THE HURON EXPOSIT°
•
little traffic on the roads„ they are often im-
passable, and for this reason some of the
public: schools are kept open for only a few
months in the summer. The Sabbath
Schools are also discontinued, and in many
pieces they have no service. Others, again,
consider themselves fortunate when they
have service every second Sabbath, or even
once a month. I may state that in Rol
-
seen we have Divine service morning and
evening every Lord's day. Ry this time I
imagine you think this a terrible place to
live in, and you would doubtless think so if
you lived here for a time. You will also
think the children in those back oettle-
neents must be very unhappy and miserable.
This is so to a certain extent., but you,would
be surprised to find them so happy. Their
means of erijoyment are by no means equal
to your, but they are not without some-
thing to interest them. They are greatly
taken up with lumbering, the chief industry
of this country. Most of the men are en-
gaged in this work, and boys from fourteen
years up find employment in the lumber
camps. So you can easily see that they are
greatly interested in this industry. Then
in summer they have, besides their ordinary
duties, in most localities, boating, fishing
and berry -picking. Then in the fall they
have hunting and trapping, sports which are
too familiar to require comment. So you
see they have a variety of objects to occupy
their time and attention. You will also
meet with bright, intelligent children.
Some have a fair education and are very
fend of reading. I met a young lad yester-
day at his home, some eight miles from here.
He was reading when I was there---` a
novel I am sorry to say.' He told me he
read everything be could lay his hands on,
and also that a certain young man in the
vicinity gave him many novels to read. I
tald him I expected some books from you
and that I would let him have some good
reading. I need scarcely say he Was much
pleased at the prospect of getting good
literature. From this I trust you can
form an idee as to the circumstances of
many ohildren. I thank you very kindly
for your gifts, and trust you will be amply
repaid and find pleasure for yourselves in
the effort to make happier the lives of ethers,
and that you will be encouraged to perievere
in the good work." Yours sincerely,
J. C. SMITE.

is an acknowledged fact, that this Wisher has no equal, it is one of the
wo dr i of the age, for there are actually two machines in one. Fourteen
-Sh rt l can be washed at a time, seven on each side. This machine has the
ha d principle with a leveragli power. The old way is acknowledged by all
ve y defitructive to the clothes The finest fabrics can be washed with this
m chine without the least injury to the goods. The machine will pay for
its if by the saving of the goods as there is In° rubbing; it is all done by
ssnre and suction. When the handles are drawn to the left, the right side
clo es, thus forcing the suds through the clothes, and when the handles are
dr wn to the other side the operation is reversed, and the clothes on the right
sid are, again filling with water. Another great feature of this machine is,
th t it bolds the clothes together throughout the washing process, and for each
se s en niovements of the handles, the clothes make one revolution. Conse-
qu ntly; there are five different operations made with one motion of the
ha dlesi It does its work equal te,if not better, than any hand work in a very
sh a rt 'thole, and it is also easy to operate. A child of fourteen can do the
