. the First Settlement,
Annattelisaformerly Port Royal, was
"garrison town" from the time of
its founding by De Monts in 1604,
until, in 1553, it ceased to be the capi-
tal of the Province of Nova Scotia,
and the troops were withdrawn and
stationed at Halifax, and is therefor
the oldest settlement in Canade.
Just how comfortably the early resi-
dents of Annapolis lived, and with
how much affluence, is seen in the
description given in the writings of
M. Dierville, who was in Port Royal
about 1699. The town had then been
settled over ninety years, and so had
arrived to very fair pretentions as a
pioneer in the wilderness, although no
more progress had been wade than
wits the necessary outcome of an hi -
creased immigration.
Of the residents, Dierville sayets--
"They feed themselves and have sur-
plus to sell. Hemp and flax prosper.
Some use no other cloth but home-
spun. The wool is good, and most of
the inhabitants are dressed in their
own woollen homespun. Fruits, pulse
and garden stuffs are excellent, Pro-
visions are cheap; wheat 40 sous per
bushel, the bushel weighs forty-one
and one-half pounds; beef is two sous
a pound; a pair of chickens, 10 scale;
eggs, five sons per dozen; and hares,
four sous apiece. (A sous, it may be
mentioned, about equals a cent in our
currency.) Game plenty, The foun-
ders of Port :Royal knew the country
well before they selected it as their
fortreas, They had forts at 'Port La
Tour,hat Le Have and at Museoud-
about, These all belonged to indivi-
duals., a.nd when a good understand-
ing existed amongst them, which was
but rarely, Ales- used to come to Port
Royal for refreshment. 13at it is to
be remarked that except Port Royal
and Le Have, where they cultivated
lands and carried on the fisheries,
the other posts were only kept up for
trading with the savages, Port Royal.

also, where corn is now raised, and
cattle."
The first 'Town Council of Annapolis
after its final occupation by the Eng-
lish was organized itt the spring of
1720 by Governor Phillips. The mem-
bers of that board were ten in num-
ber. The first work of this council
was evidently in the line of superin-
tendence of public repairs. The town
was in a bad condition according, 'to
report of Goveruor 'Philips. When
he landed in Aprit he found the place
"in as bad a state as was possible to
describe, both within and without."
The criminal courts of these early
Councils were the occasions of decid-
edly amusing proceedings. The Jean
Picot affair and her sentence to
"ducking at high water" have become
familiar in history, and other eens
.tences to the early offenders of jus-
tice were equally strange and richer."...
haus. In September, 1716, one Robert
Nicole- was charged with assaulting
one of the officers. of the garrison,
and a court of *four councillors found
him guilty and passed the following
sentence:- . .
"You being found guilty by H. M.
Council for this Province sd the crime.
wherewith thou art charged, the pun-
ishment,' therefore, inflicted On thee
is to sit upian a gallows three days,
half an hour each day; with a rope
about thy neck; and a wiper upon
thy breast whereon shall be wrote, in
capital letters,. "AUDACIOUS VIL-
LAIN,' and afterwards thoti art to be
whipt -at a cart's tail from the prison
house up to the, uppermost house of •
the Capp, and froin thence back Again
to prison house, receiving each bea-
ched paces •five ,stripes upon goer
bare back with a cat -of -nine -tails, and
then themeare• to be turned oyer for
a soldier." .
d Evidently to be a' soldier was not
so high an honor as it.once had been.
Another sentence given in 1732 was
that the prisoner should be 'publicly
whipped °at. the cart's tail". at four
pieces in. the town, and at each place
'to receive five stripee on hie hare back
with a cat -o' -nine tails.
Piracy was rampant, Annapolis
(hiring the early' years of the eigh-
teenth century;and not only was ser-
ious' (tentage done to the property by
these nttackstbut the cnslaughts were
'usually accompanied with loss of life.

In August, 1781,, the town was at;

" It was a genuine freebooters' ex-

They were, discovered and promptly

the schooners. 'Their fate served as a

After the whole town had' hogn plum-

One morning not long ago, befere
the weather got so hot that the lion

There is the usual temptation to of-
fer hasty conclusions as to the char-
acter of animals from the manner in
which they received different selec-
tions, but this will be resisted, while
a. few general and safe conclasions are
hazarded. For example, the noble
lion was regarded as a At subject for
soinething robust. Ale we have it.
We will try Caruso on him. With
the first mild notes of the Italian
songster, the lion stood and pawed
the floor in the keenest animation.
Then as Caruso warmed up the lion
became more attentive, and ae the
song grew in volume until the roof
fairly raised, the king of the jungle
turned and stood facing the photo.,
graph horn in 'a state of wrapt con-
templatiozt that was a tribute to the
king of tenors.
Of all the unresponsive inhabitants
of the Zoo, -the goats took the prize.
This ,experiment, just put them where
they belong in the scale of culture.
The phonograph man hunted out a
Sousa march which we felt sure would
be popular in goat pastures, But it
had 'no effect whatever. Cornet solo
and other delicacies were tried On
vain, but when a resourceful atten-
dant. put some grass in the mouth of

to the goat stomach thau to the goat
The procession of experimenters
presently visited the Scotch deer.
Here, we thought, is an opportunity
to test this clanistmess to the utmost.
So out over the Don Flats there peal-
ed Harry Lauder in his best voice,
singing "Stop Yer Tleklinh Jock."
The so-called Scotch deer must have
come Pont a remote fastness, for
Harry Lauder had no charms for him,
and he. remained at the far side of
his pen and Would net be comfoliecl.
The llama made a picturesque ef,
feet as Ile came up to the . phono-
graph, all alertness and curiosity. He
was evidently pleased with the cor-
net solo selected for his diversion.
When we came to the buffalo wolves
we had real wild things to deal with. •
A band selection drove thern hither
and thither over the pen. Theu we
remembered the old'story of the man
lost in the woods who saved, hislife
by soothing the weaves with a vio-
lin. So we put in a 'violin solo by
Miecha Ehnen. The result was that
the wolf stood on his hind legs, threw
his head beck and howled.
So the narrative might go, on. The
monkeys jumped about and scolded;
the peaeock strutted at the sound of
the band music; the brown bears
tried to dance on hotting the band
play; while the eagles, who were un-
responsive to all other efforts, were all
alive on hearing a yodel song by Ma-
