It was welcomed by French tugs with French sailers with sed tricolors on their saps. After we tied up a lighter came alongside anti we were all piled in about f0 o'clock, each one lugging her own baggage, grumbling and atrtmblilig along, The sailors gave us a great send off we were so mush more interesting than troops. We were welcomed at the Red Cross huts and had hot coffee and sandwiches just like troops and are waiting fes our train to leave at 10 p. m tonight and while I write hundreds of return- iug troops and our buuoh are danding, and talking. After lunch one of the nurses and I wandered around Brest. They say it is always mining here and you should see the mud The place is quaint, with twisting narrow streets, stow• hotlies and the pe„saute clatter about in wooden shoes in, the, costume - of Brittauy—the women inblack 'with' kerchiefs' and 'stiff 'white anile -this' men'in light blue clothes and.' black velvet.bats, the gendarmes in rape and' kids in bare knees, .and wooden -shoes, Thonsands of American eoldiers'are on the streets and each one grins and sal- utes and ask how the United :tater is, knowing we have just arrived. Their friendliness is pathetic—they are so anxious to be talked to. - by Sir William Alexander (Earl of Stint log), of whom descendants still survive in Canada, some in Toronto. Interesting facts are connected with the name Acadia. Verrazzapo, an Italian navigator, in the service of Francis 1, of France, discovered the land in 1624 and named it Arcadia "for the beauty of the trees;' It seems odd that an Italian in . an ancient Greek ' village, and that for a newly discovered land the name of en -ancient Greek vil- lage, and that for a reason which might have served quite as well for the select. ion of the name of any other places in- numerable. It difficult to understand how "Aroadia" was later rendered Acadia or Adadia, but the change was a good one, the latter name beiirg ad- mirable and apparently unique, and it has never been forgotten, although it is not written on our maps, there may be a possibility of its revival in ],lace of the objeotable and inappropriate names of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick if those provinces should become united ae one province, ae has been some time suggested, It an odd coincidence that Acedie is so similar to some native place names that has been supposed to be a partly obsolete word of an Indian language meaning "Land pf Plenty." New Brunswick was na4iied in honor of connections of the royal family in a former generation. Prince Edward Island bears the name of the Delco' of Kent, father r i Queen, Victoria Quebec was given the mane of the principal city tri, T807. We left Brest at 10 at night iu the American Red Cross train, It is quite a new experience for us to travel, 30 in a car, three bunks deep, down sack side with no screepa We passed through Ramas,Lyous, Lowes and oth- er places. Iii peace times, the trip takes 18 hours.but ave are taking three days The country is beautiful, the grass is green and buds arid flowers everywhere It is beautiful to think than a 'r h Cu indiane who are not returu- iug are sleeping in this beautiful lana. Jnet now we caught a glimpse of the Alps with snow on them. Hero we see the first brightsunshino ns it has rain- ed constantly. Our dirty old hospital train got into Marseilles at 2 p. in. and we all lugged our baggage aboard 'the Gloucester Castle. We did not see any thing of this place, There are lots of French people at the. dock trying to sell"d'oranges" and "ch000lat” to us, There are also a few Indian sold- iers, very stately in tnrbane. I will tell you in the next letter of our Med- iterranean trip. Naming the Provinces Glimpses of History of Our Own -"Dominion Canada (or 'Renate -as it may be writ- ten) is the plural of the Mohawk word Kanonsa, a house. When Jaques Car tier sailed up the St. Lawrence, a chief came on board his wonderful winged canoe, and of him - Cartier enquired, with a wave of the hand toward some huts on the shore, "What land is thief' to which the chief, not clearly under- standing made ropy, "Kaneta," mean- ing the huts and Renata or Canada the land thenceforth was and still is The Iroquois, who then possessed the banks of the St, Lawrence, were called JCanousiauni, the people of the Long- house, as they dwelt not in wigwams lint in huts, tuade large enough to accommodate several families, and lengthened from time to time as the families increased. A poet office w the County of Front- enso has the name of Oanonto, which is apparently a.varied form of Kanonsa cx Kenate, But "Adeline", is . absolutely inadmissible, - Nova Scrota was named Markland by the first -discovers, but received its- 'pre sent name from Seottieli immigrants to offset Novelle France and New Eng- land. The name was probably chosen Ontario at the same date took the name of the "Beahtiful Laite,'" Mahytoba, also taken from the name of a lake when the province was form d the name means th'e Voice of God. Me Lean in "Canadian Savage Folk," givee a lengthy explanation with a slight dif- ference of signification, which, however, is ranch the same in thin result. Saskatobewan was given the name of its groat river, "the swift running river" Alberta was named in honor of the late Prince Consort, British Columbia calla for no partienl ar remark, further than that the name Columbia has reached a very long dies' tance from its place of origin. Van- couver Island bears the name of a Brit- ish naval officer, who surveyed the ad. jaoent seas and inlets, The island was known to the Indians as Katohhtegau, "the plain," Athabasca has been explained as en geographical term, deecribiug land dot- ted "here and there" with swamps and musiregs, Perhaps somewhat of a libel giving etch features an uudrie promin- ence; there are plenty of awampa and muskegs in the other provinces. Keewatilr means "the north,* 'Thee name word have been better anti more dignified as "Keewaydlin." The Wet Spring In, some parts of Eastern Canada, especially, the continued wet weather that has characterized this season up to tine present has prevented the sowing of seine of the crops at the usual time and has had a tendency to discourage the farmer, • However, the possibilities of producing oropson land not yet pre- pared is still good providing the weat- her continues to improve end the right crepe are sown in the right way and properly looked after. All the cereals, even yet, may he ex- pected to prove satisfactory Sow oats and barley in the order uemed, The latter may be expected to give good yields seen in the first ten days , f June, Peas dud oats sown, equal perts by weight at the rate of r to 4 bushels per acre may be used as an aocomoda- crop since itis equally eatisfaoaory for green feed, hay, grain or even eneilage purposes. Buckwheat may be sown up to. July 10th with certainty of profitable returns even on, the poorer types of soils and where water does not stand. Millets and Flungarian grass are good forage producers sown before the mid- dle of July, For ensilage and forage purposes the standard varieties of corn are recom- mended including the dint varieties, Longfellow, Salzer's North Dakota and Compton's Early and the dent variet- ies Wisconsin No. 7, Golden, Glow White Cap Yellow Dent and Briley Mangels sown, immediately should come along satisfactorily. . Swedes thrive in such a season as we are having and may he expected to give good re- tinas sown anywhere before the end of June, Fall or White turnips are ex. celleit cattle feed, while not so 'lathe factory as Swedes for.most purposes do well if sown even as late as the end of July, Rape,for pasture ie of great eel. ire for swine, sheep or beef and young settle and rosy be sown as late as late the end of July.
