not son white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
iustre, and grateful perfume.

Death Of the Rev. william Ellis.

Recent English newspapers announce the death
Of this Apostolic Missionary His early mission
airy labors we're IN theSSouth Pacific at Tahiti,
where he gathered the materials for really the
best book ever written upon Polynesia He
entered upon his labors there in 1917, over fifty
five years ago. In consequence Of his wife's
sickness he left the South Seas, and Joined
the American Mission on the Hawaiian Islands.
Here he labored from February 9Th, 1923, until
August 1924 Most heartily did be enter into
the work of assisting to reduce the Hawaiian
language TO a written form. The early Misslona-
RES are frequently heard to speak of the valuable
assistance which be rendered. He also wrote
several hymns, which have always retained their
place IN our native hymn-books. From Homo
lulu he proceeded to England, via America, where
he spent several months preaching and lecturing
On his return to England, he was engaged IN
preparing for the press his great work, " Polyne-
sian Researches" Subsequently he became one
Of the Secretaries Of the London Missionary
Society.
When advanced to nearly sixty years of age
he entered upon the delicate responsible and
arduous work of an Apostle to the Island o.
Madagascar. He made four visits to that Island
from 1853 to 1868. His labors we're abundant
in behalf Of that people but most cheerfully he
accomplished the great work Of completing the
translation Of the Bible into the Malagasy Ian
guage, besides performing many other duties in
their behalf He was not only Missionary, but
an eminent Botanist Often have heard Dr.
Hnlebrand refer with much interest to this de-
partment Of science, after reading Mr. Ess
book, entitled, Three Visits to Madagascar
Mr.. Ellis was a great worker in various depart
ments Of science and literature. In 1897, he
married the eminent English authoress Miss
Sarah Stickney whose books Women of Eng
land, and Daughters Of England" &c, have a
worldwide reputation.
Mr. Ellis died Sabbath morning. June 9th, ut
his residence, Rose Hill Hoddesden England. 1t
was my privilege in the autumn Of 1869. to visit
his family and TO be entertained in real English
Home, the centre Of refinement, culture and gen
erous hospitality. On entering. we were vel.
coined by the remark, This is Liberty Hall
which conveys a world of meaning when uttered
by an English gentleman aud lady, in their own
elegant home
As man of science, traveller, and Apostolic
Missionary to Polynesia and Madagascar, the
Rev. William Ellis will long be remembered.
He was raised up to perform a noble work, and
right nobly did he perform the work assigned to
him. In the beautiful lines of Montgomery,
l will close this brief notice Of one Of the most
useful and laborous missionary workers and
scientific tolers Of this age:

AN EXPLosIoS.-At the Foundry on Saturday last
while one Of the workmen was engaged in temper
ing "reamer,r "a tool used in boring metal, and
which requires "any amount Of temper, "a rather
serious mishap occurred, by which the man was
quite seriously burned. 1t seems that in highly
tempering tools intended 10 cut hard metals molten
lead and hard dry soap arc used On this occasion,
the hard soap gave out the saying is, and the
workman undertook to apply sgt soap to the molten
metal Il didn't work very well-or rather worked
too powcrfully-as at the moment the watcred soap
touched the hot lead an explosion occurred which
rather astonished the man. It didn't hurt him SO
badly as it might have done, and he will be quite
well in few days, and probably won't Try again
very soon to "soit soap melted lead.
DEATH PROM PoisoS-At Lahaina. on the Goth

the West Maui Sugar Plantation, died from the
effects of dose Of strychuine which was given TO
him under the following circumstances 1t seems
that the man went home in the evening unwell
and desiring TO take some medicine to relieve
him, told 4 native woman who was in the house
at the time to give him some medicine out of
bottle which he pointed out to her as being salts
She gave him the medicine as be requested aud
in a few minutes he was taken with violent pains
and died in a short time. On examination it was
found that the bottle from which he had taken,
as the woman supposed, salts contained strych-

contained poison or not is a mystery.
