The Brussels Post, 1893-4-21, Page 6Qanada At Tile World
Fair.
Out of 500,000 upon feet of apace
awarded to Great Britain for her exhibit
at the Fair, the parent country resery
800,000000 square foot for hereelf and
ke
200,000to her weenies. Canada, tl
premier colony, received just one.half
the space. Impreseed by the generosity
01 the gift, itis little wonder thtut the Do-
minion has laid plans for a magnificent
exhibit, which is now taltiug visible elope
under the direction of an able and en-
thusiasbie body of commissioners. In
every department Canada will be well
represented, the greatest display being in
agriculture, manufactures, mines and
mining and fisheries.
The general Dominion exhibit will be
supplemented by special exhibits from
the provinces. Committees representing
the provinces have worked with a will
and as a result the vat'ied,interesting and
almost unlimited resnurcee of a country
that stretches for 3,100 miles, from Nova
Scotia on the East, to British Columbia
on the West, will be represented in al-
most every department.
In the 15,000 feet awarded to Canada,
intheagrioaltural department there will
be an exhibit of almost every product
that a rich, agricultural country can pro•
dune. From cold storage warehouses
will be brought farm and garden product
representing )set season's crops. .e'ood
supplies of all kinds will also be exhi-
bited, canned foods of every variety, and
Canadian whiskey, ale and beer.
England has promised a big cheese for
the Fair, but Canada will outdo her and
all other competitors by sending a per -
feet monster -9 feet in diameter, G feet
in height and 11 taus in weight. A pro-
fessor supervised the making of the
cheese—the Dominion dairy commis-
sioner, J. W. Robertson. I3e guaranteed
for it the perfect Savor of the finest
cheese his country can produce. It con•
tains the milk of 10,000 cows for one day.
Canadians intend to have a gala Joy
when they instal it on a space specially
prepared on the floor of the agricultural
building. Many offers have been made
to the Canadian government to purchase
the cheese at the close of the exposition
but alt have been refused. One big Eng-
lish firm of cheese dealers has offered to
buy it at a reasonable figure and spend
$10,000 in taking it from fair to fair in
England. It is possible that this may be
accepted the government believing that
the advertisement would be beneloial to
the dairy interests of Canada and might
l:e a perceptible aid to emigration.
In the agricultural annex Canada is
preparing a lino dismay, the Massey -
Harris company, of Toronto, being the
largest exhibitors, with a varied line of
machinery in motion which will incident.
ally place the manufacturing interests of
the Dominion in a favorable limit.
Every province of Canada has added
its quota of mineral wealth to the dis-
play in the mining building and the
whole will be highly creditable and not a
little surprising to American proprietors
who have never looked for wealth be-
yond the boundaries of the United
States.
00 the floor of themanufaetnres bu�ld-
ing 10,000 feet of space is in the hands of
Canada. Cottons, woolens, tweeds, cord.
age, musical inetrnments, iron wood,
copper aid brass, leather and wood will
all be represented.
Indian children will be found at work
in the educational section, showing the
result of education and government su-
pervision among the tribes of the north
and west.
.From day to day the stock of fresh
fruits shown by Canada in the hortioul•
tura) building will be renewed and the
possibility of a big export trade in these
will be amply demonstrated. Almost an
unlimited number of choice shrubs and
plants have been planed at the disposal
of Mr. Awrey, commissi"net for Ontario,
by private persons, In addition to the ex.
bibles made by growers.
Already the 0auadian Paoifie railway
train la part shows what the Dominion
will do in the transportation building.
A still more interesting exhibit will be
made by the eompauy, which is con-
curuoting at a fabulous cost a ship rail-
road across the neck of the land dividing
Bay Vert, in Nova Scotia, Iran the Bay
of Fundy. Title road will be thirteen
mike long and se fat is the only one of
its kind projected. The working andel
will chow how the cradle runs in the eon,
lifting the vessel and its cargo complete,
carry it across the laud and deposit it in
its natural element, without disturbing
a spar or a bele of merchandise. The
importance of this railroad, when it is
completed, to American trade to St.
Lawrence and with Great Britain will be
simply inestimable.
In machinery, electricity, fine arts and
forestry Canada will show to good ad-
vantage. The school exhibit in the liber-
al arts section promisee exceptionally
well.
In live stook the Dominion has enter-
ed cows for the dairy test and will have
besides an exhibit of 100 horses, 150
cattle, 800 pigs, 500 sheep, 200 dogs and
poultry and pigeons in any number.
To accommodate the large staff of
officers required to supervise this 'ergo
exhibit a neat little house has been built
on the lake front It has a ground area
of 08x40 feet, with a wide verandah. On
the first boor is a reception hall and two
rooms for Ontario, two for Quebec and
two for the Dominion commissioners,
On the second hoer are two mono for
the Northwest territories, two for Mani.
toba, ole for British Columbia and one
for Nova Soothe. Above the ssaond story
rises a tower n'hiah will be it emeltieg
room and a caretaker's room. The pro-
vincial apartments aro finished with
woods peculiar to the provinces, These
chiefly need are cherry, walnut, cedar,
bitdeoye maple, oak, ash, butternut and
Douglas fir.
Ib is expected that the Canadian hoes°
will be used as a rendezvous for all Can-
adian visitors to the Fair. To provide
connecting links with tri°oda who 'ornate
at home, the editors of 1100 newspapers
published across the borders have agreed
to scud oopise of their publications to
Jackson park during the progress Of the
Fair.
AN EVENTFUL JOURNEY.
Ono in a western forest,
Where the thfuket 'snuffy grew,
Where the golden light of heaven
Seemly dared to struggle through,
ed There groped n weary traveller
t ' ul y lost ti
Who had bht 1 hie way
Y
to Ac the shades ofiii ht *row darker
And 'Repelled the h„ et of day.
Foul murders had polluted oft
This dismal, lone retreat,
And tore had robbers banded
With their hidden, stealthy feet.
A thrill of horror darted
Through his wild and frenzied mind
As, in despair, no beaten road,
Or pathway aonld bo find.
At taste distant ray of light
His anxious eye dieeorued,
And, gladdened by this gleam of hope,
Hie faithful steed he turned,
He reached a wretched cabin,
Soares a fit abode for man,
Perhaps the den of robbers—
Oh, imagine, if yen can,
His awe and strange emotion
As he neared the creaking door,
Where none, perhaps, but ruffians
Had ever knocked before,
'Twee opened by a woman
Who beheld him with surprise,
As the cause of his intrusion
She endeavored to surmise.
She told him that her husband,
Who would presently return,
Had been out all day bunting
That a living he might earn ;
But thought she'd give him shelter
From the wintry, chilling air,
She Laid him to unhitch his horse,
And offered him a chair.
He sat and mused in silence,
His alarm was very great,
He expected an euanunter
And was doubtful of hie fate ;
For hidden in his poaltete
There were bank.bills by the score,
Concealed about his person
Precinns gang and valued ore.
At leugtb the man, in desr.skin shirt,
And bear -skin cap attired,
The hunter came with weary tread,
For many a shot he'd 'red.
As hours posed he silent sat,
Was in no talking mood,
And this, the anxious traveller thought,
Betokened naught of good,
He tock his loaded pistols out
And placed therm by his side,
Determined to sell deur his life,
Where braver sten had died.
At last the old man drowsy grew,
And asked him t0 retire
Bub no, be said he'd rather sit
All night before the fire.
"Well, stranger," then the old man said,
"I'll let you have your way ;
But always, ere I go to bed,
I read God'e Word and pray."
Then, stepping to a wooden shelf,
He reverently took down
A Bible, dingy, old and worn,
And soon a chapter found.
The travelter was an infidel,
He scorned the Holy Book,
Its snored conceal oft condemned,
Its paths of right forsook
But what to change Dame o'er his mind !
How very calm he grew I
There was no reason for alarm
Now, this full well he knew ;
That night be slept as still and sound
As 'math hie father's roof.
The sceptic was ionviuood at last,
Of this he soon cave proof,
For, from that long-remsmbared uight,
Be ne'er reviled again
The Holy Word, the ".Book of Books,"
That none shall read in vein.
A Christian be at last became,
And often told the story
. Of how his wayward steps were turned
From sin to God and glory.
