Reminiscence of Muskoka,
(Bir F. Yc. KAUN) -
Muskoka.—The peuple of Toronto
know what the word implies, and so„
of course, do those living in the dis-
trict between Toronto and the Geor-
gian Bay, but to the vast majority of
the residents of Western Ontario the
term is an empty one, si nifying a
vague, mystical region, far- f�r•orn civilr-
zation—that is from the western pen-
insula—whither sportsmen resort with
rod and gun and tents to "tough it"
for a time, and imagine they are
mighty anglers and nimrods. Thete
is a back -ground of fact to this indis-
tinct and musty picture, but the real
Muskoka is porta aved as a land of
pure delight, the like of which is not
found elsewhere in Canada; an archi-
pelago of islands thrown into the
Witter of three little hakes, which thence
forward; of course, lost the semblance
of lakeF, and became shining reaches,
shimmering channels, bounding around
this rocky promontory, lapping.on that
sandy beacb, wonderirrg,whether they
are lake or river.
From crest to water's edge these
islands are shaggy with the verdure of
a northern clime, which hides from
casual view( he rocks that at close in-
*
n proves outcrop on every side.
.From nearly every island rises the
fiagstaffie, and peep gaily painted sum-
mer cottages, dedicated to the god of
idleness, where the cares of business
are forgotten in eating, sleeping, pad-
dling, rowing, sailing, fishing, swim-
ming, relaxation, bsalth and strength
are sought, to the end that when home
going time arrives there will be health-
ier bodies and clearer minds to take up
the daily tasks of the ensuing year.
And this is all within two hundred
miles of Clinton; leave Clinton at 7.45
in the morning, G.T.R„ and before
night falls you may be. at any point on
the Muskoka lakes. Viewed from the
standtpoint of inexperience Muskoka
%s a .,r-aaNt shot. t. As a matter of -
fact it is but a summer -day's journey,
with fast express, trains and modern
steamships, which makes the journey
n pleasure in itself, and with comfor-
table hotels and boarding houses offer-
ing a hearty welcome to the traveller
before the shades of night close in.
It is really a matter of surprise that
Muskoka is not better known to the
people of the west. It cannot be the
fault of the transportation companies,
but must be attributed, in part, to the
ienoranee of the beauty of the region
and accommodation offered in all parts
of Muskoka at hotels of varying preten-
sions and rates. It is not necessary to
own an island or even a house on an
island to thoroughly enjoy Muskoka,
as good accommodation can be had
from one dollar per day up, so one can
see Muskoka and sip of its beauties
without spoiling your best gown or
coat. As has been said, Toronto peo-
ple know it thoroughly, Not that they
frequent the hotels in numbers; but to
them belong the majority, of the cot-
tages, which are the only tokens of
civilization in the wilderness of water,
wood and rocks. The houses are plain-
ly furnished: comfort does not depend
on the richness of one's carpets or
chairs. The essentials are good food,
good air, good sleep, which can be ob-
tained in abundance. It is one of the
charming features of Muskoka the
Rood supply of food, and to keep in
touch with the outer world, if neces-
sary, withoutat the same time destroy-
ing the sense of isolation—of commun-
ion with nature "unimproved" by the
hand of man, which is so much to be
desired. A Sanctuary of Solitude—
that is what the busy toilers of cities
and towns should seek, where they
may cast aside the garments of care,
even as men in bygone days sought
the shadows of great cathedrals. There
is companionship for those who seek
it, and privacy for those who desire it.
The man who can stand on the High-
lands of Muskoka on a bright autumn
day, with wavelets dancing in the sun,
a clear invigorating breeze sweepingg
through his nostrils and surrountted
by trees bedecked in the most radiant
colors susceptible to man, the roan
who can say life is not worth living, is
false and in no wise entitled to come
into the estate, common to all man-
kind of sunshine u bine and beauty.
The houses you pass standing hi It
on the rocks at your back, overloolt-
ing the little bays which dip into the
mainland, and is chained down to it
by a circle of emerald isles, through
the links of which your steamer must
find its way. Its whistle cuts the
morning air with a shrill sound that
echoes he rocks , back from t r k bove the
c
gang -way is pulled in, o8 plows the
little vessel, heading for tbel channels
that seem to offer the most reasonable
chances of escape. We skirt this
island, but to find another barring the
way; around it, and yet another and
another until expectation dies, and re-
signedly leaving the matter to escape
to the captain, the eye fe9sts itself on
the ever -unfolding panorama. The
pearl gray mist that bung to hide the
islands as they bathed their feet is,
rising at the behest of dun and breeze
and clearer grows the atmosphere and
keener the vision. There is a slight
ripple on the water, as the wind blows
gently oyer it, and one side of every
ripple glints like gold. There, turning
that point, cutting through the waves,
its bow high in air. its stern . deep in
water, flashes a light canoe; its occu-
pant a stalwart young fellow from e

are people hurrying down the hill. The

Hood's Sareaparillq.
Merit iu medicine ;uteans the power to
care. Hood's Sarsaparilla possesses actual
and unequalled curative power and there-
fore it has true merit. When you buy
Hood's Sarsaparilla, and take it according
to directions, to purify your blood, or
cure any of the many blood diseases, you
are morally certain to receive benefit.
The power to cure is there. You are not i
trying an experiment. It will make your
blood pure, rich and nourishing, and thus
drive out the germs of disease, strengthen
the nerves and build up the whole system.

The best we,y to wash black stookings Is
Ilret to turn them wrong side out, so they
will not become streaked on the right side;
then wash them with good soap and with

them In blue water and hang to dry in a
place sheltered from the sun. Never wash
black stockings in water in which white

CATARRH IS A DISEASE
Which requires a constitutional remedy.
It cannot be cured by local. applications.
Hood's Sarsaparilla is wonderfully success-
ful in curing catarrh because it eradicates
from the blood the scrofulous taints which
cause it. Sufferers with catarrh find a
cure in Hood's Sarsaparilla, even after ot-
her remedies utterly fail.
HOOD'S PILLS are prompt, efficient al-
