The recent formation of the Anti-

wood resources of. the island of. the
same' name in oro of the first incidents
lin many years to: draw •attention to
this itititerestiug; va'luablebut neglected
bit of Quebec province.
Anticosti is'a Targe island•lying off
the Gaspe 'coast, at the inner end of
the ..Gulf of St. Lawrence, and"at the
mouth of the great river. It. is situ-
ated between the 4911 and 5015 de-
grees otelatitude (nearly the same as
that of the north of France). It con-
tains an area of 2,460,000 acres' of
land of the best gniality,• similar, said
the late Sir William Logan, the emin-
ent Canadian.geologist, to the fine
araHbe soil of Ontario, and the Genesee
county, New York State. It possesses
over 800 miles. of sea coast, is about
140 miles_ long, and 35 miles broad in
the widest part, with an average
breadth of 27% miles, Anticosti slopes
gradually from its elevated northern
coast to the grassy savannas which
skirt the. southern shore,, and thus, in
a great measure, the fertie, portions
of the country• are protected from
severe winter winds. Its climate_ is
very healthy. The winter's cold is
considerably* tempered by the waters
of the Guff' of St. Lawrence and the
heat of the summer is, to a certain ex-
tent, moderated by the same influence
Vegetation progresses very rapidly,
and crops come to perfection in good
season. The soil is of good'quality,
being rich loam intermixed: with lime-
stone; valuable forests are to be found
on the greater part of the `island i and
although the timber generally is not,
of the' largest size, it is of a superior
quality, and well adapted for ship-
building and pulpwood..
The fisheries around'; the island,
which have been hitherto comparative-
ly neglected, are valuable and import-
ant.
The seal fishery, which could be car-
ried on here as well in `winter es, in
summer, might' be turned to profitable
account, 'large numbers of these ani-
mals being' visible during the former
season, and thousands . of them being
observed in the summer aid autumn at
the entrance of almost wit the bays and
rivers, where they reniein eompara-
tively unmolested.
Hunting on the island is of consid-`
erable value, though of far less im-
portance than its fisheries. The ani-
ma:s found on the island, whose skins
are of marketab2o value, are black
bears, which are very abundant, et-
1ers, martens, and the silver grey, red,
black, and, sometimes the white fox.
Great quantities of ducks, geese, and
other wild` fowl resort to the lakes and
bays of the island. There is also
understood te, be a few reindeer on the
island, placed there for purposes of
climatlzing.
A company was once formed dor the
purpose. of colonizing the island of
Anticosti, and for working and devel-
oping its resources. • They laid' out
town sites at *Ellis Bay, Fox Bay, and
at the South West Point, and divided
the. island into twenty counties, of
about 120,000 acres, each subdivided
into five townships. - The scheme was

In youth, he was sent to London,
and arpprenticed to a mercer -a dealer
in silks ani, woolens. Atter a few
years, hie masher died, and Caxton
went abroad, proba.biy, it is . thought,

in such a way that the .manuscript
copies of works could be changed to
printed copies.
He shut himself up in a ruined mon-
astery, near Strasbourg, and went to
work. He invented the type and press,
the ink and, inking bails, with which
the feet .printing was done.
Caxton, who had continued to live
upon the Continent, became mooch in-
terested, and decided to study the art,
of printing at a time when he must
have been about fifty stns mare old,:.
It is thought that he learned at Co-
logne, at considerable expense, as he
himself says.
He bought type, and it was at Co -
lone, in 1471,; that he printed the,
"History of Troy," a French work,
which he had translated—"the first
English book that ever mance from any .
press."

Sentiment vs. Economics.
BY CRAaLnS w. ParalasoN.
To these who see in the phenominai
prosperity of the. United States and
the magnetic attraction it has for the
people of Canada, a tendency Width
might, some day easily lead t -e weak-
ening of the ties that bind Canada to
the'British Empire, our present econ-
omic position is not entirely reassur-
ing. Because history e7o wa that ho
the course of time economic considera-
tions wile invariably prevail over pa-
triotic sentiment. While we cannot
hope to outstrip our powerful neigh-
bor, we can come much nearer creat-
ing opportunities for our own people
at home than we are doing at present
and thus arresting the debilitating
leak of cur precious vital asset and
stifling the inferiority complex we
have unconsciously created in our
public mind, which cannot be without
its important influence upon the indi-
vidtiM decision leading to southbound
migration.
THE NATION'S BACKBONE.Settlers From U.S. it is useful to arrive at a clear ap-
preciation of the general economic
effect of an •em'larged' agriculture. The
average person readily gives intellect-
ual assent to the time -worn phrase
that agriculture is the "backbone of
the nation," but usually without posi-
tive conviction or any adequate con-
ception
onception of the fundamental facts of
the case. It is generally a mere figure
of 'speech. It is, therefore, well to
consider briefly to what extent agri-
culture has been responsible for Can-
ada's material progress. ; Forty-one
per cent: of our net production . in the
fast 0oneus year was agricultural;
Only 10 werenotof the faamfng class. thirty-three per cant. manufacturing.
