FOR A KING OF CANADA.
Account OF the Proposal for Mon
arch of the Dominion That Was
Made In 1882.

At the present moment, when moi
only King Edwards title with refer
ence to oversee dominions but the
tour of the heir apparent over those
countries is SO much to the fore,
great interest will be taken i'll BIT
of history which is given in the just
issued volume of the Canadian ar.
chives, says the Chicago Record-Her'
aid.
In his report on the state papers
examined in 1900 the archivist ODE
Brymner) states that in September
1882, an undated P&n for the govern
ment of Canada was sent to Nathan
iel Gould, chairman of the NORTH
American Colonial association. Ii
was regarded as the effusion OF ar
enthusiast, and has probably never
been looked at again until the pres
ent arranging of the old state pa
pers. 1t was signed ''John w. Sar
geant," about whom nothing seems
to be known.
His proposal was that Canads
should be governed by viceroy, wLc
should be one of the royal dukes
and who should have the title o.
the king of Canada" Subject to
the imperial authority, his heirs were
to succeed him in this viceroyalty
and 1.-The reigning viceroy was to sue
coed to the crown on the demise Of
the elder branches" This latter
probably means that the right Of
succession to the crown was not te
be barred by the acceptance of this
viceroyalty.
The annual allowance of the king
of Canada was to be 100000 year
exclusive of his other resources, but
no mention was made as to who was
to pay this. The viceroy was to have
q house of lords and a bouse of com
mons. Dukes, marquises, earls, Wis
counts and barons were to be created
among the wealthiest persons in Can
ada to form the upper house, while
| the lower house was to be formed
of baronets, knights and esquires
Canadian orders of knighthood were
to be established, and everything elst
that could promote royal honor ant
distinction. Another feature of the
proposal was that the whole of thu
British North American possession
should be included in the viceroyalty
and that all military and naval ex
penditure should be borne by it, Eek
cept when there was war in defens'
of the empire" These latter words
when we consider that they were
written before, or in, 1882, are re
marka BILE.
The proposal dealt with many othel
subjects, such as systematic emigra
ton, the opening up of roads ant
other communications, the treat
ment of felons, and quite number
of other matters.

ter than the best representative OF
another nation. These different ma
tionalities have never become ANAL
gamated, and not the least of the
attractions of the island are the
speech and customs of its people.
After many years of neglect, pub
lie attention is now turning toward
Cape Breton on account of the de-
yelopment of its mines. 1t has been
called the "long wharf of America, -
and for about eight years past it has
been regarded as a future great dis
tributing center. It is well situated
for the purpose and coal crops out
prominently in various localities, no
tably on the east coast cliffs from
Morien Bay to North Sidney. Dur
ing the reign Of Queen Elizabeth the
coal trade Of Cape Breton fourished;
end Champlain, in 1872, drew q map
of the island. But Nicholas Denys.
of Tours, was the first te make ref
erence to the coal. A grant of the
island was made to him in 1854, by
Louis XIV. It's possession was fu-
riously contested with him and he

W. bracing the same number OF
LIZ acres presents more varied at
fractions to the sightseer than the
island of Cape Breton, and few are
more neglected by tourists. Its coast
line divides it from various bodies
of water and it is indented in every
direction by large bays and inlets.
Fogs from the Atlantic ocean, the
Gulf of ST.. Lawrence, Gut of Canso,
Cumberland strait, and, last but not
least, over the neck of the peninsula
of Nova Scotia from the Bay of
Fundy, drift over it, enriching and
deepening the color tones of its vege-
tation.
Certain portions of the coast stand
out in bold grandeur. Everywhere
the scenery is fine. In winter, the
dark pines outlined against sea and
sky and contrasted with the purity
of the snow give an impression of
great solemnity. This is heightened
by the roar of the surf. In spring
and summer, when maple, birch and
oak trees furnish variety to the for
est colo-ing, the effect is less severe.
In autumn, when the frost has
touched the leaves with glorious reds
and puppies, the island is magnif-
cent. The atmosphere softens and
blends everything. Grain grows in
abundance, although the inhabitants
draw more or less on the United
States for food supplies. Fish, OF
course, are used in large quantities
for the surrounding waters contain
the finest fishing in the world, but
the great wealth of the island has
always consisted of coal, which il

to France, and during the following 30
years about $5,000,0O0 was expended
on the fortress at Louisbourg. This
town became most important to the
French fishing interests as well as q
key to French possessions in America.
Authorities differ as to whether it was
named after Louis XIV. or his sue
side of a commodious landlocked har-
Dor, and is about rs miles from Sid
ney, with which it is now connected by
rail. The mouth of the harbor is about
a mile in width, but continuous reef

the entrance to about one-third OF Q

brilliant success. A lot of unframed
New Englanders, without siege artil-
lery, captured the best equipped
fortress in the country, upon which
and its outworks were mounted ITO
guns, and which contained a garrison
of $500 trained militia and $50 regu-
lars. Pepperill, while knowing moth
ing of war, possessed good fund OF
Yankee common sense which stood
him in good stead at this time. Louis

were enabled to capture the ship Notre
Dame de Deliverance, containing car

and large sum in gold and silver In

pied the town until 174S, when Great
Britain turned it over to France. Dur.
ing the next ten years convicts were
employed in strengthening the de.
lenses. In 1883 an attack was made by
the British under more imposing, il
less romantic circumstances than the
former one. Frigates, % ships of the
line with $4,000 troops, came against
1900 French and IL ships. "A landing

as the waves that surrounded them.
French and Spanish settlers super
seeded the Indians; these were fol-
lowed by English and more French,
then more English. After these came,
in 1900, Scotch Highlanders, driven
from their homes by unjust laws.
These latter settled in Nova Scotia
and Cape Breton.
On the island the influx came chief
" from the inland districts of lnver-
ness and Argyleshire, Roman Catholic
and Presbyterian making common

finally returned to France In 1872, and
wrote work concerning his trouble

% his years of disappointment. Tho
mines since that time have been
worked in desultory way. An Eng
lish company, the General Mining as
ISOLATION, had monopoly of the coal
trade from 1927 to 1858, when their
charter was amended, so that the
legislature resumed all portions but
the North Sidney part of the east
ern coal field. Leases were at once
made to different companies. The
Dominion Coal company has been
methodically handling the output for
the last few years, and now the Do
minion Iron and Steel company in
tends to join in making Louisburg .
headquarters.
This venerable town, from having
been an obscure fishing village for q
century and half, is liable to regain
an Importance equal to that of the dis
tant past, though differing from it in
kind. Wharves are being built into
the waters of the harbor, looking
down through which fish may be seen
flashing around sunken cannon. In
1898 Boston capitalist consolidated
all the mines not belonging to the old
company. Old shafts have been en-
larged, immense new ones dug and
modern machinery put into use. The
Nova Scotia Steel company is equip
ping a large steel plant. At different
points large mines are being worked,
and in 1899 the Dominion Steel & Iron
company at Sidney was founded with
capital of $4,000, 900, being a YER
liable Prince Charming to the sleepy
little village, which is as yet hardly

portance.
Cape Breton is a land of splendid
harbors. Several railroads are expect
ed to terminate at Louisbourg, and it
is mentioned as the probable fu4ure
landing place for British vessels. This
little town is full of historic interest.
Although Lief Ericsson is said to have
been the first white man to view these
shores, there is no history of their
having been trodden except by the feet
of Indians until John and Sebastian
Cabot landed there in 1897. All the ma
lions after this time sent boats to the
surrounding waters for the fishing

DON'T TALK TO BABY.
Injury to the Infantile Mind May
Result from Too Much Ex-
element

The first babies are probably tho
ones most apt to suffer from too
much attention, especially the talk
ing and amusing process. Not only
does the so-called spelling" follow
such a system of training, but it
really Injuries the baby brain. "Don't
talk to the baby" is sensible advice,
lowed, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
"What, not talk to my baby!" ex.
claimed young mother, who sat
holding her three-months-old baby
and chattering to it with the fond
foolishness of which young mothers
are capable.
"No, my dear; don't talk to him 80
much, not nearly SO much" replied
the older woman. Dear as he is,
you must not forget how delicate in
every way tiny baby is"
The young mother was sobered,
but not convinced.
"How can it possibly hurt him."
she asked. HE cannot understand
me, and I do so love to see him smile
and answer my talk with his happy
look"
(which proves that he does UNDER
stand, and, in his way, replies to
your loving talk, and it is that which
is the strain. You take care to
feed the baby with the greatest ex-
actness and to keep him clothed
daintily and comfortably and that is
right. His brain, however, is just as
weak and undeveloped as is his body.
What this small mind needs is rest,
and when you talk to him the tax
on his mentality is beyond his
strength. A young baby cannot be
kept too much like little animal.
Let him sleep and eat, and eat and
sleep again, keeping him in cool, WELL
| ventilated rooms, and not too much
in strong light, either in sun or ar
tifcial light. Be advised and let your
baby alone. Let him grow naturally,
and not by any forcing process"
| Sensible advice surely, and there is
| still another point to consider in this
connection, even if the baby's brain
should not be permanently injured
by the constant forcing and "show-
ing off, process often INDUCED in.
the health is apt to suffer. Tho
baby that is sensibly kept quiet is
usually the contented, easily amused
baby, while the one that is forced
and amused and chartered to from
early infancy soon develops into an
irritable, peevish, highly-strung organ
ism, demanding constant attention.
