SEAEORTII, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1
1897.
'me NEW A?HRODITI.
Out of the deep sea stream,
Into the light and the air,..
Rose like a graeious dream
Venus, : the fair
Row match of sorrow and rue,.
Sow much of Joy end peace,
Sprang that day from the bine
Waters of Greece!
Oh, front a C: elad's verge
Or swift gal'ley's prow to have eesn
Her, the world's wonder, emerge.
Veiled in the: sliefAn
Of her glorious sea dripping locks,
Buoyant of limb and as bright
As the sol: star that leads out the•Socka
Of the sitephordess Right!
But what avails it to sigh
For a giie ase: of that:daywithdrawnl
Not for loi n the sky
Stays the fair dawn.
Oars the nobler lot
Under the broad noontide,
Gazing, to falter not,
Till from the wide
Ocean of tiro we behold,
Rising in splendor and might,
Fairer than Venus of old,
Capperthan Night,
Purer than Dawn or the blue
Depths of ether untrod,
Natures, the only, the true
Daughter of God.
—W. P Trent in Dial.
WITH THREADS OF METAL.
Tinsel Fabrics and the More Costly- Bro-
cades of Gold and Silver.
Tinsel fabrics are the lower priced of
the cloths into which gold or silver
threads have been woven. In tinsel fab-
ric* the gold threads are of brass or cop-
per, gilded, and the silver threads are
af' white metal. These threads of metal,
originally fine wire, are rolled fiat rend •
burnished, and they glisten in the fabric
wherever the pattern brings them to the
surface. Tinsel fabrics are made about
three-fourths: of a yard in width, and
they sell at 75 cents to $2.54 a yard.
They come itt various colors, and many'
of them are beautiful and artistic in de- ;
sign.. Some are copies of old Venetian ,
tapestries. Tinsel fabrics are used for ,
church and for theatrical purposes and
sometimes for gowns and. for decorative I
purposes.
The costlier fabrics, with interwoven
metal threads, are called gold and sil-
ver brocades. In these the gold threads
are elf silver, gold plated, and the silver ,
threads are of pure silver; the body of '
the fabric is of silk. The brocades are a11:
beautiful, and many of them are ex- ,
ceedingly so. These fabrica are made
about five-eighths of a yard. in width,
and they sell at various prices up to $25
and sometimes as high as $50 a yard.
The costliest of these fabrics are very:
rarely imported into this country, bro-
cades at $IQ and $12 a yard being about ,
the highest priced used here. If more ,
elaborate fabrics are required, they are
usually imported to order. The finer
fabrics, with metal threads, are made
in Prance, the commoner kinds in Ger-
many.
er-
many . .
Gold and silver brocades are here
used almost exclusively for church pur- 1
. poses and chiefly for vestments. They s
are imported in red, violet and green
and also in black with silver threads,
the black and silver beiug for mourning.
Gold and silver brocades are also used.
to a limited extent for deeorative pur-
poses.
Such fabrics and gold embroidery, •
often of the costliest description, are far
more commonly used in Europe than
here, both for church and 4or military
purposes.—New York Sun.
-- Pulman Cars.
As a railroad train was swinging
around a sharp curve a passenger in the
sleeping car was thrown against the in-
side window of the stateroom so vio-
lently that his elbow went through the
glass. The Pullman conductor came
promptly to the rescue, asking if he
Was hurt. .
"No, I'm not," answered the passen-
ger good naturedly, "but the Pullman
company's dividends will be cut down
this year by the price of one pane. I
suppose the stockholders can stand it,
though." kk
"The Pullman. stbokholders won't
have to," said the conductor. "It comes
out of the X., Y. and Z. Railroad coxn-
pan=v, to whose train we are attached.
I shall make out a damage slip, the
train conductor will . certify it, the re-
pairs will be made at the end of the
tcute, and the railroad company will
ot the bill. There's mighty little, I
tell you, except ordinary wear and tear,
that the railroad copany doesn't pay
for. If there is a scratch on the side of
this car at the end of a run, the X., Y.
and Z. pays for it, not the Pullman
company.—New Torii Tribune. ,
Calmness In Emergence,
Dr. Weir Mitchell, lecturing to a
ecboo1 of nurses lately upon the neces-
sity of self control in emergencies, told
the following incident: "One of his pa-
tients, while in a low, nervous condi-
tion, swallowed by mistake a dose from
the wrong bottle. She shrieked out that
she was poisoned. One of the nurses
',creamed 'Aconite!' and began to cry
hysterically. The other nurse, .seeing
that the patient was going into convul-
sions from terror, when relief would be
impossible, said coolly: `Don't be fright-
ened. Look here,_' taking a mouthful of
the dose herself. She then went outside
to rid. her mouth. of it, procured an
emet;o and sent for a doctor and a stom-
ach pump: Her calmness saved the life
of the patient."
CLOTHING STAR
Its Reasons, Its Principles,
Its Prices.
Since the inception of our
business, we have steadily in-
creased that method of doing
business which tends to the
increase of all business, nalle-
1y,i the method of selling as
nearly as possible FOR CASH.
Singing and Milking.
In Switzerland a milkmaid or milk-
man gets better wages if ;gifted with a
good voice, because it has been discov-
ered that a cow will yield one-fifth more
milk if soothed during the milking by a
pleasing fnelody.
The Missouri supreme court declared
that the law against opium smoking
an opium joints is uncontitutional, be-
cause if interferes with the right cf
men to smoke whatever they choose.
We have never refused a
reliable man credit, nor do we
ever intend doing so. We
have some of the names of the
most reliable men in Huron
on our books, and we are glad
to have those names, because
we know that the amount
charged against them is as
safe as a bank, and can be had
for the asking.
Ona store is, we think, to-
day one of the most complete)
if ikot the most complete,
f
clot.ing - stores in Western
Ontario.
Here we . sell everything
in the way of clothing that a
man or boy may desire to
wear. We do not forget that
the perusal of an advertise-
ment of this size consumes
considerable time, and to the
man . who really desires to
know what we are doing, the
quicker •we proceed to the
quoting of our prices the bet-
ter he will .be satisfied.
It may be mentioned, how-
ever, that in making use of
this larger space this week,
we are merely occupying your
attention in a manner and for
a length of time that will be-
fit the volume of stock we are
this year showing. As far as
possible, we will let the illus-
trations speak for themselves.
Our first reference will be
to figure No. 1, which displays
a style of Overcoat greatly
worn for Spring and Fall. We
have these in Meltons, Beav-
ers, Serges and Cheviots ; the
prices range for good coats
from $6,50 to $12 ; at *8.50
and 10.00 vier show coats that
are really models of nice work.
Nes
Next in order comes the
double .breasted Dress Over-
coat, the materials of which
are of Melton, Beaver, Scotch
Grey Serges and twill tweeds.
These goats also range in
price from $6,50 to 12,00, the
intermediate prices being $8,
9.00. and 10.00, Any one of
these coats are warm and
weighty, making a comfort-
able winter overcoat, being at
the same time light enough
looking to .permit of its use as
a light overcoat.
Figure No. 3 is a style
familiar to everybody -- the
Double Breasted Ulster.- This
style we have sold more of
than any other in • past sea-
sons, and we feel assured that
the same welcome will meet
it this year. - Next to a fur
coat, it is the warchest over-
coat made. To enter :into a
separate description. of the
varied cloths we show in these
coats,; would take up too much
time and • space: We, how-
ever, may say that the coat
we show at $4.40 in a frieze
cloth --blacks and browns—is
the leader among the many
large values we offer ; -$4.40
is not much to pay for an
overcoat, and the majority of
purchasers will consider it
more profitable to: buy frieze
coats at higher prices. We
offer to these buyers an all -
wool frieze at $6.50 which is
nicely lined, left open at bot-
tom, double stitched edge.
Our other prices for all -wool
frieze overcoats are $7, 8.00,
10.00 and 1.2.00, the goods at
each price necessarily varying
with the difference in price.
range to $5.50, 6,50, 8.00-,
10,00 and 12.00. We make
very nice lines ourselves at
$8, 10.00 and 12.00 ; the cloth
are tweeds, worsteds and
Serges. The double breasted
styles for winter sell at the
same prices.
We next come to black
worsted suits (as illustrated in
figure No. 4). We show these
suits from $9 to $15, ready-
made
eadyY-made ; the cloths are Cash-
mere, Clay and Corkscrew
Worsteds, also Serge and
Cheviots. You are also given
your choice of Trouserings--
black and colored worsted—
and high priced tweeds of all
patterns,
Cut No. 5 depicts the con-
ventional style of suit gener-
ally for business or every day
wear, although now many are
wearing this style for better
wear, and there is no doubt
that it is the handsomest style
of coat made. We start these
suits at $4.50 giving you an
all wool suit, although some
prefer, when buying suits at
this price, to have some union
make of tweed, as they say it
wears better. The prices then
O
Figures 6 and 7 represent
two lines of clothnggreatly
sought after at this season,
viz,, Boys' Pea Jackets and
Suits, We carry a very large
range of Boys C1othingo the
prices of which we will riot
attempt to itemize. Pea jack—
ets range from $2.50 eto $5
Boys' Suits $2 to'$5.75.
While talking about boys'
clothing, mention should be
made of our t ovv�' . make of
boys' pants, selling at ; 50c,
65c and 75c. _'hese pants are
heavily lined, well. made, and
are perfectly, fitting, The time
and labor thus saved the
mothers of ro1liOking boys is
a point a great number fOf tvir
customers eppr€ciate.' '; f
We now revert to the Far Depart-
ment, which is of special interest.
We place before any intending pur-•
chaser of a Fur Coat at the opinion
of those who have p based from us
is. We guarantee ev ry far coat we
sell, and if by any mance - anything
goes wrong with your ' coat, we make
it right. The coats we carry are the
Coon, the king of all far coats ; the
Wombat, than which there is no
better wearer- ; the A stralisn fin,
which recommends itself on account
of its low price, is a every good wear-
ing coat.
In Fur Caps, we show over a dozen
varieties of fur in Persian Lamb, Seal,
Beaver, Russian Lamb, Coney Aus-
tralian Beaver, Woabat, Tasmania
Coon, Wolf and Siberian Goat. We
start prices in Fur Oaps at $2, and
these range to $10.
And now we arrive at the Furnish-
ing Department, the principal feature
of which is undoubtedly the range we
show in Underclothing. We show
you all sizes, prices and qualities. We
will attempt a short description of a
few lines. Of course, we have the low
piioed cotton and union lines`at 50c s
suit, but what we most urgently : set
before yon is the all -wool line at $1.
There is loqts of all -wool underclothing
at one dollar a suit4 but so full of
burrs and smell of grease as to be dis-
agreeable. Our one dollar all -wool
underclothing is free from all foreign
matters.
Then we come to the fleeoe lined
Underclothing in cotton and wool
fleecing.
The cotton fieecing Bells at one dol-
lar a suit, the wool al 2.00 and 2.liQ,
according to quality.1 _
Of the many other 'grades of under-
clothing, we merely ray we hays all
grades, and every lin'a is full value.
How do you find t is your boys'
underclothing Hard to buy j€€st
what you want ' Try us for boys'
long stockings•and underclothing. "
To here attempt a review of prices
itt all the lines of ,furnishing, would
occupy too much time.
Your attention is directed to the
Mitt and Glove Department. We
show here a glove a oil tan sheepskin
for 25c, which makes a splendid cov-
ering against the cold chapping winds
at this season ; may be used for . plow-
ing, etc. Our heavydriving and fine
dress gloves and mits start in price at
50e, ranging to lie, 85o, $1, 1.26 and
1.50, in horsehide, kid; moocho, calf
Iand buck, I_
Since the year i 77, Fownes Bros.,
of London, England, have been head
and shoulders above all the world is
the manufacture of fine gloves. it ie,
certainly, a great reputation. We
carry this make of glove in stock, and
while the price is high compared with
other gloves, ranging from $1.26 to
$2.50, we have never heard anything
but the high commendation for
these goods. f
Tea wind tap, we mention R,aints,
and Umbrellas. �egarding the first
item, when you buy a Raincoat buy a
reliable one, or do without. We will
guarantee any coat we sell.
