PIONEER DAYS.
(By Mrs. F. B. Scott)
The following paper was read at a
recent joint meeting held in Wingham
of the Wingham and Bluevale In-
stitutes: •
On a certain farm in Morris township
within a short distance of Bluevale a
barn raising was held not long ago and
seeing the people going by in automo-
biles to attend this event. brought very
vividly before me the contrast between
the present time and pioneer days.
For it does not seem a great many
years ago since a barn raising was
held on the very next farm to the one
referred to, soon after the parents of
the present occupants settled there and
I attended the barn raising and on the
road home our oxen ran away. It was
surprising, too, how fast such large,
clumsy animals could run. But no
damage resulted and it gave us some-
thing to laugh over in after years.
I was born on the Pomona, the largest
of the Orkney Islands or Orcades,
fount of old tales and legends, clustered
at the extreme northern limit of Scot-
land. It was off the Brough of Birsay
on the western coast of my native
island that Earl Kitchener was lost a
few months ago on the ill-fated
Hampshire. The Orkney Islands are
treeless and one of the first things to
impress me when I landed in Canada, a
little girl of nine, was a beautiful
ayenue of trees on Grosse Island, the
ouarantine station in the St. Lawrence.
We had fallen victims to the measles
and had to be carried, wrapped in
blankets, from the ship to the quaran-
tine hospital, through this avenue of
trees. Another impression that I re-
member very vividly was a feeling of
intense heat although it was still early
summer when we landed.
I bad been several years in Bluevale
before the railway came to this part of
the country, but at Quebec I had my
first glimpse of a railway train and I
remember there was some discussion
amongst us as to whether we should
complete our journey by rail or by boat.
The boat was finally chosen and we
came all the way to Hamiltoa by water.
At Quebec my mother bought her first
Canadian bonnett and at Montreal I
remember how grateful I was for a
bottle of milk which we bad secured by
some means or other. I was weary
from tramping the streets and begged
my mother to carry me as well as my
little brother. When she agreed on
condition that I would relinquish the
milk, I refused to accede to such a
bargain and trudged on by her side
holding her skirt with one hand and the
milk bottle with the other.
Perhaps I did not experience the
rigors of pioneer life to the same de-
gree as many have done for my father
was a school teacher and also received
a pension from the British Government.
As a young man he had enlisted in the
British navy and I might mention that
for a time he served in the crew of
Lord Bryon's pleasure yacht in the
Mediterranean. It was while on one
of His Majesty's ships that he met
with a terrible accident by a fall from
the rigging, leaving him a cripple for
life. Being still young in years he re-
turned home and in due course was
granted at Edinboro' a diploma as
teacher. About this time while on a
ramble in pursuit of his favorite sport
of hunting or fishing, he saw my mother
for the first time where she was wield-
ing the sickle in the field like Words -
worth's "Solitary Reaper." It was
many years after their marriage before
they decided to cross the ocean, and
they were impelled to do so by their

desire to keep their sons from taking
a sea -faring life. My oldest brother
had beenlost at sea. which was a great
grief to my parents. The coast of the
Orkneys were thronged with ships
which exercised an irresistable fascin-
ation over the imaginations of healthy, 1
lusty youths with their promise of
adventures and ,wonderful experiences
in the strange, far-off places of the
earth. So in dread of losing more of
their sons, my parents emigrated to
the new land beyond the sea where the
ways of men were more peaceful and
secure.
After corning to Canada, my father
taught school in Dumfries and Blenheim
townships in the neighborhood of Galt
and Ayr. As that district had been
settled for some time, brick and stone
houses not being uncommon, we did
not meet with pioneer conditions as
they are commonly understood till five
or six years later when we came to
Morris township, two of my brothers
having taken up land on the first con-
cession of Morris, back of the river.
Father was engaged as teacher in
the Stone School and built a log house
nearby in which he and my mother
resided but I went to be housekeeper
for my brothers.
From our farm the shortest way to
Bluevale was across the country to
the Bluevale road near where Mr.
Dobie now lives. I liked to bring my
butter to market in the early morning
in order to keep it cool and firm and a
neighbor woman and myself used to
start off soon after dawn carrying our
Shoes and stocking with us through the
dewy woods until we reached the high-
way where we would sit down and wipe
our feet carefully on the towel we
carried with us for the purpose, don
our shoes and then make our entrance
to the village clothed and in our right
minds. Sometimes we reached the
stores so early we would he forced to
rouse Mr. Messer or Mr. McCosh from
slumber to wait on us. On the way
home, which was reached in time to
get breakfast for the men, we would
stop at the same place and remove our
precious footwear before taking to the
bush once more.
Many things, you see, that are now
called necessities were considered
luxuries at that time. But in those
days we had something for which we
would perhaps gladly exchange many
of the advantages we have,,to day and
that was ail abundance of health,
strength and dauntless spirits.
Life was comparatively simple then.
For instance there were no millinery
shops. Nearly all the small children
wore sunbonnets to church and Sunday
School and I can well remember buying
my first hat at John Messer's store in
Bluevale. Jt was a straw bat and I
bought some flowers too, and trimmed
it myself. There were no professional
dressmakers in those days either. We
did all our own sewing and did it by
hand, but one advantage we had was
that nearly every garment was made
of homespun, which, as you have all
heard, was renowned for its wearing
qualtities so that a new wardrobe was
not required every few months as is
the case to -day. I don't know what
we did for fashions. Paris was a long
distance from the Queen's Bush and
fashion books were not in vogue in
pioneer days. One thing 1 can re-
member very distinctly, however, was
when gored skirts came in. • At first
we had worn plain round skirts. With
fur -bearing animals so plentiful in the
bush it might be thought that furs
would be commonly used but it was
quite a long time before I ever saw a
fur coat, the first I think, being a
buffalo coat worn by a man in Ayr.
When we went out in winter we
wrapped up in shawls. But the need
for winter clothing did not seem as
great then as now. No doubt the pro-
tection of the forest trees tempered the
climate to a 'considerable degree and
overcoats were seldom seen among the
men for many years after the country
was opened.
A large part of women's work in
those days was in the preparation of
food and clothing. There was no large
houses and little expensive furniture to
keep in order and all household appoipt-
ments were on a simple scale. But
spinning was a task that every house-
wife had to reckon with. Sheep were
among the first live stock to be placed
on the pioneer farms and the wool pro-
duced was partly sold and partly kept
for household use. When the flocks
had been clipped the fleeces were hand-
ed over to the woman of the house who
"teased" the wool, as the operation
was called, removing alldirt and foreign
substances, It was then smoothed and
rubbed with hot grease and sent to the
woollen mill in Wingham to be carded.
From the mill it came back in rolls and
these were spun into yarn, fine or
coarse as required for different pur-
poses. The woman who worked reg-
ularly
e -ularly
at her spinning wheel had no
need of physical culture exercises. It
called for both grace and dexterity of
movement. The yarn after being dyed
with bought dyes was sent to the
weaver. There was sure to be a
weaver in every neighborhood who
would Make up your blankets or webs
of homespun flannel. "Jimmy" Mita -
ell was widely known` as the weaver at
Bluevale. The family underwear as
well as the outer garments was made

spent Sunday in town.
Mr. J. McKenzie has opened a butcher
shop in Korman's old stand.
Miss Toms, of Winnipeg, is visiting
her aunt, Mrs. Dr. Tamlyn.
Dr. Chisholm purposes building an

Mr. Jas. Long met with a painful
accident near Manchester on Sunday
last, when he was thrown from his
wheel scratching his nose and face
severely.
Mr- J. E. Swarts' horse, John Nelson>
took two 2nds and three 3rds at the
Detroit Races last Friday. This is ex-
ceedingly well cohsidering the fast time
that was made.
Mr. L. A. Balls, who has been en-
gaged with Mr. S. Gracey for the past
six months, left on Tuesday for Portage
La Prairie where he has secured a good
position in a large retail furniture and
undertaking establishment.
One day last week as Robbie Bone,
of Morris, was driving his father's
threshing engine he had the misfortune
to drive the wheel of the engine over
the toes of his right foot, thereby badly
lacerating them.
While Messrs. Duffield & Son were
loading eavetroughing in front of their
store on Friday morning, the horse be-
came frightened and ran away dumping
the contents of the wagon on the
street. It was stopped in front of the
salt block, Damage light.
James W ak afield, a butcher for John
McKenzie, received a telegram from
Guelph on Tuesday morning, telling
him of an accident which had befallen
his brother, who had been tramped upon
by a horse, breaking his leg and ribs
and causing internal injuries, from
which he will not likely recover.
On Friday evening last the election of
officers took place at the Presbyterian
Y. P. S. C. E. for the next half year as
follows: -Pres., Miss M. Gray; 1st Vice
Pres., Miss Robertson; 2nd Vice Pres.,
Miss Cummings; Rec. Sec., Miss Cline;
Cor. Sec., Miss Stuart; Treas.. John
Stewat.
This week it is our duty to record the
death of George Jacques in the seventy-
ninth year of his age. About five years
ago he moved to the township of Kinloss
near Whitechurch where he lived until
the time of his demise. He leaves a
widow, four sons and five daughters.
Mr. and Mrs. Howlett, of East
Wawanosh, met with an accident last
week while calling on a neighbor and
while driving home they collided with
another rig going in the opposite
direction. We are glad to state that
no further injuries were received than
a general shaking up.

FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER
Have a day for everything.
It is a wise precaution to put a
quantity of sand in the bottom of a
very tall vase. This will prevent its
topping over.
Preserve jars should always be kept
from direct contact with the bottom of
the preserving kettle, otherwise they
may break.
When making jellied .sou front
remember that the broth should be
strong, well seasoned and cleared with
white of egg. •
Whenever the robbers on cans of
fruit „bu.
"bulge," they should
be removed.
the jar of fruit resterilized and fresh
rubbers put on.
A good soft icing ie made with two
cups of granulated sugar and three-
quarters cup of sweet milk. Boil nine
minutes; cool. beat, and flavor.

y which turns on a

LITTLE, BUCK AND UGLY,
And Very Touchy, I. the DeviP+
Coach Horse Pestle. '
My, how vary touchy he isi Point
your finger at hint, and see how he
turns up his tail and opens his jaws,
just as If he were a lion instead of a
tlny beetle, Be thinks he Is going to
frighten us away. But we won't hurt
him, anyway, because he is a very
valuable port Qf beetle -a tiny garbage
man. He's called the devil's coach
horse beetle.
He's long, black and ugly. He spends
his time hiding under stones or crawl-
ing about in gardens. Like a majority
of beetles, he's one of nature's scaven-
gers.
Have you ever thought what a dirty
old world this world be if it were not
for the animals and birds and insects
that go around cleaning up? Certain
birds and animals devour the bodies of
other animals, but they leave it to the
beetles to clean up the crumbs.
So he's busy all day devouring the
tittle particles that the big eyes of the
buzzard cannot see. He's always cele-
brating clean up week. So don't blame
him if he turns up the end of his tail
and looks at you, threateningly when
you disturb him. He's too busy to
play.
MYSTERIES IN HOLES.,
What Becomes of the Earth Rodents
Dig From Their Dens?
I have found two weasels' dens on
the margin of a muck swamp in the
woods that presented the same insolu-
ble problem as the chipmunk's hole -
what has become of the bushel or more
of earth that must have been brought
to the surface? Both the weasel and
the chipmunk have several galleries
and one or more large chambers or
dining halls, and how each manages to
hide or obliterate all the loose soil that
must have been removed is a question
which has long puzzled me.
If we had an American Fabre or a
man who would give himself up to the
study of the life histories of our ro-
dents with the same patience and en-
thusiasm that the wonderful French-
man has shown concerning the life his-
tories of the insects be would doubt-
less soon solve the mystery.
I used to think that the chipmunk
carried away the soil in his cheek
pockets, aud i have so declared in one
of my books, but I am now very cer-
tain that he does not -only his food
stores are thus carried. -John Bur-

Birds and Glass.
It has been frequently noticed that
no wild bird can understand the prop-
erties of glass, and great numbers,
ranging in size from a pheasant to a
titmouse, are killed by flying against
the windows of country houses.
'If a room possesses a large mirror
reflecting the view seen through an
open window birds are particularly li-
able to be deceived, and especially if
frightened, into thinking that they can
fly through it.
Sparrow hawks will sometimes chase
their intended victims into strange
places. Some years ago a member of
this species pursued a small bird
through the open window of a railway
carriage in motion. In its blind de-
termination to secure the panting fugi-
tive it entangled its claws in the
meshes of the hatrack and was igno-
miniously slain by an astonished pas-
senger with an umbrella.
A Snoring Child.
Snoring is a symptom that should
not be neglected in children. It shows
that there is some obstruction to the
free passage of air from the nose to
•
the throat. The tonsils may be en-
larged and so partially close the pas-
sage at its lower opening. There may
be a polypus or some small tumor in
the nasal passage itself or catarrh of
the throat or nese or both. A physician
-hould be consulted.

People mos,ing from one place to an-
other are very subject to diarrhoea on
account of the change of water, change of
climate,, change of diet, etc., and what at

THE FIRST PAPER
When Adam's Eve began to do the
housekeeping for Adam, she had no
care such as pursue the modern Adam's
madam. She did not know what was
the rage, because there was no Wo-
man's Page.
She did not get a Daily Hint from
Paris full of passion to start her on a
daily spirt to keep up with the fashion.
She did not haunt the be,auty stores in
order to keep open pores.
When Adam capered home at night
he was no wearied plodder; he did
not shiver lest he might be served with
curious fodder. There were no papers,
so you see there was no Household
Recipe,
Old Adam was a happy bloke and
lived a life most cheery. He did not
know that he would choke some day
with his bacteria. Adam and Eve had
never read Health Articles to scare
them dead.
Eve never went through Adam's
breeks when he was sweetly dreaming,
because there were no Bargain Weeks
to tempt her to such scheming. The
serpent thought she was a goose. She
was too good for any use.
The serpent was a clever brute.
