These show that, whereas 2,768,- 000 oak staves were cut in the-Desin in 1911, 7,293,000 were imported.

When elm is exhausted birch will probably take its place, being comparatively flexible and available in great quantity. The total value of the materials used in the slack cooperage industry in Canada for the past year was 1,465,702. In 1910 it was 1,595,119, or some 130,000 more. Im- ports and exports of materials and finished product were, respectively, 329,992, and 135,463, an excess of imports over exports of 194,529, The total amount of material used, ac: cording to an estimate of the Forestry Branch, was over 62,000,000 feet, board measure... Through checking, loose meth ods of manufacture, etc., ete., there is also a great deal of waste not accounted for. es hae NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN IN LITERATURE and in many applica- tions of science and human ingenuity and skill, there does not seem to be in many respects, anything like originality. Clever, apt.and striking sayings seldom have origin in those to whom their origin is attributed. t inventions of modern times have in numberless- cases, had their ecount- erpart, their idea, their principle, come into existence centuries before. It would, per- haps, be difficult to convince some admir- ers of Sir John Macdonald that he was not the parent and originator of the phrase: A British subject I was born and a British subject I will die. Sir John might well have been the originator of this phrase, for he lived bravely up to it, both before and after its utterance. But he had been anti- eipated by another t Canadian, one who had more to do with the obtaining of the boon of responsible government than giving its principle e to Hon, Joseph Howe, who was elect- 4 time a member of the Legis- lative Assembly of Nova Scotia in the gen- eral elections of 1836. On the first day the new parliament met Joe Howe, as he was popularly known, began his fight for res- ponsible government, Speaking in suppurt of a series of resolutions proposed to this end, Howe met the lasting claim that change, or reform or improvement would imperil Britieh connection and lead to an- In a stirring speech he said: have no wish for republican institu- tions, no desire to desert the mighty 1 20.20 2045 Imp, Ltd, Montreal to Vanvouver wred in 189 3 an ' 803 30 Imp.

Why have you been absent so many times lately? asked the teacher. Please, teach- er, answered the girl, mother thought I had better not come to Sunday school, as my hat was dirty. But, my dear, ob- jected the teacher, gently, it s not the out- ward appearance that we consider; it is the inw: ** T know that, teacher ? was Maggie s reply; but. it. is all the same, the lining was dirty, too A young minister about to preach his trial sermon with a view i ent, sought a wrinkle from the chapel keep- er. What do you think I should preach about? he inquired. What would please the congregation? It will please them if ye preached aboot five minutes answer- ed the chapel-keeper gravely. Mrs. Elizabeth B. Grannis, at one of the dinners following the conservation congress in St. Paul, said of marriage: It is true that some girls,-marrying men to reform them, succeed. Some girls, too, fail. The hostess at a tea once said to a beautiful, sad-eyed woman, Are you fond of sports, Mrs. Blank? Mrs. Blank smiled. Her eyes twinkled a moment. Then she sighed and answered, Well, I suppose I ought to be. I married one. Two women on a train, seated together, held each a covered basket. From one a faint shuffling noise proceeded; while from the other came, no wand then, an indignant purr. The conductor came by. Dogs ain t allowed on this train, said he. This is a cat protested the owner of the purring basket. Makes no difference dogs ain t allowed repeated this solid logician. Must I get off too? inquired the other woman.
