.{ We put in some garden those 'warm spring days. away back last week. but the hens in their wise #ndignation scratched it out again, i: Pa ; Mr. A. Barker, and Mr. A. Bees- My, both of Toronto, paid.a visit to the latter's sister. Mrs. 'S. B. ip. ; Dr. Waters, a medical missionary Ujaiin, India; spoke in the g erian Church last Sunday. He is a young man intensely inter: #sled in his work, and having a «clear conception of its possibilities amd difficulties. He gave very in- teresting descriptions of the work xarried on' in the hospital, in terms that made the picture real. Dr. Waters returns to India pext month. Mas. Mary Scott is on her retutn Journey home from California vin Sen Fraucisco, Calgary atid Winni- yee. Mr. aud Mrs. Wm, Ross have Feturned to town after having spent ithe winter in Toronto. Water the Streets Days in the early spring and late fall like Saturday of last week, show that dust is fot controlled sltogether by the almanac. It is d@illicult to believe that there will de days when the watering cart will jhe. needed more than it was on Saturday. We understand that if {The merchants petition the council Ake cart will be put into operation. This should not be necessary; as The Reeve should be able to exer- wise sufficient judgment to be able 20 onder out the cart any time the prevalence of dust and wind de- "Miand its use. The calendar is not amuch use these days to control our "habits of life, Two things it can mot fix--the time fo start or quit sing the watering cart, or the time 2oleave our heavy winter clothing wmong the moth balls. ' Let the monncil run the 'watering cart at *gheir own discretion. By the time a petition 'was circulated the wind would have changed and our eyes would be so full of sand that we wonlde't see to write anyway. Miss Diesfeld will hold an auction male of household tarnituré on Waesday, April 26th, with 'perjury in connection 'with | ,the municipal elections of January last. A preliminary hearing was begun on Saturday and adjourned until next Thursday evening, The trial is beitig conducted at the in- stance of the Crown by County Crown "Attorney Farewell, before Magistrate Purdy. The case pro-| .gressed but very little on Saturds "SEA Night in the Skies." The lecture by Dr. Marsh last Wednesddy evening' was well at- tended and was satisfactory as an introduction to astronomy.' The audience was of wide range, in- cluding small children and grown folk, but everyone present could; and doubtless did, gather much of interest and value from the lecture, which "was delivéred 'clearly and with a singular' lack. of 'technical terms. 'This very simplicity would perhaps be considered a fault among those who connect the wonders of nature with Jong words. The speaker evidently did not consider fortune 'telling by (he stars to be very reliable, and said he. could tell a fortune about as accurately from the. tracks made by an old pair of rubbers. Not was he a firm believer in the necessity of consult! ing the moon as to the proper time to kill pork or to sow"peas. - Dr. Marsh may be forgiven for not being "orthodox 'in this respect, although; as he 'remarked; {t'is a pity that 'the moou couldn't make pork: swell considering its present price. 'Some of his first slides were specially interesting," They showed the motions of the heavenly bodies in a way that we have never before seen presented. = Other slides show- ed the relative size of the planets and the fixed stars. Every slide was clearly defined and showed even to those unlearned in astron- omy, the wonderfal accaracy which has been attained in this scientific investigation. Among the most wonderful of the views was that taken of - Halley's comet by 'the Yerkes telescope. last: September. The picture iilustratéd splendidly how accurately the calculations can be made as to the speed of the heavenly bodies and the time: of their appearing to the human vision, The views of the moon:were clear and good, but one felt that there | were many questions to be answered for which there was noitime:just then, The myriads of stars in some' of the photographic plates| gave some slight idea of the 1m- mensity of the universe.
