AN IDEAL VACATION TRIP. There 1s something incongruous about the ac- complished American who has visited every nook and corner of Europe, yet bas never traveled west of Chi- When one considers the natural wonders of the world os they are lavishly displayed on this cont! nent, there Is some reason in the criticism that a per- Lould know something about bis own door-yard tefore he Uravels abroad. Here's an attractive itin- erary for a month's vacation : A vight’s run to Montreal over the picturesque AdI- tondacs route of the New York Central, thence over the Couadian Pacific, skirting the wild and rugged Nerth Shore of Lake Superior, for nearly five days’ catinvous riding through the provinces of Ontario, ssinibola and Alberta, until the Canadian ins ere reached. And right here all at an adequate description of their won- yeauty and majesty may as well cease. The | winds Jn and out through beautiful valleys sod swe-Inspiring canyons, {ce-capped mountains towering thousands of feet on either side. For a fow niles the track may lead beside a beautiful and peace- fel ctroam of water which farther on becomes a moun- tain torrent tearing its way through awful gorges. five and six hundred feet deep, while the train, clinging to mountain side, slowly winds its way along the verge of chasms so vast that the uproar of the dash- og waters below, though visible to the eye, cannot be deard. Banff the beautiful, exquisite Lake Louise, with lier two sisters In the clouds—Agnes and Mirror the marvels of the Yoho, one of the grandest tain valleys in the world, and its wondrous and dows Takkakaw Falls, discovered but a few ko. And so we follow on to the Selkirk range, magnificent glacier embracing an area of juare miles of gleaming ice. While a whole summer could be profitably spent thi, wondrous region, ten days divided betwe J suldle herse and mourtain climbing with a s will serve to impart a fair and very satisfactory a of the most extensive system of moun- tain ranges in the world, and which are rendered essible amid creature comforts and the luxury of the inst admirable hotel service furnished by the Canadian Pacific road at various points of Interest e line, Leaving the mountains, we hasten a to Vancouver through the ever-changing scenic becuty and wonders of the far-famed Fraser River fanyou, thence across the straits for a day in the old British city ef Victoria, and on down to Seattle. Washington. Here we take the Great Northern Rail- vay for a day's ride over the Cascade range, amidst the wildest, most picturesque and panoramic moun- tain «cenery imaginable. Arriving in Spokane Falls io the evening, we change to the Northern Pacific road atd are off for the famous Yellowstone. Twere vain to essay a description of this mar- Yelou spot. Here the hand of man, ax instanced in the magnificent stage roads the National Government ly buiiding, together with the exceptional hotel and sage service of the Yellowstone Park Transportation ntrives to render the natural wonders of the place easy of access and the prolonging of one’s so- dura a luxury. Infinity has placed its stamp upon tls wonderful place. Eight thousand feet above sea level, amongst majestic mountains, impenetrable for- ets and spouting geysers. Most awe-inspiring, teauriful and impressive of all are the Grand Canyon and the Great Falls of the Yellowstone River, a tre: Dendous volume of water leaping over a cliff nearly {0 feet sheer down to the bottom of an indescribable forge. tinted and splashed by all the colors of the w, Here Nature seems to have struck her last tote and exhausted her theme. As Stoddard, the lec- lurer, expresses ft, “It is a place where the Finite Hays, the Infinite hears, and Immensity looks on.” From six to ten days in tho Park, as the tourist Heases, and back to New York may all be included in the thirty days, Truly, such a trip 1s an education in teett along th LISTENING AND PLAYING Think what the ANGELUS offers. You hear a pianist play with rare technique and skill —the result of years of hard work —and then, even though you do not know a note of music, if you have an ANGELUS, you can reproduce the ferformance in your own home Note for note, now slow, now fast, now the air predominating and the bass subdued, now the bass ringing out and the thrills soft and clear—the ANGELUS responds to every demand of piano playing. These sympathetic changes which the ANGELUS permits are impossible with any other piano-playing instrument, The PHRASING LEVER does it. The ANGELUS ORCHESTRAL contains sweet-voiced flute, violin, ‘cello and bass reeds adding a charming accompaniment to many delightful compositions. | These are also exclusive advantages of the ANGELUS.
