Lord Stratucona was born in Scotland in the year 1820, and before he became Lord Strathcona he was plain Don- ald Smith. He went to Canada when 18 when he became a junior clerk in the office of the Hudson Bay company. To the active outdoor life and the honest toil that wer: his ly por- tion duriug many years of his service in the Hudson Bay company he at- tributes the physical vigor and men- tal alertness that are his at the age of 81. Step by step he rose in the service and in the esteem of the great Hudson Bay company until he became one of its most important factors. He has been a member of the house of commons, and he did not re- tire from political life until his | seventy-fifth year, when he was ap- pointed high commissioner for Can- ada. His services to his native and to his adopted country had been so valuable that in 1886 the queen con- FOREIGN ODDITIES. | teered. upon Donal Henth, the -airdet —— of knighthood, and in the next year he was still further honorea by her majesty, who made him Baron Strath- cona and Mount Rayol, of Glencoe in Argyll, and of Montreal in Canada.

To McGill universi- ty, a Canadian institution of which Lord Strathcona is chancellor, he has given many thousands of dollars, and he has given further proof of his in- terest in higher education by erect- ing and endowing the Royal Victoria college for women. He has bee a most generous patron of art and he has endowed a Canadian scholarship in the Royal college of music in Lon- don. His heart and his purse have ever been open to the poor, and his private benefactions have been many and unstinted. But the act of splen- did munificence that has given him an enduring place in tke hearts of his countrymen was that patriotic deed by which he again test.fied his loyalty to his queen and her empire. This act was the raising of the regi- ment of the Strathcona horse and ; sending to the support of the queen mother’s arms in South Africa a com- pany which he saw was needed to meet the Boers on their own ground. When the Strathcona horse visited England on their return from the war the snowy-haired old man was the | hero of the day. He is known as Canada’s “Grand Old Man,” and as such ‘he will be given a royal welcome when he faces the mighty audience that will be sure to meet him in Boston on the oecasion of his address at the Y.
