The call was pleasant because of Mr. Hanna’s geniality, and because of another little matter about which we set our readers to guess. For the past few weeks Mrs. Hanna has been ‘visiting her mother and other rela- tives in the vicinity of Varney, but returns this week with her husband to Arthur. Those who know Mrs. if. will regrâ€"ei‘to learn that. her health has not. been good for some time, but we are pleued to know she is now improving. A QUESTION was brought up a few days ago regarding the weigh scales. [t was contended by a farmer that a scale of high capacity would not weigh accurately a small article such as a sheep, a lamb, or a pig. and that a lighter scale should be provided for weighing light articles. No blame whatever was attached to Mr. Ander- son for not giving correct weight, he tested on a scale of smaller capaci- ty. We were of opinion that eveh a large platform scale should he sufic- iently accurate even in such cases as the one under consideration. We want light on the’suhject, and our columns are open for the discussion. Statutory hali- will be closed after arrival of People THE GOING AND COMING 0F VISITOR8 IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER.

The pastor will have charge HOCOH BAPTIST. METHODIST. Know The train doesn’t start every time that the conductor says “All aboard.” It is a question whether one would rather be considered ahypocrite or an ignoramus. Wye should think a man would feel discouraged if he had to look at. his wife wearing curl papers. Doors are not always kept shut to keep out. the cold. Sometimes they are kept shut to keep in the baby. They say when a loquacious China- man gets Well under way he can wash the dirty linen even at a town Mayor. If you eat a mushroom and it kills you it’s a toadstool; if it doesn’t kill you it’s a mushroom. There’s no news too small for us to publish so long as it isnews. There’s no person too poor to be rec- ognized. How do y on like it when you hme washed vour face in the morning. to have to hunt all over the house for a towel? Considering the improvement it makes in men’s appearnce, they real- ly ought to patronize the barber IIIOI'B. Our handsome and rich Chicago girl hasn’t got a man yet. Can’t somebody tackle the job and set. her mind at ease. Her ad. appears in another column. One of our alderman says they have lots of fun at the Council meet- ings. Don’t doubt it. It’s lots of fun to sit back and watch them perform. We don’t believe it was Chief Con- stable Carson that played all the tricks on Hallow-e’en. He never climed the telephone pole and put the bench up there alone. We always did regard it as low for a man to loaf round the corners and make improper remarks about wom- en, but it isn’t a whit better for a woman to make similar remarks about men. When a woman cackles around for the sole purpose of catching attention she generally catches it. A loud woman always throws herself open for unde-irahle, and perhaps unde- serving criticism. The ” Keep out. ” cards don’t. seem to work well at the Cement Weeks. A shot gun would be better. Joking aside. some people do seem to have the faculty of making huge nuisances of themselves. The work has to be done with such mathematical exact- ness that the removal of a line is liable to cause trouble. We are not surprised that the “ boss" get cranky Once upon a time. a clergyman, better up in theology than ortho- graphy was appointed secretary with instructions to request the presence of the clergy in a. certrin district to attend a conventian. The invitation was given all right, but the post- script “ Be sure to take your surplus with you ” provoked a smile, and at the same time gave evidence of wisdom and foresight on the part of the clerical oflicial. There may be choirs willing to sing, pay for their own music. and contribute liberally to the schemes of the church, but there’s surely no con- gregation who thinks them obliged to do so. An occasional member may he found small enough to expect all this but most of such are now fenced in as curiosities in our zoological gardens. The last; specimen we heard of was captured down country about twenty-five years ago, and the race now is nearly, if not altogether, extinct. The weather last week was exceed- ingly fine. and a good showing was made around Cement Works. The foundations of three large buildings now underway and for strength and workmanship they are the admira- tion of the hundreds of spectators who visit the site every week. The railway is about completed to the works, and the grading to the lake will be finished before this paper reaches some of our distant readers. Everyone is delighted with the com- plete transformation already made, and as the work nears completion, thousands will be astonished at its magnificence and stability. The rotary foundations can now be seen, and an inspection will convince almost everyone regarding their strength. Some of the material for the rotaries is now on hand. about which we’ll have more to say later The unfinished walls of the machine shop give a better idea than anything we can write of the almost unlimited use to which cement may be put as a‘ building material. One third of the‘ block being hollow will. render a building dryer and warmer in winter and cooler in summer than a building of solid concrete. stone or brick; Moreover the tensile strength in. creases indefinitely at months and years roll by. KITS AND KISSES. CEMENT NOTES. -.-ao.boâ€"o-â€"â€"-â€" The Lord’s Day Advocate for Octo- ber has the following items in relao tion to Sabbath observance in which the little publication is interested as insnired by The Lord’s Day Alliance. Under the head of general news it says :â€" Interesting News.â€"â€"A ship-build- ing firm in Collingwood. Ontario, on a recent Sabbath, had its men at work on the plea that Otherwise it would not be ready to launch on date of announcement. The local minis- ters made a vigorous appeal to the Sabbath sentiment of the town and the Mayor ordered the work stopped. which was promptly done. ‘ Since the organization of the Mea- ford Branch of the Alliance and the warning given to the contractor and his employees doing harbor improve- ment in that part. the repair work that was being done on Sunday, has been stopped. The chief mines in Phoenix, B. C., have recently closed. down on Sun- day, following the example set a year ago by the chief mines about Rossland. The City Council of Nelson, B. C., has forbidden the use of the grounds under its control for Sunday Sports. Such things in British Columbia have to be dealt with by Civic Byolaw, there being no Provincial Lord’s Day Act. Well done, Nelson! The Alliance in St. John. New' Brunswick. is having difliculty in getting the excellent New Brunswick Lord’s Day Act enforced. the police refusing to do their duty. The Alli- ance is pushing an investigation so as to place the responsibility for this neglect of duty where it belongs.‘ They will'doubtless in time succeetlU The published official pregramme of the recent tour of his Excellency, the Governor-General, through the Maritine Provinces, announced sev- eral Sunday visits with attendant receptions, which, if carried out, must have involved serious violation of the Sabbath by travel, brass bands, hurrahing crowds, etc. Our friends in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick promptly sent reSpectful but vigor- ous protests against the proposed iviolation of the Sabbath, direct to his Excellency, when the offensive items of the programme were at once changed. Some men in Cape Breton. who began Sunday work in railway con- struction and refused to stop on being warned,were promptly brought before the MagiStrate and fined. They threatened to appeal. but in- stead have ceased offending. The General Secretary expects to be in Nova Scotia from Nov. 16 till Christmas. and will probably Spend January and the first part of Febru- ary in New Brunswick, Prince Ed- ward Island and Quebec. The following new branches have been organized by the Field Secretary in Ontario“ sinceJast issue of The Advocate : â€"Dorset, Newbury, Pene- tanguishene. Rossean, Sundbridge. East Toronto and Collingwood (re- organized). There is no general delivery of milk in Ottawa. If not necessary in Ottawa, why is it so in other cities and even much smaller places? The City Dairy Company of Toron- to has recently set an example by publicly announcing that ice cream would not be delivered on Sunday. It is to be hOped that the christian public will show its appreciation of this worthv stand taken, we believe, on principle by this large corporation. OPINIONS OF GREAT MEN REGARDING THE SABBATH.
