Mr. Thos. G. Atkinson, of Manitou
Man., spent a couple of days in town
the latter part of last week, shaking
hands with old friends: Ile and his
family are visiting with: Mr. Shoebot-
tom in London Township. Mr. At-
kinspn is still G. ,T. R. Ag'ent at
Manitou and at the .same time con-
ducts a good -size farm. Asked about
the crops in Manitoba he says they
will only be average, the heavy rains
in the spring, followed by a hot spell,
having affected them to some extent,
But- he says, generally speaking the
West will give a good account of it -
set this year. Mr. Atkinson was ac-
companied here by Mr. Shoebottom,
bothof whom were pleasant callers
on the Advocate Friday.
Mr,' James, senior editor of the Bow.
nianville Statesman, has rendered thir-
ty-five years service as editor of
that well conducted journal and bids
fair to continue the, good work for
many years to come. We congratu-
late the editor on' his long and suc-
cessful career. Mr. James is not,
however, the longest .serviced editor
in the province onthe one journal
by any means. Mr, M. Y. McLean of
the Seaforth Expositor beats him out
by eight years, and Mr. W. R. Davis,
the venerable editor of tele Mitchel]
Advocate outdoes both of them, he
having swung the editorial pen for
fifty-three years. In fact we haven't
a bad' record ourselves, now being on
the job for nearly twenty-seven years

HICKS AUGUST FORECASTS.—
A reactionary storm period will cen-
ter on and touching: the 22nd and
23rd ,leaving but little intermission
between this and the preceding period
Cloudy and threatening conditions will
continue into this period;' increasing
into more decided and general storms
of rain, thunder and wind on and
about above dates. A regular storm
period will extend from the 25th to
30th, having its center on the 27th
Wo will name the 27th 28th and 'nth
as dates on which disturbances will
culminate, being preceded and follow-
ed be the usual first and last stages
of a regular storm period. Your
barometer should render important
service. .An earthquake period is
central on the 31st, covering the 28
to Sept. 4. Readers will take notice
that there are three eclipses from Au-
gust 31 to September 29—a partial
eclipse of the Sun on August 31,
a total eclipse of tlTe' ,nioon on Sept.
15, and a partial eclipse of the Sun
again on Sept.. 29. This gives us two
eclipses of the sun, in one month, ox
at two successive' new moons, and an
eclipse of the moon atthe full moon.
which intervenes between the two
eclipses of the sun. All these, it must
be remembered, axe . in the , midst of
the autumnal equinox, bringing the
moon on the celestial equator atthe
times of the eclipses. Under this as-
tronomic condition we venture to fore
cast phenomenal earthquakes, volcanic
activity,. tidal waves . and hurricanes,
al: within and near the compass of
the three eclipses.

As explained in a circular sent to

apportioned by the Government for
this purpose has nowt been fixed, so
that as schools generally throughout
the province have qualified for high-
er grants by paying higher salaries
and engaging teachers with better
qualifications, it has become neces-
sary to base the.grants -on a higher
minimum and even after that to make
a pre rata reduction. In consequence

less Phan what were anticipated. The
sums received on salaries and certifi-
ficates in East and West Huron last
year were respectively $7272 40 and

The following, from the Guelph Her
ald, will apply to almost any city or
town in Canada: Parents who permit
their girls to wander around at late
'hours are sadly negligent of their du-
ties, and the inevitable result must
some day be sorrow and tears, ' As a
matter of fact late hours are the curse
of this generation. Even the 'grown-
ups start the evening's pleasure at a
time when' their grandparents were
getting ready to retire. We are burn-
ing the candle both ends, and is it any
wonder that the result is seen in the
crowded°sanitariums and the compart-
ively short lives of the men and wom-
en of to -day? And the example reacts
upon the children. We read of the
white slave traffic and its tretnendous
toll upon the girls of our land. Can.
we wander that this sort of thing is
on the increase when girls scarcely-
entering
carcelyentering their teens run the streets of
a city and town at all sorts of late
hours, sailed to sights and hun,iliat-
ion which are bound to deaden the
sense of purity which should be the
priceless Jewel of womanhood. It is
surely high time parental authority
exerted itself and the youth of Can.
ada was taught that the old saw, "Ear
ly to bed and early to :ride makes a
maiden healthy, wealthy and
is still ;just as true as ever. Nature
is as exacting ad ever in Da tolil, and
Dame Gruudy' is still an inexorable
school master.
