A GOOD STORY SPOILED
Tradition Of Canadian Girls Defiance
tn RritisI, IJnf0uaded. Writer Says

To British Unfounded, Writer Says
1t seems a pity to spoil good story,
but here is the tale of how it was
wrecked. Several volumes Of historical
lore dealing with the Province Of Que
bee, including Picturesque Canada"
and Beckles Wilson's Province of Que
bec," have told pretty incident Of the
doings of Mile. Poulin at st. Maurice
FORCES in 1760, says the Toronto Globe
The Forces. which are seven miles
from Three Rivers, were the pioneer
iron smelling plant Of Canada, and, in
fact, the Oldest blast furnace on the con-
tinent of America. They were estab-
lished in 1873, and operated until 1883,
and many q house in Quebec and East
ern Ontario still owns an old Three
Rivers stove made there.
The story was that when the British
officers, after the conquest of Canada,
came to take possession Of the FORCES
they were faced by lone girl, In charge
for the owners. This young Miss Pou-
lin was hostile to the conquerors, and
in her indignation slapped her dark
eyes, stamped her little foot and threw
the keys into the river. That's what
the book said.
Purscuing the subject for more de-
tails, I have met disappointment. The
historic sites and monuments board, at
Ottawa, referred the question to @.
Malchelosse Of Montreal, an authority
on the st. Maurice region and friend
of the late De-, Benjamin Suite, his
torian Of much Of French Canada, and
author of several books, and Mr.. NAL
chelosse replied:
"In 1890 no Mile. Poulin was residing
at the FORCES. There were some of the
name in Three Rivers. The FORCES at
that time, 1760, comprising more than
thirty differtn buildings, and girl
could not have, for any reasons, the
keys Of these FORCES. The directors
Of the FORCES were there in 1760, and
the British surrounded the FORCES with
out any trouble, il I understand well
ell the papers left to re by DR.. Suite.
As many other stories, the Legend in.
vented by the inhabitants lie a pure ef-
fort to Imagination"

MILKING MACHINE BOON.
Social Life OF New Zealand Farms Ha

Social Life OF New Zealand Farms Has
Been Transformed, Writer Says.
A shrinking illustration of the way
in which the use of machinery lessons
drudgery and gives more time for the
amenities of life is provided by the ex-
tensive use of the milking machine in
New Zealand, says a New Zealand letter
to the Christian Science Monitor.
Dairying is now the most valuable
industry in the country, after sheep
raising, and bids fair to leave that be-
hind. To make a fair income the dairy
farmer must keep a considerable herd,
and the milking of these cows night
and morning, if it is done by hand, is
a long and arduous task. Hired labor
is q difficulty, and in many cases the
farmer has depended on the help of his
children.
The problem of the Child slaves" of
dairy forms has been made familiar to
New Zealanders by reportsof inspectors
of schools, who have found children,
tired out by milking before they come
to school, incapable of doing their les
sons. The devolopement of the milking
machine pointed a way out of this
drudgery. The action of one of the rural
electric power authorities in reducing
the charge for current for milking
plants has led the New Zealand Herald
TO make an interesting comparison be-
tween the old conditions and the new.
No invention, it says, ever had warm
er welcome.
Milking, which had hitherto been a
drudgery, became almost a delight; 1t
certainly has q new interest.

At the beginning of their heroic
