An editor is a millionaire without
money, a politician without a job, a
king without a throne. £ie constructs
without a hammer or saw, builds rail-
roads without rails or spikes and farms
without a plow. He runs a butcher
shop in the journalistic world and
deals out brains for cash or credit. He
is a teacher, a lawyer and a preacher,
he sends out truth to save souls and
gets lost himself. Abuse, that's what
he has dished up before him.
On Monday night thieves visited the
clothes lines at the home of Messrs.
Jas. and Ed. Dignan on William street
and stole several articles of ladies'
clothing from off the line. A few
nights before thieves also visited the
cellars of Messrs. Dignan and of Mr.
Sidney Sanders and took several seal-
ers of fruit from each place. Every
person should keep a sharp lookout
for this class of sticky-fingered gents,
and when caught give them a little
more than the law allows.
Mr. Win. Penhale, who lives one -
halt mile west of town, had the frame-
work of his new barn raised on Thurs-
day of last week. The raising went

injured by having it squeezed between
two pieces of timber. It will be re-
membered that fire destroyed his large
and commodious barn last fall while
the men were engaged threshing his
grain. The new structure has been
erected on the old foundation, and. is,
if anything, somewhat larger than the
other was.
Many of our readers this week will

any subject,and on infectious and con-
tagious diseases swept the paper, ob-
taining 100%. The honor mark was
'75%, first class honors 80%. During
Miss Gill's terra at the Hospital she
has met with great success, and we
trust that during the coming year she
may be still mote successful.

Wormeu's Institute Notes.
The regular meeting of the'Women's
Institute was held in the Town Hall
on Friday afternoon, June 10th. A
very interesting paper was read by
Mrs. Sanders on "Dust and its Dan-
gers", after which members
g , wh two of the memo rs
gave short talks on Salads and Jellies.
This being the annual sheeting election
of officers took place. All the old
officers were re-elected, and several
new members were added. This
branch of the Institute has now a
membership of over fifty.
The Midsummer Styles
The decided change in dress, due to
the "1830" revival, is gradually mov-
ing onward through the picturesque
and semi -severe. Directoire phase,
marked by broad collars, bretelles,
waistcoats and gauntlets, into, the co-
quettish femininity of the Second Em-
pire. The preference for gowns of
net, silk, chiffon and silky voile is be-
coming more evident. Quantities of
lace and frillings are used in trimming
them. Very pretty Summer gowns
show a round or V necked waist over
a lace tucker, with undersleeves to
match. In some of the newest sleeves
the droop at the elbow is gone, and
the greatest fulness appears just below
the shoulder; thence ib tapers down-
ward into the frills that fall from the
elbow, or into amousquetaire, wrink-
led and closely fitted. Many of the
sleeves are elbow length and call for
long gloves. The newest shoulder
wrap is shaped like a bertha or a low-
necked mantilla in the back, and has
long stole ends that fall gracefully
over the arm almost to the floor. Pet-
ticoats of silk and lingerie are flounced
and frilled to an enormous degree in
order to support the fulness of the
modish skirt. .A clever idea is the use
of adjustable flounces which button in-
to place upon a washable petticoat
that fits the hips like a sheath.—From

drowned. A number of people were
