Government.

Halifax IS one of that small num-
Der of places that were commanded

Acadia was coded to the British crown
by the treaty of Utrecht in 1713, but
little or nothing was done for a third
of n century to give it British popula-
ton. Finally, In the spring of 1913,
the British government sent out In
transports, conveyed by war ships,
2,5T6 settlers, for the most part dis

They were well supplied with means
Of all kinds, and told to found city

they accordingly did. naming the place

EARTH NOT REALLY CROWDED
Trouble Is That Nature Has Not
Seemed to Arrange a Division
That Is Equitable.

Somebody has reckoned that If the
earth's population had increased Az
per cent every hundred years since
the birth Of Christ, by now there would
not be standing room left on the globe,
including all the islands. Yet England
and Wales in ten years increased their
population 1G1 per cent, and the in
crease IN the United States has been
much greater.
The earth's population at the pres
ent time Is about sixteen hundred mill
lion. Different parts of the earth vary
greatly in the matter of density of pop
ulation. Certain portions of China,
the Gauges valley, and parts of Europe
are too crowded for comfort. On the
other hand, large tracts of Central
Asia, Russia, the Americas, Africa and
Australia could accommodate many
more people.
The Turks by their religious fanati-
cism have caused devastation in the
last five hundred years in the valley
Of the Danube, in Macedonia, Asia
Minor. Syria. and Mesopotamia. These
countries, as a result Of massacre and
famine. are dried-up deserts.-POpular

To Waterproof Matches.

One Of the commOneSt experiences
of the camper is that OF finding that
matches are so damp that they
will not strike All this trouble may
be avoided by providing oneself with
waterproof matches. These are easily
made in the following way Melt a
few Jumps of candle wax in an old can
on the stove Allow this to cool a
little and then, before it has set, dip
the matches in, one at "A time. Treat
the heads and about half of the
wooden part. Place the matches on
one side to cool. Matches treated in
this simple manner have been soaked
in water for many hours, and they
have ignited as readily as those which
were perfectly dry. The only differ
ence IS that, in striking. il is needful
to do so a trifle more firmly so as
to get through the thin film Of wax
surrounding the head. When once the
flame starts, the match burns very
readily. owing 10 the wax which mad
adhered TO the wood. Any ordinary
matches can be treated I'm the manner
1escribed.-S. Leonard Bostin in st.

replied that the sun was so bright and
warm she could think of nothing else.
But" she said. perhaps tomorrow
l shall be able TO think about your pro-
poSal and give you your answer"
So Dandelion SAT all day with his
face bright and happy because he felt
sure the morrow would certainly bring
rain and then Miss Daisy would have
time 10 think about him.
The next morning the raindrops
were falling fast on the meadow and
Miss Daisy's upturned face never once
looked toward her lover. She was
drinking the longed-for water and had
no time TO notice poor Dan.
The next morning after the rain
all the flowers were so bright and
happy that Dan again spoke TO Miss
Daisy of his love.
oh, the world is so beautiful and
fresh this morning l cannot think OF
anything else" replied Miss Daisy as
she flirted the dewdrops from her
white skirt.
But Dan was not discouraged; ne
still waited and hoped for his answer !;
but one morning poor Dan awoke with
a head quite white. He had grown old
with waiting and his long, white locks
fluttered in the breeze.
Then one day Miss Daisy grew tired
OF the beauty around her. She cast
her eye toward her lover and, to her
horror, she saw he was quite bald. Not
even one spear Of white hair was
there on his head.
"Oh!" exclaimed Miss Daisy. "How
funny you look. Why, you are old Mr..
Dan ID. Lion. i could not think OF
marrying you now. Good-dayw
And that is the reason. so the mead
ow flowers say, that the Dandelion
grows faded and old with long, white
locks on its little round head. Long
ago it's ancestor waited so long for
Miss Daisy's answer that he grew old
and bald.

What is A ceesei

Here is a Kansas schoOlbOy's essay
On geese: Geese is a low, heayy-set
bird composed mostly OF meat and
feathers. His head sits on one side
and he sits on the other. Geese can't
sing much on account OF the damp
ness OF the moisture. There amt no
between TO his toes and he carries a
toy balloon in his stomach TO keep
him from sinking Some geese when
they get big are called ganders and
have curls on their tails. Gamblers
don't have to sit and hatch, but they
just loaf and go swimming and eat

STYLES AS
SPONSORED BY PARIS

A simple One-piece foulard fr0ck
with black silk or crepe coat, lined
with the same foulard. is one Of the
attractive costumes being sponsored
by Paris for summer travel this year.
The coat may have a long shawl
collar faced with the foulard and 10
be correct ii must have wide-mOuthed
bell sleeves, either with or without
cuffs.
1t is noticeable that the long separ-
ate cape OF last season has been al
most entirely replaced this year by
the short coat or the James First
cape. which is so simple an affair that
il can be engineered by any clever
home dressmaker
The Spanish influence on styles is
noticeable in the wide gathered
skirts with their circular trimmings
and the bodices worn with them
These bOdices are not overblouses.
They are tight. even though broad
wasted They have fchus OF old
muslin or OF the material. They arc
not beltcd and they do not end IN
girdles. Many of them are surplice
and fasten at one side with velvet
or metallic rose The large black
velvet pansy with yellow center is
considered good
AS against the Spanish influence
there is a strong belief that the spell
Of Egypt has not died out. One OF the
best Of the French dressmakers ac-
centuates a silhouette that calls for a
straight line from the shoulder near
ly TO the fnee with a full. but fat
drapery Joined to the upper part after
the fashion of short Egyptian skirt.
There is trimming on this shortened
skirt, in the form of straight bands OF
galloon, of beading. OF jet, OF crys-
tails. This is not a widely accepted
silhouette. but it Is bound to have its
day.
The seyerest type of afternoon
gown worn by women who start the
pleasure hours with lunch at res

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's GRANDMOTHER Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair

That beautiful. even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your Charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When 1t
fades. turns gray or streaked. just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance hun
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture: you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at a SMALL cost, all
ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth s
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
can always be depended upon to
bring back the natural color and lus-
tire of yoar hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair
has disappeared, and after another
dark and appears glossy and lus-
application 1t becomes beautifully

the first ship 10 cross the ocean under
no power but steam. Though this ship
was built in Quebec, 1t was TO Nova
Scotia in the persons of the three Gu

Steam power however, was as yet a
baby. In 1850, Mackenzie Of Pictou
astonished Glasgow with the Hamilton

ship the Clyde had ever seen. In 1864
Nova Scotia was launching 800 vessels,
and by 1850 eastern Canada building,
sailing, owning and selling, had be-
come one Of the four greatest shipping
districts of the world For period
between these dates Canada headed
the lists of tonnage in proportion to
population.
II was not so much the use of steam
that caused the decline as the change
from wood to metal. Had Nova Scotia
developed her metal industries gen
Grafton sooner, the 800 Canadian YES
sells, built in 1873, would surely not
have dwindled TO 20 In 1900.

THE origin Of monographs is prob

that the Greeks and Romans used
these devices. The merchants Of the
Middle Ages used cabalistic intertwin-
ings OF letters as their distinctive
marks, and the great Charlemagne
useds a cipher as his signature to con-
ceal his ignorance OF writing. The old
time painters and printers also had
their private marks made of their ini-
