She} also owned a coveted family heirloom, an old jug. She was a cantankerous old despot, who knew all the sad, fantastic! and tragic stories of the clan, and had a vile habit of referring in company to. whatever incident in your life you were. most anxious to forget.

PRESENTS FINE PROGRAMME Attendance A somewhat belated blizzard marred the attendance at the annual concert of the Young Woman’s Auxiliary, which oi the Young Woman’s Auxiliary, which was presented at Knox church, on Monday evening. Those who ventured out, however, were well repaid. The pro- gram was interesting and entertaining. The Auxiliary was divided into two sides, each presenting a program of their own choice. The pastor, Rev. W. IH. Smith, was in the chair, and after a few brief remarks announced that‘ the group under the leadership of Mrs. Morlock and Mrs. McGirr would pre- sent their portlon of the program. Their opening selection was “A Japan- ese Love Song." a chorus by eight of 'their number. Mrs. B. Stoneouse then gave a reading. The play which fol- some advice on "Managing a Hus- band.” A duet by Mrs. Stoneouse and Mrs. McGirr was most enjoyable, their 1 program concluded with a pantomime entitled, “The Holy Night.” The side headed by Mrs. Catton and . Miss Lennox then took charge of the program. Their Opening number was , ; most original and amusing. It was en- ltitled “Looking Backward." A play, A number, “Ten Little Boys,” was unique and pleasing. Perhaps the most beautiful of the evening’s entertain- ment was their final offering, “The Challenge oi the Cross.’ It was in the form of a dialogue and very clearly portrayed the willingness of many who would carry the Cross providing it was not too much of a burden in their‘ worldly activities. The judges, Mrs. W. C. Almack and Miss J. M. Weir gave their decision, and expressed the difficulty in choos- ing the better program. However. they announced that the side headed by Mrs. Morlock and Mrs. McGirr were the winners, and as a result a very happy group of young ladies are look- ing forward eagerly to a good feed.

From Quebec to Montreal the distance is 160 miles. Owing to the shallowness of the‘ water on a portion of the river between 1 these two places, particularly through Lake St. Peter. vessels drawing more than ten or twelve feet of water were formerly barred from passage for the greater part of the season of naviga- ;tion. In 1826 the question of deepen- ing the channel was first definitely rooted. But it was not until 1844 that any dredging operations were begun. In that year the deepening of a new straight ehannel was commenced. but the scheme was abandoned in 1847. In 1851 the deepening of the present chano nel was begun. At that time tne OCpul feet six inches. By the year 1869 the 1 depth had been increased to twenty ‘ feet, by 1882 to twenty-five feet and .by the close of 1888 the depth of twen- ‘ty-seven and one-half feet at low . water was attained for a distance of , 108 miles. from Montreal to a point within tidal influence. The work is now being continued by Government which in 1888 assumed the indebtedf ness incurred. The channel has a mini- mum width of 300 feet. extending to 550 feet. At points of curvation it is lighted ‘and buoyed. Montreal has by this work been! placed at the lead of ocean navigation and here the canal system of the River 3813.

The depth of the canal between locks is now adapted to vessels of fourteen feet draught. with two distinct systems of locus. 'l‘ne old and the enlaged. There are two lock entrances at each end. The canal extends from the city of Montreal to the Town of Lachine, over- coming the St. Louis rapids, the first of a series of rapids which bar the as- cent of the river St. Lawrence.

The placing of fourteen feet as the‘ maximum depth for the canals seems strange in the light of today. But it must be nemembered that when the system of canals was designed it was lsup-posed that a fourteen-foot water- ?way would be ample for all time upon ‘ the Great Lakes. The depth which at that time vessel men were looking forward to upon the lakes was a uniform one of twelve feet. The great fleet carriers were not even a dream then of the most daring of minds.
