Si'iN\i.\'. 1 I "Traveler luirrying from the licat Of the city, stay thy feet I Rest awhile, nor longer waste Life with inconsiderate hasie," SWEET and lialmv and joyous in spriiig-timc; transcendently beautiful and picturesque in summer; inspirinj^ and uplift- ing; in its peaceful autumnal grandeiu-; restful and scintillating with beauty even when the white mantle ot winter has beentinown over its varied landscape — tlie most mag ilicent, hospitable, health-giving, peaceful and alluring resting place ever set apart for tireci and care-worn mankind — such is the province of Nova Scotia. Such, indeed, has it ever been, but it is not imtil these latter days of oius that its existence has become known to others than its open-hearted inhabitants. This is not a historv of Nova Scotia. It is not a treatise on reciprocity or annexation. It is not even an adetpiate de- scription of the lovely province, for the writer, the poet, the artist has yet to come to the front who shall do it full justice tlirougli either of these departments. Let these few lines stand, therefore, simply as a brief and modest suggestion upon that most alis()rl)ing of all the topics of modern life — the annual vacation. "VACATION." What a wt)rld of meaning is wrapped up in tliat one familiar, simple word ! As inseparable a part of our jiresent existence as the verv work from which it brings smcease, the spending of oin- atuuial vacation lias come to be almost a science in itself, and days and weeks are spent in the atlemi)t to figure out the complicated problem of where the " best time" can be spent amid the newest and most pleasant of surroundings, with the slightest expenditme of time — and cash. With the moilern American there is no (piestion as to the vacation itself. It must be had, whatever the cost to him or the ilisarrangement of iiis business affairs, and the year that tinils no vacation clnoniclcd in his diary is a year that is to be counted lost, indeed. The man and his family wiio dwell in tlie city iiave got to go away to some [)lace that bears some sem- lilance, at least, to the countrv, for a week or a month, and the tendency is to lengtiien this period of amuial rest rather than sliorten it. I3ut wlierc to go.'' »J That is the most important part of the <|UL'stioii. It is an un(lc'iiial)le tact that liic popular vacation resorts (jf tiiis country, lumc-roiis and l)(.'autit'iii as they arc, arc yearly l)i.coming more and more passe, and the yreat American pnl)hc, particularly tliat portion of it residing witliin the l)orders of the New luii^hmd States, is hecomin,<:j .lore and more restless and dissatisfied, and is lookinjj; around ea<;erly for " <^reener lields and jjastures new." New llampsiiire has its White Mountains, Maine its woods and lakes, X'ermont its y;reen hills and New \'ork its Saratoy;a and Catskills and Adirniulacks; hut all these, beautiful liioutiii they are, arc old and oft-e\plored, and that means the deatii penalty for a simimer resort in these days of restless activ- il\- and uni\ersal desire lor somethinj^f Miw. In this blessed land of ours tiiere is nothinjf that man can want in reason that is not at his hand; and so it is in this emer- j^ency. Right at the \ery doors of Xew luij^land, more (|uickl\ reached than many a point in its own territory, a bountiful Pro\ idence has placed for the enjoyment of its toil-worn people a \er\ (Jarden of I'^den, wliich can never Ljrow old or tame, wliere theie is room'and hearty welcome for all who can jxissiiily wish to come, and where the Xew l'2njj;lanc'er who once tarries will ever lea\e his heart. It is a j^lorious Munmer j^arden, this rock-bound, verdant, beautiful, romantic p )vince by the sea. Se\eral hundred \e us have rolled by since this mayiiificent outpost of the ti^reat Canadian Dominion was discoscred, but the \\ork was poorly done, and it is but recently that its real disco\ery has occuried. Perhajis it woidd not ha\c been dis- covered \et bad not tlie Adirondacks and the White Mountains cume to be such an old story. Slowly and surelx, In \\e\er, tiie fame of this |";i\()icd section as a health-j;i\ in<4', restful, inspii'ing ])lace of summer resort has been sjjreadiuL;' abroad, and the annual exodus toward its sliores has assumed such j)roportions that an entire rexolution in transportation facilities has been made necessaiy in order that the comfort and convenience ol'tiie thousands of tourists may be proi)eri\ conserved. Happily, \o\a Scotia itself has not been re\ oUitioni/ed, however, and it lemains to-day, as it undoubt- ediv will for years to come, the same uni([ue and picturesi|ue IJluenose land. Those w ho have found their wav thither have stopped and seen and marvelled that sucii a lovely, romantic and historically interestin<;' region has so lon;^ lain undiscovered and unexplored bv the pleasure lovini^' \'ankee ; and their wonder has deepened into profound admiration as its superb natural beauties and thorounhlv local chaiacteristics have yiaduaiiy been unfolded to them. •' inuely tliere can be on earth no fairer si)ot than this I " thev have exclaimed, as they have rambled through its leafy and balsamic forests, sailed upon or bathed in its pure and sparkling waters, lished in its winding rivers, hunted upon its bree/y marshes, or studied the numbeiless and varied industries |)eculiai" to ihe country and the tpiaint and curious characteristics of many of its |)eoj)le. .Small wonder that they thus exclaimed I Siueiy the poet must have had in mind this beauty spot, when in reminiscent mood he wrote: i4 I 1: i With faxoriiit;' winds, u'cv sunlit seas.

To sum it up Iiriellv, tlie expectant tourist is cnterinj^ a province of the Canadian Dominion — a forcii^^n countrv, if the term .seein.s more rom.intic to him — made up of a rock-hound peninsula, \sitliiii whose 31. 7y s(|uaie miles of territorv are stored rich samplis of neai l\ ail the natural b^'auty. mineral and at^ricultural riches and iiulustrial enterprises of tiie North ..Vineiican conlinent.

'I'lie country is threaded Iw w indinL( ri\ ers and s])aiivlinLC lakes, w here (Ish f)f \arious kinds come to the surface and make plaintive appeals for some one to come and catch tiiem. In fact, nearly one-iifth of the area is \valer, which may account for the remarkable fertilitv of the countr\. The province is famed for its rich farms, its prolific orchards and immense lumber tracts. It is essentially an aj^ricultural counlr\, but tJiose wiio expect to find simply a repetition of New llam|)s]iire or \'ermout life will be pleasantly (lisai)pointed. Xo\a Scotia is imi(|ue. i\en in its farms. While there are no elexations really entitled to the name of mountains, the land sometimes takes .-i wrs ambitious turn ami ujjrears itself to a heii^lit of 600 or a thousand feet, so that there is never any monotony to the scenery, and once in a while there is somethiiitc akin to grandeur. It is one of these belts of hills that serves to ]5rotect the pro\ ince from the cold nortii Avinds, and the near [)reseiice of that great public s\stein of hot water heating, the (iulf Stream, is another factor in making the climate of Xosa .Scotia more e(iual)le than that of an\' other part of Canada. It is one of the most healthy climates in the world, has fewer medical men in proportion to tlie population than any other part of tlie cmitiiunt. and is noted for the le ollicial health returns from the British militarv stations. \o\a .Scotia ranks in the first summer, the mercurv seldom gets abo\c No^' in the shade, and "o^' is accounted pretty longevity of its inliabitants.

'IMie fact that it is the Xo\a Scolian terminus of tlie Yahmoi' ill S ri:AMSiiii' Comi'ANN' is one lliiiii^ that assures its future pro^peritv. The beautiful residence of Hon. L. I'^. Baker, the president of the company, is one of tiie I'eatures of tlie place, and its doors are always hos[)itably open to visitors from " the States." The hotel accommodations of Yarmouth are fair, but they are soon to become iniexce])tionable, and another season will probab!\- see a line summer hostehv erected. The climate duriuL; the \acation months is salubrious, the noiinal tem|)eraturi' hi'in;;- J'o or ^•5 decrees, and the ])!ace is almost entiieiy free from fesers. The country is le\el, affordin<^ maj^nificent drives in all directions, and there are abundant opportunities for salt water bathing and lishing not far from the tow n itself.

The ])opuiation of the town itself is (|uite large, and the people are awake to the value of their heritage. There are already half a dozen small hotels and family boarding houses, with plans on foot for a big one. There has also been a com- pany organized for the purpose of building summer cottages, which can l)e purchased or rented for a ridiculously small amount, and which are doubtless dotined to be \erv popular. Digby was originalK settleil by the loyalist refugees from New ^'ork and Xew England, but their descendants do not cheiish any haid feelings against their \'ankee cousins, albeit they did have some little ditficulty with them on accoimt of a certain three-nule lishing limit law ; so nothing need be feared on that score.

There is ci'itainK an abundance of inerLjv in its peopK'. \mon<4 the points of interest mar by aie C);il< Island, recalling nu'morii's of Captain Kidd and his elusive buried trcasm\', and '• the Om'Hs." These are situated on the westi'in side of thi' harbor, ami comprise a nmnber of yawnin;j^ caxi'rns worn bv the si'a. some ei;4'hty feet deep. Indian legends tell how a chiif intend one and came out at the Basin of Minas. Mahone Bay, (he next jioint of interc.-st, is reached by the Xo\a Scotia Central railwav, and is another charminj^ place, with unexampled facilities for salt water lishinjr ;iud bathing, and boating'. ."Scores of islands dot tlu' smface of the ba\' itself, and the air is a \ery tonic.

Xothini^ could excel the ipiii't j^randeur of that riwr sci'uery, and if auNthiuL; can awaUe the romanticin one's nature, it is surely that. BridLfewater is as bustlin;^ a place as it is attractiw. and is the home rif some of the most enterprising;' men in tlu' pro\ ince. It formerh (lid an immense bnsiniss in luniln'r. althou;^h an emhar^o has recently lieen placed u])on that, which is not \ et lifted. The headquarters of the Xo\ a Scotia Cinlral lailway, w ho>>e handsome station is a cri'dit to the whole province, are here, and this road is each \ear hecomini^ more and more ])rondnent a factor in the snnnner travel of the province. From Bridq;evvaler interestiui; driv I -., lisliiiiLf eN])e(lilions and railroad and river excursions can be taken; and the solenudv beautiful rejifion of the ijreal Bonhook and Mole^a l.ake^. with tliiir ancient Tndian traditions, mav be explored and lished in for trout and salmon. At Mole.L;a are located the extensive ^old mines of that name — a wonderfully productive field, .and a bit of Austrilia set down in the Nova .Seotia wilderni's^^ tlu' combination drive and sail to w hich form a most deli-jjlitful and <33 ii instructive experience. Here tlic whole process of gold mining and smelting may lic studied and facts learned as to the pro- ducti\ eness of tlie province in this precious metal that will astonish the stranger. Once liaving penetrated to this romantic neighhorhood, the tourist can take liis choice between pushing on furtjier to tlie great hunting and fishing groimds in and al)()ut Lake Rossignol. or follow the Lixei'pool Ri\er to Lixerpool, on tlie Atlantic coast itself. If he goes to Rossignol, which is the largest lake in tiie province, 12 miles long and S miles wide, he can pass througli a whole series of lakes, and may %isit the hunting region of Indian Gardens or tiie Uiue Momitains. He will need a guide at any rate, and if he can secure an Indian one. so nuich the better. Tlie Liverjxiol Lake region is verv licautiful. hut it is often very iutricate. It affords magiMticent opportunities for " camping out." As to Liverpool, to return to the coast, here is another ideal .esiing-place, and one which can be reached direct from Halifax or Yarmoutli by the J>outh Shore line of the Yatjmoutii Stkamsuii' Company. Liverpool is one of the most inter- esting tow ns along the coast, and occupies the site of a former Lidian rende/XDUs — conseciuentU, more ( iloosca]) legends. It has been a fa\()rite place for summer visitors for several } ears, and offers many natural attractions, besides an o|)|')<)rtunit\ to study lumbering, fishing, shipbuilding aiul other industries. It is one of tlie most important centres for fresh water tishing in the pro\ iiice. Lea\ iiig tlie rock-bound harbor, the stc.nner jiasses Port Mouton, which was \ isited b\- Sieiir de Monts in i^oj. N '\t conies Little Hope Island, famous lor its wrecks, Port Job, and Loclqiort, Tiiis latter point is an important lishii.g centre, having a large West Indian trade, and furnishes not a few recruits for tlie (jloucester iishing lleet, as do a great manv otiier Nova Scotian tow us and villages. Carter's Island, \s ith its reil light, and Gull Rock ledge, with its w bite one, next appear to view. Tlie^e are followed by Cape Rosew ay, w liicli has two powerful fixed white lights, and tlien the course lies between the picturesque banks of a deep and roomy ba\, until the town of Shelburne is reached. vShelburne is an illustrious example of the miglil-lia\e-I)eens, and, indeed, of the lias-i)iens. Its real founders were Loyalist refugees, who came from the I'nited States and settled here in 17S3, intending to make it tlie capital city of the jiro^ ince. 'I'lieir ]dans miscarried, however, and the I 2, fxjo population which the town contained in i7S-";,sooii diminished to 400, many of the ,..((p!e returning to the land the\- had left. 0\ er two million of dollars were sunk in the enterprise, and, altogether, iIk- earh' histor\ of the jilacc is a melancholy one. To-dax' there are about 1.500 people in the town, and. besides the m;ignilicent harbor, the |)oints af interest include the Roseway Kixer. and I Jirclilow 11, a setlU'inent peojikd b\ the descendants of Southern slaves, fve miles from Shel- burne.
