IRON DEPOSITS IN CANADA.

1t is now known positively that
iron ores abound in practically every
province of Canada. Only eight iron
mines are in operation, and only one
of these is producing as much as
100000 tons of ore in a year, it is
true; but active preparations are be-
ing made in the eastern provinces for
exploiting the recently proved de-
posts of ore on a large scale. AT
present the chief Canadian blast fur
naces draw most of their ore from
Belle Isle, in Conception bay, near ST.
Johns, Newfoundland. Newfoundland
is very rich in iron ores, and nearly
100000 tons are raised annually,
most of which is used in Canada. But
enormous and rich reserves of hema-
tite ore have been found In New
Brunswick, within easy distance of
large coal fields. Deposits of huge
quantity and high quality have also
been proved in Ontario, Quebec and
Nova Scotia in the east, and in Van
couver and British Columbia In the
west. Recent investigations conduct
ed by the department of mines
coupled with private prospecting, in
spire the hope that Canada is as rich
in iron and steel-making materials as
the United States.-T. Good, in Cas-
sier's Magazine.

THE BOYS WE ALL LIKE.

The boy who never makes fun o.
old age, no matter how decrepit OF
unfortunate or evil it may be. Gods
hand rests lovingly on the aged head
The boy who never cheats or is IN
fair in his play. Cheating is con-
temptible anywhere, and at any age
His play should strengthen, not
weaken, his character.
The boy, who never calls anybody
bad names, no matter what anybody
calls him. He cannot throw mud and
keep his own hands clean
The boy who is never cruel. He has
no right to hurt even fly needlessly
Cruelty is the trait of a bully; kind
ness is the mark of a gentleman.
The boy who never lies. Even white
lies leave black spots on the char
acter.
The boy who never makes fun of a
companion because of a misfortune he
could not help
The boy who never hesitates to say
NO" when asked to do a wrong
thing.
The boy who never quarrels. When
your tongue get unruly lock it in.

THE DECLINE OF METHoDISM IN
ENGLAND

(From the London Catholic Times.)
However Methodism fares abroad. il
is declining in England. The "Metho-
dist Racorder," in publishing the an
uual return Of membership for the
Wesleyan Methodist Connection, states
that for the fourth year in succession
If has to record a decrease. "All York
shire and most of Lancashire" it de-
clares, have still to bear the sorrow
they have borne so long, and little is
TO be said in mitigation. 1t is well to
face the matter and to recognize that
the sky is not bright. We must be I'M
afraid of the facts" This is very cam
did The facts are decidedly depress-
ing The Correctional total of full
membership, we are told, is 4S3.595. a
decrease Of 2,267 Last year there was
q decrease of 1,444. In 1908 the fall
ing off was 4,424, and in 1907 it was
2,034, so that in four years the total
reduction was 1853 There has been
q decline In the number of persons on
trial FOR membership. The decrease. on
last year is 1856; on 1908, 2,665: on
1907, 1858; on 1906, 1906. There
has likewise been n decrease in the
number Of members in junior society
classes, and the loss of membership in
all grades for the four years has been

MANY EXTINCT VOLCANOES.

Within the British Isles are numer-
Gus extinct volcanoes. The holiday
trlpper when he visits the island OF
Skye treads on the wreck of once
gigantic volcano, which Numbered
forth its ashes and poured out its
molten streams of lava in a period OF
the worlds history termed by geolo-
gists the Tertiary Epoch, and which
at a rough approximation may be
dated at about 30,000,O00 years ago.
This ancient volcano originally had
diameter of thirty miles at it's base
and a height of 5000 feet At the
present time nothing but a few
rounded dome-like masses or rugged
peaks. not more than 5000 feet In
height, remain to tell the story of
what must have been truly stupen-
deus volcanic activity
Ben Nevis, the Sidlaws, the Pent-
lands, the Ochils, Arthur's Seat, just
outside Edinburgh, are remnants of
very ancient volcanoes, 5O,OO0,O0O
years or so in age, which once made
Scotland a veritable reign of fire"
In North and South Wales there are
similar wrecks of what once were gil
gantic volcanoes, and among them
may be mentioned Snowdon and Ca
der Idris Many of the higher peaks
of the Lake District, of the Wrekin
Chain, in Shropshire, of Charnwood
Forest, and of Dartmoor, in Devon
shire, are the silent remnants of Brit
ish volcanoes that must once have ex-
hibited volcanic activity on the
grandest scale, and have rivalled in
size and extent the mighty giants of
Cotopaxi, Etna and Teneriffe.

HIS MAIDEN sPEECH

Sir Gilbert Parker has given an
amusing account Of his maiden
speech in the House of Commons.
He says:
L had been waiting the opportuni-
ty for two days to speak on the bud
get, but when the instant came, al
though the House was more than
half empty, 1 would gladly have run
away. 1 have been under fire more
than once in my life. but 1 never ex-
perienced anything like that; not be-
cause had not something to say
was deeply anxious to say certain
things, but my throat got dry, my
sight got dim, and my senses got
confused
Then some on the opposite side
made interruptions, not wholly un-
friendly, and that threw me off,
Next morning the newspapers treated
me In a friendly way, although I be-
neve one Of the most important of
the opposition papers said I was a
great disappointment"
The most noticeable feature about
his second speech was the fact that
he was called to order by the chair
man of the committee five times, and
then sat down on his hat!

EARLY TINfEPIECE.

There is a little instruments for
measuring time called the hourglass,
although many of those made at pres
ent allow the sand to run through
from one compartment to another in
the three minutes allotted by cooks
for boiling eggs. This glass has been
used for measuring time for more
than 1000 years
During the days of the long Puri-
tan sermons the preacher would
watch the hourglass upon the pulpit,
and when the sand ran through would
turn the convenient indicator, and
to the dismay of the little people who
listened, start out on another hour of
his discourse.
The gnomon, or index rod of the
sun dial, however, was a much ear
lier, perhaps the first. record keeper
of time. (The word "gnomon"
means one that knows.) At first this
was but a stick placed upright where
the sun shone, and measuring the
passage of the hours by the shadow
cast upon the ground; but afterWard
the dial was added, and a fairly sys-
tematic record was kept.
King Alfred of England used to tell
the time by observing how fast his
candles burnoH The wind causing
them to decrease more rapidly, they
were enclosed in a frame, and thus
the lantern was invented. Another
early tmepiece was called the clep-
sy1ra, in which water passed from
one vessel to another through a small
orifice graded to indicate the flight of
the hours. Water clock was the COM
mon name for this timepiece.

replied: The certainty of Catholics
They not only believe that their
Church is right, and the only one
that is right, but they know it and
feel it in their blood and marrow;
they have faith. I got talking re-
ligion the other day with bricklay-
er who was working for me, and
asked him: Are you so dead sure
that the Catholic religion is true and
just as Christ made it?' 'Sure!' he
exclaimed, as he put brick in place
and travelled it with mortar. I am
as sure of it as that this brick will
never come out Then, laying an
other brick, he added: I'm surer.

Peters Rock! That was the final
impulse that sent me to seek instruc-

of an old French writer. for the man
who misses his. Easter duty. 1t is a
sign that he has become confirmed in
evil ways. It is a sign that he has

than God, and the deliberatenessi of his

leave but little ground to hope for his

forward by this writer reflects the uni

Little smiles of comfort,
Little helps to all,
