L.g.s.,,.C.. 1- .,Q,R.A,C.- ' LE 75 6- -fwcz 4 I A Trip up the Muskoka Lakes Close your eyes and come with us up the beautiful lakes. Imagine that it is a warm day in July. The steamer leaves Port Sydney, Mary Lake, to take us up the twisty north branch of the Muskoka River, through a lock, and into the island-dotted Fairy Lake. On leaving the steamer we board the queerest, tiniest 'train in the world. This little wood-burner takes the pas- sengers over the portage between Pen- insula Lake and the Lake of Bays. Here we getwon a larger lake boat which goes to'i Do'rset. But we are stopping' at the ,landing place before the end of the run. Bigwin Inn! What a beautiful place to spend a few days before continuing our cruise! t -MARGARET W1LsoN.' ' , A,Trip to Newfoundlancih' 'T Let' us takef an -imaginary journey -to the world's tenth .largest island, picturesque Newfoundland, that famous fishing ground that also bears the well- deserved name of-Landof .the.Caribou. One of 'our most pleasant rafternoons was spent in a' quaint fishing village. All the houses were whitewashed, and, Eff: N Y-fI.,N ..f 'T fl EF ,..:,f-f -S though scantily furnished, were im- maculate. . The Fisher Folk live almost entirely on fish. When the fish are caught they are placed on racks covered with pine boughs where they are seasoned by the sun and ocean breeze until they are salted. The operation of salting is carried on chiefiy by the women and girls. The coun- try's favour- ite dish is Bake - apple which resem- bles our wild . ...IA May apple. Cod .tongues V and dande- A lion greens are also considered delicacies. Herefs a tip! If you are planning to,-visit the country and have a fondness for chewing gum, take a. supply with you, unless you care for hard lumps of pine gum which seems to be about the only variety purchaseable. The children of Newfoundland are not compelled by law to attend school. fWe might consider this, on first thought, a lucky break, but the result is seen in the fact that a great many of the people can neither read nor write. This, how- ever, does not mar their hospitality, which is unparalled in any other country. These are only a few of the interest- ing features of Newfoundland, but I sincerely hope that they have brought to you a little more knowledge of this loyal country and Britain's oldest Colony. .
