WOMEN'S CLUBS. 



brought up to the highest standard of aes- 

 thetic taste. Then., passing from the park 

 surrounding the Falls to the lower gorge of 

 the river, with its magnificent grandeur 

 from the base of the cataract until its ma- 

 jestic banks and rushing waters merge into 

 the quiet scenery of the lower river, we 

 come to the Niagara Glen, immediately 

 north of the whirlpool, comprising loo acres 

 of territory, unique in its unrivalled and 

 primitive wildness, which by the construc- 

 tion of roads, walks and means of access 

 will have become one of the most fascinat- 

 ing resorts in the gorge, as well as a very 

 paradise for botanists. The Queenston 

 Heights Park, with its grand panoramif 



views, will be completed and restored, from 

 the historic monument on the summit to the 

 shores of the river below, with the whole 

 river gorge, from the Falls to Queenston, 

 improved and restored and its magpnificent 

 views and vistas opened up. In fine, the 

 whole shore of the Niagara river, from 

 Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, will be restored 

 and converted into one continued series of 

 avenues and parks for the recreation and en- 

 joyment of the millions of overworked and 

 tired humanity, where they can come for a 

 time from the turmoil and toil to this Mecca 

 of peace and quietness, to commune with 

 the majesty of nature and the eternal. 



BRAMPTON'S NEW PARK. 



1^ HE modern idea that parks and pleas- 

 ure grounds are a necessity in the 

 upbuilding of a respectable town or city Is 

 fast gaining ground. 



We are glad to be able to record the fact 

 that the town of Brampton, which has long 

 been famous for having one of the largest 

 set of greenhouses on the continent, is now 



the possessor of one of the finest park pro- 

 perties to be found in any town of its size in 

 the Dominion. This it owes to the gene- 

 rosity of Mr. W. J. Gage, the well known 

 publisher of Toronto, who, on Dominion 

 day donated to the town for park purposes 

 a valuable property adjoining the county 

 buildings costing $20,000. 



WOMEN'S CLUBS. 



THE ladies of our Horticultural Socie- 

 ties might profitably form themselves 

 into a club for the discussion of questions of 

 Domestic Science or Home Sanitation. The 

 following subjects for such clubs are sug- 

 gested by Home and Flowers : 



1. What can a woman do for improved 

 sanitation ? 



2. Discuss the water supply of the neigh- 

 borhood. 



3. Discuss impurities of the soil about a 

 dwelling and danger therefrom. 



4. Consider the best location for sleeping 

 rooms. 



5. Is there any public or neighborhood 



nuisance which threatens the health of the 

 neighborhood ? Is there any preventive 

 to be had? 



6. Discuss the best means of ventilating 

 the rooms in a home. 



7. Are the children exposed to any dan- 

 ger from disease in the surroundings at 

 school? Appoint, if necessary, a committee 

 to investigate this. Can individual drinking 

 cups be supplied in the school? Are the 

 floors of the schoolroom kept free from dust ? 

 Do the children sit in draughts? Are the 

 outbuildings in a sanitary condition ? 



8. Is the care necessary for exquisite 

 cleanliness conducive to the hnppiest homes ?
