CLARK.—Af- ter a long illness of many months of enfeebled health the spirit of Mr, Thos' Olark passed away on Friday night last at the ripe old age of 82 years. Mr. Clark had been a resident of Exeter for a number of years and was married to his now sorrowing widow some few years ago, both hay- ing been previously married twice. He was a wan who was upright in all his dealings, a lifelong and consistent xeinber of the Methodist church, and on the respect of all with whom he ame in contact. His son Samuel, of ,Cobourg arrived here and was at his father's bedside at the time of his death. The remains were interred in the family plot in the Cobourg ceme- tery. The sympathy of the commun- ity is extended to the sorrowing widow in her sad bereavement. `;WEATHER F O R BOASTS.—For the first week in May the St. Louis man e.rom'sed us chilly weather end frosts, and we have had them. Now comes his predictions for the incoming week: "As we enter the regular storm pe- riod, say about the 10th,• the barome- ter will begin falling in the west, a de- cided change to summer temperature will begin in the same section, vast cloud areas. will begin to move east- ward across the country, and from the 11th to about the 14th, storms of rain, hail and thuuder—some of them fu- rious and tornadic—will visit many states lit their sweep to the. Atlantic seaboard. Storms at this and the re- maining periods in May are apt to re- peat themselves in daily cycles, or at about the same time of day for several successive days. A decided rise in the barometer, change of wind to the west and cooler, will mark the end of series of storms, and will be followed by nights cola enough for frost in northern to central states. The gener- al aspects of the sky, clouds, wind currents, temperature barometer and hygrometer,will give timely and am- ple warnings as to whether the storm centers are e3ming your way. COST ONTARIO Two MILLIONS.—rhe Ontario Department of Agriculture has issued an important bulletin on "Peas and the Pea Weevil." Since Ontario is the greatest pea -growing section of the continent of America, and since the crap is used in a great variety of ways, this subject is more important than 'may appear: The pea crop has undoubtedly occupied a very important place in the Agriculture of Ontario. According to the reports of the Bureau of Industries, the average value of the threshed peas grown in Ontario duringthe past twenty years amounted to ully eight million dol- lars a year. - In 1807 no less than• 896,- 73ii acres were devoted to the pea crop, this being the largest area under peas in any single year. Since that date, however there Ixas been a grad- ual decrease until the year 1902 when only 532,630 acres of peas were grown. This decrease is uudoubtedly due to the great damage done to the crop in south-western Ontario by the pea weevil, commonly known as the "pea bug:" The total direct logs by the agency of the pea weevil in 1902 is es- timated at over tOd million dollars. • W.

Atkinson, Practical Eznbalmer,Graduate of Embalming College, Toronto, on Wednesday, April 20th, was quite well attended considering that it was the first held in our town. The church was tastefully decorated with flowers, and on the platform, a pit-. ture of Miss Willard rested on an easel. Mrs. Millward gave one of her well prepared bible readings from the first Psalm, which was much appreci- ated. Mrs. Paulin, our county Super- intendent from Dashwood, gave an address on "Social ,Purity." Perhaps. not many are aware that so much at- teneion is being paid to this phase of W. 0. T. U., work. In 31 counties in Ontario, public meetings have been held, educative literature distributed and sold, while one missionary, Mrs. Beale is engaged exclusively in this work. Whoever • undertakes this work will find as Nehemiah found when he rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem, "That the strength of the hearers of hardens was decayed and there was much. rubbish." Those who engage in purity reform work are everywhere confronted with very much rubbish in the form of ignorance,. prejudice, false modesty and extreme conserva- tisnx. Practical thoughts on the sub- ject, --(1) Guard your companionships; (2) guard your reading, "What we habitually read gives a 'hue to our thoughts and feelings and to our dai- ly conversation." (3) guard your thoughts, The counsel of all others. most needed in youth is govern your thoughts. Evil thoughts are worse enemies than lions and tigers; for one can get out of the way of wild beasts, . but bad thoughts win their way every where." "Whatsoever things are. true, • whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatso- eyer things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on .these things." ; (4) Heart parity can only be attained by faith in the atonement.
