Simmesetaietars ATM) to the Rocky Mountains Park. (Written for The ; Expositor.) There are, perhaps, but few (people in Canada who have not (heard of the far -Pained " Yellowstone Park, the United States National Park,and yep: many Canadian people are am - aware that in their own (country they have the largest and most 'beau- tiful National Park in the world. The reason for this is that the Yel- lowstone Park has been widely ad- veetieed fop Many years by competent. An'ieriean Railway Companies, whose roads lead to it, .to tpromote traffic over their lines, and increase. ,err earnings ; while, on. the other Shand, The Rocky Mountain Park,. as it is popularly called, being accessible by only one railroad,, has never receiv- ed much advertising notice. How- ever, the superior scenic attracttve- sness of our national playground to being more widely circulated and (ad- vertised through different mediums _. every nay, -and the time will be short when " The Rocky: Mountains Park" will .i ecom a household word in Canada, the 'United States, Grte.at Britain, and in every foreign stand. The Canadian National Park . is en immense reservation in the Rocky Mountains, stretching east and west from the back -bone of the con- tinent eastward into the province of Alberta, near ' Mooley, and westward into the province of British Columbia, -near Palliser. It embraces parts of the valleys of the Spray, Boa, and Cascade rivers, several noble moun- tain ranges, the Yoko valley, beyond the "Divide" and considerable coun- try to the west,and south- of it ; and is traversed 'by the (maize line of she Canadian Pacific Railway, which aTfords an -easy means of 'access thereto. The Rocky Mountain Park is by far the largest in, the world, cov- ering an area of 5,732 square miles or 3,668,480 acres, the next tin size being the American Yellowstone, which covers but 'a trifle more than half the area of the Canadian Park. It is justly celebrated for its. nat- ural scenery, which 'In variety and magnificence and wonderful phen- omena is unsurpassed, and also for ita famous mineral springs. It is: rapidly becoming. the objectiv-e point of mountaineers, naturalists, scient- ists, artists, sportsmen, and health and pleasure seekers from every land.. Switzerland was once the mecca for this class Of 'people, but nil 'now takes a second. places when compared with Canada's mountain attractions: That country's- scenery has all been thor- oughly explored, while there is but very little known of Canada's 'great park ; and there es, therefore, 'a strong incentive forthese tourists to vis- it. Every day mew points ofbeauty and striking national 'phenomena are eing discovered, and still there must e numerous valleys, lakes, etc.; (yet unrevealed in this vast area. There are several 'stations along the C.P.R. within the park but the most palmier : is 'Banff, which Is the head- quarters of the Bark. It ,,is( most fav- orably situated for the picturesque scenery and for health, being 'bleat- ed at the sulphur springs, and is a centre for canoeing, c: 'v?ng, walk- ing, and mountain climbing. There is a museum of more ::than. 'local inter-' est, an opera house, a sanitarium'' and hospital in the village, and sev- eral finely appointed hotels ; in tact persons of all means can tfind hotel accommodation to suit ;:hem. These are also Presbyterian, Methodist, An- glican and Peeman Catholic churches and a school in it. The eDominion Government appropriates a large sum annually for the maintenance and improvement of the park, there being close to 200 smiles of roads and bridle', paths already- constructed ; ;there are', strict laws in (force 'to preserve the ;numerous species of game. that_, roam about it. Apart from all- this, and consider- ed from the 'point' of natural seenery that of the 'Rocky Mountain Park is unrivalled. Soft, green valleys ; blue and emerald lakes, perfect gems of beauty, sometimes set In the very lap of the (mountains, and in other cases - reposing' at the feet of these grim, gigantic- sentinels, and -often expanding in the wooded valleys ; ' interminably winding mountain streams and rivers ; foaming cascades and roaring cataracts, spouting 'gey- sers, and glistening glaciers.; yawn- ing chasms and weird, gloomy 'moun- tain caves ; intricate mazes of canyons and mountain passes ; and far above all an endless -Succession of noble, majestic mountains. All (these fea- tures conspire to render Canada's ,National Park the (greatest and most wonderful beauty spot on earth. No where has the terribly powerful (yet artistically delicate hand of nature spread such a profusion of magni- ficient beauty. It .is a vast amphithe- atre of natural 'grandeur and a veri- table paradise for 'lovers of scenic beauty Upon arriving at Banff, the 'tour - let is impressed with stones wildly beautiful and romantic. The village is charmingly situated in the BOW Valley, surrounded ..by 'sylvan beau- ty, and overlooked in the north by the Sawback, Stofiey Squaw and the towering Cascade mountains, to the east it is dominated by (Tunnel moun- tain arid the .mighty Mount Rundle, while to the 'south and west the Bow river flows in a broad open strath, flanked by (the 'Bourgeau and Sul- phur ranges.

John Dryden, ex -Minister of Agriculture - for Ontario, now on the Commission appointed by the British Government to enquire into the agricultural conditions in Ire- land and who' has just returned 110m the beautiful green Isle, is con- tributing a series of letters to some of the agricultural papers of this province, descriptive of what be has seen there and his impressions gen- erally. From one 'of these we quote as follows: When the stranger lands for the first time at a railway* station or wharf in Ireland he is at once attract- ed by the peculiar style of vehicles awaiting orders from the passengers. Inctead of the four wheeled cab of Canada or the " Hansom," so common in England, he will find the tgreater number to be what- is called here in common. conversation " a car," the mere complete name being " a jaunt- ing car." They are made to carry two persons on each side, which with the driver makes five. They are more commonly- used fpr carryingone or two persons for a short journey. In that case the driver sits on one side arid the passenger on the apposite. When more are carried the driver sits in front. Evolution of the Jaunting Car. One wonders why in England, for such purposes, only a " hansom " would be found in use, while 'there they are seldom seen, but- instead in every part of the country ;the car is the common conveyance. The car appears 'to have been evolved out of a very common conveyance in the early days. It consisted in trailing shafts on which were fastened a, basket or wooden box, for carry- ing the load. Then followed low, wooden wheels' in which the square shaft or axle was "securely -fastened. The wheels did not turn on the axle but the whole axle revolved. In turning, one wheel could not move backward while the opposite moved forward, as on a modern car. This Objection was met by making the axle solid and allowing the .wheels to revolve. Next came the step ex- tending over the wheel which -allow- ed . a considerable load inside while the driver and others could sit com- fortably -with his feet hanging safely over the wheel. on either side: Then came a better wheel followed at a later date with springs until the preel sent handsome vehicle. with - high wheels tired with rubber and having easy springs, has been evolved. The Ubiquitous Donkey. In moving into many parts of the country one is amused to see much vast numbers of donkeys in use every-" Where. It will not do to despiso them, for it is easily seen that the farmer endeavoring to live on a small bit of land which may be of none too good quality, could not support a horse. These little donkeys are put to a variety of uses. 1 have eeeri them carrying on their back the load pf peat for the fire, an I havei seen them ' pulling a light scufflez1 through the potatoes or turnips, but if you are in many small towns on market day, where they are used, you would see scores hitched to the, little carts and carrying the different mem- bers of the family, or perhaps tsome, prbduce for sale. It is astonishing to the -stranger how fast the little things will take along their loads. Where the donkeys are the carriage horses of the family, you will dis- cover that the land is not of the bast quality, and the farms are probably much smaller on the average. But that they have a peper1 place in many parts of Ireland, 'inhere their usefulness is recognized, is proved by the fact that the Department of Agriculture has already- expended considerable sums in importing super- ior Spanish Jacks for their improve- ment. The motive in thin is to in- crease their size without destroying their speed, and thus (give addled; value in the operation of the 'farm, I . Good Soil and Climate. Let no one imagine because in some parts of Ireland these donkeys are found at every farm home- that agri- culture everywhere is -in a backward condition, or that a lack of intelli- gence is everywhere prevalent. The very opposite is the case. Much sof Ireland is good soil, producing splen- did grass, and where tillage is fol- lowed abundant crops. ilfrise climate is among the best in the world. In no. part of Ireland do they stiffer from extremes in weather. There is little or no frost, and sufficient 'heat . to mature most of their crops satisfae--! toril.y. There are no extensive .,than- , utactures in different places, as in England, hence the market for most PR. their igrtcuittiral produete IS out- side Of .their own -bon/niers": - € ne of the dravrbaoks in Ireland ds t'he prevalence of.., the Small holding.

Bringing up their families respectably, wrth a good education, drinking their ovine if they desire It, anti laying up a born - potence fdr old age. This canhot be done on land that is unproductive. The one drop grown everywhere is The Potato. In some places immense sums are rehlized per acre for this crop. These are generally for, the early varieties. I have heard of $1,000- being, taken from a four -acre field, and that a- mount paid for the crop in the ground. Most of the potatoes are grown fn drills, which are cultivat- ed as in Ontario, anis at the proper time, are hilled up with a double mold board plow.. But travelling through on the railway •you notice frequetrit patches grown in another form.. These . are well adapted to wet (bog- gy soils, but are ofthn wised on oth- er lands. Suppose the land is grass, they would not plow it but plant the po'patoes. on the surface, then at intervals of three or four feet Sheer dig a trench about 12 or 14 in .bee deep and cover the potato with s a.-tb from this trench. The potatoes b ing thus covered and growing up, co shelter the land- that the grass xis destroyed and the potatoes growing on- this decaying sod. No more is seen of the grass, nor is there ordinarily any weeds to worry the ownrrr. For this • reason they are called "lazy beds," because they do not need cultivation, Piles quickly 'and !positively cured with Dr. Shoop's Magic Ointment, It's made for piles alone—and it does 4is(e ework surely and ;with satisfac- tion.

Sherring, , of Hamilton, the world -famed winner of the Marathon race, the proud son of Canada, who side by side with the Crown Primed Constantine, who ran the finishing portion with him, carne first to the Stadium at Athens in tie ;great; races has -since his return told ;how Zam- Buk, the great herbal balm, (helped him bring the honor to 'Canada. Speaking to the Hamilton Herald re- presentative, he said: " While training for my great -Mar- athon race at Athens I used Zam- Buk, end it proved a great (boon to me.' I have used it both rase' an em- brocation and as a salve for chaff- ing sores, bruisers caused by stepping on to stones while running sin 'light .shoes, and other bruises and thave found it the best salve (and` ointment I have ever tried. Its (healing pow- ers are exceptional, and for 'general household use it should be a wonder- fully tine curative. I have pleasure In expressing my appreciation of its value." Sherring is undoubtedly right, for as a household balm Zam-Buk has no equal. Zam-Buk is to be regarded as much a skin food as a medicine. When skin disease, such as eczema, ulcers, abscesses, running sores, etc., occur, the skin needs increased vigor 1 to overcome the evil. Zam-Buk pro- vides it. When you sustain to cut, as ( burn or a bruise the 'surrounding tis- sue has to do extra work to overcome the damage. Zam-Buk helps it. Ever' since the dawn of creation vegetable essences and extracts have been the 1 proper sources of human medicine,and in Zam-Buk le found a blending of the finest herbal extracts it is tposseible', to obtain. 4 Sufferers from any of the above men- tioned skin d'_seases should give Zam- Buk a thorough trial. This 'unique balm is. also a cure tor chapped hand's, chilblains, sore nipples, eczema, erup- tions, itching, scaling sores, etc. 'ft eases the pain and the 'itching of piles, and stops the bleeding. For skin rashes, rigworm or scalp sores in chil- dren it is an effective 'remedy, and for all purposes' to which a household balm may be 'put is unequalled. -A11 -druggists sell it at 5Oc. a box, or post free from the Zam-Buk Company, Toronto, on receipt. of 'price, (Six boxes for $2.50).
