If the most noteworthy trait in the fashions of the present day is an eclecti- cism which permits no one dominant tendency to hold sway, the reason may perhaps be found in the fact that while Paris undoubtedly sets the fashion for the whole feminine world, Paris is the capital of France and of the French re- public. Formerly, under the empire, or when there was a king on the throne of France, the sovereign's wishes had a distinct influence an the tendency of fashion. The court liked to copy the smallest detail or whim of his majesty or of the princesses who surrounded him -for example, trains owe their ori- gin to the fact that the daughters of Louis III had abnormally large feet. The wife of Philippe III., was afflicted with a tremendously long neck, so she invented the high guimpe. It was be- cause La Belle Ferronniere had a burn exactly in the middle of her forehead that she wore over the cicatrice the charming jewel held by a fine thread that is called a Ferronniere to this day. In the reign of Henry IL some princess- es who suffered from goitre hid the blemish beneath their high fluted ruffs and disguised under the puffed sleeve. Anne of Austria wore short sleeves because of her beautiful arms; Louis XIV. brought the wig into fashion be- cause he was afflicted with a wen on his head. Mme. de Pompadour created the vogue of high -heeled slippers to hide her lack of inches. The Empress Eugenie had very beautiful shoulders; so she set the fashion of a decolletage which left the shoulders bare and set them off to the best advantage. Had a Weak Heart Doctored For Three dears Without Any Benefit. Through one cause or another a large majority of people are troubled, more or less, with some form of heart trouble. Little attention is paid to the slight weakness, but when it starts to beat irregularly, and every once in a while, pain seems to shoot through it, then it causes great anxiety and alarm. Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills will give prompt and permanent relief to all those suffering from any weakness of the heart or nerves. Mrs. M. Shea, 193 Holland Ave., Ottawa, Ont., writes:-" I write you these lines to let you know that I have used Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. After doctoring for the last three years with all kinds of medicines and pills for weak evert, I heard of your Heart and Nerve Title, so thinking I had never used any- • hing that did me so much good, I kept ,n using them, and I had only used four .,uxeS, when I was perfectly cured." 7:H ce 50 cents per box, 3 boxes for :z3 at all ealeror mailed direct on :r.ceipt of price by The T, Milburn C ., Limited, Toronto, Ont. LADY FRANKLIN'S ADDRESS, ixplorer's Wife Received a Flowery Welcome at Yale, B.C. In a communication to The Week of Victoria, Mr. John T. Waibran tells an interesting story of Lady Franklin's visit to the British Colum- bia coast more than half a century ago: On Vancouver Island and on the south shore of Johnstone strait is a steep and rugged range of mountains about 4,000 feet high, named by Cap- tain Richards. in 1801, then in com- mand of H.M. surveying vessel "Hecate," after Sir John Franklin>, the Arctic explorer, and Lady Jane Franklin, his wife. It was on the 22nd February, 1861, that Lady Franklin, then the widow of the gallant sailor, accompanied by her niece, Miss Sophia Cracroft (hence Cracroft Island and on it Sophia Point, situated on the op- posite side of the strait to the Frank. lin Mountains), arrived at Victoria on a visit, and in March, attended by Lieutenant Hankin of H.M.S. "He- cate," detailed by Capt. Richards for this duty, proceeded by river steamer up the Fraser as far as Fort Yale, as her ladyship desired to see something of the scenery on the river. At Yale, Lady Franklin was enthusiastically welcomed and on leaving was pre- sented with an address. This unique address which has, to the writer's knowledge, never before been pub- lished, is worthy of more than passing mention and was communicated to the writer by her ladyship's naval "aide-de-camp" who was present when it was read to Lady Franklin. The address, as follows, was read by the Rev. William Burton Criekmer, :..A., then the Anglican clergyman at Yale, and no doula«t the reverend gentleman had a large share in its composition: "May it please your ladyship. We the inhabitants of Yale representing well nigh every nation under heaven, esteem the present as the proudest moment in the annals of our country and in the existence of our Town. To -day is our Town of Yale forever linked in history with the name of one, the memorial r.f whose abundant kindness and wifely devotion will never die and at whose immortal ven- eration Princes how down and Kings and Queens of the Earth may envy but never win. "From the bottom of our hearts do w, pray God to bless your ladyship with many happy clays, and when called in God's own providence from this holy Church militant, to join the heroic in the Church triumphant, may the grave be transmuted, by the touch of a living faith, into the gates of everlasting life and a glory, more lasting than the perishing Laurels of Earth, forever crown the double brows of the noble pair whom the whole civilized world of Christendom delighted to honor." History has not recorded Lady Franklin's reply. The address, en- grossed on parchment, was placed in a small cedar -wood case and handed to her ladyship. On returning to Victoria a picnic wee ' "Cauize.l hr the city authorities, etc„ to the hen.: of the Victoria arm and was held on the 21st 'larch when the cane carrying her ladyship was manned by eight Carmine i boatmen in costume, On the 24th.

Topazes The address was given to the writer, long after those days, by Commander Hankin, P.N.. when nearly all in- terested parties had passed away, and this gentleman had also told the writer that often on board the He- cate, at the ca plain's dining table, over the walnut; and the wine, Capt. Riehards, smiling around nt his guests, would say: "Now Hankin give us the address to Lady Frank. lin."

The grant on Interim First and Second Class Certificates is now with- drawn in accordance with the policy of tl%Department. The grant on First and Second Class Permanent Certificates remains the same. The Legislative Grant to Rural Pub- lic and Separate schools is earned on the salaries and certificates of the teachers. In 1906, it amounted to $178- 265, and in 1907 (the first year in which the present system for computing grants was used,) $356,726.42. As sal- aries increased, the amount earned ap- proached almost half a million, which was almost $100,000 in excess of the appropriation. In 1912 it was arranged that the 40 per cent. paid by the De- partment in respect to salaries should begin at $350 for Principal and $250 for Assistant teachers, instead of $300 and $200 as had formerly been allowed, In spite of this an overdraft for $60,000 had to be obtained in order that the grants earned might be paid in full.

A few years ago you could find very few English ino anitrrants in West Middlesex, and only a family or two in Glencoe, To -day you meet fine, intelligent men from the better classes of old England al- most everywhere. Among the newer arrivals are mechanics and artisans --men who are proving themselves good citizens." This opinion represents the experi- ence of many towns and cities in western Ontario, says The London Free Press. There is an immigration into these parts of men from the old land going on to -day that is even more marked than was the immigra- tion which resulted in the settlement of Ontario in large part by this same class of immigrant now approaching a century ago.
