'forget the mother, but which, on the
!slightest injury, betakes itself to the
maternal knee, there to receive the

'ted little heart? Yes, and the guests
at this hostelry are all sufferers;
stricken units of the great human
washed in by the buffets of
a cold and often cruel world, like
-wreckage on the seashore. Truly is
it called "Hotel Dieu." •
In the dim and distant past of some
250 years ago, when this country's
greatness was but in embryo, and
Iwhen enthusiasm over the, coloniza-
tion of what was then New France
was widespread in the Old Land, af-
fecting both King and peasant alike,
there was one, -a gentlewoman, still
in the •springtime of life, raised in
rthe very lap of luxury, the well -belov-
ed and idol of her family, -who was
:affected by the general sentiment. The
mind of Jeanne Mance-for of her we
speak -was filled with jubilation, and
.her heart throbbed at the thought of
all the good to be done in the new
.land. Many the roseate dreams had
she, but the realization was rendered
,possible only by the death of both
her parents. Opposition arose,
'friends, relatives put forth the dis-
suading hand, her family rebelled, the
idea of a young girl crossing to what
was then a virgin. wilderness, a
stronghold of barbarism, was unheard
of -but her quiet, God-given determi-
nation overcame all obstacles. Thus
'she aroused curiosity. Ladies of the
highest society -even the Queen her-
self -sought the society of this .roman-
-tic girl, and finillly Maclaine de Bul-
lion, a widow of wealth, 'say in her
the means of accomplishing a life-
3ong desire of her heart -the estab-
ilishment of an hospital in the new
Where at present stands this mighty
gateway of Empire -this metropolis
of a vast Domain, there once alighted
a frail, gentle girl. Hers were the
hite omen's feet to press the
rst w w,
-virgin sward. Alone she stood in the
-darkness-vainly she sought for some
-welcome sound, but naught broke up-
on the ear but the weird Indian war -
'cry, or mayhap the echo of an Indian
-drum beating wildly .and mournfully
on the mountain -side. Her womanly
-heart beat in trepidation, but her
•heaven -given resolve bade silent its
ilutterings.
An angel of mercy had she come,
nor was there a dearth of field for her.
endeavors. Strife was rampant; blows
were given and returned; blood flow-
ed and danger stalked about on all
ksides. Never did she fail; with the
wide-open arms of Christian Charity,
she recognized her brother in both
Red man and Colonist. Alone in the
improvised hospital -a mere hut ---we
see her in the dreary stillness of the
midnight hour, keeping alight the dy-
ing embers, making a soothing
-draught for parched lips, or with a
-tenderness more than motherly, cool-
ing the fevered 'brow of some
French boy or bathing the wounds of
.some untutored savage whose eyes in
return but darted hatred and Whose
lips muttered. in accents of rage as
she bent over his couch. •
For some fifteen years did she thus
expend herself in the service of hu-
manity. With•no other assistant than
a pious woman to second her efforts,
she carried on the great work, fulfill-
ing in person all the offites connected
with the hospital. It is related, that
oftentimes she would be seen in the
grey dawn of an autumn morning.
with her gentlewoman's hands, at the
ice -bound pools, washing garments re-
pulsively reeking with filth and con-
tagion. •
Probably on one of these errands of
mercy was it that she met with an
accident, the result of a fall on the
ice, which deprived her of the use
of her arm. Through a lengthy periad
of excruciating agony did she pass,
only to be assured that consultatiod
(of some renceened Old World physi-
cian would be the sole hope of relief.
Broken-hearted at seeing her •work
thus brought to an apparently. tragic
end, she braved the vicissitudes of
an ocean voyage. There was no hope;
she was maimed for life. Repressing
the first movements of despair surg-
ing upon her deeply• Christian heart,
and buckling on her pristine heroic
courage, she again turned her face
to the New World, this time accom-
panied by three sisters, who had vol-
unteered to hike tip the work. With
hearty acclaim was she received, and
the wild woods rang with the sounds
of rejoicing, the faces of man and wo-
man beamed joyous welcome when the
news passed wand that the "Angel of
the Settlement," the hallowed Made-
moiselle Jeanne Mance, had again
taken up her station in their midst.
. i That is some two huhdred and fifty
years ago -and the same • gentle,
whole-souled angel of mercy is still
doing her work. Whatmatter it, if
her institution has change from a
mere hut -through the various stages
-till it is now the largest of its kind
on the Continent of America? What
matter, if, in the ceaseless roll of
years, the personnel has ben trans-
formed from one solitary self-sacrific-
ing attendant to hundreds not one*
whit less self-sacrifieingP What mat-
ter it if, instead of the lurking form
of a crouching savage, the signs of
si highly -cultured civilization are seen
from the windows? Jeanne Mance is
as surely at the head of her well -
beloved institution to -day as she wae
then. -Montreal S,andard.
AN -INDIAN SHIPYARD.
No Noise of. Hammer Where Birch -
bark Canoes Are Built.
In the fax Canadian, wilds, in an
Indian shipyard, are built and
launched such craft as the voyagers
use in traveling the rivers and lakes
of that region even as fax as Hudson
Bay, NOISO of hammer and his of
white-hot bolt have never been heard
in that shipyard, and it has neither
dry dock nor high slanted and greasy
ways. Hidden in the deep grass are
long and wide rolls of birch bark
treasured against future need, and
all about are shavings of the cedar,
while the charred ref:fluent* of the
fires used to melt and purify some of
the shipbuilding material perhaps
shine black in a little pile.
Here perhaps for many seasons in
succession the Indians have built
their birch -bark canoes. Bits of the
long and pliant but touch root which
the Indiana pull from its shallow
burial to make binding thongs are to
be found here and there. This root
when split has about the thickness of
the cane used in weaving chair bot-
toms and the deft needlewomen of
the Indians make it serve to a nicety
for sewing the seams of the birch
bark with which the canoes are cov-
ered. From strips of cedar two
inches wide and hardly more than a
quarter of an inch thick are made
the ribs. Over this -frame is laid
with nice fit the birch bark in pieces
of suitable size and the joints are
secured with long strips of the pliant
root.
All this, however, is not sufficient
to make a canoe seaworthy; the
seams must be made water -tight.
This is accomplished with a inixture
of spruce gum and bear's grease,
though had will serve nearly as well
as the latter. The spruce gum is
melted in a pot over an open fire
and cleansed of its impurities by
skimming. Then a sufficient quan-
tity of bear's grease is added to make
the mixture at a moderate tempera-
ture of about the consistency of shoe-
maker's wax.
The whole craft remains measur-
ably pliant yet sufficiently rigid to
be handled and 'carried without dan-
ger of collapse. One thing, however,
the Indian looks to, that his canoe
shall not grate upon sand or shingle
when he lands. In fact, he stops
short of the shore and in shallow
water leaps out into lake or stream
and unloads his canoe before carrying
it ashore and laying it in a shady
place safe from the damaging effects
of the mid -summer's sun. Small
canoes are built in this fashion for
the use of one or two oarsmen, and
with proper strengthening of mater-
ials, big canoes 35 feet long or more
are built to be paddled by 10 or 15
oarsmen and to carry great loads all
about the region upon the errands of
business that keep these hunters and
trappers afloat much of the time so
long as there is open water in that
far north. ,
A Handsome Gift.
lt has Come to light that the late
Mrs, Goldwin Smith's will contains
a provision for a free gift of the
Grange and the fine historic residence
upon it to the city of Toronto. The
mansion will be devoted to, the uses
of an art museum, and theftsplendid
collection Of pictures and art treas-
ures it ecintaini• will fall into the
city's possession. • •
Dr, Smith said the idea of "The
Grange" becoming an art museum
Was suggested to him by Byron E.
Walker, of the guild of civic art, and
conveyed. through him to his wife
who readily assented. •
The grounds with their . beautiful
lawns and spreading elms are an
ideal of 'stately beauty, and have .in-
variably excited the admiration of
distinguished visitors Of whom there
have been many. • _
The main .portion of the building
was erected in 1820, by D'Arcy BOW-.
tot, eldeSt son of. Justice Boulton.
Later a wing and conservatory were
added. "The Grange" is said by com-
petent authority to be the finest
specimen of . the early era of brick
building in York County. Originally,
the gate was at Queen :street, and the
inansion stood in the centre of a park
of 100 acres. • finished

CANADA'S EXPLORER,
O. El Tyrrell Ha* Contributed to
Information on Nerth‘i
Whon it comes to proving or dis-
proving the statements of Dr. F. A.
ewe, wet Couilettneer ltubert Peary,
on the North Role issue, the veracity
of the .Eskinto will come strongly in-
to play.
Such is the opinion et S. B. Tyrrell
of Toronto, mining engineer and ex-
plorer, who has epent several years
investigating the mineral possibilities
of the Arctic country. To him and
his brother, James H. Tyrrell, of
Hamilton, is due the credit of pre-
senting in book form more light on
the frozen north than possibly be -
lenge to any other two Individuals
outside of Cook and Peary, should
the latter's stories be verified.
Mr. Tyrrell was asked, some years
ago, to take charge of an Arctic ex,.
pedition, but the project didn't ap-
peal to hint. Still, he can see no
Immediate reason why both Dr.
Cook's and Commander Peary's stor-
ies should not be believed. Both men
appeared to have found good ice for
travel and the distances they claim
to have traversed were not at all pro-
hibitive. `He could not see, however,
why any country should care to eith.
er prove or disprove the statements of
either explorer. The scientific results
of a rush to the pole never seemed
to him to warrant the expense or
trouble. Such an expedition as Nan-
sen's, where the time was spent in
making scientific observations of the
character of the sea, the land and the
inhabitants -fish and animals -within
the polar zone, always seemed to him
exceedingly interesting, but the mere
dash to the pole -to be the first to
reach a theptetie point on the earth's
surface looked to him as though the
game was not worth the candle. At
the same time, as au example of
hardihood and adventurous spirit, he
couldn't help but admire the men
who had done it.
Mr. Tyrrell has made three notable
tours of the extreme northern lati-
tudes. On two occasions he .was ac-
companied by his brother James.
Three most entertaining books from
the lattees pen relative to these ex-
peditions are now in circulation. On
a Government mission, sixteen years.
ago, they traveled from Edmonton to
the Athabaska country, then north
eastward to the extreme northeast an-
gle of Hudson Bay and down the
shores of the Hudson, late in the fall
in three Peterboro canoes, reaching
Churchill October 16. They were the
first white men to traverse that coun-
try, between the Mackenzie River and
Hudson Bay, and to come down the
shores in sueli'' craft. At Churchill
they were obliged to wait for a few
weeks to gain strength and to Coned
dogs and sleds preparatory to an over-
land journey to Winnipeg. About the
end of November -and of course
win-
ter had set in w4th the thermometer
registering. about 45 below -they left
Churchill and started southward,
passing York factory near the mouth
of the Nelson, cominse up to Oxford
House and reaching Winnipeg on the
second of January. The trip overland
was subject to. sthe ordinary condi-
tions attending ' such expeditions
through northern Canada. They tra-
ieled without tents and everything
that could possibly be dispensed with,
sleeping in their overcoats.' At. that
time, it was the largest unexplored
• area of land in the world. A tech-
nical accciunt of their. observations
was written by J. B. Tyrrell for the
Dominion Geological Survey. In
1894 he traveled alone through the
Eskimo country west of Hudson Bay
on an •official geological survey. , .
"Canada has no object, anyway, rio
matter, hoW other countries may per-
apire over it, in trying to prove the
exact location of discoverer of the
north pole, She already has an enor-
mous •Arctic territory undeveloped,
and the question is not for the pres-
ent generation to bother with. The
establishing of a. claim to the earth's
ape x does not come within the scope
of practical polities at the present
time," were the concluding words of
Mr. Tyrrell 's iaterview. •

Ontario have been fairly well illus-

the local papers this summer. In

New York, Oct. 9. -Men expert in
the manufacture of news print paper
threw further illuminating informa-
tion yesterday upon the experiment
into which Lord Northcliffe, a leading
publisher of British periodicals, has
entered in establishing his $6,000,000
wood pulp and paper-makng plant in
the wilds of Newfoundland. It was
further asserted by paper producers
who were in Washington when the
problem as to the tariff on pulp and
paper was threshed out that the Eng-
lish publisher, through influences in-
spired by himself or his associates,
was among those who endeavored to
force the nation's lawmakers to knock
off all duty on those commodities.

Another Racing Yarn; .
Down at the Woodbine in Toronto
they tell another story illustrating the
folly .of the man who becomes infat-
uated with his own horse. A year or
so ago a real good fellow brought a
steeplechaser to the °Atari° Jockey
Club meet with the expectation that
he was going to sweep all.before him.
One day he 'told his Wendt: "Play
his strong to morrow he's in the
right company to win, and the, odds
will be long." The odds were long •
and the ,friends bet heavily, but the
beast ran last. The spring 'meet end-
ed and the .horse went away to the
American tracks. One day the To-
ronto friends of the owner received a
telegram advising them to put a het
on him next day at Latonia as it was
a "cinch" and the odds would be
long. A number of thene made the
play just becansa they felt that the
animal, owed them money. Again he
was pretty close to lest. •
Tlae autumn meet, transpired and
the ownet came to town with his
dearly beloved beast. Once more he
was full of excuses and enthusiasm
for the animal. He was sure he
'would win a certain* race and before
the start he told the jockey to put
the spur e to the brute' and to whip
him all the 'way round because he
had to win to save his face with his
Toronto friends, He promised the
jockey an extra fee of ten dollars whe-
ther the horse won or lest and a
hundred dollars if he won. The joc-
key obeyed instructions with the same
result as usual. That night, true to
his promise, the owner handed the
rider his additional ten.
"0 -say," responded the. latter, 'I
don't like to take your money: why
the horse ainit worth ten dollars."

used various preparations, yet nothing had
permanently cured it. He began applying
Zan's- Buk balm, and was very soon agreeably
-
surprised to notice a great improvement.
" It was only a matter of a short time be-
fore Zaus-fluk had thoroughly cleansed the
sore of all foul matter and healing commenced.
It is now some Months since the sore Was
completely closed, and there is no likelihood
of it breaking out again.
"Since then my baby, eighteen months old,
has been cured of eczema on the scalp by
Zsun-Buk. This eczema tame in red pimples,
and if rubbed' or scratched, formed into sores.
The child was very fretful from the irritation
of the scalp, but whenever Zani-Buk was
applied it seemed to bring the greatest relief.
Frequent applications were effective in clear -
Mg all traces of the disease from the Imby'l
scalp in a short spice of time. I feel it my

fully recommend Zam-Bsik to all sufferers from
