Ams PROVINCES, TNIMING THE History Domision. Kanata, as Glimpses of of Our Own Canada (ot if may be | written) is the plural of the Mchawk word Kanonsa, a bouse When Jacques Cartier sailed up the St Lawrente, a chief came on board his wonderful winged cinoe, and of him Cabot 'enquired, with hand toward om huts shore, 'What Rin is this?" the chief, not clearly replied, "Kanata," leaning the huts and Kanata or Canada the thenceforth was and still is. Iroquois, who then possessed banks of the St. Lawrence, called Kandnsiauni, the peaple onthe to which were wigwams, but in huts, 'made large enough to accommodate several families, and lengthened from time to time as the families increased. A: post office ia the County of Frontenac has the name of Canonte, which is apparently a varied form of Kanonsa or Kanata. Bit "Adanac"" is absolutely inadmissible. «Nova Scotia was named Markland the first discoverers, but received its present: name from Scottish im- migrants te offset Nouvelle France and New England. The name was probably chosen by Sir Willlam Alexander (Earl of Stirling), of whom descendénts still survive in ada, some in Toronto. Interesting facts are connected with the name. Acddia. Verrazzano, an Italian navigator, in the service of Francis I. of France, discovered the land sin 1524 and named it "Ar- cadia "for the beauly of the trees." It seems odd that an Italian in the (| service of Frante should give a rewly-discovered land the name of |} an ancient Greekwillage, and that for a reason which might have served quite as well for the selection of the name of any one of places innumer- able. It is dificult to understand how "Arcadia' was later rendered Acadie or Acadia, but the change was} a good one, the latter name being admirable and apparently unique, and it has never been forgotten, and! although it is mot written on our maps, there may be a possibility of its revival in place of the. very ob jectionable and inappropriate names of Novd Scotia and New WHrunswick if those provinces should beconte united as oné province, as has been at some tite suggested. It is an odd coincidence that Acadie is so similar to some native place names that it has been Supposed to be a partly obsolete word of an Indian language meaning "Land of Plenty." New Brunswick was named in hon: or of connections of thé royal family in a former generation. Erinee Edward Island bears the} name of the Duke of Kent, father of Queen. Victoria. Quebec was given the name of the principal city in 1867. Ontario at the sate date took the name 'of the "Beautiful lake" Manitoba, also taken from the name of a lake, when the province weds erected; the name means the Voice of God. McLean, in 'Canadian Savage Folk," gives a lengthy ex- planation with a slight difference of signification, which, however, is much the same in the result. Saskatchewan was given the name of its great river; "the swiftsFunning river." Alberta was named in honor of the late Pringe Consort. British Columbia calls for no par- ticular remark, further than that the name Columbia has reachéd a very long distance from its place of origin. Vancouver Island bears the name of a British naval officer, who surveyed the adjacent seas and inlets. = The island was known to the Indians as Katchutegua, 'the plain," Athabasca ha§ been explained as a geographical term, describing a land dotted 'here and there" with swamps and muskegs. Perhaps somewhat of a libel by giving such features an undue prominence; there are plenty of swamps and muskegs in other pro- vinces, Keewatin means "the north." The | name would have been better and more dignified as "Keewaydin," Old-Time Prodigality. Among the once necessities of farm life that reflected prodigality in the use of valpable timber was the old rail fence, Like many other almost bygones of rural life, its place in farm wastefulness now is well established, £4 yet it had its uses for which the present siraight-line wire fencing cannot qualify. > e old rail fence's serrated stretches were the home of small animal life that now is rapidly dis- appearing. Around its timbers there grew the uncultivated blackberry, with its sister the raspberry, and among its recesses there thrived the elder, whose fruit once was coveted for pie material and whose blossoms were the foundation tor elderberry wine that matrons served of a win- ter evening when the neighbors gathered.
