WHOLE NUMBER, 1,661, SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, 1;t is all a Matter •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. VaAAAAWAAAMIAIYVNAAAAAAOW HIT TIME 110 DONE 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. 000100AAAAAAAAAMANYVYVVY IT ILL INTEREST RU*EI:S 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. reaswaveNyeaeaesysawsaWalsAlseW Greig & Maodollal Clothiers and Furnishers On the Wrong Side of the Street, SEAFORTII 8TRONG BLOCK, 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. ; "We made a sorry picture," ffitid Mize Hyrnan. "Half-clad, our hair , hanging, foes blanched, eyes peering fearf Ily into t e impenetrable fog, ears straine to catch e ere, sound from the ship, which e mom - e tarily expected would oink ,and suck us d wn with it. We were very miserable aid very hopeless. The tossing of the at made me sick—deathly siok.1I had o seed the ocean four times and never been seasick. I had prided myself on being a good sailor. It was humiliating. "We daren't attempt to land. The oaks rose sheer and we, should have been eshed to pieces. We were afraid to re- ain near the steamer, and we were afraid 10 f going out to sea. The suspense mu! errible and it lasted for nearly thirteen oars. I had ViBiOne of drifting away out sea and thought of the stories of oast - ways who had eaten each other. The ervous tension was so great that I lost the onsciousness of time. When we were #nally able to go back to She steamer 1 onld not believe we had been in the boat ore than an hour." Miss Hyman described the days and ights spent on the rook as simply one long ait, the monotony of which was broken nly by the serving of the scant rations hree times a day. Several steamers were lgnaled, but paid no heed. Mies Hyman aye the Pinemore must have seen- them, or Ise she ha.i no look -out. Miss Hyman and Miss Trekell, accorn- Panied by Mr. Matters and Mr. Green, who as lama, started to walk to the lighthouse, eventeen miles away. After they had one four or five miles Mr. Green fainted, nd Mr.'Matters stayed with him, the girls oing on alone. The walk was one long goner. ,They were bruited, faint for want f food, and their joints were stiff from old and exposure. The people at the lighthouee and the sailors' home were very kind, but provisions were scarce. "The lot of •the Scotsman's passengers aboard the Montfort was not much better han on the rock" said Miss Hyman. "In act, the cattle compartment,where we dept ith one blanket to every three people, was older than it was on the rock. One night he captain brought down a number of the assengers, and let them . walk around mong us as we lay there. We were one of he sights of the ship. I think what exas- erated us moat was to hear the dinner -bell, nd to know that the passengers were eat - g comfortably, while we were half- miehed.The crew of the Montfort were ery good. - The firet morning they gave up heir fish breakfast for us, and helped us very way they could. We took up a ollection and gave them Ell 15s. "When we reached Rimouski on Friday, ext to getting something to eat, I think I njoyed 'the chance to have a bath more han any thing else I shall always know ow to sympathize with the poor and thet hungry." , Mies Hyman, still bears marks of her Week's suffering and hardship. She is much saddened by the death of her friends, but makes light of her own experiences. She refused to . prosecute the prisoners, from whom some of- her rings and jewelry were recovered. "Everybody thought the ship Was going down," she said, "and you can hardly blame the rough fellows for thinking they might as well have whatever valuables they could get hold of as let them go -to the bottom of the sea. I saw none of the loot- ing, though my luggage was ransacked while we were out in the boat."
