The phenomenal prosperity of Man- chester 'is doubtlegs due to the Man- chester ship canal. Before that work was constructed the entire district was suffering from sévere trade de- pression. Mills were idle, industries at a standstill, and people leaving the distriet in great numbers. The open- ing of the canal marked a revival of trade which has continued ever since. It is stated that over 10,000 mills and other buildings were erected along the route in the first thrés years af. ter the completion of the canal.

What the Manchester ship canal has been to Manchester, the Georgian Bay Canal, giving a through deep water way to the head of the Lakes, will be to Montreal, Ottawa, Fort William and Port Arthur and the whole district through which it passes. --Ottawa Citi- zen. Romance In Finance.* The world of finance contains no more thrilling romance than that in which the central figure is Sir Ernest Cassel, whose recent gift of a park to Newmarket ii memory ¢@ King Edward, whose friendship he enjoy- ed for many years, is but one of many splendid acts of munificence: His father was a small banker at Cologne. At sixteen young Cassel came to England to earn his own liv- ing. He started in Liverpool, and then he went to London, and per- 'haps scores of people who read these lines will recall the time when he was a junidr clerk, getting fifteen shillings a week. When one of the London financial houses got into dil ~ficulties; the task of diséntangling the complications. was entrusted to the young man, and he did his work with such marked ability that he at once made a name for himsell. Since then his. progress has been phenomenal. Sir Ernest provided most of the funds for the mew Radium Institute in London, which was opened a short time ago, and he gave the $1,000,000 with which the late King Edward founded a sanatorium for the victims of tuberculdsis; whilst he gave an- other $1,000,000 for the establishment of an Anglo-German institute, : How self-reliant. Sir Erpest is is proved by the fact that in none of his colossal financial enterprises has he ever had.a partner, . ------------------ { Quaint Collections. ol The sum total of things collected is enormous. There are cheery old wiseaeres who spend their lives gath ering together peculiar plants, mak ing a collection that is never com- pleted, and the person who collects used railway tickets is becoming in- creasingly apparent, as reference fo the advertisements in our railway pe- riodicals will show, his spare time by collecting "reject" forms from the various papers 10 which he submitted his efforts, and eventually his study walls were so papered with thésé mournful mwemor- ands that it became necessary "for him either to move into larger quar ters or oghse his literary aspirations. Match boxes are almost as common as cigarette pictures as subjects for quaint collections, but fo ks who hoard up fountain pens are infre- quently met. 13 One venerable clergyman in Devon- shire spent the declining years of his life in amassing a vast dnd curious collection of chessmeén, his sets com- ing from all parts of the world; and another divine in a neighboring par- ish had a staff of representatives en- gaged in finding grandfather clocks all over the British Isles. -------------------------------------- ~~ Lucky Fifth Sons. Fifth dons born into families livin at Bawdsey, a Suffolk villare of inhabitants, will "in futute be born lucky. Sir Cuthbert Quilter has an- nounced that he will become god- father to each fifth son born on the Bawdsey estate, and invest $26 in the Pgstoffice Bavings Bank in the infant's name, to accumulate until: the age of twenty-one. : South African Peaches. !
