•of Education
This knowing how and what to buy. Now for
sake of example, take your own case. It may be
that yau are a farmer. If so, what would be your
opinion of the man who, while knowing compara-
tively nothing about farming, would attempt to
give you pointers about the way seed should be
sown, ground tilled, etc.? Would you not, to
state the case mildly, rather smile up your sleeve
at his innocense ?
Well, as with yourself, so with the other occupations; so
with the knowing of what is right and what is
not right in the fur trade. There are a few men
who are judges of fur, but they are very few in-
deed. We think that we are in a position to give
people pointers on the purchase of Fur Coats.
T first pointer is, do not buy a low grade coat of any kind
of fur. By low grade is meant furs that are cull-
ings and seconds; you will always be mending
them.
have no intention of telling all we know about fur coats.
1 What we think is sufficient is, that we stand by
every piece of fur that we sell. Of course, it is
natural for a man to think well of his own. Well,
we find no fault with ourselves for so thinking ;
our stock justifies thissgood opinion ; see the same
for yourself. It comprises the newest in Ladies'
Jackets, Collars, Muffs, Storm Collars, Gauntlets,
Caperines, Capes, etc.

In producing specimens of fine work in the class
of readymades which have such a reputation as
our own make of -Suits and Pants. Five years
ago we started the making of ilreadymade goods
which we knew would give wear and satisfaction
We have steadily kept improving these goods,
until to -day we think that there is no better value
in men's suits—readymade—than our own make
at $8, $10 and $12, or the worsted short pant for
boys at 75c. Then, again, there is our own make
of Overalls, every one of which is sewn with linen.
The price for the Overalls is 85c, for the Buck-
skin Pant $1, and they are valu every inch of the
-goods.

Of Boys':,,Plothing that there is a decided change
in the manner of boys' outer clothing. Instead
of lumbering a child up with a long ovemoat,
which he eould not walk in, and which he usually
cried about putting on, the newest thing in fashion
now is the tidy Pea Jackets, with which they will
be warm, and yet able to run about and play in
without fear of cold; -we have all sizes and prices.
You may have noticed some in our windows.
Then there is the difficulty of buying the_ right
sizes in fleece lined underwear for boys; we have
the sizes for all ages; Among other boys' goods
are Hosiery, Mitts and Gloves, Russian Lamb
Caps, Braces, Ties, etc.

THE BLYTH SHOW.
The annual sho!Jv of the Morris Branch
Agricultural SocietY was held in Blyth on
Monday and Tuesday last. The Blyth peo-
ple were favored this year in thamatter of
weather, which is so all important a factor
in determining the failure or success of a
show. Tuesday, especially, was a delight-
ful day, and the roads were as good as they
could be, and the result was an immense
crowd, perhaps the largest ever semi in
Blyth. In fact there was scarcely standing
room in the bright little town, and the gate
receipts must have been very satisfactory.
And, it is not too much to say that the
show, in almost every department, was in
keeping with the erowd. The society now
have grounds equal to any , in the county,
and on which has recently been erected an
excellent half -mile driving track. As this
is an accessory which seems to be a neces-
sity to every show ground where the show
is to be a success, the Blyth people have
arisen to the necessity of the time, and on
Tuesday the contests on the, track seemed
to very fairly divide the attention of the
crowd with the other exhibits. The show,
on the whole, was one of . the most success-
ful ever held in Blyth, every department
being well Slled and competition keen. Mr.
MeQuarries, who has been the obliging sec-
retary of the society for a quarter of a cen-
tury, has retired from office, and his place
is now very efficiently filled by Mr. J. S.
Habkirk, and a better choice for so import-
ant a position could not have been made.

A Young Lady's Experience on
The Belle Isle Rocks. ,
Miss Edith Hyman, daughter of Q. S.
Hyman, of London, was a passengiar on the
ill-fated steamer, Scotsman. On: her
arrival at her home in London she was in-
terviewed by a reporter of the London, Ad-
Vertiser and gave the following interesting
description of her experiences: '
"1 feel as if my life began nly last
week. When I hear people co plaining
bout trifling annoyances, I am fi led ' with
onder. They seem so -petty in c mpariaon
, ith real Offering and hardship. '
I "Were you ever hungry—really and
truly hungry ?" she asked. And contin-
/led : ‘" I ras so hungry when we kot to the
lighthouse, that when they gave me a bowl
of soup and told me I might have it all, I
burst out crying. I had taken jtist a sip
from the biewl and was about to pees it on,
is we had !been used to do on th reek. I
ell
never felt so rich in my life as wen they
aaid I might have all that soup. Nothing
civer tasted half so delicious."
1 "If you want to try a man's real char -
deter," said Miss Hyman, sagely, "have
him cast ashore on a barren rook with a
Tot of helpless women and childreti, and not
enough provisions to go round. I'suffered a
great deal during that awful week, but I
learned some very useful lessons. ' I learned
that all the gentlemen were not among the
6rstailase passengers, and all the Orst cabin
passengers were not gentlemen. The un -
'elfishness, considerate kindness Said readi-
ness to help others shown by the ship's
officere, and even by members of the crew,
PO many of the saealled gelemen to
ham, Some of the latter were o ridicu-
ous. Mr. Westerton, of the "Sign of the
rose " Company, gravely , suggested the
econd night we vvere on the rock! that we
Elm be carefully divided into fleet, second
4,nd third cabin passengers, and kept isep-
arate. The same gentleman car ied Boo..
Boo, a lap -dog belonging to one o the lady
members of the theatrical comPany,i from
!
he rock to the lighthotiae, When half-
ainting women were struggling along with
abes in their arms. I have a grudge
gainst Boo -Boo," fetid Miss Hyman, laugh-
ing. "When the rest ef us could only; have
small piece of hard tack, Bob Boo , mut
have a whole biscuit . and while we shiv-
red in our scanty /*thin , Bo -Boo was
eomfortably wrapped in a b itnke ,l, r
Speaking of the conduct of sone of the
row, of which so much complain has been
ade, Miss Hyman said the men mong the
aloon passengers outnumbered t ern ten to
ine, and could' have made them behave if
hey had cared to. The statement that the
rew were armed was not true. They were
boisterious the first night, becaueei they had
'seen drinking. Nobody could blame them
very much for that, either. There was
i!ilenty of liquor, little or nothing to eat,
and it was very cold. The next day • these
1 ame men worked like beavers bringing up
rovieions from the wreck. .
Several of Miss Hyman's intimate friends
ere in the first boat launched aftor the
Lcotaman struck. They were drowned.
ies Hyman was urged to get int e the same
boat, but refused, because it was , over-
irowded. She was the first to enter the
econd boat.- There were 26 woMen in it
nd only three men. There --was a dense
f g and a, heavy sea. They had no provis-
1 ns whatever, One lady had al flask of
randy, which was given to the Men who
I
r wed the boat.

Miss Hyman and Miss Trekell, accorn-

lighthouee and the sailors' home were very
kind, but provisions were scarce.
"The lot of •the Scotsman's passengers
