Pickard, Parents,of- school children may find considerable "gospel" in the following.: Before listening to complaints of your children about the partiality and gen- eral fiendishness of their teachers, and getting all worked up and excited over it, it is better to reflect a little. Remem- ber that One or half a &seri cherubs drive you crazy about half the tithe, and bear with the teacher who is mak ing intelligent men and women out of as unpromising stuff as you were 20 or 30 years ago. Remember that, be- sides your boy, who everybody knows is an angel, he has to contend with that awful boy of your neighber, and you know what a holy terror he is.

Riehard Pickard, Taal Brussels Post is agitating the erection of a binding twine factory in Brussels. Would it not be well for Exeter to try and secure such an in- dustry, We understand there is a gentleman living in the township of Hay, who is willing to commence such a factory if the town would bonus him in some small -way. Easter Sunday, which is limited to the dates between the 22nd of March and. the 5th of April in any year, falls this year on the 6th of April. It is al- ways the first Sunday after the full moon which happens on or next after the 21st of March. Consequently if the full moon happened upon Sunday, Easter is the Sunday after.

The former classes. are now getting in their best licks, however. The man who blows out the gas has a rival. He recently stopped oyer night at a Catholic hotel and the smell of burning cloth prompted a search for him, After rapping up several guests, this' man, finally peered out of the darkness of his room and confessed that .he had, tied a towel around the electric light, and it' had scorched it. "I tried to blow it ont," he said, but it wouldn't go out." Sugar makers. are now at work. We can remember the time when we looked forward to sugar making with as much interest as the sailor does for the spring time. Sugar making is not carried.on so extensively now as in bygone .days, from the fact, that, our great maple forests have been hewn down by the sturdy hand of toil. •But the industry is now carried forward, by the City people, there being large maple groves(?) in Detroit, Toronto, London, and' other,large cities.
