Hueston, Gorrie, Ontario DREAMS My dream lured 'rne bac In the summer months, J3rassey whatever it may be now, was not Urea* a fashionable resort, There was no bandstand on its 'beach; there 'were no promenades there, no pier, no bathing coaches; no nothing of a resort contrivance. Nature had been left, undisturbed, and uninvaded and as a consequence the beach and its environs were beautiful and .peaceful, In the sunirnerinont its, Brassey bathed in perpetual sunshine, and its atmosphere, though soanetianes chil- ly, was always clear and invigorating, My dream elxose an ideal day, and revealed Brassey to as a veritable paradise. Evidently I was supposed to be holidaying, and had nothing to do but loaf. I felt in wonderful con- dition, Like "Thoreau" I was prepar- ed to suspend everything to hear a locust sing, (though there were no locusts thereabouts) or, like myself, to .watch a crab parade. I was the sole occupant of the beach. I was ut- terly and blissfully alone, Suddenly however, a donkey materialized at my side. It was the donkey Oscar had catapulted.. I recognized it instantly, though most of its aspects had under- gone a mighty change, Its coat was no longer shaggya nd shocky, it was carefully.--cornbed, and as glossy as silk. Its legs indicated unshakable supportability, the length and flexib- ility of its earswere toned down -to becoming proportions and rigidity of texture, Its head was smaller, • its body more graceful, .its complexion cleaner and clearer. A preternatural sagacity shone in its eyes. •It was the same animal, yet very agreeably dis- guised. Further, it possessed the power of speech. It spoke English, with a slightly Scotch accent. Its ar-, ticulation was perfect, its volubility almost uncanny, , I thought its must: have passed through the Oxford Uni- versity," It divined this thought, and at once corrected it, "No, no, my good friend," it said, "what . know- ledge I' have, what erudition I an -i possessed of,eare the results of 'Os- car's magnificent push." "The only way," continued the donkey, "to knock sense into a donkey's head is by force; persuasions won't do, force is necessary." "You are familiar with the force that struck pie, that kindled the light of reason in me, fhat dis pelled,rny mental darkness, that made mesee things, that brought speech to me, that gave me wisdom such as; Brassey Beach and reintroduced pie Balaat r,, ,:; ...: 'and; and used to to the balmy atmosphere of that sal: ... t .. •• tr..per's a ra dise- to the lovely tract of Ayrshire territory so tenent : len '- yell, it was a CONOUEREID BY.

There is nothing of paradise on earth to -day," contin- ued the donkey. "There is no love, no real religion, no sympathy, no bearing one another's burdens; there is nothing but hate; antipathy and selfishness, turmoil and strife." "You speak very strongly, Mr, Donkey," I said, "and surely somewhat harshly." "I have seen the light," he replied, "I go forth to spr.ead it, I want a companion and have selected you.

Milk is also 'used in making soups, custards and. puddings. Milk is a liquid, but it should not bethought of as a beverage, as some- thing to drink in'place of water, Li- quids are necessary acid desirable, and most of our foods contain a large percentage of water, Milk is a food containing about twelve per cent. of solids. There solids ate the very best food substances, light incurred 'l,y citizens of the Canadian Capital is about $1 per month.
