This year's statistical abstract is- sued by the Dominion Government showed the population of the two sexes as follows: Ontario, in 1881, 508 men to every 494 women. In the whole of Canada, in 1881, 506 men to 494 women and in 1891, 506 men to 491 women. Mr. A. Tait, of the firm of Murray & Co„ foundry, made a business trip on his wheel on Monday last. He took or- ders for plow points, also other cast- ings at Grand Bend, Parkhill and oth- er places en route. It is a good day's work, considering that Jae did work at twelve different places and covered a distance of over 60 miles. We are pleased to learn that our townsman Mr. Chas. Snell, has been ap- pointedto the vacancy made by the death of Thomas Trivitt, Esqr. We are safe in saying that the duties of the Divis- ion Court Office is in good hands. Mr. Snell is recognized as a reliable and upright man well qualified to fill the position. His experience as magistrate will be of great assistance to him in his new office. We cannot vouch for the correctness of the report, not having personally in- spected it, but it is said that Byron Harris has invented a, patent hen's nest that is a very great convenience to Biddy, and is an automatic persuad- er for her to do good work. When the hen approaches the nest a wicket door gently opens, and after she passes in it closes and the hen has a private apart- ment all to herself. The egg of its own weight opens a trap-door and rolls noiselessly out of sight. Then, when the hen arises. puts her hands in her pockets and gets ready to walk out, not seeing the egg, thinks she has made a mistake and lays another. This sort of think is repeated until the heft of the chicken buds in the box below touches off a spring and Biddy is fired out of the apartment. Johlltoll's Sulilill 811 B�r�alas Parasols.

Some of our district correspondents have forgotten us of late. We know it is a busy time and there may not be much news to send, but try and send us something every week. Nothing helps a local paper so much as the dis- trict news and though there may not be much happening in your neighbor- hood let us know what dces. We have the paper to fill every week and we want your help. Don't forget us in the future, Look at tale Label. There are a number of our subscri- bers want the ADVOCATE and would feel annoyed were this office to cease sending it to them, but they never think of paying for the paper when payment is due, The expense of run- ning a paper like the ADVOOATt runs over $25 a week and the employes must be paid weekly and the plant and material connected with the running of the concern must be paid for when due. For this reason we expect every subscriber, who is inadvertently in ar- rear, to examine the label on his paper and to pay all arrearages on or before the first September. -Unrivalled in Attractiveness. The phenomenal success of the To- ronto Industrial Fair, which will be held this year from the 3rd to the 15th of September, is due mainly to the fact that the management always keeps faith with the public. Whatever is announced is always presented -and the people know that they are sure to get their money's worth. During this season the display will be unusually extensive and varied, In live stock, manufactures, dairy pro- ducts -in fact, all the staple depart. ments-the entries are much more numerous than before. Some entirely novel and brilliant spectacular fea- tures have been seeured, which will prove irresistible attractions and fully sustain the reputation of the Exhibit- ion for presenting the latest and most alluring forms of popular entertainment The vivid realism of the fireworks spectaele, "The Siege of Algiers", is beyond deseription. Tho reputation of the Fair, extending far and aride,be- yond the boundaries of the Dominion, and the cheap fares on the railroads, will attract large throngs of visitors. Entries in the leading departments must be in before August 11th, Among the many nice things ment- ioted as "An American's opinion of Mitchell" is the following. " In the hands of careful business men, sur- rounded by one of the richest farming communities on the continent, etc., etc" According to Mr. R. Davis, of the Mitchell Advoeate, with the above ne- cessary advantages, the Agricultural Society of that place seems to be going to the wall, as in the same issue he says: " The present outlook for hold- ing the annual fall fair is not at all promising, there being a tendency on the part of a good many of the direct- ors to tet it go by default this year. A meeting of the directors will be held in the town hall on Tuesday evening, 7th inst., at 7.30 p.m., for deciding whether there will be an exhibition this year or not. Unless the society is able to get substantial financial aid from the bust.. nears men and others of the town it will be impossible to go on, All persons in- terested in keeping up the Society are requested to be present at the meet- ing."

Next find the number of days inclusive from the 1st of Jan- uary to:the date in hand, reckoning February always as having only 28 days. Add together the sum, quotient and the first numbers and divide this by seven (7). The figure of the re- mainder gives you the day of the week, one (1) standing for Sunday, two (2) for Monday, and so on.

SPACK AN & CO Samwell's Block To Dress well In order to keep from running against the many "Beware of Paint" signs, it is almost necessary for ono to keep in "De middle ob de road". Most every shop front in town is being re- painted. What a terrible thing it is to be sub- ject to headache. Just when one has got into the midst of some work, and sometimes even pleasure for that mat- ter, the pain begins. A correspondent mentions a very simple, old fashioned remedy which, if not an absolute cure, does undoubtedly alleviate in a great degree the suffering. Some freshly scraped horseradish is the nostrum,and it must be held in the hand 'a minute or so until it is a little warm, and then sniffed with energy. This requires courage, for the sensation is as if the pungent odor passed right through the brain; but it seems to drive the pain before it, and the consequent relief makes it worth while to endure a pain fora second. It is not necessary that you should have your Clothes made from the very best material, neither need you have the very latest style, but to look well your clothes must fit. This is our Aim. Not only to make a suit fit proper but in the latest style, We guarantee Every garment that leaves our shop will be a perfect fit. BERT. KNIllT.
