PREMIER Du-lsafura of British Colum- bia has been for two years amember of *1e Legislature, yet has never once made a. speech. A few such men as Mr. Duns- anuir would have been of mach service in the late session of the House of Com- a -eons. The Opposition at Ottawa has had •published on a big sheet Sir Charles Tupper'- speech in the House on the sending of troops to the war, and are franking these throughout Ontario. For circulation among the French-Canadians they will probably print his Quebec speech. Toronto Star. The present year will be a record one for succession duties collected by the Ontario Government. Last year the tax brought in $150,000, The estimate for the present yearis X175,000. The amount already collected amounts to $180,000. A large amount of money is now in. sight, which will come in before the end of the year. . The St. Thomas Journal in speaking of .holidays says: It is ;generally conceded -that that the human machine is greatly benefitted atot only byaweeklyday of rest, but by an annual period of cessation from toil combined -with recreation. The worst feature in connection wwithholidays is that probably those who nee them snost are unable to get them at As change is rest might not some those 'who are more favorably situated than others secure this for themselves and relive the burden of others by volunteer- ing to perform the duties of the latter -while they get a holiday. It may be doted, too, that while a change of occupation is beneflaial, there are some by over exerting themselves during their 1lolidays, and seeking excitement instead of rest , do themselves more harm than good, and come back less fitted for work than when they left. Logs are the cheapest thing inSiberia, but if the forests Etre cut as rapidly for the next century as they have 'leen in late years restoration will become as ]messing a question as it is in America.

DEARDEAR;ail:,--I latter myself with the ialea that a large number of your readers, not only in the town of Wingham, but also iu the surrounding countryavould be pleased to hear a few words from one who has been trying- to serve theca for the past year. My quarterly official board have kindly granted me five or six weeks vacation. We decided to spend that time in our Muskoka home. Some six or seven years ago nt bechzue necessary, after twenty' years of hard work"to turn aside and rest awhile." Ilene Is I secured ai supply for two mouths, came to Eeewayden, and have not felt its though I needed a holiday since. But on the principal that "preveution is bet- ter than care," I made lip my mind at the time, if possible, to take at least a months holidays every year. We left home on Monday morning, the 9th iust. and aaltlncugh.we are couslderebly over 200 miles from Wingham We arrived here in good time for tea, Since tine G. T. R, put on that special starting at Buffalo in the morning we can get through nicely in a day. This is certain- ly one of the most popular summer re- sorts in our fair Dominion rand the people by the thousuuds are finding out its healthful advantages. Especially is this the case with our..Americau cousins. Very few of our people have any con- ception of the Muskoka Lakes region.— tar as it is also known as the "Higlauds of Ontario." It is said there are no loss than 800 lakes with about 400 Islands, The three larger bodies of water are Lake Muskoka, being about 21 miles long, Rosseau 12 miles and Joseph about 1$ miles. We are about 20 miles up the Muskoka Lake, on one of the finest islands on the lakes, known as the Keewayden, an Indian name . signifying North West wind, which for some rea- ton or another, is the prevailing wind at this point. Perhaps, it is largely due to this fact that sufferers from hay fever, asthma, lung troubles and • puluiinary complaints find almost instant relief. Our community is one of the largest on the lakes sufficiently large as to secure from the Government a post office for two months, viz: July and August, so that we have a daily mail, keeping us in touch with the outside world. Our post office is Port Xeewayden, MuskokMuskokaLake, Ont. I may tell you later on a little as to how we spend: our time, etc. Tours truly, RIM:CARD Hanna..
