The trial was witnessed by a large number of pro rn • inent farmers,all being delighted with the final proof of its excellence. A farmer near Kingsville wanted his son to get npearly and go to work. The boy had a habit of answering "yes sir" and then go to sleep again. On this occasion last week the father, to make no mistake, called the boy and got the "yes sir" and then slid up the stairs, turned down the covers and e aye the person a good spanking. It happened that on that night the hired girl had been given the boy's room.

REV. IRL IlIcxi'S FORECASTS—One of the warmest waves in July may be reasonably counted on from about Friday the 24th to Monday the 27th. On and touching the 27th, many act- ive electrical storms are more than probable. Any careful observer may soon satisfy himself that increase in temperature, as a rule, attends the conjunction of Sun, Earth and Moon, also that the passage of the Moon over the celestial equator brings increased warmth and electrical disturbances. Hence the new Moon, or Moon in con- junction with Sun and Earth—being nearest the Earth also—falling on the 24th and being on the equator on the 27th, all in a reactionary storm period, a crisis of summer heat will be natur- al for several days culminating about the 27th in many thunder storms, and followed by change to cooler, The equinoctial period of the planet Mars begins about the 20th, The last ten days of July and the general tone or character of the storms and weather prevailing the first half of July, will indicate to a large degree the charact- er of storm and weather through August and much of September. The opposition of the planet Saturn with Earth and Sun falls on July 80th. This will also be a factor in all the meteorological disturbances late in July and ten days into August. One result of Saturns opposition will be to increase the temperature to phenom- enal summer heat, and bring on seis- mic convulsions later. The month comes to its close in the first stage of a regular storm period, the culmin- ation of which will fall in the opening days of August. W0MAN's INSTITUTE MEETING—The first special meeting of the Exeter branch of the Woman's Institute was held on Wednesday, July 15th in the Town Hall. There was a very good attendance notwithstanding thecount- er attractions that day and a great member of our citizens being away for aholiday."The afternoon meeting was conducted by Miss Ida M. Hunter an honor graduate of the Domestic Sci- ence School of Hamilton, who gave an address and demonstration on "Selection and preparation of food," throwing oat some practical hints which were helpful and appreciated by the ladies present, Owing to the ab- sence of the president the evening was ably presided over by Mr. D. McInnes Who ho is well versed in Institute work fbr the sterner sex and in a few re - arks strongly advocated the necess- r y of organization among the ladies 'and the benefit to be derived there- from. Miss Hunter followed with a practical address on "The Education sof our Girls," with a few hints as to the ei:siest and best way of doing gen- eral house work. Miss Hunter is an excellent platfoem speaker and well versed on her subject. Miss Reynolds, of Scarboro, one of the lady delegates sent out by the Government was the next speaker who took up the subjects of "Woman's Institute their Aim and Objects," "Home and Home Makers." She gave some valuable suggestions, dealing with the importance of having domestic science in the home. The meeting was closed with the national anthem. The ladies,are to be congrat- ulated on the success of their meeting which is only the first of other similar meetings to be held during the fall and winter. The Institute here is only as yet in its infancy but can boast of some 40 members with several new names but recently added. Children Cry for.
