The Ottawa papers gave an inter- esting account of the gathering on several days of last week at Ottawa of a dozen or two representatives of iron and steel manufacturing con- cerns from various Canadian, United States, and German cities, ,their ob~ ject being to submit tenders to the directors and engineers of the Inter- national Portland Cement Company, Ltd., for structural metals and ma- ohinery for the big Hull works. According to the “Citizen,” the directors had long day-and-ni-ght sessions with the representatives of the iron and steel manufacturers who tendered for the work of build- ing tho machinery of the new con- cern. “Some idea of the magnitude of the business done may be gained from the fact that during the week over $350,000 worth of contracts have been awarded. The plant is of such a size that no single manufac- turing firm could be relied upon to do all the work of the high standâ€" ard that the directors insist upon and have the plant ready at the re- quired time. Consequently a num- ber of contracts have been let, each- for some special part of the plant." The Hull people have, we are told, the same designers, engineers, and chemists who made so complete an estalbfiishment ‘of th-e National ce- ment mill at Durham, Ont., the Pen- insular mills at Cement City, Mioh., and several others now in successful operation. ‘ A STRONG POINT in favor of this organization lies in the fact that all machinery, the buildings, and the entire plant from the smokestack to the clinker pit is made from special design-s and dc- tailed ‘drawings by a stall‘ of en~ gineers, who have learned the busi- ness by many years of practical ex- perience. V-arious representatives of the ‘large manufacturing firms stated to a “Citizen” reporter that the de- tailed draWin-gs furnished by these engineer-s are easier to interpret and figure upon than any that go into their works, and the machines when built and installed run with less trouble than any others With which they have to deal. They all agree also that the fact that the same engineers who design the plant su- per-intend its operation after con- struction is a very strong assurance of its successful and economical working. - The favorable points of the Ottawa or.I-Iull proposition are that the raw materials are abundant, of ex- ceptional purity, that both lime- stone and clay lie at the very door of the factory, that they have water- power at the very low rate of $15 per horse-power, that they have bot-h water and rail transportation from the Company's oWn docks. Then the Company are not obliged to build a railway or steam power plant, thus enabling them to build a much larger factory with the same amount of capital, and thereby ma- terially increasing the earning power of the plant. It is further to‘be noted that with 'l.‘HEIR OWN BOAT LINE. they can market their cement at all .ports in ‘the Lower Provinces, and through the Ili'dcau Canal can reach all ports surrounding Lake Ontario. Their boats instead of re- turning empty from eastern ports can bring back coal on their return trips. The location as to the mar- kets to be supplied could not be better, as there is no Portland Ce- ment produced in the Lower Pro- vinces, and the bulk of all the ce- ment consumed in Ottawa, Montreal, and the Maritime Provinces ‘is of necessity imported from Germany, Belgium, and the Unit-ed States against a duty of t13c. per barrel. The “Citizen” article notes as a favorable point, that the C.P.R. and the Canada Atlantic railways run right by the doors of the fac- tory, also the water way which gives a. free outlet from the ware- house docks of the Company into the Ottawa river and thence direct to Montreal, Quebec, and the sea board cities. The I-Iull works will, it is claimed, surpass in efIici-ency and equipment any of the plants yet designed by these men, and will supply Cement to Eastern Ontario and the Lower Provinces from its advantageous location, just as the Durham works is well placed to supply the Western Pen i nsul-a. The business ability and scientific skill of the people‘ who have this work in hand point to its success as an important industrial enterprise and promise well, we consider, for its financial success also. ‘mm DISPOSED TO DE FAIR. “And now, Rachel,” the young man said, standing erect before her, "I shall insist upon the return of the diamond ring I gave you." “Certainly, Mr. I-Iigginside,” she re- plied, taking a pasteboard box from the mantel-piece and holding it out to him.

' “mm-brawn“? w , , THE GREAT MEAT PACKER Valuable Lessons From the Life of Gustavus F. Swift. In the career of the late Gustavus F. Swift we have another and a signal proof that there is no lack of opportunities, but only of men who have the intelligence, the cour- age and the persevering energy to improve men, says the Chicago Chronicle. During the first thirty~six years of his life Mr. Swift acqfuired but lit- t7e wealth, but during thuse years he had been laying the foundation, consciously or unconsciously, for his subsequent phenomenal success. I-Ie had been} observing, thinking and accumulating a stock of useful knowledge as well as working. When he came to Chicago in 187-5 there were great packing establish- ments at the stock yards, rich and powerful, and the field seemed to be completely filled. ‘Any many of or- dinary capacity and force Wish little money would not have thought of entering it any more than he Would have thought of manufacturing iron and steel to compete with Carnegie in Pitts-burg. But Mr. Swift saw an opportunity and seized it with- out hesitation. Beginning with a small slaughter house at the stock yards where only a few animals could be handled daily, he developed his business with wonderful rapidity and almost before his great coni- petitors knew What he was doing he was a-blreast of them. That. Was not mere luck. Mr.‘ Swift not only knew the business as it was then done, from buying to marketing, but he had ideas of his own._ I-Ie knew that in the prepar- ing of animals for the market there was a great deal of Waste. It Was part of his plan to save what was then wasted. So successful was he that four years ago he was able to say, “Not a hair of the beef is wasted, and the hogs are all used except the grunt.” A man who could keep at the front-in the matter of by-Iproducts petitor in _ THE MAIN PRODUCT. I-I-e could sell the latter on a very narrow margin and still make good profits. Mr. Swift had other ideas. One of them was that the markets for meats could be supplied far better and more OCL-ZlOll'llCfllly if suitable provisions Were made for preserving the product in transit and storage. He was pro-eminently the man of the refrigerator car and warehouse. As a result of his efforts in this field fresh meats can be carried al- most any distance in any climate and laid dowu in perfect condition where they are wanted. Another fact, and one specially worthy of remark, is that Mr. Swift was not a speculator in any objec- tionable sense of the word. Ile was, indeed, a good judge of market conditions. He could forecast as well as any of them. I-Ic acted with an eye on probable future con-di- tions. So far he was a speculator, as every prudent buyer and seller must be, but he was not a market rigger. I-I-e did not run corners or play any of the speculative games of the Board of Trade. I-Ie achieved his remarkable success in the com- paratively short space of twenty- eight years by-strictly business m-c- thods. He did it by effecting‘ im- portant economics and giving the consuming puibiic better product and service. And he did it in a field which to the ordinary observer seemed fully occupied. IIc supplied a Valuable illustration of the truth that as society is constituted men of brains, energy and persevcrence can always find opportunities to im- prove their fortunes aird benefit their fellow men in so doing. There would be no such oppor- tunities under the artificial social organism for which some people long, and industrial progress would be as dead as it is in India or China. ____._+_-.___ BIRD VENGEANCE. A naturalist recently witnessed an encounter between a large swan and a little brown duck. The duck had apparently insulted the swan by trying to cross its path, for it Was suddenly seized l by the swan and held under the water until he was sure it would be drowned. But at last the swan let it go, and sailed majestically away. The duck, after taking breath, looked round to see where its enemy was, and seeing it not far ofI it rose into the air and deliberately came down, flapping its wings, on the astonished swan’s back. The swan fled in terror, and the duck, apparently satisfied, quiet- ly swam away.

Handle with care,” read the inscription on a huge box dispatched by train from New York to New Orleans. The lightness of the “machinery” arous- ed suspicion, and at a Wayside sta- tion the box was opened. In it _ were found two men, with a week's supply of food. They were taking a cheap trip at freight rates to New Orleans in search of work. Two workmen differed recently, and retired, along with some mat-cs, to have it out in a quiet corner with the fists. One of them, who was getting the worst of it, at last pro- tested that his adversary was not fighting fairly. “Wasn't it to be a fair stand-up fight ‘2" he asked. “Certainly,” said his mates. “Well, then, how can he expect me to knocking me down all the time ?"

Dr. Hammond, one of New York's most foremost physicians, and an active member of the New York Ath- letic Club, was recently interviewed press, and asked his opinion'as to the merits of cycling as exercise. The doctor stated very ‘decidedly that he considered it absolutely the best possible, if taken with discretion. I-Ie of course excluded all persons with very weak hearts, or people of extremely delicate constitutions, but said that nearly every patient go- ing through his hands rode e. bicycle when convalescei'it, and that it was remarkable what progress they made tOWards health. In Canada there has been an un- precedented revival in Wheeling, and it can be traced to no better cause than to the introduction of the ny- gienic Cushion Frame. To use the words of the advertiser, “It is to wheeling What the ‘Pullman’ is t9 railroading,” and these words put the argument in ‘the proverbial nut- shell. It allows the rider 'to hold a uniform position, while the wheels accommodate themselves to the roa'dbe'd. It has made bicycling an absolutely pleasant and healthy form of outing. "MasseyJ'Iarris," "Cleveland," "Branitford" an'd “Per- fect” bicycles halve this cushion frame. ---â€"â€"§â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"- The North German Atlantic liners now carry 1,130 passengers per trip.
