How to be iiappy though married is a problem that seldom worries bho man who does not spoil his temper and digestion by drinking inferior whiskies, but insists always on the best “Perfection” Whisky. x
A reminder is given of the general meeting of parishioners to he hold in the Parish Hall this evening-to discuss the question of enlarging the Parish Hall and other important business. Everyone must have noticed that in moving pictures the wheels of carriages or automobiles often seem to be turning backward instead of forward. One puzzled person wrote to the “Scientific American,” asking why, and this is that paper’s answer: "In taking a moving picture there are, perhaps, sixteen exposures made each second. If, now, the spokes of the wheels of a carriage move with a speed so that the spokes are in the same position at each exposure, that wheel will stem to stand still in the pnture. if the wheel is moving slower, then the spokes will ho seen further backwards, while it will seem to turn f-.mi.d when the spokes nn/; frsv enough to oicupy positions [meter ferward in each fxposure. It is a atMr of the interruption for the exposure and the motion of the wheel. If there are sixteen exposures and the wheel turns, through the space between the two spokes in one-sixteenth of a second, the wheel would be in the same position at each successive exposure, and so would not seem to move at all.” The Duchess of Albany is on a visit to her son, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha at Kallenberg, in the Thnringian Forest, says the “Pall Mall Gazette.” When the death of his uncle transformed the young Duke of Albany from, an Eton boy into a German ruler, bis mother, although devoted to her husband’s country, saw the wisdom of making the transformation as complete as possible, and threw all her influence into reconciling him to his new destiny. The Duchy of Saxe-Co-hurg is an exceedingly rich succession. The. largo estates which go with the throne are situated in Coburg, Gotha, Upper Austria, and Tyrol, and include forests and mines which bring in immense revenues, so that, in renouncing the succession, the Duke of Connaught and his son sacrificed something to their desire to remain English princes. The House of Saxe-Coburg is less rich in Crowns than it used to he. Although its scions still occupy the thrones of Belgium and Bulgaria, the Portuguese Crown has slipped from the head of one member of the family within the last year or two.
Tlig victory of tlio Australian crow at Hcnloy proves that in rowing, as in other things Australasia, can compote on equal terms with any nation in the world. But there’s ono thing it can never do, that is, make a whisky equal to “Perfection.” s
