Bioko' Forecasts For Jaly.
A Regular Storni Period is cental,
coincident with the center of the Met-
e wry period, the regular storm period
extending from the lath to the 21th,
and the Mercury period from the 15th
to the *lath. About the _'nth the Intro.
teeter will begin to fall in weate'rn
p tits of the country, with rapidly ris-
ing temperature, followed by general
loudinesa. During the 21st to '.filth
threatening storm clouds and mulch
eeve're bluster will be very natural.
This poi io ' is also one of the most fav-
orable times for rain during this month.
As a rale the Mercury periods bring
mush coo: untied cloudiness, with drizz-
ling rain. but some of the heaviest
storms alai tainf+ills frequently occur
at the !demi; ng of regular storm pet•
Nis directly with the Mercury periods.
Sorb iesult+are possible at this per-
iod, hilt we fear that rains will not be
ernerally diffused and copious. Nar-
row localities note have deluging
downpour., but the grain belts, and
other wide areas of the country, while
t hey toe y have ugly storm clouds,
thunder .41141 high winds, will most like -
lc stiffen a shortage in rainfall. A
change 1,4 cooler, more pleasant con-
1itions may reasonably be expected
from about the 24th to the 2th.

Rey. Hutton, of London, formerly
of Centralia, preached in the James

sence of Rev. Going, who, in his ca-
pacity of President of the London
Conference, conducted re -opening ser-
vices in Askin Street Methodist

The Quoit Tournament in London
will be held on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, August 3rd, 4th and 5th.
Messrs. Ed. Treble, Geo. Anderson,
Cliff. Spackman, and probably others
of town, will take part. The boys are
getting in considerable practice and

The trustees and scholars of Exeter
School learn with regret that Mr.
Campbell, of Wingham, who acted as
Principal during June, has decided not
to return, having accepted a similar
position in Chesley, only two hours
before receiving a favorable reply to
his plication for Exeter School at
$1,200. The School Board is now ad-
vertising for a Principal.
Mr. Jas. Snell, a gentleman of about
81) years of age, one morning last week
cut with a scythe a fine field of hay.
The work was accomplished before S
o'clock and the crop was a fairly heavy
one, although it was sowed in April.
Some of the older gentlemen in town
have no difficulty in accomplishing in
the early morning hours what it would
take the ordinary young fellow one
day to look at, two to think about and
the rest of the week to accomplish.
Miss Hannah Kinsman, teacher, left
last week for Toronto, where she will
take a summer course in the l'nivers-
ity. The course treats of such sub-
jects as hygiene, the diseases of the
eye, throat, nose, etc., to which school
children are subjected. Miss Johnson,
who is at her borne in the city for the
holidays, is also taking the course. A
knowledge by the teacher of such
subjects should be of great benefit to
the scholars under the teacher.
Painful Accident.
Mr. Fred lltinkin of near Farquhar
met with a painful accident last
week which might yet result in the
loss of one eye. He was delivering u
fat cow which did riot take kindly to
t n
c rope and when passing antis some
th 1 f K r
trees on the roadside the brute pulled
hint through rather hurriedly. Unfor-
tunately one of the branches cause in
contact with his eye, tearing the sur-
rounding flesh and also inflicting a
severe wound to the eye. Mr. 11itnkin
has snffe red much intense pain.
heath• Front Scarlet Fever Arc:Declining.
Now that smallpox, thanks to com-
pulsory vaccination, has become a rar-
ity in civilized communities, scarlet
fever steps f(Ittald as the worst of
the eruptive diseases of childhood. it
is a malady of enormous antiquity.
Thucydides, writing nearly five hun-
dred feat. before the beginning of our
era, celled it a heritage from the re-
mote past. It. has scourged the white
racer in all ages and all countries. and
the physicians of all schools have lev-
eled their heaviest artillery upon it,
says Dr. Leonard K. Iiirshberg in the
August DI•:r.1NeATon. Yet it remains
a puzzle unsolved and an enemy un-
conquered. even to -day. We are in
doubt as to its cause, and there is no
drug or antitoxin that will cnre it.
Bert despite all this, the death rate
from scarlet fever is steadily declining,
and we may expect it to decline more
and more as the years go by. The
reason for this, 1 take it, lies in the
fact that the modern doctor is a great
deal more sparing with pills and pow-
ders than his predecessor, and a great
deal more lavish with water, air and
antiseptics. in the old days it was
customary to dose scarlet fever pa-
tients with all sorts of violent reme-

Mr. and Mrs. Duncan C. McLeod, of
Pana, 111., former residents of Exeter'
the former being a brother of our es-
teemed townsman, Mr. G. A. K. Mc-
Leod, celebrated their Golden Wed-
ding Anniversary in that town on
Monday week. The event wasattend-
ed with great eclat and proved to be
one of the memorable events in the
history of the town. Mr. and Mrs.
McLeod were united in marriage on
July 5th, 1858, at Kingston, Ill., and
have been prominent residents of
Pana since 11305. The presents were
many, beautiful and valuable, among
which was a purse containing $50 in
gold, given by the Royal Arch Masons
of Pana, (he being a valued member
of the order); twenty dollar gold pieces
from three of their children; twenty
dollar gold piece from Dr. McShea ot
Kansas; twelve five dollar gold pieces
from the Congregation of the Presby-
terian Church. Mr. and Mrs. McLeod's
old time friends here will join with
their many friends in Pana in extend-
ing congratulations and best wishes
for many more years of happiness.
No Longer s Model.
Mr. Cuningham, secretary of the
Public School Board, has received
official notice from the Government
that the Model School here will be dis-
continued from this time. This will
make considerable difference to the
School Board, which last year receiv-
ed $150 from the (3oyernnient and $150
from the County, owing to it being a
Model school; add to this the amount
received from pupils, last year $223, a
total of $323 that the Trustees will
not receive this year. From this can
he deducted the salary of the assis-
tant employed during the model term,

hereafter, will be the nearest Model

it Pays to Be Concerned.
Young men who have rio concern
for the welfare of their employers
have not enough concern in regard to
their own affairs to make their own
life a success. A clerk, behind either
the counter or the desk, is only of
valueto 1 exerts
�,tl u his employer when he xert
himself in behalf of that etnplot er, and
the measure of his exertion. Theie-
fore, the more a young man does for
his employer directly, the more he is
doing for himself indirectly. Ily hon-
est effort in doing all he can—the
young man not only la -mines entitled
to higher wages, but he is at the saute
time acquiring more knowledge and
skill, which shall fit him the better to
carry on business oil his own account
when opportunity offers. It pays to
be concerned about you t• employer's
business: it does not pay to be uncon-
cerned.
