With the advent of Daylight Saving there commences a new era. Incidently perhaps, it is to herald this new era that Daylight Saving-a phrase which seems to illustrate how the economy of the government has penetrated even into the world of nature-was invented, in view of the deplorable scarcity of cuckoos that might take upon themselves the task of loudly singing "Summer is icumin in." However that may be, the Vagabond, last Saturday, having seen in the papers that this great invention-which has done more for sharpening the mind of the nation than cross word puzzles and "Ask Me Another" combined was about to be put into force again, decided to be a bit beforehand and improve the shining hour-and his physical well-being by undertaking an excursion up the silvan Charles.

This walk along the cross-country track as far as the first bridge above the Lars Anderson, has always been a favourite one with the Vagabond-but it should be avoided when the ground is soggy or the wind is blowing form the southwest over the abattoir. Perhaps it was because neither of these desiderata obtained, or perhaps due to the proximity to the Mt. Auburn Cemetery, that the Vagabond was set to musing on the eternal brevity of all things in general, and the period between then and his examinations in particular. But the sun shone too brightly and the breeze wafted too softly for such morbid reflections, so that suddenly what with the spring and all there flashed into his mind-one of those inspirations for which the Vagabond is famous-a line of what might, with judicious help of the riming dictionary, be a poem: "If April comes can May be far behind." It had a familiar ring; the vibration, he thought which shivers through all great poetry. But no, its ring was too familiar; he had heard something very much like it before. And then he remembered-and both his poem and the beauty of the day were blown away in a particularly nauseous blast form the abattoir. The moral being that there are disadvantages as well as gains in vagabonding.

Notwithstanding, the Vagabond offers the following list of likely lectures to his readers.
