Armstrong, t/ew^eller, F lesherton Maloney Lake, Ariemesia Editor Advasck, â€" I have been re- (juesteU SBveral times when in that sec- liuu to write a short account ot the rather pleasant experience those uieii had who wont from the towiibhip of Brock to put up temporary houses on their b'ts in th.it piiri of Arteniesia. As it will intor- eat soiiio to know who ihedo men were I wili uive iheir names : Meesrs. E Sul- iiviui, T. Na.sh, J. Nash, P. Butler, J. FhicI, John MiiL'iiey and John Coi'gh- hi., the lattW j•lil,ill^' the party at Proton and aocouipaiiyiiig ihem for his plea.sure l.i ui;jiiy cauip iife fur a few weeks. As there were no railroads nor much at.iga coiivtyaace on their loute at that early d.ite, It took iheiii the greater part of three diiya to make ihe j'^jmey. A^ they Were ^oiiig in froii. the Toronto Inio they l>un.h.isi;d provisions and blankets, a plaie, kijife and fork, bawl and spoon for eacli, and borrowed a frying pan and a metal pot. As it was neir sundown when tliey anived at the hike they made »ti:Baiidhad bupper. When lime to retire 1 hey sprea<l hemlock brush under the irees, wra]. pod their bl.mke'.s around tlieni uid coaiptsed thcnisehea forauoou sleep, tiut were disappointed, for shortly af. or I bey had lam down it couiineuced to biiow, so Shey were obliged to cbop down poles to build a camp and cover it over Kith boughs and brush to keep out the snow ; made a good tire in front of the camp and lesieU undibturbod for the leiiiainuer of the night. They pub jVlr. ftlalun.y's house up tirs^ and close to the lake, and the other men's liyu.ses as they went along on either side of the line. In suloctiiiK one of the number to cook this pait of the work fell to T. Nash,and none en ued him his task for the post was a u»o.st responsible one, as I shall fxpluin a,H I proceed. When the fcw loaves they brought;|upfrouj iho.liiie were ciinsamod thoy were oblig.-d to bake, as iliey weio two-and ahalt miles from ii hettlcuieiit and ni; n-ads open to those it would be almost iinpo.-'Sible to obtain bread. So with baking the cook's (jroat- tfct irnublen bo^aii. tie had no tray to lijix his dough, no bread boaid nor toiler to roll out hm cukes, but Mr. Coughlin Moon supplied lliat deheienoy. lie chop- ped clown a buiternul tree iImi stood nearby and made ilioso utensili, and Ml. Malontv made a pan-jack to rest the pan liaiidle on, as it was one of thice old- time pans much u.^ed before stoves came into use. The jack was a liin'.{ piece of Wood with nulchos ni it so that tlio pan O'Uld be raised or lowered as desired. Aa the pan wus rather small it took a c»ke fii>iii it for each of the seven hearty men, and that niimbi r three tnims a day, wliich amounted to 21 etkes per day. Ar<l the pot had to do good service als', for the meat had to be boiletl in time to put the ptilatoB* on, and ihey in turn should be b-i:led in t:mo lo have the uot ready to boil water to make t-.ii. Some days the cook would have a bnco or tw) of partridges t« dress in tioie to havn pot- pie for dinner, for Mr. Malon«y t>>ok his rifle along, and being a gocl shot and biids and deer numerous at tho lirae.wilh no game laws to prohibit or restrict peitpla from iho beneht of thuae, be kept the cunip well supplied with 'resh mo«t. With all this baking and boiling the cook had to chop the tire wowl -well, perhaps it was parvof hisooniraet. He wiu per- mitted to do it, supposing it wann't. Also he had to bring iho water up from the Jake over roots and fallen trees, and often in hiB greatest hurry the psil would upnot, and ho wui always in ajiliurry for {•»t the cake he left ou the |^u woitlU burn, for if it did he wojld have to re- place it or be left without himself, as each man had to have his cake. He had to keep an eye on the pot at the same time for fear it would upset or it* contents boil over. He had the same amount of baking and boiling to do on Sundoj as on week days, for they demanded their usual number of meals each day, work or no work. What annoyed the cook most was to have the men ooiiia in sometimes be- fore the meals were quite ready and take liberties with tho cakes. Ho often re- marked to them, as the herder's wife did to Kiii« Alfred, that they were very good at eating tlicm, but no ?ood to prevent them from burning. When the last event of the day was over â€" dishes washed ana things arranged for the morningâ€" -the poor cook could enjoy the evening, which, it seems, they ;ill did and to a good ex- tent, for Mr. Coughlin took his violin along and played oil it while the rest danced tdl tired of that part of the pro- gram, then sang songs, told fturios and played cards on the bread board which was always made ready for that special amusement. So with work and amuse- ment they had a very good time of it. A hen the last house was up they broke up camp and went back to Brock to make ready to return to Artemesia, which they did a few months later and soon cleared up their lands and lived happy and con- cerned after, and spent some pleasant evpiiinjs at tho lake, for Mr. Maloitcy built a Hat boiil or raft which they sculled along with poles, and they often talked and laughed over the time they had in camp at the lake side. â€"CATHARINE MALONEY. William McDonald, an employe of the Muskoka Leather Ouinpaiiy,Bracebridg'). was killetl by touching a wire fence tiun-. nected with the main electric Iii(hl wii'«. A length of insulated wire, which the electricians had been stringiiij; as a lightning conductor, was allowed to sag against the electric light wire and the end was thrown across the barbed fence a- round the leather company's stable. Two men. George Perry and Wm. Beard more, touching tho fence, received shocks and mentioned the fact to McDrmsId, who at once laid one hand on the wire, remark- ing that the current was nut very per- ceptible. He then placed tho other hand on the wire, and received the fuil curieut, killing him instantly. De- ceased, who was forty years of ag-, leaves a widow and ei<;ht children. »»«» n « Uruggins Won't Cure Cararrh All the nediniue in the world taken in- to the st<imach won't cur»catarrh, and it's useless to squander money on tablets, bhters and liquid remedies. Catarrh is a disease of the nasal paaages, throat and brouchiul tubes, ijtuinach medicines can't reach these purls. It's only fra- grant healing Catarrhozono which is breathed all through the air passages that i« sure to reach the ieat ipf Oatarrh. No failure over known if Catarrhozone was used. It heals and doesn't irritate ; it soothes, kills the gerins and therefore cures. Use only the one certain cure. Two months tieatuieiit ?1.00 ; trial size 25c.
