Trinity Church, Galt; and Trinity Church, Montreal.In 1870 he was appointed Assistant to the Reverend Canon Ellegood, at the Church of St.James the Apostle, Montreal.He was Rector of St.Thomas\u2019 Church, Hamilton, from 1871 to 1875; and Rector of St.Martin\u2019s Church, Montreal, from 1875 to 1882.He received the Degree of M.A.by examination from Bishop\u2019s College, Lennoxville, in 1878, and the Honorary Degree of D.C.L., from Trinity University, Toronto, in 1889.On the formation of the Diocese of Algoma, in 1872, Doctor Du Moulin was elected its First Bishop, by the Provincial Synod, but declined the honor.In 1882 he was appointed Rector of St.James\u2019 Cathedral, Toronto, and installed as a Canon of the Cathedral at the same time.As Rector he made the pulpit of St.James\u2019 Cathedral a power, not only in Toronto, but throughout the whole Province of Ontario.His Noon Lenten Sermons daily throughout Lent were masterly efforts, and the large Cathedral was thronged each day with eager listeners.In May, 1896, he was elected Third Bishop of Niagara, and was consecrated on the following 24th of June (the Festival of the Nativity of St.John the Baptist), at St.James\u2019 Cathedral, Toronto, by the Most Reverend J.T.Lewis, Archbishop of Ontario and Metropolitan, assisted by Bishop Sweatman, of Toronto;

nor did the animal stop until it was at the head of the regiment of which, apparently, its master was the commander.The result of the animal\u2019s sagacity in returning to its accustomed place cost the major his life, for he was taken prisoner and hanged.Cl MILLIONAIRE IN A CELLAR.Alvarado, the Mexican millionaire, who began life as a working miner, and hag accumulated in less than a decade a fortune estimated at from £100,000,- 000 to £30,000,000, is probably the lar, in which he spends most of his time.His palace is furnished in execrable fashion, and thousands of canaries fly about the place, The dining- room is decorated with native fixtures built on the general design of Gothic churches.The great oak table is covered with well-worn oilcloth.The chapel is filled with gaudy church fittings ornamented with gold and tinsel.The drawing-room contains a dozen large mirrors, with mantelpieces before each of them, and an enormous quantity of ornate gilt furniture, There is no story in all the annals of mining romance that reads like the rise of Pedro Alvarado.His father owned the mine, and there he spent his youth in penury, daily working, and always animated by the hope that he would strike a rich vein.In 1901 he struck the great bonanza that has made the La Palmilla mine one of the most famous in the world as a producer of gold and silver.His mine is now equipped with electric light and hoistg fed from generators operated by water-power from a neighboring stream.Alvarado is enly thirty-six.Pw Clerks are admissible to the Bank of England between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, and each one on join- THE MINERAL DEVELOPMENT OF NEW ONTARIO\u2014Shaft House and Stamp Mill at Silver Mountain.NA in warfare is of the greatest importance, and he suffers on the battlefield quite as much as man, without man\u2019s hope of honor and fame in victory.The horse is, in many respects, an unusual creature, and nowhere does his unique individuality show itself as clearly as on the battle-field, When horses are hit in battle they stop, tremble in every muscle, and groan deeply, while their eyes show wild astonishment.During the battle of, Waterloo some of the horses, as they lay on the ground, having recovered from the first agony of their wounds, fell to eating the grass about them,thus surrounding themselves with a circle of bare ground, the limited extent of which showed their weakness.Others of these interesting animals were observed quietly grazing in the middle of the field between the two hostile lines, their riders having been shot off their backs, while the balls that flew over their heads and the tumult behind and before and around ane TN ENN Nr THE MINERAL DEVELOPMENT OF NEW ONTARIO\u2014Silver Mountain from the Railway.(Photograph by Story, Port Arthur.)

farm in the County of Glengarry\u2014Fraserfield.This place takes its name from the late Col.Alexander Fraser, who about a hundred years ago was prominent in social and poliical matters in the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengrry.He was a member of the Legislative Assembly and worked hard to advance the general interests of the County.He left two sons and three daughters.The eldest son, Alexander, successfully practised as a barrister at Owen Sound, and Archibald succeeded to the Fraser- fleld estate, and married Miss Scott, a daughter of the late Dr, Scott, of Prescott, and sister of the Hon.K.W.Scott, Secretary of State, Ottawa.One of the daughters of this marriage became the wife of the Hon, D.A.Macdonald, one time Lieut.-Governor of Ontario.Lady Hingston, of Montreal, is their daughter.XR The Largest Barn In Canada.EX RS The farm is now in the hands of Mrs.Mary E.Bowen, daughter of Mr.Chas.Bowen, who purchased the farm of 600 acres from the Fraserfield family.In his hands the dairying capacities were largely developed, and continued to the present day by his daughter.This farm boasts the largest bank barn in Canada.Its construction is of a modern character,and it is fitted with model appliances that would be hard to beat.The floor space covers 215 acres.It is a three-storied structure, built on the cantilever system, with a strong stone foundation.The barn is ingeniously constructed near a slight hill, so that an entrance is obtained for each storey from the ground level.The hay and grains are drawn in through the entrance to the third story.In the second story are eight rows of single stalls for the cows, with 16 stalls to the row, and a driveway round the outside.The manure is into the basement, which is high and roomy enough to allow teams and waggons to enter.Over 2000 loads of manure can be piled in this base- thrown DR.C.F.FRASER, Superintendent of the School for the Blind at Halifax, N.S.PR ment.The manure is used with great success in fertilizing.This being an old farm, is not in the happy state of some of the lands in the West.The writer paid a visit recently to Brandon and was told that the farmers had no use for the manure, and they often found it cheaper to take down their barns and build them in another spot, than to pay for the removal of the manure, The herd of Holstein milking cows, some seventy in number, are a striking sight, and excite the admiration of numerous visitors interested in the agricultural prosperity of Canada.During the summer the cows have an abundance of pasture.In the late fall and winter they are fed with messes of hot bran, which forms an important feature of the feeding.Hay is given once a day, oat straw once, and the third meal consists of corn from the silo, Ventilation, which is so necessary to the health of all animals, whether human beings or the domestic animals in their service, receives the most caraful attention.A spring of splendid waczer lies about 400 feet from the barn, and is piped in to a well, from which it is pumped by a windmill into a zinc-lined tank.This is so covered with hay that it never freezes in the most intense cold.Taken altogether, this farm may be cited as a splendid example of what enthusiasm and attention to detail has done to advance increased interest in the dairying business in this part of Canada, THE HALIFAX SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND.This school, a number of illustrations of which appear on this page, is located in one of the most beautiful portions of Halifax, where the air is always fresh and

employed for getting the logs out of the woods and down the rivers to the saw-mills.The two loads fea- tured are champion loads, the first being composed of the trunks of comparatively gigantic firs, and the second of ordinary-sized cedars.The log jam shown in the central illustration was one of the biggest jams of its kind in the history of lumbering in New Ontario.Thousands of logs were wedged together in an almost mass, and it required not only the employment of scores of men, but the use inextricable of dynamite as well, in order to dislodge them.The lumber business is one of the great industries of Canada, and it is growing to larger proportions every year.In British Columbia especially the output is very large, and, although an export duty now prevents its shipment in mammoth quantities to the United States, still the foreign demand is constantly increasing.thought has been given to the special needs of the School.Provision has been made for the segregation of the sexes

Spring Wraps of Cloth; Flounces, Especially in Narrow Width, Will Have a First Place in Spring Trimmings.to Have Self- CECT TR on the material itself that are resorted to, There are two fashion points which, it appears not improbable, will, with advanced spring styles attain somewhat exaggerated proportions.All coats of sacque order, with the exception of the quite short ones, are cut with much more fulness than has hith- erto been the case, or than has been noticeable among winter models.In the latter the width of the skirt portion only increased from slightly above the waistline, whereas in models designed for spring, the starting point is far higher.Then comes the sleeve question.This, however, is almost settled.The summer months will see the return of the extremely voluminous sleeves, not exactly the \u201cleg-of-mutton,\u201d for few, if any, long sleeves will be seen, but something of very much the same cut, only of elbow length, or else the very wide and short bell-shaped sleeve cut in one with the corsage.BR RB RR Present Type of Dress is Unfavorable to Flounce Trimmings, The type of dress in vogue during the present winter was not favorable to flounce trimmings, which are likewise ill-suited to heavy fabrics.It is probably for both these reasons that they have been, and still are, so little in evidence.It is, however, extremely likely that with spring styles the flounce, especially in narrow width, will occupy an important position among spring trimmings.Many model makers evince UAbat is Going on in the daAdusical TAorId HE Road to Yesterday, a com- C edy-phantasy by Beulah M.Dix and Evelyn G.Sutherland, brought out at the Herald Square Theatre, New York, achieved at once a deserved popularity.The play is original in treatment, with effective incidents and coherent and entertaining story.The heroine is an American girl, Elizabeth Tyrell,who having spent a long and exciting day in sight-seeing in London, falls asleep upon her re- to her temporary home, and dreams of the legends she has heard recounted.The second and third acts show the girl acting out her dream in which she is at first a drudge of three hundred years previous to the date of her falling asleep.In that far-off time she later becomes the central figure in a series of highly melodramatic proceedings, but, although she realizes she is dreaming, she cannot awake, but turn finds herself compelled to go on with MR.RALPH KELLERT, violin virtuoso, who will give a concert in the Karn Hall on Monday, Feb, 11th, Reading a tendency toward the 1830 type of dress; not exactly in its \u201censemble,\u201d but as far as detalls are concerned.Now the quite narrow flounce as trimming for the hem of skirts stands foremost among these, not placed single, but in batches of two or three following immediately upon the other, with no space left between them.The upper edge of the lowest one is simply gathered and corded.The upper flounce alone has a head.It appears that it is upon the round skirt, as well as on the skirt having train effect, that such trimmings will be employed; on toilettes of a more or less dressy order only, however: never on those of a tailor type, RP XR XR Flat Trimmings Alone Admitted For the Tailor Dresses.For the tailor dresses and two-piece suits, flat trimmings alone will be admitted, such as tucks and bands, or again what is known as the flat flounce, which merely consists in a crossing band without the slightest pretensions to fulness, but fixed on the skirt by the upper edge only.This is a trimming of which we have seen a good deal during the winter.It pleases, perhaps, on account of its extreme simplicity; at any rate, we shall find it retained among spring materials, trimmings of a self-order or otherwise, for it is likely that, as has been the case during the present season, it will not infrequently be of a different color or even material to that of the costume to that of the costume it serves to adorn.VANDALIA.the make-believe.Finally, she does awake and all ends well, even to the conventional potential bridegroom.It is quite impossible to convey, in a mere outline such as this, any but the slightest idea of the charm or interest of this ingenious and entertaining play.Minnie Dupree, who is remembered most delightfully by the public as the daughter in \u201cThe Music Master,\u201d plays the role of the girl who dreams, and she shows so much intelligence and charm, that she established herself as a favorite in the role from the very first night.Other members of the cast are obliged to assume dual roles, that is, to take part in the dream goings on, as well as act in that portion of the play which takes place outside of the dream, and most of them are excellent, Helen Ware and Wright Kramer do some exceptionally fine work; in fact, the play is cast with great discrimination as to the especial ability of the players.BR RR .\u201cCaught in the Rain,\u201d now at the Garrick Theatre, New York, serves as a vehicle to show forth William Collier\u2019s peculiar abilities ag an actor, It is the joint work of himself and Grant Stewart,and is of much the same character as the other plays, such as \u201cOn the Quiet,\u201d which have been made to fit Mr.Collier's powers.This play also has a touch of ultra-realism in stage mechanics\u2014very wet rain, at the eng of the second act, which gives it its name, Nanette Comstock makes an engaging sweetheart for Mr.Collier, whose love making is never of the ardent type, and the other players in the company do good work.As Mr, Collier is a New York favorite, it seems likely that this unpretentious light comedy will have a Prosperous season here, \u2019 RR Ée XR Eugene Cowles has signed a contract with Daniel V, Arthur, and will hereafter support Marie Cahill in all her musical comedies, A pew duet for Mr.Cowles and Miss Cahill has been added to the last act of \u201cMarrying Mary,\u201d the piece in which Miss Cahill ig starring this season.\u201cThe Snow Man,\u201d a musical piece by Strange and DeKoven will be brought out at the Lyric Theatre following the engagement of So- thern and Marlowe, RR *R 22 \u201cPoliche,\u201d a new comedy by H., Bataille, describes a certain phase of French social life, the aim of the writer having been apparently to show that the line between the half would be women and the respectable ones, has in some instances been obliterated, and that as a result the middle-class respectability is endangered.The story on which this revelation is hung concerns the misadventure of a lover of middle life, who loves to desperation a flighty maiden, For her sake he BEAUTIFUL PARISIAN MODELS\u2014The Standard, by special arrangement with the celebrated photographer, Henri Manuel, of Paris, is enabled to present, weekly, to its readers, the newest creations in fashion, posed specially by famous Parisian models, Unlike the illustrations in fashion magazines, these reproductions are from life.The above evening gown of white Liberty satin is from the Maison Rouveau, Paris.The bertha, sleeves and skirt trimming are of Brussels lace, headed and overlaid by garlands of pink chiffon roses and leaves.MISS MABEL BARKER, soprano soloist at the Ralph Kellert recital in the Karn Hall on Monday, Feb.11th.emmy casts aside the dignity of years, and capers, but to no end, for the beauty tosses him over, preferring a very fool of a young man who is blessed with good looks, RRBEABIRRRBERRIRRRRAR 2 2 a Pointers for the Gentlemen.# % RRBEBRRRBEBRRRRRRRR Many of the points of finish are more matters of individual taste than of strict fashion, XR ee X% It may be sald that the turned-back cuff and the vertical side pocket are not so much a general fashion as formerly, but not that they are out of fashion, X% *% X% The loose full-length house gowns for lounging purposes apd bath-robes are not influenced by any vagaries of style from year to year, but never before has the variety of materials and colors shown in these garments been greater, X% RE RR Bath shoes are now considered a necessity by the man who omits nothing for his comfort.X% X% *R Looseness of cut characterizes the latest smoking jackets.X% *% *%.The medium-length coat is more worn than that of extreme length, not that the long coat is not worn at all.we ee RR It 1s to be regretted that the turn of fashion\u2019s wheel does not bring the In- verness into favor again as a smart evening model, alse ET Tr ah mamie En ste _ A J dori - EA in Sid M 0 This pleasant and invigorating Wine Tonicds being prescribed by the leading physicians throughout the country to patients suffering from loss of appetite and general debility.A wine glass full before each meal Will soon restore you to vigorous health.FOR SALE BY ALL DRUGGISTS.CE.+ .2>\u2014=#\u2014 CTR gy 0G.ILLUSTRATED SUPPLEMENT VOL.III.No.6.\" MONTREAL, CANADA.SECTION NUMBER TWO The Standard = 171 ST.JAMES STREET.The Work of McGill University Along the Important Lines of Athletic Development THE McGILL SENIOR RUGBY FOOTBALL TEAM\u2014The group includes:\u2014Top row: O.Stitt, F.Quinn, W.F.Steed- man.Second row: F.Patrick, C.Harrington, D.Ross, A.Pare, H.Kennedy, E.M.Benedict, N.Kendall, and T.Graydon (trainer).Third row: C.G.Cox, E.S.Winslow, A.L.Spafford (manager), G.F.Stephens (captain), H.G.Zimmerman, F.Johnson, W.W.G.McLachlan.Ballantyne.This team were winners of the Canadian Intercollegiate Championship last year.They won four of their six scheduled league games, and then in the struggle for Dominion championship honors, were beaten in a great game by the Hamilton Tigers.The cup in front is the Intercollegiate Trophy.Bottom row: A.Reid, H.Raphael, E.C.Hale, and T.B.(Photo by Rice.) T c GILL UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.\u2014Among the students of McGill University there is more or less uncertainty as to who controls University atheletics.Only in the annual election of the President of the Athletic Association, in which the voting is by ballot, do the students seem to have any active voice in the formation of this body.Then, too, to many not actively connected with any of the athletic organizations which form the Mc- Gill University A.A, the Association seems to be more or less a figurehead, existing only in name, These mistaken ideas are chiefly the result of the disinclination of the average student to worry about what does not directly affect him.When anything goes wrong in any of the clubs, he raises a protest against the management, and declares it to be non-re- presentative of the student body, wilfully blind to the fact that he has had as much to say with respect to the per- sonel of the management as any other student in the University.To do away with this general ignorance, the executive of the association MEMBERS OF THE McGILL BASKETBALL TEAM \u2014 This team recently tions; it determines the right of a student to wear the \u201cM\u201d; and recommends the amount of the annual grant to be given to each affiliated club.It is in turn responsible to the Grounds and Athletics Committee of the University, and of which it forms a sub-committee, the other memberg being: C.J.Fleet, Esq., chairman, representing the Board of Governors; Prof, C.H.McLeod, secretary ang representative of the Science Faculty; Dean Walton, representative of the Faculty of Law; Prof.H.M.Tory, representing the Faculty of Arts; Prof.R.F.Rutton, representing the Faculty of Medicine; and Dr.F.W.Harvey, Physical Director.This large committee in general concerns itself with the internal management of the separate clubs only in the matter of finances, and in insisting on the enforcement of the rule that each student engaging in violent athletic contests or competitions shall pass the physical examination.The members of the Athletic Association are now eleven in number, and are representative of the athletic interests of the University.The president is elected by a ballot vote of all the students on the nomination of the Association; while the vice-president and secretary are appointed out of the Association.The other members are the presidents of the affiliated clubs, except in the case of the Cricket Club, in which the president is not an undergraduate.An ex-president who is an undergraduate is also a member.A.Kerr (president), W.O, Briege, P.H.Elliott.now have a very important project in hand, the publication of a McGill Athletic Handbook.Every branch of sport in which McGill students, as such, participate, will be dealt with.The constitutions of the new Inter-University Amateur Athletic Association, of the Intercollegiate Football and Hockey Leagues, of the McGill University A.A.and of each of the ten affiliated clubs, will be printed in full, and ample information will be given regarding the winning of the \u201cM,\u201d the McGill athletic badge of honor.These booklets will be ready for distribution in the course of a few weeks, The McGill Athletic Association is a very active body, meeting regularly once a month, and holding several special meetings besides during the season for the despatch of important business.It discusses all matters connected with University athletics; all the affiliated clubs are responsible to MEMBERS OF THE McGILL HARRIERS\u2019 CLUB\u2014Top row: H.M.Little, A, M.Lindsay, F.Stanton, T.M.Montague, D.Ross, F.Hawkins, S.Vipond, H.B.Whyte, W.A.Kennedy.Bottom row: J.H.Forbes, G.A.McGuire, (Photo by Gordon.) Thus every branch of athletics is represented by a man who has taken an active part in its work, and, in most cases, by one who is prominent for his athletic prowess in that particular direction.The students by classes or by faculties are not very well represented, but this is the misfortune of the class.The class which contains the largest number of athletes will also have the largest representation on the Athletic Association.The Third Year Science students now claim five out of the ten members;

were presented illustrating in a marked degree the beneficent work which the organization had accomplished in 1906.A few features of the report of the Executive Committee are as follows: \u2014 \u201cThe effort to raise a special fund for the establishment of an ambulance for the use of sick and disabled animals was generously responded to by the leading master carters and others, and a thoroughly equipped, modern vehicle is now being operated by the Society.The fact of it having been called out 56 times since it was started 5 months ago shows how much it was needed.\u201cThe Society has procured a further supply of Greener\u2019s patent horse destroyers, and nearly all the police stations in the city are now supplied with them, \u201cThe lethal chamber loaned to the city by the Society for the destruction of small stray animals seized by the police, and which were formerly hanged or shot, continues to give good satisfaction.Our own inspectors also make use of it for painlessly putting out of the way animals belonging to members and others.No charge for services rendered is made to the former, although the cost of the gas,which is paid for by the Society, amounts tu a considerable sum.\u201cThe amendment to the city charter, authorizing the sale instead of destruction of valuable dogs taken by the police for non-payment of taxes, will again be brought before Parliament during the present session, \u201cThe Sister Societies of the Dominion are being consulted as to the advisability of endeavoring to obtain an amendment to the law, with a view to the further protection of insectivorous and song birds, \u201cSatisfactory reports have been received from the various branches of the Society, and this autumn a new one was formed at Fraserville, \u201c2681 cases were handled during the past year, as against 1,879 in 1905.No particularly brutal ones perpetrated in the city were brought to notice, but the Sherbrooke branch reported a horrible crime, viz., the tearing out of a horse\u2019s tongue with a piece of cord.\u201cThe Chief of Police and Chief Detective have been particularly active and courteous in promoting the interests of the Society, and the police in general seem to realize more than ever before that unnecessary cruelty to animals is a grave offence against the law.Many officers and men of the force have rendered valuable aid.\u201d On this page of The Standard illus- A_A trations are given of the ambulance, lethal chamber and horse destroyer mentioned in the above report, and a few tangible evidences are also given of man\u2019s inhumanity to hig best friend among the animal creation.Nt PATENT HORSE DESTROYER\u2014Each city police station has been supplied with one of these by the Society for Prevention of

and recovery of the patients, the skill of the medical and nursing staff\u2014these features have excited the general admiration, Lord Strathcona has also.given worthy expression to another noble thought in connection with the work of the hospital.His Lordship has presented a beautiful nurses\u2019 home to the governors of the institution.This building, which stands in the hospital grounds, embodies every desirable feature of homelikeness, There are, in all, about sixty nurses in the Royal Victoria Hospital, either undergoing training (such training being completed after a course of three years) or employed in responsible positions.They formerly lived in the hospital, their rooms being in the administration building.It was felt that their quarters were rather crowded, for one thing, but, chiefly, that there was no place in the hospital for that proper recreation and social life so neces- sary to a body of hard-working nurses whose hours were irregular, who lost much sleep, whose duties were arduous, and who needed, above all others, a certain time for rest and relaxation.RE RB BR Lord Strathcona\u2019s Generous Offer.Lord Strathcona, of his own volition, at once came
