\u201cBIT\u2019\u2019 AT LENNOXVILLE Many loyal subjects of the King are all doing their best towards the Mother Country, and it is interesting to note how Mr.and Mrs.F.Day of Lennoxvillê, have done their little a distinct class of three, the others being Scott and Thackeray.While Scott wrote of the past and Thackeray I dealt with the aristocracy, Dickens ! wrote of the present and his characters were drawn with infinite pains j from those really existing in all spheres and grades of society.He was always genial, could he very sarcastic but was never pessimistic ; he believed in innate goodness and abhorred inborn sin.Dickens\u2019 genius was rather remarkable from the fact that neither his father nor ancestors were distinguished.He had wonderful powers of observation, was a good ama-! teur actor, and a brilliant speaker, and the way he was brought up proved that adverse circumstances are not always hindrances, but that the lower rungs of the ladder often lead to fame.All things worked together for good with him and all the sordid circumstances, trials and miseries of his boyhood and youth were afterwards turned to brilliant account.As a boy he was very sensitive, but whatever he undertook he did with all his might.The varied phases of his career from the occupation of pasting labels on blacking casks as a boy to the po-sition of a celebrated author were ably reviewed by the lecturer, and \u2022 Carlyle's appreciation and flattering description of him was mentioned as I proof of his worth and ability.Dr.Symonds referred at length to ! many of the celebrated types of char-: acter found in the novelist\u2019s works, and read with scholarly insight many j quotations from his writings.How-Dickens was portion of giving their sons towards ! whenhe

place on Tuesday afternoon and was very largely attended by the local residents, who turned out to pay their last tribute of respect to deceased.Mr.McCurdy, who was in his 60th year, was a lifelong resident of Lennoxville and was very highly esteemed by all the community.He had been ill for nearly two years, and during the last week of his sickness was attended by Miss Smiley, a jnurse, of Montreal, who is a sister : of his widow.Service was held at the house, conducted by the Rev.J.B.Hicks, of the Methodist Church, of which Mr.McCnrdy was a consistent member.A quartette from the choir rendered the hymns very sweetly.The interment took place at Malvern Cemetery.| Deceased is survived by his widow, two daughters and one son.His daughter, Florence, is a teacher at, J East Angus, and the younger one, j Doris, attends the Lennoxville Academy.The only son, Wilbur, lives at home on the farm.was well told, he being then 30 years of age, \u201cyoung, handsome, almost worshipped for his genius, full of vigor, kindness and freshness of spirit.\u2019\u2019 Dickens\u2019 attention to detail and his hatred of hypocrisy received much notice from the lecturer, who answered criticisms that his caricatures were exaggerated by the remark that Dickens was true to nature and did not mean to exaggerate, but that his intense powers of observation together with his vivid imagination acted up on the thing he saw and described like a microscope.Although some of his books contained over one hundred characters, none were supernumary.The success of his writings was due to the fact that the world of imagi nation became far more real to him than the natural world.He had a great fund of humor and his pet aversions were miserliness, hypocrisy and shams.\u201cAs long as he is read there will be one great influence at work for humanizing, ennobling, purifying and cheering.\" Mr.H.D.Lawrence presided and a hearty vote of thanks was accorded Dr.Symonds on the motion of Mr.W.J.H.McKindsey, seconded by Prof.Boothroyd.-?- \u201cThe Invention of the devil,\" Such -Is Sir Ian Hamilton's description of me, the moat loved and the most hated of all man's creations for human slaughter.I am actually an offshoot of the automatic gun, which Was first brought Into prominence In the Franoo-Oeman War under the name of mitrailleuse.This was manufactured In French workshops at the personal expense of the Emperor, and every effort was made to keep It secret, even from the soldiers.But the Germans knew of It, and, while openly professing to their troops that It was merely a scientific toy, privately resolved to turn the whole weight Of their guns on it when it appeared on the field.The result was that the hopes of the French were unrealised.The Path to Fortune My father, In fact.Is Sir Hiram : Maxim, and Ï was born In London in rather curious circumstances.While on a visit to Vienna, In 1882, Sir Hiram, who was then engaged in electrical and chemical work, met an American Jew whom he had known In the United States.\"Hang your chemistry and electricity!\u201d said the gentleman.\"If you wish to make a pile of money, invent something that will enable these Europeans to cut each other's throats with greater facility.\u201d Sir Hiram pondered deeply, and I was the outcome.The essential difference between me and my predecessors is that I am automatic In action; that is to say, the gas of the explosion or tho force of the recoil Is utilised to lock and unlock my breech mechanism, load me, fire me, and eject the empty cartridge case.And all this is dona with great rapidity.In one minute I can pour out a stream of 500 or G00 bullets, w-hiclt can be aimed to a distance as far as the eye can reach.Under ideal conditions, indeed, my capacity is greater still, having reached 2.000 rounds in three minutes.But In practice my maximum rate of fire is about 60i rounds per minute, because of the heat engendered, etc.Equal to 200 Rifles The heat produced by firing may surprise you.Round my barrel is a lacket holding 7^ pints of water, which is for keeping me cool, or, rather, to prevent me from getting red hot.Now, after 600 rounds of rapid fire, this water is boiling, and if firing Is continued about 114 pints is evaporated for every 1,000 rounds.At worst, however, I do the work of many men.It is usually calculated that in half an hour, under ordinary conditions, 1 deliver a greater volume of fire than 60 rifles, though the French think that this is an under-estimate.From their experiments they have deduced that my fire is, at a definitely known range equal to that of from 150 to 200 rifles, and to 60 to SO rifles when the range has been obtained by a range-finder.Here, In a nutshell, is the reason why I have been so largely used since I \"cams out.\" Adopted by the British army in 1889, I have \u201cassisted,\u201d as the French say.in each of our subsequent campaigns, including the war in South Africa, where, however, owing to the nature of the operations, I was comparatively ineffective.The Russians also pressed me into service in Man- .\u2018 \u2018 >- ap- churia, and with results which fr Ja quently disconcerted the stoical anese commanders.A remarkable case in point occured at Mukden.The Huns' Belief In a certain village the Russians had four machine guns, two on each side, and these played such havoc with a certain
