HORSNYDER, 152Paciflo .Ave., Santa Cruz, Cal., writes: When a girl at school, in Reading, Ohio, I had a Severe attack of brain fever. On my recovery, I found myself perfectly bald, and, for a long time, I feared I should be permanently ao. Friends urged me to use Ayer's Hair Vigor, and, on doing so, my hair Began to Grow, and I now have as fine a head of hair as one could wish for, being changed, how- ever, from blonde to dark brown." "After a fit of Sickness, my hair came out in combfulls. I used two bottles of Ayer's Hair Vigor and now my hair is over a yard long and very full and heavy. I have recom- mended this preparation to others with like good effect."—Mrs. Sidney Carr, 1460 Regina st., Harrisburg, Pa. "I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for several years and always obtained satis- factory results. I know it is the best preparation for the hair that is made." '--C. T. Arnett, Mammoth Spring, Ark. Ayer's Hair Vigor Prepared by Dr. J-0. ,Ayer & Co., Lowell, Maee. MY FIRST TRIP ON BOAT AND SHIPWRECK, (By a Hullett boy) Left Albert College, elleville, at 5:50 a.m., and walked quite briskly down to the wharf, so that 1 would be in time to board the steamer Magnet, which was due to leave at half -past seven a.m. • Arrived at the dock sharp at seven, there to wait four long hours, because she was three and one-half hours late. Oh ! how long the hours seem to a per- son waiting for the train or boat, and I can asssure you that these hours were no exception to the rule. I would walk around, then read for a while, finally I stretched myself upon one of the benches in the waiting room. In this way those long hours passed. The Magnet left at 11 a. m. The day was beautiful and warm, with prospects that we were going to have an enjoyable time, as the lake was very calm, with the wind blowing softly from the south east. Leaving Belleville, the scenery was beautiful, passing by Massassaga Park, which is a summer resort, but at pre- sent it looks somewhat deserted, on account of the visitors having Left before we passed by, it being the latter part of September. After passing this park, I noticed here and there a small Island or islands, which dotted the Bay of Quinte, showing forth the wis- dom and handiwork of an all -wise God, in nature. Then gliding along— every- body enjoying themselves—for about an hour. we arrived at Northport, which is a small hamlet. Its appear- ance is clean and healthy, and would be a very nice place to live. Just here occurred one of the things that go to give strength to man, namely, thy first nasal on beat. The dinner was served in good style, showing ,taste and apt- ness. The cabin passengers first, then the crew,' with the exception of the captain and purser, who dined with us. Sailing along, the next place that we called at was Deseronto. From all ap- pearances it is a busy town, of abcut 4,000 inhabitants. After leaving here one of the many objects that greeted us was a small island, which was a summer resort, being a very pretty place. The shore alonghere is very broken, and the island, should judge from its appearance, would be a fruit growing district. Time is going on, it is now 3 p.m.,we are at Picton, the capital of Prince Ed- ward county. Every person is in a bustle, seemingly its inhabitants are a business people. I was told that het population was about 6,000. The town is situated on a nice elevation, a good deal like Goderich, in that respect. The lake -has now lost that nice gentle ripple that was on her surface when we started. The gentle wave is now growing into a boisterous wave, which is still larger and more fierce. Passen- gers have now lost that genial smile, and are wringing their hands and say- ing, "How rough the lake is." Just at thee• moment there came a sound like music to our ears, telling us that sup- per is now ready. Then there is a rush to our berths, to leave our wraps, so that we may partake of a sumptuous repast prepared by the cook, who un- derstands his business. After supper I put on my overcoat and walked out on the deck to view the water by twi- light, but the lake becominmore boisterous, I did not remain long on deck, because the boat was rolling so much that it was very hard to walk, however, I succeeded in gaining the cabin, going to my cabin, and Lying down until we reached Kingston. Here the water Was so rough, and the boat rolling so much that I thought I would go ashore, where I was greeted with wind and sand filling my eyes, etc. Well, I assure you I did not like that kind of reception, so I went on board again. By this time my stomach was not in the best of humor, so I thought that the best thing I could do was to go to bed. I did so, had a splendid aught's- rest, and got up just as we were entering Prescott hai'ber. The morning was all that one could wish for, and we left here about 7 a.m. on Thursday. As we elided along, viewing such beautiful st enery (be- cause the river St. Lawrence is jetted with beautiful little islands) I was led to exclaim, "How wonderful is the God\ of the universe !" We ran two Small rapids, the water looking very A igry, .yet a& the same time beautiful The next place that we called at was Morrisburg, a town situated h a very nice place; the site being n'n elevation With a slope down to the wharf. From what I could see it was clean, and the -people seemed to be full of life and business. While in this port the steamer Cuba passed us, not calling at all the ports that the Magnet did. Leaving thele at half past eight, we ran along nicely, gaining on the Cuba, but just as we caught up to her, she entered the Cornwall canal, in order to miss the long Sault Rapids, but we kept td the river. 1 noticed that now there were four men at the wheel, one of them being a poollot, who got on at. Kingston; it, was his work to bring the boat through the rapids—an expert, you see. We were now entering the Long Sault Rapids; all eyes; were fixed upon the angry waters. some persons turned rather pale and left the deck for the cabin. We entered beautifully. but alas 1 just as we did so the boat catne"down with a crash upon a rock, almost stopping the boat for an in- stant. We were not over the rapids, when I noticed a , note go up to the captain. Strange to sav there was not much panic among the passeneer s, but, seemingly, they had not seen the note,and the captain go down. If they did, it did not dawn on them that any- thing was wrong. But I knew that something was not right. Turning to a passenger, I said that there was a hole in the boat, and he said, "don't say a word." Then, in a few minutes the captain carne tip to the pilot and said they would have to "beach"' her. On hearing this news, the passengers began to realize their position, and feared whether they would reach land or not, but find a watery grave. As for myself, I tell you there was a strange feeling passed over me, but lifting my eyes toward heaven, offering a silent prayer to an all powerful God, a peace came to me, because I knew my Father was at the helm. Through his goodness we were safely beached at 10 a.m. of Thursday, Sept. 6th. All the lives and cargo were safe. After dinner we were told that the vessel Passport would go by at 2 o'clock; and take us on board, which was good news. Betwen 2 -and 3 o'clock she appeared in sight, and every heart beat high, in expectation that she would relieve us of our present position, but, •alas! she did not. Now there was an- other tune sung—contempt. How soon people can change; instead of being thankful that they were safe, they were grumbling. We spent the night tied to a tree in New York State. On Friday the weather was clear sunny, so after breakfast we went on shore. Then someone suggested that we walk to the nearest post office, which was about three and a -half miles distant. Ott we started, our company consisting of two newly married couples, who were on their wedding tour, a com- mercial traveller and his wife, from London,two ladies from Bethel,Quebec, three Montreal ladies, and myself The nearest post office was Messana Centre, and we had a pretty jolly time going there, crossing fences, bridges and fields, and passing jokes with those whom they met. We passed two or three creameries, where we got some milk to drink. This looked as if it was a dairying district. We reached the post office, wrote to our friends, and started hack for the Magnet. We were fortune,.te - enaugh_,ta._pet a._ ride- back. ideback. While we were resting after dinner. we saw a small steamer coming towards us, with our pilot on boar standing in front of the wheelman. We left the Magnet at 4 p.m., after being tied up some 20 hours, and ar- rived at Cornwall ata quarter to five. The river St. Lawrence is very wind- ing, and full of small islands and rocks. We were used well, both by the crew and the Americans. ALEX. RAPSON. A PRINTER'S ILLS. A BRANTFORD COMPOSITOR HAS DIABETES— HE DROPS 40 POUNDS IN WEIGHT IN A SHORT TINE—How HE WAS CURED.

THE VAI,ITE Or 114INQTES, A party of ladies and gentlemen were lately visiting a large carpet manufactory, and the manager took them over the different floors of the establishment. On ascending one of the staircases they came to a locked door, on which the following inscrip- tion was painted in white letters:— 'Strangers not admitted under any circumstances." . The curiosity of the ladies was ex- cited to a high pitch, and they enquir- ed, almost in one breath, "Whatever is to he seen inside?" "That is one of our workrooms in which one hundred and fifty women are employed in ern broidering carpets.," a nswered the manager. "Ohl how we should just like to have a peep at them!" exclaimed the ladies. I am sorry I cannot comply with your wish," said the gentleman, with a shrug of his shoulders, "hut our rules do not admit of the slightest except ion. Truth to say, there is nothing special to be seen, nor is there any question of trade secrets. The reason why ad- mission is forbidden to strangers is simply because every woman natural- ly looks up, and her attention is dis- tracted from her work for from one to five minutes, Supposing, now, each woman wastes a couple of minutes in this way, that will make in the case of a hundred and fifty women a loss to the firm of three hundred minutes, or five hours, and we cannot allow that."
