Itl I) NOVKS. "Mont ( onsidfi-able" lingli-li Poet Since I I'niixson. Canada this year is being intel- lectually enriched by the visits, not only of British actors, but also of Briti."h poets of ths first ra.ik. A few weeks ago we 'had Yeates, one of the "chief representatives of the Irish school ; now comes Alfred Xoyes, who has been called the "most co nfcid-e table" English poet since Tennyson. It is not incongruous to discuss barber shops while talking of poets. The paint about Noyes is that he patronizes the barbers as often as a business or professional man. He does not belong to the lengthy hair variety. On the contrary, he is aversa to "poetic" eccentricities of drrss and manner. He looks with disfavor on the insincerity and sham that mark some would-be poets. He regretft^that so many "men on the street" consider poe- try as a vail impracticable thing. For this he blades ths ''WTetdved a-esthetic movement." ''The prota- gonists of that movement." he says, "made a cult of insincerity and naturally they alienated s-nyible people. ' ; Noyes is by no means a pessimist, however, and he declares th.it this cloud is rapidly passing away, and that peoplj are beginning to see that there is a. fundamentally demo- cratic reason f :>r approaching poe- try. "The basis of pjetry," he da- clares. "is the ?ense t-f r-bythm, arA this re'!?? is universal. Indeed, you may say that rhythm is the basis of lilt." Poi-fry Is Religion. , The man who thus takes his art so seriously, and who also affirms that postry is the strongest part of what is called religion, because in the very broadest and grandest sense that can be given to the wo/ds. "Poetry is. Religion," is a yuung man, thirty-two years of age. For ten years, however, he has been famous. His books are sold all over the world, and he lives entirely n thf proceeds of his poetry, and the lu-ture" on his poetry. He is amaz- i 'ig'y T--!-;;ular in the United States, which he visited for the first time last year. So enthusiastically was he welcomed that he returned again ilr.

Brown bread and butter and cheese go well with it; also celery ami olive*. A familiar ami excellent way in which to serve chickeai is the frica- ee, which in mosit households has itself into a Srt of glorified chicken stew, sometimes with dumplings added. There are itome clever cooks who can t'a,ke a fowl K.ng past its prime, unfit for roasting, and by careful, slow cook- ing, with salt pork, turn it out de lightfully tender. For fricAsseeing the chicken is out tip preferably in sixths, covered with cold water and put on a very alow fire to simmer. Half a pound i.f lt. |>ork in strips is a<Me<i, and the chicken i* .simmered closely cov- ered. The liquor is skimmed and Baited and an onion and chopped lrsley added. Some thicken the gravy of the chicken when it cooks *. that fche flesh softens on the boo.08. A srcAt <li*sl of butter can bo added to advantage.

He has just received the high honor of being appointed "visitiig lecturer" of Eng'ish liter- ature at Princeton. The best known poems of N- are "Drake." "The Flower of OW Japan." "The Forest of Wild ThxjiW "Tales of the Meni'.iid T-ixern." "Rada," and "The\Vi/ie- pre>s." The last two represent him in one of his leading characteristic*, an adx Tcate of pe^ce. His latest poem. "The Wine- press." will be read by N'-oyes him- self at his evening meeting in To- ronto. His place in the peace movement,' he describes hirwelf. "A vast agency," he says, "is at work weaving meshes of a net around the continents, consolidating them in spirit, a more potent chain than that of new boundaries. In this agency a host of influences are at w<.rk. I have tried to invoke the imagination, an element resistless as fire, but constructive. This de- sire has been the inspiration of my verse." The Militarist Argument. In the following lines, Noyes sums up xx hat he believes to be the argument of out-and-out militar- ists : "Their deps arc always ankle deep, with twisted knives, and in their sleep They often cut themselves; they say. That if you want to live in peace The surest way is not to cease Collecting knives, and never a day Can pass unless they buy a fe.w . And as. their enemies buy them, too. They all avert the impending fray And starve their children and their wives To buy the necessary knives." Jack South, in Toronto Star Weekly Our London Letter Bu!cr visit London Poor.

' The trip was productive of manv amusing Incidents, all enjoyed by the king and ciueen. Ascending to the first floor of ope at the flats, the king tapped on a door in a simple, unaffected way and said to the housewife. "I've come to inspect the cot- tHKes ar.d flats I've built for my son: mav 1 come In?" "Although I recognized the knur and fjueen at once." said Mrs. Charlton. who occupies the flat. "I/ .remained Klued to the spot for several moments while thrv passed through all the i-oonia inspecting everything." At another flat Mrs. Marshall was clearing the table afttr her husband's luncheon. On table was a glass and empty stout bottle, which Mrs. Marshall endeavored to hide. and. failing, apolo- gized. The king and queen laughed heartily, but the king kindly put the woman at ease, saving lie was glad to observe that she attended to the com- forts ofr her -husband. The king, practical in all things.

During Queen Mary's recent explora- tion of the old houses tenanted by the TJoard of Trade she saw one of the most romantic ami leant known wraps of au- tinuity in Whitehall. This is the line stone archway now filled in by an of- ficial looking door underneath the offices the Watergate of Wolsey's Palace. Through this gate, we know from the chroniclers. Henry VIII. would come tu visit the Cardinal "in u mask with a dozen other maskers, nil In garments like shepherds' made of U"- cloth of gold and line crimsiMi." The King would burst In upon the festivities upstairs, and for his partner in the dance would single out Anne lloleyn. If you enter the prosy little room where accounts are being ndded up vou can Htill see th Cardinal's arms carved on what was once the outer side of the arch.

VANCOrVKR ISLAM). Said to Be (h ( - Most I n-ii,i Por- tion of I .1:1.1.1 i. Vancouver Island has been des- cribed as "a bit of Kngland on the Pacific." It is certainly the most English portion of the Dominion. Settled originally by a fine class of British settlers the ways and cus- toms of the old land have been pre- served to an extent unknown on the mainland, and this is one of tho salient attractions of the island for many of the newcomers. The scenic beauties are many and vaiicd, but we cannot live, however, on scenery alone and the means of livelihood is. a a rule, the dominating factor in a settler's choice of locations. In this very essential respect Van couver Island possesses many at- tractions. It is primarily a country for the settler with some capital at his disposal, and does not offer the same opportunities to the. poor man as the prairie districts of Canada. But for the man with a tasie for outdoor life the island is peculiarly attractive. As a fruit growing cen- tre it is making considerable head way ; many retired British army and naval officers have gone into the dis- trict in recent years and here en- gaged in the very plea<sanit, and if properly handled, remunerative oc- cupation of fruit growing. The soil and climate conditions are, more especially adapted to th cultivation of small fruits, and for this pro- duct t lie cities of the island and the main!. -i M< I offer a good market. The first white settlement in Bri- tish Columbia was made at Kam- loops in 1812. Victoria was first settled in 1842. On account of the steady increase in commerce between B.C. and Aus- tralia, a regular fortnightly service has been installed. Huge piles 100 feet long are being driven in the construction of a n-?w pier for^the C.P.R. at Vancouver, and nearly 2,000 piles in all will be used. The Vancouver shipyards are very buy, and are likely to be so fori some time. At present a new power schooner for the Hudson's Bay Company is being built. The Vancouver Terminal Com- pany plans to huild a double track railway from Main Street. Vancou- ver, to Kitsilano, where the Domin- ion --Government xvill establish ex- tensive dockage facilities. The Briiish Columbia Govern- ment will hold its first sale of public property in Fort George next May. Some 2,300 lots will be auctioned, and it ii expected that $2,000.000 will be realized.

Dairy- men's Association, it was stated that middlemen were making more profit out of milk tha.il either the, producer or retailer. In some : cases, it was said, the milk ad- vanced oveV 100 per cent, in price after it reached the hands of the middlemen. City Analyst Birch, of Victoria, told the British Columl>i;i l>airy men's Association that 93 per cent, of the milk cans coming into Victor- ia over the railxvays were unsealed, and the contents xvere often tnm-j pered xvith by parties who hod a ] partiality for cream II" advised them to seal all their cans.
