SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS,
----"Han the National Policy made
you rich?" was the slogan that adorn-
ed the editorial page of the Globe and
other lesser lights until the type act-
ually wore out. Shouldn't wonder to
see the Tories retaliate with --"Ras
Reciprocity bulged your pocket -book
to the bursting point?"

-The Ontario Legislature was pro-
rogned on Wednesday last, after a
session of eight weeks. There is one
thing about the Lrgisiature,•and that
is, the members sects more concerned
to do the business of the session, and
go home, than do the members of the
Federal Parliament. Possibly the
issues being provincial and not federal,
they require less lengthy discussion
than the latter, But one point is-
the work is ready, the members do it,
collect their pay and go home. We
are not sure, but the Federal House
might do less talking, more work, and
have shorter sessions, without the
country suffering materially,
««
-The supporters of reciprocity tell
us that the farmer will get very much
higher prices for his produce. If so,
that means increased cost of living to
the consumer. Then they console us
with the pleasing information --that
we shall all be better off than we are
now. We have been laboring under
the impression that the cost of living
at present is about as high as the
ordinary mechanic or working -man
can afford to pay. How they are go-
ing to pay more, and yet be better
off, has not yet been explained -that
is to the satisfaction of many. Looks
like a, case of theory versus facts, and
facts are stubborn things - indeed
quite`as stubborn as some people who
deal in theories,
-•A number of changes have been
made in the Public and. High School
Act. Among them are the follow-
ing :-The vacations in rural schools
are to be of the same length as those
in towns and cities, and the fall term
in town and country will commence
September 1st. The Minister of Edu-
cation is authorized to establish "an
examination for entrance to the
Middle School," to be called the
"Senior High School Entrance,"
while the present one will be called
the "junior." The following resolu-
tion was passed :--"The Eoglish
language shall be the language of
instruction and of all communication
with the pupils in the Public and
Separate schools of the province, ex-
cept where, in the opinion of the
Department of Education, it is
impracticable by reason of the pupils
not understanding English."

cally new face, The man's name is
Martin, and he is 43 years of age.
About a year ago, he fell into some
machinery face foremost
and a it is
said that only his eyeballs escaped
mutilation, and he was left unable to
eat or speak. The surgeons went to
work to make him a new face. By
means of plastic surgery they kneaded
and moulded the flesh as it healed in-
to a chin, and finally succeeded in giv-
ing Martin a mouth and lips so that
he can now talk and eat. To make
him anew nose, they took off one of
his little fingers, and the nose being
made, Martin is now finished and fit
to be seen. The new made face is not
of course as handsome as the one he
wore before the terrible accident, but
he is glad to have a face at all.

--Pre-election calculations .are fre-
quently disappointing, and often
altogether ttnretiable. At each of the
lasto Dominion e s
tw om Ion lection , we caw'
forecasts that placed the Opposition
in power with a good working
majority. But there was a hitch in
the calculations somewhere, and the
Liberals rode triumphantly into
power, knocking the columns of
delusive figures of a Tory majority
into printer's "pi." But now we
have another election forecast, and
from Sir Wilfrid Laurier himself
who predicts that when the next
election comes, he will "sweep the
country." Perhaps he will; but just
note he does not appear overburdened
with anxiety to begin the sweeping
process. The editor of this paper dose

OUR TOWN PARC.
Editor Wingham Advance,
Dear Sit.' :-As our summer is com-
ing fast upon us permit me to draw
your attention to the condition of our
Town. Park. Indeed it is a libel to
call it a park, Just have a look at
the seats, which we aro expected to
sit on, We have an excellent town
band, which goes to a great deal of
expense and trouble to furnish music
during the, summer evenings. I think
it little enough' that the citizen,
who wish to bear the music, should
be provided with a decent seat with a
back to it. Just watch the crowd
some concert night and see them shift
from one foot to the other for a rest.
The majority of our people get enough
exercise from 7 a.m. to 0 p.m. without
standing on their feet the rest of the
night. The result is they prefer sit
ting at home ; even those who do go
to the park cannot enjoy themselves
as they otherwise would, if there
were comfortable seats. While we
are trying to boost the town to out-
siders, let us not forget that those
who are always with as deserve some
consideration.
Weary Willie,
Perm Sold.
Mr. H. Wheeler has sold his farm at
the Junction, to J. T. Lennox of
Wingham. It consists of forty acres
with fine buildings, and is considered
a good farm. The consideration was
$4,000. Eighty dollars an acre is a
fair price for Huron county land. Mr.
Lennox had some thought of going
West, but has decided that Ontario is
good enough for him. Mr. and Mrs.
Wheeler are likely to remove to
Wingham.
.Electricity. And Coal.
C. W. Price, editor of the Electric
Review in speaking in New Yotk
recently, said :-"I dare make this
prediction, based on knowledge of
important experiments, that the day
is not far distant when the coal pile in
the cellar will be replaced by the elec-
trical reservoir of box -like shape and
of moderate size, to furnish heat
throughout the building and also to
the kitchen in the restaurants for
cooking. And this will be done econo-
mically compared with coal, as this
accumulated electric will be stored at
low cost and can be on tap for use
when needed. Then will the coal
wagon in front of the house disappear,
the furnace caretaker lose his voca-
tion and also the ashman become a
reminiscence," •
Lost Eldest Child.
Sad indeed is the bereavement that
has come to the home of Mt. and Mrs.
W. J„ Henderson of the Junction, by
the death of their eldest child, Norman
Arthur. He was a bright boy, and
bid fair soon to be a help and comfort
to his parents, when death claimed
him unexpectedly. Last Wednesday,
the little boy was at school 119 happy,
joyous and playful as any. He tool;
i11, was taken to the hosph al and the
trouble diagnosed as a loop in the
bowels. An operation was performed
on Saturday, and on Sunday he died.
Norman was in his tenth year, and
his sudden demise has left his parents
grief stricken and disconsolate. Of
sympathy they have unmistakable
evidences, but human sympathy fails'
to heal the wound so suddenly in-
flicted by an unexpected visit of death
to the home.

snow in northern extremes. Rising
barometer, fair weather and frosty
nights will visit most parts of the
country between the 2nd and 5th.
During the Oth to 8th, storms of rain,
wind and thunder will make their
transit from west to east, touching
most parts of the country. Fair wea-
ther and cool nights, with possible
frosts northward, will follow these
storms. Low barometer and very
high temperature on and touching the
tlth and 12th will bring severe thun-
der rain and hail to many sections.
On and touching 18th, 19h, 20th,
expect .April storms and squalls,
attended by hail. The entire month
of April seems exceptionally free from
great ttnd general disturbances, but
the storm periods Will bring normal

common to this season of the year,

there is a combination of astronomical

Mixed with earnestness, be blent ;

With a lot of honest toil.

to a bumper crop, owing to an ex-

voters' list used at the last municipal
election was "stuffed," has been
investigated by Judge Klein . of
Walkerton, who handed out his re-

out errors in the list, but exonerates
Reeve McCallum from part in any
wrongdoing.
Who Can Beat This.

one farmer's stock put in a profitable
night :-During one night this week
there was born on the farm of John
M. Fischer, one colt and one calf, and

Last Sunday was review day in the

gave a practical address on "Help".
In the auditorium, Mr. Morton had

In the twenty-first verse of the
seventh chapter of Ezra can be found
every letter of the English alphabet
except the letter j. It runs thus :--
"And 1, even I, Artaxerxes, the King,
do make a decree toi
e all the treasurers
which are beyond the river, that
whatsoever Ezra, the priest the scribe
of the law of the God of heaven, shall
require of you, it be done speedily."
No other verse contains so many of
the letters. But, still more wonderful,
in the eighth verse of the third chap-
ter of Zephaniah is contained every
letter, including finals of the Hebrew
language.
