LIFTING AND UPLIFTING.

Our Canadian contemporary, _Jack Canuck_, publishes a protest against
the invasion of Canada by British temperance reformers, whom it
describes as "uplifters." Immediately below this protest it produces a
picture from _Punch_, lifted without any acknowledgment of its origin.

"On Sunday one British pilot, flying at 1,000 ft., saw four
hostile craft at about 5,000 ft., and dived more than a mile
directly at them. As he whirled past the nearest machine he
opened fire, and saw the observer crumple up in the fusselage
as the pilot put the machine into a steep live."--_Dally
Sketch_.

While confessing ignorance as to the exact nature of a "live,"
we are sure it is not as steep as the rest of the story.

"Vicar, Compton Dando, Bristol, would Let two Fields, or few
Yearlings could run with him."--_Bristol Times and Mirror_.
