being crowded with population. 1t is
too prolific of icicles, and the sunbeams
that visit it have a cold and sickly glare
for nine months out of the twelve.
But we do not understand that Can
ada covets all of Alaska. She has all
of that sort of thing she wants nearer
home. One Labrador is enough. What
Canada wants is access to the sea, and
what we want to get rid of is any ter
ritory that has boundary dispute at
tached
Now, what will Canada give? We
suppose it would be out of the question
to think of Nova Scotia. We would
probably be told to go to Halifax for
our answer.
Well, then. there is Newfoundland or
Jamaica. Newfoundland has shown
that she has no use for the Dominion,
and she might be useful to us in provid-
ing banks the populists might proceed
to abolish without disturbing the
financial world
But since We have gone into the
island business, we fancy that Jamaica
would tempt us to trade off the caudal
extremity of Alaska in exchange. ia
maica has a very pretty outlook on the
Caribbean sea. 1t faces the Isthmus of
Pan;tma and the entrance to the Mic
aragua canal Also Cuba and the Wind
ward Passage 1t has a population
trade and climate that we can assim-
ilate.
So far as Uncle Sam is concerned, we
should think he would prefer swapping
the whole of Alaska, if need be, for ia
maica, to either arbitration or war;

Mother Goose Wall Paper.

From the Wall Paper World.
The child culturlsts who object to
fairy stories and Mother Goose melo-
dies would not advise papering the
baby's play room with the Mother
Goose wall paper. But the mother who
loves pretty things and the baby who
likes pictures and jingles will ignore
the child culturists one more and ap-
prove of the new paper. Each panel
of the paper illustrates a nursery
rhyme. For instance:
Goldilocks, Goldilocks, wilt thou be
mine?
Thou shalt not wash dishes
Nor yet feed the swine,
But sit on a cushion
And sew a fine seam,
And feed upon strawberries,
Sugar and cream.
is illustrated by a barefooted country
girl to whom a boy prince, with the GUS
tomary beplumed hat, is speaking the
first words of rhyme. Goldilocks is
undeniably in humble circumstances.
She clasps to her breast the plate she
is washing, and among the daisies at
her feet are several fat and frolicsome
pigs, waiting for her to feed them. In
the next picture Transformation has
taken place. Goldilocks is sitting at
her ease, sewing seam, as the prince
promised, and two solicitious pages are
serving Strawberries and cream on a
silver salver. Smaller pictures show the
prince and Goldilocks in the field of
flowers, the maids running with the
cushion and sewing, and the COW being
MIXED and the berries picked for Goldi-
locks dainty repast.
These papers are most effective when
used with a deep dado of plain or
striped paper. Pale green and white or
lilac and cream stripes look well for
dado, with a white enameled moulding
between the dado and the wall proper.

thought he had the best of it.
Now, since Canada appears to set
such mighty store on the Lynn canal,
and the whole Alaskan panhandle,
from Dixon's Entrance to Ill degrees
west, is not of much account to the
United States except as a spectacular
icehouse suppose Canada quits making
faces and gets John Bull to offer some

AS Sir David Mills, the Dominion min
