New York now claims eight and a'
half million neople: if this is the ease
it is the largest city in, the world, Lon-
don's claim beLeg seven and a half,.
"How 0 you tell the date of Eas-
ter r"
as-ter:" is asked, Generally,:te' be can-
itis( by looking at the calendar. An-
other way is to remember that Eas-
ter is the first Smithy after the'£ull
moon which ,happens upon or next; of -1
ter the 21st sof March, and if the f41.
moon happens on a S.unday, Easter day
is the Sunday after. This year (;aster
Sunday falls en April. 4th,
In, renewing his subscription to The
Advsnate for this year, Mr. G. G. Gib-
son of St. Louis, Zs4o:, formerly a rest-
dent of 'Osborne on the Thames Road,
says :—"I wish to thank ,you for your
sleekly letter, which has given mes
much pleasure for so massy years in
rea,sli S the :,pews about the dear
people aronuxl Exeter, and Francis -
town, as it usled to bel celled, and

Sam's domains
The American, Chamber of Com-
merce of ;London, Eng. says:. "The
collapse of the pound sterling in New
York is no index ,to Great Briltain,'s
financial strength or weakness. Lon-
don to -dal=, as before the w.ar,in. the
monetary centre of Europe.. With in-
adequate assistance from American
credit in Europe, Great Britain. is
forced to supply the credit needs of
the coral -neat, as well as those, of her
awls. traders. Great Brits& is neither
bankrupt nor anywhere near it, al-
though her external debt is larger
than ever before iar..her history., This
debt was incurred snakily to supply the
needs of her continental allies, and she
is owed approximately twice as much
as she owes America. While the Un -
IMI. States may fairly expect to col-
lect all her British debt, Great Brit-
ain is preparing to write off 10 per
cent. of her co,atinenftel debt."
It is thus seenthat although Br itain
expects to pay to the last cent, site.
only expects to collect fifty per cent,.

poorer coumutriesa Good old lit ;t«tin—
