Vancouver island.

couver Island.
VERY year a larger and ever In-
creasing number of autoists, and
those who wish to spend their
vacations in an entire change of en-
vironment, make their way to the
geland of Vancouver --the gateway of
l,whieh is Victoria, the capital city of'
!British Columbia—the best known
:tourist resort in the Pacific North-
llwest. It is entirely different from
;Zany other territory known to automo-
!bilists. True, it is in Canada, and
breached by the Canadian Pacific via
goad and magnificently appointed
leteamers, but it is as British as if it
were one of the British Isles. This
;ee realized immediately one lands
}from the steamer in Victoria, and by
►the way this very landing is inter-
iesting and affords an excellent exam-
fDle of the courtesy of Canadian cus-
' Itoms officials, and the extreme ease
;with its automobilists. who are re-
lsidents of the United States, can en-
rter into this, to them, foreign coun-
itry.
But to return to one's first impres-
isir"ns upon leaving the steamer at
:Victoria. As the steamer glides to
}her berth through the unique Inner
;Harbor, considered one of the most
(picturesque in the world, there imme-
;diately looms up on the right, the mag-
iificent Parliament buildings of Brit-
sh Columbia—one of the architectur-
lal features of Canada. They are sit-
uated overlooking the harbor, facing
;James Bay embankment and the City
of Victoria.
The six -horse tally -hos and the thir-
tty-passenger and smaller sight-seeing
4cars lined up on the side streets, all
!competing for business in a vigorous,
?and somewhat unfamiliar manner, is
lanother indication that we have with -
in a short space of five hours, been
}transplanted into a new and invigorat-
�ing environment. The City of Victoria
:le the starting point of the Island
thiehwa '. which brings the automobil-
'st in close touch with the stain por-
tion of Vancouver Island, and all its
summer and fishing resorts; its quaint
villages, enterprising towns, agricul
tural settlements, wonderful forests,
reached by tributary highways, and,
the commencement of the Canadian
highway, the terminus of which is at
Alberni.
It is an easy matter to spend a
week in the City of Victoria, and to
take an entirely separate and dis-
tinct, and at the same time most in-
teresting tour, every day. In fact,
during the past summer, enthusiastic
autoists from California, Utah, Wash-
ington, Oregon, and even Eastern
Canada spent from two to five weeks
in this city and island, and left with
the greatest possible regret.
Mr. Frelerick Wagner, in the Seat-
tle Times, thus describes his first
visit to Victoria and the Island:
"Picturesque and rugged in its
matchless beauty of unlimited varie-
ty; wealthy in magnificent driveways
and offering unsurpassed hotel ac-
commodations, with lavish hospitality
ever conspicuously present— that is
Vancouver Island, in the Canadian
province of British Columbia, paradise
of motoristsand nature lovers, and
destined to rank as one of the world's
greatest touring fields.
"Nature painted the gorgeous stet,
ting for this scenic• wonderland, an 1
the people of Vancouver Island have
capitalized it by constructing a sys-
tem of splendid highways that is dot-
ted with attractive hotels where ex-
cellent accommodations are to be ob-
tained. And they have supplemented
this work by a display of genuine hos-
pitality that is justly entitled to be
classed as a valuable asset in the ex-
ploitation of their country.
"The chain of mountains that pene-
trates Vancouver Island and the beau-
tiful valleys, with their numerous
streams, lakes and luxuriant vegeta-
tion, combine to set before the eyes of
the traveller a variety of scenic splen.
dor that beggars description.
"Go where you will on Vancouver
Island and you will find scenery that
causes you to marvel at the lavish-
ness of nature.
"The coastline of the island is very
beautiful, being indented with deep
bays and fiords. The western coast
differs somewhat from the eastern
coastline, for on the ocean side a
number of canals reach far inland,
as if to aid the miner and the lum-
berman to get his product to market
with ease; 'while on the other side of
the island there are many pleasant
bays and several beaches, where sum-
mer homes and resorts are to be
found."

THE KEEPING OF BEES.
The saying 'The resources of Canada
are inexhaustible' is true of no food
products more than of honey. An
abundance of honey -yielding flowers,
with a high average of favourable
weather for the production and ingather•
ing of the honey, makes Canada a good
country for the bee -keeper. Moreover,
the bulk of Canadian honey is of unsur-
passed quality, and honey has become,
as it deserves to be, a staple article of
food in many places, selling readily at
satisfactory prices when properly lis.
tributed." So states the Dominion
Apiarist, Mr. F. W. L. Sladen, in
Bulletin No. 2(i Second Series, just
issued by the Department of Agricul-
ture, Ottawa, that can be had free on
application to the Publications Branch
of the department. Mr. Sladen furnishes
the further information that in Ontario
and Quebec, and in regions in the other
provinces of the Dominion, there are an
increasing number of people who make
bee -keeping their principal business,
some of the specialists in Ontario reap-
ing an income in excess of 52,500 per
year, while there are thousands who
find it a profitable and healthful auxiliary
to their annual revenue. In Ontario
alone it is estimated that there are 10,-
000 bee -keepers. Mr. Sladen, after
dealing with the advantages of bee-
keeping, and extending instructions
and advice to beginners, proceedes to
deal with the different elements involved
in bee -keeping and honey productions.
In a plain, concise way he tells of the
location the apiary should be given, the
most desirable races, the development
System Was Full of Poison;
Pains in Side and Back
and handling of the bees, the diseases
and enemies to which they are subject,
and the attention they need at different
seasons of the year. He also gives a
list, with descriptive illustrations, of
the principal honey -producing plants
with their' approximate yielding periods.
In fact, it would seem that pretty well
everything worth knowing about the
cultivation and management of the
honey -bee is detailed in this handy sixty -
page official Bulletin or phamplet pub-
lishea for gratuitous circulation.

WHERE ALL MEET ON THE LEVEL.
An Americanlady passenger, who
recently crossed the Atlantic in a Dutch
liner, in a letter published in the Spring-
field Republican, says: "If I were
asked to state what had impressed me
most I should say it was the spirit of
tolerance manifested among the
passengers. Discussions about the
war have been avoided by mutual
agreement. Americans at home are
far more virulent in their partizanship
than are these citizens of the belligerent
countries, brought face to face within
the narrow confines of this steamer.
It is a salutary lesson to see an English
surgeon and a German nurse pacing
the deck, earnestly discussing plans
far the relief of suffering. It makes
one realize that the terrible cataclysm
now sweeping over all Europe is too
deep—too far-reaching—for the human
tellect to fathom. It engulfs personal
nimosities, and here upon the great
ea, which is Itis, for he made it, we
meet only as man to man "
Among the passengers, she gays,
was Mr. X. from Toronto. A cable-
gram Caine to him announcing the
death of his only sora in an engagement
clear Ypres, Even while the tnemorial
services were in progress, a second
message declared that the young otI'icer
had not beet: slain, but taken prisoner.
A third report following quickly con-
firmed the story of his death, Just a
week later a fourth telegram, purpor-
ting to come from the son himself,
stated that he was in Ys field hospital,
fatally wounded. 8o the distracted
father caught the first steamer sailing
for England, With the hope of learning
the truth and perhaps seeing his boy

1 MOUES OF THE PYRENEES
Those on the Spanish Slopes Are the
Pure Aborigines of Europe.
You aro in the habit of thinking
o
the inhabitants of France as "French
and the inhabitants of Spain as "Span,
ish. " Did you happen to read a learned
disquisition on the shape of the skulls
of people living on the two slopes of
the Pyrenees, together with the an-
nouncement that, contrary to the be-
lief of scientists, the Basques are not
411 of the same origin? And then did
you ask, "Who aro the Basques?" Pri-
marily they are the people who gave to
the rest of the world a curious iciud of
garment for women, but they ;;re far
more interesting to the student of an-
thropology and the historical develop-
ment of language than they are to the
designers of women's clothes.
There was a thnorbofol'e the present
generation of scientists got to work on ;
the problem when the Basques, both In
Spain and in France, were recognized
as the last remnant of the original oe-
cupanloc-
cupantsof Europe, the people who
were driven into this backwater of
civilization by the onrush of the Celts.
The Celts were in their turn driven
westward and into such out of the way
corners as they could hold, so that they
are now represented by certain strains
in Spain, by the Bretons In France, the
Irish, Scotch, Welsh, Cornish and Manx
in the British isles and by a substra-
tum of the Bohemians and the Gain
clans. Those who preceded them and
who managed to cling to the mountain
strongholds of the Pyrenees are re-
motely related to the Finns in another
remote backwater- The ones on the
Spanish slopes are the pure aborigines
of Europe.

Anaesthetic For the Teeth Wanted.
There is no local anaesthetic that
will penetrate dentine, which forms
the principal part of a tooth. That is
why dentists hurt teeth so much when
drilling holes in them for fillings or
when grinding them down for gold
crowns. Any one who will invent
something that can be put on a tooth
to render it insensitive for ten minutes
without injuring it has a fortune
awaiting him.
Cocaine and novocaine, which are
used as local anaesthetics in other
parts of the body, have no effect upon
the teeth, as they cannot penetrate the
hard tissue of which tbese are com-
posed. -
A Carlyle Snub.
Carlyle had an inveterate hatred for
"Darwinism, which be described as the
gorilla damnineation of humanity."
Leonard Huxley in his life of his
father recalls an incident that hap-
pened shortly before Carlyle's death.
"My father," he writes, "saw him walk-
ing slowly and alone down the opposite
side Of the street and, touched by his
solitary appearance, crossed over and
spoke to him. The old man looked at
him and, merely remarking, 'You're
Huxley, aren't you, the man that says
we are all descended from the mon-
keys?' went on his way."
Lowell on His Own Writings.
James Russell Lowell was not the
kind of writer to take his own produc-
tions seriously. He was not like Ten-
nyson, who could be made wretched by
a disparaging remark about his poetry
by a young girl, '-Chat is perhaps the
way a poet ought to feel, however
skillful he may be in concealing it.
Lowell told me that a young English-
man, on being introduced to him in
Madrid, said, "I never read your
works," to which he had reps,
I never regarded them as necessary to
a liberal education."
Sensitive.
A polite young man called upon an-
other young man, unfortunate -13r not at
that time at home. So the firstoung
y °'
man left a note for the second young
man sayiag that he was "sorry to have
found him out." The seeond young
man in reply wrote the first young
matt a long and very' pained letter, in
which he declared that he had always
tried to do the best he could and had
always meant to be fair to elaexy-
body.
The famous Appian Way.
Mian way, mentioned
by almost every Roman writer, con-
nected the Eternal City with all parts
of south Italy. For many .miles from
Rome the space on each side was filled
with sepulchers, many of them of per-
sons distinguisbed in history. To baVe
a sepulcher on the Appian way was
equivalent to being hurled. in Green-
wood, itt New York, or Pere Lachaitse,
in Paris.

"Mind now," said the judge, "you are

not the penitentiary will be your por-

The man took the oath. and then
whispered to his friend:

you, The judge says I've got to tell
the truth."
"That's all right, Jim," said his
