BAGGING AND TIES Eugene Grace Writes From Canada. Editors Herald and Advertiser: It has been the writer’s pleasant privilege during the past three weeks to make a business trip through Cana da. 1 have visited Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto. It would be im possible in a short sketch like this to enumerate in detail the many points of historical interest throughout Canada, but there are a few objects of more than ordinary importance that 1 should like to speak of: Quebec is quite a quaint old French city of some 80,000 souls. It is located partly on a high bluff overlooking the St. Lawrence river. It was this city that conferred undying fame upon Frontenac, Wolfe, Montcalm and Mont gomery. I saw the spots upon which Wolfe and Montcalm were supposed to have been killed. While a majority of the natives speak English fluently, French is the prevaling language. Montreal is the queen of Canadian cities. I had the pleasure of going down the St. Lawrence river by boat from Quebec to Montreal. Quite a bit of sensation usually attaches to this trip. Soon after passing under the Canadian Pacific railroad bridge, (which, by the way, is a magnificent iron structure, built on the cantilever principle, and 1J miles long), the an nouncement is made that the steamer so, while it lasts, we will continue to sell Before you buy your Bagging and Ties we want to make you some prices, as we had the foresight to buy before the advance.

They are not kept long in suspense. The swift current, together with the engine, soon carry the boat beyond danger, through the narrow passage between the shelving rocks, covered by the mighty torrent of water pouring over their partly hidden sides, and as sisting in keeping the palatial steamer in the center and out of danger. A moment more and we are tranquilly passing under the great Victoria bridge and rounding up at the historic city of Montreal. Many a page of wild Cana dian history has had its origin in and around this city. Montreal is a popular rendezvous for the sportsman, where the fisherman can arrange his tackle for a campaign among the trout and salmon in the lakes and lower St. Law rence, and where the hunter can get his rifle and hunting accoutrements to gether to wage war upon the giant moose of Kippewa. Montreal has had a steady and substantial growth. True, the city owes its prosperity in large measure to the natural position it oc cupies at the head of St. Lawrence navigation, hut the strides she lias made—particularly since the building of the great Canadian Pacific railway, the steel artery that traverses an en tire continent—is most marvelous, and to-day the city contains a population of nearly 500,000 souls. Among the more modern structures may be included the Royal Victoria hospital, which cost $2,- 000,00O: the Bank of Montreal, the strongest financial institution on the continent of America, with a capital and reserve of $18,000,000; St. James Cathedral, designed to surpass all oth er sacred edifices in America, and an exact model of the famous St. Peter’s of Rome, over $2,500,000; Notre Dame de Lourdes; McGill University; St. James Methodist church, the largest and most elegant Pr,t.;stant church in the Dominion, coating over $500,000, and having a seating capacity of near ly 3,000 ; the Grey Nunnery ; Church of the Gesu; Royal Victoria College for Women; Grand Trunk Railway offices; Windsor Hotel annex, capable of ac commodating over 1,000 guests; and many other up-to-date buildings. In commemoration of the deeds of her martial heroes the city is filled with most expensive statuary. Montreal is quite a manufacturing city also, having numerous industrial plants and making many kinds of goods. Owing to the existing tariff wall between the States and Canada the Dominion has captured a large number of branches of the States’ most representative manufac turing firms, who find it cheaper to erect plants here than pay about 30 per cent. duty. Ottawa is the Washington of the Do minion of Canada, having about. 80,000 people, and being the capital, contains the Houses of Parliament. Words are inadequate to describe the beauty and architectural elegance displayed there. The Parliament section contains most imposing buildings, surrounded by magnificently kept lawns, beautiful botanical gardens, macadamized drive ways, fountains, etc. The Canadian mint is also located in Ottawa. Toronto is more like an American city than any of the Canadian cities Has modern sky-scrapers, hotels, and all modern conveniences of an up-to- date city;— in fact, it has more modern improvements than some of our Amer ican cities;. Toronto is located on the edge of Lake Ontario; has. over 200,000 inhabitants, and, to be brief, can be classed with such cities as Indianapolis. Detroit. Buffalo, Baltimore, and other jcities of similar size in the States, in regard to its civic interests. But, af- j ter ail, there is really only one elysian | spot—only one place after my own (heart and that is that dear little I shovelful of dirt down in dear old j Georgia, known on the map as Newnan. Eugene Grace. j Toronto, Ca'a'a, Oct. 1st. Absentminded. ColumbuR Dispatch. She was an exceedingly dainty little woman, who was taking a very great interest in the welfare of the convicts when she was being shown through the penitentiary the other day. Guard O’Brien was along when she happened to speak to one of the prisoners. “I am so sorry for you,” she re marked in a tender tone of voice. “Of course, you will he very thankful when the time comes for you to leave this dreadful place.” “No,” retorted the man. ‘‘I’d a sight rather stop here where I am.” The little woman almost collapsed. “Isn’t it strange?” she asked, turn ing to the guard. “I had no idea the prisoners were so contented. What was the poor fellow’s offense?” The guard concealed a covert grin. “lie was just a little absentminded, that was all,” followed tho grin. “Absentminded!” exclaimed his as tonished interrogator. “Yes, madam,” politely replied O’Brien. “IIo persisted in forgetting he was married, and now when his time is up he has two wives awaiting him on tho outside.” The woman could not deny that tho convict had sufficient reasons to he contented with his present lot. Both Boys Saved. Louis Boon, a lending merchant of Norway, Mich., writes: “Three bottles of Foley’s Honey and Tar absolutely cured my boy of a severe cough, and a neighbor’s boy who was so ill with a cold that the doctorgave him up, was cured by taking Foley’s Honey and Tar.” Nothing else is as safe and certain in results.
