p.m., a shortrun of about an hour,
lht
- ° brought us again to Borden where
our train was again shunted with the
process of being loaded on the huge ferry and taken across the Strait of
Northumberland, distange of twelve
miles, Some went over with the
Peri y and back again after the last
half of the train, others were con_
tented to watch the huge thing sail
away, (a pretty sigllt too, all lit up,)
and then go to becl and rest after
having spent on the Island, one of
the most pleasant days of the tour..
PARTY VISITS _MONCTON
' A' night's 'ran brought us to Monc-
ton N.B. here was our first glimpse
01 , ome. Within sight of the depot
was a branch of The. T. Eaton Co:,
and where we were able to purchase
a copy of the Termite Globe in which
we read about the wave', of heat
which liad enveiloped Ontario during
our absence: Here also we were
again driven in motor cars a distance
of eighteen miles to Point du Chene,
a beautiful sept on the sea shore,
where some 'gathered 'sea shells, oth-
ers amused themselves on the beach:
Here again a luncheon was tendered
consisting of lobsters, bread and but-
ter and all the Ginger Ale one's
heart 'desired, all: very appetizing
and much enjoyed. On our return
to the depot about 12°15, the Citiz-
ens' Band sacrificed their noon hour
to enliven our visit with its excellent
music. At 12.3'd our train pulled
away.
Our,nextstop was at New Castle,
where is located the largest wireless
station in the.' world, occupying al-
most an acre of land We were met
here by autos again and driven along
the beautiful Miramichi River where
were several large lumbering mills
and where -large vessels were being
loaded with lumber, for a distance
of ten -miles to a town called Chat-
ham, then back and on board the
train, having been gone about 'an
hour.

AT SUMMEI SIDE
During the drive to Summerside,
on looking over the country there is
a striping resemblance of tlie country
to Ontario. The land was more
level, but having a soil of reddish
loam, considered very rich. They
fertilize with oyster shell taken out
of the oyster beds, which in' ,places
are twenty feet deep. This is gath-
ered in winter; piled in heaps. and in
the summer' spread over the land and
will continue -to fertilize for five or
ten years. All along this drive were
kiddies welcoming us by waving
flags and one small town we passed
was very prettily decorated. This was
inueh appreciated by everyone and
Rev. Mr. Moore dict not forget to
mention it in his speech.
From Summerside we went by
train to .Chai•letown, .where we .were
again driven by: motor around the
city and to places of interest,: one in
particular being the building and
into the very room where Confeder-
ation was signed, where also we list
ened to a few short speeches by the`
Lieut. Governor, mayor and others.'
Thiscityof 12,000 .population is
very pretty and industrious and its
inhabitants, neat, thriftya;; and con_
tented. It is said there are no'inort-
gages in Prince Edward Island and
lawyers have a very scant living.
The rural scenery of:the island t
t .s.
noticably pretty, dotted with pleasazlt
looking farms, some of which : have
beautiful _hedges instead of fences;
which give it the appearance of One
large garden, and it is indeed appro
priately termed the "Garden of the

to Levis, Quebec, directly opposite
el ec City, Y, early Sunday morning.
Connection between. those two cities
is operated' by a" Ferry crossing the
St, Lawrence every • few minutes.
At Levis the party went on board
a boat and we were taken for a ride
on the St. Lawrence River, viewing
thea historic shores of Quebec City;
as far as the famous Quebec bridge,
Land on returning wore lauded at
Quebec. ' Here some went to church
'while the writer, with - others, went
to the citadel through which we were
escorted by one of the soldiers, who
gave us an interesting explanation
of the surroundings.
At one o'clock the party were en_
tertained by the C.N.R. to a dainty
luncheon at the Chateau Frontenac,

address.
Afterwards we were taken on Ino -
tor 'cars to the Plains of Abraham,
and otherplacesof historic interest,
then: to the home of the Lieut; Gov-
ernor, who with.. his wife, received us
with a hand clasp and who' himself
escorted us through his beautifully
spacious gardens` and showed us
Wolfe's Cove, the exact spot where
that victorious army leader landed,
and even the very tree under which
the ate his last breakfast. From
there we were taken through the
oldest and narrowest street in the
city, Lou -le -Cap.
At four• o'clock the party entrain_
ed again; going over the Quebec
bridge, arriving at Montreal about
midnight; where our two diners,
which had befriended us all the. way,
were left behind. Arriving at Tor-
onto Monday morning, most every-
body was horrified to realize that
their trains leaving Toronto had
gone and that it was impossible to
get home in time to vote, but all
feeling that we liad had a most beau-
tiful and wonderful trip and many
were the thanks extended to the
Canadian' National Railway and the
Canadian Pacific Railway.
This concludes our account of the
trip through the Maritime Provinces.
RASPBERRIES
With the circling of the seasons,
the bine for wild raspberries has
come again. The mere mention of
them is enough to conjure up visions
of a berry patch, mostly brush piles
and ground -hog holes and plentifully,
blessed with mosquitoes. There are
those, who in open scorn of such
trivial things as scratches and bites,
comb the countryside every summer
and could lead you unerringly to
where the best patches lie—but they
don't.
Everyone who has followed tlt
lure of the red juicy fruit, can tel
you that the best red rasps invari
ably grow in the middle of a fearfu
looking brush -heap They must be
had, and the picker heroically wades
in, but he never forgets that awful,
sinking, when -will -I -stop, feeling

step each of which carries him deep.
er into the crumbing depths, to the
accompaniment of snapping branch-
es. And oh horrors! what if the
Timmins' or the Johnstons' on the
other side of the patch should hear
the racket!
Out from the centre of crumbling
stumps the black -cap ' bushes rear
their lordly stems and the shining
berries glint 'alluringly thlrough the
jungle. But oh! those barby branch_
es that cling with grim tenacity to
clothing, hair and skin, in fact, to
every portion of the picker's anatomy
which is not too tough to be pierced.
The `wait-abit' thorns of the desert
have nothing on the Canadian black-
caps.
,Thee, wind falls and so does the
sweat, Old Sol rolls .higher, Inc bet-
