Boonâ€"“Yes I notice as rapidly as Canada is making it- self really known and understood to and by all the civilized world, as, for all practical purposes, it is an independent entity, with a future 3?th and development, social and financial, that will not be eclipsed by any other people. “While New York has been talking canals for years.

Indlans Dying Out. The Indian tribes of British Co- lumbia, tortured by insidious dis- ease, for the introduction of which the whites are primarily responsible, and face to face with the fact of rapidly diminishing numbers that bespeaks extinction in the near fu- ture, are adopting heroic measures in the hope of check-mating fate. It is not race suicxde in the gen- eral acceptance of the term that is to blame, but the usual penalty of the red race when it touches the white, for the vast majority of the tribes are by constitutional disease ruined, and when children are born they are unhealthy from birth. It may be of interest to Cana- dians to know that although the met- ric system was first applied in France, the idea was that of a great Englishman. At the Imperial Confer- ence in London two years ago. when representatives were present of the British Government [and all the self- governing colonies. the following re- solution was adopted: “That it is advisable to adopt the metric system of weights and mea- sures for use within the Empire, and the Prime Ministers represented at this conference promise to give con- sideration to the question 0! its early adoption." Thinking men of the tribes are seeking external remedies, and the adoption of white children by stealth â€"varied with an occasional out-and- out purchaseâ€"is becoming common. Only a few years ago the chiefs and sub-chiefs of one of the Vancouver Is- land west coast tribes united to pay Peter llellinger $4,000 for his five- year-old son, who was received with honor, elected a chief with elaborate ceremony and alloted six wives, the sturdiest young women of the tribe, in order that extinction might be averted. The boy“ was rescued by vci States the reform is being advo- cated. A bill providing for the abo- lition of the British system, as the old tables are called, was accepted by both Houses of the Imperial Par- liament this year, and at the apâ€" proaching session there is every rea- son to believe that the measure will pass all stages and become the law of the land. Committees of Congress have reported in favor of the metric Bthem being made compulsory throughout the United States, but inquiry has shown that the domestic trade of the Union is stronglv oppos- ed to the change, knowing nothing of the advantages they would them- selves reap by doing business on this, the simplest, clearest, and most com- plete system of measuring that the mind of man ever devised. the provincial police and the was left disconsolate. Two white travelers roturned from (zuatsino last week with the. news that in all that once nllllll‘l‘UHS tribe there is now only one child, a boy; and after a long and intol'vSting pow-wow, the Iluldahs of Queen Charlotte Island ham sent their lit- tle girl to Quatsino to be his play- mate and bride “I am fasciiiatcd with the country as it is toâ€"day and am astounded when I study the possibilities of its future. “It must be comedui that the great majority of people, both of Great Britain and the United States, have looked upon Canada as a drear, cold, barren country, and the inhabitants of the provinces have been unfortu- nately unable to fully cxtirpate such impressions, and while these delu- sions to a large extent still exist, they are rapidly passing away, just An Outsider 0- Canada. The Hon. Charles I). Ilainos of New York, a former member of the Unit- ed States Congress, said 'in Toronto the other day: “My impression of Canada, in part or as an entirety,‘ both as to country and people can but be inadequately expressed by us- ing the word grunt. One of the most important fea- tures of Canadian legislation will be the adoption in the very early fu- ture of the metric system of weights and measures. Steps are already be- ing taken to supply the school child- ren with a knowledge of the metric tables, but ample notice will have to be given to business men before the change becomes operative. This no- tice may be five years, or the Gov- ernor~in-Council may have power to make the transition stage even long- er than that. The reform is one, how- ever, that must almost inevitably come. The civilized world, outside of Britain, the British colonies, and the United States, to-day knows no oth- er system of measuring than the met- Me.
