the plumbing has all been done according to the most approved sanitary method, and no detail of furnishing has been omitted to make the Home a place of comfort for those unfortunates to whom the hospitals are obliged to refuse admission, The furnishing throughout has been most carefully carried out by the Montreal Ladies\u2019 Sunshine Society.The ladies will make arrangements for periodical visits, which will be paid to the inmates.The Home, when opened, will ac- \" ;

the earth trembles violently; and, like a huge rocket, a volume of boiling water shoots into the air with the boom of a cannon.The sensation is strange and terrible as we watch in fear the convulsive throbs of this great, angry, seething pit that voices the overwhelming power of that all-wise Creator.Amother geyser goes off when the debris lying about it\u2014 mostly alumn\u2014is thrown in.Wells and mud-holes are all over the place; the boiling mud resembles thick porridge simmering on a fire, with a dull \u201cflop, flop, flop,\u201d as the steam escapes from the hideous mass.A few visitors, through getting off the tracks, have had their feet or legs burnt; such wounds will never heal properly.This may appear strange in a place so noted for the healing qualities of its waters; but needless to say, all the water here is not of a healing .nature.Some water is just the reverse; so strong that it will dissolve a zinc bucket in a few hours.\u201cThat is not_ used for bathing purposes.\u201d The water used for bath: ing imparts to the skin a beautiful satiny feeling, and the bather experiences a delicious sense of luxury.It also possesses the virtue of beautifying the complexion, and is therefore much used by ladies.All sorts and conditions of men, women, and children, from every part of the world, are to be found at these fountains of Hy- gela, where rheumatism, gout, skin diseases, neuralgia, sciatica, liver and kidney troubles are quickly cured.These mud springs are of all colors, from a dirty black to a fine, creamy hue.One of them, composed largely of magnesia, furnished the natives with an article of diet during a time of war.Quite near this edible mud, separated by only a few feet, is another spring containing iron ore; but the ore has been reduced to putty by the gases, and, when mixed with oil, makes a perfect paint.Strangest of all, the oil is provided by another mud spring which adjoins it.This paint is used by the Maoris for painting their canoes and carved houses.The volcanic mud has remarkable properties, and is used largely in reducing joints swollen by rheumatism.The patients are rolled in the mud and splashed from head to foot, a sensation not too pleasant, but wonderfully efficacious, RR RR RB Nature Has Been Good to New Zealand.Nature has been prodigal here in her culinary arrangements, for there are boiling poolg at both of the native villages, into which the food is thrown.There is no cutting of wood and lighting of fires; no waiting for the pot to boil.A basket with a string attached is the omly cooking utensil required.To see a row of men and women apparently fishing in a pond of boiling water is an uncanny spectacle, until they draw up the steaming kits of potatoes and go off to their dinner as unconcernedly as if all the world were accustomed to this very novel method of cooking.Life about these pools is attended with no little peril for to fall into one means certain and terrible death, During my stay at Rotorua a little boy perished in this fearful manner, having slipped in while drawing LR a Vo koh ge a Cf RE Hig TE a RET Og EE RACE CR Tl Se ce TD es out the food.The temperat #3 a Tee 5 Ae Lh SRE TE PSE .ue 14 Bs \u201c ME TR SNA e .The temperature of these their seats, the pols representing oe ah Bu IE Sr i oe ou ty PRE Sh Eh xt À se ee ERT 4 JH gut the food.The temperature of those re ee mo 1 pe through a aed Cea RHC LR a a 4 \u2018 PY ins Ria wa Fa Tu Ai sat : pen SRE nn due RS TS ra ua ou al though it may sound, the Maoris them- the action of rowing 5 Bone > the - (hough It may sound, the Maoris them- air.Soon Cie rover are eu time in the hot pools.They sit in them leader, Soon the rowers are in swing enjoying themselves immensely.A few minutes later the canoe gets in- living together.The ancient way to deep water (figuratively), and the of obtaining a wife was to carry her rowers become troubled, their regu- by force or pretended force, larity of action is broken, and the The total population of the Maori \u2014 a Vite ms eo strokes on either side become much race in 1901 was 43,143 persons, in- x + - - = Ac 9° CT fs eT oa deeper and stronger.Rougher water cluding 3,133 half-castes living as sv.ies A h A of TA 4 À A pon?_ , i 3 JP i.A A = Ta\u201d 3 still is soon reached, many of the roW- Maoris The Maori population fell tp ere 0 Fes à ;

but the other comes forward smilingly, and shakes hands, \u201cI get $1000 a day for snow-shovel- ling,\u201d he says, brightly.\u201cOf course, I am very expert, I'm the finest snow- shoveller in the world!\u201d It is your first glimpse of the Drama of the Insane, RB RR RR Not so Grim at A Closer View.A little further on, to the left, you see a small open-air skating rink.There are seven men on it just now, well wrapped up, for it is very cold.All are clever skaters.They whirl round the rink.Then there is a race.It is followed by a show of backward skating.Next a skater gives an exhibition of figure-cutting, while the others gather round to watch.It is all so natural.It surprises you to learn that all the skaters are of more or less unsound mind.But they are harm- THE LATE COLIN SINCLAIR.Mr.Colin Sinclair, who passed away at his home in Carleton Place, Ont.on Feb.15, was the surviving pioneer business man and municipal servant of his town, and a worthy descendant of a pioneer father and mother, who came from Argyle Scotland, in 1822, and took a homestead at what is now known as Scotch Corners, Beckwith Township, near Carleton Place.The deceased citizen served as reeve and deputy when Carleton Place was a village, and also ag a councillor of the town after its incorporation.He always took a lively interest in the civic and business life of the community, in which he was highly esteemed for his honorable and reliable charecter, less, and have the freedom of the grounds during certain hours.By and bye, one of the seven will skate over and talk to you about red-and-gold bank-notes with King Alfred\u2019s name stamped on them.You are nearing the dark building, | and at close view it is not so awesome as you thought at finst.Every window is barred; but there are architectural features which partly compen- EP nurse, a man 0\u2019 pairts, to act as your guide through the establishment, At the end of the corridor is a circular hall, lighted from the roof, and bearing some resemblance in design and coloring to the rotunda of a Moorish palace.As you look round, and as your guide is telling you that the building is about twenty years old, and that those oil paintings on the walls are of benefactons of the institution, a for the next instant, and joins the file, singing in an undertone, XR ORR XR Institution, in the Main, Resembles Ordinary Hospital.All doors are locked.A door is opened for you to pass through, and it is locked again behind you.All stairs and dangerous places are fenced with wire netting to prevent suicidal patients from jumping over.Heating coils are protected with gratings.These, andthe barred windows, are almost the only features which distinguish the institution from an ordinary hospital, or, in parts, a hotel.Female patients are in the right wing, male in the left.Paying or paid-for patients are divided into three classes, the differences being in food and accommodation, and according to the price paid for maintenance.Nearly all of the wards are on the same plan as of that shown in the photograph on this page, the difference of look in the various classes being in furnishing, not construction.The first-class is not one whit removed from first-class hotel style, There is a wide corridor lined with bedrooms in each ward, and with a big sitting-room at one end, or perhaps a recreation or work-room.Your guide takes you through the female wing.Nearly all of the patients are out of their rooms\u2014reading, resting, talking to themselves or .others, pacing the floor, peering out of windows, or shrunk up against a wall, with head in hands.In the first-class ward some of the inmates might be ladies in natural posture in their drawing-room at home.They are dressed in the latest fashion, their conversation and manner are cultured and refined.You feel - x TU 2 4 yA FER.WES RED SR TE GR MT TS WR Shady Vo ¢ Faby © A.à * .i ver NL vo ME M WN ha & NÉ > # ad 87° WT PRE 7 , A [ a La El A DRAMA OF THE INSANE\u2014A group of nurses of the Protestant Hospital for the Insane at Verdun, will have no more of it, sir;
