Labrador’s Name. 1t is believed that Labrador was so named because Portuguese explorers thought the natives would make good luborers or slaves. The Labrador coast was discovered in the Tenth cen- tury by Leif, the Norseman, but no explorations were made, It was again plorations and settiements were made and the peninsula was named. e e e 2s o e i,‘w.,lfi:vu PR T inousray Lost ']‘o CANADA ST 5l L After the program, a social hour| HOLDS CONCERT FRIDAY discovered in 1497 by John Cabot.

'#.In 1850, Mackenzie of Pictou astonished Glasgow with the Hamilton Campbell Kidston, the biggest sailing ship the Clyde had ever seen. In 1864 Nova Scotia was launching 300 vessels, and by 1880 eastern Canada bullding, salling, owning and selling, had be- come ane of the four greatest shipping districts .of the world. For a period between these dates Canada headed the lists of tonnage in proportion to population. It 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 a gen- eration sooner, the 500 Canadian ves- sels, built in 1875, would surely not have dwindled to 29 in 1900. Embarrassing, Indeed! Economizing might be all right, but first know your location! I went into a two-priced millinery store and after trying on several hats and not caring perticularly for any, realized that it wes next to impossible to get away without a purchase. Iinally I said I bad no money, but selected a hat for them to put away for me, and prom- Ised I would surely return for it the next evening. I breathed relief when I made my exit, and passing a store a few doors away, entered upon seeing a hat much to my taste, and after trying it on decided I really would buy it. As I was about to take the money from my purse, tp my surprise the manager of the first store (he ownéd both, I later learned), en- tered, and seeing me, cynically smiled and said: “Don’t waste your time on | 4l this customer—she’s only sightseeing | and has no-intention of buying.” My embarrassment, together with anger, | was the limit, and I arose in a rage and left the store.—Chicago American, Lost “Victory” Recovered.

These are casily made In the following way; Melt a few lumps of candle wax inan old can on the stove. little and then, before it has set, dip the matches In, one at a time. Trent 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, it is needfnl to do so a trifle more firmly so as to get through the thin film of wax surrounding the head. When once tke flame starts, the match burns very readlly, owing to the wax which had adhered to the wood. Any ordinary matches can be treated in the manner described.—S.
