of President Mckinley, and telegraph
ed the following:
"It is with a shock of deep regret

may recover. In him the South has the
fairest and kindest President under

EXPLORATIONS IN EGYPT.
summary of the work of PetrIe,
GarStnDg. and Others.

Various expeditions OF German, English.
American, and French archaeologists have
been at work as usual during the winter
months in Egypt All have been to some
extent successful; but for the moment at
tention chiefly centres itself upon the
completion of Prof. Petrie's exploration
of the First Dynasty site at Abydos;
and the discovery late in the season by
Mr.. J. Garstang OF some long sought
royal tombs of the Third Dynasty. The
various results may be considered In the
order of their historical sequence.
At FL Amrah, a few miles south of
Abydos, Messrs. WiIl1in and Randall
MacIver showed how the types prevail
ing in the prehistoric times. whether in
the forms of vessels or materials en-
pIoyed or in the construction of tOmbs,
merge gradually into those which are
known to have existed :n the First Dy-
nasty. They also found on a carved
slate which is known as a type Of the
middle of the prehistoric age an emblem

general character of the hieroglyphs,
though not identical with any particular
one, that ii is believed TO be the earliest

COLIN RANKIN's BIG CANOE.
The Craft of the Former Head of the
Hudson Bay Company.

One of the interesting and picturesque
figures in the north country IS Colin Ran
kin. the retired chief factor of the Hud-
sons Bay Company, who for the last fifty
ears held sway under the flag OF the
great trading corporation from the Malta
IA 10 Abittibl One hundred years ago
Fort Temiscanning was established, and
for more than a century it fiourished as
one of the important posts of the Hud-
sons Bay Company. Fifty years ago the
chief factor (,,fO is now hale, hearty,
well preserved and distinguished looking
gentleman, with fine white Dundreary
whiskers) held court at Temiscanning. or
moved about the lakes and rivers of the
district in lordly state. Now he travels
by steamer. Then he had a retinue OF
Indians and a crew for his regal birch
bark canoe that he was proud of. Ten
men welded the paddle OF steered the
birch bark barge when he visited Malta
We in state. and they had perfect con-
ddence in their ruler, as he had in them
with good cause.
AS the city man calls off the names of
the streets and public buildings as he
passes down to his shop or office Mr
Rankin names the bays headIands. and
islands as the boat passes up or down
the lake. The ninety miles between
Thornloe and Mattawa is simply a beat
en- path for the old man, who as boy and
man served the great company in the
Temiscanning district.
The large birch bark canoe recorded
was one built for Mr. Rankin by the
Temiscanning Indians. He sent instruc-
tiOus from Montreal while visiting there
to have a new canoe built, and the men
set TO work and constructed one forty
fec long-longer and handsOmer than
the governor of the company himself
ha+-which was putting on a good deal
Of style for a subordinate The capacity
OF the canoe for freight was sixty bags
OF fiOur-almOst ii load for a steam
launch This giant canoe is now lying
at NilIe Marie. about midway between
Temiscanning station and Thornloe An
effort was made TO get it To the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo as a Gu
riosity but the cost of freight was too
great and the project was abandoned.
The ex-chief factor is still an active
member OF the Hudson Bay Company,
and gives great deal Of his time over
seeing their affairs Speaking Of the sue
cess of that corporation. he said II was
due to its method Of selling for cash.
Credit is the curse Of Canada, said Mr.
Rankin and he eNpatiated on the idea at
length proving that there is nothing 50
good for the purchaser as To be COM
PEELED to do without what he cannot pay
for. Although he Is In receipt Of
handsome pension, and might spend his
latter years in Montreal or Toronto, Mr..
Rankin win not leave the scene Of his
manhood s activity, and consequently re-
sides at Mattawa, making frequent trips
up the lake. He Is a fine sample of the
English gentleman Of the last generation.

Passing OF the Dark straw Hat.
lEIom d 80 Reeord-Heralal

lFT0m The Chicsgo kec0rd-HeraId)
New York paper says fewer brown straw hate
are worn there THAI IN almost any other city and
adds: Absence Of soft coal smoke IS one sug-
gcstcd explanation Of the prevalence Of white
siraa." But New York people need not plume
themselves on the supposition that they are the
only oues who have ceased TO wear the old-f1sh-
ioned brown and black and spotted straw hats
Those hats have almost been forgotten save in
such cities as ST Louis and Cincinnati and
few small towns in Arkansas. where they are
still worn by people who chew tobacco and expec-
tOrate in the streets.
Here in Chicago for instance a brown or
black straw hat would be much Of = curiosity
a blue swall0w-tail coat oi the vintage Of
50, notwithstanding the contempt in which the
Smoke Inspector is held by most'o Of our tug cap
tsins. We cannot, therefore. accept the theory
that white straw hats owe their vogue to an
absence Of the smoke nuisance.
