Sometimes a person would like to
Change' an expensive umbrella handle

powdered sulphur. Place. the handle
in a solid upright position andafter

A GREAT MUSEUM.
The McCord Horns Cgritains. x Wealth
of Canadian Rrllcal.
On the Cote des Neiges road, out of
Montreal, near where the .electrics
leave the highway :for the .Priests'
Farm, there stands a classic •Greek
tempie—•the most interesting house,
perhaps, in Canada. For three -score I
years and more it has been known as
Temple Grove. Behind its Rorie col-
onnade one may come into contact
with all the great churchmen, states.
men, warriors, nobles, explorers,
voyageurs, and martyrs, who, have
been identified with Canada for the
past 250 years.
The Temple is the residence of Mr.
David Ross McCord, a man - who has
worked and toiled for al lifetime on
behalf of Canada --•his native land.
Charmingly located is, that pretty
treasure 'house among the oaks, the
elms, the maples, the pines and the
fragrant lilacs of Mount Royal. Its
pretty Doric colonnade recalls the
days of ancient Greece --the clays
when arches had not been thought of.'
It is a veritable poem in brick and
stone and wood, and Its environment
of trea and flower and, shrub only
adds to its beauty and its ebarm.

1Vithoat it most Intimate knowledge of
history, his .own pencil and the brush
of the chief artist he employed in
Painting the oils would, have been
utterly unconscious of the strategic
value of the scenes they depicted.
It is still feared -in' Montreal 'that
this .splendid and intensely interesting
collection, as well as its collector and
owner, be coaxed away to another
great educational centre in Canada.
Attempts are indeed being made to
get it and him. Mr, McCord is chivali
rous enough .to sacrifice himself and
his f9mily associations in the Province
of Quebec (dating back to soon after
his ancestors landed with Wglfe in the
