In this connection there is a very interest- ing article in the current issue of The National Revenue Review, issued by the Dept. of National Revenue, Ottawa. It deals with wigsâ€"surely an evidence of the vanity and desire for personal adornment of those in years gone by. It would appear that at one time the call for wig-makers must have exceed- ed the present day call for beauty shops and barbers. The article in The Na- tional Revenue Review is as follows:â€" When Wigs Were Worn ' ‘ “Periwigs, commonly called wigs, dur- ing the 17th and part of the 18th cen- turies were the height of fashion and were in general use, as one may see by old prints and paintings of those days. To-day the trade in wigs is at a very Once Wig-Makers Far Out- numbered the Barbers in the Old Style Beauty Par- lour Business. low ebb. The entire output in Canada during a recent year was eleven dozen. These were supplemented, however, by the production of eighteen dozen “transformations.” Also large quanâ€"- tities of “cur ” made of human hair were turned out. These weighed in the aggregate over 50,000 pounds. “Curls" appear to be the present-day substitute for the old-time wig. In addition to these, however, Canada imported dur- ing the past fiscal year hair and bristles to the value of $225,807. The wearing of wigs is of great antiquity, and Egyp- tian mummies have been found adorn- ed with them. In ancient Greece, Ro- man and Carthage wigs were used by both men and women. The fashion- able ladies of Rome were very fond of false hair, especially the golden hair imported from Germany. It was not until the 17th century, however, that wig wearing became really general. The A recent visitor to Timmins was more immersed with the number of barber shopain town and the number of beau- ty parlour: here than with almost any- thing else about this town. “Never saw anything like it.” he said. He was ad- vised to visit Kirkland Lake where he would and about twice as many beauty parlour: as here. even it they are only about half as many good ones. For fear, however. that this visitor would go away with wrong impress‘ons or Timmins it was pointed out to him that nearly every line in the North has been overcrowded in recent years by people coming from the South, but that even so the beauty parlour business in Southern towns and cities full equals this town when all conditions are con- sidered. He began to figure up from memory all the beauty pariours in his own home city in Ontario and he was fairly paralyzed when he realized just haw many there were. “And I guess I haven’t remembered half of them,” he periwig of the 16th century merely stimulated real hair either as an adorn- ment or to supply the defects of nature. But in the succeeding century it was worn as a distinctive feature of cos- tume. The fashion started in France. In 1620 the abbe Le Riviere appeared at the court of Louis XIII in a pe‘riwig made to simulate long fair hair,- and four years later the king himself, preâ€" maturely bald, also adopted one and thus set the fashion. Lou'is XIV, who was proud of his abundant hair, did not wear a wig till after 1670. From Ver- sailles .the fashion spread through Europe. In England, under Charles II, the wearing of the peruke became gen- eral. Pepys records that he parted with his own hair and “paid £3 for a peri- wig,” and on going to church in one he says “it did not prove so strange as I was afraid it would.” It was under Queen Anne, however. that the wig at- tained its maximum development, cov- ering the back and Shoulders and floatâ€" ing down over the chest.

In the church it survived longest among the bishops. At the car- onatlon of Queen Victoria the archbis- hop of Canterbury, 9.10118 of the pre- iates, still.wore a wig. Wigs are now “During the reign of George III the general fashion of wearing wigs began to wane and die out.

The Northern Tribune learns that the directors have decided upon’ a pro- gramme of work at once. The river" will be cleared of deadwood, and camps will be built. There will be erected a cook house 16 x 22 and a bunkhouse the same size. A mining engineer will be placed in charge of surface explorations and a diamond drill will be taken in as soon as this is completed. Prominent mining engineers are said to have re- ported the claims as very promising. Mr. G. Vincent of Kapuskasing is solicitor of the company. It is intend- ed to buy all supplies locally whenever possible. The Lost RiveriGold Mining Co. Ltd. acquired 17 claims in Cum- mings township from the original stak- ers.’ Eight of these claims have now been involved in a deal with New York financial interests, with whom a con- tract has been signed. This deal was initiated before formation of the com- pany, and has now been closed. The deal will provide financing for the com- pany, all the shareholders benefiting.” Ofle ' Rewards Mwun in Family To return, however, to the reward offered over a hundred years ago in connection with a robbery at Port Hope, the following is the story as de- tailed by Fred Willlam's in one of his interesting aand valuable sketches:â€" A Robbery of Over a Century Ago One hundred and six years ago to- day there was printed at the omce of the Upper Canada Gazette at' York a poster whichmflered a reward of nearly £200, in all, for the arrest and convic- tion of the thief who had burglarized the Mansion House Hotel at Port Hope. Over a hundred Years. Ago , an Ancestor of General Williams Offered Reward in Robbery. Anyone visiting the Titanium police station or the provincial police once in town will be inclined to think that General Victor Williams, head of the provincial police. is a great hand for uttering rewards for the capture of rob- bres, murderers and others. Circulars on the walls of the police oiiice contain many otters of rewards. the circulars being signed Victor Williams, superin- tendent of provincial police of On- tario. To judge by the article in a recent issue of The Toronto Mail and Empire by another Williams (this time it is the well-known newspaper writer. Fred Williams) it might be judged that this ofl’ering of rewards “runs in the family." In any case Fred Williams goes back over a hundred years to refer to a big reward for those days oflersd by John T. Williams, founder of the family to which General Williams be- longs. By the way it would be interest- ing to know it Fred Williams belongs to the same distinguished family, and if so if it is on this account that he is so successful in running down and cap- turing for the benefit of the peeple at large so many unusual and interesting sidelight on Canadian history, and especially in regard to Old Muddy York, now known as Toronto, but little more popular. It read thus: -V .

V YA‘m T. H. Williams, M.P., of Port Hope, who commanded the Midland battalion in the North West in 1885 and who died in the Saskatchewan just as he was start- ing for home. (Here it may be worth noting that, as a result of the recent jubilee rte-union of the North West' Field Force, 1885, the name of Col. Williams is to be added to the others inscribed on the monument in Queen’s Park, it being recognized that he gave his life for his country just as much as if he had been killed in the charge he led at Batoche instead of succumbing to sickness induced by his campaign activities). Commander Williams served as a midshipman under Horatio Nelson at the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801, and was sent to Canada to aid Sir James Yeo in the naval fighting on Lake Ontario in 1812-14. After the peace he returned to England, but having taken a liking for Canada, decided to return to Upper Canada where he was given a land grant in the county of Durham. It was while he was residing at the Mansion House pending the building of his home that the robbery took place. The thieves were never found, I am told that the hotel building is still standing. but is now used as a garage.
