THE SCBANTON TMBTJNE-SATUBD AT MORNING, AUGUST 22, 1896. 9 JUST BEYOND OUR NORTHERN BORDER From Ocean to Ocean Through the Queen's Dominions. AN AMERICAN'S VIEW OF CANADA Mr. Richmond Resume His Interest ing Scries oi Letters ot Travel Through the Wonderland of North Amoricn-A Preliminary Sketching of the Resources or Our Northern Neighbor. Written for Tho Tribune. Her? commences nnnther chapter of Our Wonderland story of travel across the grcnt Aim-rlrnn contlin-nt. A man of wisdom has said "know thyself." A less wise man may with propriety odd the maxim, ' Know thy country." "My country, 'tis of thee I sing. Sweet land of Liberty." We have sung the pralsrs of our country In a series of forty-threo let ters of travel over the Northern Pacific railway, Yellowstone Park and Alimka. We now propose to cross the boundary line into the Queen's Dominion and tell of tho wonderful scenery and marvel ous resourcts we found on a tour over tho Canadian raclflc railway. So much or int. rest is found that the wri ter feels somewhat embarrassed in the choice of material for even a brief sketch of tho prominent features of this confederation of provinces. It is not the. writer's intention to weave a romance, but to narrate the truth as een 'With American eyes. In our limit ed time and space we can only Klve a few of the many facts that appear on tho surface and describe but few glimpses of the marvelous scenic beauty nnd grandeur found along tlrs linof -tltU great trarsoontlnPntal rail way, where nature truly has bestowej with lavish and prodigal " hand her choicest Bems. Here it Is the eye turns from one grand scene but to find another even more enchanting. Thi historic and scenic beauties and charms are not concentrated at few points ami plae.-s but extend largely throughout tho en tire Dominion from the scenic Selkirks to the noble coast scenery of the Marl Umei'mv luces; and ilie American tour ist accustomed to the cities nnd rurnl communities of the Kcpublic, find3 here a peculiar people with peculiar manners and customs. In the cities and English settlements nre the quaintly ultra-Anglicans who follow London ns closely as possible In all matters of Costume, Idiom and social manners; and there are extensive districts in habited by Scottish Highlanders, and others by French inhabitants, all pre serving their natural languages, cos tumes and amusements unaffected by the presence of Ilritlsh Influence and power. Ail these phases of provincial HOUSEHOLD HELPS. ' When tho hands are dirty with house hold work they may be thoroughly cleansed by using a mixture of fait nnd vaseline, which must be well rubbed in and then washed off with ordinary soap. Persons who are accustomed to use tea leavee for sweeping their carpets and tind they leave stains, will do well to employ freshly cut grass Instead. It Is better than the tea leaves and gives a brighter and fresher Jook. To obtain a good polish on boots, iix the blacking with boiling water; it must be boiling, or they will be a dull brown, If the boots nro damp sprinkle a little moist sugar on the blacking and apply ' with brush In the ordinary manner. To clean marble, use common dry salt, Which requires no preparation, but may be rubbed directly on the soiled surface, leaving the marble beautifully clean. To make an excellent lavender water, take one quart of rectitled spirits of wine, two ounces of essential oil of lavender, and five drachms of essence of ambergris. Put all the Ingredients into a bottle and shake till they mix. To ma!:e mat king Ink, take one drachm of nitrate of silver, one of gum arable, one ounce of d luted rain or distilled wa ter, ami mix i.ntil dissolved.

It Is well, too, for an American citizen to have some acquaintance with tho British Domin ions on this continent our neighbor In territory, bound to us by the closest ies of kindrtd race, of language and of religion, and destined, ns many be lieve, eventually to be brought Into still closer .relationship to us by peace able annexation as an honored member of our prent Republic. We again Invite our readers to follow us on our jour ney throuRh the Canadian Wonderland of North America, including also the Maritime Provinces of the North At lantic. THE DOMINION'S SIZE. In the grouping of memoranda and data we condense the following by way of introduction. The prevalent Idea regarding the extent of the Do minion of Canada on the part or those persons who do not study geography (and there are many Americans who do not) is that It comprises only a nar row strip of territory lying along the St. Lawrence and the great lakes. Let us glance at the map and s?e how near the truth this may be. Stretching from Pacific to the Atlantic, and from the Great Lakes to the Arctic ocean lies the Dominion of Canada, which equals In territorial extent the conti nent of Kurope nnd from this Immense domain the Old World could form a score of kingdoms. Canada Is the largest of all British possessions, and It occupies an area nearly as large as that of the United States and Alaska combined, which Including lakes and rivers cover 8.456.000 square miles, to be exact, 146,990 square miles less than i nlted Stntes and Alaska. Its great est length east and west Is 3.S00 ml'es, while its width north and south is 2,200 miles nnd were it not that a portion of Labrador was politically attached to Newfoundland (which Is a cwvn col ony outside of the Dominion) all of the continent north of the United States east of Alaska would be comprised In the great confederation. Ot this area about 7O),0fl0 square mill's are cov ered with water. To form a mea?rro comparison of tho vastness of this great country, a writer says: "In the chief lakes of tho St. Lawrence basin alone, you can put under water tno whole of England, Scotland and Wales, while forty such kingdoms pieced to gether .would not cover the area of the Dominion." In fact the Dominion covers more than one-fourteenth (1-14) pnrt of the earth's surface and con stitutes forty per cent, of the Ilritlsh empire. It is thirty times as large as tho whole United Kingdom.. It is only by such meagre compari sons can one endeavor to form a con ceptlon of the vastness of this neighbor of ours. From the tlnte of its discovery In 14!7 by Sebastian Cabot to when the Dominion was formed In 1867, It was a troublesome and expensive British colony, but the Canada of today is a confederation of states whose people are ensrossed In the work of nation making, and perhaps nowhere in the ammonia, or soda has been dissolved. Stulns thnt nothing else will remove are often taken out by the vapor aritilng from burning- sulphur, but the material must be washed thoroughly at once. Tincture of myrrh is one of the best things to use as a mouth wash. It hard, ens the gums, leaves a clean taste In the mouth and a pleasant odor on the breath. To mend a broken plaster cast, paint tho broken surface over two or three times with very thick shellac varnish, and after each application burn tho alcohol over the flame. When the shellac Is sott, press the parts together and tie in place until cold. The article will be as strong as It was before being broken. Just now the salt in tho cellars gets damp and refuses to shako out, to the ex asperation of those who wnnt to use it. Mix a little cornstarch say a teaspoon! id to half a. cup of salt, with the salt and put in the rait cellars and the stuff will shake out all right. Burnlntr coffee that has been ground fine is ald to be a thorough disinfectant. Heat a shovel to white heat and sprinkle the coffee upon it and carry through the house, letting the aroma fill all the rooms. To Improve starch add a toaspoonful of ppsom salts and dissolve - usual way by boiling. Articles staffhed with this will be sttiffer, and rendered, to a certain extent, Hreroof.

This will then be a small space at the other of Umft riUakmisk. il.w oXcrA world are such mighty forces stirring to such gigantic Issues. The observ ant traveler can but notice a great change in the Canadian people, even within the last decade. GOVERNMENT. The Dominion comprises s?ven prov inces, Ontario, Quebec, New Bruns wick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Isl and, Manitoba, British, Columbia, and the Northwest Indian territories. Each province has a home parliament or legislature, a lieutenant governor (an appointee of the governor general), except in the Maritime , Provinces where he is elected by the people. In each province there is a responsible ministry and an assembly elected by the people under laws similar to those of the United States. The governor general Is appointed by the queen. There is no "state church" In the Dominion and all religions enjoy tho fullest freedom. In Lower Canada (the Quebec and French districts), the Ro man Catholics predominate In all the other provinces, the Protestants are in the majority. Of the population In 1S91. 4,829.411 tho Catholics number 1, 790,000 Methodists, 742,981; Presbyte rians, 676.165; Anglicans, 571,818; Bap tists, 296,525. Four-fifths of this popu lation are natives of the Dominion. The majority ot the lower province are of French and Scottish origin, while the upper province people are of pure English accent. Native Indians still occupy portions of the country. Nearly fifty-six per cent, of the Dominion are engaged in agricultural pursuits. Ed ucation is on a par with that of the United States. Tubllc Instruction in all the provinces Is encouraged by a yearly grant of $5,500,000, tho elemen tary schools numbering 15,000 and tlvs superior schools 1,000. There ore twenty-four colleges and each prov ince except British Columbia has at least one university. The Dominion is divided Into twelve military districts, the total military force numbering 600.000 men, of whom (on a peace footing) about 40,000 men are effective. The northwest mount ed police are the safeguard of the Do minion. Extending the entire length from Vancouver to Ottawa along tho boundary between the United States and the Dominion are detachments of mounted police with stations from fifty to one hundred miles apart in constant communication with each other. They number fifty officers and 1,000 men and exert a powerful Influence not only in preventing smuggling from across the United States' border, but also In pre serving order among both Indians and whites throughout the territory. THE DOMINION'S "RESOURCES. Of the natural resources of the Do minion no adequate conception can well be given. The mlneial riches are Im mense and distributed over a wide area. Large quantities of gold are found in British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia, also copper largely In the same provinces, also iron except In Manitoba, and the ore beds are of great richness. Lend, nlckle and plati num are produced in Ontario.. Rich end through which the thread will Blip when the wax is being used. An old housekeeper says the way to ex terminate red ants In a cupboard Is to place In It an earthen dish containing a pint of tar on which two quarts of hot water has been poured. Before beginning to s-eod raisins cover them with hot water and let them stand for fifteen unlnues. The Beeds can then be removed easily. To wash woolens, place in warm soap water and to about four gallons of water add two tablespoonfuls of best liquid am monia; this will Immediately remove MI grease and perspiration without rubbing, which mtisL be avoided. After lightly wringing, pass through two separate quan tities of luke warm water. Dry Imme diately (if possible In the open air) and iron thi-m when half dry. Washing out quick ly is particularly advised, as it prevents them from shrinking. An Inexpensive and convenient arrange ment for a bed in a living room or parlor may be made by getting a box spring anl having a carpenter make a box for it to rest upon. The framo should bo about six Inches high nnd be made with castors, so It will roll easily. Put a light hair mat tress over the springs. This may be cov ered by a couch rug thrown over it or by having a pleated valance of velour or handsome tapestry, with an Inch wide heading sewed to the upper edge of the springs, and covering the sides and top of the mattress with tho same material. When needed for a bed It can readily be turned on the other side. With plenty tf sofa, pillows -this will make a handsome as well as convenient piece of furniture. Some children- will not eat hash as it Is commonly made but will become very fond of the same If served In fancy fash. Ion. Try -them with this In fact you will find that the whole family will like it. To every cupful of minced meat put three tablespoonfuls of fine breacrumbs, enough rait and pepper -to suit the taste, and a shred or two of onion If you like. Stir all together, then stir into this- one well beaten egg and a pint of warm water or soup stock and e- t&blespoonful of good butter, melted. Butter little custard cups, fill two-thirds full of -the mixture, set the cups In a pan of hot water In a hot oven and let them cook half an hour, becoming brown over the top. When the washwoman gets through With her tubs, have her rinse them out with clean water and turn them bottom side up on the floor, and they will not be leading the next time she wants to use them. Use vaseline on the baby's shoes Instead of blacking, which will come off on the small skirts. Hub the vaselli.t on at night. It will be well dried In by morning and will often ths leather. By Courtesy of New York Evangelist. silver mines are found In British Col umbia, Ontario and Quebec Bitumin ous coal leads all other minerals In value of product, while Nova Scotia and British Columbia furnish nearly all that has been mined, the untouched deposits of the northwest territories ueing practically inexhaustible. Salt is produced In Ontario and asbestos, a valuable mineral, Is mined and export ed from the Province of Quebec, All these different minerals will be ex plained in detail as we traverse the sections where they are found. FISHERIES. The fishing Industries are the larg est In the world, embracing fully eight thousand miles of sea coast in addition to Inland seas, innumerable lakes, and numerous rivers. They are mainly centered In British Columbia, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, where seventy-eight millions of capital are employed and $19,000,000 worth of tho product Is sold annually on the Domin ion markets aside from home use, which amounts to $13,000,000 more. The Industry will be seriously affected In British Columbia, which alone yields three to four millions dollars profit un loss the United States and Great Brit ain can agree upon measures for the protection of the seal. The rivers of British Columbia literally swarm wttn salmon and the sea fisheries are well nigh Inexhaustible, a fact attributable to the fishes' food supply being brought down by the.Arctic currents from the northern seas and rivers. This con sists of living Bllme formed of myriads of minute creatures which swarm in the Arctic seas and are deposited in vast and ever-renewed quantities upon the fishing grounds a feature especial ly noticeable on our Alaskan trip. CANADIAN FORESTS. But no product of the Dominion ap proaches the forests (which are ncn with every variety of trees) as a source of vulue of the exports, or $26, 000,000 out of $97,000,000. - These prod ucts go mainly to iHreat Britain and the United States, though some go to South America and the West indies. The Canadian saw-mills ore among the most extensive and best appointed in the world. It excites the wonder of strangers to see a log taken out of thn water bv an automatic process. placed in position under the saws and reduced to Inch boards in a few sec onds. Think of It! A giant pine that required more than a century for Its growth reduced In a few seconds for the use of man. The Province of British Columbia Is donselv wooded with fir, cedar and hemlock trees, etc., often reaching 300 feet in height and square forty-five Inches for a length of ninety feet. Red cedars are often 200 feet high and 25 feet in diameter. A more extendeu account of other vast resources of the Dominion will appear as we traverse the various provinces containing them, With this introduction we commence our tour, traveling eastward from Van couver through the Dominion over tho Canadian Pacific railway. J. E. Richmond. TWO FAMOUS INVENTORS. Thomas Alva Edison, "the Wizard of Menlo park," was thrownn upon the world at 15 years of age. He became a newsboy on a railway line, out ne touna time to edit a little weekly pnper, read Newton's "Prlncipla" and make experi menst. He became a telegraph operator and one of his clever inventions was a device which he caled ineto play when he want ed to take a little nap. This fttomatlc device would answer the central ollice with thp asurance that Mr. Edison was awake when he was dozing peacetuny Edison also Invented nn automatic re peater to transfer messages from one wire to anotner. His first invention Miat brought him In anything was an Improved stock prin ter, for whlcn ne receivea w,uuu. r.very bodv knows about his phonograph, in candescent lights, klnetescope and Rineto-phonograph. Edison says that the time Is near "when grand opera can be given at he Metropolitan opera house at New York without any ma terial change from the original nnd with artists and musicians long dead." Nicola Tesla Is considered by many scientific men to be a mure origina genius than Edison. He was born in Servla and came to America and was emnloved by Edison. Telsa does away with the filaments inside the bulbs of small electric lights and makes diluted air do their work. Telsa sends currents of high pressure through space without any conductor at a voltage many times greater than that employed In electrocution. He sends cur rents through his body that vlbratsa million times a second or two hundred times greater voltage than Is needed to produce death. Telsa's aim Is to hook nature's ma chinery directly to man's, pressing the ether waves directly into man's service without the generation of intervention of heat. By so doing an enormous pro. portion of energy could be saved that now goes to waste. Telsa'n polyphase moters were adopted for converting Inio electricity the power or jsingar.i vans. It Is thought thnt the Niagara Falls Power company cen, before very long, furnish Chicago with energy at less cost than the steam made here by coal Is furnished. Electricity is carried to Frankfort from Laufen. wher It i created with a loss of only 4 per cent Electricity Is generated at the Fails a Folsom, Cel., and Is taken by overhead copper wires to Sacramento, twenty four miles, -with a loss of not over 20 per cent.

THE AROMA OF COMMENCEMENT Baccalaureate Sermon Before the Class of 18VttIuipersonation by PowcrsInlercsting Exercises on Recognition Dny-Address by President Elliot of Harvard-'Personal and Other Notes. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Chautauqua, Aug. 20. The crowning event' of last week was the "Stabat Mater" of Rossini, given under the direction of Dr. H. R. Palmer, by the choir, quartette and orchestra, accom panied by the piano and organ. This great hymn, "Stabat Mater Do lorosa," was written by Jacobus Bene dlctus near the close of the thirteenth century, and has been many times set to benutlful music; but Rossini's geni us has rendered It immortal. As Dr. Palmer remarked he used the latin words because they seem to fit the spirit better than any English trans lation.' The hymn is sung In Roman Catholic churches during Lent and on Good Friday. Long before S o'clock the amphithe atre was crowded, and hundreds were on the walks which surround this great auditorium. Of this concert, Mr. Chas. Barnard, who Is on the editorial staff of the Assembly Herald, a resident of New York city nnd a musical critic, said: "I have heard some of the finest music both In Europe and America, and I consider this concert as an education of the people worth the entire cost of Chautauqua for a year." A lady from Blnghamton, N. Y., said to me; "As you know we have very fine concerts in our opera house, but we have never had anything to compare with this." As the full blaze of the electric lights was turned on tho "White lilies of Chautauqua" bloomed in every part of the vast audience In honor of Dr. Palmer. Ag the last words were sung, Dr. Palmer found himself covered with flowers showered upon him by his en thusiastic and appreciative choir. The harmony of colqrs exhibited by the choir was almost equal to the har mony of tones. Our national colors, softened, delicate pink, white, light blue, with just enough 'black dresses to supplement the gentlemen's dress suits. The aroma of commencement has pervaded everything during the week, Sunday morning the baccalaureate sermon before the C. L. S. C. class of 1S96, was preached by Bishop John H, Vincent, D. D., LL. D chnncellor of the Chautauqua System of Education. His texts were: Job, xxl:15, James, lv;3, James, v:16. His subject was prayer and was handled in an earnest, able and Impressive manner.. At the 5 o'clock Vesper service seats were reserved for the C. L. S. C. and again Dr. Vincent gave a forcible ad dress. A sacred song concert under the direction of Dr. Palmer and nn il lustrated address, "History of the Eng lish Bible," occupied the evening. Professor Charles Sprague has lee tured upon Shakespeare telling us ot his "Cradle and School Satchel." his "Wedldng Ring and Freul," his "Match lock and Sword," his "Pen and Pencil" and his "Wand and Scepter." This Beries of lectures has been very greatly enjoyed. Monday afternoon at 2.30 a grand concert was given by the chorus, or chestra nnd soloists. At five Dr. E. H. Lewis lectured on "The Higher Real Ism," at 7.15 the children's chorus un der the direction of Mr. 8. 8. Season gave a concert. At eight o'clock, that great Impersonator, Mr. Leland Powers, was introduced to the audience. Re ceptions, C, L. 8. C. meetings, various club meetings, chorus drills, prayer meetings and numerous lectures In the different halls were sandwiched In as usual. Mr. Power's Impersonations are simply perfect. He recited his mon ologue founded on DeMllle and Belas co's comedy, "Lord Chumley." He was in himself, a whole company, manager and stage settings; and with no aids excepting' a handkerchief and nn eye glass, brought before us In rapid suc cession as well ns In combination, the great-hearted but affected English dude the French villain, the tramp, the old English gentleman and his son Hugh, the bombastic butler, the loquacious Irish maid and the sentimental spin ster, all appearing so Teal as to leave a vivid Impression of the personal ap pearance of each character upon the audience. Mr. Powers has since re cited Shakespeare's "Twelfth Nlngth," and David Copperfleld with equal ef fect. . The decorations of the C. L. S. C. rooms for recognition day commenced early In the week, and C. L. S. C. meet ings andi (receptions have been too numerous to chronicle. Tuesday, the weather gave a unique display. During Monday night the rain had fallen In torrents, accompanied by hoavy discharges of electricity. The morning was pleasant, but the tempera ture such as to render fires within doors, and wraps without a comfort. About 1 p. tfi. again down came torrents of rain. Again the sky cleared, again came the rain. The sun appeared, dis appeared. The rain came pouring down bringing with It quantities of large sized hailstones which lay on the ground In heaps for hours. In spite of all this Luna sailed ma jestically forth, the most welcome guest at the "Feast of the Lanterns." During the evening we made a tour of the dif ferent class rooms, where the respec tive classes were keeping open house. Their class mottoes, banners, pictures, etc.. ornamented the walls. In many of the rooms cheerful wood fires were burning. Everywhere thn utmost good feeling and cordiality prevailed. RECOGNITION DAY. - Recognition Day dawned clear and beautiful. The air was strong and bracing, reminding one of early Octo ber. At seven the bells sent forth their sweet chimes and soon was there a general activity throughout the streets. The newsboy was dodging here and there. In fact everywhere present, cry ing "Assembly Herald!" and occasion ally "New York papers." Dr. W. A. Duncan was marshnl of the day, and was quite conspicuous with an immense bow of light blue ribbon on his arm, and casting his genial smiles right and left. There were eight assist ant marshals, six division marshals, ten guards of the gate, twenty guards of the grove, four guards of the banner and two assistant gunrds. Rogers' ,band led thr respective di visions to their different places of as semblage, when, after considerable' marching and countermarching, the great procession separated into two dl- vision. One led by the band and misses wltn ftral offerings, passed up Haven avenue to the south side of the "Hall of Philosophy," where the flower girls formed In open order ready to strew their offerings In the path of those who passed through the "Golden Gate." The other division, composed of the C. L. S. C, undergraduates of four years, passed up Cookman avenue to the entrance ot the "Hall of Philosophy," where they formed in open order for the passage of the C. L. S. C. graduates. At 9 o'clock the class of '96 and graduates who had never passed through the Golden Gate formed there, ready for entrance. At 9.30 o'clock they joined In the appointed responsive service, at the close of which the messenger from the hall made his announcement and unlocked the por tals. The class entered the Gate, passed under the first arch, were. met by the choir of the "Hall In the Grove." the song of the day was sung and they passed on through the trlpple arch, the double arch and the floral arch. Into the hall, where the Recognition service was held. The procession reformed and marched to the Amphitheatre, where President Elliot, of Harvard university, gave the Recognition Day address. His subject was "The Characteristic Con tributions that America Has Made to Civilization." A recess was taken until afternoon, when the graduating services were con cluded with the presentation ot di plomas. Tho amphitheatre was beautifully decorated with evergreen. On the left of the great organ in large gilt letters was the class name "Truth Seekers" and 1898. On the right side was the class motto, "Eternal Truth," and "C. L. S. C." Placed against the platform were tho magnificent banners of the different classes, the one of 1896 occu pying the central position. The class color is grey, the class flower, the forget-me-not, and the clabs emblem, the Egyptian lamp. Placed over the "Golden Gate" was a silk United States Hag having thirty four stars. On the stripes were print ed tho names of the places through which It had traveled, carried in Chan cellor Vincent's pocket. These places are: Alexandria, Cairo, Memphis, Thebes, Goshen, Suez, Red Sea, Morah, EUm, Mt. Sinai, Joffa, Hebron, Geth semane, Olivet, Bethlehem, Jordan, Jericho, Jerusalem, Tabor, Lebanon, Cyprus, Sea of Galilee, Damascus, Bey rout, Constantinople, Pompeii, Rhodes, Smyrna, Bethany, Slloam, Shtloh, Mli peh, Jacob's Well, St. Sophia, Athens, Acropolis, Mars Hill, Corinth, Mycenal, Sicily, Naples, Vesuvius, Rome, Genoa, Pisa, Florence, Venice, Milan, Como, Alps, Geneva, Strasburg, Heldeburg, Coblentz.Cologne, Frankfort, Antwerp, Brussels, Lyons, Paris, Rouen, Calais, London, Westminster Abbey, Oxford, Stratford, Warwick, Rugby, Abbots ford, Edinburgh, Sterling, Glasgow, Ayr, Dublin, and City Road Chapel. Is it any wonder that Dr. Vincent is a broad, liberal man? The wall back of the desk In the "Hall," wns a solid moss of evergreen In the centre of which was the class emblem and over it the class name. On tho desk wns an Immense bouquet of forget-me-nots. The busts of Virgil, Goethe, Socrates, Homer and Plato looked approval upon the scene from their places on the wall. I give you the second stanza of the class poem written by Mary H. Field O delvcr In darkest mines For riches of priceless worth, Tho' sunlight nor starlight shines. By a gleam that is not of earth. Thou mayst read: Faint not, ) soul. The seeker shall teach his goal! Other speakers of the week have been Mr. I. V. Fiaggles, Dr. J. N. Fraden burgh and Hon. Wallace Bruce. Thursday was Young People's day. Processions of young people's clubs, public session of Young People's socie ties, and annual exhibition of gym nasium classes, were among the inter esting features. Today, Friday, Is Grand Army day, and many people are on the grounds just for the day. A patriotic concert was given at eleven o'clock, a platform meeting held at two o'clock, and this evening will be the camp Are of the Chautauqua County Veteran Union, PERSONALS. Rev. Father D. M.
