One morning, very early, I win busy
outside my pluee when I suw Mrs. Ilre-
gory, in a loose wrapper ami without
her crinoline, currying a huge pitcher
in her hutiils, puss down towards the
river brink. With nu object save the
gratification ul a nuliirul interesl which
a pretty woman "in her ligure "
arouses in u yuung fellow just uul uf

not u.ipiainti',1 I feared Ihul llic offer
might be regarded tin un impertinence.
The lu,|) was treading lur way aluug

hsd used the towel tu sume effect, but
lhe dress of thin material, wet llirough
uud Ihruugli, clung closely tu lliul sel
oft" her shapely figure. She blushed like
a red, red rose, and as I approached
sbe stammered furl It a few words uf
thankfulness, mlin,i.', "Whut shall I
do for some wulerf Charley Is too

The puet Clamlioiius complains that the
effeminate Rouiau youth uf the period
(JUS) B.C.), instead of carrying oil
Sabiue virgins, curried sunshades
lu the middle ages thc umbrella wus
a mark uf runk and liutiur. After tin
year 1170 a gurgeous umbrella was
always carried befure Ihe Huge uf
Venice, whether thy sun was shining or
uot.
From the fuct that Leonardo, da
Vinci, in the yeur I6I1U, used lite word
"tcut" iu describing his newly invent
ed parachute, it is evident thut lhe um
brella was then unkuown in Italy, in
France the umbrella, ur parasol, was a

Kuglund, and a parasul was carried
un thc slagc in a play produced in lhe
year 1910.
From the way iu which Hie pbilosu
pher Locke, iu describing a visit tu
France in 167G, speaks of the parasol
carried by French ladies, it is evidcut
that tbe parasul was still almost un
knowu iu Kuglund.
The description of Robinson Crusoe's
umbrella in Defoe's famous work,
which was published in 17111, pruhuldy
did much to make thc umbrella pupular
as a protection against both sun and
rain.
About tbis time rain umbrellas made
thoir first appearance in F.nglaiul iu n
similar way, by being rented by the
hour to students at Oxford and Com
bridge. The umbrella carrying student*
wero laughed at, but not otherwise
molested. Subsequently the pbllan
tbropist, John llanwoy, strongly advo
catcd tho use of the umbrella, and
never appeared in public without a
large and gaily colored umbrella, which
be bad brought from tbe Kast. He attracted crowds, aud derisive opithets

There is uo feature of the present

ably applies than lo the problem of
uiv streets, and more particularly to
those streets which ore destined lo be
lulled upon to accommodate the more
congested sections of lhe city's popu
iiilion inul traffic
A cross sectiuu of such a slreei in
11 modern city, witb reference lo the
works of a permanent character, whieb
it must accommodate for tin- well
being uml the convenience of the,coin
Inuuit) ul large, readily reveals the do
iruluhii of r|meious streels iu Ibis
aspect. Whot with witter pipes, storm
sewers, (military sewers, elcclric light
ami power wires, telephone wires, gat
pipes, atreel car tracks, etc., etc., t
eily strcj't of lbe prescnl day, when
it it completed, is on Intricate uml
uislly urruugen I of great public
works, whose tnaliltenance in goml or
der Is essential to the welfare of tbe
coininuuily. Eor this reason streets
of spacious width are advisable, iu
order to permit of on arrangement of
these essentials such as will render
I ham readily accessible, with the least
possible iiilerfefoocc with vehicular
and other trallic.
Modern tendencies in the important
mailer of architecture, in lbe business
districts of present day cities, emplui
since strongly the need of slreelt of
liberal width. Tbe conetrurtiolt of ex
Tellingly ),i|(U buildings for ollice or

fol consideration of the alreel width
which ie desirable for health and safe
ly, where tbey are situated. The com
purulivcly narrow street whieb would

, ,MV|ruso» where Juw buililingi ore Ihe
rile, would manifestly not be adequate
from 11 bygenie polnl of view in thiwu
tedium iu which the streuts aru shut
iu and the sky is wldl-nigh shut out
by Iho towering , height of "sky
simpers'' oil either side. The highly
Important matter of fire protection fur
flier enforces lhe necessity of wide
streels under such conditions. Even
with buildings of moderate height 11
narrow stroot practically invites a conflagration, Inasmuch us a hnl fire will
readily leap Irom one side to the oilier;
bul a broad stroot gives the lire light
iug force a fair chance of confining
even 11 liercc blaio wil Inn well dolincil
limits. The street, however, which
could fairly ids iui in be a broad slreei,
as for lire protection, when ilnm.c.i by
buildings Ihree or lour storeys in
height, contracts to a decidedly nurrow
strut nl th,. buildings rise lo eigiit
or twelve or mure storeys. This fad
renders il necessury for us In revise
our opinions of what really constitutes
a liroinl cily street today from the new
point iif lire protection.
The complicated nature of lhe Irulli,
which'lbe leading st roofs of u modern
city ure called upon to provide for serves
lo indicate again lbat the cily which
is to measure up tu llio besl sluiidards
of city (dunning, in new of future de
udopuicitls, must be chuructcrized lit
streets of ample width. A few years
ago lue vehicular trallic upon those
streets wus confined lo street cars,
wagons, buggies und other vehicles, all
ilruwii by horses. Conditions today,
huwever, lire vastly different, iiuis
iniiili as while the horse propelled vehicle still remains, we have now tb,'
lusl (liming elcclric tram, demanding
double Inn l.s instead nf „ system of
"turn outs," for lbe accommodation
uf the Irullic We lune also lbc swill

Ibe motor bicycle. These changed con

be Ibe ease, then il is evident that tin'

considered in Ihut light under condi

i(tieiitl) lbc exercise of an over cautious
spirit with reference to width of
streels in cities now in process of build
ing will be found detrimental lu the
interests of those ritlci iu the lifetime
of tbi'.ncxl generation.
With reference tn North Vancouver,
it bar long been rrcogni/ed as an un
ii'iiooiiii circumstance thai llic Esplan

one hundred feet wide wetl of Eons'
dule avenue, are only eighty feel wide
eusl of thai Iborgttgbfare. If any
slept could lie taken toward making
these slreei,, or either of Ihem, of
a uniform width of one hundred feel
throughout, tucb action would certain
ly be in the public interests Speaking
broadly, Norlb Vancouver can make
no mistake in following a general pul
icy favorable lo streets of spacious
width throughout, and any action that
uin be taken during the early slags* of
lhe city's tlovelopmcul iu lbc practical
application of tuch a policy will be
found, in Ihe light al future yeart, lu
be in the best intereiti, of the city,
inasmuch as all indications poiut io
the conclusion that il it Ihe city which
provides streets pf exceptional width
today thai will be found pollened of
slreets of sufficient Width under condltioni as Ihey are destined to ■oblsin
in tlie future.

I'or freight purposes.
The nverhooil liridgo, whicii is t

tlie purchase of two lots botween Muin

closely gone into before the city coin
nulled ilself lo heavy expenditure.
"The plun we huve just seen," suid
lhe uldertniiu, "appeals lo me us being
satisfactory. The proposed subways
uppeor to be adequate und will prob
ably be mi fur many years."
Alilcruiun Forcmuti shared lhe sume
view The plun loomed lo lliut very
reuHuntilile. ile wus fully sulisficl
lhat tho matter hud been gone into
thoroughly by lhe Vuncouver council
und engineering ilepurlinent.
Alderman Dick, while nut wishing lu
reflect upon Iho plun, spoke upun the
Importance of having mme time to
examine il thoroughly and in ilcluil.
"While I appreciate," lie laid, "Iho
hard work of the council and engineering tlopartmont of Vancouvor, ami
while I rcolir.o that possibly there is
placed before us lonighl ono of tbo
best lufewny propositions, ut present
1 can't soy J know it. I cannot gel
up und rod off a great harangue ami
say what a good thing it ii without
looking properly inlo it." Alderman
Dick impressed upon liis hearers tho
furl, that bo waa by no moans ad
vonoly criticirlng or doubting Ibo
• iinnii lei of ihe plan, lie merely
wished for time to go iuto'lti many
points of detail.
Alilorman Mcllae waa in agreement
with thii view.
Alderman-Bin expressed plcusure
that Ihey at laat loomed to be getting
nearer te tbe end uf litis subway busi
ness. Ue considered witb Alderman
Irwin that the ferry louse was a matter fa be eirefully looked into.
The mayor agreed tbat it was well
tbet tbli matter had been apoken of.
The ffrry board would look iuto it
before many mere days had elapsed.
They were fortunate, added ills worship, li| being goveruetl by such luws
ft I hev bad III I 'iiniidii, fur under I lune
Jawi tbo Bailway (loinmissionorii had
absolute power. Tbere was never any
need te four being abut off from tbe
city te tlte south, for the government
would nui ("iiiui mn li a thing. The
mayor bail been familiar with the
viiiiuiiii plapa tl|at had lieen put for
ward, and bo jtail no hositulion in pro
nouncing as nnttelaia tho one tbey bod
beforo them that night. It would be
remomborcil that Judge Moboo hud

Aldortnun Dick inquired' what the
propurtion of the cost Nurth Vuncuu

Thc mayor explained thut I hot was

Tho Bailway (lommissioners were supremo in Ihut relation.
Mr. II. I'. Wright, us o ferry director,

Eventually arrangements were made

few .people seemed to approciuto tbo

weutlicr is rendering the overflow, or
seepage, frum septic tanks'very uhvious
tu one's olfui'tory orguu, it is generally conceded Ihut It Is must desirable
to have lliesu extensions, but wo are

the work, coiieonuontly another yeur is
to |hin» during which we uliull Iiuv r
un enlarged risk of disease, wbleb may
be traced lo this source, (iruiited thai
those extensions cauuul lie proceeded

Pick tbem over carefully, removing
any that aro crushed or overripe.
Dp not buy either too ripe or bave
been too long picked. Blackberries, uo
matter bow fine or of what kind, uro
never satisfactory or appetizing when
Cliunod.
To provent discoloration all largo
fruits should bo thrown at onco into
cold water aftnr being peolod uutil
needed.
When ready to begin canning, get
tlio jurs uml place the rubber iu pqsi
tiou ou the top of each jar, witb the
top that hus been tested by tbe side
of thu jar. Do not mix tbe tops, us
onu that is true to one jar may uot
fit the noxt, this being purticulurly the
caso When the screw-top is used.
Place thc fruit in the jars as soon us
it is prepared, shukiug euch jur lo fill
the interstices as closely as possilde-
tbut is when quinces, pours ur uuy ol
Ihe inn,ri fruits aru used. Berries
must not be packed closely. If pears
aru used, turn some of the pieces with
the core side out, us it adds lo the
effect when finished. When peaches
are being prepared,ilivo or six of Hie
pips should be distributed llirough each
jur, for they improve tho llavor. The
pips ure removed before the fruit is
sent to the luble. dust us the fruit is
laid when the jur is filled, so it should
remain all winter, for there shuuld be
no furtber handling uf il.
Tne Cunning.—Place the sugar iu a
saucepan un the stove, with just enough
boiling water to dissolve il. When
thoroughly melted ullow it lu cool a
little and tbcu divide the syrup among
the jars u spoonful ut a time. If after
all is distributed it does not fill Ibe
jurs fund, il seldom does), add enuugh
lukewarm water lu each jur lo fill it
and loosely screw on the lop. If Ibe
glass top jur is used, pul the glass in
position, bin du nut luck if, for If
steam is nut permitted lu escape the
jur may burst. Have in readiness u
deep porcelajn kettle wilb an wide a
bottom us pussiblc; set the jars closely
together iu this, und Ull the kettle with
warm, but not boiling wuler, to within
uu inch of Ihe top of the jurs; Iben set
the whule over lhe lire lo boil. If the
preserving kettle is nul lurge enough,
lbe boiler should be uied, Do not al
low lhe waler to boil loo fasl. There
is no danger uf the jars cracking if llic
water is allowed lo heat gradually und
boil gently.
When the water bus bulled fur tin
miuutes, remove lbe cover from one
of (he jars, and if flic fruit can be
easily pierced with a silver I'urk, and
each piece seems softened tiiruugh, il
lius cooked enuugh. Ten miuutgs arc
usually sullicicnl for berries tu boil,
but more time is necessary fur lhe
lurger uud more solid fruits. Muke
sure thut the fruit is thoroughly cook
ed; thou set Ibe kettle buck where II
will not boil, und sci ure un Ihe lop
of cadi jar us tightly us possible in
order lhat tbe jurs muy be more con
voiiicntly lifted out Then, wrapping
the bund in a dry towel, lift a jur uut

If any syrup oores out ufler a jur bus
cooled, llic fruit cun be saved only bi
turning it into a saucepan, and, wliu
boiling, placing in u perfect jur, un in
llic old method uf cunning; but thin
will never be necessury if proper iurc
be exercised in the lirst instance. It
the leak is detected while the jar is
null hot, it cau bo agaiu filled witb
boiling water and scaled aftor .substituting a new rubber or a different
top.
As • the jars cool, if .tbe screwtop
variety is used, endeavor to tighten
them for the purpose. On thu following day, when the jars aro perfectly
cold, tigbteu tbe tops more if possible ami tben set tbem in a cool,
dry place as free from a strong ligbt
as possible. Do not bundle them after
tlnjy are once set nwny, as uny shaking
of the jars is likely to be followed by
fermentation of the fruit. Fruit can
nol iu tbis way will uot go to pieces;
on the contrary, being cooked in the
jar uud not bandied when in a break
ing condition, it remains ns whole iif
when put in tbe jur.
Canned fruit should always be open
ed two or three hours before it is
needed, us tbe flavor is much liner

so long deprived, is thus fully re

They consulted the iuspoetor of

greuter than in the United States, that
the boilers uf the steamers impeded

could only report progress, and ask for

line launches for ferry purposes, but
thul in view of tho difficulties that
were being experienced iu securing a
suitable ferry boat, he thought lbe
wisest course would be to purchase a
gasoline launch that would temporarily
hll their requirements. They would
then have lo apply to Ihe ratepayers
for money to build one or more suit
ulde ferry boats, which would probably
be siillicieul for all traffic for thc next
