Why he DORatent with ii1ro eri.!Uv tea. i Many students of Canadian history declare that the I -Ion. George bh'owu, founder of the 'Toronto Globe, was the real father of the Confederation movement in Canada. This is true only Maori's as the conference of 18434 and 18136 is concerned. These confcicnces italicised 1n Conl'edera- tEon but serious men had been talk- ing of the idea of a closer union of the peoples of British North America Ls far back as 1x31. But a vast 01olonn: of 'Credit- for tart and dip- lomacy in the fostering of the final movement trust go to George Brown. He had been a member of the C'niorr House which had seen no less than five governments rise and fall be- tween May 21st, 1802 and July Sat, 1 ti 11. The rapid turnover was cans - by the 'closely balanced distribu- tion of seats that were held by nhem- bers from Upper and Lower Canada The situation was bringing about a condition of chaos, Trade tinct com- merce were, .retarded and the bon:l that lead been issued by the Union (;uvernmeni, wc4„ sinking, When three conditions had reached an al- arming point, the member forLanark Alexander Morris, sounded the Ica - ,ler of the opposition, George Brown listened well and long to the scheme outlined by Mr. Morris for a federa- tion of the Bricish colonies in North America. Mr. Morris was perhaps more concerned with the idea as a mean) of removing the ennbat'riv ing condition which hail resulted Iron the inability of either party to form a strong Union Government. Georg,[ Brown ;awe the proposition from a touch deeper standpoint. After ad- rding several important details to the scheme as originally outlined by Mr. Morris, he approached balding men in the ;w•o parties of the house of 1 sill, The idea was warmly re- ceived and a, coalition government formed, based upon the policy of a federation between upper and lower Canada and the Maritimes . George Brown stet with the great conference in Charlottetown in September of 1811-[ and the second one at Quebec, George Brown was born in Edin- burgh in 1818. His father, Peter Brown Naas able to give the growing: lad the advantages of a good• educa- tion in Itis native city. The family e'rcle was a most harmonious one G.'

The bulk of his modest fortune wa'5 :wept away and he determined to cross the Atlantic and start afresh. Father and son came first to New York where the elder Brown almost immediately re- ceived remunerative employment on a paper. Four years later father and 0011 launched a paper of their own in New York state. This paper enjoy- ed n, molest stu•eess and George Brown, in -18.43 paid his firs: visit to Upper Canada with 11 view Of as- certaining by what means his New York paper might gain a circulation there. During his tour through Un - per Canada the young mean beeline convinced that The country offered virgin opportunities 'for an (gran that would champion the cause of responsible govermnent. Promise of : upport from so many and varied quarters sent him hack to his :father in New Yolk in a highly spe,mlatve mood. A few months later Father and son carne to T000lIto 41:1 Com- menced the publication of a weekly paper talk d he Banner, The ven- ture was not rt great `'Meer 01)11 :and in March of 18.1.4 the son, George Brown, published the first number of the Globe. Be entered political life in 1851. READING THE BIBLE (From the Kingston Whig -Standard) Attention is constantly being drawn to the fact that the Bible is the greatest seller in the world, 1 but there are many people who doubt 1 whether in proportion to other books it is read more than others, This doubt is increased by the ig- norance which is so often shown of quotations from it, and incidents in it, It is all the greater pity that ! • this is the case, because, quite apart from the moral issues contained in it, ' it is the finest and grandest litorn- tune in the world, forming asuperb and sublime model for writers and speakers. Of the latter there aro , two men who can be mentioned 113110 confessed to great part of the Bible • had in making then orators. The first was John Bright, whose nagnt- ficent reference to the .Angel ulf I Death will always be remembered, and the second is Sir Wilfred Laur- ier. It can also be said that the Bible had an enormous anti roost valuable offeot upon the English ' • language. For many years it was almost the only book which the peo- ple read, and the only one which read, and they we?!e the great ma- jority. It can be easily imagined , how this must have affected the Speech of the people, and 'conse- quently their literature. We may told a story we carne across the other day which seems to emphasize the point that th1e. Bible is not read aS much as is should be. Bishop Hoss said at a Nashville picnic: "The religious knowledge of too rn,ny adults resembles, I am afraid, the religious knowledge of little Eve. BIG HERD OF DEER. , It is a well-known fact that doer are plentiful in the big Proton Swamp area, which contains about 2,000 acres, where they thrive prac- tically unmolested, Some times they go out in pails or bands to feed on neighboring farms, Abraham Shear- son claims to have sent*- a herd of 40 in this vicinity this week, "So you attend Sunday school regularly?" the minister said, to little Leve, "Oh, yes, silt" "And you know your Bible," "011, yes, sir." "Could you perhaps, tell me something that Is in it?" "I could toll you everything tllaic's in it. "Indeed," and the minister smil- ed. "Do tell me, then." "Sisto''s beau's photo is in it," said little Eve, promptly, "anal Ma's recipe foe vanishing cream is in it, and a lock of my hair, cut off whorl I was a baby, is in it, and the ticket for pa's watch is in it."

Do you over wonder what the time Is, and make a guess before looking at your watch? Probably you do and find that you are often half au hour or more out. Not so Mr. B. Jeunr;v, however, He has been winding 1,000 clocks for thirty-two years, and can toll the time to within half a minute at any Nair of the day or night. He hits had this power for many years, and his Job as clock -maker has caused his fatality for telling the elm,•+ to become highly developed. Ohio•!'!, some earne:log tests recent- ly, the British Medical and Phytacal Association did 1very+thing in their power to diale.•lge w*hat they called his "acute psycho -astral poise." They took him to see one of the most dramatic plays in London, gave him can expellent dinner, and tviod the effect of alcohol on him. His great- est divergence was one of only three- quarters of a minute. About one person in 500,000 is generally found to have this peculiar faculty for gauging the passage of time, Mr. Jenney finds that bis abil- ity depends largely on his health. Some days he might bo a minute fast; at others, a minute slow. A HOOKING MOUN'l'14YN. 'etre Napes Needle May at Any Time Conte Ctrashing Down. Most visitors to the Lake District know that Dorwentwater possesses a disappearing island, but few know that it possesses a mountain that rocks, The Napes Needle on Great Gable is loose, and may 'at any time come crashing down the mountain- side. Oragamen of wide experience de- clare that climbers run greater risks in the Scafell area than in the Alps. Wasdaln anti Wastwater are at the foot of Great Gable, which is reck- oned the most perfect mountain form*. its Britain. Wasdale Head, a great, centre in the season 1'01', crag -climb- ers and hill -walkers, has three well- known botosta that it possesses the highest mountain, the deepest lake, and the mealiest church In England. Thereof of the church is said to be partly formed of the hull of a No"rso galley. [fives Her a Toothache.
