As this had been-Ain at a loss, even without allowing for depre ciation, the sale will result in an Im mediate reduction of local taxes. The Irish Independent states: * “The Bray urban council have de cided to offer.for sale their electric light works, which have been run at a very heavy loss, while the cost of pub lic lighting was ia excess of that of ■Dublin, although the lamps were only lighted for a third of the time they were in the metropolis.” The Dublin municipal plant, how *' iv, was run at u loss last year of f over $20,000, irrespective of deprecia tion, which would have brought the , loss up to $50,000.

"By the way,” she said before paying this, “do you ndud keeping this pot jivith the purchases in it until I come back and pay for them, as 1 have to buy other things some distance off, and it will be more convenient for me to leave tbe things here till later?” This request was willingly acceded to, and, lifting the pot carefully out of the basket, the old dame placed it, with an effort. In a corner; then.' plac ing her basket on her arm, left the shop. Hours went by, day ripened into evening, and evening gave way to night, but the old woman did not return. At last the proprietor thought of examining the earthenware pot to see if by any chance it had its owner’s address upon it, and great was his as tonishment, not untinged with dis may, to And that it possessed no bot tom. —London Answers Tail persona live longer than short ones, and those born in the spring have sounder constitutions than those born at Any other season.
