The Brussels Post, 1893-5-19, Page 66 Canada At The World's Fair, The xleminion of Canada will wimpy no mean position at the World's Pair. That Canada is a country of wonderful resources, in fact, must become apparent to all who axaumfne the splendid exhibits Which bave been sant from the various proviuoea. It is oreditable to the en- terpriso of its people that from the very inception of the exhibition they took an active interest in it, and that their efforts will be euooesaful iD competing with the producers of the world iu many lines cannot be doubted. In almost every lino the Dominion makes a show, and in many of them she will more than hold her own. Ontario, which has always held rank as the leading agricultural province, sustains her reputation in this direction with a magnificent exhibit of all kinds of agricultural products, grains, roots, vegetables, cheese, butter, fruits, horses, cattle, swine, sheep, poultry, all of the finest quality to be found any- where. The great grain -growing country of the Northwest Territories also comes up in a manner which produces universal surprise, and farmers in Southern lati- tudes find it difficult to believe that such wouderfui suocess in agriculture can be achieved iu that Northern zone. The Northwest show of grains, grasses, roots and vegetables will be an imposing feature during the whole of the exhi- bition. Manitoba and Quebec also distinguish themselves in this rasped', while the Paoifio provinoe of British Columbia excels especially in the pro• duets of the mine, fisheries, forestry and hortioniture. Speoial mention may be made of the grent obeese exhibit, in which most of the provinces take part. The mammoth cheese, eleven tons in weight, is one of the huge items of this exhibit. In addition to the articles mentioned above, there will be exhibits in theeduoational, ethnological. natnral history, manufacturing end alt depart- ments. At the opening oeremonies the Do- minion was represented, in the absence of Sir John Thompson, who was in Paris attending the Behring sea arbitration, by acting primmer, the Hon. McKenzie Bowels, accompauied by Hon. A. It. Augers, minister of agriculture for the Dominion. Both of these gentlemen left for their homes highly pleased with their experiences in the World's Fair city, TRU CANADIAN PAVILION. The Canadian pavilion stands upon a -site of nearly six thousand square feat of ground on the lake shore, but a short dis- tance fromitbe United States battle ship, and almost opposite Victoria house, the handeem° and substantial building that has been erected by Great Britain, and in one of the meet delightful localities in Jackson park. The view !eons the "look• out" on the tower of the pavilion is simply perfect. It extends on one side to where the restless waters of the great lake seam to kiss the distant horizon ; and on the ether side takes in the magni- ficent pier, the architecturally beautiful peristyle and Music hall, with glimpses of the historic convent of Rabida, the great manufactures and liberal arts building with its rich Corinthian arohi- tecture,the United States govornment building—that architectural poen—the fisheries building, and many of the fine, expensive edifices erected by foreign nations. The Canadians are delighted with the site awarded them, and would not exchange with any other state or nation in the park. The pavilion has three entrances ; n main or front ontr roe facing the south• east, andetwo entrances on the east and west respectively. The front eutrenee is through the tower and has three door- ways, and opposite this main entrance is the grand stairway, beneath and in the rear of which aro numerous and well. tatted lavatories. In the entrance hall are located the postofliee, the telephone office, and au intelligence office. Off from the en• trance hall is the reception room. Over five hundred Canadian newspapers are on file here, so that a Canadian visitor can hardly Dome from any quarter of the vast dominion without finding the news- paper of hie locality, and is thus enabled to keep himself an. fait. with events at home. To the left of the main entrance are two handsome offices for time domin• ion commission, four for commissioners from different provinces of Canada, a committee room and a fins large parlor for the see of the whole staff. On the second floor are the tower room and the smoking room, and in the attic above is the dormitory for the guardian of the pavilion. As the cum appropriated for the ere°. tion of the pavilion was limited, a plain style of architecture bad to be adopted. Running around all sides of the building is a verandah ten feet wide, with a balcony above of the same width. The balcony is supported by twenty.eigltt Tuscan columns. Tho walls at the eaves of the roof are finished with n bold dental cornice, The 'pavilion is oovered with a low pitched roof, partly hidden by a parquet wall. The tower, as it issues through the roof, is circular, and fe divided into twelve panele • beneath .these are detached pilasters. She walls are finished with a dental cornice, over which is an open balustrade. Over this is the "look out" whence rises the flag- pole, from which, from sunrise to sunset, proudly floats the Canadian flag. There is a well -finished stairway from the ground floor to the "look -out" of the tower, whence, as already stated, a fine view can be obtained of the lake and surrounding park and buildings. BEAUTIFUL POLISm1ED WOODS. There is no piaster work in any part of the interior of this pavilion, the walls and ceilings being handsomely finished With native Canadian woods, highly tolishedand showing the natural grain. ach province of Canada bas furnished the native woods required to finieh its individual rooms. Ons office, occupied by the commissioner and staff from On• tario, has a coiling in pine, walla of ohesteut, waiueootting in oak, mouldings and mantel in (Morey, doors of oak,obair rail of walnut and floor of maple ; and the second office bas a coiling of maple, walls of oak, wainscotting of birch, mantle of birds•eye maple, floor of white maple, moulding of ash and ehair.rail of walnut. The commission from the province of Quebec will have luxuriant quattere in one older', with a ceilingfintshed in white maple, wainscotting of butternut, mantel of cherry, doors of ash and cherry mould- ings ; while their second room hie e coiling of pine, walls of rill, meetele of butternut, lvainsootting of birch, doore of ash and mouldings el otharry. The rooms to be onoupfed by the 4o. minion commission, the oommibtes room, reception room, corridors, etc., are to be tluislmed with timberfromBritish Colum. big—the ceilings being of Douglas pine, the walls of cedar, the wainscotting of sprues, the doors of oedar, oedar mould- ings, and the beautiful Doaglas pine also for floors. The rooms to be 000upied by the repro. eentatives from the other proviuoea of Canada are finished in a similar manner, and with woods indigenone to the different localities. The main stairway is menstruated of British Columbia woods—the treads of the stair being of Douglas fir, the strings of oedar, and the newel poste, hand railings and banisters being of early maple. ClIAm1D0N0 SURROUNDINGS. Arouud the pavilion is a neat plot of ground oovored with a beautiful green turf, dotted bare and there with native Canadian shrubbery and conveniently and artistically divided with serpentiue roadways and walks. This building, with its furnishings and surroundings, octet over 00,000, was de- signed by the public works' department at Ottawa, and the work of construction was carried on by the department's as- sistant architect, D. Ewart. The Can. adian staff consists of J. S. Luke, executive commissioner for the dominion ; W. D. Dimook, secretary ; N. Awrey, commissioner for Ontario ; Hon, A. 0. P. R. Laudry, for Quebec ; Hon.

If a man is his brother's keeper, still more is he his sister's. When master and workman unite, the work is soon done. Give one sin the right of way, and it will wreck the universe. Every duty we omit obscures some truth we should have known. Ib is not the biggest pipes in the organ that are need the most. Many of our cares are but a morbid way of looking at our privileges. No space of regret can make anaemia for one's life opportnolties misused. The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never excuse's himself. The intelligent have a right over the ignorant—namely, the right of instruct- ing them. The home where each member has learned to rule his or her own spirits is an ideal home. The world is full of lion fighle's, hub it is betel to find people who won't run from a hornet, The vanity of human life is like a river, constantly passing away, yet constantly coning on, Most of our misfortunes are more sup- portable than the comments of our friends upon them. Ideals which only float ie the mind and are not realized in the life will evaporate and disappear. Genius is only entitled to respect when it promotes the peace and improves the happiness of mankind. Men of genius are often dull and inert in society ; as the blazing meteor, when it descends to earth, is only a Motto. Kind words are the golden rivets which help to hold together the splintered vase of human happiness. In the heart's great struggle what we want is sympathy, not championsbip. We must be alone ; yet not alone as to lose the sense of love at hand. Use what talent you possess. The woods would bo very eilont if no birds sang there but those which sang beet. Life is short and we have never too mnoh time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us.

As- sociation held their second annual con- vention in the Methodist (Murch, this village, on Thursday, May 18th. Some sixteen or seventeen years ago Hugh Dyatt was engaged in the• manu• faotnrs of brick in Luoknow and like hundreds of others in Canada met with many reverses in business and left for the Western States hoavily in debt. His creditors were numerous and the amount necessary to satisfy their claims reached into the thousands. Though forced to leave the place under the most trying I oiroumetanees to an honest man, he Caviled with him the determination that I if fortune should ever favor him he would return to Luoknow and pay every dollar he owed. For many years past he has been in Leadville, Colorado, engaged in alining and haviug.met with saecess re- turned here a few days ago to carry out his pledge and wipe off his indebtedness. Since his return he lues paid off hundreds of dollars that were many years ago out- lawed and which the dwuers of had long since given up as leet. Exeter, A row of evergreens planted around the church grounds adds much to the ap- pearance of the rectory.

Behar, who was a pupil attending school on the Pare Line, Stanley, accused Richard Emilie, his teacher, of the above offence. The mat- ter bad been tried before other justices and dismissed and the school honorably acquitted. At the trial bars the defend- ant pleaded that he had already been acquitted by three magistrates and ob. jeoted to being tried again before a magistrate. This plea, however, bas no weight with his worship Snell, who essayed to try it a second time. After evidence being taken for four hours, the parties themselves oonoluded to ter- minate the farce, shook bands and went hone.
