MAKING Cities hy Order.

The process of making Russian cities
to order on the Pacific has its disadvant-
ages for the househoiders.
United States Commercial Agent
Greener, at Nladivostoek. reports that
the Russian land banks were in the habit
of making twenty-year loans on mortgage
to persons intending to build houses. The
security was excellent. as the loan only
amounted to 80 or 40 per cent of the
value of the property.
Many people in \ ladivostock have pur-
chased lots and were ready to build when
the department of finance. which con
trois the banks, gave notice that the
loans must be cut of. This stopped
building short Meanwhile the intending
builders were given to understand that
if they would go to Dainy the new i'm
perial city further south. they could get
the loans they want all right
Nladiycstock is paying about a cent
and a half for each e-gailon pail of
water, because there is no proper water
supply. To establish one is not possible
because of conflict of authority between

How Old Ann Was.

The Mary-Ann age problem is one of
those curiosities in mathematics which
is simplicity itself to the algebra student.
but rather puzzling to the pupil who seeks
solution by arithmetic. There are many
such, and it not infrequently happens
that arithmetic unaided will not solve a
problem.
Take the proposition in algebra. Mary
is "a years old. Mary is twice as old as
Ann was when Mary was as old as Ann
is. What is the age of Ann?
Let X equal AIMS age.
Let Y equal the difference between
their ages, which is always the same.
Now, Y plus must be a, because
AIMS age, plus the difference, must be
Mary's age.
When Ann was II, Mary must have
been II plus Y, or X; that is Y minus Y
equals Il.

CANADA'S GOVERNOR.
Lord Mimic Popular, But Home
Rule FeUer Grozcing.

The announcement was made last week that
the Earl of Mimic, Governor General of Canada,
and Lady Mimic would visit Newport as the
guests of former Senator E. 0. Wolcott, who is
occupying of the Pinard cottages. 1t was
also said that during their visit a British fleet,
which is on its way to Bar Harbor would call at
Newport. The earl and countess are anxious to
witness the races for the international cup, and
have Professionally accepted invitation from
Sir Thomas Upton to be his guests board the
Erin during the races.
This is not by any means the first visit of the
Canadian Governor General to the United States.
Last fall Lady Mimic a member of a shoot
ing party which hunted for several days at
Shelburne Farms Dr.. Seward Webb's estate in
Vermont. She Joined the shooting party daily,
and proved of the best shots among the
women.
The present visit of Lord Mimic, however, is Of
particular interest, in view Of the great influx Of
citizens of the United States into the Dominion.
1t is difficult to statistics to the extent
of the American invasion, but a conservative
estimate places the number of Americans who
migrated across the border last year at thirty
thousand. In two years the actual wheat pro-
ducing area of the western part of Canada has
increased 100000 acres. Most of the increase
belongs to farms taken up under liberal home
stead laws and a majority of the new settlers
were Americans
In the Dominion OF Canada there is a senti-
nent more or less strong favoring the appoint
ment of a Canadian to the exalted post of Gov
ernor General The country has always been
ruled by some member of the nobility sent out
from England by the crown, and there has never
been any considerable dissatisfaction with this
arrangement. OF late years, however, national
sentiment has increased, and This is responsible
for petition which it is promised will be sent
out shortly by various boards of trade through
out the dominion.
There Is no desire to bring about the recall of
the present incumbent the Earl of Mimic. He is
one of the most popular Governors that has ever
represented the crown in Canada. But when his
term is ended many Canadians would like to see
Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal receive the
appointment. He is a Canadian, and is
ing as High Commissioner for the Dominion at
London. The Montreal Chamber of Commerce
has taken the initiative In this matter
In view of the fact that Canadians, who pro-
fess extreme loyalty to the British crown, are

discovered that the aid had neglected to mail
the invitations.
The MintOs are thoroughly schoOled in court

them through some of the public functions to
which the eager Canadians swarm. At a re-
