The lové missives of men ave enough to turn the regard of a sepsible woman to hatred. Are women who accept and endure this sort of thing, there fore, as much at fault as the men?

They were discovered by Mr. Rob ert J. Flaherty, F.R.G.S., and Mr, La Duke, who experienced considerable hardship and danger in the discovery The accomplishment required the courage and calmness that have made both successful explorers, The islands contain a tribe of Fskimos peculiar to the region. As late as 1668 the old charts of Henry Hudson and others showed three large islands outlying from the Un- gava seaboard of Hudson Bay. The discoveries of Sir William's expedi tion are, it would seem, really a re discovery of the islands, and it means that this range of islands has prae- tically been lost to the world for twe centuries. it seems strange in these days when the world "is so small, after all," that new river:, new lands and new lakes are being discovered. It is astounding that these discoveries take place within 890 miles of To- ronto.- But yet that is what has been done by these two explorers, The story of the discoveries of Champlain have a great place in the history of Canada, and it was thought that the day of the geographical explorer was gone, but the story told recently adds more to the history of Canadian ex- ploration. Here is an area of more than 4,000 square miles, not in an uninhabitable latitude beyond the circle, but within the latitude .of Edinburgh, in Scot. land, and a few miles north of the latitude of Prince Rupert, in British Columbia. Perhaps this discovery may give the readers a clear idea of the immensity of the Hudson Bay it- self--an inland sea of more than 350,000 square miles. The story of how these islands were utlimately found jus: before the termination of the third and last expeditions (these expeditions cov- | ered a period of four years) is fascin- ating to a degree. Of the discovery Mr. Flaherty said: "We made out three big islands. The main island, topographically, is a series of ranges paralle! to its length, with a maximum height of 700 to 800 feét., In formation it is similar to the land masses on the north shore of Lake Superior, particularly on | Thunder Bay. It is covered with | grasses and Arctic vegetation. From the height to which we climbed we could see rolling land masses, stud- ded with silver lakes, which appeared to be great breeding places for wild swan and geese and ducks. "The part we explored is not in- habited by Eskimos, but on an island to the westward we found old stone | igloos, partly in ruins, and elaborate stone wind-blinds, used by the Eski- mos in goose-hunting. The whole is- | land area is mora thar 4,000 square ! miles in extent, with a complete length north and south of nearly 400 miles; that is, from the South Bel chers, latitude 55 degrees north, to latitude 60 degrees north of the Ot- tawa Islands. Looking from the hill- | tops of the main island over sweeps of valley and rise one got an impres- sion of highly cultivated areas, but that was due to the green moss and grass that covered almost every- thing." The results of the first expedition to Hudson Bay were responsible for | the outfitting of a more elaborate ex- pedition via Northern Ontario and Moose Factory. A small 36-foot auxi- liary schooner is being equipped at | Moose Factory for the purpose. { Poor Season For Seals. | Wireless reports received at Sf. John's, Nfid., within the last few days from the sealing fleets indicate : favorable. The steamers of the east- | ern fleet after working their way | through the ice for some 250 miles ' up. the eastern coast of Newfound- land, became jammed in the heavy floes off Cape St. John, at the north- ern point of Notre' Dame Bay, and about 125 miles south of the easterly entrance to the Strait of Belle Isle. Five hunndred seals taken by the steamer Florizel recently comprise her total catch. In the average sea- | son the eastern fleet capture about | 30,000 seals by the middle of March. The vessels of the western fleet made litle or no catch, Letters To Hostile Countries.

William Diack, the Scottish writer, | in the winter quarter issue of The Scottish Review, published at Perth, once the capital of the ancient king- dom, discusses the long standing sympathy existing bétween France and Scotland as a result of the "auld alliance" and incidentally touch on a piece of history which indirectly plays a large part in the story of! Canada. Mr. Diack recounts the story of the depopulation of the Highland glens, whence came in the wars of the eighteenth century, and during the Napoleonic conflict so many thousands of Britain's best and brav- est warriors. The Scottish lairds bé writes, have discovered io their dismay, that, in the hour of national peril, grouse and deer are but poor substitutes for the stalwart High- landers, who, in bygone days, march- ed forth to battle from the hills and glens of Scotland. A writer in The Aberdeen Free Press, who had just returned from a visit to the western Highlands, and been strongly :im- pressed, with the response of these people to 'the call to arms, also wrote: "I have met instances which go in the ofher direction, and show how bitterly the iron of ancient wrong has entered into the soul of the Highland people. «2 "How few are the men the Highlands can send to-day,' that is the feeling 1 found expressed in several quarters among the people 1 spoke to. 'Why do they ask us for men? They have driven our men away." So sald a dweller in Arisaig to me. And 1| heard the same thing from a man ip Bunessan, in Mull, and again from a Loch Carron man, and the idea in another form was echoed by a man | from the shore of Loch Nevis, ' 'A hundred years ago Strathglass sent a regiment to fight Napoleon Why doesn't it do the same to-day? territorial magnate at the time of the South African war; and the answer was this: 'Well, your grandfather evicted them all.' "The Highlands, once ihe finest recruiting ground in Christendom, have been depopulated by the owners of the land. The old martial spirit still lives in the north, but the men are not there. The glens have been cleared and the islands transformed into 'sanctuaries for wild geese.' " The Highland clearances bad no small influence on Scottish settle- ments in Canada. They were respon- sible for the sfream of crofters who found homes in Huron, Bruce, and Simcoe counties of Ontario. Onee the channel had been opened, re- marked J. A. Stevenson, in the au- | tumn number of the same review, the stream continued, and all through the middle of last century, till the seventies, there was a con- | stant, if not vast, flow of emigration from both Highlands and Lowlands to the Province of Ontario. Scots- men have played no small part in the making of Canada, and, as Mr. Stev- enson says, in the pioneer stages of a country like Canada, the Scot was peculiarly fitted for the tasks of hew- ing the path to a new civilization. The Scot was more at home in the wilderneds than was the incomer Mailing from the more fertile and softer shores of England. To a man siccustomed to wrestle with a sterile goil and .an unfriendly climate, the soil of Ontario offéred as fertile land | as the best of the Lothians, and the Scottish emigrants with that pros- 'pect in sight nerved themselves to { the long and wearisome task of clearing the forest. They brought with them, too, their national char- acteristics and aptitude, as well as their spirit of independence, and the outcome has been a specially close kinship between Scotland and Can- ada among the British dominions, Timely Advice Agaist Weeds. "Conservation" gives some timely advice to Canadian farmers regarding the war against weeds. To overcome losses from weeds, |it says, or in a measure to curtail them, the following points should be © served: \ 1. Do not sow weed seeds; sow clean seed grain. 2. Do not allow new weeds to gain a foothold on the farm. 3. Prevent annuals from going to seed. 4. Practice a short rotation of crops including a sufficient amount of hoe crop to clean a good share 'of the farm each year. 5. Plow shallow immediately after haying and keep down all weed growth until gutumn.- Then plow again thoroughly and follow the next spring with a hoe crop. Gang plow shallow and work well just before planting. 6. Make use of smother crops such as heavy seedings of rape or buck- wheat.--F.C.N, His Day Has Arrived.
