is not seen in the illustration owing to the dark The Speaker\u2019s chair, which occupies a place in front of the Governor-General\u2019's, may be noticed, however, at the back of the chair occupied by the Clerk of the Senate.In the Senate Chamber all the smart functions connected with the opening and closing of Parliament are held.There was no grandiose city design like that by which Washington has been jacked up in spite of itself to the level of a great capital.The street plan of Ottawa was and is commonplace.It was drawn without imagination to suit the immediate needs of a small provincial town.It took the local authorities a long time to realize that the place was ever going to be anything more.They have not fully assimilated the\u2019 idea yet.But the Parliament Buildings have stood year after year as an example and a stimulus to civic pride, teaching Ottawa to appreciate her possibilities and lifting her eyes above the swirl of sawdust at her feet.XE BR XR Superb Situation Of the Capitol.Crowning the boldest promontory that juts into the river, the great Gothic tower of the Library of Parliament soars like a mountain peak into the sparkling Canadian air.Visible for miles around, it adds at once the touch of human distinction to the natural sublimity of the scene.Like a European cathedral town, the city possessing this treasure is lifted at once above the commonplace.The Library of Parliament is the dominating feature of the great mass of Government Buildings, forming three sides of a quadrangle, with its back to the river and its front on a terraced court facing the city.There would be a fourth side, but business came too near, and a new department block facing the Parliament Buildings, across the avenue bordering the court, was made to conform with the business rather than with the official standards.When you stand on Parliament Hill, you have from several points of view that satisfying impression of completeness that is so rare on our rough-hewn, It is the more exalted chamber of the two Houses of Parliament, bowed and jostled by mean houses that it looks cheap in comparison.The Canadian buildings are so spaced and isolated that they have some of the stateliness of the Capitol at Washington.When the Parliament buildings were designed, practical men at Ottawa thought they were laid out on a scale of wanton extravagance.But now the Government has overflowed its accommodations.It has had to build one new block outside of the original quadrangle, and it is paying so much rent for other quarters that it is preparing to build more.Across the canal is Major Hill Park, and on the other side of that it is proposed to raise a new range of Government buildings that will double the extent and impressiveness of the civic centre, 2e RR wR Ottawa is Primarily A Commercial City.At the foot of Parliament Hill are the locks of the Rideau Canal, which might really be called one of the natural features of the place, since they were there, along with the hills and waterfalls, before there was any Ottawa.It is not often that a canal is one of the attractions of a city.Usually it is a disfigurement, which people who are not tied to it by business try to avoid, as they do the railroads and wharves.But the Rideau\u2019s long flight of stone locks, running up the hill from the river like a giant's stairway, is a decorative feature and a source of endless entertainment.People stand for hours on the bridges above it, or on the masonry copings of the locks, watching the boats lazily climb the stairs, while the skippers\u2019 wives nurse their babies on deck.There is nothing squalid about its surroundings.It lies between two parks, an attraction for each, and a permanent refutation of the theory that business and ugliness must necessarily go together.Unlike Washington, Ottawa is a commercial town, and was a commercial town before it was a capital.This fact has colored its entire outlo~k on It is an imposing structure, and its architectural lines are singularly life.Business has been first, and attractiveness second.The great business of Ottawa is lumber.Fortunately that trade is one of the least repulsive means by which money can be made.The logs shooting the chutes of the Chaudiere at sixty miles an hour and then rounding up like herded cattle into huge bunches covering acres of river, the buzzing sawmills charging the air with the tang of fresh-cut pine, the neatly-stacked piles of clean boards, do not tend, like coal vards and slaughter-houses, to make life unbearable.They are not at all inconsistent with an attractive city.They really add to the interest of living.The chief annoyance is the sawdust, which is all right in its place, in dolls, pincushions, prize-rings, and breakfast food.but all wrong in a river otherwise so perfect for fishing, canoeing, and bathing.The Ottawa people are constantly complaining of the millmen\u2019s habit of throwing sawdust into the river\u2014a practice forbidden by a Dominion law sixteen years old\u2014but they keep on doing it.Still, there has been a marked improvement in this respect since the time when the stream was so choked that its beauty was utterly destroyed, and the builders of the Interprovincial Bridge had to sink a pier through sixty feet of solid sawdust, The people of Ottawa were going ahead, making money, and paying little heed to the suffering beauty of their surroundings, when, ten years ago, Sir Wilfrid Laurier made a speech in which he referred to the Dominion capital as the future \u201cWashington of the North.\u201d The name stuck, the Ottawans liked it, and they began to look about to see how they could live up to it.All the attractions they had at that time they owed to nature and the General Government.But what the Government had done had been entirely in the line of supplying its own needs, and not with any conscious purpose of beautifying Ottawa; for Ottawa, again unlike Washington, was not under national control, but was simply a city of the Province of Ontario, with its own Mayor and Council, like any other.A AAA mea THE IMPROVEMENT AND

and imagine this said in a petulant tone of vaice, and it will recall to you how often it is \u2018said.As a matter of fact, like most figures of speech, it is quite untrue.You can think of twenty things at once, and it is because of that, by no means an achievement to be proud of, so many men fal in life, so many men stop short of reacping the summit.Any fool can think of twenty things at once; the lunatic asylums are full of people who think of twenty things at once.A wise man, a man with his brain under perfect control, is he who thinks of one thing at a time and keeps all subjects foreign to that at hand locked up in little drawers in his brain.Faced with the business necessity of cutting down expenses, B does not permit his mind to wander off into sentimental side issues as A does.He realizes at once, for instance, that he can save money by going into far cheaper offices, and there the matter ends.In cutting off his East Liberty branch he does not waste time in wondering how Smith, his East Liberty manager, will feel about it.The branch has been a failure.It must go.And B.'s aggregate saving of time in this and similar business matters, as compared with A\u2019s loss of time, must represent an important factor in the struggle for such success as both are striving after.RR R% Cot It is Quite Possible to Focus the Mind.It is not difficult to understand why a man who has a dozen different interests and very few of us have less, cannot readily focus his mind upon one of those subjects to the exclusion of all the rest, but he will do it the more readily if he adopts a system which the writer (an English journalist) found to work excellently.Let him liken his mind to a camera primed ready for use; he has fixed his plate, and has decided on what picture or image he intends operating.He will know that it is impossible for him to take two aspects of one picture at once; he has one plate for one object, and if he says to himself, \u201cI intend taking this picture,\u201d or, in other words, \u201cI intend dealing solely with this subject under review, other,\u201d and no and he takes hold of his wandering fancy and steadfastly points all his thought.the whole of his mind, the whole of his imagination towards that one subject, he will have mastered the first principle of concentration.Suppose you have a card with a hundred different pictures of the size of a dime.Take another card perfectly blank of the same size, with one hole the size of one of the pictures;

membership of about one million, the men under thirty-four years of age receive sick pay for less than six days a year.But in the British Army at home, the average number of sick days for each soldier

from a ship in mid-ocean can and does collect shells by the thousand at every dip of his net or bucket, Swimming shell-fish are mostly confined to tropical seas.The most familiar is the nautilus, which is, however, not truly a shell-fish at all, but a near relation of the cuttle fish.Also it is | only seen on the surface at a certain | time of the year.The real ocean shell- - fish are mostly very small.In the Indian Ocean they may be seen by millions.One which bears the appalling name of \u201cCavolinia trispinosa\u201d has the odd peculiarity of coming to the surface at six sharp every evening.An- sther, the Cleodora tridentata, rises at seven.Frail as these tiny shell-fish are, no storm ever injures them.They all possess the peculiar power of being able at will to sink a few feet below the surface of the sea, and there they remain when gales blow, perfectly safe, and rise again when the weather improves.The largest of these ocean swimmers are about three inches in length.Almost all are most brilliant in color, and their shells far frailer and more glossy than those found upon the sea beach.Pw Wa BERLIN'S FAMOUS STATUE.A curious statue of Roland, one of the famous paladins of Charlemagne, around whom so many legends have gathered, may be seen in Berlin.The statue, which is of great age, has every mark of archaic style about it.The legs are stiff, and the arms curiously thin.The eyes, however, have a very penetrating look, which was not given to the statue by chance, but was intentionally devised by the ancient sculptor in order that the statue might be able to carry out its functions as guardian of the city by night as well as by day.These great owl-like eyes were a terror to criminals.At one time it was the custom to drag the accused before the statue, in order to see whether they blanched or showed signs of fear under the stony gaze of Roland.The statue shows Roland bearing his famous sword, Durandel, which he had ESF Za TVR Tg * ot > 1 1

~\u2014.The Right Rev.Mgr.McCarthy, who will be consecrated Archbishop of Canada.~~ RCHBISHOP .Mc C A R- THY OF HALIFAX.\u2014 Rev.E.J.McCarthy, LL.D., who will be consecrated Archbishop of Halifax, N.S., on Sept.9th, is an earnest, energetic, and genial priest, still in the prime of life.He was born in Halifax, where his mother kept a shop.His father died when he was a small boy.He received his early education at the public schools and St.Mary\u2019s College, Ilalifax, and later on took a course at Laval University.Ile was ordained to the priesthood at St.Mary\u2019s Cathedral, Halifax, by the late Archbishop Connolly, in 1876, the last ordination service performed by that distinguished prelate, who died only a few days later.The young priest was appointed to the pretty little parish of Kentville, the shire town of King\u2019s County, and headquarters of the Windsor and Annapolis Railway (now the Dominion Atlantic), and at once attracted attention by his earnest and thoughtful sermons, his amiable disposition and devotion to his work.He was next appointed to Chester, at that time the chief summer resort of Nova Scotia, a place much frequented by wealthy Baltimoreans.His first great sue- cess as a parish priest, however, was at his third parish, Yarmouth.This was one of the most progressive and prosperous towns in the Lower Provinces; but his immedi- ate parishioners were chiefly poor people.The church was a little old wooden building in the poorest quarter of the town.Like the church famed by \u2018Father Phill\u2019s Collection,\u2019 there were \u2018\u2018leaks in the thatch,\u201d\u2019 and the rain reminded the parishioners of the condition of the House of God.The out- rather cheerless, but Father McCarthy \u2018\u2018seen his duty, and done it.\u201d He decided that his little flock must have a new chureh, and one creditable to the community.The task seemed impossible of achievement, but he stuck to it, and a few years later the new St.Ambrose was an accomplished fact.A handsome new brick and stone building, such as would be no discredit to any city in Canada, was the result of his indefaticable work.It was a distinct tribute to the esteem in which he was held by people of all denominations, for he was most gen- Halifax on Sept.9 by His Excellency Mgr.Sbaretti, Papal Delegate to erously assisted by hundreds of personal friends of other faiths.He followed this by building a fine presbytery.The church could not afford to leave such a man in what, after all, still only ranked as a country parish.He was relue- tantly compelled to give up the pleasant associations of his many years 1n Yarmouth, because he was needed in Halifax.There he was appointed to St.Patricks, and again he replaced an old wooden strueture with a handsome brick and stone edifice, and brought the parish work up to a high state of efficiency.Then he was appointed to the rectorship of St.Mary's Cathedral, the chief Roman Catholic Church of the Maritime Pro- vinees.After he went to Ialifax.the degree of LL.D.was conferred upon him by St.Francis Xavier College.Rev.Dr.McCarthy is eminently qualified for the position to which he has been called.He is an eloquent and forcible speaker, with marked administrative ability, a devout Catholie, and yet one whose tolerance and fair-mindedness will always ensure a continuance of the friendly relations which happily have existed among.all denominations in Nova Scotia for the past half-century.Dr.McCarthy was administrator of the archdiocese of Halifax after the death of Archbishop O\u2019Brien.#2 du WHAT THE WORLD OWES TO RELIGION.Did you ever sit down quietly and give a good, long thought to what the world owes to religion?Most of us couple religion with the concerns of a world in the dim future, very distant and somewhat uncertain.Few of us think of what we owe to religion in the present day, and that is no more than every generation of men under all skies and in all lands in their everyday life have owed to religion.Those of us who do couple religion with real life look at it purely from its influence upon the morals, or upon the performance of what we conceive to be our duty in relation to a Supreme Being.But no matter how far back we go, real religion has been a practical, potent factor in all the affairs of the everyday life of men.mt ar.lt Ÿ * The Grand

SHORE DISAPPEARS, ITHIN the past few years UCI great changes have been taking place in connee- tion with the shore-line of the Canadian Provinces along the At- lantie Coast.Large sections of the shore, especially on the coast of Northumberland Straits, are gradually disappearing.Outside of Pictou Lighthouse, tracts of sand, some of them upwards of one hundred yards in length, have gone within the past five vears.In parts of the coast, along the County of Yarmouth, something of the same nature is said to be taking place.Recently much excitement has been aroused concerning the desperate state of certain parts of the English coast owing to erosion, and this has caused the Paris papers to fear for the safety of Mont Saint-Michel, that Norman shrine of pilgrims and tourists\u2014the centre of mediaeval tragedy and ro- mance\u2014which peers across the English Channel toward the Cornish coast.It is not generally appreciated that after submergence under the ice of the glacial period, England was not an island, but formed portion of a large plateau extending out to what is now the 100-fathom line.Since this period the sea has carved its way through the Channel until England presents its existing appearance.The North Sea is merely a plain covered by shallow water, from which the remains of mammoths and other animals are recovered by trawlers.Beyond the 100-fathom line, ocean depths are rapidly reached.The cause of the erosion at Mont Saint-Michel is said to be the causeway built twenty years ago to connect the island rock with ~~ the mainland.It stops the flow of fiding, and hospitable; Poularde\u2019s restaurant was one of the best and cheapest in France.It was a privilege to know madame the hostess, and to be allowed to wateh her make an omelet in a gargantuan saucepan over an immense wood fire in her tiny kitchen.Her visitors\u2019 book then was filled with well-known names, sketches by famous artists, and eulogistie verse by real poets.The only

retired shipmasters were talking in a Bangor ship chandlery the other days about peculiar disasters at sea, and one of them recalled the mysterious wrecking years ago of a little schooner called the Active down in Eggemoggan Reach, eastern coast waters of Maine.It was in the fall of the year, and the Active was going through a rather narrow channel between A Charming Vista on the Nova Scotia Coast, showing one of the most famous of the many lighthouses which dot the shore-line.the tide, which comes racing into the Bay of Cancale as fast as a horse can trot.The flood, instead of passing freely around the island, spends its curbed force in a work of destruction.The King\u2019s Tower, the bastion which comes down to the seat at the head of the causeway, is already undermined and doomed.This causeway was never really a ~ sea this time, but from the land.It has been found that the immense sandy foreshore of Cancale Bay, reclaimed from the sea and fertilized with seaweed, grows excellent vegetables, which are ready for the London market even before the produce of Jersey, and the \u2018\u201c\u201c\u2018polders\u2019\u2019 of the thrifty Norman gardeners are every year narrowing the space between Mont Saint Hotel and Summer Residence, Mark Land, Yarmouth, N.S, necessary : nobody ever got caught in the quicksands crossing to the island unless they wandered foolhardily away from the track; and it has taken away half the charm of Mont Saint-Michel.Not only is the island no longer an island, but it has ben vulgarized, turned into\u201d the commonest of objects of a day\u2019s excursion.Drags and automobiles cumber the causeway, and eating-house keepers\u2019 touts badger one with loud-voiced recommendations of their masters\u2019 fare.In the old days Mont Saint- Michel was unsophisticated, con- Michel and the mainland, threatening in time to change its present setting of yellow sand and blue into a green girdle of vegetables.ln + JEWELS.The

right, the boy steering and his father below taking a nap, as it afterward turned out.Next day the Active was found on the rocks, with her stern stove in, the master drowned in his bunk and the boy dead at the wheel with a bullet hole in his head.This discovery caused a great sensation, and, as there appeared to be no motive for anyone to murder the boy, and as it was known that the shot must have been.fired by a third person, the whole affair was a mystery, and remained thus for years, when a man living in another State confessed on his deathbed that it was he who fired the shot that killed the helmsman of the Active.RR XR Horrified to See the Boy Drop to the Deck.The man said that he had fired at a hawk, which was circling low, and did not see the schooner,which suddenly came into range, owing to an intervening clump of bushes.Then he was horrified to see the boy at the schooner\u2019s wheel throw up his hands and fall to the deck, while the schooner broached to and was driven ashore by the wind and tide.The gunner, who was after gulls and ducks, fled without waiting to investigate the result of his unfortunate shot, fearing that if he reported the matter to the authorities he might, although innocent of any criminal intent, be imprisoned.There are on record instances of vesels having been wrecked or run down by reason of their helmsmen being asleep or insane, and one Maine schooner was cut down by a steamer because the man at the wheel was deaf and could not hear the steamer\u2019s whistle signals.The Rockport brig Marie W.Norwood had a narrow escape from collision some years ago off the coast of Georgia under strange cireum- stances.The brig was running along under easy sail one moonlight night, and a steamer was coming up astern.When the steamer got too close for comfort a torch was burned over the brig\u2019s stern, but the man at the steamer\u2019s wheel paid no attention to it, holding to his course, which would take him right through the brig.Finally a great shouting by the brig\u2019s people, and the firing of a gun, awoke the steamer\u2019s wheel- man, and he put her helm hard down just in time to escape a erash.*% RB Most of the Crew Were Down With the Fever.RS When the steamer had come close up, it was observed that the man steering was hanging over the wheel as though half asleep.When asked why he did not keep off, he growled: \u2018\u201c\u201cWhat do you want?All the room there is?Here you\u2019ve been yawing all around for an hour, and me trying to dodge you!\u201d Then the brig\u2019s people knew that he had been asleep.It was found that the wheelman was not the only man asleep on that steamer.Most of her people had been taken down with the fever, and the others, from standing double watches, had become worn out from loss of sleep.Old sailors say that the collision between the schooner Hannah F.Carleton and one of the Boston and Savannah steamers off Cape Cod was the strangest disaster of the kind that ever happened, and they doubt if such another ever will occur.The Carleton, a two-masted schooner of 189 tons, then hailing from Jonesport, Me., was passing in by Cape Cod on a clear moonlight night, coal laden, for Boston, and Captain Falkingham was on the quarterdeck.A steamer was observed coming up astern, but no attention was paid to her at first, everything being clear for miles around.Captain Falking- ham looked astern every little while, and presently became nervous, for the steamer was coming right for the schooner and, without altering her course, would hit the Carleton fair in the stern in a few minutes.RR RR Struck the Schooner\u2019s Main Boom on the End.RP When the steamer got up a little closer, Captain Falkinghom began to shout to her people, telling them to keep away.The men on Willow Street, Yarmouth, N.S., one of the prettiest streets in the town.ANA see the steamer\u2019s pilot house were plainly visible, as was also the bow lookout, but they seemed not to see the schooner.Captain Falkingham\u2019s shouting awoke all hands on the schooner, and the men came tumbling on the deck.They all joined in the shouting, but to no purpose.The steamer came on like a racehorse and struck the schooner\u2019s main boom fairly on the end, snapping the mainmast off like a pipestem, even with the jaws of the boom, and letting it down with a fearful thump on the deck.The stump of the mast stove a hole in the deck, and there the stick rested, swinging back and forth and threatening to fall at any minute, as the rigging was made slack.The steamer came close up, after backing away, and asked if assistance was wanted, and Captain Falkingham said he would like to be towed into Boston, which was done.The steamer\u2019s owners paid for the damage, and at Boston the Carleton got a new mainmast and main boom, and had the hole in her deck patched.Had the steamer struck her in any other place, the schooner would have gone down like a shot.\u201c\u2018Couldn\u2019t be done again in a million years,\u201d\u2019 declared the old salts.Some amusing stories are told of the old and roly-poly steamer, Charles Houghton, that used to run in Maine waters.One trip, coming from Portland to Bangor, the Houghton became lost in the fog, and her master was trying to feel his way into Boothbay Harbor.After floundering around for hours and tooting the whistle until everybody had the earache people in the steamer\u2019s pilot house caught the sound of voices, and stopped to listen.Presently out of the fog loomed a big lobster boat, and the master of the steamer hailed the fisherman.\u201cAhoy, the boat! Can you give me the course into Boothbay ?\u2019\u2019 A loud guffaw was the only response, and the fisherman fairly roared with merriment, while the master of the steamer, mad all through,swore large oaths at them and asked ii they were all crazy.\u201cNo, we ain\u2019t crazy, cap\u2019n,\u2019\u2019 responded the lobsterman, \u2018\u2018but we just had to laugh.\u201d \u201c\u201c Well, how about the course into Boothbay2\u201d\u201d demanded the Captain.The master of the smack quieted another burst of laughter, and replied, with aggravating deliberation : \u201cWa\u2019ll, yew jest turn them » wheels of you\u2019re steamer over oncet or twicet agin and you\u2019ll hit the wharft to Boothbay.You're most there now!\u201d\u2019 It was a fact that Charles Houghton had blundered into Boothbay without the people aboard knowing where they were.The late Most Rev.Mgr.O\u2019Brien, D.D., Ph.D., whom Mgr.McCarthy has succeeded as Archbishop of Halifax."]
