I VABMlil'TH l.ll^HT. !• you've never visited Nova Scotia, you have certainly missed much. A i.ind jusi :i night's ride away from Boston — a foreign country, if you please — and yet such a change from the hot, dusty and uncomfortable surroundinKs in the States. A few weeks siiftice to huild up the worn-out sys- tem and put more life and enthusiasm into che human frame than a score of physicians. The expense is nominal. It costs no more to go to Nova Scotia than to Maine; it's a nice, pleasant outing, once taken, oft repeated. The Dominion Atlantic Railway stean.irs are the finest passenger ships •eaving Boston. .Modern in construction, large staterooms, wide promenade deck, grand saloon, and cozy smoking room, they are floating hotels, models of comfort and convenience, making the .'27 miles with the regularity of a railway train, with no dust, no noise, uo confusion, until as you sit on deck and watch the disappearing shores, you wonder if you really are on the ocean, or is it all a dream I'he dining-room service is excellent, the staterooms are models of neatness, and from tht moment one comes under the care of the Domin on Atlantic Railway, one feels at home, and that restful spirit of content surrou ids him — and the vacation has commenced. travelers arriving in Boston at either station will find electric cars at the door, marked " Depots and Ferries," which will take them direct to the wharf of the Dominion Atlantic Railway, at the foot of State Street, where agents of the tompany will attend to their luggage and see them safely aboard the boat. 'I'he sailing hour is four o'clock in the afternoon, and promptly on time the magnificent niieteen-knot, twin-screw steamer swings out into the h.irbor and commences its journey to the " F-and of Evangeline." The harbor passed, the dinner over, the "constitutional " taken, we seek our berths with the resolution to wake early that we may catch the first glimpse of Nova Scotia and see a sunrise at sea. A Bmomvi! n»w oii thk v*«\m /'I Auk first land the traveler views, after leavinK the Massachusetts shores, is (ape Fourchu, the extreme western point of J^ Nova Scotia, where the elegant steamers of the Dominion Atlantic l,ine, a er a delightful fifteen hours' run at sea. pass Yarmouth Light and proceed onward through the narrow channel of the harbor to Yarmouth, which lies ahead in plain view, on a hillside and hacked by a curinin of Natures green. The town itself is inferesting, being the principal port of the western counties and the largest town in the province west of Halifax population, about 7.000. Here yoi begin to notice some of those peculiarities of the Hay of Kundy country.-the extremes in the rise and fall of the tide. While not as pronounced here as at points farther up the coast, yet the fall is about thirty feet, and the departing waters leave great mud banks, bringing into strong relief the winding of the ship channel leading to the town. The steamer docks right at the Dominion Atlantic Railway .Station, where two speedy and well-equippod trains await the traveler who elects to continue his journey farther east. -one the celebrated " Flying Hluennse." making a rapid run to the capital city, reaching there in the middle of the afternoon. The second train, the " Imperial Purple." is a local, making all stops and reaching Halifax early in the evening. But as we are not going on the train to-day, we will go ashore and have our lug}r.ge examined before taking the carriage up to tht hotel, from w lence we can view the town at our leisure. The (Irand Hotel, a few blocks away, but in plain sight from the steamers dock, offers the best accommodation for the stranger, being on high ground, affording a fine view of the harbor and surroundings, and of modern B»«K»i!e exami. {(I on the wharf at Varmouih.

While Yarmouth is under the H.ltish Hag. yet there seems sc much Americanism in its general style and nanrer one can hardly realize that he is ii. anothc imtry han the United States. Its citizens are hospitable in the e-xtre.ne and every courtesy .s shown to visitors, a feature wh .n itst'f has made the town a reputation much to be envied. The retail trade is principail) ' unftn. d to the main stieet, covering n^Pfly a mih of well stocked stores, from which the wants of tne travek-r .nay be readily and sai.sfactorily suoplied. 1 he wholesale district lies nearer the wate> and manv la.ge concern m this district are occupied in di' tributinj; tne various prodm f> to interior points.

H AMFAX was founded, in 1749, by P'.nglish colonists under the leadership of Colonel P'.dward Cornwallis. Previous to the settlement, the harbor had only been visited by a few storm-stayed fishing si neks. In 1746 the Due d'Anville's shattered and fever-stricken armada had sought shelter there, and the broken-hearted commander died, some say of poison; and his successor shortly after committed suicide. When Cornwallis arrived, the skeletons of some of d'Anville's men were found beneath the trees, while thousands lay buried in trenches near the shore. For some time the Indians were a constant source of anxiety to the ii'habitants, and they murdered several who straggled outside the pickets of the town. Dartmouth, on the opposite aide of the harbor, was attacked by night by Micmacs, under the direction of French Acadians, and a number of the settlerj were killed and scalped. This hostility had much to do with retarding the growth of the town. To aid in defending the settlement, a blockhouse was erected on a commanding eminence now known as Citadel Hill, and others were built in various advantageous positions. The modern fortifications which surround the town are evidences of the great importance of the position as a naval and military station. St. Paul's church, commenced in 1749, is probably the oldest building in Halifax, and its history is most interesting. The quaint Dutch church was built about six years later as a place of worship for the German settlers who resided in the northern suburbs. The legislative building, erected in the early years of the present century, was once considered the finest building in America. At the close of the American Revolutionary war, the population of Halifax was greatly increased by loyalists from the United States, and we find many New F^ngland names represented among the citizens of to-day. Old St. Paul's cemetery and the church records afford rich stores of information for American genealogists. His Hon. Sik Malachv Bowes Daly, K. C. M. G. Lt. Gov. of Nova Scotia.

Readied by the IJoiuinion Atlantic Kailway. lU To the north of the city is Fort Needhrm, still showing in its grass-grown mounds the abandoned earthworks once thrown up to defend the early settlers agains' either French or Indian invader. On the south, in contrast to this fort of the past, is Point Pleasant, with two batteries of to-day and manned by the Royal Artillery. Down the harbor's sides and on George's and McNab's islands are a half dozen other strong fortifications. Halifax is easy of access. It can be reached from Boston in twenty-four hours, from New York in thirty hou-s, from St. John in eight hours, from Montreal in twenty-four houis, and from Toronto in thirty-four hours. It is midway between Cape Breton's charming lakes and frowning mountains on the east and the Land of Evangeline and Nova Scotia's beautiful South Shore to the west. By finely equipped railroads the traveler may go east, north or west. Easterly, aiso, he may take passage by steamers, and in that direction, too, taste the pleasure of Atlartic voyaging while feasting the eye on the rugged beauty of Nova Scotia's deeply indented coasts. Loveliness and novelty will greet him at every turn. Halifax is the seat of government in Nova Scotia. Here the legislature makes laws in provincial affairs, and here the courts administer laws federal and provincial. Here the lieutenant-governor resides. Here the general officer commanding the British forces in North America has his headquarters, and here are stationed the imperial troops. Here in summer rendez- vous the splendid fleet of British warships commanded by Admiral Sir John Fisher. Such is Halifax in location and environment. Her summer days are balmy, bright and breezy — every hot hour empered by refreshing ocean winds, every night cool enough to make a blanket a source of pleasure to the wayfarer courting Nature's sweet restorer. If one were asked to name the fairest spot of land less than seventeen acres in extent to be found in North America, it would undoubtedly be the Public Gardens of Halifax. And his choice would be based, not only on the present glory of this pleasure resort, but because that nowhere else could he find such a sma'i portion of Mother Earth which so beautifully shows what Nature and the highest in human nature can together achieve. Thirty years ago these acres that thk beaitihl northwest arm, haukax. now delight the eye with the radiant beauty of myriads of perfumed flowers and fairest blossoms were but ;iii uncultivated wnste, leased by the city to a company for the purpose of raising vegetables. Happily the venture proved a failure, and on resuming possession of the land the city wisely decided to convert it into pleasure gardens for the people. The gardens contain two or II I'hotohyXotma,,.

Reached by the Dominion Atlantic Railway. 12 three shrubs placed there at the suggestion of Henry Ward Beecher, who complimented Superintendent Power on the excellent taste and beauty of the whole. Among royal visitors who have been loud in their praises of this enchanted spot were the Duke of York, the late Duke of Clarence, H. R. H. Princess Louise and the Marquis of Lome. A splendid fountain was unveiled by the Countess of Aberdeen during Jubilee week in J>'ne, 1897. In this idyllic spot, amid a loveliness of Nature tftat is indescrib- able, there are not only a "million beauties for the eye," but also "music ror the ear," the blending of the choicest military music with the murmur of falling waters. And to make the paradise complete there is the softer music of tender human voices that whisper the old, old story while, like Evangeline and her lover, they behold "the moon rise over the pallid sea." To the summer tourist who travels with or on his bicycle, Halifax and its vicinity offer many attractions. The streets, with the exception of the one on the water front, which is paved with blocks of stone, are macadamized, dry up quickly after rain and make an excellent surface to ride upon. The favorite resort for bicyclists in the neighborhood of the city is Point Pleasant Park, with an area of about two hundred acres, and containing about ten miles of first-class macadamized roads. One side of the park is bounded by the city, one by the waters of the harbor, and the third by those of the Northwest Arm, a lovely sheet of salt water lying behind Halifax. From Point Pleasant a view of unusual extent and beauty is obtained, and exquisite glimpses of the harbor and Arm are met with at almost every turn. The ride around the "Dutch Village" skirts the Arm for nearly a mile, passes through the village, a pretty suburb, and brings one home by way of Bedford Basin, an extension of the harbor, northerly, and the harbor itself in about an hour's easy riding; total distance about eight miles. At this point is the old residence of ,>„„ ». ...>..«„ THE FKKRY IIOAT " CHKl'UCTO." officers and about fifteen hundred of all ranks. Halifax is the headquarters of the Ninth Dist- rict, one of the twelve district commands of the active militia of the Dominion. The force consists of a regiment of Garrison Artillery, a battalion of RiHes and one of Fusiliers, in all eighty-six officers and one thouyand two hundred and forty men. There are six bands of mili- tary music in connection with the regulars and the militia, the regimental band of the regulars of course being of acknowledged superiority and an excellent model for the other organizations to profit by. The military mantt-uvres, sham fights and reviews at Halifax are well worth seeing and add materially to the enjoyment of visitors. Halifax Harbor, proper, opens from Chebucto Bay and thence to the Narrows, about six and a half miles. It is narrowed at Point Pleasant to a half mile in width and then gradually increases to one and a quarter milej until at the entrance to Bedford Basin, where it decreases to about a quarter of a mile in width. Sheltered as it is by McNab's and George's islands, the harbor affords at all times a per- fectly safe anchorage for vessels in from eight to twelve fathoms of water. On its western shore is located the finest dry dock in America, which has a capacity sufficient to accommodate the largest ship of Her Majesty's navy. Point Pleasant divides the harbor proper from the Northwest Arm, a body of water two and a half miles in length and from a quarter to three quarters of a mile in width, along the banks of which one finds the most beautiful scenery that can be imagined. The hills adjoining the Northwest Arm are surmounted by fine residences, the owners of which take great delight during the summer months in boating, bathing and fishing; the fac.hties for such sport being unequalled elsewhere in Bntish North America Above Point Pleasant, on the eastern side, Halifax Harbor is divided by George's Island, a perfect emerald gem in its setting. This island is strongly fortified, and only those who have a permit from the Imperial (Jovernment are allowed upon its shores. The appearance of Halifax Harbor, more especially when Her Majesty's fleet is in port, is an animated one. Halifax has long been celebrated for its yachting and boating advantages, the gradual rise and fall of the tide, and the prevailing southwest winds in summer, making it safe for even a novice to navigate about with but little prospect of a mishap. Bedford Basin is an ideal spot for both rowing and yachting. It has several good hotels along its shores, which, during the summer season, are continuously filled with visitors from the United States, Western Canada and elsewhere. Among the objects of particular interest about the Basin is Navv Island, on the western shore, where it is v(>ru\ Vr,.r,nh ,v,^^^( ,.,,.. ..u;,,„ i. :_ , the old-time conflicts between that nation and Great Britain.

MIAl) Of LAKES, SHOWINI^ ISLANDS. Persons who have spfnt n lifetime in Dart- mouth are often ignorant of its beauties. To see all takes time, but there are several points easily and quickly reached, among which is the Park, the pride of the town, from which may be seen the broad expanse of ocean, and beautiful harbor and city panoramic views. Beyond the town a short distance are the famous Dartmouth Lakes, a chain of remarkable beauty, the shores of which are dotted with summer cottages. A drive around the lakes is most delightful, and carriages may be bad at a moderate pi ice for the trip. Another grand drive is to Cow Bay, about nine miles, where there is a fine bathing beach. Other drives include Waverley, a gold mining town, Montague Mines, Bedford Basin, Preston Road, etc. A longer drive is to Lawrencetown. about 20 miles to the eastward. A comfortable hotel pro- vides for the traveler, and the bird shooting in season is e.xcellert. The Provincial Insane Asylum is located at Dartmouth, on the harbor shore. The ferryboats leave for Halifax every fifteen minutes Fare, four cents. Teams may be hirsd in Dartmouth cheaper than in Halifax. DAK r.MOl'TH'S close proximity to Halifax, with which it is connected bj ferry, and the many beautiful spots in and about the town, make it a most desirable residential place, and many of the bu.siness and profes- sional men of Halifax make the town their home. With a water front of four miles and a railroad along its shores the entire distance it offers unusual advantages for shipping, sharing wUh Halifax the great importance of being possessed of one of the finest anu safes: harbors in the world. Dartmouth is the second largest town in the province and is the home of several manufacturing plants. ► ALLS AT CKATHORNK's MILLS. o meytnoutb* Populdion, nboiil i.nno SVMMKR rLEASURRS AKOl NI) WKYMiiirill, |NLV a short rail ride, ifter leaving the steamer at Varmouth, and we are at Weymouth, ont- of the most picturesque spots imagina- ble. The town lies on the sloping green hills with the beautiful Sissiboo River at its feet. The laughing and jolly crowds of vacationists that meet the trains every morning would surely indicate that Weymouth had the power of attraction, even if you had not noticed its exceptional beauty of location and environment .is you crossed over the long railway bridge before reaching the town. It is a great resort for the young folks from the States because of the amusements offered there in the way of boating, bathing, fishing, band concerts and a thousand and one other of items which go to niake a summer vacation pleasant. The SLssiboo is a navigable river, and some large vessels are engaged in handling the commerce of the town. St. Mary's Hay is only two miles away and is daily visited by picnic parties. Weymouth boasts nl her cherries and certainly she has them in abundance as well as all the other early fruits both wild and " tame." An air of real sociability per- vades every one and you can enjoy every minute of the time spent there. The (Joodwin House furnishes excellent accommodations at moderate rates. The Weymouth House has a large lawn and shade trees, hammocks, and is always well patronized. If you have a wheel, bring it along; there are plenty of opportunities to use it.

The hotel accommodaiicns are excellent, not less than seven hotels catering to th'i tourist trade. .Among these i lay be mentioned The Manhattan, a new and modern hotel of more th.-.n ordinary notice, the Dufferin and The Columbia, two houses under one management, and the Myrtle. There are also a number of private houses which accommodate visitors to the town, and every ,.ffort is made to entertain their guests and make their stay a pleasant one. Digby has a great adv-.ntage over the inland towns; the breezes from the Bay of I'undy cool the summer air, the Hasin alTords exceptional opportunities for safe boating and Oiher water sports, and the lover of the wheel will find new beauties in every winding road and from every commanding hill.

BEIN(i the oldest town (except St. Augustine) on the American Continent, Annapolis is entitled to great veneration, but while examining the historical features of the town — the old French Fort with its still remaining barracks and sally-port, the subterranean passages, the old powder magazine, and other evidences of antiquity, do not think that all Annapolis is necessarily ancient. It is a modern summer resort town, and m location has no superior.

THIS pretty little town, 28 miles from Annapolis, on the Dominion Atlantic Railway, is also the northern terminus of the Central Railway of Nova Scotia. It has about 800 population, and possesses advantages, commercial and climatic, which should make it both a manufacturing center and a summer resort. Situated in the center of the Annapolis Valley, the garden spot of the province, protected by high hills from the fogs of the liay of Fundy, only a few miles away ; at the junction of two small rivers furnishing grand sport for the fisherman who delights in salmon and trout; near the moose-hunting country in the Nictaux Valley; with good roads, fine spring water, excellent beaches within a short distance, and every natural advantage, there is no reason why Middleton should not appeal to both business men and tourists. The hotel accommodations are fai., three hotels catering to the public at moderate rates. The VVilmot Medicinal Springs, two miles from Middleton, attracts many visitors. A sanitarium has been erected there and is equipped with bath houses for hot or cold water, and many atiHicted ones have been re- juvenated by the treatment. The apple orchards about Miudleton pro- duce some of the finest export fruit, which is in great demand in England and the States. South of the town are immense deposits of iron ore and their development will add to its commercial importance. Good bicycle paths are maintained to the north and south. The streets are wide anci well shaded. The temperature during the day in sumnr:!r is quite war.n, but at night the breeze from the Bay of Fundy makes blankets a necessity.

THE Central Railway of Nova Scotia crosses the Province from the Atlantic to the Bay of Fundy in an almost direct north and south line from Lunenburg to Middleton, a distance of 74 miles. The country through which it passes is rich in lumber and minerals, and abounds in beautiful lakes and rapid running streams. It reaches the finest hunting section in the province, bear, moose, caribou, and smaller game being numerous. Trout and salmon are plentiful in season all through the waters along the line. Hridgewater is the first town of any size after leaving Middleton. It has about 2,000 population, and is situated at the head of navi- gation on the LaHave River, "the Rhine of Nova Scotia." The town was partially destroyed by fire January 12, 1899, but has been rebuilt in a substantial manner. A park is projected for METHOD OK YOKING oxHN. the entlrc leugth of the lower side of tiie main street along the river front which will add to the natural beauty of the town. A fine hotel, "The Fairview," at the top of the hill back of the main street, is conducted by F. W. Clark, who in his eight years' management has made a host of friends. The hotel is always well filled winter and summer. Excursion steamers take visitors down the river, touching at Dublin, "The Ovens" (a series of caves), celebrated not only for their peculiar geological formation but on account of placer deposits of gold, and on to the ucaches at the mouth of the river. Lunenburg, the county seat, has about 4,000 population. It is the southern terminus of the Central road and does a lumber and fish shipping trade. From the summit of the hill back of the town a fine view may be obtained cT the harbor and ocean. The counties of Lunenburg and Queens are rich in deposits of gold, and the Central Railway the mines at Brookfield, Molega, Caledonia, 15lockhouse, Pleasant River and Chester Basin are reached, besides other districts which are being developed. Chester, " the Saratoga of Nova Scotia," is the finest vacation point on the south toast. It was settled by New Englanders and retains their characteristics. The harbor is dotted with islands, and the effect of the alternating land and water is entrancing. The climate is exhilarating, and the facilities for bathing, boating, and fishing are unexcelled. Halifax, Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore annually send their quota of visitors to this charming resort, and the Nova Scotia Yacht Club makes frequent runs there. Chester has two good hotels, but larger accommodations are needed there. The most satisfactory way to go is by the Dominion Atlantic Railway steamers from Boston, and then by train to Mahone, on the Central Railway, where connection is made for Chester. r.

OF late years Wolfville has been the summer home of many Ameri- can families who were attracted by the exceptional beauty of the town itself, and also by the country which surrounds it. It is an educational town, the Acadia College being located there, as well as sev- eral other institutions of learning. The College buildings are pure white and show to great advantage from their elevated location. Th^ Minas Basin is close to the town and the land owners have found it necessary to build dikes, similar to those of Holland, in order to protect their crops, the tides being from thirty-five to forty-five feet. Vou can always find water enough for boating. The town itself is scattered over several little hills and val- leys of its own which gives it a wonderfully picturesque appearance, the houses being for the most part painted white and contrasting beautifully with the heavy foliage. People come to Wolfville to rest and recuperate. There is little of the bustle and hurry of larger places, but there is a resident class of people of liternry tastes who attract similar minds f'-om other places. Wolfville is provided with exceptionally good hotels. The Acadia Seminary Hotel is a large ?.nd well located house and is admirably conducted. There are beautiful drives in any direction and plenty of opportunities for social amusement. Hlomidon, celebrated for its beauty, is within plain sight of Wolfville and Evangeline's Well, at Grand Pre attracts many visitors. The X in the illustration marks where the little church and the priest's house stood in Evangeline's time.
