Somali- land appears to be the most promis- ing of the Italian colonies owing to the abundance of irrigation the waters of the rivers Uebi Scebeli and Djeba admit. Preparatory work is going to be effected in the middle Sciddle region, located on the left side of the Uebi Scebeli river. Ten thousand hectares of ground are go- Ling to be converted into pastures for j cattle and a further 5,000 hec‘ares devoted to the growing of cotton, agave, sugar cane, doura, kapok and tobacco. The district population num- bers about 4,000 people and ar- rangements have been effected with local chiefs with a view to obtaining their hearty co-operation on a rea- sonable profit-sharing basis. For irrigation purposes a canal is going to be built which will admit twelve cubic meters of water per second, which means that about 27,000 gal- lons can be distributed every second. the The duke has returned to Somaliland. with technical advisers, and a great quantity of agricultural machinery and implements has been shipped to bia. “Mind Your P's and Q's.” The expression, ‘““Mind your P's and Q’s,”’ arose in the printing-house, where the small “p’” and “‘q” in Ro- man type have always confused the printer’s apprentice on account of their similarity in appearance when the type is mixed or “‘pied.” For this reason, one of the first instructions, given to the apprentice who aspired to become a printer was to ‘mind his p's and q’s’’—or, in other words, not to get them mixed so that cn would be interchanged in printin Additional emphasis was placed upon the phrase through the custom in taverns of keeping account of pur- chases of beer and ale throughout the week by writing a “PP” in the credit book for each pint of liquor sold but not paid for, and a “Q” for each quart. On Saturday, when men had re- ceived their pay, they would be greeted with the cry, “Mind your “P’s and Q’s"—a gentle method of informing them that no more drinks would be served until their accounts were seitled.

It is a miracle among Canadian cities in its rapid and steady growth; in its civic pride and consciousness, and in its bright future. It falls to a few centres of population to be the queen city for a thousand mile every hand in which to expand,-and with nothing to prevent it but the shores of Hudson's Bay_or the Arctic Ocean, or the western ‘mountains. What kind of a bill of fare has “the Peg” to offer a visitor? If it is so new, must it not follow that it is raw and crude and ingrtistic and therfore, uninteresting?*Nothing of the kind. Even if it is new, being a mere trading post as late as 1870, with a population then of only a few hundred, it has a historic background tinged with a romance that Is pecullarly western.
