Their only flesh load is salt pork, except when a deer comes too near the clearings. Then, in season or out of season, there is ven- iscm ' for the Poles. It is alleged that the lordly moose also meets the same fate. ' The Poles were brought to Canada. some years ago when Mr. John R. Booth Was building the Parry Sound Railway. When the construction Was completed a number of the navvies decided to remain in Canada, and took up land grants in the rear Ren- trew townships. They. still maintain their national customs. One of these he did not adopt the army as a pro- fession. Had he done go, he must have risen to eminence.

They were Just the corps for that work, and he was just the man to com- mand them oflectiYely. I realized at the time that no similar number of regular cavalry could have done that duty as edectively. But he was a man in a. thousand, and a born eav- alry leader.” 0!

Denison, of Toronto, is spoken of in the most complimentary terms. Says Lord Wolseley; - , ”One of the ablest, and, profession- nlly, one of the best read amoers I ever know is Col. George Denison, of Toronto, who for many years com- mended the Governor-General of Canada's Body Guard. The descend- ant of many generations of gallant Doldieu who have, during the eigh- teenth and nineteenth centuries, fought for the British Crown in Can- ada. he would have been a. military leader of note in any army he join- ed.‘ It is much to be regretted that .â€"'__ _._ 7 _ 7 is connected with weddings.

The New Toronto Clearing House in the building of the Bank of Bri- tish North America, corner of Yongo and Wellington streets, was opened for business on a recent morn- lng in the last month of 1903. The clearing house is situated on the first: flat above the ground floor, and is a handsome, spacious apartment 49 by 45 feet. The room is well lighted by large windows and the furnishings are all done in finely polished quart.- er-cut oak. the wall panelings being of oak, and green and red plaster, and the floor of polished wood. In a semi-circle round the room are _arâ€" Hucapplos. - Pineapples grow so plentifully in Natal at certain seasons that it. is not worth while carting them to market, and they are often given to the pig-s in couequonoo. EXCHANGING BANK PAPER. Here is how the System is worxec: Each bank id represented by two clerksâ€"one, a. messenger, who brings ‘with him the checwcs, drafts, etc. that his bank has received the day previous upon the other banks, which are called the "exchange," and are assorted for each bank and placed in envelopes. The messengers taketheir places in a. line outside of the semi- circle ot desks, each opposite the desk assigned to his bank, while on the opposite side of each desk is a. ~h_,_A-.I 'L-o ‘h... ranged the desks for the various banks,_ whllo near the centm is the desk to: , tho manager, Mn.

The hour for making the exchang- es or general delivery is 10 a.m. Just previous to that time the man- ager takes his position at an elel’at- ed desk near the centre of the' chamâ€" ber and calls the house to order. _, At, the stroke of ten each messenger moves forward to the desk next his own and delivers the envelopes con- taining the cheques, etc., for the the clerk on the inside.
