V*� WHY TEACHERS ARE; UNDERPAID. The Education Depatrdeent has been Obliged to refuse the applications of nearly foie' hundred students who wiehed to attend the provincial Nor • - zeal Schools at Toronto and Ottawa this year. There are already enough applications in to fill the Normal Schools for a year to come, even after allowance has been tirade for 100 stnd- tints that can be accommodated at the new London Normal School, which will be opened in January next. Now even if only one-half of these should pass their examinations for profes- enonai certificates, where in the world will they get jobs ? Of course if they pursue the miserable and decidedly unprofessional policy of underbidding those already in possession of situa- tions, there are plenty of school boards who would only he too glad of the chance of getting services on . their •own terms. FAT FRUIT. There is a widespread belief that it is dangerous to eat she summer fruits in hot weather. That is a. greatly mis- taken idea. It is however, the natural result, when so many summer sick- nesses, sometimes fatal, are set down as due to eating fruit. Immoderate eating of fruit, or eating it under wrong conditions will always account for such cases. Fruit that is well ripened, free from decay, and eaten with other food will never harm any- body if eaten moderately. In hot weather it is especially dangerous to overload the stomach with any kind of food. The heated air does not give the body enough energy to digest the food, and its ferments. The prac- tice of taking a few minutes' exercise sufficient to expand the lungs early in the morning is a good one in hot weather. The lungs having been once expanded after their cramping during the nights' rest, the breathing will be deeper through the day, and this will invigorate all the organs of the body.

Parkhill, Aug. 28. -On Monday, the 21 August, Constable Mains, entered the premises of Thomas Welsh, a gro- cer, armed with a warrant authoriz- inghim to search for and seize intoxi- cating liquor unlawfully kept on the premises. He found in a back shed a barrel of whiskey and another of bran- dy, valued at $200, also a quantity of empty bottles, and in the cellar a num- ber of cases of ale. The seizure of the liquor was immediately followed by a prosecution for keeping liquor for sale without a license which yesterdaycanie before Police Magistrate MacTavish. Constable Maines related the finding of the liquor, whereupon Mr. McKil- lop, who appeared for the inspector, asked for ' conviction, Mr. Haverson, counsel for the License -Holders' Asso- ciation objected that the presence of liquor in any quantity was110 evidence of keeping for sale. On the magistrate so ruling , a new charge was laid for. selling on the same evidence. Welsh then entered the box and testified that the barrels were simply stored by him for Martin Breen, a licensedfshop-keep- er, •who carried on business next door,. that the liq nor found in the cellar had been placed . there more than a year before by Breen, and had been frozen duufng the winter and allowed to re- main in the cellae as useless. This case was then dismissed aswell as the charge for kec uig for sale.Martin Breen , the shop -keeper, was next tried for selling in less quantities than al- lowedlicense. On the„ evi- denceby his of; a customer, John- Morrison, he was convicted, and. a fine imposed; of $25 and costs. At the close of these trials the lig nor was returned to Breen.

Experience with smutty grain has invariably proven a serious thing with the farmer who grows it, the dealer who handles it, and the miller who makes it into Amer. We would therefore urge upon all far- mers sowing wheat this fall the im- portance of treating their seed by one or other of the simple methods which, have been found successful by the ex- perimental farm, Another matter that was also dis- cussed was the best way of getting rid of the pea bug, which is doing a e •i The deal of _ n, a to a •0 z lila greatnly action taken in this wast the pas- sing of the following resolution :- "Titat all experience has shown that the only way to exteruzinate the pea b nee ,• las, is to tliaeoutilthlt growingpea:, for two years..

They then rushed to the windows, threw them open and screamed despair- ingly for help.
