NOTES.—.A. mistake occurred in the names
of our Idissionahy collectors as given in THE
EXFOSI'OOR last week, It should have read
Miss Dundas and Miss Ree, the latter young
lady being daughter of Mr. Thomas Roe, one
of th.e pillars of the Methodist church, and a
gentleman who is foremost in every good
work.—Mr. John Rae had a good wood bee
on Thursday last; he got a, big lot of wood
cut. There was a Iarge social gathering at
night made up of the youths and maidens
of the neighborhood.—ltfr. Andrew Crozier
has returned from Dakota; he will probably
remain here during the winter.—Mr. Wm.
fludie is drawing material with the inten-
tion of erecting a. new residence on his farm,
near Leanbury.—Mr. Tomlinson, an elder
of the Latter Day Saints, is billed to hold
meetings in this section of McKillop during
thepresent week.—Mr. Jones, the genial
-
hotel keeper at Lea,dbury, is doing a good
business; the hotel is required,and he is the
right man in the right place.—Judging from
the amount of diversion to be seen this win-
ter, the low price of wheat andth.e failure of '
apples does not appear to have much effect

—Early last Sunday morning the barn on
Mr. John Durm's farm, near ingersell, was

All his winter's feed, lad year's grain and

A Straight Shot,
-, The Congressman Was telling stories. -
'
"It was on me once," he said ; I had a
riend who was dry as a humorist, but not
always dry as a drinker, and when he was
full he,did foolish thinh gs. One of these was
to buy a jackass for $500, and when he sob -
red up and knew what he had done, he sold
him- 'bac& to the original seller for $400.
Naturally the loss of a hundred made him
Sore, and he did not like to be twitted about
it. One day limey him on a. mule waiting in
front of a store and spoke to him. He was
just full enough to be serious.
"Hello," I said, and he responded with a

—A most daring attempt ahhighway rob- 1 "No.I ain't."
bery occurred at Ailsa Craig last Friday
night. Mrs. Shannon, wife of a Grand
Trunk Railway employee, when returning
home from shopping and while within a few
yards of her own door, was set upon by some
person unknown and thrown down. An at-
tempt was made to take her purse out of
het pocket. Mrs. Shannon being an able-
bodied woman was able to thwart his pur-
pose long enough to allow assistance to am,
rive. The robber was chased -by a dimple of
young men and would surely have been cap -4
tured, had there not happened to be a freiglek
•train drawing out of the station yard, on
which he jumped. Although the news Wae
wired ahead, no trace of him could be found,
He is described as a tall man with a long
overcoat and fur cap. Mrs. Shannon had
her purse in her muffe or he would have had
it .sure. She received no other harm than a
terrible fright.

The Destruction of the Firot
Lighthouse on Minot's Ledge,1
The Lighthouse on Minot's Ledge stands
within the shadow of a tragedy. It is the
second structure erected upon the . led&
The first lighthouse and the lives it he
were claimed by the sea. Begun in 184
and completed in November,- 1 , , it was
overwhelmed in April, 1851. Its destruc-
tion was -the most tragic event in the his-
tory of our lighthouse establishment. The
structure was an octagonal tower supported
upon wrought -iron piles strengthened by
braces. The piles penetrated five feet into.
the rock. On the braces, thirty-four feet
above the rock, the keeper had constructed
a platform for the storage of bulky article,
and had fastened to the lantern -deck, sixty
three feet above the rock, a five -and -a -half
inch hawser which he had. anchored to it
seven ton granite block. Along this hawser.,
articles were hoisted up to the platforhe
and there- landed. These improvemeritts
Were convenient—and fatal; not, howevfr,
to the keeper who made them, for he *as
on shore when the storm which has tje
come historic for ,its fury burst over the
coast.
On Monday, April 14th, 1851, there *as
a strong easterly gale blowing. At that
time there were on the tower two assistant
keepers and a friend of the principal
keeper. The visitor became frighteued
at the first indication of a storm, andi,' in
response to a signal from the tower; a
boat put off from Cohasset and took him
ashore.
On Tue:sda,y the wind swung round to the
northeast, the most dangerous quarter from
which the elements ean hurl themselves
upon Minot's, as they then rejoice in the
accumulated fury of miles of wind -torn h.ea.
By the 16th it had increased to a hurricane,
and the tower was so completely buried in
the heavy seas that nothing of it could be
seen by the group of anxious watchers at
Cohasset.
About four o'clock in the evening of the
16th the platform was washed ashore. Then
the watchers knew that the water had risen
to within sevenfeet of the tower. At night-
fall it was seen that the lightwasburning.
It was observed at fitful inteivals until ten
o'clock- that night when it was finally lost to
sight. At one o'clock on the morning of
Thursday, April 17th, just at the turn of
the flood, when the out -streaming tide and
the inrushino "hurricane met at Minot's, a
violent tolling of thelighthou se bellwas heard.
After that no sound was heard above the din
of the storm. About Six o'clock in the
morning a men walking along the shore saw
a chair washed up a little distance ahmiht of
him. Examining it, he recognized it, as
having been in the watch -room of; the
tower. After this discovery no one had any
doubts of the tragedy which had been en-
acted behind the curtain of the storm.
When it lifted, naught was seen over Minot's
Ledge but the sea, its white crests streaming
triumphantly in the gule.
"Didn't you buy a jack for $500 not long
ago?"
• " The crowd that had gathered giggled,
and he looked more serious than ever.
"Yes, Ldid,' he answered solemnly.
"What did you do with him?' I asked
with a wink at the crowd. to be ready.
"He looked at me soleinnly.
"1 helped. elect him to Congress,' he said
without a smile, and the howl that went up
made Me seek shelter in the nearest place
that could be found."

i
It is believed by those -competent to jedge
of such matters that the destruction Of i• the
tower wat due to the surface which the plat-
form constructed by the keeper offered tto
the waxes, and to the strain of the hawser
upon the struoture. Every time the 'haw-
ser was struck by a sea it actually taigged
at the tower. There seems also little doubt
that the sum appropriated by Congress ,rfor
the building of the lighthouse was insuffi-
cient lin about two-thirds for such .a
structure as the perilous situation called for.

Forestry in Germany. .
The forests of Germany cover 13,Mf0,600 •
ha. of ground, that is, .25.7 per cent of the
total area of the Empire; this amounts to
0.28 for every inhabitant. According to. the
.owiiership, we may distinguish forestiand
beknging to the State arid the Crown, 32.7
per cent ; to various communities, 16.2 per
cent ; endowed institutions, 1.3 per Cent ;
societies, 2.5.per cent ; • and private indi-
viduals, 48.3 per cent. The forests are
stocked to the extent Of 65.5 per cent With
evergreens, and 35.5 per cent with deciduous
trees. The individual varieties of timber
are represented in percentage of area cover-
ed as follows : Firs'42.6 ;- pines, 22.6 ;
larch, 0.3 ; beech, 14.7 ; birch, alder and
aspens, 3.3 ; tan -bark oak, 3.1 : copse; 3.1 ;*
and -young forest. 6.5. The most prevalent
variety is, actordingly; the fir, which occu-
pies more than half the forest area of •Peessia,
and nearly half of that of the German Em-
pire. In German .forestry two methods "of
procedure in propagation are used. In the

soft soap, and rinse well. Take one-fourth
of a pound each of salt and ground alurn,
and one-half an ounce of borax ; dissolve in
hot, water, and add eulficient rye -meal to
make a thick paste, which spread on the
flesh sfde of the skin. Fold it lengthwise,
the flesh side in, the skin being quite moist,
and let it remain for ten ore fifteen days in
an airy and shady place ; then shake out and
remove the pante from the surface and wash

tion for two weeks, then rinse thoroughly

Just
a. Word About Our
Custom Department
If you are bald or grey, or if your hair is :thin or faded, don't miss this
chance. As the Professor has a large number of places to visit this season,
his stay is positively limited to the time advertised. He has proved by the
thousands who patronize him, that by the use of his coverings a more refined
expression, a more youthful and greatly improved appearance can be secured.
FOR LADIES—He has a large number of new styles this season in
Bangs and other coverings, especially his new patent Bang without lace foun-
dation, more natural in appearance, stronger, lighter and more thoroughly
ventilated than anything ever before offered in Canada. Wave Bangs, Plain
Frontpieces, Wavy Fronts, Switches and Braids in all lengths and shades, full
and open Wigs, of curlyestraight, long or short hair.
GENTLEMEN—See the grand styles in Toupees and Wigs. If you are
bald or partly bald, the Professor can fit you so exactly that it is impossible
.to distinguish from the natural growth of hair. These goods are worn by
12,000 of the gentlemen of Canada. Why not by you?
Ladiee, don't fail to ask the Professor how to secure a pure, clear Qom-
plexion, and how to remove tan, freckles, wrinkles, etc.
