It is better for house plants if the
soil be loosened about the roots once a
week.. This allows the air to reach

perature of the room when using it up-
on. plants.

iron flew of, striking him a severe blow
on the nose and just a little above the
eye. Had the piece struck half an
inch lower down, doubtless the eye
would have been destroyed.

Merchants and others should now
place their orders with this office for
their printing. We turn out no
blotchy work. Your letter -heads, bill
heads, envelopes, etc , -should be of a
neat character. People quite frequent-
ly judge the business methods of a
house by the stationary which it uses.
If your stationary looks shoddy and
conveys the appearance that a rubber
scamp was used, the person who receiv-
es it is very' likely to think that it
comes from a one-horse concern. The
ADVOCATE job department is replete
with the latest styles of type, etc., and
we use the best inks, Call and see

Every indication points to the larg-
est attendance Toronto has ever had as
their great Industural Fair this year.
The added features are enormous and
of such varied style that few people will
stay away who can afford to go. In
addition to the fac simile of the Queen's
Jubilee procession, one of the side feat-
ures, the Hanlon Brothers have been.
induced to bring their great Spectacul-
ar " Superba " to Toronto, and the stage
of the Princess Theatre has been en-
larged to admit of its vast proportions.
This great spectacular pantomime will
be put on in most gorgeous details.
Hundreds of dramatic artists, yaude-
ville performances, acrobats, tumblers
and athletes of all description, grand
ballets, beautiful transformations, elec •
trice' effects, illusions and trick per-
formances of all kinds, are interspersed
throughout the performance, and an
expenditure of thousands of dollars
daily is necessary to give the perform-
ance in its entirety. It is the only
thing in the way of English pantomime
attempted on this side of the water.
The Hanlon Brothers are English pan-
tomimists of great celebrity, having
done this sort of thing in England and
France for many years before they vis-
ited this country. In its way it is as
great an attraction as the Fair itself
Death of Debt. Pickard.
Word was received here Wednesday
morning of the death of Robert Pickard,
a former resident of Exeter, who died
in London Tuesday eveningahout 6:30.
The deceased was a victim of consump-
tion and from the time the dread dis-
ease manifest its first symptoms which
was just a few months ago, he gradu-
ally sank until death relieved him of
his sufferings. Be was a son of Mr.
James Pickard of this place, and has
been residing in London for the past
five or six years. His remains will be
interred at London to -day Thursday.
They Alivays Want More.
The Underwriters' Association has
written to the town clerk asking that
an automatic fire alarm be put in, and
a man be required to sleep in the fire
hall. These were part of their original
requirements, and it was clearly under
stood by the council that they would
waive them in lieu of certain other im-
provements to the fire appliances. The
clerk has written them to this effect,
and also stating that the council believ-
es it has gone fully as far as public
sentiment will warrant it in going .in
complying with their demands, and if
they break faith with us no other
course will be open but for the town to
repudiate the whole thing. In the
mentime the Ronald works, which is
filling an order for ladders, etc., has
been asked to hold the order until the
matter is disposed of.—Clinton New Era.
Lacrosse Match.
The lacrosse match which was pro
mised to surpass ail previous games of
the season in point of interest, on Fri-
day afternoon last, was all that was
expected. A large number of spectators
were in attendance and the game was
indeed watched with momentary in-
terest from start to finish, and although
Seaforth succeeded in piling up a big
score it wasa splendid exhibition of the
game, From the personnel of the two
teams it was aforegone conclusion that
Seaforth had decidedly the best of it,
but the Lornes fought manfully and
deserve a heap of credit. At the end of
the game Seaforth had scored six goals
to Exeter's oue.
THE " AT HOME" AND CONCERT.
The " At Home " and concert under
the auspices of the Lacrosse Club and
Band in the evening was in every par-
ticular decided success,demonstrat-
inga�
ing the sympathy and interest the
people of Exeter entertain for both
organizations in their liberal patronage,
A lengthy program consisting of vocal
and instremental music, was carried
out and all seemed to be well pleased
with the evening's entertainment. The
singing by Messrs. Daly and Willis, of
Seaforth, was highly appreciated and
brought forth well deserved applause.
The singing by Miss Johns and Miss
Hardy was well received and enjoyed
by the- audience. The Misses Hicks
and Miss Martin added much to the
pleasure of the evening by their musical
selections: and the singing by Mr. -Jos:
Senior brought forth the merited ap-
plause of all present. The song ren-
dered by the members of the Lacrosse
Club tools splendidly and was loudly
applauded. Ice cream, lemonade can-
dies etc., etc., were served and on , the

The Brandon (Man.) Sun is author-
ity for saying that the Harvest ex-
cursions have been greatly overdone;
that 2,000 or 2,500 men at the outside
would have been sufficient to supply
the demand and instead of this number
6,000 have gone out there seeking
work. It further adds:—" These men
say that they were told that Manitoba
had been drained by the demand for
the Crow's Nest Pass and that 5,000
men would be able to get employment
at from $35 to $40 per month in taking
off crops here. In a few days most of
them will be out of the city and people
may think the trouble is over but
if looked into it will be found that
many of them are working for stars.
