THE ANTIQUE SHOP
• By Molly Bevan
I know a. quaint old roan who keeps
a quainter antique shop
Where, thongh_'tis seldom I can buy,
I very •often ; stop
To weave a hundred fancies round
dear abandoned things,
For in every niche and cranny Ro-
mance's glamour clings.
There's such a poignant wistfulness
about these muddled wares',
Old tables, beds and spinning -wheels,
chipped china, rocking chairs; i
This dull. brass -fender's seen the light
of ruddy fires aglow
Round which these hungry chairs
were drawn :on evenings long
ago;
What dreaming 'heads have piilowed.
lain in this four-poster bed,
And at this pidgeon-hole-y desk what
fetters writ and read?
And in this Mirror,withs
o, dim. dust
some. laughing beauty preened
Ere peeping at ' her swain below
through, lattice. ivy -screened;
Right m rrhly this table rn n
c
have
toast 'and jest been flung,
And to thii rare .".old spinet's tune
were tender lyrics' sung.
Dear .household gods of ether years,
strange, sentient and aloof,
I3lurred patterns in the weaving
Time' relentless warp and woof
May someone tvho can understand
the richness of your past
Find haven for your loneliness and.
treasure you at last!

Ancient Fire Engine
The oldest known fire "engine" in
England has found a home at the
London Museum. It is a large oval.:
wooden tub, and water was pumped
through aniron pipe in the middle.
It rested originally on a carriage with
solid wooden wheels, but these have
disappeared. The "engine" was made
in London in 1678 for a town li!
Bedfordshire.

People Who Live 10 Remote ward
Quiet Pierces Get to Feel the Pecul-
iar Effect and Power of the Silence
That Surround Them.
There are parts of Canada that are
very still. ' A profound silence broods
over them, and almost the only sound
onehears when he goes into them is
that of his own movements,° "Busy,
bustling Canada" does not apply to
places like these, writes Aubrey Ful-
lerton in Forest and Outdoors.
Almost anywhere, to . be sure, one
will find something of this great sil-
,ence in .the woods, for in forest aisles
and deep • •recesses among the trees
the noises of town life seem very far
away; but even in the woods, as com-
monly known, nature has its own
music and makes its own noises.
Some places there are, however, in
which there . is not so much as a bit
of bird music, for the birds are few
and seemingly voiceless. Over many'
miles the noisiest thing one hears is
the wind in the tree -tops in summer,
or the snapping of twigs with the
frost in winter, or perhaps the cry of
some animal in trouble,
Among ` such places are vast
stretches of northern wilderness in
the Mackenzie and Yukon territories.
The hinterland of all the western pro-
vinces, and of northern: Ontario and
Quebec as well, have great areas of
wilderness country, but in the fax
northwest the pervading silence is ac-
centuated.by the sense of remoteness,
It is all deadly still and a long way
off:
People who live in these remote
and quiet places naturally get to feel
the peculiar effect and power of .the
silence that everywhere surrounds
them. They break that silence by
their own necessary commotions, but
all the noise they can possibly make
is in about the proportion of a drop
of 'water to an ocean. The brooding
stillness over the whole vast region.
completely swallows up such trifling
disturbances as a few humans' can
create. For in, either the Mackenzie
or the Yukon, or in the top parts of
provinces like Alberta and Saskatene-
wan, the only population, except the
scattered wilderness Indians, is at a
sew posts or camps along tire water-
ways, which are therefore much the
same as oases in the desert.
When people come from the silent
places into the noise and confusion
of town life, they have many and
!strange sensations, as might be ex-
pected.. A man,-svho had lived all his.
t'thirty-eiVat years in the Lake Atha-
'baska country, and had never seen a
railway' train or an electric light,
came down to Edmonton and saw and
heard more wonderful things than he
had ever imagined. The eievat'irs t=_
the odlca bund 11 rs were the tenet
marvi .lous of he thought, but
nothing was uninteresting to this vis-
itor 'from the wilderness. ' •
An Indian youth in northern Brit-
ish Columbia was similarly introduc-
ed, for the first time, to the city and
was impressed particularly with the
telephones, street cars, and roller
skates! • •
Some of the wonders of the out -
,,side world have been taken into the
silent places, and when first seen
there they have awakened as much
amazement as the strange sights that
northerners have seen when they'have
come to the city. It is now many
years since steamboats began to' run
,on the Mackenzie river and other ry top
count waters, and while the shriek
r
iek
of their whistles startles the wilder-
ness quiet and seems strangely out of,
place in it they are no longer anov
elty. But it,
airplane and
p ane is s till new
is even yet seen but rarely. When is
1first went into the north, a few years
'ago some of the Indians hid them-
selves from the awesome sight.
With all the quiet and loneliness of
(these far places, .there still is some-
lthing in them that takes hold of the
people who visit them and especially
of those who live in them for some
!,length of time. Vast and empty as
• the wilderness is, men grow to love it,
;and when they have left it and, gone.
oto easier and softer places, it nos' o1
ten drawn them back. In ' some
strange way that no one has yet fully
+explained, the northern solitudes
'have a gripping power that most peo-
`ple feel and that, some cannot resist.
Eskimos who at various times have
been brought down from their Arctic
haunts to white men's cities have al-
ways been eager to get back to their
own place and people. That is per-
haps not to be wondered at, for to the
Eskimos the Arctic is home. But
others too will tell how attractive the
"far -north is. The daughter 01 a min-
ing engineer in the Hudson Bay
country, who came out to enter
school, stoutly denied that lite in the
north, even in the supposedly terrible
winters, is dreary. "Winter with us
a '"' the up there,"she declared, ,s love-
liest
to v
liest time of the year."
• Visitors of Greenland have pro
noilnced it a naked and lonely land,
full of great silences, but they have
also borne testimony to its strange
attractiveness and to the power it
exercises over the mind: in summei
under, the bright torch of the sun; in
the winter under the lashings of the
northern winds. But it is in the dart
and 'cold nights of winter that we do

SAW NEW ONTARIO
ON MOTOR TRIP
Capt. W;`'t Adalits kidqsbn,`Alten,'
retuetied a few days ago from a two-
weei, Motor trip to '£aanaganti, North
Bay, Ottawa, Prescott, Cobottrg, Pet
erboro, Orillia and Barrie. The trip
was notable in many ways, scenery,
good roads, courteous treatment, no
punctures in 1360 mile trip, and a
knowledge gained of our own prov-
ince, Mr, Adams removed the back`
and cushions from therear seat of
his nioto'r car, and made a . sort of
hinged platfor'tn that fastened to the
roof of the car, and which when low-
ered and the front seats tilted for-
ward, gave them over six foot space,
and on this they slept at nights. Be-
low this space they found ample room
for camp equipinlint,` etc. A. small
tent provided shelter for their lug-
gage at night, a Coleman latntern
made things bright, and i gasoline
camp stove provided a necessary ar-
ticle for the Capt. and his assistant
to demonstrate their domestic abilit-
ies on. That he is no mean cook
may be surmised from the fact that
they never ate in a hotel or restaur-
ant during the trip. Leaving Wing --
ham they struck across to Orillia and
went north to North Bay, where They.
followed the Ferguson Highway to
Tamagaini. The highway is a re-
markably well -constructed gravel road
of 24 -feet surface, which runs up hill
and down dell, makes abrupt ,turns
around high rocky walls, and dodges
immense boulders. But the scenery
fully compensates for all this. For
practically all the way majestic pines
a couple of feet at the butt, and tow-
ering 100 feet or more in the air. En-
tering the National Part: you receive
a permit from a provincial officer,
who draws attention to, necessary pre-
cautions regarding camp fires, rules
of the road, etc., and asking you to
take advantage of the government
camp grounds located every few ntil
es. These have a cleared space for
parking cars, dry wood for use of
campers, water, lavatory accommo-
dation, and are liberally patronized by
hundreds of tourists, many of whom'
arc from the States, and apparently
of a more than well-to-do class, It
is" a service much needed and apprec-
iated. Returning to North Bay the
tourists struck east towards Mattawa
and Ottawa, finding tate road to Mat-
ra e a bit primitive but this stretch
'is booked for improvement next year.
Capt. Adams states the view across
the Ottawa River at Mattawa, look-
ing upthe green -covered Laurnetian
hills, with its varying outline and
changing hues, is one of • the most
beautiful on the whole trip. At Ot-
tawa, they did Parliament Hill and
other places of interest and kept on
towards Prescott and Gananoque. At
this point our friends saw what the
tourist traffic is worth to Ontario.
Here the municipal camp ground has
real attention from the town author-
ities, who see to many requisites for
their transient guests. They were
there on ,a Sunday, and during the
day the Mayor tante down to visit
his erstwhile citiznes,•satv they be-
came acquainted one with the other,
andh h t
t a the attendants gave that ser-
vice expected. Over 60 cars were in
the camp that day and a majority
were from the States, some away be-
yond the Mississippi, They were de-
lighted at the .'courteous andliberal
service provided at this point in par-
ticular, and their reports back home
must be to theadvantage of Ontario
next summer. Mr: Adams then carne
along to Cobourg, up to l3obcaygeoti,
Lindsay and Teterboro and over to
Barrie, when they came across coun-
try to Wingham.
