Great mountains rear their summits to the clouds in the distance and 15 miles to the south you see the island of Arran,. 20 miles long by 10 broad. _ The Goatfell mountain, 3000 feet above the sea can be easily seen here. We are now in the mouth of Loch Fyne, on the left of us on a clear day the coast of Ayrshire can be seen. We turn northward up Loch?Fyne and pass on our right a few small places nestling : amongst mountains, and the scenery is grand. Now we come to Gourock, where is the fine and famous Caledonian pier which moves with the tide. _ Here also you can get a boat for almost anyâ€" where. We pass in succession the Kirn, Dunoon, Innellan. Cragmore and come to Rothesay, the chief ;I)Iace on the isâ€" land of Bute. The castle here was the Royal residence of Robert II and of his We come at last to Inverary with its castle situated in a very pretty glen surrounded by mountains. The little old town is very odd, the buildings are It is here the tomist generally meets the steamer, coming from Glasgow by train, the Clyde hbeing sometimes offenâ€" sive as all the filth of the city gets into it, Looking across you see Rodneath castle. one of the seats of the Duke of Argyle, he generally stops here it being more _ pleasant â€" than _ at Inverary. Greenock has a populationr of 70,000. Now. just think, you see shipbuilding in progress from Glasgow to here 20 miles! Vessel after vessel on the stocks, at various stages of adyvancement, and getting ready for most countries of the world. The steamer calls next at Bowling where are many vessels, In sight is an old ruined castle, the seat of the Colquâ€" houns, Now before us is Dumbarton castle ; the thistle still grows wild on Dumbarton Rock, there are still:cannon looking over the Clyde, and soldiers kept here too, kut most of the ancient things have been removed to ather places. â€"It is here the Leven river fows into the Clyde from Loch Lomond, on a clear day Ben Lomond, about 16 miles away can be seen. _ A mile below ihis you can see the farm, known as Castle Hill, residence of Robert the BHruce, Here he died 1329, On the left the old castle, Newark, and then Port Glasâ€" gow. The Clyde was deepened from here to Glasgow by the merchants. Now comes Greenoch on our left and looking across you can see Helensburg. Here is the "tail of the bank" where many a sore parting has taken place, and where many have parted never to meet on earth again. ~You can take a borat here for any place you wish to go. We take the steamer "Lord of the Isales," and leave about 8 x. m. and in 15 minutes are at Partick, at the mouth of the Kelvin, made famous by the beautiful song, "Kelyin Grove." â€" Here we take passenâ€" gers from Govan on our left and others from the west end of Glasgow. After passing Sheuld Hall we come to Rehâ€" frew, the oldest Burgh town of Séotâ€" land, which had the honor of giving a title to the King when Prince of Wales,. You can see Lord Blitheswood‘s manâ€" sion in the midst of a fine park. â€" Three miles from here is the old town of Paisâ€" ley, with a population of 70,000. Its old abbey dates back to the year 1260. Large manufactures of every kind exist, but thread is the chief article Coates‘ mill alone has 700 girl clerks, 6000 makâ€" ing thread. This firm has been generâ€" ous to Paisley. â€" They gave to the town a museum, readingâ€"room, and. library, costing £50,000, all free for the use of the people. _ Aanother brother gave: x public park at a cost of £30,000,~ Then a memotial chatch hbas been built at a | cost of £10,000. ‘Lhey study the materiâ€" J al welfare of their. workpeople too,. andâ€" encourage them to saye out of their. earnings. . For every pound the girl saves, the firm doubles it, till it gets toâ€" £20, but they imnust not break it ,after they commence or they lose the gift. This is :o help them \Jben they take up house. There are séveral fothers: that have done a great. dealt for the town, which has been benetfitted in thig way: more than any other town in Scotland. But this country is full of this, everyâ€" where you go you will find monnu:ments erected. OQOnly a short distance from here is the spot where Sir Wim Wallace was born, the valley of Ellerslie; the large tree is down which used to tell the spot. Now Glasgow is a wonderful place, made so largely by the pluck and enep. gy of the people. One hundred years azo the Clyde was only a small rivul« %. and Glasgow of no great prominence as a commercial port, it being reckoned inland and ships for many years had to stop at Greenock. Ail this is changed Glargow is now the second city in the empire, with s harbor 3 miles long. in which can be seen ships from every quarter of the globe, The Princess doeks cover % acres, has 28 feet of water, with slips 880 feet tlong and 83 feet wide, allowing each hoat into its own dock. Dear Mr. Ramage, A few lines more. We are in the Highlands at present and all well. A few words about our starting point and the trip. Among Historical Scenes.â€"The Ho of the MacFarlane Jlan. â€"Memen toes of Wallace and Bruce. The donnig Bonks 0‘ Lock Lomont unoon, Aug. 30, 1902 â€"The Home We next conclude to make a descent and visit the cave, so that shades of evening may not be upon us before our visit is completed. Down, down, we go until we find ourselves climbing and secrambling one abreast in our narâ€" row unkempt pathway about 18 inches wide and rosks perpendicularly on each side of us about 100 feet aboye This narrow track leading to the cave was never eut out by the hands of man but to be in harmony with its surâ€" roundings is better than if it had been. It must have been caused by the action of the water at some earlier period ot world‘s history and whose unfinished task is apparently not yet completed. At last we arrive at the cave down inâ€" to which for many centuries the joyous and happy rays of the sun have neyer penetrated. We enter it by a manâ€" hole near the bottom, the only place where entrance can be made. It is as round as a limeâ€"kilm and about 12 or 15 feet in diameter. It certainly is a marvel of curosity as well as the road leading to it, in both of which a gloom revails, as if the golden day itselt Kad been extinguished, and the rays of the great luminary of night had never entered. The walls have a fairly smooth surface on which are placed numerous names with dates attached and other inseriptions of various kinds so that judging from the dates, the cave must for many.years have been a favored spot. All this within a little over an hour‘s drive from the town and yet how few of our citizens have vyisited this famous place of resort, outside of the induceâ€" ment of having a good day‘s fishing on the Rocky. This riyer is properly named for eyen further east its banks are rugged and present a majestically grand appearance. We never went further east than a mile beyond the falls but intend to do so in the near future. While our citizens in the main ad:« | turer of goods containing 90 per mittedly have a taste for what is beauâ€" | shoddy would tag them as all tiful in nature, yet it must beconceded i This difficulty may arise, but â€"The buanks of this river are celebratâ€" ed tor the numerous springs of sparkâ€" ling water, clear as crystal and cold as ice. At one place two springs in close prokimity keep bubbling up as if they aimed at being companions. What a feast to stand and look on and listen to the music of that warring cataract, un saddled, unbridled and unharnessed in its wild. natural and rugged state at the entrance to the woods where all is calm, tranquil and peacoful save the roar of the waters in their mighty tall to the rocks beneath. _A roughly constructed bridge now lseads to the north side of the river and after standâ€" ing on a rough elevated ledge of rock supported by the firm grasp of a little tree growing up between the ledges of the rock, we gaze down on that wonâ€" derful abyss beneath from our lofty rocky elevation of about 100 feet above the seething waters and yet the banks of this rocky elevation are niccely frinâ€" ged with a green shrubbery and small trees as it to lend enchantment to the scene. While this is a fine country there are some bad laws in it. To think of a man holding an estate and not allowing anyone to come into it except those he wishes, For instance at a place away up in the Highlands they just charge anything they like from tie people and if they say anything. they are told to go to Glasgow, so you see the Duke has full power to do what he likes. There was one wharf before we got on the steamer that charged us tuppence, the Duke‘s orders, so the sniJ.) and just think they may buy lfie land but they have feu duty ‘to pay eyery year, so it becomes a héeavy tax on the purchaser, wef Goodâ€"by to all, y Yours truly, Loch. We take the steamer here and go down the Loch which gradually widens and is full of little islinds. On these are many beautiful résidences built by Glasgow merchants. We come Bolach, take rail to Urmigendatan and reach Clyde next to Elvingburg, Beâ€" tween Bolach and the Clyde are many manufacturing > establishments. We fiet another steamer here and return to unoon, This trip is the finest we haye made. Well might they call it "The Bonnie Banks 0‘ Loch Lomond". We counld see both "high road" and v~Jow road". and the more you see of Highland scenery, you can‘t help but think more of it and call it with more feeling than ever "Bonnie Scotland," which shoul® be dear to all its sons. the wacer. ‘We reach Arrochar, one of the most benutiful spots we harve seen, and at the head of this Loch Louyg, cross 1$ miles to Tarbet on and near the head of Loch Lomond. â€" This was the home otf ‘the ~MacFarlane clan atround the narrow nortb end of the The next day we took the boat for Arrochar, Loch Long and Loch Lom, ond. _ We pass Ladybank and then Kilmun. _ At the last mentioned the Argyle family bhave their last resting pluce. We come tuo places where you would think we could not get draught enough and one could almost jump to the rock. Heretou are many romantic spots on !h((‘_l.'t_* and fishing smacks on We now return down the Loch, someâ€" lunes narow, sometimes wide. We get back at 8 p. m. haying travelled 220 wmiles for $« 6 d, A vast amouunt of travel takes place here, the whart master at Dunoon told me that 106 steamers >+topped every 12 hours and this is only a part for the Ayrshire coast is just the same. all old, haying sinall windows, The old church is 5ust a «quare block. the muniâ€" ecipal building is very old fashioned, you would think it is xn place that bas risen out of the sea.

Durham as a Pleasure Resort. Continued from page i. J NCR R, MacFarlane Sr. THE uunrHAM REVIEW When margarine was sold as butter a great hue and cry was raised, and rightly so, because the fat of an ox was being sold as the product of the cow, and now, forsooth, because a simple imicroscopic examination (as is the case with margarine) will not disclose the fraud, we are told in this article that no attempt must be made to protect the public and ensure their being able to purchase a pure woollen garment. Difficulties were made to be eyercome, and we should not be content to sit down and take it as an accepted fact that there is no solution of this problem. Another difficulty that the writers see is that honest manufacturers of goods containing 90 per cent of wool would tag them as mixed or shoddy goods, whilst the dishonest manufacâ€" turer of goods containing 90 per cent of shoddy would tag them as all wool. The article in question contends that vhe manuftactured goods thus placed under a ban wauld approach in value $850,000,000 and by labelling them they would be cast under suspicion regardless of merit. This, I ta{c)c it, could be minimised to a great extent by postponing the Bill coming into operation until a year or so had elavnsâ€" ed from its becoming law. The next objection has reference to the enaetment that all goods manufacâ€" tured prior to the passage of this Act, and which had passed out of the hands of the manufacturer and the ingrediâ€" ents of which are not known, shall be labelled ‘* Manufactured prior to the Pure Fibre Act; composition not known. It is stated that the Custom House officials can distinguish cotton, linen, silk, and certain other fibres from wool and woollen shoddy ; but they will be forced either to refuse admisâ€" sion to the goods or accept the stateâ€" ment of the importer as to how much wool shoddy there is in the cloth. The objections to the proposed Goyâ€" ernment Bill are rather strongly put by the Textile World,. a paper judgâ€" ing from its name, which has its symâ€" pathies mainly with the manufacturâ€" ers. They state that if the Bill becomes law no fabric containing the slightest proportion of wool will come into the Ifnited States, for there is no method known to man of determining how much of the wool in a fabric has been and how much has not been, subjected to a manufacturing process before it reached the mill where it was last converted into cloth. This, I am informed, is incorrect. The Bradâ€" ford Conditioning House can determine what any fabric is made of by actual percentages. | OBJEGTIONS T0 LEGISLATION FOR PROTEGIION ~OF WOOL CROWrRS. By Alfred Mansell, Sh rewsbury, Eng If any one is possessed of sceptical ideas regarding the effects of tree planting on the streets, let him take a walk on either side of the road, from the residence ot Mr. John Cameron to the northern limits of the corporation, and he will be convinced that it is no idle talk, but a general and rousing improvement that is aimed at, and that. of all the auxilary work that could be done, and so easy of being acâ€" complished, nothing would add more to the permanent beauty of the town. that in a mixed community there are always to be found a certain percent: age of the population who never allow a matter otf this kind to engross their attention, but are susceptible of being guided into the proper path ‘by those who are better informed, and have a decided waste of their own. It is tothed latter thatâ€"we specially appeal, al: though doubtless the formet to an e: qual extent with those of the latter.can enjoy a solitary walk in the woods, shaded from the scorching rays of a July sun, surrounded by all that is pleasing to the eye, and captivating to the imagination. ‘Mes DARLING‘S DRUG STOREF P.

Hopsox, Liye Stock Commissioner. This presses beavily on the laboring and artisan classes, who practically never get anything except soâ€"called cheap goods, but which would be more truthfully designated it called lowâ€" priced goods. It is contended that even if the price were somewhat enâ€" hanced, the genuine woollen garment wou‘ld give greater comfort and health, wear much longer, and in the end prove much more economical than adulterated goods. That there are many difficulties in the way of getting practical legislaâ€" tion on‘the subject cannot be denied, but the impor.ance ot promoting honâ€" esty amongst manufacturers and proâ€" tecting . the people trom imposition demands the serious attention of the Legislatures of all civilized countries, because as a matter of fact, it really concerns the masses of the people more than the sheep men who are directly interested, because ~under present conditions all the poorer classes are entirely cladâ€"in the adulterated goods. he. 2 As before stated, undoubtedly some shoddy is far better, and would make a better cloth than some gorts of forâ€" eign, lowâ€"grade Kempy wool, but these alone, and not adulterated, could not make a cloth to deceive anyone, ard therefore would not compete with any except the adulterated goods. i IS? l t ht mtc rratsinc ns t t ratnts td S so6 c +d ‘There can be no question that the majority of men and women who go into a shop to gurchase woollen, goods haye no knowledge® of the extensive fraud daily perpetrated in selling them goods largely composed of substitutes for wool, and that 90 per cent of the buyers have no idea that when asking for woollen goods they are too often purchasing an article from which raw wool is conspicuous by its absence. under the impression that to work up 90 per cent of shoddy a considerable amount of cotton must be used, and the dishonest manufacturer would probably find himselt muleted in a heayy fine. under the i cOoONVEYANCER, valLuaATor Insurance Agent, NOTARY PUBLIC, COMMISSIONER, &c Private Money to Loan UNTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO h We have also got our new Chopper in first class running order and have a large quantity of chopped corn, wheat, &c. on hand.
