orIaIn Of the Word o.nsds.

The origin OF the word Canada is
obscure, but It is now generally ac-
cepted that II is derived from az In
dian word "Ksnnstha." meaning a
village or collection Of huts, and 1t is
supposed that Jacques Cartier. hear
ing this word used by the Indians with
reference to their settlements. mistook
its meaning. and applied It to the
whole country. Quebec Il said to be
derived from the Indian word 'Kebec. -
meaning q strait. and was given TO
the site OF the present city of Quebec
from the peculiar configurstlon OF the
St Lawrence river at that point. for
the river there grows narrow and from
Its deep waters rises the bold height
on which the ancient city stands

adjourned Friday. This was a busy
session, many very important cases

wherever possible and cases in his
court are not allowed to drag where
il is possible TO try them. This dis

a man of Judge Sutton's ability foI
this important judicial position.
