“T have for the last 25 years of my life been complaining of a weakness of the lungs and colds in the head, especially in the winter. Last fall I was again attacked.

I can positively say that I have not spent a winter as free from coughs or pains and difficult breathing spells for the last 25 years as was last win- ter. Ican lie down and sleep all night

He Sings of Cheese Principally, Zi
Tarns Ovcasionally to Other Themes,
The light of James McIntyre of Ir gersoll, Ontario, poet and undertake can no longer be hidden under a bus! el or a cheese box. The course © events is briuging him prominently be fore the mind of every studs: of contemporary literature, and he will no longer down. The revival of th: cheese industry, owing to the recent rains, cannot heip rousing the pocti soul of him who wrote:
close
Fair Canada is our theme, Land of rich cheese, milk and cream.
But besides looking to him for verses #hat contain more butter fat to the line than the works of any other au- thor, living or dead, the wearied Cana- dians are turning to him for an ex- ample of serenity and philosophic calm that is sorely needed at the present time. Canada has been having a hard time of it with her literary men. They have been squabbling in the papers over their rights and wrongs, and a battle of the bards is in progress. All of them want to sit above the Attic salt, but it cannot be decided who sh’ sit at the head of the table. Mr. Wil- liam Wilfred Campbell, like MeGregor, claims that the head of the t-ble is where he sits, and the friends of Mr. Bliss Carman argue that he should have the precedence. Prof, Charles G. D. .Roberts, Mr. Archibald Lampman, and Mr. Duncan Campbell Seott all have warm adherents who clamor for their supremacy, and such ugly words as “plagiarist,” ‘“‘imitator,’” and “log roller” are being bandied freely. And what hcs McIntyre to say in the mean- while? Not a word. He minds his own business, and, to quote from his poem, “The Flood of the Creek,”
Old friends and new he'll gladly meet On the west side of Thames Street, Where he has a foundation sure And a gocd stock of furniture.
Neither floods of water nor of wor?’s can disturb him. He woos his ox-eyed muse in peace, and with a mind not cankered with envy. His position is too thoorugt:ily established to be idly discussed. He is a poet of the people. Notice the modesty of the prologue to his second volume, entitled “The Rise and Progress of the Canadian Cheese Trade.” With his spondaic feet firmly planted in the rich alluvial pasture land of central Ontario, thus MclIn- tyre:
It is folly now to aim
Or to seek for distant fame,
But rest content if we can claim
Something of a local name
On the pleasant banks of Thame
Because in simple strains we sung
The glories of this country young.
Of cows, and milk, and cream, and cheese,
And of fat steers sent o’er the seas,
Of horses ploughing land with ease,
Of hogs and sheep and hens and geese
Themes worthy of our songs and giees.
Worthy indeed, and worthily treated, Which of all the quarreling Canadian peets could have written this simple lay? Above all, he is the laureate of the dairy, the cheese poet par excel- lence. Whether he thants a Pindaric cde to one Father Ranney,
Who was the first there to squeeze His cows’ milk into good cheese,
or from the top of his caselnous Pat- mos beholds with prophetic vision a ten-ton cheese to be, cheese is his great argument. But although this great theme is dwelt upon oftenest and stimulates him to some of his lofties: flights, no pent-up cheese factory con-
tracts his powers. He is no “idle sing- er of an empty day.’ Ensilage and bears, wild geese and stone stables,
tile drains and the Northwest rebel- lion engage his lyre in turn, while
In Ontario the hen Is worthy of the poet's pert.
Naturally his sympathy with the cow is very close and is tenderly expressed in the following lines:
The cow is a kindly creature,
Kind and gentle in each feature, About her is a homely charm,
And her the dog should not alarm, But let all guard her safe from harm The gentlest creature on the farm.
Still, it is not on account of her esti- mable personal qualities, but as the fountain head and sine qua non of cheese, that the cow appeals most strongly to the poet’s affection. Shake- speare himself had not a wider range or a more versatile fancy than the bard of cheese. Now he moves in stately measure along the banks of the Canadian Thames, pausing at
St. Catherines’ famed for mineral wa- ters,
And for the beauty of her daughters,
and now thrills the reader with a tale of adventure, whose opening lines kindle the imagination, and disélose a vista of wonderful possibilities:
I bought of land two miles square, I knew not it contained a bear.
In the work of a writer so catholic in taste and so lofty in tneme it is not surprising to find a broad and nobk tolerance towards his brothers of the poetic choir. McIntyre’s gener- ous appreciation of the work of others bespeaks a mind too wise for envy and too great for scorn. With fine emotion he laments in this musical threnody the fate of Shelley:
But I have scarcely tine to tell thee Of the strange and gifted Shelley; Kind-hearted man, but ill-fated, So youthful, drowned and cremated,
Elsewhere he tribute to
Whitman:
pays this
For erratic style he leads the van, Wildly, wayward Walt Whitman; He done grand work in ctvil war, Where he did dress many a scar, And kindly wet tne hot parched mouth Of Northern soldiers wounded South,
It is not much to say that Poet MeIntyre has fairly met the other Canadian singers and beaten them all on their own ground. To take the much-discussed Mr. Carman, his stout- est adherents will hardly maintain that his thought is always clear, al- ways tangible. Too often his poetry swims into a mist of words as vague as one of his own “gray winds.” N« puch reprosch can ever be brought
i lai noon wot WHAT WE SAY, but IM what Hood's Sarsaparilla Does, that tells the story of its merit and suc- cess. Remember HOOD’S Cures.

against the subject of this article. Whatever else he may be, he is never obscure. His characteristics of lucid thought and simple, forceful expres- sion, are well shown in these lines on a thousand-pound hog:
Pig had to do some rootine work
To make one thousand pounds of pork; Our stomach it doth not incline
To eat a hog seven feet nine.
On smaller pig we love to dine,
And it we do enjoy so fine;
For big fat hog we don’t repine, Let others eat enormous swine.
Let them, indeed! Eigh praise har been given to the patriotic verse of Prof. Roberts, but when has the *50-
called Canadian laureate, in any of his bursts of O-my-country poetry, equal- led this?
But we sing more glorious theme, It is our verdant pasture land, Where cows produce a flood of cream Doth make cheese of the finest brand, Young Deminion so gigentie, Where rail cars run at sp¢ed terrific, Thousands of miles from the Atl«ntic, Till in the West you reach Pacific.
Mr. W. W. Campbell, who started the late peotical unpleasantness, has been called “Poet of the Lakes,” but her? again a single brief quotation from on- of McIntyre’s lyrics is sufficient to demolish his would-be rival's claim to the title:
Here in great lakes we do take pride, And them with Uncle Sam divide. Other Jakes seem inferior
In size to Lake Superior,
Mr. Lampman has been called the didactic poet of Canada, but only bs those unacquainted with the protean genius of McIntyre. The seers of In- gersoll has written verses of a mosi searching ethical quality, touching with a fearless yet reverent hard the funda- mental truths cf religion. Whether it be the tenets of the Christian faith, ot the inspirations that have found ex- pression in the teachings of Brahma, Buddha, Confucius, Mohammed or the lamented Mme. Blavatsky, has he no‘ laid bare this basic principles in this terse couplet?

Makes us grateful to our Maker.
Has he not here pointed out the spring from which flow the healing wa- ters? In taking reluctant leave of this great and hitherto neglected poet, it is earnestly hoped that he may soon receive the recognition due to his re- markable qualities, and that the culti- vated circles of Boston, ever ready to pay homage to new discovered ge- nius, may soon be engaged in “McIn- tye evening,” and sit at the poetic feet of him who has written that

Woman's Dress ina Mohammedan Harem.
An account of a visit I paid to the zenana or harem of a Mohammedan Nawab in a native State may not be without interest.
A carriage and mounted escort of soldiers were sent at 8 o'clock on> morning to convey us to the castle. A gate in the immense walls of the compound led us into the ill-kept gar-
dens; passing from these into the court yard, and through long colon- nades and untidy passages, we were
conducted finally into the zenana. A large and lofty room, with* walls on three sides and a colonnade opening onto a court yard was the apartment in which we were received. Chairs were brought for our accommodation, but, with the exception of the matting on che floor, the place was without furniture.
Women, some young and tall, others old and wrinkled, passed and repassed, while we waited for the Begum to ap- pear. They were all dresses in the Same fashion. Trousers of light-col- ered damasks or sain clothed them from the waist. These pantaloons were baggy above, but so close fitting from the knee downward that they have to be sewn up after they are on, They are unsewed and removed once a week for the bath. A short bodice reaching just below the breast is worn, and then round the body and over the shoulder, and head is wound the sari of muslin or silk, which falls in graceful folds from the hips and shoul- ders. The Begum kept us waiting and we were told the reason was that she was putting on all her jewels to do us honor.
Presently she came in—a small young woman, with an oval, immobile face, and smooth black hair. She wore tight trousers of a rich green damask 2nd a sari of cloth of gold; on her bare an- kles were anklets of uncut emeralds and diamonds said to be worth 40,000 rupees; On her arms were a large num- ber of jewelled bangles and armlets: on her fingers rings of beautiful rubies and diamonds; round her neck were strings of fine pearls, and, suspended by studs of large diamonds in the outer rims of the ears she wore across the hair, at the back of the head, pearls, emeralds and rubies, prettily set as a kind of collarette. The ears were pierced in several places to al- low rings and jewels to be inserted,and in the nose a small diamond was worn. The little jewelled lady did not speak English, and, after we had admired her jewelry, conversation soon came to an end.
Her wee baby was brought in dress- ed in colored silk, with a gold laced rap on its little bald head, The Na- wab joined us, and there was much lively chat over the object of our visit to the State. In Such a zenana the most rigorous seclusion of the wives is enforced—wives, I say, for in this zenana the Begum was the chief, and the only wife, and was married the day after the death of the first Begum. —London Queen,

Hopeless Lover—That’s your final answer, is it, Marie?

The Taste.
“Don’t you think she betrays baa& taste in kissing people that way?”
“I don’t know. I have never kissed her.” s
