And what are the chief attractions of this Well, I think I may say The breezes that are wafted across the Common at all times are full of health. You inhale new life and energy as you sit in front of an hotel that boldly announces (on its wall) that it is many hundred feet above the sea level. If the weather is boisterous you can seek the shelter of the valley. Fall to the level of and you are surrounded on all sides by hills that have been accustomed for centuries to set the winds at utter defiance and to treat the hurricane as a negligible quantity. Even on the hottest day of August there is a breeze on the Common. Then there are the waters that are healing medicines. They are full of iron, so are greatly patronised by those in search of strength or with a preference for water tasting of ink.

As to the hotels and boarding-houses I am not in a position to say much. I stayed once at a capital hostelrie on Mount Ephraim, and believe there are other establishments equally good. I may hint, too, that on Mount Ephraim you can get a charmingly furnished house for about four or five guineas a week.
