The Manager The Grey Bruce Fire Insurance Company, Hanover, Ont. Dear Sir, I have just received cheque from your Company for $1690.10, being payment in full for my claim for loss of barn and contents recently destroyed by lightning. I wish to thank you and the Directors of the Company for prompt and satisfactory settlement and payment of my loss. Yours truly (Sgd.) William J. S. Andrews, Durham, Ont. The above is a copy of a letter that has been recently received by the Grey Bruce Mutual Fire In- surance (30., Hanover, from one of its Policy Holders who sustained a heavy loss through his barn and contents beiing destroyed by Lightning. It shows very openly and clearly how promptly and lib- erally the “Grey Bruce” deals. with its members. There is no greater appreciation of this fact than to receive a letter such as the above, which is not the only one 0! its kind that the Company receives at different times. Prompt Payment of Claims Garafraxa Street Durham - Ontario V C ‘.v vv w-- It seems that Mr.” Campbell with his only white companion, Mr. Poole, had been working in the locality of the attack for two weeks during which time the natives treated the expedition well. All went satisfactory until it became necessary for the party to erect flags and beacons to mark the limits of the ground. Un- fortunately for these. and especially small white cloth flags which were planted among the native crops, aroused the superstitious fear of the pagans, who regarded them as O “jgju” against their farms. Warnings were given as to'tho threatened danger, but apparently these were not regarded as serious. Suddenly one morning two old pagan chiefs arrived on the scene, throwing earth over their heads, a proceedin which it was thought, was irtende to indicate that the visitors should go, as the people were getting out of And British Expedition Takes Sum-E mary Vengeance on Cannibals. Further details hi the recent attack by pagan cannibals in Nigeria on a British mining expedition and the murder of Mr. Campbell, the Scottish prospector in charge, have been re- . oeived in London. ' A .- As soon as the news of the outrage reached the British Resident, punitive measures were taken, and all the vil- lages implicated were destroyed. There was no casualtiw nn the Brit- ish side apart from a few arrow wounds, but a large number of na- tives were killed. It is not expected that there will be any £ur’her trouble. ' By 200d luck Mr. Poole, who was wounded, reached his horse, but Mr. Campbell missed his and was shot down by innumerable arrows. A few days after his body was recovered and buried. A correspondent of The Times, sign- ing himself “A Friend of the Donor,” calls attention to the fact that the avestone at Brompton Cemetery of r. John Jones, who died in 1882, and left to the nation his collection of works of art, now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, bears no record of his munificenc-e. Thinking it a propriate that an inscription should €16 placed there by the museum authorities, the “Friend of the Donor” saw the di- rector on Oct. 10 last year, who re- ceived the proposition with sympathy. “It has taken.” continues the “Friend of the Donor, ” “from that period to June 20 for a decision to be arrived at. and the following is an extract from the letter: Definite news on the point is want- ing, but it is probable that this action was wrongly explained by the inter- preter as merely being a native form of salute. In any case, the chiefs re- tired. and in a few minutes the ex- pegiition was qttagked. “The Board of Education have had under consideration your suggestion that they should cause an inscription commemorative of the benefaction to the Victoria and Albert Museum of the late Mr. John Jones to be placed on his tombstone in Brompton Ceme- tery. I am directed to state that, while they sympathize with your proposal. . . . they regret they cannot comply with your suggestion that they should record their appreciation of the gener- osity of Mr. Jones by means of an in- scription on his tombstone.’ “No reason is given. The cost would be about £13, and, as mentioned, the gift is now valued at £1,000,000!” Snuff taking was practically un- known in England until 1702. In that year Sir George Rooke burned the French and Spanish shipping anchor- ed in the port of Vigo and sacked the town. Besides large quantities of bul- lion and jewels, his booty included fifty tons of the finest snuff, which was brought to England and thrown on the market at a very low price.

The telegraph plant of India has‘b method all its own for catching the sunshine. Each of its leaves is com- posed of three leaflets. The larger terminal one erects itself during the day and turns sharply down at night, while the other two smaller leaflets move constantly day and night, de- scribing complete circles with a pecul- iar jerking motion like the second hand of a watch. Occasionally they rest for a period and then go on again, thus bringing every part of every leaf to the full action of the sunlight. A very unusual kind of sportsman- ship was shown by the Maori chief who was taken prisoner by the British after a hot engagement. His captors were talking to the man, and one of them asked him why he had not cap- tured the British provision and am- munition trains a few days before, when he had a chance. The chief gave a loud, scornful laugh. “You fool!” he cried. “If we had stolen your food and powder how could you have fought us?” Speaking at Church House, London, the Archbishop of Canterbury said central south London, coniprised with- in the bend of the Thames, formed the largest area of practically. un- broken povert; in the British Isles.

ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT IN| DISTRIBUTION OF SEED GRAIN THE GRAND TRUNK SERVICE. AND POTATOES FROM THE ‘ EXPERIMENTAL FARMS. The Grand Trunk Railway Sys- tem, realizing the importance of passenger traffic in the district ‘ north .of Guelph some time ago improved its service by the inaug- uration of a new fast train be- tween Palmerston and Toronto,‘ which is one of the most perfect that has been operated to Ontario! Points. A further improvement has been made by. the Grand! 1 I Trunk by the addition of coaches of the latest design. These have just been received from the builders. They are specially con- structed for smooth riding, and afford all the latest facilities to make the journey pleasant and safe. The coaches have a wide vestibule~ and are furnished in mahogany, while the body of the coach is upholstered in dark green plush. A handsome smoking comâ€" partment is also provided, beautiâ€" fully upholstered in green leather. These coaches are 76 feet long. with six wheel trucks, similar tol those used on the Pullman cars, and have a seating capacity for l E75 passengers. They are illumin-l ated with Pinstsh gas. This hand- * .some train stops only at the prin- cipal points between Palmerston and Toronto. Leaves Palmerston at 8.25 a.m., with direct connec- tions from Durham, Owen Sound.

To further in- crease the facilities for serving the travellers, the train carries a cafe car, serving meals a la carte.
