ant surprises. \Vithout much imagination you may believe 
     
     you are in a province of Old France. Thoreau, the naturalist, 
     
     thought it appeared as old as Normandy itself, enabling him to 
     
     realize much that he had heard of Europe and the Middle Ages. 
     
     When you leave the United States you travel in company with the 
     
     saints, for the names of Villages such as St. Fereol, Ste. Anne, The 
     
     Guardian Angel, and of mountains such as Belange and St. Hyacinthe 
     
     are all along your route. The names “reel with the intoxication of 
     
     p0etry"—Chambly, Longueuil, Pointe aux Trembles, Bartholomy, 
     
     etc. Like Thoreau you will “dream of Provence and the Trouba- 
     
     dours.” 
     
    

    
     The beauties of Tadousac, and the grandeur of the “Dread 
     
     Saguenay, where eagles soar"—will be of deep interest to all who 
     
     reach Riviere du Loup on the opposite shore by Intercolonial Rail- 
     
     way, and who cross over on the steamships of the Trans-St. Laurent 
     
     Company. 
     
    

    
     There are few places in the world Where such a delightful 
     
     trip of two-and-a-half hours can be taken across a great waterway. 
     
     Probably the best View of the whole north shore is that seen from 
     
     here. The blue water, the gorgeous clouds, the great mountain 
     
     ranges and the ‘tang’ of the sea air will ever be remembered. 
     
    

    
     ”I saw the East’s pale cheek blush rosy red 
     
     When from his royal palace in the sky, 
     
     The sun-god, clothed in crimson splendor, came 
     
     And lit the torch of day with sudden flame, 
     
     While morning on white wings flew swiftly by 
     
     Bringing a message that the night was dead.” 
     
    

    
     Picturesque Tadousac,—with its delightful life—the tre— 
     
     mendous chasms of the Saguenay, the majestic capes, the noble 
     
     mountain stream of the Chicoutimi, the great lake of St. John, and 
     
     the perpendicular cliffs and roaring » 
     
     rapids of the Marguerite; all show 
     
     nature in her grandest aspect. 
     
    

    
     All along the south shore of 
     
     the St. Lawrence are numerous 
     
     pleasant summer resorts; and from . 
     
     Riviere Ouelle Junction on the 
     
     Intercolonial Railway the train may 
     
     be taken to the riverside wharf from 
     
     whence the steamship Champlain 
     
     makes a pleasant trip to the trio of
