Parker S. Company, Toronto, to be dyed. They were fastened in a parcel, and a tag, denoting the color the different pieces were to be dyed, was attached to seg eral pieces. The post -office authorities claimed this was a breach of the law. The minimum fine is $10 and costs, and this the magistrate inflicted, at the same time asking the inspector to re port the circumstance to the Poet -Office Department at Ottawa. An exchange gets off the following as gospel truth: "A married woman in this neighborhood had a surprise party on her birthday anniversary a short time ago, when her husband pre- sented her with a beautiful piano lamp. He was much flattered when she told him she intended to give it his name, until he asked her reason for such a pecular proceeding. "Well" she said, "you know, dear, it has a good deal of brass about it, it is handsome to look at requires a good deal of attention, it is not remarkably brilliant, is sometimes unsteady on its legs, liable to explode when half full, flares up occasionally. and is always out at bedtime and is bound to smoke. Scarcely a day passes in the office of a newspaper without a visit from some one who has fault to find with someboby or something. He wants the editor to attend to the matter for him. " Why don't you score 'em," he says. ".They are not doing their duty." Then he goes into details, talking about this and that being an outrage on the tax payer, etc. When the editor tells him he will publish his colnplaint, provided he signs it, he says, " 0, no, I don't want to put by name on it --don't want to get into 'trouble with these people, don't you see, can't you put it in the shape of an editorial," He does not care what trouble the editor may get into by publishing his grievance. Tho following is given as the way to tell a good orange: Big oranges are not good. They are all skin and fibre. If you want "a yellow cup of wine" buy small fruit; that is, fruit that runs 175 or 200 to the box. Weigh it in the hand and take the heaviest, Sweet, sound oranges are full of wine and sugar and very heavy. A thin smooth skin is a good sign. Wide, deep pored skins aro unmistakable signs of a coarse, spongy article Bright yellow Oranges usually cost more than russet, because they aro prettier. When the .commission merchant buys in a hurry, he Saves time by seizing an orange be- tween itis hands and squeezing it to death. If it runs a cup of wine he takes as tench of the cargo as he needs; If it runs dry he Celts the price or'refus- es to trade. There IS no surer way to tell the real value of an orange, man• aerie or grape frust. tiff M aj s ty l s• Birthday..' Te c1 r � I CO�u �10np► it How it was Celebrated it. Exeter. Two Big Days Among the 52 Pedagogues —Many Questions of Importance Discussed.—The Affair winds up With a Good Concert, 'Xrades and Calithunslrlaal Jr0eession —A Eaeenly Contested Lacrosse Hatch—:Moore Interesting' }'eats by the -Valuable, 62orseri Present. Thursday last, the anniversary of the Queen's Birthday, ' was fittingly celebrated in Exeter. A more pleasant day could not be desired. Although in many places throughout Ontario it rain- ed continually all day, the atmosphere here was in a state of perfect quiet, save for the gentle breezes that sprang up now and thele, just strong enough. to put the Union Jacks, which floated gaily from the public buildings, and adoined the front of many private dwellings, into a state of gentle undu- lation. With such weather it was al most impossible 10 remain indoors, and consequently everyone in town and country with an hour of leisure betook himself to the scene of active competi- tion. The events of the day opened at about 1030 with a Trades and Cali thumpian procession, lead by the Ex- eter Brass Band. The trades proces- sion was not so well filled as it might have been, only six displays being made, while the calithumpian turnout was exceedingly good, and caused much merriment for both young and old. Result as follows:— TRADES PROCESSION, PURSE $20. A. Q. Bobier, 1st; T. Dearing 2nd, CALITI3UMPIAN, PURSE $20. Upper Ten, 1st; Coxey's Army, 2nd; Indians, 3rd, and Electric Street Car, 4th. At about 12.30 the lacrosse match started between Cliiiton and Mitchell,. and to the lovers of that game the con• test was islteresting, and some good playing was done by both teams. The match resulted in a victory for Mitchell —2 goals to 1—and thus won the sil- ver cup At about 1.30 the principal event of the day's sport commenced, opening with a 8.00 trot, and to counteract the desideratum of preparation, for this was the first speed trial of the, season for all the contestants, there was a fast track and typical rac:ng weather. Un- der these conditions the races through• out proved a most interesting • event.: - The race was for $200, and resalted thus:— Lord Tennyson, L. Kennedy, Clinton x r r Erie Girl, Ed.

Tho 2,80 trot went to Saranac in three, straight heats. There were three entries in this race, but Mell 0, owned by Mr. J. Hawkshaw, acting very ugly in the first heat, was Raged, thus leav- ing Saranac and John Nelson to finish. Summary :- 2.30 TROT, PuRsn $200. Saranac, Dulmage & Son, Wingham I x I John Nelson, J. N, Perdue, Blyth 2 2 2 Time : 2.80; 2,34; 2 42. The free-for-all was without a doubt the best race of the day. From start to finish each heat was very close and the cleyer performances of the two horses was followed with momentary enthusiasm. During the first heat it was feared that an obstacle bad fallen in the way of Elsie Goff, by one of the tires working off one of the wheels of her sulky, but it apparently made no difference and she won the heat. 'Sum- mary:— FREE-FOR-ALL, PURSE $300. Elsie Golf, H. chane, London 112 I Florence G, Jas. O'Leary, Brussels 2 2 2 2 Tittle: 2.30: 2.261; 2.31i; 2.80. Between the second and third heats of the free-for-all the stallion, Four Lines owned by J. W. Hey, Ailsa Craig, was driyen an exhibition half mile in 1.14 by D. A. McEwen This was a remarkable performance for a horse in the middle of a service season and without any preparation, being the first time hitched to a sulky this year. Mr; Geo Henderson of Clinton, of- ficiated as starter and gave decided satisfaction to both horse owners and spectators, and deserves great praise. Messrs. I. Rattenberry, of Clinton, and Mr. H. Silber, of Crediton, acted as judges and Mr, John Beacom handled the flag. The Exeter Brass Band did excel• lent service in enlivening the proceed- ing's, interspersing at proper times choice and much appreciated music. The day's proceedings throughout was a grand success, both financially and otherwise. The entertainment in the evening was not 50 good as wag expected. ars At Courtright a eightlof hand fakir was amusing a crowd by professing to abstract money from the bystanders' pockets. Among the crowd was a big and belligerent Indian named Torn Nichols. Reaching towards Tom's pockets the fakir showed a fifty cent piece, which he claimed to have taken from the warrior's pocket. Fully be- lieving him, Tom, with a Choctaw yell, made for the fakir, who took to his heels, but was eventually captured in a store. It was not until the fakir had given him a real half dollar that Tom's anger subsided. The sleight-of-hand man has permanently gone out of the business of extracting money from red m en's peck ets, The West Huron Teachers' Associa- tion met le the Public School, Exeter May 25th, 1894, pursuant to the call. of the Executive. President J. T. Wren, of Hensall oc- cupied the chair. , Mr. H. I. Strang, B. A., conducted devotional exercises. The minutes of the Last session at Goderich were read and adopted. The following were appointed Resolu- tion Committee, viz:—Messsrs. Strang T. A Brown, G. M. Bitty, Misses Blair and McMath. • Inspector Tom moved, seconded by T. A. Brown that a time be set apart during the sessions sf this meeting of the Institute for the consideration and discussion ,,of questions by teachers and that a committee be appointed to ansWer questions deposited with the Secretary. The motion was adopted. Oto motion of Inspector Tom second- ed by S. J. Latta, Messrs. G. Baird, T. A. Me.Laughlin and Miss Gregory were named a committee to carry out ,the foregoing resolution. Mr. G. M. Kilts then proceeded to diseuss his method of teaching "Deci mals" and by blackboard illustrations made this subject very interesting and instr°Iaiive. Messrs. Latta, Tom, Strang, Hogarth Johnston Baird and Wren further con- firmed the discussion. All complimented Mr. Kilty on the manner in which he dealt with the sub. feett, Tie roll was then called and 52 toacoes answered to their names. O1i motion of G. W. Holman second- ed by S. J. Latta that the subjects on the program, the persons responsible for which were not present, be placed don in the order of business. The motion was carried. At this stage of the proceedings a deputation from the Exeter Public School Board, consisting of Messrs. Hus ton,Fitton, Carling and Frayne entered the room. Messrs. Huston and Fitton on behalf of the Board weicomed the teachers to Eit'ete , and in the course of their re- marks -threw out some very practical suggestions tending to the better work- ing of our school system. The welcome was responded to on behalf of the Association by Messrs. Wren, Tom, Strang, Baird and Holman ail thanking the Board for their sym- pathy it, the teachers work and the hearty welcome extended. The time for adjournment haying arrived, on motion the Association ad- journed till 1.80 p. m. was given in Drew's Opera House. Revds. Hunt, Jackson, Martin and Dr. Rollins delivered addresses. A splen- did musical program was carried out by the Davidson orchestra and Mrs. Hunt, Misses Davidson and Gill and Messrs Collins and Brown all of whom acquitted themselves creditably and elicited enthusiastic applause. The proeeedings were terminated by sing ing God save the Queen, Exeter, May 26th, 1894. The Association met at 9.10 a, m. Mr. Wren in the chair. Itspector Tom conducted devotional exercises. The minutes of the previous days' sessions were read and approved. On motion of Inspector Tom, second- ed by W. • H. Johnston, the hearty thanks of the Association were tender- ed to all those who had taken part in ' the entertainment of the previous even- ing. Mr. J. T. Wren then gave a report of the proceedings of the recent 0. P. T. A. Mr. Wren's report was well reeeiy- ed and on motion of G. W. Holman seconded by T. A. Brown it was adopt- ' ed and the expenses of the delegate or- dered to be paid. Miss H E. Walrond of the Exeter Public School then took up "Word Re- cognition." A small class was present which made the lesson very interesting and instructive. At the conclusion of this work Miss Walrond with another class exemplified her method of teaching addition and subtraction. This class as the former was well con- ducted and both lessons reflected cred- it on teacher and classes. The discussion was continued by Messrs. McPherson, Ingram, Ross and Tom. "Observation and busy work multi plication and division" was then taken up by Miss Watson of Goderich. A small class was also present by means of which Miss Watson illustrated her method practically. Miss Watson showed by manner in which she dealt with the subject, that she was thor- oughly alive to her work. The discussion wasifurther continued by Inspector Tom. Mr, H. I. Strang B. A., discussed at some length the value of analysis and parsing impressing upon all the im• nortance of vigilance in preventing careless habits in this work. The teachers of West Huron owe very much to Mr. Strang for the time he has at these different meetings :devoted to giving instructions in this branch of education. Tho printed extract on the program was gone into fully by Mr Strang and much valuable information on analys- is and parsing gleaned by the teachers from Mr. Strang's dealings with it. Tho time for adjournment having arrived the Association adjourned. AFTERNOON SESSION. The Association met as per adjourn- ment. Mr. G. Baird proceeded with the dis- cussion of his method of teaching ele- mentary algebra for Public School Leaving Examination work. Miss 0. Vosper of the Exeter Public School then took up the literature of "Resignation." A class of girls from the Public School was present and lent interest to the lesson. The lesson proved interesting and both teacher and pupils showed that they had a pretty thorough grasp of the meaning of text of the poem which is considered one of Longfellow's gems. Inspector Tom took up the , lesson with the same class and asked several questions which were readily answered by the class. The following teachers took part in the discussion. Messrs. Delgaty, T. A. Brown, Holman, Strang, Regan, Wren and McPherson. The teaching and subsequent dis- cussion of this subject proved very in- structive. Mr. T. A. Brown then discussed "Phy. siology for Entrance". Mr. Brown ex- plained fully and plainly the reasons for teaching this important branch of study and gave valuable hints for teaching it. Messrs Holman, McLaughlin, Tom and Johnston further discussed the subject. The idea of teaching the sub- ject because of its practical value and teaching it thoroughly was fully im. pressed. "Time Tables in ungraded schools" was the next matter coming before the Association and was introduced by Mr. J. S. Delgaty, Mr Delgaty was opposed to Time Tables on account of their instability or being continually subject to change. The discussion was carried on by Messrs Wren, Regan, Strang, Tom, Holman, Johnston, Misses Blair and Morrison. The general opinion pre- vailing that there should bo a time table and that each teacher should ad- here to it as nearly as possible consist ent with good el%ctiyc teaching. Mr. Geo. Baird offered to hand over to this association the sum of $3 being balance left in his hands by the Varna Teacher's Institute at its dissolution. On motion of Mr, Strang seconded by Inspector Tom the oilier of Mr. Baird was accepted and the the thanks of the Association returned to Mr. Baird. On motion the Association adjourned to meet at 9 o'clock a. in, AFTERNOON SESSION. The Association rnet as 1.30 p. m. Mr. H. I. Strang continued the dis- cussion of analysis and parsing, deal ing chiefly with the former. Many different points were cleared up and the teachers felt that they were well repaid for coming back to this session. The Resolution Committee's report was then presented, which after dis- cussion of the same clause by clause, was adopted as follows. I That it is the opinion of the As sociatiou that the Entrance Examina- tion should remain as it is at present, and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Educational Department. II That the Executive Committee of this Assoziation be requested to al low in future a reasonable portion of time at each meeting for the discussion of general subjects not specified on the program. III That we as an Association deep- ly regret the unpleasant occurrence that disturbed the harmony of the proceedings at last evening's entertain. ment, but at the same time to prevent any misunderstanding of our views, we declare that the teachers of the In- spectorate of West Huron have no sym pathy with any opinions or dogmas op- posed to the teachings of the Bible. IV That it would bo a benefit to the teachers of this Inspectorate if P,ro• motion Examination papers were pre- pared for pupils wishing to pass from the Junior III and Junior IV classes as well as for those wishing to pass from the senior classes of these books. On motion of T. A. Brown seconded by Inspector Tom, it was decided to ap point a committee to receive questions from teachers, and answer same at the next meeting of the Association. Teachers having question to ask send the same to the chairman or some member of the Committee a reasonable time before the Association meets and the answers will be given as per aboye resolution, The committee appointed to carry out the aboye is Messrs. T. A. Brown, Exeter, W. H. Johnston, Hay, H. I, Strang, B.A., Goderich, On motion of Mr. Strang seconded by Mr. Ross the thanks of the Associa- tion were tendered to the Exeter Pub- lic School Board for their generosity in allowing the use of the school building for Association meeting. Besides the members of the School Board mentioned above the following were yisitors during the sessions of the Institute,—Revs, W. McDonagh and J. A, Snell, Messrs T. 13, Carling, John Grigg and Samuel Sample an old member of the Association at present caching in Perth county, and several adieL EVENING. t In the evening ati entertainment 1 NO 342 On the whole a fairly succesrxfu'l meeting was held. A pleasing feature of it was the interest taken by the lady teachers, three of whom (misses Vosper, Walrond and Watson) had places on the program and won muck praise for the manner in which they acquitted themselves, All of which is respectfully submit- ted' GEO.
