A BAD MIX.
The foreman of a Montreal paper is in trouble. In making up his forme he mixed an article on Catholic advances in Africa with a recipe for making tomato catsup, and has been dodging the editorial ■hot-gun ever since. As published the article reads:—"The Roman Catholics claim to be making material advances in Africa, particularly in Algeria, where they have 175,000 adherents, and a missionary iociety for Central Africa. Daring the past three years they have obtained a firm footing in the interior of the Continent, and haTe sent forth several missionaries into the equatorial regions. They are accustomed to begin their work by buying heathen children and educating them The easiest and best way to prepare them is to first wipe them with a-clean towel ; then place them in dripping-pans and bake them till they are tender. Then you will have no difficulty in rubbing them through a sieve, and will save them by not being obliged to cut them in slices and cook for several hours." -
