Jnteresting Reports from Government

One of the mcst lnterestipg portions
of the annual report of the C+omniis-
stoner of Crown, Lands of Ontario is
that ,t•eferriltg to the quality of the
soil north of the height of land, says
.the Globe. It is through this country
;that the Canadian Nationel RuilweYt
part of the Grand; Trunk Pacific, 13
projected to run east and west, 'nod
the Temiskaming Railway will build
un extension north to connect with it,
During the past summer, a »umber of
surveyors averts sent out by, the On-

the department. 'The district sur-
veyed was that on the border lines of
the Districts of. -Algoma, and Nipis-
sing, and drained by the streams that
ultimately run into the great Abitibi
and blocs, Rivers and thence to Janus
Bey.
Mr. T. B. Speight began at the 120th

;boundary line between Nipissing .and
,Asoma, went north twelve miles and

allowance for the unfavorable circum -
stigmas arising from the unusual se:t-

bright future in store for the great-
er part of the region described, both
as rigai•ds timber and agriculture.”
M.r. \V. Galbraith begun at the 114th
guile past, on 'Lite boundary , between
Algoma and Nipissing, and went cast
and sou: h. 13e reported: "West of
Night Hawk Lake 'the base line runs
,thtott$it a fairly level country, with a
fear ridges of Huronian rock. There
arc some large areas of low land that
•arc quite wet, nut when opened up and
drained there would be a considerable

T. J. Patten began at the 138th mile Idle
host on the same boundary and went
east 30 miles, and ran eoctet from two 1
points twelve miles each. His gave a
'minute description of the country, and
Added : "The whole tract, particularly
elopg the streams, offers, as .sant o,
xcilroads are built, a splendid opening
to the settler. Nearly all the roil is
arable. 'The low-lying portions appear !
to be local in dxtent, and could, be
idrained at a reasona,bfe cost.'•
James Robertson, who surveyed the

and bordering 'op Lake Abitibi, re-
ports: "The soil along the, first ease I

Altred J. Cameron, wno st odivtded
the townships of Walker and Clerguc
a t the, junction of Black cud; Abitibi
Rivers, reported: "The .to,mship of
Walker consists chiefly of rolling clay
loam, broken near they river key deep

by un abnutlanee of wring creeks. I
would consider it good arable land.

Messrs . "Cavana and Watson began
al. the 120th utile past and went west,
surNeying the township of 'Tisdale, in
the district o, Algoma. They say:
"On the ,whole, the above township
is not one that could, occupy the
first place as regards agricultur•lI l:os-
sibilities, but would be valuable rath-
er for pulp timber and, possible min-
eral prospects, the latter of which
could .only be ascertained by careful
prospecting. The northeasterly por-
tion, however, would. Aurnish sumo
fair •ugrioultural land."
As to the adjoining township of
Whitney, .also tat Ale emu, -Messrs.
Cortina and Watson reported: "We
should consider at least eighty per
Bent. of the. township to have, good
agricultural praspeets."
John 11, Shaw, who surveyed
the township of Currie, in Nipissing,
reported : "I do not think the climatic
conditions arty serious detriment to
the early settlement of this portion
of th.:. provinec."
A. D. -Griffin reported, that .little
morn than half of the township of
Evelyn, district of Nipissing, was
suitable for cultivation.
Jamas S. noble reported that the
township of Milligan, district of Nip-
issing, was poor for agricultural pur-
poses. •
There are also reports on the town-
ships of James, Barber and Auld, all
Nipiseing. Speaking generally, all
this distriot is well watered, with
plenty of game, tut little reference is
made to minerals.
With regards to the operations of
the pulp and paper companies, whioh
have obtained concessions, the re-
port says • that the Sault Ste Marie

considerable
quantities of pulp wood
last winter, and that the Receiver has

Out Door Garments, Thin Fabrics
Out Door Dresses, Millinery.
A frequent choice among young peo-
ple will be a short jacket in, tan or
block tight fitting in back and the
same or half tight in front. tStrapped
seams are the conventional finish for
tan garment and fancy braid for the
block. eill ages will wear loose black
silk or sorrctimes cloth garments
revolting usually to the hips and at-
tached to a yoke cr shoulder cullet,
both either compased of trimming or
showing quite. eta bonne g•trniture.
1'hesa garments, however, utast not
be mistaken for the Monte Carlo
coats that have been so popular for
the lust two seasons.
The immonsu variety in thin fabrics
is sufficient to astonish even a person
accustomed to New York variety.
High on the list come, organdies in
exquisite floral patterns, ranging
faom delightfully hued roses of very
lingo size, to dear little buds. Other
organdies show satin or lace stripes
in equaxcs or columns and twined
about them or spreading in lovely ex-
panses between, axe ;delicate flower
laden vines. Bareges in old fashion-
ed weave, come in .wool or silk and
wool and vie with etamines and voiles,
both in 'many grades and 'colors, so
much so that they almost form'differ-
ent fabries, one from, the other vari-
ety. Persian novelties in two shades
of the came colors, e•olians showing a
fine cord and crepe de i.',aris, arc
among other lovely offerings.
There never was a. time indeed when
"ransparent and seini-transparent ma-
terials were `so fashionable, and this
fact must account for the great use
made of slip skirts that show, through
the good,s above so prettily. Drop
skirts are also very much In evidence
and for both. fres de sole iso now con-
ceded to be the, best material, since
while wonderfully resembling silk, it

Petticoats of the lama material are
very desirable, since it 'has the silken
lustre, while less expansive and much
stronger Than silk. An admirable
completion to the petticoat is the lily

The supply of materials for outdoor

leaves nothing to be desired in addi-
tion. Cotton materials without be-

INSTRUMENT IN GOOD /VON,

It is advisable, on account of The
sensibility of wood to . atmospheric

this way. The practice of keeping a
piano in a ,xoom which is not in gene

occasionally lighted, cannot - be. too
strongly,condemped, -
A piano should kis kept dry ;ad

It ,s a mistake, to place a cottage

s.de wall, er one eutv,xig a chimney
.,us running through it ; neither
stimuli it be. placun too near .Lite fire-
side, where it is liable to cncouate.r
direct and strong heat. To prcveat
tau jets of the instrument from be-
coming, yellow they should be wiped
with a piece of ,soft wash -leather
after being used. it is as well also
te keep thein covered with a piece
of white flannel reaching from ono
end of Um keyboard to the other.
Extreme, ,degrees of heat and cold
are very hurtful to the cabinet work
and polish of a piano,
it is of the greatest importance
that the pian& be kept well in tune.
It is there1fore .well to have it tuned
everythree months when in daily
use; if used only occasionally every
four mouths; will be sufficient. To
leave the instrument ,for long periods
without attention is false eoopomy.
Whether in use or not, a, piano, if
it is to retain its proper value, and
not deteriorate in ,vertu, must be
looked atter regularly by .a tuner of
experience.
• The sticking down of the keys and
the squeaking of the action and
ltedaL't are usually caused by damp,
and aro a sure sign that harm, is
being done to the mechanism, but on
no account must either of these
parts •be 'loibtd. It is better not to
use the piano until the action has been
put in order, for more damage is done
to an instrument in such a state. by
a week's practice than by six months'
hard wear and tear when it is work-
ing properly. The squeaking is gen-
erally due to friction, caused by the
burnished portions of the action hav-
ing lost their gloss rend smoothness.
Ornaments -should not 'be placed on
tire piano, as they often cerise jar-
ring sounds, besides which they I
scratch the polish.
FRETFUL CHILDREN.
If children are cross, or fretful. or
sleepless, in ninety-uiue cases out of a
hundred the reason can be traced to some
little trouble of the stomach or bowels.
Remove the cause and the little me will
be bright, good-natured, and will sleep
soundly and naturally. There is just
oue always absolutely safe tnodieiue for
little ones—Baby's Own Tablets. In
homes where this medicine is used there
, are no sickly, cross, crying children.
The Tablets will' cure all the minor ills
of little ones, and will do it safely and
speedily—there is no doubt about this.
Give the Tablets a single trial and you
will be as enthusiastic about them as
other mothers are. As for instance,
Mrs. David Duffield, Ponsonby, Ont.,
says: "Baby'a Own Tablets saved my

icine for children and I gladly recom-
mend them to other mothers."

boy and I began giving it to my baby at
once and it soon cured her. I heartily
thank the manufacturers of Chamber-
lain's Cough Remedy for placing so
great a cure within my reach. I caunot
recommend it too highly or say too much
in its favor. I hcpe all who read this
will try and be convinced as I was." For

A few days since Mr. W. J. Gage, of
Toronto, Chairman of the Executive
Committee of the National Sanitarium
Association, received a letter from a
resident of Quebec, pleading for the ad-
mission of a victim of the dread white
plague, living about a hundred miles
south -oast of Montreal, and asking if it
were not possible to admit her into the
Free Hospital. The writer says: " The
applicant is r. Mrs. Wm. Paterson, tho
mother of four children and the wife of a
farmer in a place called Goshen, in the
township of Windsor. The doctor says
that her left lung only is troubled. sloe
is ab)e to go about, but her appetite is
very bad, 1 believe if she could bo ad-
mitted into the Free Hospital for Con-
sumptive's she might bo cured. she could
not pay mueh, if anytbinp. Kindly let
Iris Itnow if you could receive her.

tions for admission to the Free Hospital
