There is, however, a quicker way to get better resuits. This is to take one or two "Fruit-a-tives" tablets at bedtime in addition to the juice of an orange before breakfast the next morning. "Fruit-a-tives" are - the Juices of oranges, apples, figs and prunes, in which the medicinal acfion is many times intensified by the spe- cial way of combining thém. Valu. able tonics are then added.

Your | @xperiences are more than natural and | your feeling more than fancifal. There {are all sorts of creepy things to be | seen, felt, and heard. There are a | thousand secrets corked up in that big brown stone bottle in the park, and a { goodly proportion of them are right under the room. | Sheltered in' this ; many of the things a easual visitor to { the buildings .is not shown; they are { not mentioned in the guide hook, and {not dilated on by the voluble constable { who shows you around on an ordin- | ary visit. If you want to go up in the | "unsurveyed" and "unorganized" ter- | ritory you ean't have any constable a: guide with you. Moreover, you | must go the trip quietly and alone, apartment are | for respassing is prohibited" and it [ig considered saered gresund. e entrance to this unused flat is | throygh a narrow door off the east { third floor. It opens on to a pasggge { way, at the end of which is a rough | wooden bridge over an enormous pipe. | One's confidence is not strengthened { when this bridge trembles underfoot j like the erazy-stairs in a House of Folly, but with the aid of the lantern you sight your way through a great tin-covered sliding door at the further {end of the corridor. { . This door opens easily.' Within there | is nothing but inky blackness, which | your lantern helps little to expel. It looks like a great big room, but a ladder with a broken rung at the far- ther end of the apartment gives an invitation to explore further, It leads {to an opening in the great thick wall, | and another careful climb over creaky #teps takes you up to it. A gentle shove and the door moves aside with a squeak that seems to pro- test against intrusion. You clamor up into the great dome in the centre of the building. In the day time light streams in from the little round windows and the inches in the towers. It is a cold reezy place, suggestive of the inter- jor of an Arctic iceberg. The centre of the floor is raised three or four feet above the ordinary level, apd from this centrepiece comes a pectliar vi- brating sound akin to the whistling of the fall wind through a leafless forest. Peering through the tiny holes in the centre you find you are roosting over the ceiling of the Legislative Chamber. Sixty feet below is a sea of grey hairs and bald heads, whieh the twinkling lights of the huge electrolier show off in all their glory. You dis- cover that the murmurings of the winds and the voices of the legislators in warm debate below are one and the same thing. This takes some of the romance out of it, also some of { the supernatural. If you were to drop { through that ceiling you would land square on the shining fiate of the Hon- orable Member for- But you turn away from the eom- monplace of Parliamentary debate to look for something further new and startling. There is still another lad- der to seale--still another secret and "5 apartment to look into. Listen--there's a roar like a distant | Niagara Falls, coming from the diree- {tion of that tower on the left. Right {alongside of you there is a big gal- | vanized iron pipe big enough to drive | a team of ponies through. From with. in there comes a tapping and rapping ike the rushing of some very lively spirits, There's just one more ladder, and {like Jacob's, it ends somewhere up near the clouds. It takes one up to the tower where the zephyrs blow through on to an electric fan. Here is the origin of the Niagara Falls |chorus. The cold breeze fans on a circular wheel and is whirled down the great tube into the Legislative Chamber far below. Through this is drawn the antidote for the hot air which "springeth up" from behind the desks of the Legislative Chamber. This is the summit of the visitors' climb, and the dissipation of the sup- ernatural element of the great ex- panse under the roof. There are oth. or things secreted in that great attie, but they are all sternly practical. Big trunks full of returns from the magis- trates, of convictions under the Liquor License Act. huge stacks of blue pa- pers and "informations" from Crown Attorneys all over the province. They tell of the crimes and the punishments, of half a century. There are tens of thousands of them stacked up in the east end of the great dusty attie. What tales of murder and expiation at the end of the hangman's rope could these yellow papers unfold! Separated by a thick brick wall from these scenes of things fantastie and afchaic is the exchange. This is-another spot not usually visit -- a -- _-- within vaulls, wheels within wheels-- ali mixed up in that great legislative and administrative. machine in Queen's Park, # Each of the Ministers have private offices, dnd public offices, and: the former are not entered once in a year by anyone except the Minister him- self and the cleaners. They do say that in days of old, when the knights of Opposition were bold, the Ministers of the Crown were obliged to snatch their forty or more "winks at the buildings, between sittings, and bed- rooms were provided within the Legis- lative Building for them. As late as last session Mr. Allan Studholme, the leader of the Labor Party of One, presented a very pertinent reference on this very subject--a reference to wiifeh the : Prime Minigler did not ign to make any w reply. At any rate, the 'Ministers have in own private dining-room at the west end of the building, where they can discuss the weighty afigirs of state and refresh the i man at the same time. Just as radieal Government measures are concocted in this room as in the apartment known as the Cabinet Room. Into the latter the de- putations sometimes do get a peep. But the Ministers' dining-room is the real modern Star Chamber. Sooner would the Jew sit down to a dinner of "unkoshered" meat than would the Ontario Cabinet Ministers sup in their private dining-room with one not of the Eleet! There is also a "private" dining- room for the rank and file of the mem- bers of the House. It is private in name only, for the caterer is quite willing to feed there any and all who have the purchase price of a meal. On the mmin floors of the buildings there are hundreds of little cubb: holes and eormers, which the M P.P. doesn't take his constituent to see, when the later calls to pay his re- aspects. Some of these wouldn't inter- est the constitpent. Others would. The red and gold and tinkling glass of Mr. Speaker's quarters might open his eyes; the luxurious furnishings of some of the subordinate officials' offices might please ar displease him; the tiers and tiers of maps and plans in the Surveyors' Department would be instructive to him, 3 Down in the ement, with its vaulted ceiling, and dark passages, there are further secrets concealed. Locked up in sundry steel vaults are thousands of ballot boxes, which could undoubtedly tell tales. There's much more responsibility on those big base- ment pillars than what lies above them.

PREPARATIONS AT QUEBEC. Notables Coming Who Will Be Guests of the Commission. It is understood that Col, J. Han- bury Willlalg: C.M.G., and Joseph Pope, C. M®G., have been appointed t> make all the necessary arrange- ments for the proper reception and en- tertainment at Quebec of H.R. H. the Prince of Wales and suite, during the Champlain tercentenary, as well as to look after the comfort of the other in- vited guests of the national commis- sion, including -the representatives of France, the United States and the sis- ter colonies of Australia and South Africa. J The French Government has decid- ed to send an official representative to the fetes in accordance with the invitation from the commission, and one is also expected from Brouage, the hirthplaee, of Champlain. The Marquis de Moptealm and the Mar quis Delevis, the closest living con- nections to the former generals, have been invited. It is feared that ill- health may prevent the attendance of th: Marguis de Monteaim but the Marquis DeLevis, is confidentially ex- peeted. Lord Strathcona, Canadian High Commissioner in London, has been in- vited, and an acceptance to the invi- tation sent. him. has been received from Ireland from Mr. George Wolfe, thé nearest living representative of the family of the famous general. Teach Them of Canada. Chatting with Canadians at the opening of the Franco-British exhibi- tion both the Prinee snd Princess of Wales again and again emphasized special interest in Canadian progress, which the prince clearly sees. In promoting colonial interests in England he may find a peculiarly fruitful field of his own, just as the King has done in promoting good re- ¢ lations with foreign lands. The 'prin- cess so fully shares this view that for some time past she has encouraged Mr. Mackinder, director of the Lon- don Bechool of Economics, and other authorities on colonial questions, to come regularly to Marlborough House to talk with the young princes on Canadian and other Empire topics 7il- lustrating talks with maps, photo- graphs, and the prince's own colonial trophies gathe in Canada, Austra- lasia, India, and elsewhere. No one is more Sisanpeinted than the young Prince Edward himself that he will not be allowed to break into his naval school life at Osborne to visit Quebec with his father' Canadian Bread Superior. At the rooms of the Royal Society, London, Prof. T. B.

QUEBEC TERCENTENARY. Will Be a Valuable Object Lesson In| History. | The pageant, which will be a fea- ture of the Quebec tercentenary, will be the first celebration of the sort on the North American continent. From time to time single scenes of past his- tory have been represented: an in- stance of this was the appearance at the Chicage Worlds Fair of 18038 of vessels which were an attempt to se pruduce the flotilla with which Cotam- | sailed to discover the new world. | A pageant, however, in the sense in | which the word recently has come to | be used, is the representation ef a | series of scenes connected with the | history of the actual spot where the | performance takes place. For a pag- | eant\ of this sort indispensable re- quirements are age and a history, and few places in the new world either have any considerable history, or have been the seene of sucesssive events of | importance. Quebec in these respects offers advantages possessed by scarce- ly any other place on the continent. The pageant has sprung into popu- larity in England, and the last two or three years have seen a series of remarkable shows of this sort. Oxford has celebrated the history of a uni- versity whase origin is shrouded in uncertainty, a history which ranges from the scientific speculations of Roger Bacon to the campaigns of King Charles 1., and the origin of Metho- dism. Liverpool has set forth her past, from the grant of her charter by King John to the! commercial triumphs of the nineteenth century Coventry had a pageant in which Lady Godiva duly figured. London is preparing for a pageant which will adequately honor her story from the time when London Bridge was of im- portance as a fortification which kept the sea-rovers from ascending the river 'and penetrating the interior. | Something like a rage for this form of combined amusement and instruction has seized the nation. The Quebec pageant will be a won- derful spectgcular event and a valu- able object lesson in early Canadian history, BISHOP OF WASHINGTON, High Honor Comes to a Canadian Ecclesiastic. Right Rev. Charles Henry Brent, Protestant Episcopal Bishodot the Philippines, who has just offer- ed the see of Washington, one of the chief posts in the church in the Unit ed States, by the Synod of the Dio cese, is a Canadian, and was born at Newcastle, Ontario, April 9, 1862 He is the son of Rev. Canon. Henry Brent and Sophia Frances (Cum- mings) Brent. He was educated * at Newcastle and Toronto and graduated from Trinity University with honors in' classics in 1884. He received the degree of M.A. in 1889. He was or- dained deagon in 1886 and priest in the following year. He was at first curate of St. Pauls Cathedral, Buf- falo; curate at St. John the Evange- list, Boston, and associate rector of St. Btephen's, Boston. Dr. Brent is unmarried. He was elected Bishop of the Philip- pines by the General Convention in the antnmn of 1901 and consecrated Bishop in December of that year At that time he was made a Doctor of Divinity by his Alma Mater, the oe- casion being marked with 'great re- joicing at Trinity. Many Toronton. 1ans will recall the stately functions on this occasion. Bishop Brent is an author of con- siderable note. He was one of the editorial staff of the New York Churchman from 1879 to 1900. He was the W. B. Noble lecturer at Har- vard for 1907 and the author of "With God in the World," "The Consolation of the Cross," "The Splendor of the Human Body," "Adventure for God," "With God in Prayer," and heswas the Paddock lecturer at the General Theological Seminary, New York City, 1904. Bishop Brent has a number of rela- tives in Toronto including Mr. T. H Brent, a brother; Miss Brent, super- intendent of the Sick Children's Hos- pital, and Mr. W. C. Brent, cousins, and Mrs. Willoughby Cummings, who is his aunt, Ten Million Bushe! Elevator. In connection with the proposal of the Canadian Pacific Railway to make Victoria Harbor its chief grain port on the Georgian Bay, it is understood that the Government will dredge the channel and build a wharf capable of accommodating three large steamers, and as there is no rock, the dredging part of the contract will not be by any means difficult. Then at Victoria Harbor the shore plans of the C.P.R are of great magnitude, as the inten- tions of the company at that point provide for an elevator of a capacity of 10,000,000 bushels, the same to be constructed in five units of 2.000,000 bushels per unit. The handling ca- pacity of the proj plant will be about 80,000 bushels per hour, or the exact amount of one train load over the new railway, which the company will have completed to the waters of the Georgian Bay. Imprisonment For Debt. In spite of the reform worked very largely through Charles Dickens' picture in the debtors' prison in "Pickwick Papers' it is said that im- -prisonment for debt is largely on the increase in England. A Parliamentary return just issued shows that last ear 11.986 debtors were imprisoned n England and Wales. In 1905 the number was 11,405, so that there was an iticrease of over 500 last year, al- though the number of complaints was less than in 1906. The House of Cotgmons during the recent session passed a resolution that the power of committing to. prison for nonpayment of debt ought to te restricted, and the "a PACE THIRTEEN. ----r There comes a time to every man When he must say «1 can'c' for *<can,"' On rich foods he must call a halt : That means he should take ABBEY'S SALT. 2 Piece Outing Suits THE perfection of Fit-Reform is clearly demonstrated in the masterly workmanship of these 2 piece Outing Suits.
