As the season is approaching when the thoughts of the enthilsiast turn to fishing it may- prove interesting to give the date when the•varieties of the fin- ny tribe Linty betaken -,vithoat infring- ing the statutes. ' The following va- rieties of fish shall not be caught, sold or had in possession in Ontario duririg the periods indicated below:, Ontario Bass, from April 15 to June 1,5; mask- inonge from April 15 to Jone 15; pick- eral (dors), April 15 to May 15; speckled tsrporiiittig,'..from SepteTher 15 to May ;1; .salmon trout, from November 10 to 30; whitefish, from November 1 to 30. ; Talk about bluebirds and , robbins being harbingers of spring, the old fashioned frog lays over them all.

He couldnt boast of anY brilliant plumage, and doesn't 'fly as ;high as his feathered rivals, but when it comes down to good horse sense he takes the cake, when he times his little pipe and begins his merry-go- round melody you can bet your win- ter he won't get left.' This lovely child or melody knows a good thing when he sees it, and never begins operations til spring has been on hand a crimple of weeks. A Magazine for the Home. The May issue of THE DELINEATOR, in addition to showing eighty styles for the month devoted to ladies, girls, babies, men aud boys, contains much else that will be of interest to women of education and taste.- Among the interesting articles we Call name Sea- sonable Dress Fabrics, the making, of Wash Gowns for Summer Wear, the Hats of the Season, photographs of the Inaugural Ball Dresses, Commence- ment -Day 'dresses, the Etiquette of Wedding, Chafing Dish Recipes (illus- trated). Among the general literary articles is the story of "Dicken's :Un- romantic Love," biography of Ellen M. Gifford, aml a review Of the newest books. The abovementioned articles do not by any means exhaust the offering which THE DELINEATOR makes to the modern woman. Sparetbe Birds. Nt w that the birds are returning to s, us for the summer, we wish to say a word to the boys, some of whom are too fond Of shooting at them with guns and catapults. The birds are very use- ful in killing insects whieh are injuri- ous to vegetation, and it is to the in- terest of all that they should .not be destroyed or driven away, to say nothing of the cruelty of killing them. It is unlawful to shoot, destroy, catch, injure, or attempt to do so, any wild native birds other than hawks, crows blackbirds and English sparrows, and there is -a-fine (or, in default of pay- ment, imprisonment) for violation of the law. Destruction of the nests of birds is prohibited also under the same penalties. Parents should keep an eye On their children and not allow them to engage in such cruel practices. We hope there will be, no occasion to repeat this warning. Of Interest To Barbers. Local barbers will be interested in the bill to amend the Ontario shops Regulation Act., Tlae bill provides as follows: "No employer shall require, permit or suffer any em- ploye in any barber shop to work on Sunday, and no proprietor of any barber shop shall open his -barber shop' or permit the same ..t� be opened to the public to carry On any hesiness or work therein at any time between the hours of 12 o'clock in the afternoon on SatitrdaY and 12 o'cloch in the fdr- noon on Sunday, Any employer or any proprietor of a barber shop who violates the proVisions of the precedj ing section shall on conviction thereof be liable to a penalty of not less than $20 besides costs, and of not more than $50 besides costs, and in default of payment of the same,, shall be im- prisoned for a period of not less than thirty days, and of not more than six months." Small Pox Scare. A Granton correspondent writing to the St. Marys Journal says: -It is but fair to onr village and the surrounding community to give to the public the facts of the small pox scarethat h,as been spread broadcast over the coun- try by the press aud otherwise. About three months ;tgo the family of J. R. Hodnins, south of Jucan, became af- flicted with a disease which was diag- nosed by the attending physicians as chickenpox. This family haye all com- pletely recovered over a month ago. About six weeks ago", Edwin ilIcRob-, oberts, of the family of D.

Now, who that knows anything Of smallpox, ever heard of patients with the dread disease going around per.. fornfing their usual vocations,. The Biddulph Board of Health met in Granton on Monday and considered the matter of sr) little consequence that practically nothing was done. As far as Granton or a radius of five miles from it is concerned, we have not even, a case of chicked-pox,nOr have we o'ny IftlieESI.`.ic0k..
