Messrs, Perkins & Martin disposed of

A London citizen, who has suffered
from the class described, writes to the
Free Press es follows:—"A man who
deliberately leaves poisoned meat ly-
ing about his premises isn't fit to live
in a civilized community. He is a
reckless lawbreaker, mean, cruel, re
gardless of the rights of others, and a
constant menace to the safety of every
one so unfortunate as to live in the
same neighborhood with him.

House-cleaning time is again here
and no one realizes it more than the
"good man of the house," Visions of

A Collingwood citizen who wrote
"All is well" on the margin of a news
paper which he sent by mail has been
fined $10 and costs. A young lady in
the same town who scribbled a few
words on a paper has been fined a sim-
ilar amount. This will answer as an-
other of the numerous warnings which
have appeared in our columns. If you
ever laid yourself liable, do not do it
again.
It is stated that a "soeiety" man of
a town not a thousand miles from Ex-
eter recently sent $1 to an advertiser
to learn how to "have pants made so
that they will not bag at the knees, no
matter how long they may be worn."
He was delighted to be told that
knickerbockers, cut short enough so
that they would not come below the
knees, had been found to fill the bill in
every instance.

Yes, Dress Goods! We have never placed such an as-
sortment of choice dress materials on our counters—
but, thanks to the ladies, the dress goods department
is booming. And no wonder. Such lovely goods,
and such values, too. We are showing a special line
of new shot effects in suit ;ends—which are being -very
much admired—they are perfect beauties, no two
alike. Ask to see them. .

The present spring-like weather is
the earliest opening of spring since 18
77. In that year grain was sown on
April 1st, ou the higher lands and
though but little grain will be sown as
early this season, every indication
would go to predict an unusually early
spring.
While the snowfall of Friday night
nay not be relished at all by dwellers
in towns and cities, the farmer has
much to be thankful for on account of
it. It is better than a fall of rain to
the land and will have the effect of set
tling ground that has been honeycomed
by the recent dry frosts. Fall wheat
and clover will be much benefited.

If there is any particular horse in
this neighborhood that we admire, it is
one belonging to Mr. Chas. Snell, our
expressman. It is docile and obedient,
and is also able to get a "move on." It
is a most intelligent beast By cer
tain motions of the hand it knows when
to stop, when to move, when to turn
around, etc., which is all done while
Mr. Snell walks along the side walk.
The whole secret in having a horse like
this is, "a merciful man is merciful to
his beast."
Don't take cold when cleaning the
cellar this spring. Get to work at it at
once, while it is warmer in the cellar
than outdoors. If you wait till the
outside air is heated and you get chill-
ed eae,h time you go into the cellar it
is running a risk which has resulted in
pneumonia or worse; besides, it takes,
longer to do the work, as it is almost
impossible to stay in the cellar long at
a time. Clean the cellar early while it
is cool weather and you still wear
winter clothing
Few people really appreciate the
qualities of an editor. Though the
most abused class of mortals in this
world, they display an amount of
Christian forgiveness seldom met with.
We lately read of an editor down East
who had occasion to attend the funeral
of a subscriber who for fourteen years
had failed to pay his subscription.
When the coffin lid was about to be
fastened down he quietly placed in the
coffin a linen duster, a large palm leaf
and a receipt for making ice,
A gentleman who took a walk
through the cemetery grounds during
the `recent' `fine weather, informs us
that ninny of the tombstones and head-
stones are about topp ing over, while a
few are on the ground. This is prob-
ably owing to the storms and frost of
'the past;; winter and, as soon as the
weather permits, people who have de
parted friends and relatives laid to rest
in the " City of the Dead " should see
that their burial plots have proper care
and that the memorial stones are in
proper position.
"Penny" is a corruption of the word
"pound;" "Eightpenny" means eight
pounds to the thousands nails, It is an
old English term and was originally
written "eightpound nails" (the thous-
and being understood), but the English
shortened it to "eightpun," after which
it became "eightpen," and so on, until
finally the original "pound'' became a
"penny." As applied to nails, there-
fore, the term "penny" has no signifi-
cance whatsoever in the true definition
of that word, but it serves as an inter-
esting illustration of how a word or
expression may, in the course of time
becetne se corrupted as entirely to lose
its original meaning,
Prosessor Cadiot, a French veterinar-
ian, is authority for the statement that
dogs often spread the disease of con-
sumption, that he had held many post-
mortem examinations of dogs supposed
to•have died of cancer and in every
case.found that tuberculosis had been
the ea`iise of death. Dr,, Cadiot insists
that .people who have infected dogs
about them are almost sure to sooner
or later contract the disease.
