Boat
Shirt Waists
Boat Capsized.
On Tuesday evening Mrs. Currie,
two of her daughters and Miss Clegg
were standing near the mill race, when
some boys came along with a boat and
asked the girls to go for a ride. The)[
consented and when about to land cn
their return, one of the young ladies
stood up in the boat, and the two
others leaned over at the .same time.
The result was that the boat upset,
and the three young ladies were
thrown into the water. Mrs. Currie
stood op the shore and with her as-
sistance and that of the boys, the
young ladies were safely landed.:: As
the water was very deep, it is fortu-
'niite that 'none of them -Were AroWneil
We fancy they were thoroughly soak-

The following item will be of local
interest, as the pastor (Rev. W. R.
Geddes) was formerly of East Wawa -
nosh :—The Presbytery of London met
at Ailsa Craig on Monday evening,
when Rev. J. H, Bruce, B.A., Toronto,
was ordained to the ministry -and de-<
signated as a missionary to Ronan,
China. Mr. Bruce took a high, stand-
ing in his academic course, being a
graduate of Toronto University and
Knox College. He has for some time
been assistant to Rev, Dr. McTavish,
in Central Church, Toronto. The rea-
son of the ordination being held in
•Ailsa Craig lies in the fact that the
,joint congregation of that place and
Carlisle (Rev. W, H, Geddes, pastor)
has recently decided to contribute $500
annually for five years toward the
support of one of the missionary can-
didates who' had offered for service.
The foreign mission committee wag
highly pleased with this proposition,
oonstdering the strength ofthe congre-
gation, and at once allotted the above
named gentleman. In the raising of
this fund no canvass was made, but
instead subscription cards were issued
to the members, with a short explana-
tion of the proposed plan, which had
previously been snbmitted from the
pulpit, with the approval of the joint
session. These cards were returned,
with the above result. The pastor
asked the people from the start to
make the effort a matter of prayer,
believing that apart from the
direct result, the congregation would
receive a spiritual benefit. This fund
will not represent the total missionary
givings of the congregation, being for
a special object.
5th Anniversary.
A number of friends of Mr..and Mrs.
U " .B,siitt:iott 'gathered' ut their reai-
•dence on Tuesday evening to celebrate
with them the fifth anniversary of
their wedding day. A pleasant even-
ing was spent, and tangible expres-
sions of regard accompanied kind
wishes for the future. Mr. and Mrs.
Elliott's many friends hope they may
be spared to celebrate many happy re-
turns of the anniversary day.

Mrs. Reading (nee Miss Isa Gordon)
of El Pasco, Texas, has been taking a
trip through Southern California, in
company with the fancily of the Super-
intendent of the railroad, in whose
service Mr, Reading holds a responsi-
ble position. While in Pasadena Mrs.
Reading called at the business place of
J. Herbert Hall (son of ye editor). and
she gives a pleasing account of her
visit, the cordial reception accorded
her, and the fine shop and elegant
optical parlors of which Herbert is
proprietor. Mrs. Reading speaks high-
ly of California. and regards Pasadena
as a most delightful city, The flora of
Southern California is one of its pret-
tiest features, and Pasadena may be
termed a veritable garden of beauty,
It is a tourist city of about 32,000 in-
habitants. They have recently built a
new Methodist church there, costing
$80,000, and furnished it with a $10,001
pipe organ. Hotel Green (owned by
Mr. Green of patent medicine fame)
cost over a million dollars. It stands
on both sides of a fine avenue, and the
two parts are connected by an elevated
covered archway across the street.
Electric cars run through the hotel
and convoy the guests from their
rooms to the dining -room. Mrs. Read-
ing reports a delightful trip through
far-famed California. The writer has
always had a longing to trip it west-
ward, see the golden grain -laden prai-
ries of the west, of which the poet
wrote. --
"I behold them for the first, and my
Heart swells, while the dilated sight
Takes in the eneircling vastness.
Lo 1 they stretch in airy undulations,
far away,
As if the ocean in its gentlest swell,
Stood still, and motionless for ever."
Then beyond the prairies, to cross the
Rocky mountains, see the gorges, can-
yon, glacier, snow-capped peaks and
the vast Pacific ; then turn southward
to the land of the orange, lemon, fra-
grant spices and flowers. So far, this
treat has not fallen to one lot. If it
does, wo promise the readers of the

The Storm Came.
It is interesting to note the verifica-
tion of the monthly weather predic-
tions of Rev. I. Hicks of St. Louis, the
astronomer. In his July forecast he
said—"The central Vulcan storm peri-
od for July covers from the 15th to the
20ti1, being central on the 17th, the
day Saturn is in, opposition to the Sun;
we may therefore expect notable dis.
turbances from the 10th to 20th." Now
for the verification ---On the 17th occur-
red the cyclone in eastern Ontario,
that did very ser•iolis damage in Dun-
das county. Five persons were killed,
several others severely injured, and
the damage to erops and buildings is
estimated at $200,000. In Iowa and
other States along the Mississippi rain
and consequent floods caused damage
estimated at ten million dollars. In
one section eleven thousand acres of
crop 'were submerged to the depth of
seven feet. At Baltimore, a tornado
killed thirteen persons and injured
scores of others. Fortunately, we es-
caped the very destructive elements in
this county, but a three days' rain
storm made farmers feel anxious about
hay and standing grain. There are
worse places than Iluron county, and
not many more free f;otn widespread
disaster.
In some reports on the Ontario crop
outlook the cotnparative absence of
the potato bug is commented on. This
farmers' pest, starting from Colorado,
made its Way eastward and reached
Canada in the summer of 1872. It
made itself very touch at home, and
soon gave the farmer new cause of
worry. It is probable that trillions
have been spent in keeping it down,
to the incidental benefit of the Paris
green industry. If it is dying out
there will be many a thankful farmer
in the land,

sionary society,Archdeacon Lofthouse,

Keewatin, remarked that his diocese
would include an area four times that
of Great Britain and Ireland. He as-

In the township of Sullivan there
are two German congregations, viz.,
St,. Peter's and St, John's, who have
erected fine churches and comfortable
spbstantial ministers' residences and
outbuildings, and it can be said to
their credit that while holding social
gatherings they have never held a tea
meeting or social or other gathering
for the purpose of raising money for
religious or church purposes.

The decease of Mrs. Proctor, which
was announced in last week's issue,
takes another of the old landmarks
away. Mrs. Proctor survived her hus-
band about two and a half years.
They were among the first settlers in
Morris, and made valuable homes for
themselves and family. Mrs. Proctor
was a kind Christian mother and an
obliging neighbor, and will be very
much missed by her four surviving
sons. The funeral was the largest
seen for some time.

At a point 145 miles north of Toronto
on the Grand Trunk Railway System
is reached one of the most magnificent
districts in the Highlands of Ontario
and which has been named by many
world wide travellers the "Switzer-
land of America." The region is known
As the Lake of Rays district and com-
prises a series of connected lakes, over
which large steamers are navigated.
What greatly adds to the Lake of
Bays value as a health giving and
sporting resort is the unmatched purity
of the air one breathes upon its heights.
The cranky grumbler, unless he is to
confined dyspeptic,forgets his ills under
its reviving influence in less than a
week, and sees life's problems in a
smoother light if he only has the sense
and capacity to enjoy the good things
in this life which Nature and Provi-
dence have prepared for him. The
whole region is placed high above the
level of Lake Ontario, and its bracing
morning breeze which rivals the cele-
brated atmosphere of Pike's Peak,
Col., imparts new lung power and fresh
vitality.
