In the �1reface to his " Journal of a Voyage ffhrough the North-West Cmutinent of Americo," (published in 1801) Mackenzie says :-" 1 was led at an early period of my life, by oommeroial views, to the country 0iorth-west of Lake Superior, in North sl.merica, and beiug endowed by nature with an inquisitive mind and enterprising spirit, bossessing also a constitution and frame of ody equal to the most arduous undertak- ings, and being familiar with toilsome ex. onions in the prosecution of mercantile pursuits, I not only contemplated the pram tenability of penetrating across the continent of America, but was confident in the queli- &ations, as I was animated by the deeire to Undertake the perilous enterprise." On the Oth of May, 1708, ;Mackenzie, (having left Montreal and arrived at Fort lOhipewyan the preceding October, proceed- ed on his t\'esternexppedition, following the Peace river, and remising one of its branoh- es, the Findlay ; ultimately embarking on the Tatouche (uow Fraser) river, believing et to be the main body, or a branch of the great Columbia. Advised by various Indian tribes that TILE RI780IN, WATERS ataraets, ane gn;geo were uoc only perilous, but rendered navigation animpossibility,he eventually retraced a portion of his route, z, ad sixteen days afterwards, reavhed what e termed "the cheek of Vancouver's Ou- tdo oaual"-north-west trom Bentinck ren. The journey from Fort Chipewyan cite Cascade canal er Cascade Inlet, as it ppoars on recent charts, was accomplished 1 about eleven weeks, phenomenal progress ,neidering the terrible hardships endured, and the almost insurmountable difficulties overcome. The chronicler says: - We had nu sooner landed than we took posseeeion of a rook, where there was not space for, more than twiee our number, and which admitted of onr defending ourselves with advantage, in case we should be attack- ed. The people in the first canoes (referring to Indlaa meters) were the most trouble- some, but after doing their utmost to irri- tate us, they went away. .They were, how• ever, .nosooner gone thana hat, a hanclker- chief and several other articles were miss- ing." Then a second boat arrived "with ) seven stout, well looking men." Their Eng- I Bah vocabulary was limited to the monosyll- able i , ahie ""to,"chic chiefly mployed in refusing„ta dispose of otter and goat skins at anything like a reasonable price. The Indians of that day took what did not belong to them, also demanded exorbitant prices for their wares. Lau it be possible that eventually they bequeathed to the whites some modi- eum of them rapacity? Be that as it may, Mackenzie dldnot tamely submit to the de. p .lotion of what a best, U , was a primeval, certainly a limited, wardrobe, and despite the feat that the recent arrivals made ad- vance towards something approaching the' a 'eotionate, he kept them at arm's length. They, however, volunteered the informetion that " Maenbah" (Vanmonver) had been there, "and left his ship behind it, point ad land in the channel, south-west of then." 1 Mackenzie grimly chronicles, ' The natives l having left us. . I directed the poo- I pie to keep watch by two, in turn, and laid i • myself down in my cloak." The morning' of the 22nd of July, 1703, was bright and' beautiful ; then and there, the man who had a few years before given bis name to what f is now an historic Northern river, stamped the sign -manual of British prowess on the : shores of the great Pacilio ocean.

Thus win landed at four in the afternoon, at the place which WO left on the Oth of May, I reoeived the reward of my labors,for they were crowned with success I" This then, in brief, is the plain story of a great man's victory over obstacles seem- ingly insurmountable, the story too of an event fraught with tremendous consequenc- es to VIE BRITISH EMPIRE for the Dominion of Canada claims sover- eignty over the greater portion of theAmeri- can Continent, two oceans are connected by iron bands, and Great Britain controls the shortest and safest route to her possessions in the East. One intrepid spirit, inspiring these whon,be directed, acoompliahed mar- vellous work, and today is the centenary of his masterful combat with and splendid victory over the combined forces of nature and the savage elenhents owning her sover- eignty. To chronicle this historic journey with all its graphic incidents ; to paint the picture of brave men struggling to assert man's supremacy; to describe hairbreadth escapes from Rood, and hand-to-hand en. counters with suspicious savages, is not the design of his brief record ; sulfite to show that perils were sucoesafully encountered, obstacles surmounted, difficulties overcome. Across snow -packed, tree -strewn gorges ; widely -gaping crevasses ; through swollen streams and cataracts, roaring above rocky beds ; through canyons where human life had never before pulsatect ; beneath crash- ing boulders and along ledges seemingly sus- pended in midair; forcing a pathway through trackless mazes of dense forests, those cru- saders accomplished for the greater pro. tion of the American continent that which entitles them to the love, the respect, the admiration of the present genera- tion. Truly, there were giants in the earth in those days; a marvellous race of men; faithful unto death, to that which duty dictates ; a galaxy of memorable characters, a group of Titans who feared naught save failure. Nob alone Alexander Maokenzie ; long ere his time, by land, and sea, and river, hardy pioneers had found a lebour of love in the wilds ot Lakes Huron, Ontario, and Superior. The French pioneers under Champlain had as- cended the Ottawa ; Fathers Rnymbanit and Joques had (1040) penetrated the north shore of Lake Superior and reached Sault Ste. Merle ; Albanel had (1 671 ) accomplished an overland expedition tion Quebec to Hudson Bay, and Royon visited tate Lake of the Woods ; LaVen !rye (1731-30) had reached the Saskatchewan, and his son, Chevalier LaVendrye, bed penetrated witk- in the Rooky Mountain zone ; LaSalle had pierced the interior of America to die by VIE 1ANUS OF ASSASSINS, and the pious Friar Ribourde (1680), bre- viary fn hand, had fallen beneath the war Clubs of savages, for whose salvation lie had surrendered courtly honours and prefer. meats. It was ordained, however, that Alexander Maokenize should become famous in Western annals, rendering services to oivilization far in advance of any outer in- dividual explorer. He brought a new world oto existence, opened a new field, inspired a sahoal of hardy enthusiasts, and, ere he passed to his long home, realized in a spirit of humility, yet with justifiable pride, that le had accomplished something worthy, something benefieiel, something ennobling, something which would entitle him to the ova and respect of future generations. One can well imagine the interest awak- ened in the mind of Alexander iMaokenize, as Simon Fraser, fifteen years afterwards 1838), arrive 1 at Fort George, and was ad- vised by the Indians to turn back or perish -the very point where Mackenize decided o retrace his steps, and thus reach the oast by another and shorter route. To rend Senator Masson's quotations from Fra- er's "Journal" in "Ie Bonrgeoiv de la Compagnie de Nord-Onest," the appalling dangers are immediately realized ; narlow canyons, steep pre0ipiees, contracting the oaring waters, "turbulent, noisy, and awful o beold," within a span of thirty feet, apids, cascades, iitorcepllis rooks -then portaging heavy loads, paths, canoes, erm- ine ravines, pn.ssing along the claolivity of mountains, all combined to strilce terror nto the hearts of the bravest. "etpurzum" was reached, where now (:801*) stands the Canadian Pacific railway station a few miles eat of Yale. Little did :limon Fraser dream as he and at the moue, that there were those iving who would witness the opening of a real tranaeentmootal railway through this weird and apparently inhpassal.le country : that against the face of the roe;=, 150 feet above the boisterous river, teals would ho laid and trestles brought into re7uiaitinn, and the roar of The )ncontotirthoard maid the crags and. gorges and pealts of these terribly impressive wilds, I•'oor Fraser; he did hie work well, and starved for it, Then, too, David Thompson, after whom another great 0)04' is named ; he should net be forgotten, for these men, Mnoltenzio Fritter, and Thompson, are one in historical importance.

It matters little to the dead ; but what a commentary upon the living 1 Mackenzie made Montreal famous ; his very name reflected I81 108 MED SPLENDOR upon her oom:neroe, her fndestries, her business energy ; it dirt more, for the Dominion of Canada profited by itis indifati- gable labour, and to -day pointa proudly to a great national work, which, without the 10aokeuzies, the Thompsons, and the Frasers, world bo but an empty dream. 1loekm:die was honoured with a knighthood; Fraser was offered one, but declined it be- cause the was starving to death; honours were cheap, bread dear, Thompson, too, was allowed to go to his grave a pauper, and to -day no monument, no hietorio paint- ing, nor national testimonial commemorates the chivalrous devotion of three great ex- plorers to a country which has become ono of the richest and most promising portions of British North America. A chronicler sadly says : "Simon Fraser died at St. Andrews, above Montreal, at the age of 89, and leaving no provision for his family." And of David Thompson, "He lived to be 87, dying atLongueull, opposite Montreal, on February 1011, 1807, itis sad to write, in extreme poverty," Simon Fraser left relatives, and a smell, very small pension is now allowed some of them. Some months ago Mr. Sandford Fleming. 0. M. G„ whose admirable addresses have been listened to, and whose writings perused with pleasure by all interested in historic subjects appertaining to Canada, made a powerful appeal at the Canadian Institute, in Toronto, advocating " Cana- dian Historioal Pictures," the learned gen- tleman especially referringto Sir Alexander Mackenzie's explorations, via Peace River to the Pacific coast. Apparently the ap• peal has been in vain. The last spike in the Pacific railway was driven in 1885; fortunes have been made and imhnenoo 0012- tributions given by scores of wealthy igen towards various public institutions ; but no sound of that which would make Canadians proud of their country, and anxious to emu- late the deeds of early pioneers ; no wihis- per that an historioal institute is to be es. tablislted and endowed ; no announcement that public assistance will be given, and scenes transferred to canvas for preser. cation during generations to oome.

Every male reader has more tlhut enc0 fallen over a schoolgirl •l wI u d l t 10 has s td1 eL. • stopped ed on the sidewalk to tie a shoelace. Every reader of that sex has frequently stopped - perhaps it has happened in the middle of a deolarution of love -while his fair compan- ion has pot a foot 0n a near -by garden rail- ing and stooped over to tie " that provolt- ing shoelace," Every such reader has him- self bean halted -and perhaps missed the last train out of totru an a Saturday night -in ceder to catch up the laying ends of (lie shoelacros, whose trio-truo on tate pave- ment warned him that if he did not tie sham up ho might trip on ono of them and break a limb. Every militiaman has more than once spoiled the effect of a march and dropped out of line in order to tie a refractory shoelace in the gutter while the battalion swept by. In short it has seemed as though nothing could be devised to take the place of shoelaces, and as if no way could be found for keeping them secure. ly tied. This young shoe clerk has found the way -at least he has been making the way publicly known -so that hereafter men and women may buy shoes with the conscious- ness that they man pursue their chosen vocation without frequent and annoying interruptions that constitute a horrible slavery to their shoelaces. This clerk shows that all that is necessary is to tie a doable bowknot iu the same way that everybody does, completing the operation up to the very last point of drawing the knot tight against the shoe. Before doing that and finishing the job he brings in his clinching and perfecting touch. It is done by merely bending one of the loops of the bow under the knot, and then pnlling the knot tight by taking hold of each loop and pulling. The illustration shows all that is new in the clever unloosable knot, When the reader ties his shoelaces and has the bow- knot completed he will notice a space or opening between the laces where they cone up from the shoe to meet at the knot. Into and through that space he trust put one of tate loop ends of the knot. He merely takes bold ot one loop, bends it under the knot, pushes it through the opening be- tween the knot and the shoe, and then pulls the knot tight by pulling on the two loops in the old fashioned way. If he does that not ell the pow•ere of darkness nor all the euseedness of inanimate things will ever be able to make that shoelace oome untied, until he wants it to. When he wants to untie it he will do so as easily as he ever untied any shoelace. A pall on the tag end of the laces and the thing is done. Shooking Oriins in Paris. An atrocious crime, the motive of tvhioh is still a matter of lively conjecture, was committed on Sunday evening iu the Rue de Saintonge, Paris, a usually quiet street iu the Temple quarter. M. Bouroille, a young Ulan who was only married last March, and is the proprietor of a flourishing bakery, was sitting in his shop, when,a respeotablydressed man entered, and asked for two pounds of bread. the baker turned round for a moment, and instantly received a terrific blow with a knife at the back of bhe neck, lie faced round towards his assail. ant, who stabbed him twice more, but he was able to push his way to the door and call "Murder 1" in a load voice. A number of:neighbours rushed to the scene, and while some assisted tate unfortunate man to the nearest chemist's, others melted into tate shop in the hope of arresting the crimi- nal. They were, however, to late, for the man had sought a refuge in tate parlour be- hind the shop, and there had committed suicide by stabbing himself in the obese and throat with his knife, a weapon of Spanish make, with a blade nearly a foot in length. While this tragical event was taking place Madame Bouroille, a young woman of only 22, was away in the country at Etreclly, whither she had been summoned by telegram to the bedside of her mother, Who, by a sad coincidence, died that day shortly after her arrival. The crime is still enveloped in mystery, as the assassin's body, which has been publicly exhibited in the Morgue, has not been recognised by anyone, and 1i, Bouroille, who, eltough in a very critical condition, was gneseioned in the hospital, declared that he knew nothing of his as. maim t.
