300 miles in length, 80 in average width, and is a peninsula, connected with the mainland of New Brunswick by a narrow isthmus, some fifteen miles wide at its narrowest part. The island of Cape Breton, at its northern portien, the seat of tue historic fort and settiement of Louisburg, separated from the peninsuia proper by the narrow strait of Canso, also forms part of the Province.”

Here follows a long description of Nova Scotia and its capabilities, ending with the following :

**The people of the province themselves a: « in the aggregate highly intelligent, law- abiding and conservative, and being for thc most part essentially American in sentiment, would make a very desirable addition to this country’s 70,000,000, among whom so many of their countrymen now reside,”

_No human mind can comprehend the limits of this great new idea in journalism.

Vital Subjects.

Sir,—Two very serious subjects affecting respectively city and country need airing for public notice. May Ihave space to at least bring them forward.

The city matter is the Government sewer running down Great George Street from Government buildings on Queen Square. The sewer is broken near Palmer’s door and sash factory, and the most offensive infec- tion-breeding matter is continually oozing trom 1b.

The parties in the vicinity are very much alarmed about it, and have called the atten- tion of the City Health Officer to it as well as the Dominion Architect, but nothing seems to be done in the matter, although we may say almost that it is a matter of life and death.

The subject afiecting the country is the alarming increase and spread of the dreaded potato bug. One or two parties owning potato fields near Brighton, in the Char- lottetown suburbs, had the pest in their fields last year, and to their disgrace they did not take the public well-being into con- sideration, but again planted the same fields with potatoes this year. To-day the conse- quence is that the fatal bug has been de- veloped in these very fields, and is now flying broadcast over the country, driving our farmers to despair. Such criminal in- Pdifference cannot be too strongly comment- ed on, and, if possible, shoul Ss made an example of.

It behoves every farmer, by every pos- sible means in his power, to stamp out this pest if he values his crop and livelihood ; and behoves even more strongly the Gov- ernment, who possess the power to grapple with this demi-Egyptian plague.

A word from you, sir, on these subjects would do a great deal more good than any- thing I can say. Cc. | 5 eee Mortuary Statistics.

The mortuary statistics for the year 1889 have just been published as an appendix to

the report of the Minister of Agriculture. ‘Quebec tops the list with the highest death rate in Canada, the figures being 31.13 per 1,000. St. Hyacinth comes next with 30.50. Then comes Montreal 29.56, Hull 29.50, Sorel 23.83, Three Rivers 23.80, Sherbrooke 22.30, St. John’s, Que., 22.36. All the foregoing cities and towns, with the highest rates of mortality, are in the province of Quebec, and one cannot help wondering how this comes about. Ottawa has the highest record in On- tario, the rate being 21.38. It is contended, however, that this is not Ottawa’s normal rate, a maternity hospital, which does duty for eastern Ontario, being just within the city limits, unduly swelling Ottawa's death record. Winnipeg’s rate is 20.85, Halifax 19 23, Chat- ham 17.05, Fredericton 16.98, Brantford 16,54, St. John, N. B., 15.46, Kingston, 15.86, Belleville 14.43, Charlottetown 14.04, Lon- don 13.29, Windsor 13.42, Peterboro 13.33, Toronto 13.25, Guelph 13.21, Victoria 13.13, ' Woodstock 12,03, St. Thomas 11.53, and Galt, the Manchester of Canada, with a death rate of 9.99, carries off the palm as being the healthiest place in the Dominion.

There have been several lists of stones given as marking the months, and while these are alike in many essentials, there are some points of difference. The best order and the oldest, so far as known, says the Ladies Home Jour- nad, ts the following :—

January, the garnet,

February, the amethyst.

March, the bloodstone.

April, the sapphire.

May, the agate.

June, the emerald,

July, the onyx.

August, the cornelian.

September, the chrysolite.

October, the aquamarine, | November, the topaz.

_ December, the ruby.

— + Ai RR rr A Millionaire Hunting for Ten Cents.

Sun, illustrating the Astor philosophy in money matters, is told of the late John Jacob Astor by the man who was the other actor in the scene :

‘* I went to Mr. Astor,” he said, ** with a business proposition which demanded an ‘investment of $100,000 on his part. While | listening to the plan, he kept groping and | feeling about on the floor for something he | seemed to have dropped. When I had fin- ished he said readily: ‘All right, go on with the affair; [’ll furnish the money.’ At that instant a man entered to tell him that

on feeling with great care for that some- thing on the carpet.

*T finally asked him _what he had dropped.”

‘* Why,” he said, raising his head and looking as woe begone asa sma!l boy, ‘I dropped ten cents here a few moments ago, and I can’t find it. Ifa man’s buildi burn down, they are gone and he can’t help it, and he is bound to let them go. But a man who deliberately throws away ten !cents because he won't take the to find it is not to be forgiven,
