The observas- tions on His Majesty's daily life were rather sensational. One little boy tells us that His Majesty spends the up and down his garden path; that and that he has liver and bacon for breakiast "I think he has veal and ham and thick gravie, which is trimed with parsly, and is on a silver dish, ' says another youthful essayist. ""After that he has apple-pie, 'strawberrys. and cream, and then forty winks before he gose to the theater." But perhaps , the best piece of humor is furnished | by the laddie who tells us that the King rides about in a golden carriage, sleeps in a golden bed, wears 4 crown and gets wages every day which come to $30, 000 every week. It will be news to the Court that "sumtimes the King passes his time away sitting on his throne reading'; and «it is edifying to learn from' an. other juvenile historian that "he has some children who do not go to Sun- day school, so he spends his time singing hymns with them 'in the afternoon.'

Just | then Thackera cooked up. His shoul. ders were rat Joo! the tears stream- ing from his. eyes. 'Little Nell is dead," he said bro kenly, "Little Nell?' his visitor in rogated. "Yes, Little Nell," was the answer; "she is dead--I1've just been reading it." Before him, on his desk, lay aa open copy of old Curiosity Shop. Veteran Admiral's Record.

Mr. McDonald always exercised great influence over the Indians, to such an extent, in fact, that Lord Strathcona is cre- dited with having remarked that Mr. McDonald's presence at Qu'Appelle was worth 1,000 additional men in the field. Mr. Mcbonald was present at Fort Qu'Appelle in 1874, when Treaty Number One was negotiated with the Indians. This was the first of the Canadian treaties with the natives of the Northwest, and considerable diplomacy, was necessary to the cousent of the Indians, was them, all the far West teen trips wilt Winnipeg to Y Bay, taking dos England and ¢ for the pos wan ahd wu in When Wolseley's Mr advice was for the an un institution to and the ten known treatment me ers in the U. 8. of everybody but the British Gov- ernment and H.

There were assembled at Fort Qu'Appelle to dis- cuss this treaty no less than 5,000 Indians, and the Canadian Com- missioners were Lieutenant-Governor Morris, of Monitoba, and the David Laird, afterwards Governor of the Northwest Territories. Northwest Mounted Police had not yet 'been organized, and as an escort | or the commissioners a portion of the Canadian permanent corps, thea in garrison at Garry, was marched across the prairie. That the treaty was sucessful was largely ascribed to the influence exercised over the In. {dians by Mr. McDonald and his bro. ther Chief Factor, Mr. J. W, McLean.

Dr, James M. Bell Did Valuable Work For the Dominion. Dr. James Macintosh Bell, FR.GS., who has recently been in Canada, and who while here took over the old homestead, in which he was born, is a native of Almonte, Ont., » son of Mr. , Andrew Bell, C.E., of that place, and a nephew of Dr. Robert Bel, former- ly director of the Ge ological Survey. Dr. Macintosh Bell, himself, was, as a matter of fact, for some prominent member of the staff of the Geological Survey of Canada. In 1506 he accompanied his uncle, Dr. Robt. Bell, to Grand Lake Vicloria on the | Upper Ottawa, and thence to Nimis- kow Lake on the Rupert River. In 1808, he assisted his uncle in making his historical geological regonnais- | ance of the Michipicoten distriet, and { the following year a¢companied him { to the Mackerz ¢ Valley, where he performed some invaluable explora tory work. He spent the winter of 1800-1901 at Fort Resolution, and the following eupmer, accompanied by | an unknown route to Great Bear Lake and made a geological exploration of its northern shores, returninpg to civi- lization via a previously ufitraveled portage route to the north arm of Great Blave Lake, the Athabaska Riv- er and Edmonton. His party arnved at the latter place so late in the win- ter that oousiderable fears were en- tertained for their safety. On this trip Dr. Bell suffered great hardships, he and his party being sev- eral times threatened with starvation. The i results accomplished were very valuable, and Dr. Bell's report of his Expedition is one of the most valu- publications of the Dominion Geological Burvey. The pluck and ekill he showed during this trip at tracted world-wide attention, and al- | most as soon as he had completed his report he was appointed geologist to the Lake Superior Corporation | with headquarters at Sault Ste. Marie. { In 1908 he was engaged by the Gav- | ernment of Outario to direct the pro- vincial survey of the region south of James Bay, and the following year he was attracted to New Ze a the offér of the appointment of id tor of the Geological Burvey of New Zealand. He resigned the position a few months ago and has removed to London to take up practice as a con- sulting mining expert, but hopes to spend some time every year in Can- ada and eventually to retire from practice and take up he residence at Almonte. Dr. Bell's work in New Zea- land was attended with great sue cess, the geological survey being plac. ! ed upon an entirely new footing, and the mining interest as a result receiv. ing a considerable impetus. --Fanily Herald.
