This incident developed during the

Almost the entire day was devoted tor

quiry would never end.
After listening to the arguments the,
court retired for consultation. Upon
returning to h courtroom Admiral

the Emperor, with w 1000 followers,
had sailed away in feluccas bound for
Provence. The lad used to carry eggs
and fruit to the kitchen of the EN-

his memories Of the great Napoleon.

Figures may not lie, but they are
often disappointing. Census figures:
especially, are apt to fall below what
is expected Of them. The recent GEN.
sus of Canada shows a population of
b.33S, 1873, which is an increase of $685.
1914 over the total Of 1891. The gain Of
about ten per cent in ten years seems
to many Canadians a meager result of
q decade Of prosperity, and of energetic
efforts to promote immigration. But It
is the rule nowadays mat city popu-
1ations grow faster than rural. and
Canada has few cities. Only eighteen
places in the Dominion have more
than ten thousand inhabitants. But
there remains the consolation that not
all the elements of national gr~eatness
are measured by a count Of heads.

Commodore Perry is a name high in
honor in the United States navy, hav-
ing been the title of two famous BROTH
ers-Oliver Habard and Matthew Cal
braith Perry. On September 10th,
Lightweight years ago, the elder broth
er, a young lieutenant who had never.
seen a naval fight, fought that fierce
Battle of Lake Erie, which saved the
Northwest to the United States and
gave the world the dispatch: I'VE have
met the enemy and they are ours"
Forty-eight years ago last July the
younger brother landed in Japan with
a message from the president which
practically opened that country to the
world. The Matthew Perry monument
recently unveiled at Kurihama, Japan,
is a shaft thirty-three feet high made
of a rare native stove and bearing an
inscription in gold written by Marquis
Ito. A dense crowd Of natives wit
messed the ceremonies, both Japanese
and American battleships fired salutes
from the harbor, and one Of the speak
ers was Rear Admiral Beardslee. who:
as a midshipman under Perry, was
present at the original entry.
