received his early education in Glasgow, and studied law in that city for a few years.Not taking a great fancy to that vocation, he, at the age of 17, entered the service of the Glasgow and South-Western Railway, and from that date his successful career as a railway man began.In 1851 he accepted an appointment in the head office of the North-Eas- tern Railway at Newcastle-on- Tyne, and was in the freight department for several years.In 1855 Mr.Hendrie received the appointment which brought him to Canada, coming to Hamilton to enter the service of the then Great Western Railway.This road, since absorbed by the Grand Trunk, was then being constructed, and Mr.Hendrie at once took up this branch of the work.He also took general contracting work on a large scale, one of his first great works being the laying of the mains of the Hamilton waterworks system.He was one of the promoters of the Wellington, Grey and Bruce Railway, and built most of the system from Southampton to Kincardine.He also built Harrisburg and Brantford branch, the Canfield and Welland division, and the Allanburg and Clifton branch.Subsequently; in conjunction with others, he built the Northern and Pacific Junction from Gravenhurst to the Canadian Pacific Railway at Lake Nipissing.Mr.Hendrie was a very successful stock breeder.\\ - PROMINENT CANADIAN DEAD.THE LATE MR.WILLIAM HENDRIE\u2014Of Hamilton, the most famous of Canadian turfmen.EW ARCHBISHOP OF HALIFAX.\u2014 Rev.Dr.McCarthy, whom a despatch from Rome names as the new Archbishop of Halifax, is a native of Halifax.He was born in the city about fifty-six years ago, and attended school in Halifax, first going to St.Mary\u2019s College, thereafter taking the course at Laval.He was ordained by the late Archbishop Connolly in 1876, only a few days before the death of that prelate.His first charge after ordination was Kentville, then Chester, then Yarmouth, then St.Patrick\u2019s, Halifax, and finally St.Mary\u2019s, Halifax, where he has been for the past three or four years as rector.McCarthy as a boy was a good athlete, and at his studies he held his own very well with his classmates.St.Francis Xavier gave him the degree of LILD.Dr.McCarthy combines those qualities which go to make a successful prelate.As a public speaker and fervent preacher he is a fitting successor to the long line of Archbishops of the Diocese of Halifax famed for their pulpit eloquence.A devout Catholic.he has shown such tolerance and diplomacy as easily made him the most popular clergyman with people of all denominations in every parish he has held.An earnest and approachable pastor to the poorest in his flock, he is also a clever business man.He went to Yarmouth and found a ramshackle old wooden church, and built and paid for a handsome brick and stone church, such as would be an ornament to any parish.He also erected a beautiful presbytery.THE REV.FATHER McCARTHY\u2014Archbishop-elect of Halifax, N.S.Recently in the

the railway, and the waterway.\u201d For several decades it was fashionable to ignore the first and sneer at the third member of this trinity, to the exclusive glorification of the railway.To-day the respective points of superiority of all three are recognized, viz., availability, speed, economy.The latter part of the nineteenth century was the day of undisputed sway of the railway.The first years of the twentieth century mark the dawn of a new day for the waterway.When De Lesseps joined Occident and Orient by the Suez Canal, the popular imagination was fired by the undertaking.The Panama Canal appeals no less to the fancy, because it connects the two great oceans.with these, one of the most splendid achievements in this direction, and among the most important and far- reaching in its results, will undoubtedly be the linking of the Great Lakes and the Altantic by a deep waterway.By a miracle of nature, the St.Lawrence and the Great Lakes stretch a coast line of thousands of miles into the heart of the continent.The tributary territory comprises one of the greatest bodies of fertile lands in the world, a country rich in minerals and other natural resources.Already a large proportion of the population and wealth of the continent are concentrated in this territory, and the flood of population has but begun to roll into the fertile prairies of our North-West, On a par 2,

lock involved n expenditure for which I can see no Jmmercial reason, as only two Canadian steamers plied last season on Lake Superior.The money would be wasted.\u201d Fifty years after the opening of the first lock at the Sault, we already see a traffic during the season of navigation, which is rapidly approaching and will soon pass the mark of 50,000,000 tons per annum, Unquestionably the money spent on the Sault Canals has been one of the most profitable investiments ever made.We have invested capital to the extent of about $1,200,000,000 in railways in Canada.The Sault Canals have cost about one hundredth part of that afnount.And yet the freight carried by all Canadian railroads during twelve months last year did not greatly exceed that passed through the Sault locks in seven months of the season of navigation.The average length of haul by the lake route being about 825 miles, the actual service performed as represented by the ton-mileage of freight hauled was probably in favor of the waterway.The freight passing the Sault in 1902 was 35,961,146 tons, the amount paid for carriage $26,566,189, and the average haul 825 miles.If this freight had been moved by the New York Central at its average rate of earning for carrying one ton one mile, viz., 6 1-3 mills, the cost would have been $190,000,000, showing a saving effected by the Sault Canal in one year of about

value of the iron consists in the labor expended in its manfacture, the iron ore shipments of the Lake Superior region during the past twenty years have been the direct means of distributing probably not less than $6,000,- 000,000 to the working-men of the United States.RR BR BX Some of the Indirect Results Specified.The indirect results are too far- reaching to be followed.Among them may be

over thirty years ago, on the Upper Ottawa River, and used by steamers towing lumber.(Photograph by McLaughlin, Ottawa.) mens of iron through the Sault Canals doubled in the last five years of the century, and now exceed 25,000,000 tons anually.It is largely on this output of cheap iron ore that the industrial and commercial supremacy of the United States is founded.RR % oR Rendered Remarkable Industrial Development Possible.The twenty-foot waterway at the Sault gave the United States 1,000 miles of deep water navigation between her principal ore beds on Lake Superior and coal mines in Pennsylvania, and has rendered possible an unprecedented industrial development, By extending deep water navigation from the Lakes to the Atlantic, the proposed Georgian Bay Canal will open the ports of the world to the further expansion of the already commerce of the Lakes.We are assured that Canada also possesses vast deposits of iron ore in the Lake Superior region.We have hundreds of millions of tons of nickel iron in the Sudbury region and northward.In Central Ontario and Western Quebec are large areas of iron bearing extensive I the best-equipped railroad in the United States.Even suppose the railway to carry at 21% mills per ton per mile, the advantage rests with the waterway to the extent of nearly $50,000,000.In other words, had the country been dependent upon the railroads for this service, and had they gran\u2018ed the lowest possible rates compa\u201c ible with their continued existence, $50,000,000 more would have gone to the railroads, and just that much less into the pockets of the producers.In the discussiors of transportation in the Canadian Parliament, it is a noteworthy fact that the question of carriage of North-West grain has overshadowed, in fact, practically excluded, the consideration of all others, although only about one-twelf:h of the traffic at the Sault consists of grain or products of grain, while iron and coal account for more than three-fourths of the total traffic.XR Tè% Ft Has True Aim and Interest Of Canada Been Ignored?Has not the real significance of the traffic at the Sault, and the true aim and interest of Canada in the construction of a deep waterway between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic thus been lost sight of?The benefits that have accrued to the United States from the 20-foot chan- SCENES ALONG ROUTE OF

largely the wealth, population, and industrial status of the country.And the development of these is almost entirely a question of transportation.To revert to the benefits accruing to the United States from the deep waterway at the Sault.The supply of cheap iron ore from the Lake Superior region has contributed more to the increase in wealth and expansion of commerce and industry south of the line, than any other one cause.Since 1885 shipments of iron ore have agregated about 270,000,000 tons.Assuming an average yield of 50 per cent.of iron, this has produced 135,000.000 tons of a I SCENES

has built up manufactures which have afforded to the railroads an enormous volume of profitable traffic, and thus increased their prosperity as well as that of the country at large.(4) The creation of a great fleet of steel freighters on the Lakes furnishing the cheapest transportation in the world.The operation of this fleet has shifted the grain area of the continent, and brought under cultivation millions of acres of wheat lands that would be hopelessly shut out from the markets of the world if dependent entirely on railways, and, without the waterway, would be to-day a wilderness.(5) The stimulation of the American iron and steel trades to such a degree that they are now competing in almost every market the world over.RE XB Xx The Effects are Traceable Plainly to the Cause.(6) The growth of ship-building on lakes and coast has forced to the front questions of commercial and naval supremacy.The shipments of iron ore from the Lake Superior region have been the most potent factor in placing the United States in a position to build a navy, to contemplate the creation of a commercial marine upon a large scale, and to complete the Panama Canal for the extensions of her markets and the benefit of her foreign commerce.Such are some of the effects.And they are traceable directly to the cause.Three-fourths of the iron ore of the (Photograph by McLaughlin, Ottawa.) x struction of the canal Sault Ste.Marie, at Sault locks and the deepening of the The result of the enlargement of the channel to twenty feet is clearly shown by the fact that shipments of ore for the first six years after the opening of the deep waterway nearly equalled those for forty-two years before.And the anual output has since been increasing by leaps and bounds.Of the total output from the Lake Superior region, over 210,000,000 tons, or 70 per cent., have been produced in the last twelve years, and about 140,000,000 tons or nearly 50 per cent.of the whole output, within the last six years.Ship- lands, including extensive deposits of magnetic iron within sight of the Parliament Buildings.While processes of electric smelting may lessen the fuel requirements for the manufacture of pig iron, there can be no doubt as to the impetus which will be given the iron and steel industries of Canada when a Nova Scotia collier can proceed to any point as far west as Port Arthur, and when iron ores from the Central Canadian ore fields can proceed direct to Sydney.4 X% XR æ 2, Re How Importance of Deep Waterway may be Judged.Competent authorities are of opinion that an important business can be done through the deep waterway by vessels carrying ore eastward and coal westward.Mr.Graham Fraser states that coal can be sent to the head of the Lakes and ore brought down to Nova Scotia at a rate under $1.00 per ton.This is lower than the cost of delivery of the same ore at Pittsburg.From the mines to Erie or Cleveland costs as low as fifty cents per ton.There the ore is transferred to cars, and the railway haul of 155 miles at an average rate of four mills per ton-mile costs sixty-two cents, making a total of $1.12 per plus trans-shipment charges.With the cost of delivering ton NN ore fairly on an equality, Sydney should have a tremendous advantage over Pittsburg for all foreign trade, due to the fact that the manufactured iron must undergo a costly rail haul to the seaboard from the latter point, and that Sydney is 1,000 miles nearer European markets.The importance of a deep waterway to the coal trade of Nova Scotia may be judged from American experience on the Great Lakes.From American ports coal shipments westward reach about 10,000,000 tons per annum.From Milwaukee northward, the entire bulk of the coal received is shipped by the lakes.Lake Superior ports alone receive over 5,000,000 tons per annum.This traffic is the creation of and has resulted entirely from the low rates of water carriage and from the demand for westbound freight, Coal is carried on the lakes at 14 mill per ton per mile or less.By rail the average rate is about four mills per ton per mile, or just eight times as much as by water.Had the North-western States been dependent upon the railways for their fuel supply, there can be no doubt the development of that country would have been greatly retarded.Unless the supply of Canadian ore is not what we have been led to suppose, or the ore itself is unsuitable for the manufacture of steel, the joining of our coal and iron areas by a deep waterway should result, as it has in the United States, in a great industrial expansion.The rapid rate at which the North- West grain lands are now being occupied points to the immediate necessity for this, unless the fruits of our efforts in the past are to be largely reaped by outsiders.Closely bound up with the matter of transportation is the ship-building industry.The advance of the United States in recent years as a steel-mak- ing nation has revived ship-building.In ten years from 1891 to 1900, there were launched on the Great Lakes, steel vessels with a tonnage of 450,089 tons, as against 292,741 tons on all the United States seaboard for the same period.XR XR RR St.Lawrence Canals Practically Useless.The ship-building industry in Canada enjoyed an era of prosperity when wood was the chief constructive material, but has not yet felt any great impetus from our infant steel industries, the result being that the vessel tonnage ot the Dominion is barely half what it was twenty-five years ago.Canadian vessels on the Lakes are few in number, and, with the exception of a dozen or more steamers, small.A notable result of our failure to meet changed conditions in shipbuilding was the absence of tonnage to use the St.Lawrence canals upon completion of their enlargement, This work went on for thirty years.During the last half of this period a class of vessels sprang up of such dimensions as to be unable to pass the locks, and the canal is therefore practically useless until a fleet can be constructed capable of using it.Development of our iron and steel industry, owing to cheap transportation of ore and coal by water, will undoubtedly lead to a revival of shipbuilding in Canada, as a result of the opening of the broposed waterway.If a deep waterway is desirable for the development of the coal and steel trades, and all industrial activities based thereon, it is absolutely essential to the best development of the North- West.The existence of the grain trade in its present proportions is owing to the economy of carriage effected by the ee mr SCENES ALONG ROUTE OF GEORGIAN BAY CANAL, CANADA ING\u2014A bay on Trout Lake, headquarters of the Mattawa River.'S NEXT GREAT NATIONAL UNDERTAK- (Photograph

fashionable silks, besides being unusually attractive this season, are far more serviceable than one can imagine.They do not soil so easily, and even when the cleanser\u2019s aid is needed, the fabrics withstand the shock of the operation without bad results.The best cleansers guarantee to preserve the color of anything they take, and advertise the fact that they accept gowns au their own risk.The silks that will stand all of this cost a little more, but it pays to buy them, for the cheap imitations never wear well.Plain bands of the same material, quillings of ribbon, inset lace and lace frills, to say nothing of tucks, are all good trimming ideas for the smart silks, and an excellent idea for enlivening a frock after it has come from the cleanser\u2019s, is to embroider patches of French knots in silver and gold threads through the lace trimming, with probably, too, a few knots of bright colored silk.BR BX ee Simple Silk Dress of an Unusual Daintiness.Some unusually dainty dresses of simple silk are made with tucked skirts and sailor blouses trimmed with Broderie Anglaise.Deep tueks finish a deep flounce set on to the skirt and form the heading as well, while finer tucks arranged in graduated effect dispose of the fulness about the waistline.The blouse is tucked around the figure at the bustline, while the vest of silk has three-inch wide tucks between the girdle and opening of.the narrow vest of tucked gauze.Opening over the vest are revers of silk trimmed with broderie Anglaise.Cuffs of the same trimming finish the sleeves, with deep net ruffles below.White is no less a favorite in silk than in linen.On the silk counters there are to be seen very thin poplins, as soft and pliable as chiffon, which are made into exquisite toilettes.These poplins are being revived with a furore, many of them being embroidered in beautiful rosebud and forget-me-not designs, just like the ultra fabries of the past two seasons.Popular Parisian Color Combination is Brown and White.Brown and white is the color combination of the hour in Paris, and one could desire nothing more charming.A dash of color goes well with the two, and for this the couturieres use apricot, watercress green, apple green, mauve, Egyptian turquoise and rose.Silk pop- lins are used frequently for summer evening wraps, being delightfully trimmed with heavy laces

the petite Parisienne makes the most subtle distinction between them, the girl with black tresses choosing the blue whites, while the blondes adhere to the simple pure whites of fact and fiction.The home artist finds it much easier to handle the blouse and skirt models than the princely frocks of lingerie that are so much in vogue, but when the latter are Princesse merely by virtue of having

sometimes a deep girdle.XR ee ee Smart Women Affect These Two Skirt Trimmings.There are two skirt trimmings which are much affected by smart women, although they are not exactly new.And, by the way, a style loses its hold upon popular, or rather fashionable, favor not so much by the length of time it lasts as by its inability to withstand too great a popularity.The first of the trimmings referred to is com- Photographs by Henri Manuel, Photographie d\u2019Art, Paris.posed of ruchings of narrow satin ribbon, or chenille, or chine ribbon.The first named is, however, the least expensive and more appropriate for the general run of summer fabriecs.The others are reserved more for handsome lace gowns and blouses.The second decoration is that of applied bands to simulate wide tucks.These often give the ap- pearance of a triple skirt, and are admirably suited to tall women.À graceful frock of Queen\u2019s gray is made with a corselet skirt, with a ten-inch hem, above which, at short distance, is a six-inch applied fold, and above this a narrower one.The effect is severely smart, yet much to be desired by the woman of original taste.JEANNETTE.ag TWILIGHT +9 The sunset fades, and

week by Mr.Burland.Presented Handsome Building HE occasion of the recent presen- C tation to the Protestant Hospital for the Insane of a splendid residerce for the Medical Superintendent by Mr.G.B.Burland, of Montreal, was fittingly celebrated by the friends of the Institution.An address, signed by Mr.Peter Lyall, President, and Mr.Jonathan Brown, secretary, was presented to the generous donor.Mr.Burland announced his gift in the following modest speech: Mr.President, Ladies and Gentlemen, \u2014I have felt for a long time that a residence for the Medical Superintendent was much required, both for the comfort of his family, and to provide more accommodation for the public in the main building.That desire I now place before you in a tangible form, and 1 have much pleasure, Mr.President, in presenting you with the deed of the property fully équipped.The Board of Management thanked Mr.Burland as follows: G.B.Burland, Esq., Montreal.Dear Sir,\u2014The Board of Management of the Protestant Hospital for the Insane desire to convey to you an expression of their warm gratitude for your long continued interest in this important charity, of which you were the first benefactor.Your first act of generosity has been followed by many others, notably the gift of a Pathological Department, ably presided over by Dr.Macphail, and under his direction splendidly equipped by you, and now Net known, and the Governors wish to assure you that your munificence could not have taken a more welcome form.The want of a residence has been most pressingly felt, but the Board had no ily, and their successors, a cause of great satisfaction to the Board of Management; and a credit to the institution and to the Province.The Board ask you to accept this address as a mark of their sincere appreciation of your well-known generosity to the Hospital, and hope that for many years to come it will serve to remind you of the benefit you have conferred on one of our most needed and most deserving institutions, and of the affectionate re- MR.G.B.BURLAND\u2014Donor of the handsome new residential quarters for the Medical Superintendent of the Protestant Hospital for the Insane, agement, and likewise to my good friend Dr, Burgess, the Medical Superintendent.To carry out efficiently the work of such an Institution as this, and to confer the greatest benefits possible upon the unfortunates of this district, for whom we care, it seems to me that the head of the Medical Staff ought to be properly housed, with his own family, where he can, in a more retired way, work out the problems which present themselves in the Hospital from day to day.The reputation and standing which Dr.Burgess has won on this continent are too well known for me to say anything Bah a TTY Loam

Management, 2 a =).te (04 BR RP a « Mr.Burland\u2019s Reply To the Address.Mr.Burland replied as follows: Mr.President, Ladies and Gentlemen, \u2014~\u2014I must thank you most heartily for the flattering expression of your appreciation of my humble efforts on behalf of such an important institution as that in which we are gathered to-day, and in whose interests we are all so deeply concerned.True.that I was one of its original founders, and probably the first subscriber towards the erection of this Hospital for the Insane.It must always be a source of pleasure and gratification to see an Institution prosper, and its success depends largely upon the full harmony of surroundings as well as upon the comfort of all who have to do with its management.In donating the present residence, it seems to me that it fills a long-felt want, and I am delighted to hear that my humble efforts in this direction have given satisfaction to the Board of Man- on this subject.I am certain that I am voicing the sentiments of all present when I say that we all hope and pray that Dr.Burgess and his estimable wife may long be spared to enjoy a life of further usefulness with and for the noble institution in which they have wrought so ably and successfully for the past 23 years.It affords me much pleasure in being present here to-day, and trust that the good work begun will go on and flourish under your able Board of Management.THE WORK OF THE INSTITUTION.In connection with the gift of Mr.Burland to the Protestant Hospital for the Insane, a few facts relative to the work of the institution will be found interesting.There were in the hospital on January 1st, 1905, according to the Superintendent\u2019s report, four hundred and sixty-four patients, inclusive of two out on trial, namely, two hundred and forty men and two hundred and twenty-four women.The cases admitted during the year numbered one hundred and nine- ty\u2014one hundred and three men and eighty-seven women.The total number of cases under treatment last year was, therefore, six hundred and fifty- four\u2014three hundred and forty-three men and three hundred and eleven women.Of those received, eighty-three were private and one hundred and seven public cases.Èæ ee RE The Duration Of Illness.The greatest number at any one time in the hospital was five hundred and three, the least four hundred and sixty, while the daily average number for the year was almost four hundred and seventy-six.One hundred and three patients were discharged, forty-six died, two escaped, and two were out on trial,

less in nine cases the duration was non-ascertain- able.One hundred and thirteen of the patients received were natives of Canada, forty-eight of other portions of the British Empire, and twenty-nine were of foreign birth.\u201could there be a more striking commentary on the inefficiency of our immigration laws than this record, which shows over forty per cent.of our admissions to have been of persons born outside of the Dominion of Canada?One hundred and twenty-two of the admissions were residents of the County of Hochelaga, including the city of Montreal and its various suburbs, fifty of other parts of the Province of Quebec, thirteen of other Canadian provinces, and five of the United States.One hundred and thirty-two had had a common school education, and thirty- seven a superior education, while twenty-one were totally ignorant or al- ~ most so.Fifteen were voluntary patients, received at their own request, and one hundred and seventy-five were committed on the regular forms, either public or private.One hundred and seventeen were found on reception to be in average bodily health and condition, fifty-four in indifferent health and reduced condition, and nineteen in bad health and exhausted condition.Heredity was admitted in seventy- seven cases, and denied in eighty-two, while in information on this point could be obtained.Seven- thirty-one no teen cases, about nine
