REVIEW OF A TRIP The Misses Vera and Violette O’Dell have returned from a six weeks’ tour of eastern U. S. and beginning with the beautiful "Niagara to the sea trip." This covers 1000 miles from Niagara River and Toronto through Lake Ontario, the Thousands Islands, the exciting descent of the wonderful rapids of the St. Lawrence, visits to the historic cities of Montreal and Quebec, the sublime scenery of the St. Lawrence below Quebec and the Saguenay river, above the dark waters of this majestic stream, tower capes Trinity and Eternity to a height of nearly 2000 feet, facing each other with a small bay intervening. They are in truth well named The Sentinels of the Saguenay.” After the return' up the St. Lawrence to Montreal, the trip continued with another boat trip equally interesting and picturesque, Lake Champlain and Lake George. From Boston delightful side trips were take«n to literary Cambridge, historic Lexington and Concoid. quaint old Salem arid Marblehead, Cape Ann and Cape Cod, where the cool breeze from the broad Atlantic bring comfort on the hottest days. 'fhe homeward journey in- « eluded visits to the cities of NewYork, Philadelphia and Washington, w here some of the cool, refreshing air of the capes would have been most welcome.

These include the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red, and Jersey Black Giant. They mature earlier than the meat breeds, but not so quickly as the egg breeds. They are also sitters and make good mothers. The American breeds are good producers of brownshelled eggs and possess desirable table qualities, the yellow flesh being popular on American markets. »
