At one meetâ€" ingâ€"inâ€"ruralâ€"Quebecâ€"atâ€"which Mr. It is probable that not many of th« younger generation of business men know the venerable Postmaster of the City of Montreal. Montreal‘s post master, with his full white beard, heavy white moustache, and strong face, is still a fine figure of the fight ing statesman. In his prime he was ‘one of the most effeciive political fighters of his time. Gifted with a ringing bass voice and a ready eloâ€" quence, he could hold his own on any platform, and stirring indeed were the political campaigns in the prov» ince when he took to the field. He began life as a lawyer, and was one of the leaders of the Bar before he plunged for good into politics. He held the position at one time of batonâ€" nier of the Bar, and was offered but declined a seat on the Bench. An ardent patriot, he took a lerding part in fostering the national pride and selfâ€"respect of the French Canadian race, and himself set a fine example in a strenuous, ambitious life that commanded theâ€"respect of friend and foe alike. Taillon was the chief epeaker, a memâ€" ber of the audience kept interrupting. He wanted to ask a question. The chairman appealed to him to be quiet. Mr. Taillon asked him again and again to keep his question till the end of his speech, when he would be only too glad to answer anything he liked to ask him. No, no, that would not do. He wanted to be answered now. The audience took sides, and as the meeting looked like being broken up, Mr. Tailion waived the point, and told the man to put his question at once. John Halter of New Germany â€" and Mr. Rennie and Miss Rodgers of Galt "I want you to answer one quesâ€" tion," said the man, "that is all." "Yes, yes," said Mr..Taillon. "What is it " "Well," he said, "I‘ve been puzzling my head to know how you manage when you go to bed at night. Do you put your beard inside the bedâ€" clothes, or outside?" The meeting rocked with laughter, in which Mr. Taillon joined, and not all the efforts of all the speakers could get the people sober enough again to listen to serious politics.

GAINING ‘ Wathlng Painted Wood _ The easiestCand quickest way of eleaning paint is to have two palls iot water, one cold, to which a tableâ€" spoonful of ammonia has been added, ‘m one lot, with the addition of a little ammonia and scap powder. With & soft flannol wash the paint with the soapy water, then rinso with the cold water, using wash leather instead of the flannel, and wring the leather fairly dry. Paint washed like this dries ;with a nice polish, which no amount of drying with eloths and using ~hotâ€"water alone will impart. ~ But Some of the Olditime Frilis Dis earded in Modern Life . No, Romance is not dead, but it takes a different form in this practical The man of today can love just as fervently as in the days of sighs ‘and verse. An exaggerated romantic wooâ€" ing and a Gretpa. Green marringe do not appeal to the presentâ€"day maid. Imagipe her consternation if her.lover serenaded her at night, or suggested an‘ elopement! She prefers a an who will get about his business and provide a good time for her. ' Instead of maintaining a lordly reâ€" serve as to his business and income, the man of toâ€"day discusses both with his wife, and her women‘s wit is often helpful. 1t is certainly not sentimen tal of him to notice that Johnile‘s boots are wearing out before he realizes the fact that his wife has done her hair in a new fashion, but it is eminently more practical. And Chivalryâ€"well, outwardly chiv alry has decreased.. Woman strives with man in nearlyâ€"every flield of the labor market, and naturally the attiâ€" tude she assumes does not give rise to overâ€"chivalrous feslings on the part of a man. But womanly bearing will always call ‘forth couriesy in the average man. Woman takes a different stand in a man‘s thoughts today to what she did in theâ€"say, early Victorian age. Toâ€"day she is rcccpted more as a comâ€" rade and practica!l hclpmate than she was then. She is not regarded as & divinity, neither is 1 man regarded as a peragon of virtucs. Men and women know eacw other now as they really areâ€"more alive to each other‘s limiâ€" tations, and the knowledge creates a true love based on reality, not a hignâ€" flown, sentimental ideal. . The tales of oldâ€"world gallantry make excellent reading, but it is doubtful if a court‘ly wave of the hat would comperrate the woman of toâ€" day for a sparsely laid table. The girl of toâ€"day is educated with her brother, and takes her stand in the world with him; she realizes, when grown up, that other men are but a counterpartâ€"she does not exâ€" pect perfection. But it is a man who combines the tenderness of love with & practical eye to the present and future that the woman of the present day values.
