"What is an epistle?" asked a Sunday school teacher of her clasi. " The wife of an apostle," replied the young hopeful. Tiik word " quiz " has its origin in the brain of Quin, the actor. He one evening made a bet with a nobleman of £100 that by breakfast time the next morning there should be in the mouths of Londoners a word that was never before heard. The bet was accepted, and when the theatre had closed that night the irrepressible actor furnished eacli of the " supers " and others whom he had hired with a good lump of chalk, and instructed one and all to go through the principal streets of the metropolis and chalk on the flags the word " quu."

Beware of them, louch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitten, with a cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr Sonle's name blown in the glass. Trust nothing die.
