LINWOOD.

March 17th, 19C2.Sure enough ! f Friday evening,

March 21st, is the date set for the Great Easter Cantata, “ Easter Lil­ies,” to bo given in the Presbyter­ian church here. In addition to the Cantata, a series of Lime LigLt views of the life of the Rev. J. G. Puton will be shown. This is like ly to be one of the best entertain­ments given in Linwood for some time, and as the price of admission is only 15 cents and 10 cents, the church should be crowded.

Mr. Noah Shantz, of Crosshill, has been engaged to draw the milk from the seventh lino to the cheese factory here. This completes the list of haulers, and as the routes are considerably longer than last year, thereby taking in a h.rge number of excellent patrons who formerly sent to other factories, a very successful season’s operations should be looked forward to. Mr. Rennie has men at work on the fac­tory making nee.le l improvements in order to accommodate the in­creased patronage. It puys to have a good cheesemaker, and the farm­ers of this community are not slow to appreciate the advantages to be had at the present time.

Miss Minnie Cathcurt has secured a position as head trimmer with one of the leading merchants of Port Col borne.

Mr. R. Pollock visited friends in Waterloo and Berlin on Sunday.

We must, certainly be drifting back to the “ dark ages” when a Linwood correspondent sends to Wellesley for “ more light.” Why not go to the Scotchman at Milver­ton and get a slip off that “ ’lectric light plant,” and raise’em them­selves and “ save coal oil?”

more light, please.Editor Maple Leaf,—In your is­

sue of Feb. 28th your Linwood cor­respondent, in his items of news, inserts a rather mysterious adver­tisement in behalf of one of his gentlemen friends. The advertise­ment calls for applications from parties not over 21 years of age, temperate, thoroughly conversant with the rules of grammar and rhetoric, etc., to fill the position of private secret ary. The adv. so far is all right but your correspondent must have been suffering from the effects of a nightmare, for in his earnest appeal in behalf of his friend he fails to put his readers on track of where the applications are to be received!* We would there­fore ask him to wake np, pall him­self together and finish his ad sat­isfactorily, as a certain well-known gentleman of our town has been besieged with applications from fair and competent young ladies of the desired age, and states tha* he is not the young man desirous of any assistance in the different qual­ifications stated in the advertise­ment, More light, please, on be­half of the young people.

EARLY CHRISTIAN DAYS.

W h e n F l r . t A d o p te d b y t h f P n b lle , T h e y Seem to H a v e B een I /t i l l s e d S o le ly an Sun P ro te c to r * —O nce a n A t t r ib a t e o f D ig n ity .In the early Christian churches a

largo umbrella usually hun? over the priest, and it Is said that from this custom it beenme one of the attributes o f cardinals appointed'from basilican churches. For years the dopes of Venice carried umbrellas of state, nud In 1288 Pope Alexander 111. declared that these should be surmounted by golden statuettes of the annunciation.

Michael Moroslnl wa$ the first Vene­tian layman to carry an umbrella, which consisted of a small, flat square o f green stuff, over which was a cop­per spiral. Soon after the umbrella was adopted by fashionable Venetian dames. According to Corvat's “ Crudl ties” (1011), the Italian umbrella was a small canopy and was made of leath­er extended by a series of wooden hoops. He says umbrellas were used by horsemen, who. resting the handles on the thigh as they rode, bore them so that they should “ minister shadow unto them for shelter agalust the

'scorching sun."In the Hnrlelan manuscripts, now In

the British museum, there is in manu­script No. (X»3 a crude illustration •showing the figure of a yoeman hold iug an umbrella over ills lord, which leads me to Infer that umbrellas were known in England even in the early Anglo-Saxon period.

Beck, as quoted in the Draper's Dic­tionary, assorts that at the time that Stephen usurped the crown of England i (twelfth century) umbrellas were in common use among the English. The first mention of the umbrella in Eng­lish literature Is In Florlo’s “ World of Wonders” (1598), where it Is described as a “ kind o f round fan or shadowing

/ that they use to ride with In summer In Italy: a little shade.”

In 1050 an umbrella was exhibited In the "Museum Tradescantiauum; or. Collection o f Rarities Preserved at South Lambeth, Near London, by John Tradescant,” which was known as “ one of tiie wonders of the ark."

In the church o f Cartmell. In Lanca­shire, England, there was preserved until a few years ago an umbrella said to lie over 300 years oU. which wai used chiefly to protect the host.

References to the umbrella are to lx found also In Blount's "Glossographia” (1074) and Phillips’ “ New Worlde of Words” (1G78). In the first the refor erne reads: "Umbrello, a fashion of round and broad fans, wherewith the Indians (and from them our great ones) preserve themselves from the beat of the sun, and hsnes any little shadow, fan or other thin* wherewith the wom­en guard their faces from the sun.” The second runs: “ Umbrello. a screen against the sun's heat, used chiefly by the Spaniards, among whom it ia known by the name quiUaole.”

The Imaginative Dean Swift in the “ Tale of a Tub” (1000) depicts Jack, an ever resourceful type, making use of a parchment copy of his father’s will as a nightcap when he went to bed and as an umbrella In rainy weather. Did the worthy Hanway take his cue from j this or from Kersey,according to whom I the umbrella was a “ broad fan or screen commonly used by women to shelter them from rain?" The Inst ref- i erence, made In 1700, is the flrst men I tion o f it as a protector from the rain.

' CARD OF THANKS.I desire, through the columns of

the Maple Leaf, to express the sin­cere thanks of myfelf and family to the many friends who so kindly gave their sympathy and help dur­ing the illness and death of our son, Valentine; and also to the young friends for the beautiful me­morials of flowers with which they so touchingly expressed their sor­row and kindliness in our honr of bereavement. P eter Glebe.

A GRAND ENTERPRISE.One of Wellesley’s most enter-

prising and popular men is Mf. John Hill, proprietor of the W el­lesley Stock Furm ; and to any and all lovers of pure-bred stock of a high quality who may visit our v il­lage wo would say, if their time will permit, it w ill be a pleasant and profitable plan to call on the above gontlemun and visit his com­modious stables. The other day a Mm pie Leaf representative was pri­vileged to view tho stock in their winter quarters, and for the benefit of the readers of this paper will jot down a few of the good things that he saw.

Mr. H ill’s main stable, which is under a barn building 78x72 f t , was remodelled during the past summer, and now stands a model of light and convenience both to the animals and their caretakers. A straw shed 50x34 ft. adjoins, and a now pig stable 92x18 ft, built on up-to-date plans stands a short dis­tance away. These are supple­mented by a driving shed 50x28 and a large farm residence wherein lives his capable farm manager,Mr. Chris. B. Schwartzentrnber. Water is supplied inside the buildings by a good wind power.

Coming into the stable from the south the first of interest to be en­countered is the horses. These Mr. H ill does not breed extensively, keeping only enough for farm pur­poses. Next comes a row of cows. And such cows 1 Mr. H ill’s coun­tenance may justly beam with pride when he shows a visitor such specimens as. L ily of Goshen, who took first and sweepstakes last fall at Wellesley show, 1st and sweep- stakes a* the county show, Berlin, and 1st at M ilverton; Heather Blossom, by Warfare, imp., and Charlotte, im p.; Queen Mollie and Kirklevington Duchess, who took 1st and 2nd in Hamburg lust fa l l ; Laureston, by Warfare, imp., and Lucy Valasco, a fine sample of the heavy thoroughbred Durham cow. Behind this row of cows are some grand youngsters of both sexes that give great promisg for the future, Behind these again is a row of heif­ers, among which are found such rich strains as Euphemia, by Blue Ribbon, whose stock got more priz­es at the Pan-American than that of any other sire ; and Rosanna, another fine specimen with excel­lent blood behind her. To the north of these stands the grand 3- year-old stock bull, Clan Alpine, who weighs something over a ton. A young stock bull, Winning Hope 2nd, Imp., by Winning Hope(80283) and Lady Helen, by British Prince, has been purchased by Mr. H ill and w ill arrive on the farm in June. The cattle all stand on plank, while the rest of the floors are cement.

Among the brood sows were Dalmey Lady Frost 3rd, imp., bred by the Earl of Roseberry, K. G., Dalmey Park, Edinburgh, Scotland, one of the most noted sows ever imported ; Minnie Ann and Welles­ley Queen, who tqok first and sec­ond prizes last fall at the Wellesley, Berliq and Hamburg shows; Mat- tie, an exceedingly lengthy sow with a young litter at side; and Woodstock Mistress, a grand young sow purchased at London Exhibi-

Next joint stock sale Thursday, Mar. 26. The bills are now out. A large list is entered including an usual numl>er of horses.

The public will bo pleased to learn that Miss Knight, of Gadsliill pianist and vocalist, has decided to give music lessons in Wellesley.

At a meeting of the Stratford Presbytery, held on Tuesday,it was decided that the Milverton and M ill­bank churches were now able to be­come individual charges, and that Zion church, third line, and Boyd church, Crosshil, be united into one charge. Their pastor, who is soon to be called, is, we understand, to be made resident in Wellesley.

The great Alpine Yodlers, of Ba­varia, will give an entertainment in the Opera House, Wellesley, on Saturday evening, March 29th. A Wellesley man happened to meet the advance agent o f the Great Eastern Lyceum Bureau and was offered this Troupe for this “ o ff” night—a Saturday—which happen­ed to be open. Needless to say, the offer was snapped up. Posters and full particulars in a day or two and

tion. The stock boar, Woodstock Brave, is a good spocimen, bred from imported stock. Borne sixty head are to be found in Mr. H ill’ s pens, and as he feeds nothing but pure-bred Yorks, the fancier who calls on him is sure of a treat. A convenient feed cooker is in oper­ation in the hog stable, which is constructed so well that though several litters of young pigs have been born through the winter, not one of the little ones has been chil­led to death.

Two years ago Mr. H ill built a fine brick residence close to the v il­lage, which has been fitted up with every modern convenience, and here the ladylike hostess makes the visitor doubly welcome.

CHRISTOPH SCHELTER DEAD.The oldest resident and the earli­

est settler of this village passed away on Monday afternoon in the death of Christoph Schelter in his 88th year, from old age. Ho came here in 1840, bought and cleared the half-acre lot upon which he died and it is said that he has never spent a night out of tho village dur­ing all these 56 years.
