SEATTLE.

The first settlement on the site of
the present city Of Seattle, the young
metropolis OF the Northwest, was
made sixty-two years ago. Arthur
and David Denny headed the party of
immigrants from Oregon who laid the
foundation of the future great munich
patty, which was named Seattle in
honor of Chief Seattle, the most pow
erfu1 Indian chief of the Puget Sound
region. The redskins welcomed the
paleface settlers, who remained on
terms of close friendship with the
chief until his death fourteen years
later. The growth of Seattle was at
first very slow, and by 1880 it had
a population of only 5000. In 1900
the population was s0,671, and in
1910 it had increased to nearly a quar-
ter of a million. Puget Sound was
first explored by George Vancouver in
1892. For many years the country
was Jointly occupied by the United
States and Great Britain. Fort SteiI-
accom-, on Puget Sound, was estaE-
lished in 1s49. Tacoma, SeattIe's RI
val, was the site of a sawmin and IL
few log cabins in 1872, when it was
chosen as the western terminus of the
Northern Pacific railway.

To-day Is the festival Of st. Brice.

football players not alone because his
feast-day comes during the season so~
the gridiron game, but for quite an
other reason st. Brice's Day was
long generally observed in England
and in the year 1909 the celebration
took the form OF a general massacre
OF the Danes. Tt was on that day. ac-
cording to tradition. that the English
game OF football was invented, with
the head OF q Dane as the ball. st.
Brice, of course, was not resonsibIe
for either the massacre or the football
game, having died some six centuries
before He was a bishop of Tours,
and lived IN the fifth century.

The old English guild known as the
York Merchants Adventures, which
was formed in 1867, still exists, and at
a recent meeting, a woman had the
honor of being admitted to the free
dom of the company. The woman
was Miss Edith Sellars, and the honor
bestowed upon her was in recognition
of her services in transcrtbing the
ancient documents of the organiza-
ton. In her speech of acceptance
Miss SeIlars, who is a Lit D., said q
number of very pleasant things. She
said she was very tired Of the ques-
ton of the position of women. She
had read a great deal in the newspa-
pers about the great sex war that was
being waged, but she had come across
singularly few traces of it. There
is a wholesome idea in these words

consciousness, or by excessive self

The sad incident which made it i'm

similar prohibition of a celebration in
Andover some years ago. Andover

and the students came down in their
special train, prepared to celebrate
with the usual parade, bonfire, speech
es, etc, but on arriving at home were
called together and told that one stu
dent had suddenly been taken gravely
ill, and that the noise of the celebra,-
ton would threaten his life. That
night Andover was as silent as Exeter
was last Saturday. In that case the
