Cool er, Contractor Ae the time is now at hand when the House of Refuge is to receive its inmates, a detailed desoription of the building will be of interest to our readers. It is hard- ly necessary to recapitulate all the steps which, after many years' waiting and work, led to the establishment of the House of Refuge and farm as an asylum for those indigent or disabled inhabitants of the county whose circumstances force them, often even after a life of . ceaseless industry, to look for their sustenance at the hands of their more fortunate fellow citizens. In the line building which has been erected for this purpose by the County of Huron, on the London road, half -a -mile South of Clinton, every detail which humanity could suggest, consistent with proper economy, for the care and comfort of those who are brought as inmates, has been attended to, and health, as well as every other requisite, will be attended to in the House on the hill. The fine, breezy situation, commanding such extensive views of the country, forms alfine site for a building whose only ornamentation can be the arrangement of its parts to gain an architectural effect and give some- what of the monumental-obaracter which should skew the public building. Owing to the restrictions imposed on the designers by the dada regulations, the height was limited to two stories, and greater height was obtained for the 'ele- vation by keeping the basement as much as possible above the ground. The total length of the building is one hundred and twenty feet by a depth of forty-three feat; behind this extends: a wing thirty six by thirty-nine, the same height as the main building, and a one story addition as coal shed, etc., in rear. Corridors run the full length of the build. ing-North and South -on each floor. The basement is nearly all covered with cement concrete, even those portions which have wooden floors have concrete grouted under them, This flat is occu- pied bytheboiler and "`--- room -room in. connection therewith, laundry, and store room for near everything whioh can be kept under the house roof, Theends of the building are oe• copied by wash -rooms and lavatories ; the front at eaoh'eo. be- ing large, cheerful and light Winter work rooms. Throughout the whole of the floors the full and complete separation of the sex- es has been carefully provided for ; each corridor having a screen' and doors which are kept locked and under -the con- trol of the manager, ho " 000tlples th non -corrosive mattresses. The manager has kis private bedroom in the centre, and has control of the stairway to the, attic, in wbioh is the steel water -tank from which the supply is drawn for the pnrpoe- es of the house, and which in its turn is supplied from the well by the pumping of the wind -mill, Tho design provides for the accommo- dation of seventy-two inmates with very ample space, so that should ootasion arise the number might be increased to very nearly one hundred, the only limit being the sleeping facilities as at present built ; the kitchen, dining rooms, eta., providing for a larger number than will now occupy them. Future extensions will form wings to North and South of the main building, and be devoted to dormitories and private inmate's rooms. Plumbing of good quality has been in- troduced into the building, and baths and closets are on each floor: where needed. In addition to the accommodations of the house itself the building affords a small hospital, with a men's ward,, wom- en's ward, and lying -fn . ward. The hospital can be entirely isoloted from the other part of the building. The low pressure steam, with Safford Radiators, is that adopted by the archi- tects as the means of warming the _build- ing, the steam being generated in a large boiler built of Siemens and Dalziel steel plates, tested when built, np to 160 lbs„ the heaviest pressure, however, will not exceed under any circumstances ''eight pounds, the automatic blow off vitives fit- ted on every radiator provide for letting off steam at that pressure. The building has been erected under the personal superintendence of one of the architects, J. Ades Fowler, of the firm of Fowler J Fowler, whose designs were chosen by the Committee out of nine sets sent in competition ; it has been erected by Contractor Samuel. S. Cooper, for the sum of $0,874, and the extra • works in- - volved are not of an extensive nature. The building, . as Trow finished, is a plain, serviceable,sub stanbial pile, built for nee, and for . public purposes. It willre- main a monument to those who had the constructing of it, and whose names are destined to be handed down to posterity by a marble tablet, iu a handsome hardwood frame, on which are i inscribed thenames of the Warden, Build- ing Committee and 0001801, also County Officials, Architects and Contractor.'

On the farm is a very cosy barn with steno stabling, also a small orchard, small private rooms on this floor for aged couples or paying inmates.

Al- most everybody stays here for a day or two and we thought we might with profit follow the example. Banff was consti- tuted a few years ago a National Park by the Federal Government, An oblong piece of territory, 10 miles wide and 26 miles long, was surveyed and laid out'fo that purpose. Considerable improv menta have been made by the Govern meat in the way of building roads to the various points of interest. We found luxurious quarters in a largo and well conducted hotel perched upon a hill over looking the Bow and Rapid Spray rivers From the balconies of the hotel a charm lug and delightful view is before ue. To the left the Bow river is seen rushing along between its rooky banks, and when almost beneath us it overleaps three sue• cossive precipices. constituting the beauti- ful and picturesque falls of th.,Bow river. A -few yards below the falls the, Bow river receives the dear, swift . noisy waters of the Rapid Spray river. Those, united glide off in an easterly direction among the defiles of the moumtains, car- rying their clear, crystal waters to the sluggish and muddy waters of the Little Saskatchewan. Several mountain peaks surround the hotel, each differing from the other in beauty, form and altitude. This "Park" is now famous_ for its hot sulphur. springs, which have, as many say, great curative effects upon rheuma- tism and allied diseases. We did not test efficacy of the baths as we were in no way affeoted with the diseases which they oure. We put in at Banff a day of rich enjoyment. On the morning of Wednesday, 99nd August,. we were aroused before the cock crew to be in readiness for the west bound train, which was to arrive at Banff station ab 7 o'clock a. m. Two hours run from Banff we reach the summit of the Rookies, about a mile above the level of the sea, but above this level the snow-cap- ped mountains lift their heads aloft from 5,000 to 7,000 feet higher, so that their summits are from: two to two and a half miles above sea level. Here we have reached the great ""watershed" of the continent, or, as it is called, the "Great Divide." Here, from a common source, two streams start out in different direc- tions, the waters of one finding their way eastward to the Atlantic and the waters of the other westward to the Pacific. We follow the westbound stream -the Wepta or Ricking Horse Pass river. About ten miles below the "Divide" we pass around the base of Mt. Stephen. This stupendous mountain rises 8,000 feet above the railway track and holds upon one of its shoulders a glacier 500 feet thick and for a moment we feel um - easy lest it took a notion at that instant to slip down upon our devoted heads. On the broad side of this mountain could be traced a kind of traiuway, and we are told this leads down from the miner's shanties, which are seen 2,000 feet above like little dots upon the jutting ledges of the mountain. We wondered what dangers people would not and hard- ships they would not undergo for the almighty dollar." Two hours run from the "Groat Divide" brought us to the valley of the Columbia river. Sweeping around the Columbia valley, we follow the river for about twenty miles to the town of Donald. Here we oross the river and follow down the stream through a great moot, and, as the Columbia river takes a great detour to the north we, leave it and enter the Beaver valley and commence the assent of the "Selkirks." For twenty miles we olimb along moun- tain sides, through dense and magnificent forests of oder u 1 o n d Douglas fir. Aero, at the summit of the ' Sellark" range, 4,000 feet above the level of the sea, we behold many mountain peaks thousands of feet above us in the cold embrace of glaciers which began ages ago and will hold sway for ages to come. A struggle is over going on between the glacier and the warm Summer sun, and what "Old King Sol"dissolves lu summer is more than repaired by °Jack Frost" in the winter, and so the battle rages. We now. descend the westerly slope of the "Sol - kirks" and roach the "Glacier Honso" in the immediate vfefnfty of the "Great Glacier" and remain for diuuer. This glacier has an area of thirty-six square limes and le several1 hundred feet in thickness and is aro i v Led and tunnelled in a thoueaud clireotions by frost mod melt- ing snow and ice.: The lllicillewaeb river has its souroe in this glacier. Be' aide the "Groat Glacier" stands the grandest peak of the "Sellcirks"-Sir Donald -called after Sir Donald A. Smith. This mountain risen in a bare pyramidal peak 8,000 feet above the railway track. Away to the west we. sec glistening among h g g o g t o trees the TllfOflle• waist river along whose precipitous bank the railway rues. To get down into its valley the railway has: to take a series of turns, which forms what is called the "Loop." The eXaminatiou of this 'loop was interesting and instructive, as it pre. seated to us a feat of engineering ability 1910011 is seldom surpassed. This extra. ordinar piece of engineering was o Y 1 gr g render. ed necessary to bring the railway track from a higher to a moll lower level with - lo a sllort distance, We plunge again for hours through precipitous gorges and rock bound ca000s and again cross the Ooluinbia river after its return from its detour to the north at Revelstoke, We now 00104 to the Gold range, another series of snow Diad mountains, They are broken acrose the centre and a way for the railway is opened up between parallel lines of vertical oiiffs of 000rm0as freight. For about 40 miles along the sides of deep lakes and oonnocting streams, we make our way, the light of day almost exclud- ed by the height of the surrounding mountains, At length the sun flashes out, which indicates that we have emerg- ed from the "Pass" and we see out before us the great Sbuswap lake, with its arms stretching r out anion t mountains. gg he mo to ns. A few minutes later we draw up at Moe - mous Junction where we intend to leave the main line and visit a friend at Ver- non, 40 miles down Spellamsheen Valley. Iiere we met Su McKenzie Bowel', Premier o Canada, f Ho Thos. Phos . Daly, Minister of the. Interior, and Mrs. Daly, with whom we lead a pleasant chat. They were returning from the Coast. P.

ADDITION,t.L 000,%A NEWS. r Now TEAelrane.-Brussels School e- Board met last Monday evening to make • a selection from the 141 applications re. oeived for the two vaoanoifes made by the resignations of Miss Braden and Miss Cooper. It was dsoided to ohoose the teacher for the 2nd Department first and no small task was undertaken to do this out of the splendid array of qualifications and recommendatio e a n e presented in the 70 applications. After oareful consider- ation Mise M. Linton, of Whitby, was. seleoted at a salary of $300 per annum. A telegram was sent to this lady on Tuesday and her aeoeptance was reedy - ed in' the afternoon of the same day. Mica Linton holds a 2nd-olass profession- al certificate, and has attended a session of the School of Pedagogy at Toronto and, has tip-top testimonials. The Board adjourned until Wednesday evening when they met to decide on a Primary teacher, all members present except A. Hunter. Here, as on Monday, there was no short- age of flret.class material, asthere were 71 applications, The first choice, by bal- lot, was Miss Jean' Ritchie, the salary to be $2.25 per annum. Miss Ritchie has a 2nd -class professional certificate, and has taught in the Milibaok school for the past two years with ' marked success. blissRobertson, of •Kincardine, was named in case' of of Ritchie not accept- ing. Board then' adjourned. Snr5NTgro LECTURE. -A full house and a most intelligent and appreoiative audi enoe assembled in the school room of St. John's church on Thursday evening of last week, to bear. Rev. H. D. Steele, of St. Mary's, discourse ou "Genesis and Geology." The reverend lecturer gave a rapid survey of the course of creation, and instituted a paralleleum between the several days or aeons of creation, as re• corded by the sacred writer, and the vari- ous formations of rook examioed by eminent scientific men -showing that substantial harmony existed between the Word of God and the works of the Creator. The leotnrer, in concluding a most instructive address, pointed ont the fallacy of the Evolution theory, contend- ing on the authority of the best recogniz- ed scientists, that no speoies of plant or animal differed from its parent or ;pre. deoessor,'aud that until the missing link was found between the chimpanzee and man, the Darwinian theory of evolution must be voted as "a delusion and a snare." Christians of every name might' safely entrust their lives of immortality to the teachings of that Book whioh has been "given by inspiration"- and which held' out to them the prospects of living and reigning with Christ in the future, in a resurrection body that will never die, and perfecting their nature in that "new heaven and new earth, wherein dweileth rigbteoasnese." A vote of thanks was cordially tendered the lecturer for kis in- strnctive and inspiring address. Huron County. At four o'clock Tuesday morning the dwelling of P ranois John Davis, seven mites from Lucian, in the Township of Usborne, was burned to the ground. Mrs. Davis perished in the flames and Mr. Davis was badly burned on the hands and arms. The fire originated in the kitchen from some unknown cause and the entire house was aflame inside before Mr. and Mrs. Davis, who were alone sleeping upstairs. were awakened. The dense smoke made escape almost impos- sible, bub Mr. Davis managed to find bis way downstairs, badly burned and more dead than alive. Alter recovering him- self and not finding his wife, whom he supposed land followed him downstairs, he made desperate efforts bo save her, but being alone he melddo nothing. He never saw her after he left the bedroom. Tuesday morning: the obarred remains were no larger than a foot square. Mr. and Mrs. Davis were married last Spring. She was a Miss Crearey, and both were residents of Usborne. The: sad affair has caused the utmost grief throughout Us- borne and Bid dl ll, b where the unfortan- F ate Mrs, Davie and her husband were well and favorably known. Another die. patch eaya that when Mr. Davis jumped out of bed be caught his wife in his arms and made his way down stairs through the dense smoke. By thetime he readi- ed the bottom of the stairs, however, he was so overcome with smoke and fames that he wee compelled to drop his wife on the floor. Breaking through the door he called to ber to follow him, but his horror may be imagined when he found that she did not follow. He made desperate ef- forts to enter the hone° again through the door and windows, but was repulsed each time by smoke and flames. In his efforts to rescue, kis wile Mr, Davis was badly burned and out by window glass. Alt that could be 'found of the remains of Mrs. Davie could be put in a quart meas. are.
