Br. Brett has Just returned from the
RAWLY Mountain, where he has been super.
intendingsthe work of the niedical'etaff
along the whole line of construction. ' ConiS'
one micas explosion bas omitted, that
being on the 4th of July, when two men
were killed. 'The utmost emotion is con.
ntantly exercised in transporting the dyna-
mite and in making blasts. The Material
wed is the safest that torn he.ohteitied. The
medical staff consists of Ave doctors, who
visit every camp daily. Two fully equipped
hospitals have been createdon the work
slid these are furniehed with 4 dootot,
feteward and nnr430B, from Whom the
- patients receive every pogalble caro and
attention. No deaths •havo yet oocurred
and the genera condition of the men is
much .better than was expectod. The
100.170p8 are kept clean and every•-peceution
is taken to prevent the outbreak of abeam.
The climate Is in Oriell healthful and invig-
orating, of which fact the robust appear-
ance of Dr. Brett, after his eix weeks`Viaili
there, is unquestionable prey!. •
The railway is beirig &abed forward
energetically, and it is expeoted that the
lint crossing of the Columbia will be made
by the •middle of °debar. A. great deal of
wet weather has been experienced during
the Bummer, and has to a great extent im-
peded the progress_ ot tbe work. Those
almost daily rainfalls oan no doubt be
accounted for in BOMB degree by the con-
stant explosion of blasting material. Trask.
laying was commenced thisseason at a
.pomt About three miles beyond Laggen,
and seven or eight miles have been laidap
to -the present tilde. The road bed has
been completed for a coneiderable dis-
tance beyond this and the • remaining
forty -Ave miles to the C3olumbla River
will be covered by rails during the next
three menthe. After °mooing the Colum-
bia the line follows the:river hank north-
ward for about 40 miles, and this portion
will he easy to tuna, very little rook cut-
ting being necessary.. The line then turns
sharply and •runa southwesterly • down

crones the Columbia the second gam
Then it runs through the Gold Range by
the Eagle Paso, crosses Valley Like and
fames down the shores of Thompson River
to Kamloops, where ifs will connect with
the -western division.' The distance from
Laggan to Kemloope is 270 ranee. The
rock cutting has been pretty heavy 'work,
the -outs in some placer; being 25 feet deep.
From the head of Kicking'. Horse
Lake to the Columbia River 'the
work is also heavy. The Minuet
Mountain tunnel is progressing rapidly.
The distance to be tunnelled through -the
side of 'the mountain is about.. 200 feet.
'Work has been pushed from both ends and
in the middle, and this difficult task will
soon be completed. The force of men now
employed number's upwards of 6,000, and
this -number will berinoidueed as tho work
progresses. At present the Operations of
the o praetors are coporostrated on a short
dist.'to aline that -more than din present
force can not be utilized to advantage. In
a few weeks they will commence to spread
out, and work will be afforded to a Much
larger number.
The scenery, Dr. Brett says, is magni-
ficently grand, surpassing in heasity, that
of the eastern slope. No imagination
ean conceive' no pen eon paint the
panorama, ofsublime grandeur widish
'Treads out at every turn. The towering,
snow -clad mountain peaks, the rugged
rooks tottering on the verge of bottomless
chasms, the glistening mountain streams
rushing madly down deep gorges, all these,
relieved at frequent intervalii by glassy
lakelets and patches of .greeriest foliage,
must be seen to be appreciated. The
numerous streams which traverse .the
mountains in all directions abound with
fish wlaich are mealy caught. The valleys
and timbdited districts contain an endless
variety of small game, besides black
bears, mountain deer, sheep and goatee
which afford exciting *orb to the hunter
and tourist. The invigorating atmosphere,
beautiful scenery, abundanoe of game, etc.,
will doubtlees attract a largenumber of
touriets and holiday seekers to the moun-
tains during the coming auturrin.-'Winnipee

No Position tut amArdele of Food.
There is talk in England now regarding
that important article of diet, cheese.
Certain objectors assert that in the raw
state eheese is an unhealthy ortiele of diet.
As a retain' of this experiments have bean
made. An Englishman, jilt, Matthew
lecturing on the subjegt

pointed out the fact that oboes° is

pointing out one reason -that people found
a difficulty in digesting it. This Was became
• the salts of the milk were len in the whey
when cheese was made with refloat.
These, especially potash, were most fleeces:
sort' to assist digestion, and food which did'
not contain them shouldnot be taken alone.
Reasoning upon these tip:), scientific truths,
be had made a laiMber of experiment's as
to various ways in which oheese might 'be
made digestible. Casein itself was not
indigeotible, because it was taken with
advantage by infants; and in milk there
were two oaks which were neceseary to
nutriment and easy digestion. - • -
His -Wei in the experimenthe had Per-
formed was to bring therm constituents to-
gether and Bee what nourishing and
palatable foods could be made from them.
By putting a, tohrth ,of an ounce of biota.

either from his °winter or from his cart.
The other is to steal the eteff of life by
means of feriae weights and serties, • Yet,
although the two offences are practically
one and the same from a moral point. of
view, the law metes out very different pun-
isbment to them. Thus, in a Lent:eel:lire

arraigned for the onessortroof robbery, and

The question of the solubility of cheese
might therefore beriorne a test as to ire
purity, but in any case Gloucestershire was
right. In Italy cheese was %medin an
infinite variety of Ways, of•which sprinkling
it over soup was elm of the MOBt oOMMOD.
Macaroni cheese, as it was served in Eng,
land, was frequently browned. The idea
of browning oneese-half carbonizing it --
before it was eaten WaB worse than eating
it in raw lump, bemuse it rendered it
more indigestible than ever. One excellent
way in which to use cheead.was to mope
it and put it in porridge. Mashed potato
mixed with cheeee scrapings made a capital
pudding, which was fit to eat. Cheese
marabout was excellent food.
In Ireland the people used large quanti-
ties of Iudian corn for food. Thai alooti Was
very insipid,but,when token With 'grated
oheese it was a different thing altogether.
Inotead of taking -lumps- of -bread with
lumpe of cheese for supper, a far better
plan Was to make a cheese pudding. This
could be done. by placing alternatelayer's

point out the importance to your city of a
