OBITUARV. —We regret to hear of the
death of Mr. Michafil Grittiii, 'yelhise home,
was forme.ly in this neighborhood. He was
in the Transfer Office of the Michigan Cen-
tral Railway, at West Detroit, for several
years, and died in that cityi on Wednesday
morning, the 22nd in.st. He had suffered
from consumption for a year or two, but
was always well enough to attend to busi-
ness, even up to a few days previous to his
death. He was only a few months -past his
2nd birth clay. He leaves a wife and two
children, who have the sympathy of all his
friends in this neighborhood.

Nores.—In the Gorrie news last week we
noticed an item about the base ball game
here last Week, saying "Had there been
better playing -and less sweagiing it would
have pleased the people better. As for the
playing of the Unions their record for the
past years is before the people, and we
think it is one of which they may justly feel
proud. In fact, few teams have such a
record. As teethe swearing we think it noth-
ing more than a mean slander on our boys.
It was the opinion of everyone, so far as the
players are concerned, that it was a quiet,
orderly and gentlemanly game. We un-
derstand there were some young fellows
from the neighborhood of Gorrie who- near-
ly 'fell into the hands of . our constable for
using what he considered rather forcible
adjectives.—People here are wondering
whose fault it is that we are so long with-
out a bridge. That yawning chasm is not a
desirable vacancy.—Mr. Anderson, a stud-
ent from Aberdeen, Scotland, preached very
acceptably morning and evening last Sab-
bath in the ,Presbyterian church here.—
Messrs. Thomas Rae -and R. II. Farlane
went to Milvertou on Tuesday.—Mr. George
Brown goes to Ottawa this week to resume
his duties as teacher there. He has caught
all the finny beauties that were ready to:
bite in this part.—Mr. James Fox, of Brus-
sels, spent Sunday with his friends hene.—
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Gibson have gone on
a holiday trip to Toronto, Niagara and
other places this week.—The Unions- of this
place will play a game of base ball with the
Crescents of Toronto, in Teeswater, on the
30th of Septembers—Messrs. Hamilton &
Sanderson shipped a car load of cattle a,nd
hogs on Monday.

BREVITIES.—Mr. Peter Gardiner, of Exe-
ter, returned home last week, after having
a pleasant visit with . friends here.—Miss
Mabel La,van, of Clinton, a former resident

that Mr. G. H. Hewson is again able to at-
tend to business, having recovered from a
few weeks' illness.—Mrs. F. G. Newton and

Southern, of London, who have spent a
most enjoyable summer here, guests at the
Queen's Hotel, returned home on Tuesday.
Misses Helene and Mary Rustin, of Detroit,
who were also at the Queen's, took their
departure.—One of the most enjoyable pic-
nics of the season was that on Tuesday last
at Crescent Park, the beautiful property of
Mr. John Esson, when a number of the
ministers, who are summering here with
their wives and families and friends, spent
a pleasant afternoon.
sembled at the Kings annual hall, his ma4
jesty astonished and delighted everybody by
leading his pretty Queen into the room. It
was the first time a King of Siam had appear-
ed in public with his honsort or in any way
recognized her as his equal. This particular
Queen, by the way, is the King's half-sister.
The Queen has an. English. tutor, and, like
ker late husband, she speaks English fairly
well.
The corm= report in Bangkok is that
His.Majesty has had 300 wives and 87 child-
ren. He was a father when he -was only
12 years old, and was only 41
when he died. A Siamese has one legitimate
wife. The others are subject to her will as
well ai his, and are properly classed as con-
cubines. The King's second Wives, as they
are called, attain, through their relation to
him, a certain rank or nobility. Each
is provided with separate apartments,
and her own servants. Each has
an ample allowance for her support. None
of them tem go outside the palace walls
without the King's permission. They are
guarded day and night by female police,whch
wear a distinctive uniform and no European
is permitted to enter the harem except the
King's physician and the wife of an English
trader,
who carries bric-a-brae and trinkets
ll
to sell the royal wive. On every Siam-
ese Sunday the King and his 300 'wives took
a romp in the -beautiful gardens within the
palace walls. It was easy for all Bangkok
t� know when the King and his goodly
family disported themselves in the open air,
for then the great wall was entirely sue-
- rounded by thousands of troops.
Next to the chief inmate of the palace the
white elephants, are,to the Siamese at least,
the most interesting Objects in Bangkok.
There are four of them in the palace
grounds. They are a sort of dingy yellow
in color, with some white spots, and are
called white only because they are so lunch
lighter than other elephants. These albinos
are exceedingly rare, and, as a goodly num-
ber of them in the royal stables is a sure
presage of a long and glorious reign, they
are valued above price. The late King was
lucky enough to have four, each of which
has a fine stable to himself and a retinue of
attendants. The King himself never came -
into their presence without making humble
obeisance.
It was the custom of the King to sleep
nearly all day, transacting__ the business of
the G-overnment at night and going to bed
about 4 o'clock in the morning.
The King .was small in person. His bodgi
usually was clad in gorgeous coat and vest,
heavily embroidered in geld and jewels, and
in place of trousers he wore the rich.bro-
_
caded surong of the Siamese about his loins
ancl waist, which eame down below his
knees at the front and looked not unlike e.
pair d falre7 tee was a
ileasant-looking fellow. Ills ohn-lalleWri
face was plump and unwrinkled. He had
beautiful, liquid black eyes, a broad, high,
and rather full forehead, and short,straight,
black hair.
The King of Siam was a Buddhist, and
was for some time a Duddhist priest, as is
the custom with -all men in Siam. Every-
one is expected at some time to enter the
priesthood, and this royal monarch, with his
millidns of treasure, the scores of wives and
his $10,000,000 a year, once shaved his head
and nominally gave up his crown and his
harem to wear a yellow cotton scarf about
his waist and to go fasting and praying.
The royal funeral must have been a gorge-
ous affair, for the Siamese make .a speeialty
of funerals. It cost $500,000 to cremate
one of the King's children a while ago. A
,specialtemple for the cremation services is
built for each defunct royal highness. The
temple is a very gorgeous affair, but it is
pulled down as soon as the royal clay is
reduced t� ashes. The ceremonies include
processions, music, the new King on his
gold chair, an iminense display of royal ban-
ners and mourning, and all the pomp and
circumstance needed to impress the event
deeply upon the people.
How a Siamese King Lives
Dispatches from Victoria, British Colum-
bia announce the death of the King of Siam,
and Her Majesty's ship Rattler has been dis-
patched to Siamese waters in view of a, possible
trouble over the succeasion.
The dead King was a cultured young man,
and handsome too, according to Siamese
standards of b:sa.uty. He was the ninth son
of Maha Mongkut, the last King of Siam and
was pieked•out of a family of 84 children to
be placedupon the throne. He leaves 31
half-brothers and 49 half-sisters. Although
he had never been farther away from home
than Calcutta, he was enlightened and pro-
gressive, and very popular among the peo-
ple. He was not, however, inclined to mix
with Europeans quite so freely as his old
father did for a time. No European, unless
a diplomat, could approach him except at
the royal receptions. When his Majesty was
in state attire he glistened from head to foot
with precious stones, worth over $1,000,000,
and his- conical hat, a solid mass of gems and
gold, weighs 27 pounds. He had to sit bolt
upright to keep the hat from tumbling off.
Before the late King ascended the throne
every Siamese had to crawl in the presence
of the sovereign. The young King abelished

!track, where it mounted a tree, and quicker
than it takes to tell it, the beast sprang at
him. Luckily it missed its mark, and land-
ed behind him on the track. After that he'.
does not know what became of the beast,
for Schoenau jumped, the fence and made
across the fields as fast as he could get, and
never stopped until he had run a mile and a -
half.

of the I. 0. 0. F. of Ontario,
and repre-
sentative to the Sovereign Grand Lodge

Ontario.
—Sorree miserable scoundrel wrecked a
binder which had been left over night in a
field oa the farm of Mr. H. Cassidy, con-
cession 4, Dereham township, Oxford coun-
ty. All the parts that could be removed
were taken away, the canvas cut, the reels
broken, and the machine smashed up gener-
ally, so that it was entirely useless and not
worth repairing.
—Mrs..Hardman and her tweelgiigeen, of 1
Listowel, met witle
Ayton, Gee Serious aeoltient at
y county, last week, where they
}deaa gone on a visit. The horses attached
to the bus in which they were leaving the
station, ran away, upsetting the vehicle,
and mote or less injuring the eight persons
in it at the time. Mes. Hardman and
her youngest child were both seriously
hurt.
—A.mannnoth pyramid of straw -was be-
ing built on a farm in Fullerton by one of
the noted stackers of the township, when,
just as the finishing touches were being put
on, all at once, and without warning, a
great part of the top slid down, taking with
it four men to the ground. Chief among the
number was the stacker, who managed to
crawl to the top of the pile and extricate
the others from their dangerous position un-
der the straw.
—On the 26th of April a cow belonging to
Mr. Robert Richardson, of Brant, had a
calf. There was nothing remarkable in
that. The cow went on giving milk, just, as
other cows do, and as is right and proper
ithat a cow should. do. That was all right.
The unusual circumstances in the conduct of,
the cow, was that of presentin,g her owner
the other night with another calf. These
calves can hardly be called twins, for one is
four months and a week older than the
order, and yet the usual order of succession
was not observed. The calves are both
strong and vigorous.
—The Greek church priest who went to
labor with the Princess Alix, has solemnly
announced that she is now soundly con-
verted to the true faith of the Russian
State religion, so that she will be fit to
manky the Czarowitz by September. It is
auchla comfort to have one's theology thus
on tap, so to speak, like the liquids in a
soda fountain, so that one may draw on it
or change it to order. Princess Alix's is as
convenient as the theology of the cook who
told a new mistress, "1 always changes my
teligion to suit the people I lives with." In
the case of Alix it was not her heavenly
crown that was so much at stake as an im-
perial earthly one,
—Parties getting off boats and trains at
Toronto, should be careful to whom they
trust their baggage. The other morning
when Mrs. George 11. Hees and her daugh-
ter left the boat at the Yonge street dock,
after attending the bell at Niagara -on -the -
Lake they handed their handbags to one of
number of young lads who bang about the
wharf, telling him to leave them at the office
of Mr. Hees, on King street west. The lad
said he knew where the place was, but so far
the bags have not turned up. They con-
tained boll dresses and other articles to the
value of over $60, and the ladies are very
anxious to recover them: The police have
been notified, but no trace has yet been had
of the boy or property.
—Aiigas company has built a tunnel un-
der the East river, in the Vicinity of Hell
Gate, fat the passage of gas froth Brooklyn
to NewhYork. It was blasted through pure
bed rock. The work was begun two years
a ee A Phan was sunk on each side of the
in Brooklyn and New York, and
work was prosecuted from the two sides.
So accurate had the engineering estimates
been that the two tunnels missed only 2 of
aeeinch from centering upon each other.
The tunnel is as flee piece of engineering.
But the question that suggests itself is this:
If a tunnel for gas pipes to pass through
can be built under the river between New
York and Brooklyn, why cannot the tunnel
be enlarged so that freight and passenger
cars can traverse it too?
—An important invention has been made.
It is one that kills grass and weeds by
electricity. The method has been adopted
by one of the Illinois Central lines to destroy
the grass and weeds upon its road bed. An
electric brush fixed to the bottom of a flat
car did the business. The grass killing
train traveled about five miles an hour, the
electric brush being at the front. Five
miles of weeds killed in an hour is not bad
business. Why could not the machine lig
adapted to the needs of the market gar-
dener and farmer? It can. Perhaps in the
not far off future the ruralist will sit in the
shade and work a trolley wire that shall
pass a little -machine back and forth, de-
stroying every weed between the rows in
his onion beds and cabbage patch. Why
cannot the Russian thistle be extirpated by
.electricity.
—The Montreal Journal of Commerce tells
of a Canadian farmer who has just returned
from Plattsmouth, Nebraska, and who says
that long trains of canvas -covered wagons
pass daily through that city eastward.
iThey belong to the army of settlers who
have been forced from their homes in
Western Nebraska and Eastern Colorado by
the unprecedented drought of the present
season. Many have no particular destin-
ation in view, Their sole object is to reach
some locality east of the Mississippi, where
they can eke out an existence until another
.season has rolled around, and escape the
hardships of a winter on the prairie. Since
this egod-us began it has been estimated that
10,000 people have left the state. At
Plattsmouth one day recently 300 wagons
were -waiting to cross the bridge. One man
who had driven from- Holyoke, Colorado,
said that along one stretch of road he drove
50 miles, passing a farm every half section,
and it was only at long intervals he found

nusual scene of heroism wasi wit-
nessed at Port Huron, Micligian, on the
afternoon. of August 14th, the act being the
terrible struggle of a mother again"st the
waters of the St. Clair, for the lives Of her
two small children, whom she had clutched
in one arm, while with the other she sup-
ported herself upon the oar of her capsized
boat. The boat containing Mr. ileorge
English, Dr. and Mrs. Ames anetheee
children, the eldest 7 and the youngest 3
years of age, all of Sarnia, capsized on the
river at the outlet of Lake Huron, opposite
Point Edward, throwing all the occapants
into the rushing waters. The husband and
oldest boy secured a hold on the boat, while
the mother, not so fortunate, grabbed hold
,of an oar with one hand, and by the use of
it successfully held her heacl above water,

Why the Guests Abstained.
Bishop Utterton's mother was a reinark-
able woman and inherited much of the vi-
vacity of her father. When she and her
husband -were at Gibraltar during the pen-
insular war, the latter was known to be par-
ticular about his shaving water. From his
friend, the Spanish governor of Algeeiras,he
received the sympathetic present of some
dozens of rainwater in bottles, which the
butler, thiuking it to be wine, duly took
charge of.
Sometime afterward the colonel gave a
dinner party, but at the last moment was
called off by official duty, and a brother was

Many People Thought that Mrs.
Reany's Recovery was only
Temporary—A Pleaant Disap-
ointment—She is Better than
er.
SHELBURNE, August 27. --When Mrs. Reany'e letter
appeared in a local paper here souns:time ago', giving
a history of her long illness and final cure of kidney
disease by Dodd's Kidney Pills,many readers thought

have been suecessfuliv contradicted, as a letter lately
received here from Mrs. Reany statethat she has all
along been gaining in general health, since her kid-
neys were restored to e eound state, and that for
many years she has not enjoyed stick good health
and spirits. Mrs. 'teeny, therefore, still. pins her
faith to Dodd's Kidney Pills and. recommends them
as strongly as ever to afflicted members of her sex.
