lire counterfeit colns are imitations of the 1937 aindt 1938 Canadian quarters. The coins give practically the same "ring" as a genuine coin, but the surâ€" face is slippery as if coated with a thin covering cof oil. There have been reâ€" céir? recorts of cousterfeit five, ten and twentyâ€"five cent coins being passed in Toronto, and it is thought at Kirkland Lake that the bogus ccins are being brought from Toronto and distributed in Kirkland Lake and other Northern certres. Eo far, it is not thought that many of them have gotten into circulaâ€" ticn. It might be a good idea for all to keep a special lookout for these bogus coins and if any of them show up here, notify the police at once During one stage of the ceremony the door is opened and an invitation exâ€" tended to all th:se who are hungry is intoned. Opening of the dogr is symâ€" bolic of the nops that among those who enter will be the prophet Elijah, for whom a cup of wine has been filled. It is a custom among Jews to make certain that no one ‘of the Jews in their community goes hungry at the Passâ€" over. _Hands are washed at table after the reading of the first part of the Hagâ€" gadah. This is symbolic of the luxuries which were denied the Israelites during the period of their privation. Then begins the actual feast. Spscial services will be held in the Timmins synagogue throughout the Passover season. Service will be held tcmorrow eveninz and again on Wedâ€" At the Passover table each person has a copy of the Haggadah, the story of the Exodus, so that he may follow the story and relive the troubles througn which the Israelites lived while advancing from Egyptian slavery to freedom. The Kiddush is the first ceremonial act at the Serder table. In this the head of the house recites a traditional praver of ‘thanksgiving, blesses and tastes the first cup of wine. Then does the Rabbi break the ceonâ€" tre of the three Matzoz cakes; a piece of the centre cake is hidden and a prize awarded the finder, In the centre of the table is an unbroken lamb bone, reminder of the lamb offered as sacrifice at the first Passover; an egg, symbolic of the rebirth of freedom; parsley, emâ€" blematic of springtime; the Charoseth, a mixture of almonds, apples and cinâ€" . namon, indicating the mortar with which the Israelites laid bricks while slaves in Egypt, and the horseradish orâ€" bitter herbs, reminding those who eat it of the bitter trials suffered by the Chosen People while under bondage. Each peorson is given a piece of Matzoz on which is placed Charoseth and a bit of horseradish, who eats it after blessâ€" ing has been said. It is the duty of the voungest memâ€" Counterfeit Quarters Reported at Kirkland It is the duty of the youngest memâ€" ber of the hsusehold to ask four tradiâ€" tional questions, the first of which is: "What is the difference between this night and all other nights?" The four answers are as follows: "On all other nights we eat leavened or unleavened bread:; on this night only unleavened. On all cother nights we eat various herbs; on this night only bitter herbs. On all other nights we cat our meat roasted, boiled or stewed ; on this night only roasted. On all other nights we dip the parsley with which the meal begins, into salt cnly once; on this night twice." AIY Reciting a prayer of thanksgiving, the Jewish mother plays hner part in the ceremony by lighting the candles which usher in the feast of the Passover. acih. Though the Passover begins on April 23, the Jew considers that the day ends and begzins at sundown not midnight so the giving of the Serder, the Passâ€" over supper, will take place tonight in thousands of Jewish homes. The supper is fiied with symbolism. Whien the Israelites departed from Esypt they took with them unleavened dough which they baked under the sun. Consequently, Matzoz, made from dough bearing no trace of yeast, salt or other "leaven" or agent of fermentaâ€" tion, is symbolic of the Exodus. First custcm before the Serder is the removyâ€" inz of the Chometz, in which the head of the house, with a candle and small trush made of newlyâ€"plucked feathers, removes all traces of leavened bread frem the Matzoz.

According to the nowly appointâ€" ed Industrial Commissioner there have been some 4,000,000 tons of lignite blockeda cut, which is covered by overâ€" burden of an approximate depth of fifty feet. The lignite can be burned without further treatment and is rated at over 5,000 b.t.us per pound against 13000 to 14,000 of the average coal bumed in the north, which on first glance showys that it will give a little more than oneâ€"third the heat derived from the same quantity of coal. Mr. Nixcn said it was the intention of the authorities to equip cne of the T. N. O. engines to burn lignite, which would probably be mixed with soft coal and that the T. N. 0. Railway would in all probability be the major consuâ€" mer Oof the newly mined product, but if it was found that it could be hanâ€" dled profitably other outlets would be suught.

Lost Opportunity to Sell Her Photograph for $265 In The Advance twenty years ago there was a lengthy report of the reguâ€" lar meeting of the Timmins town council. One of the chief items before the meeting was the matter of bush fire menace around the town. The councii made it plain that they looked to the government to have this danger to the town removed. Mayor Mcinnis urged the necessity for keceping at the government until the dangerous bush section around the town was removed. The council also had a petition, signed by practically all the residents of Rochester townsite, asking to be anâ€" nexed to the town. The mayor suggestâ€" ed that it might be a good thing to have a petition also from Montta so that the two townsites might be annexâ€" ed at the same time. Councilior Longâ€" more pointed out that several Moneta pecple had spoken to him about that townsite being annexed to the town and he had explained to them that the council could do nothing until there | was a petition from the residents,. J. T. ; Easton called the attention of the council to the fact that the Protestant cometery was not laid out in sections and subâ€"sections. Several sdad been enquiring about the purchase of lots and there were also several bodies in the vault that would soon have to be buried. He advised that the town see about securing the burying ground, its proper survey, etc. Later, the Rev. Fr. Theriault also referred to the appeal being made to all the municipalities of the North ifor assistance to the hospiâ€" tal at Haileybury. This hospital since | 1910 had given excellent hospital serâ€" vice to the North and all would agree, he thorught, that all the towns of the North would consider it a calamity if lack of finances made it necessary to close this good institution. One of the biggest burdens the institution had to carry was the bad debts. There wore patients from all over the Nortn Land and some of them could not pay and others neglected. Patients from Timâ€" mins totalled about $1400 in this way. The council premised consideration though the mayor pointed out that the finances of the town had to be closely watched in the interests of the people.
