People who complain of the so- “lied American method of dealing with the rising generation may be in- terested to know that it is the one pursued by the Countess of Minto, .whoso husband is the Governorâ€" General of Canada, says a. writ- K in the New York Times. Time was when it was almost impossible to see the children of a. Governor-General, it he had any, but Lord Minto'a children are always in evidence. They and their parents are the jolliest kind of comrades, and are constantly together. The children share in all the pleasures of their elders, and with the exception of functions of state are present at all social afiairs at Government House. They are pro- minent figures in the private theatri- cals, which are a. favorite form of altertainment under the present re- gime, and the older ones appear with their parents at the theatre, at dating carnivals, and at various other places. 7K- aer+~+nWW «+» v v v' v v V V V " ’ Men’s Fine Vice Kid Lace Douw u; \Jauua whole cut uppers, full back straps.

Lady Minto's public work has not attracted so much attention as that ,of her predecessor, the Countess of Aberdeen, but it is perhaps not less important. She does things in a dificrent way, but she works very nearly as hard and to quite as much purpose. Her chief public interest in Canada has been the Victorian 0r- der of Nurses, and the organization owes much to her untiring exertions. Through her efforts numerous cot- tage hospitals which cannot fail to have an important cflect on immigra- tion have been established in the sparsely settled districts-“ Canada, and she is now engaged in getting the order endowed at an expense of $125,000. For education, particuâ€" larly manual training and domestic science; Lady Minto has also done much, and it is mainly through her efforts that the graves of the Cana- dian soldiers who fell in South Afri- ca are now being located and mark- In :ppearanco Lady Hinto is strik- ingly youthful sad so like her eld- est daughter that they are often taken 101’ one another. She is a tall, slight woman, dresses very ar- tisticauy, and always wears and has flowers about her. Her maimer has a charm which is not easily defined, but which has combined with her rarer and more serious qualities to make her one of the most popular of British Vipg-ngens. no case 0'! me you?! yum. p and un- ey are absolutely 91m essumlng young people, and appear to be quite unconscious that their position in life is any different from that 0! ordinary mortals. Lady Ei- leen, who came out only last winter, and is now eighteen years of age, is immensely popular in Canadian soâ€" ciety, and of Lord Melgund, the eld- est son, who is about twelve, many pretty stories are told. One of these dates back to the great Ottawa fire, when his small lordship attracted much attention by giving his boots to a little fire sufferer who had the misfortune to be without footgear. "I didn’t need them," he explainâ€" ed to the horrified members of his party, from whom he had strayed for a few minutes, “as I am going to drive home, and the other boy hadn’t any.” There is one other son, the Hon. Esmond Elliot, a fascinating little fellow of six or seven, and two daughters, who come between Lord Melgund and Lady Eileen. Lady Ruby is just a. little younger than her eldest sister, and will probably be introduced with her to English soâ€" ciety next year. Lady Violet is a jolly little girl in her earliest teens, who is generally regarded as her father’s favorite. As a housewife Lady Minto can scarcely be said to have any Amerio can characteristics, for she gives careful attention to the prosaic de- tails of housekeeping, and is an ex- cellent manager. :It‘ findiiit'i E 0 s: ‘3’ C 3.906? a shoe others almost 1e kind I \I \ :09 \ 5” AA /\A \.V. \ 81' S 6 \< A . \ , lol- _I\ p \l L > V at? rivers tributary of Chaleur.

Occasionally they have leaping contests, and exhibit their immense silvery brightness, in all its glory, in the sunlight.

To cast the harpoon properly is not quite so easy as it looks. The protessional imparts a quivering kind of motion to it as it leaves his hand, and sinks it into the back of the fish up to the hinge, more than half way up the iron. No one who knows the tarpon will have any doubt as to his attitude henceforth. He intends to fight the fight of his life from that time on. Sometimes, while cruising about Waiting for the big fellows to show themselves, a school of bluefiSh are encountered. As these, though rather dry, are consideredviair eating, it is not unusual for the harpooner to take a shy at one of them. Though they run up into the hundredâ€"weights and are powerful-looking things, afâ€" ter the first flurry they may be hauled to the boatside easily enough. But it is-not so with the tarpon.
