The most ancient crown in the Empire is now that of Scotland. When. OliVer Cromwell laid his icono- clastic hand on England’s throne he dt'StTOXCd her emblem of sovereignty, and the crown which King Edward Wears lS-0f Coin, .utively modern date. hot so that of the northern country. In Edinburgh Castle there. is guarded the regalia of Scotland, the crown dating back to the time of Robert the. Bruue in 1314, a. por- tion of it being indeed anterior to the days of the hero of Bannockburn. The crown is of handsome design, and is of pure gold, enriched with many precious stones, diamonds, pearls, and curious enamcllings. The lillct which goes round the head is adorned with twenty-two large preâ€" cious stones: the circle above has diamonds, sapphires and pearls; and the upper Circles has ten croSScs tlorec, each with a. great diamond betwixt four great, pearls. Four arches adorned with cnamcllcd ligurâ€" es meet and close at the top, surâ€" mounted with a mond of gold, the apex of the crown being a large cross patcc, containing pearls. The bonnet was of purple velvet, but in 1685 it got. a cap of crimson Velvet with ermine. The crown is nine inch-- es in diameter, 27 inches circumâ€" ference, and in height from the un-» dcr‘clrcle to the cross 04} inches. The mace is surmounted by a great crys- tal beryl, a stone. of vast antiquity, and it and part of the Cl‘u\\ll are be- lieV'ed to have come down from the early Kings of Scotlandâ€"the days of Macdufl and Duncan- King Robert the Bruce had alterations made to the crown, and thereafter nothing further was touched until James \7. caused the four arches to be added. It is especially identified with tht liousc of Stuart, and was the Jacoâ€" bite emblem of faith, T110 SCi‘l’U'l‘ is of hexagon form, LWO feet long. of silver double overgilt, and is loo-I lieved to have been made by James \"., and to include a portion of a much more ancient. rod.

H Tobucio bl’i-\I.H; i.- .rrl.uid. Mr. Wm. Redmond, the Irish M. P, in a recent interview said: "bir Horace Plunkctt, who owns a ranch out in the States, and goes there every year, will shortly return, and bring with him, I believe, an expert. to advise about tobaccoâ€"growmg in Ireland. The small experiments which have already been’madc prove that a certain class grows splendidly in Ireland. It. does not yet, Oil course, compete with the finer proâ€" l ducts of Virginia, but it has been demonstrated that with care and eXâ€" pcricncc it may be made a vary so} able article. The small experiments which have been made having provâ€" acres will now be tried. Sir H. Wills, the chairman of the Imperial Tobacâ€" co Co., regards the matter with be- nevolent interest, and the Chance!â€" lor of the Exchequer has agreed to give an abatement of one shilling per pound oil the excise duty on irish-grown tobacco. This year’s extensive experiments will take place in Mouth and chford, and I may remind you that it Was doIm there. at Youghal, where he lived, that Sir ° .3).

Fashion has again carried these materials up to the very crest of the wave of spring modishness. These fabrics have been worn in the earlier years but what the American Beauty rose is to the unpretentious wild rose the new fabrics are to those our grand- mothers wore.

And how magmanimously we fol- lowâ€"we too are slaves to beautyâ€"â€" and Canadian women with French women will be happy this spring of 1901 in Wearing hats a hundred and fifty years old; the hats of Marie Automit-te. Season after season the Wakely 8: Ford millincry business grows larger is doing better. It alumys plays a conspicuous part-â€" conspicu- ous because of elegance, the undefi- able essence that marks the hat, as the creation of genius; the air of Paris in the atmosphere of home.

The event is noteworthy and the Celebration is in every way worthy of the event. I! you have livcd in Lindsay a year and a half you have learned our methods and know us prettyde 7 But now and again through the year as the season's come and go, and nearly aluuys at the beginning of the Spring and the fall business we take the liberty of suinga few words to the interested public about the state of the business that has grown so rapidly by the mutual confidence that has existed be- tween the store and its patrons. The business is just a year and a half old, but in that lit tle time trade has come in fine big waves. untilnow it is one of Lindsay’s big busi- nesses. But its as simple as A B C. It must have been good to have grown it all in the face of splendid competition. It must have been better in some ways to have grown as no other Lindsay drygoods business ever did grow continuously, largely and solidly. But never_accredit the sucrxss of this 1 store to luck, it has grown through public appreciation of good retailing. Money is’nt everything but in a store it is the yard stick of successâ€"money as ex- pressed in sales. A store does not grow steadily, rapidly and continually, unless it de- 5::ch to grQV,‘WWm§ires - o O s. a magnifying g ing here. » So much for our past successes, now for tie future Remember this store has neither patents nor monu oply. Its success depends on service and value giving. If a business does not grow. it dwindlcs and adwiâ€" ndling store is about as interesting as a last year’s bird’s nest, We’ve put forth special exertions this season to see cure complete and well ch( sen assortments. There is forty thousand dollars worth of stock here await ing your criticisms and probable selections. Comparisons are not odious in comparing our goods and prices with others. We court comparisons. By buying and selling strictly for cash, in syndicate quantities and being satisfied with small margins of profit and quick turn overs, we an and do make prices that more than meet competition figures. W e’er not in a hurry to make moncy; we nevcr‘shall be. We’re not after your last cent. We’ll get money enough as a matter of course. But we do want your continued and deserved good will. Come on Thursday evening and enjOy, share and study about as your fancy dictates. A chorus of Am- erican Song Birds will provide delighful music and add pleasure to the occasion. T hats all.

There are over three thousand separate gar- ments valued at about (10) ten thousand dollarsâ€"a lot of money you sayâ€"yes indeed. But then some philosophic writer said that of the man who could build a house best, built even in a forest all mankind would wear a path to his door. Its so with the store that han- dles any branch of business best Look at the business centered in our rcady-to-wcar department. The business has not been beat- en by that of any other Lindsay store. Best, and “best” means so much, best styles, best’scrvice best returns for one’s money: leadership. While every women does not buy hereâ€"many being swayed by one reason and anotherâ€"few Lindsay women take any other store’s word on styles. The Wakely Ford endorsement is usually correct.
