A Reactionary Storni Period is cen-
tral .iii the 3rd, 4th and 3th. The
storm diagram for April shows that
tbe v.•rn.tl e.l tinox rlllnq up to about
tbe 10.11, hems all the storm periods
up to th.t date will be more or less af-
fected Merely. The Moon being on
the celestial . gnator on the 1st, higher
temperature, with tendency to electri-
cd -. 'i lo'•, will be natural on and
tou.•h1'tg that date, hence April tains
ni ay r nitinwe through the reactionary
diet u. •ianee, on the and, 4th and 5th.
Decided change to cooler, with snow
ego.11-, followed by frosty nights,may
be expected in most sections over cen-
tral and northern states, from about
the 4th to 7th. A regular storm per-
iod, being ventral on the 0th, extends
from the 7th to the 11th. Change to
warmer, southerly winds and falling
laronieter will be noted in western
sections by the 7th to 8th, and during
9th, inch and lith storm areas will
spread eastwardly, bringing April
showers and thunder storms to most,
parts of the country on and touching
those dates. Late snow squalls will
most likely come with the last stages
of the period, 7th to lith, and sharp
change to (ouser, with frosts. may be
expected about the 11th, 12th and 13th.

The spring millinery openings have
been attracting the ladies during the
past two weeks, and the numerous
bats on exhibition in the different
establishments show such a variety of
ideas in shapes and trimmings that
the feminine fancy in headwear should
be well satisfied, although hesitation
in selecting might well be indulged in.
This year millinery is distinguished
by unusual height -and size, although
the medium and smaller sizes are in
evidence. High crowns, soft brims of
fine straws, with sweeping lines of
plumage, are pretty effects, contrast-
ing noticeably with the small shapes
resembling walking hats with a high
rolling side. Ostrich plumage is fa-
vored, but only on the larger shapes.
Big, heavy roses, in many colorings.
are strong features. Flowers of all
kinds are greatly favored, and . are
wreathed or banked in high' effect.
Some hats are decked with nearly ev-
ery artificial flower of the season,
while no less than eight different
shades of roses are seen on the one
shape. Embroidered bands of varied
stitches in silks of beautiful colorings
are prominent, while a touch of gold
is found on nearly every hat in large -
head pins, braidings or laces. _

organist and choir leader in one of the

It appears to be reasonably certain
now that 50 per cent. of each battalion

fare alike. The other 50 per cent. will
receive no training this year. The
men will be selected by their own offi-
cers, hut no raw recruit will be entit-
led to be selected. All must have had
some training. They will go into re-
gular camp at Quebec and take part in
the ter -centenary celebration.

There is a misunderstanding of the
new public school act among rural
school trustees, in so far as applies to
the teacher's salary. In rural schools
any advance over $300 up to $600 the
government will pay 40 per cent. The
section that engages a teacher at $400
really pays only >; or $150, $300.
There is also a straight grant of $15.00
to every section independent of salary,
and a small grant on equipment, This
does not apply to incorporated villages
or towns.

There being 510 persons entitled to
vote on the By-laws in Exeter on Ap-
ril 10th, and one-flfth of 510 being 102,
it therefore becomes necessary that, in
case less than 1(12 vote against the by-
law, three -fifth of air►, which is :300,
votes recorded for the passing of the
bylaws early theni. If however tnore
than one-fifth or 102 votes are marked
against the by-laws, they must then
have two-thirds of the total vote or
Sar) votes in favor of the by-laws to
carry there. All good townsmen will
then note that it is very necessary in
order to have the by-laws passed that
every available vote be recorded. as a
person not Toting may 1* considered
to have voted against the by-laws.
See that every vote is out.
Rev. Going Sunday evening preach-
ed an able sermon on Systematic givin
from the text: "The liberal soul that
waterith shall he watered also himself."
A few points' brought out were: if we
believe (hod and the bible we must be-
lieve in giving. The Je. isb dispensa-
tion demanded giving. The New
Testament says: "Freely ye have re-
ceived freely give." The Saviour gave.
fader apostolic authority all their
possessions were consecrated. Giving
should he systematic as no work is
effective without system. it is not
good to give as yon feel or according
to the sermon. As to the proportion
one should give he quoted the facts
that the Jews gave one-tenth, Jamb
gave one-tenth, Christ sanctioned the
one-tenth, and he believed God's bles-
sing would rest on the man who Pave
largely. 1t is not wrong to expect a
tetnrn for giving if one uses his money
in legitimate work.

Little Dorothy Mallett met with a
very painful accident nn Saturday.
Her grandfather, Mr. John Mallett bad
