Phone in your orders--29w GLIMPSES OF NOVA SCOTIA (Continued from Front Page) Two slice of the Halifax explosion remain in this church, one of which is very curious. As you know, when the explosion occurred a great many windows were broken. Amongst them was one of the church windows, which had almost all the centre of one of the panes blown out. When the glass had fallen, the hole that remained was in the shape of a man's head and shoulders said to represent a former curate. This curiosity has been pre- served by placing two panes of glass in the window, one on each side of the hole,"thus protecting it from the souvenir hunters who began to carry away bits of the shattered glass, and destroy the unique outline of the hole. The other relic is a round stick two 'inches thick, which flew up from the harbor, and pierced the inner church wall just above the vestibule door. Quite interesting wére the wands used by the verger to wake up any who went to sleep during the sermon of an hour or an hour and a half, or to warn restless children of any misbehavior. The crozier which was carried by a church official before the rector or vicar as he proceeded to the lectern, now hangs on the wall unused. The collection boxes at the end of long rods are in The or: gan which was captured from a Spanish galleon together with an iron trea- sure chest, now gives place to a modern organ, and electric lights shine upon the ancient glories. A short 'distance along the street from this church is an old cemetery now unused. It is a grim looking place--the deadest looking cemetery we have ever seen. There is nothing to lighten the stern reality of death. All the tombstones are blackened by age and smoke, and a number of them are decorated (?) by skull and crossbones. The hour glass and the scythe of death are familiar carvings, Scarcely a grave seems to be less than eighty to one hundred years old. - In reading the inscriptions, one is struck by the extreme youth of many who were buried there. Nothing that we saw there so conveyed the grim realism of that pioneer life, swherd poverty and hardship were unrelieved by modern medical attention, and life was over before it was well begun. One of the nfost striking features of this cemetery is the Sebastopol monument in the form of a great arch surmounted by the British lion. This is the only variety in all the monuments, which are merely marble headstones or great slabs mounted on an oblong base. Just before we left Halifax, .we went down to the harbour, and had a private view of it from the pier of a construction com- pany's yard. There we saw a boat used for fishing for sword fish. On the bowsprint a seat is fixed from which the fisherman can watch for his prey, and spear the sword fish as he passes. A fellow would need to be a good sport for this game. We also saw the harbor doctor's boat speeding out to meet incoming ocean liners. The doctor is an important individual, and can tie up things pretty well if he thinks that long quarantine is necessary. Such are some of the "Glimpses" of Nova Scotia w hich we were privileged to see, and we leave them with a deep appreciation of the fine character of the people who continue to carve out their existence by the use of those homely virtues of thrift and in- dustry, and whose fine courage is a worthy example. Always shall we remember with pleasure our trip to Nova Scotia, and the courtesy extended to us there.
