POTS and PANS§ _ _ and SINKS _ , scenic At all grocers 10¢ large package + The first reference to the Thousand ;lslnnds on meps in the collection of 'the Geographic Board of Canada is one by de Lery dated 1727, where "Les Mil Isles" are indicated. Few of the Islands possessed names before the war of 181214 with the United States. After the war Captain Wm. Fitzwilâ€" | Him Owen (177441857) surveyed lake Ontario for the Admiralty in 1815 and 181¢, following this up in 1818 with a survey of the St. Lawrence river beâ€" tween lake Ontario and Cornwall. The lmsuns of his survey of the #iver apâ€" ‘pear on a chart in five sheets, pubâ€" ll'. hed in 1828, which shows that he {had thought out an ingenious scheme [ of nomenclature for the is‘ands, the result of which was the entwining of | the history of the war with the geogâ€" iraph of the region. l The group of seventeen or more isâ€" llands at Brockville named about 1812 after Major General Sir Isaac Brock, ihe called the Brock group, giving to |the individual islands the names of In the neighborhcod of Gananoque, Owen named the Adiniralty group, the Lake Fleo! group and the Navy is lands. In the Admiralty group are commemorated various members of the governing body of the British navy at the tie, including Viscount Melvilie and Charles Philip Yorke. Islands in the Lake Pleet group were given the names of the veszels that had formed part ol the British fleei on the Great lake», such as Aspagia, Astounder, Belatkourer, Bloodletter, and Deathâ€" dealer, while the Navy islands wore named after naval ofMcers, including Downie, Collier, Mulcaster, Fisher, Popham, and Spilsbury. Higher up came the Hydrographer group of some nine is‘ands, in which thoso commemorated include Owen himself and his assistant, Bayfeld. The Indian group includes Tecumseh is:and. Another group _ was called the Old Friends and another the Amaâ€" teur islands. various officers who had seen service in the war, such as Cockburn, Conran, de Rottenburg, de Watteville, Everest, Sheaffe, Sparrow, Stovin, and Skelâ€" ton. above Brockville. The first name ?moans "The Thousand Rocks," the pocond "The Thousand Islands." Both vre in use toâ€"day, the former in the criginal French form as the name of a village, the latter in the English form. And just. as the word "Thousand" is used in the one case to designate the numerous rocks in the river at this point, so it is to be understood in the second casg as indicating not that there are 1,000 islands, more or less, but only a large number. Modern usage applies the name to the islands, small and large, on the stretch of the river between Brockvillo and Kings ton, but the name signified, originally, the smaller islands on the shorter stretch between Brockville and Ganâ€" anoque.

To be a builder does not mean that one must be the commanding spirit in an enterprise of magnificent dimenâ€" sions. One who fashions a little house as well as one who rears a stately pal ace, is a builder; all who labor with consclience for a product of beauty confer a benefit, though the thing they miuke may be diminutive. Seen from the vast arches of heaven, the works we deem stupendous are no larger than the mounds that are made by tailing ants. The work we do will not be regarded and valued, now or afterâ€" ward, by the mere size of It. The celestial scale of values takes account of the spirit wrought by the builder, rich or poor, mighty or lowly, into the fabric of character and life as woll as into the things we touch and see.
