Two men dreamed. it and planned it, bringing otliers to hava faith in their dream and help in fits fulillment. Thelr individual re. Sources at first were a mere hothing, Now the pioneer dreamer, William Mackenzie, is Bir William, and Don- ald Maan, the builder, is Sir Donald; the railway system they created is valued at $400,000,000, and they be. lieve that its real expansion has only just begun. Already it enters one Pacific port, Vancouver, and a second outlet to the north is projected. It will feed the Government line now building to Port Nelsen on Hudson Bay. It touches the Great Lakes, en- ters Quebec and Montreal, has feed- runs south across the border into the United States.' And the country it has opened up In the West has possi- bilities unbounded. The system formally opened busi- ness last October by sending a re- cord-breaking passengef train bear- adian Parliament from Quebec to Vancouver and back Again; The train itself was a full quarter of a mile long. It was carried over the Racky Mountains, the bane of trans. continental railroad builders, by a single locomotive, one not even of the greatest capacity in the system's equipment. From the terminal in Quebec, close by the old palace of the French In- tendents of the colony, crossing the river where Cartier wintered his ships In days now a sacred memory in the province, the line s through the familiar scenery of old Canada, through well-established and pros- perous farming communities into Montreal. There a mountain has been tunneled and a block of build- ings is being displaced to give the vew railway a palatial station in the heart of the city.

It Is popularly supposed that the coat-of-arms of Canada consists of the arms, joined as Quarterings, of all the provinces which form Con- federation. This igea has, to a cer- tain extent, been confirmed by the semi-official endorsement given in | many Government publications, but | it is none the less erroneous, for the Quarterings are confined to the orig- | inal four provinces--Nova Scotia, | New Brunswick, Quebec, and Ontario ---which, on July 1, 1867, were unit- ed by the British North American Act into the arms of only these four provinees. In the upper left-hand | corner, or quarter of the shicld, are | the arms of Ontario, which consist | of a sprig of three leaves of maple on a green background, and above them the red cross of St. George on a silver background. In the other upper quarter are the arms of Que- | bee, consisting of the fleur de lis, the | lion "passant gardant" on a gold | background, and below the lion ga | 8prig of three maple leaves, In the lower left quarter, and below the arms of Ontario, are the arms of { Nova Scotia, consisting of two | thistles on a blue background, below this is a salmon, and a thistle on a | blue background. In the other lower corner, and below the arms of Que- | bec, are the arms of New Brunswick, | SHAPE OF MOUTH. That Feature Wil Tend To- ward Pretty Shape. The beauty of the mouth depends] immensely upon human nature, ! Thought and emotion are the acip-} tors of the mouth, so that if the heart | and mind incline too much toward, the unlovely of. life, the secret can never be hidden, Emmerson tells us that the mouth (through ennobling | thought, of course) is capable of the! greatest béauty. With Wrong emo- tions, emphasizing qualities appear! lu the cheeks and chin, so that al happy and pure mouth, or a bitter and coarse one, may change the very formation of the entire countenance. The habit of grimacing is greatly to be deplored, for even a beautiful Woman can spoil her face by some | habitual contortion of the mouth, while for a genuinely ugly woman to do this seems an actya) presumption, | SO grotesquely and cruelly plain will | she appear, ! The mouth of a well bred person is | sealed with the very spirit of repose when it is not called upon to per- | form any of the duties Inherent tol the flesh, and those who ignore this | widespread opinion are likely to be classed at last among the "vulgar bred."
