The .i.'ostal Guide.
The official Postal; Guide for 1891
has been issued by the Postoffice -De-
partme,nt . The volume is a little less
bulky than that of 1890, by reason of
the absence of the superfluous alpha-
betical list of postmasters. It is one of
the valuable publications issued by the
Government, and reflects credit on the
secretary of the department, Mr. W. D.
Lesneur. Special attention is directed
to the following changes,-Insnilicient-
ly prepaid registered matter addressed
to Canada and the United States may
be forwarded. Scaled cans of staple
articles of use or consumption may be
sent at fifth•class rate. Insufficiently
paid natters of all classes, except tran-
sient newspapers, may be forwarded
conditionally. Newspapers containing
lottery advertisements are refused de-
livery to the United htatcs. ' Blank
forms and lirirted stationary may pass
at the rate of 1 cent per two ounces.
Toronto is the only city in the Domin
Yon of whose streets an alphabetical list
is given in the Guide.

To tha'purification of your blood, for
at no season is the body so susceptible
to the benefits to he derived from a good

Hood's Sarsaparilla is the people's fav-

the kidneys and liver, repairing nerve
tissues, strt:rll;thening and invigorat-
ing the whole body, as well as check
ing the progress of acute and chronic

Curious Facts about Faster.
The fact that Easter falls on a very,
early date this year (March 29) has
caused a "friend of facts and figures.'
to collect some curious statistics. In
1883, he says, Easter fell on µMar. 25'
and it will only once again i'n this cen;•
tury, namely, in 1894, fall. on so early
a date. In the three following. centur
ies it will occur only eight times on the
same date -namely, in 1051, 2035, 2046,
2057, 2103, 2114, 2125 and 2198. The
earliest date on which Easter can fall
is on, Mar. 22nd and this only in case
the moon is full on March 21st., when
this date happens to fall on a Satur-
day. This combination of circum
stances is extremely rare: it occurred
in 1093, 1761 and 1817, and will hap-
pen again i11 1990, 2076 and 2145;
while during the following centuries it
is not once "on the books" at this early
date, On the other hand. Easter never
falls later than April 25th.; this was
the case in 1666, 1784 and 1886,. and
will only happen once in the nest cell
tury-namely, in 1943.

St, Malys,
Knox Presbyterian Church was
burned on Monday morn.ug March 16th.
The fire was first noticed at about 7
o'clock, in the basement. Through
negligence of those in charge, both
steam and hand engines were out of
order and refused to work, and the
magnificent edifice was totally destroy-
ed before the eyes of hundreds without
the first particle of water being thrown
upon it. The fire originated from the
furnace, and must have been mould
ening nearly all night. The building
is insured in the Western for $5,000,
and the loss is estimated at about $15,-
000.
