The fallowing is at description of the dark day which happened on Friday, May 19th, 1780, taken from the Fr - Triers Almanac for 1815, _printed by C. Norris and Co. :- "The circumstances and appearan es which marked this methorable day, were as near as can be recollected, as follows: The morning exhibited nothing remarkable except a thick smoky at- mosphere and a pale glimmering of the eastern sky, about eight or nine o'clock smoke and clouds obscuredthe sun, be heavens assumed a brassy appeara.4e, something like that of the moon when it is totally eclipsed. About ten or twelve o'clock a gloomy, melancholy darkness involved all terrestrial° bjects ; the birds and beasts repaired to their retreats of night, consternation and horror seized the minds of mortals alact the solitary and deformed sky micht Beem to portend that the final dissolu- tion of all things was near. The da !k- neas was so great it was necessary Ito light candles in the houses. The da k- ness and; brassy color of the sky contin- ued with little alteration forthe rema,n- der of the day .a.nd the night was as re• markably dark as the day." - A Famous Farm House. Perhaps there is not in the Province of Quebec, or the Dominion of Cana- da another home such as we propose describing. In the township of King- sey, on the banks of the St. Francis, in a very pleasant situation, with beautiful Surroundings, stands a comfortalple though unpretentious farm-steadi On this farm have been reared t families in succession of ten children in each. Of these„ during thelast 27 years, there have been qualified two doctors, two lawyers, also ten teachers, some of them with academy, model and ekrentary McGill diplomas; two others have taken courses at St. Francis C°1 - lege, and there are yet four of the 3rOUllg- est tO hear from. ' g. 0 Here was written S. Carsley's prize tales, "The Three D's," " Dishonest*" " Disgrace," " Death," and other mat- ter of merit. Nothing pleases us more than the success of our farmer friends, wham we are always pleased to me t. ' We are aIso pleased to see so many of them in high positions in the cit es and towns in the Dominion. No mat er in what position we find them they look back to the days when they "pa.idlt i the burn," and "ran abcot the braes." Perhaps at times they hid hard work, but they now know that it helped to: fit them, for the "battle of life." And haw often while telli, g tales to the prattlers, or gazing in t , e embers of the midnight fire, do t . e thoughts steal away to the forest, to t • e fields, the brook, to the sugar making, to old Dobbin and Jessie, the colts as .they stand by the plow- furrows, to the Sleek coated oxen with the big hay cart, to the Corn field and the husking. Again they hear the tinkling of the Ow bell, and, yes, father is there; again jhe is opening the gate and mother, d ar mother, is again standing in the dooriof "Their Childhood Home. '-Sherbrooke Examiner. • About Lumbering. . An outside estimate places the total lumber output of Manitoba camps dur- ing the past winter at 45,000,000 feet. The Winnipeg Free Press says there is no daubt that the output this year, is considerably in advance of previdus years and the prospects for the SUITIII er business are fairly bright. Mr. 0. E. Comstock, of Arnprior, is reported as saying that the past season has been very unprofitable to the lurn- bermen. The snow has been so deep that it was impossible to get the logs out and many thousand feet of valuable timber will lieFin the woods all the sum- mer,simply bemuse it could not be moved. Many of the lumbermen who -- had engaged their men by the Week sent them home early in the season. The loss will amaunt to a good round figure, and many of the lumbermen will be almost stranded. 1 In many parts of Canada, says an eX- Ortnge, the timber growing upon the land is specially adapted to the manu- facture of such pulp as is used in the manufacture of paper, and as a subSti- tutc for lumber in the in umfacture, of furniture and other articles. From 40 to 120 cords of this timber is the aver- age yield per acre, a.nil the pulp, by mixint4 with clay, steatite, asbestos, plumbago, mica, etc., can be made: to amine every possible color, and is adaptable to a great variety of uses. I A novel building has been established in St. Paul, Minnesota, which gives promise of very profitable results. It is the manufacture of a fire -proof building THE HURON g XPOSITO R. material, termed terra cotta lumber, made of a peculiar clay, formeel into bricks into which sawdust is Mixed, the whole then subjected to an intense heat which bakes the clay, but burns the saw- thist. The bricks, when completed, are filled with little air cells, which, being conductors, constitutes the. fire-proef qualities of the material. It is readily cut i(rilit; any shape with edged tools, And plaster con be laid directly upon it, without the use of laths or studdina. In some of the great will estallish, ments of the west, six foot drat -jar saws are run 760 revolutions to the 1111.131Itth Running at 760 revolutions to • the min- ute,- the teeth of a silt foot sa,W are travelling nearly three miles a - minute. Six-foot saws have been driven fa as high a rate. as 880 revolutions to the minute. In Michigan, a few years ago, a Canadian company geared up its mill to run a six-foot saw 850 revolutions to the minute. A saw mill at Paducah, Ky., which had a 76 ineh saw and steam feed, cut one day 10,751 feet of 1 inch poplar boards in about 70 min- utes. In this trial the sawmade no sawdust ; each tooth tore out a strip of wood about one quarter of an inch long. Michigan sawyers have boasted of a mill dropping 16 1 -inch 16 -foot boards a minute, but this seems like an exag- geration. -Boston Budget. i • Catarrh -a New Treatment. Perhaps the most extraordinary success that has been achieved in modern medicine has been attained by the Dixon Treatment for Catarrh. Out of 2,00 patients treated duriug the past six months, tully ninety per cent, have been cured of Ms stubborn malady. This is none • the less starteing when it is remembeted that no five per cent. of patients presenting themselves to the regular practitioner are benelitted, while the patent medicines andother advertised ;cures never record a cure at all. Starting with the claim now generally believed by the most scien- tific men that the disease is dae to the presence of living parasites in the ttleataa Mr. Dixon at onee adapted his cure to their extermination- ehis accomplished, he claims the .Catarrh' is prae- tically cured, and the permanency is unquestion- td, as cures effected by him four years ago are cures still. No one elSt has ever attempted to cure Catarrh in this manner, and no other treat ment has ever cured Catarrh; The application of the remedy la simple, and can be done at home, and the present season of the year is the most favorable for a speedy and permarientoure, the majority of cases being cured at one treat- ment. Sufferers should correspond with Messrs. A. H. DIXON & SON, 305 King Street, West, Toronto, Canada, and enclose stamp for :their treatise on Catarrh. -Montreal Star, Novembe 17, 1889.1 882-62 Few men have accomplished the same amount of work and good in this wand ad the celetirated Dr. Chase.

RPORT -OF THE cONFEDERATION LIFE ASSOCIATION Theclose of the year 1886 completes the THREE qui aquennial periods of the Association's exis- tence, and the results, from whatever standpoint viewed, afford striking evidence of true progress. It is therefore with a large measure of satisfaction that the Directors meet the Policyholders and Shareholders in the Firm en Annual Meeting . With evidence of success unequalled in the history ofICanadian Life Comps lee! It has continued to be the aim of the Directors to secure business at reasonable rates, an hence they have avoic cd the extravagance in that direction which too strongly marks the struggle for pre-eminence betveen Life Insurance.Companies. A. safe busi. ness, on well -tried lines of insur nee, has been sought • r, and therefore all merely specious plans, which, in the opinion of the Di eaters, are certain to prove delusive, have been avoided. The adoption of such plans and a les conservative course i caring for the Policyholders' money, would have .led to a largely increased v lune of business; but if that course had been adopted, a less satisfactory balance sheet and a dedreased surplus well d have been the result. Dune the year (including 12 re assurances far al 3,250 front the Life Association of Canada), 1,919 applications for a total ass raoce of tee,977,100 we e received. Of these, 1,812 for $.2,794,100 were approved, and 107 for 8183 (00 were declined. jt should be mentioned that these -results re- present ohly ELEVEN months' verle, and yet, as com ared with the full year 1885, the ELEVEN months' wprk shows an increase of 427 accepted applice tions for 8,497,062 of insurance. 1 No att.-re-or evidence than t e Above can well be of ered, of the appreciation by the public of the Vda.e.advatitages afforded y the Association's ih standard of security, and liberal terms and result, combined With only mind plans of. intura ice. At thelelese of the year the egister shewed the ael owing busipess in force: • 493 policies on 8,476 lives, for 814,679,474 of asatranee. 1 in the matter of the re-assuresiees front the Life ssociation, and the cm .deration allowed for the sane, the Directors might he charged only a art of the expenses of the- year, carrying the balance to some such account a " Commuted CCM nissions " ; but such a eourse would have been contrary to the -Practice of this Company, and Wht le apparently increasing the sutplus would division, and therefore the consideration d balance sheet will readily compensate foe le, calling for a85,948.85, which includes on 49 lives. This fact sufficiently attests 1. be observed that the interest received •ubmitted herewith. It cannot fail to be a to note the rapid growth in volume and g INCREASES on the thawing at the close of have been entirely worthless either as a security or for was charged in full to the expenees Of the year.

In.the opinion of the Direct is, the time has arrive 1 when the rate of interest used in calculat- ing the policy liabilities should -he reduced front four a id one-half per cent., to.four per cent. The large hicrease in the Reserve, amounting so nearly tie 8.00,000.00, will indicate how fully provision has been made for the future :payments, which areal re to be required. So thoroughly has the necessity for ABSOLUTE safety been eealized by the Boa d, which, in the face of the greatly reduced , rate of interest now (and likely to be) obtainable on fir teclass investments,' can only be assured by reducing the assumed rate of interest, that they have de ermined to hold a large sum ahdistributed. Larger profits to the po1icyho1deis at the present thee aiuld be but a poor compensation for a pos- sible ability to mei e, at an earl ,' day, for the greater li bility which will be occasioned by the Gov- ernment compelling 'the assumilion of four per cent., in calculating the Reserves. The Directors mean to be prepared, and will th gefore hold for the p irpose and for unforscen contingeneies the sum of 61,364.46 undistributed. It wilLbe a cause of satisfaeion to the policyhol e s, to learn that one-half of the ten per cent. 8 going to the shareholders, for the past Quinquennium 1 as been given up, as a further proteetion to the policyholders, being include r in the 061,364.45 SO pecially reserved. This gives, practically, ninety-five per cent. of the profit of the Quinquennium to the policyholders. The Confederation Life has done the Canadian pu ic excellent service in leading up to a mea- sure of liberality on the part of t e life companies strik ngly in contrast with what prevailed before it was deenied advisable to come up to its standard. his Association still maintains its . place the in fil b'm th e seen froe Baa ce Sheet that the 'at m of 8260,420.50 has been allocated to the yIatni • . policyh Iders. To this should b added 810,239.78, whi h has been paid out as Interim profits;mak- ing the total probts to the police holders for the last AN e years 8270, 660.28, more than double the profits for the second Quinquenn um. . 1 p This result cannot fail to rove ,m e satisfactory, the ore especially as so -large a proeision has been made for all -contingencies inder the special amoant held as undistributed surplus. It has also been decided to b ing the amount paid on the new shares up to ten er cent., mak- ing the old and new alike. Thai will be done by declaring a bonus of 82 per share, and calling in $4 on the new shares. This bon s Will be declared out of the shareholders' surplus and will make the paid up capital 8100,000, whi h will still further strengthen the security of the policyholders. The Directors felt that the t ire had arrived for the creation of an Actuarial Department, and on the recommendation of the M ridging Director, it has been organized. The valuation of the Policy rid, Annuity _obligations has been made by Mr. D. Parks Fackler, the well-koown Actuary, of ew York. His eertificate will be found appended to' the Report. • . . , The chang-e decided upon la yetax in regard to the quingur ynzial period goes into effect in 1887, and in future the date of the iss e of the poliey will determine its quimmenniat periods. Policies sharing say four years' profits no e m ill, on the settlem nt of the premien, for 1888, become entitled to the profits for 1887, the fifth year cif the policy. P licies in force for longer or shorter periods l i will shuilarly become entitled to profits in 1889-90, &c. The directors have had the i - sufficiency of the pres nt office accommodation forced upon them by the rapidly growing businest, and have eoncluded t at the time has conic when the Company should posdess a building of its o vn. They have tried o purchase a suitable site but endieg that impossible; have leased for. a pertod of 42 years with th right to reeew in perpetuity, the site is on the North East Corner of Yenge nd Richmond Streets. It is proposed to proceed to Build as soon as may be prudent, and have thef building ready for oFe patio!) before the expiry of the Leas e of the present offices. The Directors have pleasure in referring to the; c ntinued diligence and faithfulnest of the , Officers an Agency ,Staff. All the,.Directors retire, but , re eligible for re--eleet on. J. K.
