The C jrvallis stores aad shops are now
assuming the usual holiday air, and
every day the streets show an in
crease in the number of persons out
for holiday trading. The Christmas
shopper is wise who begins buying early
and avoids the rush and worry so com
mon to the last few days before Christ
mas. Besides this the early shopper has
tha advantage of a much better stock
toselect from, since tti.3 goods have not

Public concerts o"xe their "direct en
couragement to John Banister, who
had won fame by his playing on the
Violin and who succeeded the cele
brated Baitzar aa leader of Charles II.'s
band of twenty-four violins. Pepys, in
nn entry in his 5iary for February,
16G7, tolls vis the court gossip of the
flay "how the king's viallin Banister
Is mad that the kins hath a French
man come to be chief of some part of
the king's mr.sique."
ISanlster'3 concerts at the close of the
year 1G72 were advertised in the Lon
don Gazette as follows: "These are to
give notice that at Mr. John Banister's
house (now called the Musick School),
ever against the George tavern in
White Fryers, the present Monday will
be musick performed by excellent mas
ters, beginning precisely at 4 of the
clock in the afternoon, and every after
noon for the future precisely at the
same hour."
Four -years later on we read again:
"At the Academy in Little Lincoln's

by Mr. John Banister." The admission

BIRTH OF THE BUS.
Tliis Class of Vehicle First Appeared
la l'jiriu Ia 1CG2.
'. "e omnibus appeared In Faris la
16 a "onrrosne a cinq sous" (coach
for t. nce halfpenny), by authority
of Louu XIV., under the management
of Pascal, the mystic and philosopher.
Whether this eminent thinker originat
ed the idea is not clear, but there la no
doubt that his influence assisted in tha
establishment of the service under the
auspices of a royal decree.
Later on these earliest omnibuses
ceased to run owing to lack of support,
and did not reappear in Paris until
1S27, when Lafitte, the banker, who
was among the largest proprietors,
was credited with "originating the re
vived service.
The new coaches started to ply In
London on July 4, 1S29, when the first
one left Paddington for the Bank of
England, and another ran from the
bank to the Yorkshire Stingo, New
road. These iirst British bussea were
known from the man who organized
them as "Shillibeers," and the conduc
tors of the first two are said to have
been the eons of British naval officers
Three horses drew them, and they car
rled twenty-two passengers, all inside
London Standard.
Jest Grit.
When your fowls seem to care for
nothins you give them just ofiicr them
a Utile grit. When hens molt slowly
it is usually due to impaired digestion,
which means that you should give them
a little grit. If you wish to pre
vent chicken cholera by keeping your
flock iu full vigor, just give thorn
a little grit. If you wish to derive ev
ery particle of lime from tho food giv
en your poultry, just see that they have
plenty of grit. If you wish to starve
your hens to death, give them plenty
Of good wholesome food, but withhold
the grit and they will starve in the
midst of plenty. The best general pur
pose medicine I know is good, sharp,
well prepared grit, with a whole lot
of exercise, every day in the year,
