Born In tbe city of Montreal, and having in tbe course of hi* duty a* a permanent officer been stationed In turn at Kingston, Quebec, Ottawa, London and Toronto, Maj.-Oen. H. W. Cotton, Inspector-General of tbe Can- adian Militia, wLoH appointment hat been extended to March next, when be will retire. Is widely known in Canada. He I* one of tbe oldest offi- cers of tbe permanent force, prob- ably tbe very oldest in point of swearing la. Wben, owing to tbe withdrawal of the permanent troops, the duty was forced upon the Cana- dian Government of Organising a cou pie of artillery corps to garrison the fortifications at Quebec and Kingston, Col. Cotton waa a captain in the old Ottawa Garrison Artillery and appli- ed for and was given a commission in the new corps then being raised at Kingston, which subsequently became "A" battery, and eventually was the colonel of the present Royal Cana- dian Horse Artillery. In hl younger day* Gen. Cotton was recognised as one of the best rifle shots in Canada and twice went to Wimbledon a* a member of tbe Can- adian team. He ha* never since fall ed to take an active Interest In rifle shooting and artillery practice. He entered upon hi* first ataff duties In 1882, when be waa appointed to the command of the artillery school con nected with A Battery and wa* ap- pointed asslstan*. Inspector of artil lery. He retained those dual appoint- ments until appointed district officer commanding the old third military district with headquarter* at King- ston. Later be became Inspector of Artillery, commanded military dis- trict No. 4, Ottawa, and wa* Asslst- ant-A4}utant-General for Artillery at headquarters. He has alao been Quar- termaater-General, Master-General of the Ordinance, Officer Commanding Western Ontario Division' with head- qnarters at Toronto. He commanded tbe first Infaitry division at the Que- bec tercenterary review. Apart from a few month*' service during the Fenian raids, Gen. Cotton has not bad a chance in active service. At the time of the Northwest Rebel- lion of 18(5 be wa* commandant of the Citadel at Quebec and though all of the other regulars In his garrison were sent to the front be was ordered to remain at Quebec. At tbe time of the South African war he was again unable to leave for Africa, bis ser vices being needed at Ottawa In con nectlon with the equipment, and de- spatch at (he varlous.contingents. He was represented on the field, however, by his son, who enlisted Into the first Oaaadlan contingent from the Vic- toria Rifles of Montreal, and gave bis life for the Kmplre at Paardeoerg. A man of calm, unruffled disposition, never over exacting, and always anx lous to give full credit to bis svb ordlnate*. Gen. Cotton Is much belov ed In tbe militia, and every officer and man who has served under him will regret bis retirement. Mrs. Cotton, who has always been a prime social favorite, was tbe daughter of the late John Plnder of Montreal. Family Herald and Weekly Star. t Wlreleas Is In Demand.

Fashionable Tailoring Seasonable Goods, first class Workmanship. ALSO- lint of Ready-Made Clolhini; A MOUNTAIN GATEWAY. (By Bliss Carman.) I know a vale where 1 would go one day, Wben June comes back and all tbe world once more. Is glad with summer. Deen with shade It lies, A mighty cleft In the green bosoming bills, A cool, dim gateway to tbe moun- tain's heart. On either side tbe wooded slopes come down. Hemlock and beech and chestnut; here and there Through the deep forest laurel spreads and gleams, Pink-white as Daphne in her loveli- ness That still perfection from tbe world withdrawn, As if tbe wood gods bad arrested there Immortal beauty in her breathless flight. Far overhead against tbe arching blue Grey ledges overhang from dlssy heights. Scarred by a thousand winters and untamed. The road winds in from tbe broad river lands. Luring tbe happy traveler, turn by turn. Up to the lofty mountains of the sky. And where the road runs in the val- ley's foot, Through tbe dark woods the moun- tain stream comes down, Singing and dancing all its youth away Among the boulders and the shallow runs Where sunbeams pierce and mossy tree-trunks hang. Drenched all day long with murmur- ing sound and spray. There, light of bean and foot free, I would go Up to my homo among tbe lasting bills. And In my cabin doorway sit at* down, Companioned in that leafy solitude By tbe wood ghosts of twilight and of peace. And in that sweet seclusion I should bear. Among tbe cool leafed beeches In the dusk, Tbe calm-voiced thrushes at their evening hymn So undlstraugbt, so rapturous, 10 pure. It well might be, In wisdom and in Joy.

Wicksteed, Bachelor of Arts and Science, civil engineer, sailor, woodsman, an4>so forth, is known to tbe mobile fraternity of railway builders as the Pathfinder of tbe Canadian Northern Railway. There's another dlstlnctlo- that takes on fresh Interest from recent events in Montreal Wicksteed is tbe fatber-and-mother of the Mount Royal tunnel. To attribute this monopolistic gender to the chief en- gineer of surveys for Mackensie, Mann and Co. means to lop off a few sprigs of credit that false stories have woven into laurel wreaths for others, says Robson Black In -Toron- to Star Weekly. Some recogalied the tunnel idea as one of Sir Donald Mann's Olympian prophesies; others told bow Col. Davidson, the rajah of realty, bad comprehended the whole business at one swing of his walking stick. And then Sir William Mac- kenzie was supposed to have "seiz- ed" the scheme at one master flash of intuition. Now, the tame fact is that tbe Mount Royal tunnel is doe to a calm, professional baiard of Henry K. Wicksteed, who wasn't sent by anybody to do anything- but did it. He came home to Toron- to and mentioned his plan to the two great chiefs of the C.N.R. It was then that Col. Davidson, head of the land department, took a hand ear for the metropolis and commenc- ed to measure roods and perches for 1 Model City." A conversation with H. K. Wick- steed Is certain to impress one that railroad building is really no more troublesome than soldering a teapot. Probably he does) not intend to con- vey that impression, but of all men he Is the last to base bis personal record on extraordinary talents. So his tongue slips by the coupling pins of Wicksteed-plus and settles more comfortably on the impersonal con- cerns of the railway that employs him. For instance, I questioned him as to some of the problems of the surrey chief. "Yes, there were a few difficulties, but he was blessed with some remarkably-competent di- vision engineers." Was not railway building In the mountains a perplex- ing task? O, not so very! The main thing was "to fellow the rivers." And carrying a transcontinental across the prairies? Well Mr. Wicksteed, afraid of enlarging the character of the |o Which be had conquered so often, tapered it down until one had the impression tbat railway building between Winnipeg and the foothills was not half so hard as clipping jrd lengths at a ribbon counter. Such personal un- obtrnsiveness Is a widely-shared virtue of tbe "out-of-doors" man, and seems a natural distlliant of camp ATM and the common sauce- pan.. , IT. K. Wicksteed is therefore the wrong man to approach for much information of H.K.W. In tbe Cana- dian Northern offices, it is well- known tbat Mackenzie and Mann place tbe highest value on a Wick- steed' opinion. He combines thor- ough ' scientific equipment with mel- lowed, judgment, a "head" for weighing bis engineering p'redilec- tlons on tho same scale aa "fixed charges," thus rendering him a sur- vey financier as well as a skilled pro- fessional. Tbat be has Ingenuity and imagination, two of tbe plastic quali- ties In a man that lift him out of the routine regiment, is shown by innumerable innovations in his sur- vey marches, which previous engin- eering practice has not discovered. Thus on the Sudbury-Port Arthur surveys which covered over four years. Instead of toting In the win- ter supplies for tbe survey parties and placing them in caches at tbe rear of the advancing parties, be changed the custom and had them placed In front, so tbat every day's march through the wilderness brought the men closer to their food bases. "The effect on the morale of the parties was noteworthy." com- ments Mr. Wicksteed. Tamarack I* Passing. The larch, or "tamarack," of east- ern Canada will soon be commercial- ly extinct. Already, according to Dr. Gordon Hewitt, the Dominion entomologist, the large larch saw- fly lias destroyed between nfty and one hundred per rent, of the eastern larch. This Insect pest was intro- duced Into the United States from Europe about 1881, and having few natural enemies In America has spread over the whole eastern half of the continent. It Is doubtful whether It will be brought under control. It is u common superstition among the woodsmen of eastern Canada that many of the "dead" larch trees have come to life again. Tbe trees noticed were not really dead, how- ver, but had appeared BO. because they bad been entirely stripped of their leaves by the larvae of the larcb saw-fly. The tamarack is a valuable tree because of its ability to grow In swamps, and Its wood is blghl* esteemed for fuel, ties, fence posts and construction work generally. A Useful Army.
