The south pole seemed uprooted about the same time and out of tho opening thus made came gusts of wind which made the combination anything but pleasant outdoor tra- velling companions. The rain will fill a very undesirable void, as in many parts of tho country springs and wells had become dr3 and fann- ers and others had to cart water for miles for stock and domestic pur- poses. THE TEACHER of ono of the pub- lic schools in Ontario who was much annoyed by the muffled tink- ling of tiny bolls at various times during school hours, noticed that as a row of girls wriggled their foot the tinkling began. When they stopped the tinklink stopped, too. The teacher connected the' wrig- gling with the tinkling, and, sud- denly pouncing on a vary short frocked little hiss, discovered a tiny boll attached to her garters. And now the legend, "Any girl found wearing bells on her garters will be dismissed", adorns the school walls. THE FATEFUL APPLE. -4 Hamil- ton scientist some time ago read a paper before a local association there in which ho endeavored to prove that Ontario was tho site of the original garden of Eden. He, however, omitted to offer as one of his proofs the fact that this Pro• vinco seems to be the home of the apple. For beauty of appearance, lusciausnoss and general comestibil- ity Outnrio apples take the cake. Last week we gave an excerpt from the books of D. Cantelon, of Clinton, showing that he had this season bought and shipped over 30,000 bar- rels of apples. And now we find that W. H. Millman, of Woodstock, bas shipped this season 46,192 barrels and Thos.Selden,of Ingersoll,35,000 barrels. Those shipments comprise Duly -a' dlall '15-oltiutr 'tlra-Oiffll `i''ro output.
