tm 1z The Europern Continent eonz- butes most to the increase of Canada‘s population, it seems, although the general impression is that the greatâ€" est number of the Dominion‘s new settlicrs come from the British Isles. But the figures of Canada‘s Departâ€" ment of Immigration for the first six months of the fiscal year 1926â€"27 show that of the 90,886 immigrants who arrived in this period, only 85,393 came from the British Isles, while 42,â€" L07 came from the continent of Eurâ€" ove, and 12,986 came from the United States. Noting these facts, the Winâ€" nipeg "Manitobd Free Press" remarks on the flow of population between the United States and Canada that: "From the United States, however, returned to Canada to stay, after a residence south of the line of six months or more, 87,900 former Canâ€" adians, o whom $82,763 were natives o this country, 8.663 British subjects ormerly domiciled here, and naturalâ€" Ized Canadians, formerly resident, 1.562. "As is protty generally known, the countries of Europo are divided for immigration purposes by the departâ€" ment into two classes, known as preâ€" forred and nonâ€"preferred. The preâ€" ferred countries are the Scandinavian, Belgi im, and Holland. These also show a smaller number of newcomers than the #outhern on nonâ€"preferred countries. The two largest blocks of immigration in the period in qneotion come from the nonâ€"preferred counâ€" tries, the largest quotas being Ruâ€" thenian and CGerman respectively. The Arures for these are 6,639 of the forâ€" mer and 6,294 of the latter." The next two largest totals, this nowspaper points out, are also from nonâ€"preferred _ countries, namely.‘ Portugal and Poland, both furnishing n total of 3,686. The figure from the former country appears unusually large, it is said, and no record is available at the local immigration vffices of any of these people going through Winnipeg. We read then: "Nor are any Portuguese colonies known in the West. From Northern FEurope, Finland supplies 2,624, Norâ€" way 1,672, Sweden 1,550, Belgium 1,â€" 42%, and Holland 1,127. France proâ€" vided 340, or around 9,000 only from the preferred countries of the Conâ€" tinent "From the nonâ€"preferred countries, apart from the figures given, there were 3,002 Slovaks, 1,649 Jugoâ€"Slavs, 1,269 Italians, 82% Magyars, 660 Serbs, 792 Croats, 604 Lithuanians. Jews to the number of 7,792 came to Canada this summer, and a sprinkâ€" ling of lesser races contributed an odd settler or so; such as 130 Assyrâ€" ians, 40 Armenians, 17 Maltese, not to mention one Korean and one Mexâ€" "It seems to be quite apparent from: the figures quoted above that the harder it is for people of a race to come to Canada the more willing they are to make the effort to come here. As these figures cover the months in tho fiscal year in which the greatest immigration enters the country, it is improbable that the twelveâ€"month period will show any alteration in the percentages." can Th For Grandmither was Scotiand DOTM As she was Scotland bred; Though to a distant land she came To live when she was wed.

Cash Payments THE ONLY MEDICINE | BABY HAS HAD _ The Lord Chancellor‘s Seat. Is What Thousands of Mothers Say of Baby‘s Own Tablets. Once a mother has used Baby‘s Own Tablets for her little ones she will use nothing else. Experience teaches her that they are without an equal for re lieving baby of any of the many minor ailments which afflict him at one time or another. The Tablets never fall to be of benefitâ€"they cannot possibly do harm as they are guaranteed to be free from all injurious drugs. And the "woolsack" in the House of ‘Lordsâ€"most people would declare it | to be but a figure of speech, and there was "no such thing." Yet there is. It is a square sack filled with pure wool, ‘and on it the Lord Chancellor, as ‘"Speaker" of the Upper House, sits quite comfortably. Concerning Baby‘s Own Tablets Mrs, Russell Hil}, Norwood, Ont., says:â€""I sghall always have a good word to say for Baby‘s Own Tablats. I have given them to our baby girl. In fact they are the only medicine she has ever had and I am proud to say that she took second prize at our baby show. She is eleven months old and weighs 22 pounds. No mother whose child is peevish or ailing will make a mistake in giving Baby‘s Own Tablets." Baby‘s Own Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or direct by mail at 25 cents & box from The Dr. Williams‘ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. In the literal sense there is no "bar" in the House of Commons; it is but a brass rod let in the floor. Yet most people imagine it as & sort of walstâ€" high barrier. It was first placed in position in the reign of Edward IH. In his reign the great national industries were the weaving of woollens and the export of yarn. Thus, as a eymbol of what wool meant to Britain a sack of wool was placed in the House of Lords as a seat for the most important officer of the State. The custom has been mainâ€" tained ever since, with the slight variaâ€" tion of making the sack square and covering it with a red cloth. Japanese Sea Quakes Drive Away Food Fish. Continued earthquakes in Japan and the seas surrounding the island empire have frightened away many of the fish depended upon by the Japâ€" anese for most of their food supply, declare exporters on Pacific coast, who have received cable orders to rush canned, smoked and pickled herâ€" ring, salmon and even whale meat to the Orient. Catches of fish by Japanese fleets have fallen off ~this winter at an alarming rate, so much so as to cause the United States Government to susâ€" pect that the herds of fur seals harâ€" bored by Uncle Sam in the Bering Sea rookeries had something to do with the searcity. But scientists beâ€" lieve it is not fishâ€"eating seals but great carthquakes that have frightâ€" ened away or killed the great varieâ€" ties of Japanese fishes.

The garnet is usually looked upon as ‘ a precious stone but the quantity used ; as gems is very small in comparison ; with that used for abrasive purposes, | according to the Department of Mines, | at Ottawa. There are several deposits | of abrasive garnet in Canada. In Onâ€" tario, a good type of garnet is being , produced from a rich vein near Banâ€", croft, and a promising deposit of larger | extent but lower garnet content ati Parry Sound has been well pmpeeted‘ and will probably be an economic proâ€" ducer. Near Sudbury, there is another promising exposure about fifty feet wide and traceable for a considerable distance. _ At Chegoggin Point, near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, a 35â€"foot dike with a garnet content of approximately 40 per cent outcrops on the sea shore and bhas been traced inland for several imilefl. All the above deposits are near rail or water transportation and should be of commercial importance. Several | other deposits are known that are ‘both rich. and suitable for abrasive | purposes, but they are at present reâ€" | mote from transportation facilities.
