"Qtd Hundredth,"

"Old Hundredth" has been variously
ascribed to Martin Luther, DR.. John
Dowland and William Franck. DR..
Lowell Mason wrote quite a treatise
on the old tune in, 1852, saying en-
phatically that it was written by Gull
laume (William) Franck in 1913. But
later musical historians and antigua
rians who have Investigated more close
~ say it was composed by Louis B6ur-
geois, born about 1900 and died about
15727-some say in the massacre Of st.
Bartholomew, in 1861 80. -Musica MIL

CANADA'S GOOD TIMES.
The immigration During 1906 Was
2t6,0o0.

White Il Ia we'll TO heed every
word OF caution from the leaders In
commerce and finance and TO avoid
all speculative ventures that lack
solid business foundation, II Is clearly
evident that there is no conspicuoug
weak spot in Canadas present era OF
prosperity. The Toronto Globe says:
1.-THE Dominion has in a commercial
sense plenty OF money, and our lead.
Ing financial institutions are In po-
sition to lend freely in the United
States. The chief productive enter
prises OF Canada are not bdSged up
by an era of dangerous speculation.
but are following substantial busl-
ness methods and finding safe and
continuous markets for their goods.
We are not bolsteriDg up any indus
tries by extensive export bonuses
that must impoverish the people as
a whole. and ultimately lead to col
lapse through the failure of tho arti.
ficial aid There is no extreme pro-
lection in Canada such as would ere
ate great fortunes for few at tho
expense OF the general public and
lead to disruption and catastrophe.
The prosperity OF Canada has no ar
tlficlal foundation being based on a
healthy and substantial expansion OF
trade and industry, with proportion.
ate extension of productive settlement
to new areas.
II Is true that VIC are borrowing
extensively for railway construction.
but every line will bring new terri.
tory within the limits of profitable
occupation. and will create prosper
Gus settlements TO bear the burdens
and repay the outlay. We are not
exhausting mineral resources, for It
Is quite reasonable TO assume that,
although mineral wealth is never
permanent, ours Will during tho
measurable future develop far
greater productive capacity than at
present. Our timber wealth can b.
made continuous by iudiclous pol
Icy. And agriculture, the real foun'
datioD OF our prosperity, is expanding
with every new expenditure on rail-
way construction. We are not In
the flush of railway mania that
could bring its punishment through
the useless duplication Of lines The
gigantic railway enterprises that
now stimulate every line OF business
In Canada will create q new DomIn
| lon, and thus render easy the heavy
burdens OF debt now freely assumed
Canadas era of prosperity has been
unprecedented, but there is no sign
OF weakness and no cause for lack
OF confidence. While our growth Is
normal and healthy, we need have no
alarm at its rapidity." This article
might have gone on to relate the
great growth that ia taking place in
Central Canada, where thousands Of
Americans have made their homes
during the past few years. The past
calendar year has given TO Canada by
importation an addition of 216,00O to
its population. OF this the United
States contributed 63,7S1. The agents
OF the Canadian government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere. say
that this number will be largely III
