Probably few farms in the County of Huron havea record such as that of the Handford homestead, in the township of,Usborne, now, occupied by Mr, James Handford.' It was taken up. by the late Richard Handford in the` year 1831 and. from that thine- to the present not a single person has• died thereon or a funeral cortege left the premises. Few farms in any county Pave such a record. Stop My Paper. When a man gets mad at something he sees in the paper he calls the editor names and rattles offan inky shriek "Stop my paper!" It stops but the earth continues to revolve, the moon to get"full".and the ice continues as heretofore, freezing with the slippery side on deck; and regularly every week the gent who wanted the paper "stop- ped"neighbor's sneaks into his nei hbor's to "see what it says this week." corning 'Facts.

That Exeter possesses among its youth: `an artist of lintisu,ti l merit is not generally known. We ref r to -Master Frank, son of Mr. Wm. Weekes, who has just -put the finishing toaehes on`a life-size ,lead pencil drawing of Lord Roberts. To say the production gives evidence of high artistic skill is only doing justice to the youthful de- lineator, every line, mark and linea- ment rnent having its effect and- displays that remarkable aesthetic gift of which so few can boast: Of ' course he gets the talent honestly, his father being a gifted artist, but the youth gives pro- mise to outdo his progenitor, in the near future with much credit to him- self. We learn that the directors of the Exeter Union Burial grounds are en- ergetically preparing to carry out next summer's improvements in the ceme- tery. They have engaged Mr. D. A. Alward by the year as caretaker. It is to be hoped that the different munici- palities interested and, the general public will join in and assist the, direc- tors in 'their undertaking, and will heartily respond to any appeal which the directors may make.

Man., returned home on Tuesday week, making the trip in< seven days, including the sale of the horses. This is remarkably quick time' and few-if—any have ever made the trip quicker. Mr. Robt. Bissett, of Great Falls, Montana. and son of the late Robt. Bissett. gave the ADVOCATE a call yesterday (Wednesday.) Being an old school mate of ye editor it is need- less to say the meeting was a most pleasant one, with the many incidents of those good old by -gone days to re- call and discuss. He was called to Ontario owing to the severe illness of his mother who resides in Powassan, Parry Sound District. Remember the millinery and man- tle show rooms are always open at Stewart's.

As a sure sign that i r s n inb will.soon be here we need .only chronicle the fact that last week a man came to town ` wearing a little • straw hat, and who appeared entirely un- conscious that such head gear had been called in." Then again, the boys have been playing marbles,so it may be taken for granted that there will be no more or any severe weather.

Taylor and Jen pings, were novel, interesting and con- vincing to the most skeptical, and while being unique the practical illus- trations were most aiinusingg and laugh- 'able. Probably the most 'difficult and .interesting feat in mind, reading was performed by Prof. Taylor.on Monday. A committee ,pf four, composed of Dr.', Rollins, H. Speakman, Jos. Davis and 0.11. Sanders was selected' to assist the professor in his •wort:, • which was <to• drive a spirited team _through various streets of the town blindfoided,and per- forrnother he r difficult acts.' About tit f our o'clock the committee assembled at Dr. Rollins' office and after mapping an apparently difficult route, known only to the•`niselves, they boarded: the car- riage. The professor was blindfolded and at about a three-minute clip be drove northward to the Trivitt Me- morial church thence east to Andrew street,south to North street, and again to Main; thence north to the Metro- politan and east to Andrew, returning on the same'street again to Main and down Main to Victoria; thence east to. Andrew, down Andrew to North; thence west to Main, down Main to Janes; thence east to Elizabeth and south to Huron; thence west to Main and north to the Central Hotel, turn- ing around proceeded south to Huron and back on Main to the post office. Here the professor jumped from the rig, and proceeded in search of a post, office box key which 'had previously been hidden by one.of the ;committee. This he located without much difficul- ty and then proceeded to the post of fice,unlockiiig box 130 and ta:kin'ga-let- P Yl e "to Mr. •deliver ,d Sal ter therefrom Jos. 'Sen1n ' art to m it was Senior, the party addressed. He retraced. his steps to the rig and drove to the Central Hotel, passing through the archway •without the slightest difficulty. The feat was certainly a most marvellous one and was witnessed by hundreds of our cit- . zeus. The remains of Mrs. Perkins,:' (relict of the late Henry •Perkins) who died in London on Sunday last, after sever- al months' illness from cancer of the liver,were brought here on Tuesday morning and laid to rest in the Exeter cemetery, the funeral taking place from the depot on arrival of the morn- ing train. The deceased was a former resident of Usborne and later of Exe- ter, and among her many friends both in that township andhere will learn with regret of her death, Parents of school children may find considerable "gospel" in the following: Before listening to coirpiaints of your children about the partiality and gen- oral fiendishness of their teachers, and getting all worked up and excited over it, it is better to reflect a little. Re- member that one or half a dozen cher- ubs drive you crazy about half the time, and beat with the teacher who is making intelligent men and women out of as rmpromised•stuff as you were twenty or thirty years. ago. Remem- ber that, besides your boy, who every- body knows is an angel, he has tti con- tend with that awful hoy, of your neighbor, and you know what a holy terror he is. Calf For Sale.

Nearly everybody knows that char- coal' is the safest and most efficient dis- infectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleans- ing purpose. Charcoal is a' remedy that the entire you take of it the bet- ter. 'It is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities al- ways present in the, stomach and in- testines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal'sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetable. Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbes the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the.mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. Forecast for April Rev. Irl R. Hicks gives the following forecast for the month of April:—The first regular storm period for April has three causes for expecting storms,aside from the planetary causes. This per- iod runs from March 31st to April the 5th: Very high temperature in most parts, with low barometer and rain, hail and thunder, may he expected promptly on or next to the 1st. Storm- iness with heavy April rains will con- tinue up to about the 4th. Dangerous, tornadic storms need not be surprised at on or touching Monday the 1st, to Wednesday the 3rd. Very cool weath- er will follow on the heels of this storm period, witb probably late snow north- ward and frosts in many sections, even central to south ward, from about the 4th to 7tb. Watcb your tender plants. On end touching the 8th and Oth will fall a marked change to warmer; the barometer will react to lower readings and heavy April rains, hail and Limns der, will visit many sections in :their general march from west to east. Bar- ometer will rise rapidly behind these reactionary storms, bringing quite cool winds from west and north, and frosty nights in northern. directions, The 12th to the 18th constitates another regular storm period. , The crisis of thiseriod will fall on or next to Mon- day the 15th about which date look,for vicious electrical storms attended 'by' hail, rain and da.ngerous•winds. Low barometer, high temperature,{;i nd.daily paroxysms of wind and April down- pours, will most probably continue over the conjunctionof Moon'and Sun on the 18th and into the reactionaty, Storm period on the 19th, 20th and 21st. The lest week in April is also covered with a mercury -period, the same being central' on Monday the 20th.. In ex- treme northern parts there is a possi- bility of sleet and snow riming this last April period. We predict that, April will bring many extremes of very warm 0ncl quite cool weathet*a war with northerly and southerly cur- rents.
