These people, however, took advantdge {of this to trap and shoot all they feould When warned, they still eon- { tinued to disobey the regulations, and {finally had to be put off the island altogether, At the time the case caus. {ed a great sensation, as it was alleged {that Menier's+ action had been based ton religious grounds, But religion { had nothing to do with it. The up- {shot of it all was that these people | were removed from the island and {given farms in the west with houses, { eattle, horses, implements, seed and provisions for a year.

NIAGARA'S MUSEUM, : ---- it 1: One of the Most Interesting Spots In Canada. The first building erected in Ontario for purely -historical purposes is sit tated facingh the military & camp grounds. It contains more than five thousand articles of historical ioter- est. Thousands of visitors go to the Chateau de Ramezay in Montreal every year. to see the collection of his- torical reli of Lower Canada, but that collection is in ho way superior to that contained in Memorial Hall, Niagara, presided over by Miss Janet Carnochan, whose personal charm and devotion 10 the cause is responsible | for a large percentage of these valued relics. Miss Carnochan thinks that the most interesting relic in the sn- tire collection is Gen. Brock's cocked hat. She also prizes very highly the sword given up at the capture of Forl | Niagara in 1813. and the first novel published in Upper Canada. Then there is tue coat worn Ly Fort Major Campbell, who surrendered with Corn- wallis at Yorktown in 1781. A collee- tion of military buttons gives the military history of Niagara, for they repaesent nearly all the regiments, British. United States, or Canadian; which fought or were stationed there. A recent addition to the collection is tha brass kettle in which Laura Se- cord hid the gold when her home was attacked by Indians; and, two beausi- ful silver table spoons owned by the Secord family, as well as the Becord family hamper, were Museum only a shortly time ago. Oth. er peculiarly interesting articles are one of the two tit harpiscords in Upper Canada, an old table, an old mantle with crave, hand-bills and posters printed by Williap~ Lyon Mac- kenzie, a collection of very old books, letters and official papers, the first paper published in Upper Canada, ihe Gazette, and an old library record book of the first collection of hooks in Upper Canada. 1t may be incident- ally mentioned that the very first newspaper published in Upper Canada was issued at Niagara-on-the-Lake in 1793. There is a case of women's 'lothing which eclipses any collection in any other museum in Canada, not excepting the Chateau de Tamezay. Fort Niagara was visited by La Salle in 1678; erectel by the French in 1725; taken by assault by the British iu 1769; given up _by treaty in 1796; ake by the Detlish in 1813, by as sault, alter th? brrring of Niagara; wid given up Yo the United States by treaty in 1815 The house iy which the Count de Puisayes lived was built in 1799 and still stands mitact. Mc". land's house was built 1715900, and used as a hos. pital in thé war. The Masonic build. ing on KitJg street is still sizbstantial, despite thd fact that it has stood since 1816, ond site used for the first hall in 179% Butler's barracks are to be seen ere, with some of the buildings erected 'before the war. The eantennary celebration of the hundred years of peace between Can. ade and the United Ltates is to be ceisbrated soon, and there is no doubt "ut that such a celebration should be held at Niagara. Of course, there are other historical places in the immedi. ule vicinity. Seven miles away is {ineenston Heights, while Tundy's Lane, Beaver Dam, and other places claim distinetion; but the real centre of historical interest, and the place where history was made for Upper Canada, is Niagara-on-the-Lake. A Ragged Republic. Hulbert Footner, whose great Cana- dian story. of 'New Rivers cf the North," is now running in The Out- look, had some interesting experiences on the road and on board the cou. struction train. He says: "We rode on the uncomptomising wooden seats of au emigrant car, and the train averaged exactly seven miles an hour for mine hours, but it was impossible to be bored. Never was there a more interesting carful, pioneers for the most part, with their faces turned toward the frontier and radiating an atmosphere of hopeful- ness. We were entranced by the scraps of conversation thit reached our ears; how so-and-so had succeed- ed in establishing the old Indian trail to the headwaters of the Big Smoky; how somebody else had made a strike in the valley of the Grand Forks. I remember on'* one woman on the train, the wife of the storekeeper at Tete Jaune Cache, who had her baby with het, undoubtedly ths youngest She had a drive of a hundred and twenty-five miles through the pass before her. "We were reminded anew of the advantages of rough clethes as a passport on the road. /Good clothea cut the wearer off from his fellows like a wall, The more fashionably clad, thé more of an_ outcast he be- comes. But let him put on a cheap or a 'ragged habit and go into the streets, and delightful adventures will crowd on him.

Sir Alan Aylesworth, in preparing th: address he made the other night at the graduation dinr sr of the Uni- versity College Class of 1912. made an inturesting discovery in, the British North America Act. He was dealin with grat: foreign relations, an he locked ovr the Act to freshen his memory on our constitutional statis in this connection. In section 13% he found' the phrase, "as part of the British Empire." He knew that some such reference was there, but the significances of tha phi had never struck him so fully befor, and it ap- peared in the light of a discovery. "It js exiremely interesting." says Sir Alan, "to note that as back ua 1867. hefore the British sovereign had been officially referred to as reigning aver an Empire or 'over 'Dominions beyond the seas," Canada was describ- gin our constitution as 'part of the itish Efpire' " Wants Reading Matter. ot Rakai. io aseaess: or aby ps along the Thomp- . ome are ald "CANADA'S MACE, nia of Authority.

David Mills. He was then, as | now, a remarkable studeni of muni. | cipal law, and was so successful in| its interpretation that not infrequent | ly. ie was credited by other members wh. had not his personal acquaint | ance with being a legal man. Two good stories are told by the veterans | in this respect.

Bmith is kept busy with a sort of Indian club exercise i thinking to annihilate the critic, be- mgthoving the mace from the table | and hanging it on the hooks down | at the end and then taking it from the hooks and restoring it to the ta. | bie. On such a day as that Col. Smith is the busiest man in Ottawa, and when all js over, sometimes about midnight, he has nothing to show for his labor except a wilted collar and a few sparkling bite of gold-dust ground into the palms of his white gloves from handling the great gold- en bauble. . Golden it is from top to bottom, but how far through no man knows ex- cept the Sergeant-at-Afms. Gold through and through he evidently be- lieves it to be, judging from the care he takes of it. It certainly looks like solid gold, and it lifts like it, W- though ¢ne has to admis that one's experience in lifting huge chunks of pure gold is rather limited. , - Like almost everything se that shares this world with man, "that pendulum betwixt a smile and a tear," the macé has known troubles, has confronted danger, and has suffered loss. Some seventy years ago all that there was { Canada were the two old Provinres--Upper and Lower Canada «whose Legislature consisted of a House of Assembly and a Legislative | The mace in use in our! Couneil. House of Commons is t'> one that was used in that old House of Assem- bly: of United Canada. For a number of years Toronto and Quebec were alternately thé seat of Government. The mace became a wanderer, but fically a permanent resting place was found, when, in 1865, the present Houses of Parlia- ment were completed in Ottawa. Then the mace, when. the House was not sitting, was snugly tucked away in a stout little cabinet prepared for it in the Speaker's apartments, or tenderly deposited on a green velvet cushion at the lower end of the Clerk's tabis when the Bpeaker is. in the chair, or deposited on two velvet-covered hooks that project from the legs of the table at about a foot below the level of the top. There has been a mace for more thai hall a century. Around it has grown up the city of Ottawa, changed by the presence of the golden "bau- ble" from little, sawmill settlement of Bytown into the national capital of our great Dominion. Around the mace has been built up all our federal statutéty law, which bound in buff hali-calf, looks so pretty on & library shelf, and around it has been debated ever ing all these years has tended to make or mar the fortunes of our country.

On the street car the other day Mr. Morrow was accosted by a man who evidently had scant. faith in the preacher's flaetness of fool. In plaid words: he .spoke his doubt. "Mr..Mor- row is always game, and he asserted that he was still able to rua a bit. "Tut!" said the man. "I can beat yeu myself, 1H bet you $2 for your new church furds that I can beat you in 100 yarde."

A few ses. ! sions later another similar incident oe- was made a victim of the brilliant repartee of the member for Bothwell. The House was considering Hon. Syd- { though they sat upon the same side of the House, Farmer Clancy and Lawyer Fowler found themselves at issue on the measure. Mr. Clancy, in his customary finish. ed style, was apalysing the provisions of the er legislation, and sug- | gesting amendments which he deemed to be in the interests of the agricul. turists. : Mr. Fowler rose in protest. "It is | all very well," said he, with withering ' satire, "for my honorabls friend an others of his legal calling, to pose as | i farmers." ? i Mr. Clancy could not resist a re- turn thrust. "If," he observed ih his quiet way, "I did not have better suc- cess than has my honorable friend in posing as a lawyer The rest was drowned in laughter. --- oh A Curious Mishap. Not long since two Edmonton Boy Scouts 'had quite an adventure on a homestead about a hundred miles from . Edmonton, one of the Ids be: ing Lawrence Vance and the other Cecil Wall. Vance and Wall had leit their tent on a trip to the nearest centre to ob- tain further supplies, and on their return found that the tent had been broken into, and by no less a marau- der than a big black bear, which was later seen by some other homesteaders prowling about the neighborhood. The ¢anvas was torn in several places by the huge claws of this ani- mal, but that was not such a loss to these boys as the entire disappear- ance of a large sack of home-made doughnuts. The funny part of the selection of eatables on the part of Bruin was that his lordship sniffed at the bak- ers' bread, six loaves of which were reposing peacefully in the immediate vicinity of the doughnuts, and after taking a bite carelully out of each ! loaf, with equal precision spat it out aghin upon the of the tent. Bakers' bread was not "in it' for a minute with mother's doughnuts, said Mr. Bear. The four-footed visitor helped him self also to bacon and sugar, and while -& made away with all the sugar he could find, did not seem to think very highly of the bacon. | The funniest thing of all, thought the boys"on their return, was the dis. covery that Bruin had evidently stood before the looking-glass for some time trying to make friends with the "other bear"--as he thought--who peered at "Apey came to this conclusion was from thy numerous signs of "licks" on the Another instance of clos. observa. tion on the part of Boy Beouts, or any valuable Hon.
