Those who have to buy cherries or

Building operations are very quite
in Exeter this summer, but there seems

of our carpenters and bricklayers out
of idleness. We would like to see sev-
eral good substantial buildings in

It was currently reported and stated
by us in our last issue that hellebore
had been used in mistake for pepper in
the chicken pie eaten by the people
who were poisoned at Grand Bend, July
2nd. We have since been creditably
informed that such is not the case and
that the poisoning is still a mystery,

The Lucan Record which has for the

chased by Mr. J. H. Benner, late of

We wish the new proprietor every suc-

The remains of the late Richard
Whiting were brought here Monday
from Mildmay and interred in the Ex-
eter cemetery after the arrival of the
evening train. Mr. Whiting was a
former resident of Dashwood having
resided there about 16 years ago. He
was a few days over 58 years of age.
About the heaviest rain storm of the
year visited this vicinity last Friday.
A stream of water full 8 inches deep
flowed down Main street, so great was
the rain fall. A very high wind pre-
vailed at the time ard one end of G.
G. Johnston's awning was blown down
which in falling went through two
arge lights of glass with a crash.
Those who have tried the experiment
affirm that a large sponge hung in the
room at night or in the day time, if it
can be behind a convenient screen,and
kept constantly wet, will greatly assist
in keeping the room cool; or a cloth
hung in the window over the blind
will cool the room as if a shower had
fallen. All know how fresh water
sprinkled on the pavement in front of
all the windows and doors will freshen
the hot dry air. This is something to
remember when the hot nights are up-
on us.
It is now high moon of the wild rose
season. The blossoms began to show
themselves two weeks ago or more,and
the last belated pink petal will not flut-
ter to earth until frosty nights are close
upon us. Meanwhile there are now
thousands falling into ruin'other thous.
ands in full splendor of pink and gold,
and yet other thousands in all stages
of the unopen bud. The wild rose
loves low, damp sunny meadows, but
the flowers seem to attain greater size
where they are partly shadowed. In-
deed, the blossoms vary greatly, not
only in size, but in color. Some of the
smallest are as dark as the heart of the
ripest and reddest watermelon, while
some of the palest, cream with faintest
pink tinge, are unusually large. The
prevailing color is the sea -shell pink,
and these grow as large as any. Some
full grown roses show daylight between
the petals, hut a few have overlapping
Petals, that give the blossom the ap-
pearance of a shallow cup. Five pet-
als is the rule for the wild rose, but
now and then freakish nature makes
one with seven. Thos who go to pluck
wild roses without a knife mustremem-
ber that it 1s impossible to break the
stalk save at a joint,
During the past week the Exeter
grist mill has bean run till eleven
o'clock every/night; owing to the in-
creased demand for flour etc. This
week they slyiiiped 150 barrels alour to
Port Hood, Sq. S., and 918 bags to Que-
bee• They are paying 58 cts for wheat.
Clever but a Swindle.
A clever attempt to swindle Western
excursionists going to Niagara Falls
has just come to light. Mileage books
have been issued by the "New York
and Niagara Falls Railway Company"
that have every indication of being
genuine. There is no such railway.
Kincardine BF -Law Carried.
The following by-laws were submit-
ted to the people Monday, namely:—
That the water works system be _pur-
chased at a cost of $40,000; that the
sum of $10,000 be expended in estab-
lishing an electric light plant. Both
carried, the former by 174 to 116, the
latter by 172 to 116, the number of
votes required to carry being 168,
Five Cents to see the Blood Marks
The Toronto papers state that two
old men who claim that they came
from St. Marys, are now 'occupying
the Williams' homestead, on the Mid-
dle road, the scene of the terrible trag-
edy. There is a ticked tacked on the
gate requesting visitors to contribute
five cents each for admission to the
house. It appears that the old codgers
have rented the premises as a money
speculation.
A New Secret Order.
The other day, after a strapping
young man had sold a load of corn and
potatoes in the market and taken his
team to the hotel barn to feed, it be-
came known to the men around the
barn that he was very desirous of join-
ing some secret society in town. When
questioned he admitted that such was
the case, and the boys at once offered
to initiate him into a new order, called
the Cavaliers of Coveo. He was told
it was twice as secret as Freemasonry,
and much nicer than Odd Fellolvship,
and the cost was only $2,00, In case
he had toothache he could draw $5.00
per week from the the relief fund, and
he was entitled to receiye $10,00 for
every headache, and $25.00 •for a sore
throat. The young man thought he
had struck a•big thing. After.: eating
a gig dinner, he was taken into a store-
room to be initiated. '1 he boys poured
cold water down his back, pnt flour on
his hair, swore him to kill his mother
if commanded, and rushed him around
for an hour without a single complaint
from his lips. When they had finished,
he inquired:—"Now I am one of the
Cavaliers of Coveo, am I? "You are,"
they answered, "Nothing more to
learn is there? "Nothings" "Well then
I am going to lick the whole crowd,"
continued the candidate, and he went
at it and before he got through he had
his two dollar initiation fee back,and
three more to boot; and bad knocked
every ose down two or three tithes a
piece. Ile did not seem greatly die•
turbed in mind as he drove out of the
yard. On the contrary, his hat was
slanted on one side and he had a fresh
five cent cigar in his teeth, and mildly
said to one of the barn boys: -''Say boy,
if you hear of any Cavaliers asking' for
a Coveo about my size, tell them 1 will
be in on the hill of the .noon to take the
Royal Sky Jungle degree."

School Doors shut.
These are the days when the school
caretaker feels that he is monarch of
all he surveys and unlocks the door for
the purpose of listening to the quiet on
the staircases and in the corridors.
These are the days when the school
teacher starts at the accustomed fact-
ory whistle which she has hitherto re
garded as marking the Latest safe per-
iod to which slumber may be prolonged
but turns over in her bed with a reas-
sured and a delight that the holidays
have come. These are the days when
the mother of many children wakes
with a sigh and her spouce feels that
the responsibilities of life are heavy,
and that to be a parent is no joke.
These are the days when boys and
girls get up early and racket through
the house much sooner after dawn than
usual because there is no school to go
to. The teachers will have a well-earn-
ed holiday; at least, those think it well
earned who have visited any of schools
on those recent parboiling days and
seen teachers valiantly striving to for-
get the thermometer and to make their
children forget it, Under such circum-
stances the patient courage of childhood
and its striyiog after duty is a thing to
wake the sympathies. It can only be
looked at with unconcern by bachelors
and hard-hearted ratepayers who think
that teachers ought to work all the
time. The important things of life are,
of course, not those that are commonly
counted important, such as dynasties,
parliments, politics, the bank rate, and
official dignities. • These do well to
make a show of importance with and to
look solemn about just as synods and
•conferences and ceremonies are useful
to make up a frame of things for
events to hang on. But the world for
the most part is kept straight by much
more intangible influences—humble
itnpulses—modest examples, which,
though distributed oyer a large area,
are but little in evidence. The teach-
ing of the Public Schoolschollars of the
city is really a rrore important issue
than what the 94 newly elected mem
bers of the Legislature will do, and
looked at on this plane the destinies of
these schollars for the holidays is a
matter worth thinking about. Nothing
will be worse than to let:them run loose
without any sort of guidance, Boys
and girls want things to do. They are
always and all the time preceiving,
wondering, contriving and on the
move. It will be far less trouble to
provide for their faculties than to leave
them unprovided for. Outdoor enjoy-
ments will, of course, take up a large
space of the time, and day a,fer day
will be spent it may be hoped beneath
the blue sky, in 'heal woods, in leafy
glades, upon grassy knolls, or near the
water that laps the shore. There are,
however, a good many hours that
must be spent indoors, and for these
any useful hints are invaluable. Some
advocate supplying children with the
means of doingsomethiiig with their
everbusv fingerf3. They are for putting
a board with a big lump of modelling
clay on it and a few simple tools' that
