Lett, coloniza- tion and tourist agent of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway, who has just returned from an extended trip into bia. him specimens of mineral marble, granite, clays, marls, coal, gypsum, cement rock, lime rock, mica, silicas, salt, graphite and oth- er minerals of economic value which are found in various parts of the country he has just visited along the line of the G. T. P. in British Colom- bia in large workable deposits. He has also brought back samples of na- tural mineral waters which have been found close to' the railway and are said to be something quite dif- ferent from any other mineral water hitherto known to exist in the moun- tains. From the Edson district Mr. Lett has brought samples of very valu- able clays which have been proven by kiln tests to be suitable for the manufacture of terra cotta, tiles, pottery, crockery and other clay pro- ducts of a superior quality. In the same district graphite is found, and further west, in the neighborhood. of Jasper, there are extensive deposits of marble, beautifully veined and nottled. Mr. Lett states that a fine agricul- tural exhibit has been collected for the Panama exhibition at San Fran- ciseé from the territory served by the G. T. P. between the great lakes and the Pacific coast. The exhibit from central British Columbia is an eitceedingly fine ome, considering the fact that that part of the country is only being opened up and the few settlers have not had time to get much land in tillable shape. All kinds of wild and cultivated grasses, including alfalfa:.and wheat, oats and barley, have a place in the collection. Wild pea vine and other vetchies are over ten feet in, length, ,f and one bundle of oats stands six feet.

Did you ever experience the seh- sation of hearing yourself physically described by another who 'did not happen to know that you were with- in earshot? If so you may have heard yourself pictured as 'that shori-legged man with the scraggly gray mustache, you know.' You may have been. pained or amused ---it all 'depends upon your sense of humor or the fitness of things. But do'not despair at your portrait, Just listen some time to a pair of men when one of them is trying to recall to his companion a third individual, the latter seen per- haps only once years ago by the au- ditor. The gentleman jogging the other man's memory is likely to sketch the absentee in a few hold strokes, something like the follow- ing: "Oh, sure you the fellow with long yellow he parted his hair near his he had a scar on his chin!" "Now, I do," cheerfully replies the other at this piece of graphic des- eription, and then adds his own touch: "He was with a little chap who stuttered and wore big spectac- les of tortoise shell!" And the interesting question it brings up is why do people, generally speaking, remark defects and singu- jarities rather than perfections and beauties? A man with long yellow teeth might have had fine eyes and a noble head set upen his shoulders, and a begoggled chap with a stam- mering tongue might have had a Greek profile and an artist's hanes.

When asked how, he liked a sol- dier's life the boy said it was much better than living in houses, whith many people who wished to adopt him tried to persuade him to de, "At theend of our conversation,' said the writer, "he lit a pki proffered, blew a big cloud of smoke into the air, and cantered off, sit- ting his horse with true soldierly smartness." 1 1 Note Violinist 11.
