The Huron Expositor, 1892-02-19, Page 5ese eeee nee on heir rgu- em- Of rose oe- um- sea ton, had Pith ring she HI- eich 'est - FEBRUARY 19, 1E92. 7.44 :tees THE HURON EXPOSIT° • little traffic on the roads„ they are often im- passable, and for this reason some of the public: schools are kept open for only a few months in the summer. The Sabbath Schools are also discontinued, and in many pieces they have no service. Others, again, consider themselves fortunate when they have service every second Sabbath, or even once a month. I may state that in Rol - seen we have Divine service morning and evening every Lord's day. Ry this time I imagine you think this a terrible place to live in, and you would doubtless think so if you lived here for a time. You will also think the children in those back oettle- neents must be very unhappy and miserable. This is so to a certain extent., but you,would be surprised to find them so happy. Their means of erijoyment are by no means equal to your, but they are not without some- thing to interest them. They are greatly taken up with lumbering, the chief industry of this country. Most of the men are en- gaged in this work, and boys from fourteen years up find employment in the lumber camps. So you can easily see that they are greatly interested in this industry. Then in summer they have, besides their ordinary duties, in most localities, boating, fishing and berry -picking. Then in the fall they have hunting and trapping, sports which are too familiar to require comment. So you see they have a variety of objects to occupy their time and attention. You will also meet with bright, intelligent children. Some have a fair education and are very fend of reading. I met a young lad yester- day at his home, some eight miles from here. He was reading when I was there---` a novel I am sorry to say.' He told me he read everything be could lay his hands on, and also that a certain young man in the vicinity gave him many novels to read. I tald him I expected some books from you and that I would let him have some good reading. I need scarcely say he Was much pleased at the prospect of getting good literature. From this I trust you can form an idee as to the circumstances of many ohildren. I thank you very kindly for your gifts, and trust you will be amply repaid and find pleasure for yourselves in the effort to make happier the lives of ethers, and that you will be encouraged to perievere in the good work." Yours sincerely, J. C. SMITE. Usborne. Cornas Doincs.—At a meeting of the Usborne council, held on the 6th inst., the auditors' report for 1891 was read and adopted, and 150 copies were ordered to be printed for circulation, and the auditors were paid $5 each for their services.

The reat Mystery Solved. is an acknowledged fact, that this Wisher has no equal, it is one of the wo dr i of the age, for there are actually two machines in one. Fourteen -Sh rt l can be washed at a time, seven on each side. This machine has the ha d principle with a leveragli power. The old way is acknowledged by all ve y defitructive to the clothes The finest fabrics can be washed with this m chine without the least injury to the goods. The machine will pay for its if by the saving of the goods as there is In° rubbing; it is all done by ssnre and suction. When the handles are drawn to the left, the right side clo es, thus forcing the suds through the clothes, and when the handles are dr wn to the other side the operation is reversed, and the clothes on the right sid are, again filling with water. Another great feature of this machine is, th t it bolds the clothes together throughout the washing process, and for each se s en niovements of the handles, the clothes make one revolution. Conse- qu ntly; there are five different operations made with one motion of the ha dlesi It does its work equal te,if not better, than any hand work in a very sh a rt 'thole, and it is also easy to operate.
