The investigetlon into the Gainey charges commenced on Monday, So far Mr. Gamey has been the only wit- ness to give any evidence. He has )Jaen in the bands of the lawyers for the prosecution and the lawyers for the defence, and is sticking to the story he told in the legislature pretty well, EASTER. There is a difference of opinion about the derivation of the word Easter, which is used in the King Jannes ver- sion of the New Testament (Acte xif, 4) -"And when he (Herod) had appre- hended him (Peter) he put him in prison, intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people," Some think Easter is derived from Eostre, the name of a Saxon diety, whose feast was cele- brated every year in the spring, the name being retained when the char- acter of the feast was changed; others suppose the word was derived from Octel, which signifies rising. Easter is the anniversary of our Lord's resurrec- tion from the dead, wei'h took place nn Sunday, the first day of the week. There were bitter controversies during the first four centuries of the Christian era regarding the proper time to ob- serve the Easter festival, and the dis- pute was not settled in England until the year 864, the British and Irish churches Laing so annoyed by the haughtiness with which the Italians had demanded an alteration in their calendar that they doggedly determined not to change. In the early church Good Friday and Easter eve were ob- served as a strict and continuous fast till after midnight of the latter, the whole night before Easter day being passed in continual worship, and in listening to Notions and sermons. Dur- ing the vigil the churches, and fre- quently the streets, were brilliantly lighted, the worshippers also bringiug lamps and tapers with thein. Easter was the,chief time for baptism in the early church. Easter eggs are sym- bolical of the creation, or the re-creation of spring, The practice of presenting eggs to friends at Easter is Magian or Persian, Christians adopted the cus- tom to symbolise the resurrection, and they color the eggs in allusion to the blood of their redemption. WORSE THAN WASTED. A notable feature of the estimates brought down in the House of Commons, says the Zurich Herald, is another grant of $5000 for St, Joseph dock. Now, we are not jealous et our weateru city, but from the costly experience there last year, one would think that our government indeed had "money to burn." The 56000 spent there so far might as well have been distributed to the "needy" and the labor (?) saved, so all that remains on the beach, to show where the dock was intended to be built, is a lot of timber of doubtful quality and value. Speaking generally, last season's work down there was a disgrace to any government. Men were engaged at 12 per day wheeling sand and gravel to the approach of the dock, when it must have been patent to any observer with half an eye that one swoop from old Lake Huron would undo more than a dozen mon could replace in a week. If the member for this riding values his political life at more than six -pence, he will surely see that the country Rets some value for the money scattered broadcast. If many of the large ex- penditures proposed (and they are Nome 58,000,000 larger than last year) by the government are on a par with the wild- cat scheme on Lake Huron, there will certainly be a big protest from all over Canada, and the Laurier administration will do well to take heed before it ie too late. The country is prosperous it is true, bet it must be remembered that the re -action will come sooner or later. We mutt add, that with a change in the head of the public works department we expeoted that the new minister would attempt to keep a better control of this imeertant department, and the country will be sorely disappointed if the wasteful method of squandering public money be roritinued, If St. far "St. Joseph Dock" has been the laughing -stock of the community fear and near. rex FALL FAiR. The influence or the annual fail fairs is far more potent then is generally believed. The profits of improving and perfecting various lines ,of Berm pro- ducts area stimulus to continuous study and patient effort, but there is a still stronger impelling ;force in the desire to leave competitors behind and bring forth the best that the district contains. The thooght of a first prize is more inspiring and stimulating than the anticipation of iooreaeing returns. There is nothing more inspiring, nor in the broadest sense more worthy of com- mendation, than to bring forth the best product of any line of useful effort, Pride and delight in one's work is among the greatest blessings that the world affords, and, whatever that work may be, so long as it adds to the world's store of useful or beautiful things it is capable of yielding the highest satis- faction. The evolution of the country fair is shown in the second annual report of the Canadian Association of Fairs and Exhibitions. and one of the most in- teresting features le a paper ou the first agricultural societies by Mr. C. C. James, deputy minister of agriculture for Ontario, Mr. James has brought back the quaint language of some of the earlier legislation establishing these useful institutions, and has resurrected a great amount of knowledge regarding pioneer efforts on their behalf. He has even gone back to tiro source of inspira- tion, the faire and markets of earlier days in the motherland, Some of ;.is maracas and quotations carry us back to the days of ]Ging John, and they show us that productive and useful workers haveaver been rightly proud to display the beet results of their efforts for the admiration of their fellows, - The county fair in the early days of the prevent generation revives memories of the intricate patchwork quilt, the gigantic pumpkin, the knitted table cover, the very -much groomed aid ribboned -bedecked heifer, the elaborate embroidery, the overgrown potatoes and turnips, and the general collection of the best that each member of the community could bring forth. Some of the needlework showed en art acquired in the leisure of homes of elegance and refinement, and transplanted to the ilthospitahie eurroondings of pioneer life. The hope and courage shown in leaving a home of comfort and luxury and going out to battle for a living face to face with nature wore en earnest of success. With determination and forti- tude came the spur of emulation, when all the Members of the community would Como forward with the beet work of their hands in eager rivalry. With inetitutiong.grown .t0 maturity we may feel inclined to smile at the efforts of pioneer dayy. But the measure of their work ie not the aggregate of their early efforts, but the personsl courage and fortitude that trjumphaohly carried civilization into the heart of the wilder- ness, z , Dlyth Public School Report.
