THE RULING PASSION

I wish our young follows would realise there is something in life besides football. As an omployer of labour 1 havo been greatly shocked when'going through tho mill to hear nothing but football talked from one week-end to another.; —Mr William Smith. * » » * • THE INCREDULOUS FISH. Tho last thing which a deep-fish, spending all its life far. down in the depths of the ocean, would realise would bo water. If anyone suggested to that fish that tho.ro was such a thing as Water it would deny-its existence, hnd even persecute, those who' suggested that there was anything' of the sort.—Sir Oliver Lodge. * » » « • NO FORRADER. If I could get votes for women by turning the Government out I would bo prepared to do so to-morrow, but wo know that would not be tho result of defeating the Government. —Mr Ramsay Macdonald, M.P. *•, * * • ONCE A WEEK. The weakness of tho church is that it is ready to listen to all kinds of ideals upon Sunday, and bo moved by them in a sense, but on the strict understanding that when Sunday night comes to an end we turn from religion to business, and the emotions raised need not be acted upon for another six days.— Rev J. Scott Lidgett.
