The market is P sestgsin: Bonsecours, rs honor of:the gray. old-time church which stands within hailing distance. The market is old, but the church is older, built in 1771 -in place *of an older edifice burned,in 1754. Here is where Montreal comes in as an his- ft toric town. The market comprises Jacques Cartier Square and a fine, old time-honored stone building, once a eity hall. It is a familiar landmark to thousands of Montrealers. Ik about your fairs, and national exhibi- tions, here is an exposition every law- ful working day. If you like the looks of cabbage, turnips, carrot, on- ions, chickens, ducks,. turkeys, all the. produce of the farm €xcept the.coars- er grains, all on their best behaviour, you will be delighted to take a stroll along these booths and peer around and perhaps buy something to hale home with you, if you are not single, | 8° but double. Outside you see rows of booths, on the north side'selling vege- tables and poultry mostly, on the south side, stores offering all sorts of Canadien and even foreign fruits. It resembles a main thoroughfare of an active business town with the shops réduced to its size. But every- thing is done here in the open. "You see the operations of the dealers from the streét as it were and it somehow increases your confidence in making purchases, you do not seem to take so much on faith, at least it looks that way on the surface. You will see two men in a booth piled high with cages holding the fea- thery denizens of the farmyard, crowing shrilly, or cackling wildly, and if you stand long enough you may see a long urm Se into a cage, extract a_ chic wring its neck, piuck Jt, and oes on the counter for sale.

The old market building was erect- ed in 1845 when Hon. J. Ferrier was mayor. Inside of its splendid central dome it bears inscribed Aae names of the Council, Mayor Ferrier, Alds. Linn, Trudeau, and Molson, and Councillors La roque and Currie. Montreal had "commission" ern- ment in those days, with the alder- men elected by the council, and acting as a sort of Board of Control, after the old English style which was done away with by the British Municipal Act of the thirtfes The old market house stood on the site of a hotel, several stores, and an opera house, where Charles Dickens recited from his works when he visit- ed Montreal in the thirties.

An interesting figure passed away recently in Toronto with the death of Captain O, G. V. Spain. He was one of Canada's few authorities on naval matters and coast defence, and had an active career as a sea fighter. As midshipman, he served on His Majesty's battleship "Minotaur" J. the Egyptian War in 1882, and first scented the smoke of battle. For brav- ery In is war, he was awarded the Khedive's bronze star. Im 1884-5 two years later, as Lieut. Spaih, he served on the "Dolphin" during oper- ations at Suakim in the East Soudan, and was again recognized for bravery in connection with a long-drawn-out defence of the army's water supply. When he retired from the British navy, Captain Spain was made com- .mander of the Canadian armed cruis- ing fleet, of eleven ships, guarding the fisheries on the Canadian coasts. In 1893, he was made Commission- er of Do@finion Police. Pn 1904, he was 'appointed wreck- commissioner for Canada, and a nautical member of the lighthouse board. In 1905, he "| was made commander of Canada's marine service. Rooster Travels Free, A red game rooster beat his way over the G.T.R. from West Toronto Junction to Guelph, but was arrested as soon as he arrived in the G.T.R yards. The rooster, flying up on the pliot of the engine as it stood at the water tank taking water, esconsed it- self above the cow-catcher, and as the train drew out of the. yards crowed lustily. It stuck to its post.until the train got to Guelph, where one of the train crew found it.
