Scores of distin- guished men have been as much noted for their big feet as for their large noses. As your foot should look. George Eliot, Madame de Stael and other supremely intelligent women had also very large feet. It is not the siLe but the shape of the foot which makes it beautiful or ugly, and the shoe worn decides its shape, as well as its comfort. There is more care used — more time spent — in shapitiir "Slater Shoes," and in taking the stretch out of the leather so it will retain that shape, than in the entire making of ordinary shoes. The Goodyear Welt process admits of this fine modelling, and the stamp on the sole ensures to the wearer these hidden qualities. A tag on each pair of "Slater Shoes" tells of the leather in it. $3.00, $4.00 and $5.00 per pair. The Slater Shoe Store, 89 King West.

A drive around and throut;h Toronto has been enjoyed and appreciated by princes, and no visitor should leave the city without taking in the leading features at least, of the many beautiful gems of scenery that the city and suburbs po>se-s. The cheapest and most satisfactory way to accomplish it is to take a trip by one of Cbas* Brown's Hecot (loacbcs which enables the Tourist t(^ see the principal views and to hear the several places described by a Co.mim ti-.nt C.i idi-: who accompanies every party for that purpose, as well as to furnish valuable and reliable information on topics conne( ted with the city and places therein. These parties will be most select, and the aim is to make the outing as satisfactory and pleasant as possible to those who participate in them. The Coaches are the finest in the countrv, and wer "i sijeciallv for these trips. On their construction no expense h en spared to make them models in every detail. Each Coach is drawn by four splendid horses, and the equipage and internal fittings, together with the livery of the coachman and footman are not surpassed, perhaps not equalled in style in any public conveyance in the Dominion. Every comfort is afforded the passengers and the most polite attention to their wishes is given by the attendants. The Coaches call at the several Hotels as per Time Table on back cover, cacli morning and afiernoon daily, and proceeds along the most beautiful and representative parts of the city as described herein. .Seven minutes are spent at the Normal School and at the Parliament Ikiildings, University Ikiildings and other important edifices, through which the passengers are conducted by the guide. The Routes are not less than ten miles, and embrace a series of magnificent picturesque city and suburban views, composing the principal asjjccts of Toronto scenery. Intending passengers can book seats at any of the Hotels named in the time table by notifying the hotel office clerk, or telephoning the proprietor of the Coach (Telephone 123). Preference for seats given to those who book early. FARE for the.round trip $1.00. The Coach may be chartered by any private party of twelve passengers for any route they may choose.

On our rij^ht the guide draws your attention to the Lieutenant-Ciovernor's house and tells us of its importance, and the expense of its management and mai'Henance. It stands on the corner of King- and Simcoe streets. On the opposite corner to it we see St. Andrew's Church, opposite it again, a hotel, while on the other corner are the grounds of old Upper Canada College. The four corners have been humorously named " Legislation, Salvation, Damnation and Education." We drive east along King street and on the first corner we see the four big hotels. As we cross we observe Osgoode Hall, on Queen street, where the Hii:i;hest Courts of Justice in Ontario are held. Then we see many magnificent retail stores, the Mail and Telegram newspaper offices and the Canada Life Building. Turning the horses to the right we pass the National_Club, and on Wellington street we see many of the principal banks, insurance offices and wholesale houses, also the oftices of Messrs. Gooderham & W^orts, the celebrated distillers, and come to the City Hall and the St. Lawrence Market. Now we observe the g-reat chimney on the power house of the Toronto Street Railway Company, which stands 250 feet hii^^h, and affords a view o( fifty miles in every direction from its top. Driviniii" east i'li' the market aloni;" Kinsj;" street we see some old historical building's of the city, the first brick buildini;-, the first bank and post office of the city, and others. The j^uide describes the public, separate and kindcri^'arten school system as we pass a public school, and the detail will convinje our inteilii^ent pleasure-seekers that Canadians enjoy the hisj;"hest standard of free education. We discuss the manufacturing' industries and note the important factories which we pass, or have in the city. We criticise the orders of society, the customs of our country, the climate the wealth, government of our people, etc., and the g^uide amuses us in such a manner that we have not missed a moment of time until we dismount from our seats to inspect the beauty of the Normal School, see its museum and the arrangements for training" public and high school teachers. " All aboard," ag'ain. The horses prance past the beautiful churches and houses in this locality, and we now c.?serve the Horticultural Gardens which occupy ten acres of ground, and were first opened in i860 by His Royal High- ness the Prince of Wales. We note the beautiful foliage, characteristic of our summer season, the masses of flowers in bloom, and the large picturesque fountain. You now get a good idea of the size, style and character o\' the city, uid the g"uide will inform you oi' the value o\' houses and reiUiils, taxes, police and fin- pn 'ection, postal service, street lij^ht- ing", paving and assessments on property, etc. FRONT STKKKT I.()OMN(; KAST FRi'M VONGK.

The prospect here is charming ; the landscape, comprisinj;' hill and dale, forest and fruit trees, fertile fields and rich pastures, composes a delii^'htful series of enchanting scenes which, combined with bright sun, balmy air and joyous exhilaration of the drive, render this portion of the trip peculiarly pleasant. Down Avenue Road w^e speed to the Queen's Park, where we can enjoy one of the most beautiful drives in the city. Here was instituted the " Rotten Row" of Toronto, and on Saturday afternoons bands of music played while all that was stylish in vehicles and prancing horses were brought out by the local gentry. As we pass along vou observe to the left, Victoria University (Methodist) and St. Michael's College (R. Catholic), and many residences of our most wealthy citizens, while on the right you see the new Parliament Buildings, erected bv the Ontario Legislature at a cost of $1,250,000 and completed in i8<)2. Here we stay for a while to inspect this grand building which covers over 76,000 square feet of ground, and we particularly notice the sculpture w'ork on the massive brown stone which is a characteristic feature of the exterior oi' this stately edifices Let us descend for a while and visit the interior.

INFORMATION FOR THE TRAVIXLER AND PLEASl RP: SEEKER TRA\'EI.LERS or i)lcasure seekers, who, for the first time, gaze upon Toronto from the deck of any of the steamers plying on the waters of Lake Ontario, are apt to be unfavorably impressed with the view presented. At first sight nothing but bare, low-lying stretches of land meet the view, but as the boat approaches the northern shore of the lake, and rounds the western point of the Island — Toronto's natural breakwater — and enters the bay bearing the city's name, the view of the City is imi)osing, and its forest of spires and many factory shafts give evidence of a pros- perous and numerous community. The site of the City was originally very marshy, and in consequence it was of old known as " Muddy York," the latter being its sometime name. The history of the town is comparatiuely uninteresting until the years 1812-15, when the place was sacked and itartially destroyed by the American forces. Time, however, obliterates old scars, and the Toronto of to-day shows no signs of that early conflict. What the century did for our neighbors it has in no ina[)preciable way done for us ; and both people have reason to be thankful for the blessings of the new civilization it has been theirs so auspiciously to found and advance. When our town was incorporated in 1834, the name of York was dropped, and Sir John Col borne, who was at the head of affairs in this country, altered its style back to the old Indian name, the 30 Wonder Ladies and Gentlemen Delight to frequent our store during the summer season and partake of a <:jlass of Ice Cream Soda or Mineral Water.

At the first election of the city, W. Lyon Mackenzie was elected as its first mayor. He was foremost in the rebellion of 1836-37, which was the cause of great trouble and depression, but afterwards proved a jjreat blessint:^, for by it Toronto had years of great commercial prosperity, and now ranks high as the second com- mercial city in the Dominion. As bcl'ore stated, the immediate points of the city lie somewhat low, yet there is a grand assent, and the lines of Tom Moore, " Where tlie blue hills ol old Toronto shed Their evening shadows oer Ontario's bed."* may have had a more true application in former days than some critics of the present seem to apj)rove. The land, a mile from the lake, is 108 feet above the water's level, and two miles farther on it is some 250 feet ; four or hvc miles north the city seems to be at one's feet. Eight lines of railway, as follows, now have terminal stations in the city : 'I'he Grand Trunk Railway operating the East and West divisions, the Southern, Midland, Northern and Northwestern divisions ; the Canadian Pacific Railway, o])erating the Toronto Grey and Bruce, the Credit \'allcy, and the Ontario and Quebec divisions. During the season of navigation, steamers run to and from all salient points, and numerous schooners make Toronto their port of entry and exit. In the City of Toronto there are at present about 50,000 public and private buildings, and the [)opulation is placed at 220,000. The City of Toronto has advantages over most cities and municipalities, owning large tracts of freehold j)roperty in the best business centres, for which it receives a large annual revenue from lease-holders. The yearly civic income and expenditure is over $3,000,000 as an average. The assessed value of the property this year (1897) is over $150,000,000. 33 The City is divided into six wards, each ward sending four rcpresentalivc Aldermen to the City Council.

The exports of th© city amount to $3,984,000 a year, and the imports to $17,731,000. In Toronto are many handsome buildings in every style of architectural beauty — lovely residences, magnificent commercial edifices, grand colleges, stately churches, impressive civic and legislative halls and other structures, not so [iretentious perhaps, where science and art, benevolence and fraternization, amusement and recreation serve ito adorn the interior. All these are described by the guide who accompanies parties every trip on Chas. Brown's Coach Routes, and his information can be relied on as most trustworthy. Toronto is universally known as the "Convention City." Del- egates from all civilized parts of the world have met- here and lauded its praises. No other city on the contineut is so favorably situated for the puri)0se, geographically, climatically and in every other respect. The comfort of the hotels and their moderate prices are matters of surprise to travellers, and the facilities for all kinds of the highest class of enjoyment are second to no other city in the Western Hemisphere.
