The pground size is 34x51 feet, exclusive of the kitchen: portion that is one storey in height. The first storey is nine feet high: and the second storey eight feet six inchés. This house was recently built for 812,000. The exterior is cov+ ered with glazed shingle tile, the side walls as well as the roof. The roof, which is high pitched, is treated with a centre gable in front, with recessed balcony and the familiar round-topped dormers on either side. The central entrance leads into a wile hallway, the entrance doors, glazed and finished with side lights on either side in keeping with the gener- al style.

The attic storey is devoted to a large amusement room and three servants' rooms. All *of the exterior woodwork, cornices, window frames, sash, piaz- zas, etc., are painted white, This is a model home of its kind, with a liber ality of space on every side and a feel- ing of hospitality, more in evidence than in many of our modern homes.

And the supreme court of the United States has formulated another doctrine "that treaties ceding territory to the United States are to be construed most favorably to the ceding power," which in this case'was Great Britain. In 1802 the United States proposed that 'a line start at the highest source, and run on a tangent westerly from the point touched, along the water mark of the lake to the most north-western point, ut which it will meet the line Fun ning througn the lake." Unser these instructions a treaty was signed in London an the 12th of May, 1903, by Lord Hawkesbury, on behalf of Eng land 'and Rufus King for the United States, in which it was agreed that the boundary should be "the shortest line which can be drawn between the north-western point of the Lake of the Woods -- the nearest source of the Mississippi." Although the initi- ative in this trealy was taken by the United States, the senate rejected this treaty unless the clause settling the boundary line, was struck out, the reason they gave was that "We have taequired the French treaty rights in Louisiana."

Great Britain was now free, at the time of the application of the United States for a Jasting peace, from all entanglements in Europe, and the United States' no doubt felt they would not gain anything by prolong- ing the war. So the American secre tary: instructed the plenipotentiaries for the United States that it - was "important to -the Linited States to make peatland that "the great ahd unforeseen change of Circumstances par- ticulagy the prospect of a wore dur- able state of peace between Great Britain and ' the continental powers of Furope and of securiiy- to, our maritime rights justily the dhange of our ultimatum." Netwithstandiog Great Britain's peace with Europe and ber conquests by war from the United States her historic generosity restored unconaitionally all the conquered ter ritories 10 the United States as a peace offering, by the Treaty - of Ghent, and as a reward she has had a vexatious diplomatic controversy, and an annual invasion of the disputed terrijory between Canada and Maine. Nearly all the international disputes about the Maine boundary were caused by the actions of the States authori ties, and not by the federal govern- ments. The war of 1812 abrogated the fishery rights conceded to the United States, and the right of navi- gation of the Mississippl "coneeded to Great Britain by the treaties of 1782 and 1783, but by the treaty of IRIS Great Britain graciously conceded to the United States fishery privileges on certain bays and coasts in Newfound- land, Tabrador and Canada.

The Progress of Canada During Forty Years. Montreal Standard, Canada has her éyes fixed upon =a vision of future greatness, and 'no doubt finds therin all the inspiration she needs, But if she needed aught to gonvince her of her high destiny, and inspire her to continued effort, she would find it in the proud story of the last forty years. In the eternal march of history, forty vears is a short spacé--only the average work- ing life of a man. But consider what Canada has accomplished in her short and busy life? How splendid a story of achievement is hers ! How magni- ficent the tale of her progress and de- velopment ! i In forty years she has multiplied her area over six times, spreading her- golf out from a thin tract of 600,000 square miles till now she covers 3,- 745,000 square miles of thé earth's surface--one-third of the whole Brit ish empire, In forty years she has morp. than doubled her population, and tam lier foreign trade fivefold. 1 forty years she had multiplied her railway mileage ten times, increasing it from less than 2,500 "miles to over 25,000 miles--more, in proportion to popula- tion, than any country on the globe possesses, In forty years she had increased her hank assets from $82,781,000 to $901, 500,000, or nearly eleven times, and her bank deposits from $36,000,000 to $5358,000,000, or nearly filteen times. In forty years she has increased iiey manufacturing capital" from $75,000,- 000 to over $00,000,000, or over twelve times; her mineral output from a mere bagatelle to over $80,000,000, and her agricultural and forest pro- ducts many times. She has, by deepening the Lawrence, increased the size of vessels coming to Montreal ten times, and by the extension and improvement of her canal system, made it possible for vessels that could not have come to Montreal at confederation, to procead right on to the head waters of Lake Superior, In short, she has laid the founda- tions of a great empire--opehed up a country big enough and rich enouch to sustain hall the population of the globe. And her achievements have not all been confined to the material order either, Vast as has been the detelop- ment of her natural resources, erent as has been the increase in gill' the elements of materialy prosperit-~. she may boast equal triumphs in the nobler spheres of human endeavor. She has organized a public school system scarcely second, in point of efficiency, to anv other country, and established a chain of universities, colleges and. technical institutes from St. "Spring Fever" is just another name for Bilious- ness, Irregular Bowels, Upset Stomach.
