THE MILLINERY DISPLAYS. Some of the Beautiful Creations for Ladies' Head clear this Season. The spring millinery openings of 1904 will he welcomed after the hard winter. as they herald the advent of Easter, a period that not only means Beed time, but fills the heart with joy- ful anticipations of the re -leafing of the trees, a glorious Canadian sum- mer, and causes us to prepare for the change to genial sprint , The change is needful, and those bo have taste naturally want the chs ge of clothing to. be healthy and atteactive, hence the strong coryipcbition emoufr the setts provide what in feminine ppa lama e dire called 'chin hats' for their custoater . To be successful in the preparation of head gear, milliners must visit the leading centres of mill- inery fesbion, and it is after such journeys that we see the excellent ag- gregation of head adornment with which our millinery establishfrients have been crowded the past week. As might be anticipated, there were hate, light, g.iny and dainty, and others that were suitable for Easter, as they were extensive enough for sun shades, and bore the loveliest of flowers. Among those exhibited were many of marvellous design and tasty trimming. the following being worthy of special mention; MISS OAMERne make) it a rule not to have tan open- ing, but nevertheless has seine choice samples, and a lal'ge stock of fashion- able shapes hnd tr'irannin s to select fermi. These would appeal to the eye and imagination of the lady vise tor, when the reporter would fail to understand the fine points and possible effects enumerated by Miss Cameron. A visit will of course be made by all of our lady readers who take an inter- est in these things, and all will he weleomed and given full particulars by Miss Cameron and her assistants. miss DONAGH shows, or following amongst many beautiful creatiene :" Large' black• hat of chiffon and feathers, with fancy crown, and facing of twisted chiffon rosettes with embroidered medalion tree.

Several candidates, who are uniting with the Baptist church here, are to be baptised tonight ip the Clinton Baptist church, by Rev. W. b. Magee. They will be received into member- ship here on Sunday. The Seaforth Methodist church have extended a call to Rev. Mr. Birks, of the Colborne street Methodist church, London, to become their pastor at the close of the present conference term. Mr, Birks has accepted the invitation, subject to the approval of the Station- ing Committee. London Free Press : Rev.' Dr. Dan- iel, of Goderich, has signified his acceptance of the call extended to him from Colborne Street Methodist church, tbia city. The reverend gentleman is well known, here, having spent the full term of the itineracy as pastor at the First Methodist church. His acceptance is made subject to the decision of the Stationing Committee. The call extended by the First church some years ago was accepted on simi- lar terms and it will be recalled that the Stationing Committee did not fall in with the proposed transfer. The members of the First church were in- sistent, however, and fin ally won the day;. The receipts of the various funds under the management of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Churcb in Canada for the year 1903-1004 amounted to $274,317.20 at the close of last'month, which is praut(cally the tkital sum which will be reported to the General Assembly. The follow- ing is an official account of the offer- ings: Home Missions, $113,419.55; Augmentation Fund, $23,72$.02; For- eign Mission Fund, $65,$75.00; French evangelization, $20,424.40; Pointe aux Trembles, $9,753.29; Widows and Or- phans' Fund, $10,767.80 ; Assembly Fund, $4,812.69.; Aged and Infirm Ministers, $9,936.76; Knox College, $6,032.69.;- Queen's College, $3,127.80; Montreal College, $2,683.90 ; Manitoba College, $4,052.70. A Winnipeg despatch says: Metho- dists are making remarkable progress here, rapidly outgrowing the accomo- dation of the present churches, and numerous extensions and new edifices are contemplated or already under construction "In reviewing the whole situation," Rev. Mr. Bowles said, "it is plain that Methodism in Winnipeg has reached a crisis which demands wisdom, courage, enterprise and undertakings which will at the most/Moderate estimate possibly cost the Methodlste of Winnipeg over 'a quarter of a million dollars. Part of the policy in these enterprises is that weaker . churches should he helped as far as possible, and success is con- fidently anticipated." EASTER SERVICES AT ST. GEORGE'S. 8 A.

George's will be held in the school room on Monday evening, All the members of the congregation should he present. Beginning with last Wednesday evening the celebration of the most famous and most beautiful of all Jew- ish commemorations, the Passover festival, began, when the fleet cere- mony, the seder, or home service, com- menced at sundown and lasted for two hours. This is the beginning of a week that has greater historical significance than any other in the Jewish calendar. The festival is held to celebrate the be- ginning of Israel'streedom from Egyp- tian bondage. Thursday and Friday, with the orthodox Jew, is a holiday. During the entire week, which ends the following Wednesday with a boli. day, members of the Jewish church eat their bread unleavened. Nearly every article of food eaten by Jews duringthisweek has some significance. Thus, horseradish le eaten to signify their ancestors' hitter struggle while in bondage, Orthodox Jews celebrate the festival ten days, There is said to he seine confusion of dates, and in or- der to 'snake sure, every holiday is celebrated for two days, and the Pass- over week is celebrated for ten days instead of seven, There was a fair attendance at the fortnightly meeting of St. George's Young People's Guild on Tuesday evening, and after the opening pro- ceedings two excellent papers were read, Mies Ethel Mosely taking "The Journey of the Israelites Through the Wiidernegs to the Protnised Land," as her subject, and Miss Hoskin "The Life and Character of Joseph." On the 12th inst. Mr. Hoskin will address the Guild on a subject to he chosen. The high tea or hot supper served in the lecture room of Knox church, on Thursday of last week, was largely at- tended. The room had been nicely decorated and arranged with tables, and from 0 to near 8patrons kept every seat filled. The supper was of great variety and exceedingly agreeable to the palate, as the best of every known delicacy of the season was included in the bill offare. The meal was well served, ani army of waitresses who understood the worts being in attend- ance. The ladies of Knox church are to be congratulated on 'the success of their effort, the net receipts being over $100. Against The Cigarette. Dr. Sheard, Medical Health otlicet for Toronto, thus replies to a letter Dorn Inspector Archibald, of the Moral ity Department of that city. The llr. is fond of tobacco himself, but he says ;' Replying to your communication of March 21st, re cigarette swokierg, i desire to state that the cigarette evil apart from the inhalation of the smoke, must he discussed in a cert:cit sense as part of that chargeable e the general habit of tobacco srnokinr Tobacco smoking, when excessive produces various forms of nerve de generation, particularly that of the optic nerve, and tohaeco amaurosis as well as tobacco heart are forms wel known to all physicians, although these conditions ere not so frequently seen amongst cigarette smokers as among pipe smokers, because of the earlier age of the former. It does however emphasize the influence which tobacco has upon the nervous system, and as cigarette smoking in boys is undertaken generally at the age of puberty, when the nervous sys tem is at its highest point of suscepti- bility and develope mental energy such influence is more varied and pot- nt, in my opinion, at that time than at any other period of life. This, ton is often combined with smoke inhale - ion when all the volatile, poisonous tproducts of the tobacco which should pass off in smoke are absorbed ; thus we see frequently as the result of cigarette smoking, neurotic develop- ments and degenerative changes in the nervous system leading to serious results. WHAT 18 IN TOBACCO. "Tobacco contains nice tine, nico- tiarine, melte, citeie, acetic, .oxalic and pectic acid, a trace of essential oil, with resins, fats, carbohydrates, etc. The alkaloid nicotine must he consider- ed as the constituent to which injury is commonly and justly attributed. itt exists in proportions widely variable in ordinary tobacco front one, to two per cent up to four times this amount: in smoking such tobacco in the form of citrs from 25 to 76 per cent. of the alkaloid passes into the smoke. and be- sides this there are some members of the nicotine series due to destructive distillation of other constituents of the leaf, which by some authorities are considered equally pernicious. I may add in addition that the assocla- tions of the cigarette are harmful, especially to susceptible youths. THE CIGARETTE PICTURE. "Their advertisments are often let in eastern ideas of debauchery, and pictures are sold with them not intenii- ed to improve morality and characte The stinky, excitable, timid, defier able, mental character of those yours people who indulge in this habit mus he known to ail who have given an attention to the matter. and whilst do not mean to contend that eyery frailty can be laid at this door still I believe it is a contributing factor in laying those foundations for that aberration, Which once started so swiftly passes on to disaster." Test STAR le a leader. Benmiller. A concert under the auspices of the Sons of Temperance will be given in the Temperance Hall, Benmiller, on Wednesday next, April O. A pro- gramme consisting of addresses, chor- uses, solos, graulophone, eta., will be given. It cost $200 for a special train from Stratford on Tuesday morning to get Valentine Stock, M. P. P., down in time to vote for the Government, after an all night session. Now WHO 1)1D pay that money? Mainly About People. The minister called at a certain Cana• dian home just after he had come to his new pastorate. The small bov was pres- ent long before his mother c me down - stair's to greet the domino. Tryryhtg to be cordial, the minister said, "Haw old are you, my Litt.,, mane" "I'm Live nt home, six in school and three on the cars," was the delightful reply. P. T. Barnum was a great petaled joker. On one occasion he notified the dealer from whom he bought a large amount of supplies that half the pepper be sent him was peas. The dealer indig- nantly denied the charge, and quite a warm correspondence followed, it being finally ended by Barnum, wno enquired whether half the letters in the word. "pepper" were not p's. On April Fool's day, the audience at an amateur dramatic performance in the Naval Amtlemy at Annnpol'c was elert- led when one of the instructors ,nu,de his appearance before the curtain about the time the perfornance was to begin, and solemnly announced: "I wish to make an amiouncement--a very sad an- nouncement. Under the circumstances it scarcely seems titling that the entertain- ment should proceed. Word has just been received that one of the navy's ves- sels has gone down with all on boardl" A hush of horror followed this gravely delivered speech. for most of those in the etudienoe were connected by close family ties with the navy. "What was the na,ne of the vessel?" came a voice from the roar of the hall. "The submarine boat '1 -Leland; " replied the instructor, as he dodged and made a hasty exit. A correspondent of the London "Out- look" tells a story which he heatrd Lord '"llufferin relate of Sheridan Le Fent': Sheridan's father—the Archbishop of Meath—was a great stickler fur punctu- ality, a regard his son did not share. One morning young Sheridan, then about eight years old, descended unusually late for breakfast, and was met at the door by his father, watch in hand. "is this right, sir; is this right?" demanded the prelate in stern 'tones. "1 don't know, sir; replied Sheridan, looking at the watch and pretending to think the ques- tion applied to it and not to his conduct, "but I rather bhink it's fast" For this impertinence ?young Sheridan was con- demned to write an essay on "The Three Ages of Man." Here is what he wrote: "There are three ages of man: First— When he is engaged in planning every conceivable mode of wickedness. This Is knol4n ne the age of innocence. Second —When he is puttinghis nefarious plans into opoation. This is called the prime of manhood. Third --When he heroines anxious about his soul and turns to re- ligion. This is dotage." Thomas A, Edison is o4 the opinion that it was anger that first turned hitn toward inventing the incandescent light. That wait, of course, in the early days, and Edison was then quite the inventor that one reads of --poor, enthusiastic, never sleeping. He lived in a small house, innocent of anything approaching a la- boratory; ecientife apparatuses were in every room, and all tate money went for experiments. Then, one day, came the crisis in the guise of the collector for the gas company. He had term to the house often, but Edison, hardly heeding his calls, hod waved him away, saying "Don't bather me." On this lest call the collector's instructions were peremp- tory. Ile must turn oft the gas. 'Batt, man," pretested Mr. Edison, "t can't atop this experiment tonight. 1'11 pay the bill, of oouree. I didn't know about it. I must finish' this work with no inter- ruption:" But oho man wee a gas col- lector and the ilghte went aut. "That night, se I sat helpless in bbe darkness," says the great inventor, "1 ewore a deep, solemn and far-reaching oath that I would pat all the gee companies in the world out of business I haven't done Quin oat. but 1 did the beet I could."

Temperance Notes. The attendance at Eureka Council, R. T. of T„ last Monday evening was most gratifying, and the debate on "Intemperance vs. War," while an un- pretentious one, was most interesting and enjoyable. The affirmative, or in- temperance side, under Mr. C3, M, El- liott, were voted the winner's, though Mr. Bezzo and his ('011eaggesus made a good argulnent for War. OB'tMendue, April 11, the Council wil bold tun nt hpomated.e for the members and invited -. guests, when a good time is antics - The regular meeting of the W. C. T.

The tee ion have undertaken juvenile temper- ance work, and iiaveorganlzed a Loyal Temperance Legion for boys, with a membership of 12 at the first meeting, which wee considered extra good for a beginning, and under the efficient tnanagernent of Mrs. I3rown, Mrs. Rob- ertsonandMrs, (1 -rev.) McGee, no doubt it will flourish and grow to he all they could desire. The pleasant weather and the flood scenes along the Maitland reduced the attendance at the,.g ospel temperance meeting last Sundn,y afternoon, hut the service was both prnfltahle Mid in- teresting. Mr. 0. M. Eiliotes address wits a practical one, full of fureeful frets, and was most attentively listen • - ed to. Mr. Hnsingthwnitns cornet solo, "The Holy City,' was tlue, and the chairman, Mr. W.

There never was, and never will he, a universal panacea, in one remedy, for all ills to which flesh is heir•- -the very nature of many curatives being such that were the germs of other and differently seated diaereses rooted in the system of the patient—what would relieve one ill, would in turn aggravate another.
