Ranatteent speaking at Ottawa said :—Ten years ago Canada's exports of wheat, flour, oats, oatmeal, peas, cattle, cheese, butter, eggs, apples, sheep, lambs, pork, bacon and home were valued at $24,000,000. Last year our exports in then same lines were valued at $79,000,• 000. Here was an ieoreaee of 800 per. cent. But the limit is not yet reached. The total British imports in the artioles named last year amounted to 0446,000,- 000. I do not see any reason why, witbont any great increase in population but with an improvement in onr trane- portation facilities, we should not reaob the $200,000,000 mark in the export of these same prodnote within ten years ; and I hope to be here then to congratulate this committee on the aboompliabment.

The Grand Orange Lodge of Ontario Watt convened in tbeoity hall, Stratford, Wednesday afternoon of last week. There wee a good representation present from all parts of western Canada of dele- gates. Grand Master D. M. Jermyn of Wierton occupied tbe chair. After con• gratnlating the delegates for the fine at. tendanoe he delivered his annual address. From the reports then received the following figures have been taken : Io• Mated, 1,619 ; joined by oertifloate, 481 ; reinstated, 338 ; total, 2,488 ; withdrawn by eartifloae 644 died, 164 ; expelled, elled , 20 ; total, 8>8 ; net increase, 1,610. The report of tba Grand Treasurer E. F. Clark, showed that the total ramrtpte, inolnding the balance on band from last year, were $4,101.83 ; and the expendi- tures 02,608 20, leaving the sum of $1, 498.13 at the oredit of the Grand Lodge. The reoeipte were made ap as follows Balance from last year, 01,946.18 ; does from lodges, 02,145.10 ; interest on bank balanoee, 011.10 ; total, $4,101,33. The Larne Oilittes'e V4040005, shortly On retiringto oar tante ter the night it Meats('to rain and same down in torronte, but we were pita oom- hatable, ear tante keeping oat the wet ea well es a roof, We bonnie ao used to the rata that it did act to the slightest degree diotnrb nnr sleep. In fact, many timse we have bad terrific downpours w richo nl y one or two of our art ever heard, We were glad to have for teem past experience we know we would come to very shallow water before long, and the rains would swell the muautain creeks end rivets flowing info the lenoganti, wbiob would be gaits an advantage to us, for the Lingual wontd rise too. There i0 great danger in these shallow etretohee of river, The water is ao shallow and swift that it ie not an ua- common thing to have your canoe run upon the jagged point of a submerged reek and tear a hole Iberein ; and bark 01100e8 are very easily damaged this way. The next morning we breakfasted about seven ; the skywas overcast and a thick, heavy, bine mist overbong the river. The rain had ceased,leaviog everything dark and dreary, though not by any means cold ; on the contrary it was quite warm. It was on of my duties as aide. de•oamp to Mr. Davidson to attend to and take the barometer and thermometer readings three times daily—at 6 a. m„ 12 noon, and 6 p. m., or as soon after 6 as possible—oftentimes it wag nine or ten at night before I could take them, owing to the lateness in making Damp. We very rarely stopped at the stroke of six, for perhaps at that time we would be in a poor portion of aoantry for a oamp ground, and 50metimee we would have to paddle on for a number of miles before we found a good ground. We generally, however, succeeded in getting a nice oamp grouud: The most essential things about our 0amp grounds wee good fire. wood. At times this was bard to fled, but we tared very welt all .through our trip. Our timber and land expert was generally able to find some good, dry tamarao makes. This particular morn• tug, at 7.30, the thermometer registered 74 ° , pretty warm for the North to September. The barometer was low and todiaated more rain. The mist was eo heavy that it was impossible to discern the micrometer discs two obains away ; therefore we wisely decided to wait until the mist o:eared away, whiob was about 10.20, the sky still remaining dark and overcast. After making about 7 ranee we pulled in for "grub," to which ample justice was done. This portion of the river is truly grand ; quite noble and majeetio, Is is deep, olear, and from 20 to 50 chains in width. There are enemy large and beauti- ful islands, some from five to thirty sores in area, and very picturesque and grand. Many were the involuntary ex- olumtioae of admiration. I took a keen delight, as did also my canoe mate, Howard of Toronto, in making a number of enep-shoto from different points. (3 namber of these photo will appear in the report of the Bureau of Mines for 1900, soon to be issued). After our hearty meal we eterted on again, the sky becoming darker every mtonte, and about 2 p. m. we were treated to our "in. timate friend," a Scotch mist. It was a dandy, to an the words of our head ear• veyor. A very fine rain, so fine in fent that not a ripple was made on the water, yet it was penetrating enough to wet ne tbroagh and through in an incredibly short epees of time. It was nice and warm and we did net mind it very maob, only it prevented us seeing the scenery enjoyably. We came to a fall with a 10 foot fall around whish we portaged the trail, if it could be palled such, it being over a high rook and was very difficult to trek, the rain making the rook quite slippery, but we overcame this small difficulty, together with four abates, whiob we "ran." When about 4.80 we atraok what we called the "Long Rapids,' it being one of the longest on our survey, it was a few chains avec a mile and a bail shallow and lots of rooks. These rapids are never ran even by the Indiana, extapt in the early Spring when the freshet raises the river near,y 15 feet, thereby 000091ng the rook, but at this time of the year it would be an utter failure and destruction to elopes if not to life to attempt to "ran" them. They are avoided by a portage, of over a mile and a half. We went into oamp where there was a little clearing and lots of woodSome were throwing the tentse while others wereportage, orta t looking for the e , whiob wae very hard to find. At amen time it was not yet found and as it was still raining we decided to wait until morning. The thermometer dropped to 48—quite a drop in that short space of tune. We pat a huge fire in front of our three tante and after warming up a little we sought our blankets. Next morning we ware up before the rain had all passed R(3 0 exosllent heelh 005sere. she stye Plleotrie aittere are Paelt Splendid fee female troubles ; that they are a greed tonic and invigorates for weak, ran down women.

Tbie large inorease in expendi fast we all separated to look for the tura was owing to the additional sums voted to patriotio and oharitable institu- tions ; votes for organization purposes in the joriediction, and in paying expenses of delegates to the Imperial Orange Ceuta oil in New York.

Tbe report of the committee on nor• reepondeuoe was adopted. Among other things it recommended the appointment by the Grand Master of a special nom• mittee to investigate the matter of or. ganizing in new fields. It also advised the forwarding to the Britieh Secretary for the Colonies, Hon. Joseph Chamber• lain, the utterance of the Grand Diaster in his address regarding .the proposed ohange in Ole coronation oatb, and pro. testing against nth changes, aa also against the interference by the Dominion Parliament in the matter.

An Amerfoan er an Iinglishman would naturally think that by "butter" the delightful produot.of ohurned cream was meant ; he knows no other kind of butter, but we know that in this country, where butter was apparently known four thou sand years ago, it is not used by the na.• tives now (that is, batter made from (ream). Therefore, the question arose, What kind of butler did they use then or do they use now ? Dr. William Thomson says, "Neither the anoint nor the modern Oriental makes butter at all as we understand the ward," From further remarks on the subject, I oonolude that our proper Frangi butter was not a commodity in the Syrian market in Dr. rThomson's day, but I am thankful to say that of late years the natives have been taught to make churned cream butter, and now foreign readmits in Jerusalem, Damaaoue, Beyrout, and possibly a few other places, oan bay but. ter in the market. There is daily com- munication between our mountain village and Beyrout (twenty miles to the South- west of us), therefore we are able to ob tain butter whenever we choose to send for it. The natives, as a rule, do not we it ; in fact, only the better class of natives, who assume Frangi (French) modea of living, patronize it. Therefore, the question was still unan- swered. What kind of butter did Abra ham make ? While we were dieoassing, the subject, a maid appeared at the study door with a letter in her hand, saying that a beggar at the door had presented it, and was caking alms. It must be a kind of respectable beggar that travelled with testimonials, we thought, and we read the dooument with interest. It was in Arabic, and stated that Ameer Khaleel Saohre (a prince of Bedawy tribe) was a shepherd on a large scale, or rather a sheep importer, that he had travelled from Dleaffany, a town near Bagdad, through Northern Syria to Erzeroom, where he had purchased four thousand sheep, and on the way back (with his seven brothers and thirty-two hirelings) to dispose of them in Damascus, was attacked by Ebn al Hashed, a powerful Bedawy chief, known as Sultan el Barr (Desert Mon - arab), with one hundred and ninety eight horsemen. The hirelings fled, one of the brothers, who attempted resistance to the royal robber, was instantly speared through, and the sheep weredriven off. Thodoou- meat was signed and sealed by three men of position in Jaffa, Haifa, and Aoca, and the unfortunate subject of it cordially recommended to the sympathies and obarity of the publio. "The arrival of this man is very oppor tune," said my husband, "he will be able to answer any questions you like on the subject of 'butter: Suppose you go down and interview him." The suggestion was adopted with alac- rity, and in a few minutea our interesting visitor, a genuine Bedawy type, with his head almost entirely enveloped in the folds of his kafeyeh (large handkerchief kept iu position with two thick coile of cement hair), initiated us into all the mysteries of desert dairying, and we understood for the first time what is meant by the "butter of the Bible." The batter that Abraham made and that the Bedawy of to day uses, ie made of churned lebben. When travellers speak of lebben, they gall it "curdled" milk, "blotted" milk, or some such epithet, for this is the nearest description they can give of 11, because the thing is not koowo in America or England, unless it has been lately introduced by the Syrians, who have emigrated in consider- able numbers to the United States. I do not think I am wrong in supposing that 1to know' m readers would like how lab ben is made, and although I am not given to writing cook book recipes I will vers. tore tbia one, forit cannot be imitated, and therefore I am safe. "You take, say, six pounds of milk and heat it to a little below the boiling point take it off the fire, put it into a crook, and stir into it 0, dessertspoonful of old lebben (that is, lebben of a previous make ; you may have a' little left over from breakfast, or your neighbor will give you a little. Then you set it aside for eight or ten hours (say over night) and it is ready for use. The old lebben has acted as leaven, and hie permeated the whole and paused the milk to become thick, "plotted," if you like. Now, in order to make butter, the lab. ben is put into a akin bottle or earthen. ware crock, and rolled backwards and forwards until the butter "comes." Our princely visitor told us many more things of interest, but one must not tell all one knows at one. Dr. Howie asked him why he had not complained to the Wallin Aleppo about the raid ? He said he had done so, but the Wall had given him no redreee. He merely said, "Bring the robber to me and I will see what can be done," and this is a fair specimen of how justice is done, or rather is not done, in that country. Shweir, Mt. Lebanon, Steele. portage and it was a very difficult teak. Mr. Davidson and I met, both had enter• ed the woods from different pointe. Hs said he found something that looked like a trail, and also that a oariboo or moose bad passed that way very recently. We et came followed the trait for a conaider• able distance bat it turned out nil. We followed the deer tracks but could not eight him. We returned to oamp end as It was about noon we had dinner. Two of the man, timber mac and geologist, had not got in. Shortly after one o'clock they arrived with the joyful news of "trail found." They found it not five ohaina from where on oamp was, but it took them a long time. The reason we could nut find it sooner was that a wind• fall bad completely obliterated the trail for nearly half a mile. They bad been wandering about the woods and were re- turning to oamp by another direction when they neap across it. Coming to the part where the windfall obatruoted it, they returned baok to oamp, each carry- ing three nice plump partridges. The afternoon was spent by alt bande work. ing on the trail, cutting away the fallen trees, and it took as until nearly dark to make the trail passable.
