THE BAHA31.tS.
Looking Vomited to Annexation to
Der Dominion.
An article Copied in this paper
with regard to the aspirations of
the Bahamas as to become a prov-
- ince of Canada suggests the ques-
tion that occurred to many, why it
was that the Bahamas, which have
expressed themselves so favorable
to political union with the Demin-
fon, were not represented at the
trade conference at Ottawa, which
a g
has. resulted in a reciprocity y gree-
went between the West Indian Is-
lands and the Dominion. A glance
at a map suggests an explanation.
The islands that sent representa-
tives to Ottawa belong exclusively
to the Windward and Leeward
groups, with Trinidad and the
mainland colony of British Guinea
added. The Bahamas lie far to the
north and west of those islands.
They have no commercial connection
with them and their problems are
altogether different. They are not
interested in sugar and cocoa, and
think more of the fruit trade and
of the winter tourist traffic. Their
attitude, as we should gather from
the accounts that have reached us
of the enthusiastic colonization
movement, is that they want free
trade with Canada, not in a few ar-
ticles only, most of which do not
particularly interest them, but in
everything, and believe that this
can only be obtained by that abso-
lute union which would result from
their joining the Canadian federa-
tion, They look forward to a full
coo. course banquet at the Dominion

His Excellency Sir William Grey.
Wilson, who has been the Governor
of the colony for the past six years,
and retired on May 24th, has been
an active promoter of the annexa-
tion idea. If we mistake nob, his
advice to the island legislature has
been to have nothing to do with the
trade negotiations, which were not
of particular interest or importance
to them, but to wait until the au-
tumn, and then, if the consent of
the Imperial authorities can be ob-
tained in the meantime, to send a
deputation to Ottawa to discuss,
not a mere trade agreement, but
political union. At least this is in
accordance with the views private-
ly expressed by the governor when
recently here. It will be remember-
ed that Sir William is a cousin of
our late Governor-General. Lady
Grey -Wilson is a cousin of the Rev.
Dr. Barclay, of this city. We see
it stated that His Excellency will
be gratefully remembered for his
very wholehearted devotion to the
interests of the colony, and that

POPULAR TRADITIONS.
To a greater or less extent super-

and the ignorant, the rich and the
poor. • Dr. Johnson considered ib
unlucky to walk into his house ex-
cept with a particular leg first.
The great Napoleon had a belief in
omens, and what is little better
than the commonest kind of fortune-
telling; and although Sir Walter
Scott wrote a book to disprove dem-
onology and witeherafts there is no
doubb he was, 10 a certain extent,
imbued with superstition. There
are sailors who do, not like to sail
00 Fridays, others who do not like
to sneet •a squint-eyed woman'.
Then again, there are people, like
the Vicar of Wakefield, who bailey -

eolith and crossbones, which, is said
to be the sign of an approaching
wedding:
PRINCESS MARY IS 155.
Princess Mary celebrated her
fifteenth birthday a couple of weeks
ago. She has taken more after her
Guelph ancestors in looks than any
of her brothers, and is tall for her
age --a less rare occurrence among
the younger generation of the prin-
cesses of the ]loyal ]rouse than it
was among their elders, The Queen
of Spain and Princess Patricia of
Connaught aro well above middle
height, but Princess Mary bids' fair
to outstrip them both
Young as she is, Princess Mary
has already a strong personality.
As a small girl, she was the auto-
crat of the .Royal°nursery, and her
brothers, who were all devoted to
her, followed her lead. In those
early days Princess Mary quite ap-
preeiated the dignity of her posi-
tion, and once when asked whether
she would like a little sister, an -
LONDON LAND SCARCITY.
Building Operations Declining Be-
cause of Small Area of Land.
According to a London county
council report, building operations
are declining in London because of
the diminishing area of its uneov-
ercd land. For example, in 1907
houses and premises of all kinds,
with a rateable value, of £481,000,
were added, but for the year 1910
the rateable value of premises add-
ed was only £199,000. The builder
has to go out of London to find land
to develop.
As regards working-class accom-
modation, it has not been necessary
to provide much more in central
London, bet in outer London the
increase goes on. In 1910 there was
in London and extra London a net
addition of 20,000 rooms, but in
3906, when. the spirit of enterprise
was upon the builders, over 52,000
rooms were provided. When new
accommodation has been provided
it has invariably been in tene-
ments, for the number of new six -
roomed cottages has fallen off con-
siderably.
Though the returns show only the
actual .extra working-class accom-
modation provided, ib must be
borne in mind that the continued
conversion of better -class houses
into tenements is adding much ex-
tra aeoommodation for the workers,
A recent report of the Saint Pan-
cras borough eonncil showed that
in Maple Street, off Tottenham
Court Road, there are about a
dozen houses now occupied by
about 50 different :families, From
the London county council r'etur'n
it appears that there has been very
little change in the rents ruling for
several years past. Though the
value of property has depreciated,
working -Class rents have not de-
clined; For the central area the
average weekly rent per room is
three shillings one pence for the
test of London two ehil�'ings 2X
pence and for the outer suburbs
two shillings i/ perroo.
"Spick and span" is a term de-
rived from the stretching et at new
piece of cloth on spikes (hooks) and
spans (stretchers).
Princess Vary,
swcred that site might not mind a
sister, but would not care for an-
other princess.
Princess Mary has now come to
years of discretion, and is a very
charming young girl,, bright and
vivacious, fond of outdoor life, a
plucky rider, and a good whip. She
has inherited the deft fingers of the
Queen, and is an expert at all kinds
of stitchery and intricate knitting.
Three more years artist elapse be-
fore Princess Mary snakes her first
appearance at Court functions, but
when that time comes there will
probably be a good deal of enter-
taining for the young princess at
Buckingham Palace.
PERPETUAL LIGHT.
Strange ae it may seem, there ex-
ists a perpetual lighthouse, need-
ing no keeper, and yet as regular in
its flashes of light as one maintain
ed by the Government. This na-
tural light never fails, and that
means much for navigation. It is a
volcano on the Island of San Salva-
dor, This volcanic lighthouse is
about eight miles inland from the
port of Acajutla. It is a veritable
pillar of eloud by day, and the flash
of its light by eight has been valu-
able to mariners for years. It can
be seen fax out .2t sea, and a burst
of theme has gone upward every se-
ven minutes without the variation of
a .second for years. A lighthouse fee
is collected from all tesscle limb put
in at the hasher neavest the vol-
cano, and no skipper objects. He
knows that the volcano is more re-
liable titan the lighthouses kept by
human beings on other coasts, and
the novelty of the light is worth the
price charged by the Government,

WHAT TACIT DOES.
Tact ie a combination of good
temper, scaly wit, quickness of per-
ception, and ability to take in the
exigency of the occasion instantly,
It is never offensive, but is a balm
allaying suspicion, and soothing.
It is appreciated. It is plausible
withoet being dishonest, apparently
consults the welfare of the second
party, and does not manifest any
selfishness, It is never antagonis-
tic, never opposes, never strokbs
the hair the wrote; way, and never
irritates- Tact, like a fine man-
ner, eases the way, takes the jar out
of the jolts, oils the bearings, epees
doors barred to others, sits in the
drawing -room when others must
wait in the reception -hall, ,gets into
the private office when others aro
turned down, It admits you into
exclusive circles, where wealth
abounds, one though poor. It se -
eaves :the position when merit is
turned 'away. Tact is a great mana-
ger ; it easily controls people, even
when combined with small ability,
where genius cannot get along,
"Is there anything you can do
better than anyone (lse?" "Yes,"

Verse 39. A parable—One of sev-
eral grouped together in Luke's ac-
count at this point. There is an in-
timate connection in thought with
the exhortation which immediately
precedes, that, namely, against
judging others.
Can the blind guide the blind?*
Jesus chooses a very familiar sub-
ject for the figurative lesson of his
parable. The affliction of blindness
i:, very common in Palestine, even
to -day.
A pit—An open cistern or square
tank such as was commonly used
for the storing of rain water.
40. Disciple—Literally, learner;
that is, the pupil.
Not above his teacher—Not wiser
or better informed than his teacher.
Perfected—Or, equipped, when
his period of training is completed.
41. Why beholdest thou? — Why
dost thou take notice of?
The mote—Literally, dry frag-
ment, a mere splinter.
In thy brother's eye --Tho pre-
cepts which Jesus sets forth are in-
tended for observance in domestic
and social life, without special re-
ference to their application in
courts of law.
The beam -Literally, main beam,
the rafter supporting the center of
the roof. The thought is that of
blindness to one's own far more
seethes fault.
42. Thou hypocrite—In classic
Greek the word translated hypo-
crite means actor, and is used in
connection with the drama. In the
New Testament, however, it often
has the sense of one acting a false
part in life, and hence is exactly
equivalent in meaning to our Eng-
lish word hypocrite used in the
translation.
Then shaft thou see clearly—A
right understanding of self and an.
appreciation of one's own faults
and limitations is necessary before

QUIET EXODUS.
The astonishing thing about this
serious and persistent ebb of the
best section of Scotland's impulse
tion is that no one oustide the dis-
trict actually appears to realize
that it is going on. Here in Aber-
deen all sorts and conditions of

try" with sufficient repetition of
the same phrase to snake it sound
like a melancholy proverb of the
