How "The Mettle Leaf Forever'
came to be written by Alexander Muir
is related, in the follovving interestiug
narrative by Lieut. -Col, A. In Bele:her,
first vico..preeideet of the Ontaelo His-
torical Sellety,
had the pleasure of knowing the
Author some years; before he wrote

immediately opposite his small house,
• was what was then called Leslie's Car -
dens. Where they raised fruit and
other trees for, sale; . it was quite a,
park as well, as other kinds of trees
grew there. *
We, young men' coming from but -

elollars per week at the then farmers'
taverns sithe•ted in the vichilty 'of Mar-

on Sunday we would take a nice long

Were like the countrys•ide. • Our friend,
Alexander Muir, lived in a small house
almost opposite the gates of the gar-
• degs. At times he asked me into the
house, and we enjoyed a chat, so I had
the good fortune of knowing Alexand-
er Muir in other days.

"Out fn the farming district where

that we had just butenered, "there

times he would even get through the
winter on borrowed pork, 'sell his
hogs and then be ready to borrow

"But one year the indifference of
some of his neighbors caueedshim,;• to
butcher a little earlier than usual, and
he asked a neighbor who was almost
as silliness as himself to help him.
All through the work of scalding and
scraping he kept comeffaining that by
Das nine he had .paid off his' borrow-
ings for the year there -would be little
left for himself.
"At last, as they hung the dressed
hog up between the poles to cool, the
neighbor said, 'Why dela yOu get up

Ao most people know, the tines aer
Produced by twq'paire of waves, waiele
travel rental the eerth daily, the great
er pair preduced by the poll of the
Moon, the entailer by the attraction o
the sun.
So fax, simple enough, and if the
earth' s surface was all water the tides
would be perfectly regular. But no
tidal wave can travel very far before
it, bumps against land, aud the results
are exceedingly compilcated.
For instance, there is a strip of the
southern coast of England which' has
double tides. These occur from South
aninton to a little beyond Poole, and
it is to this phenomenon that South-
ampton owes its position as one dr
Britaia's greatest seaports, for at
nearly all times there is water to al-
low of the biggest ships coming in.
At Colombo, in Ceylon, the sarne
thing may be sew—four tides daily
instead of two; but the oddest freak
of all Is at Papeete, one of the Society
Islandsnin the South Pacific, where
high tide occurs Always between mid-
da.y and two o'clock. •
On British coasts the biggest tides
sire M the Bristol Channel, Where, at
the mouth of• the Avon, the difference
between ordinary high and low tide is
40ft. At Chepstow, a little farther up
tlae Severn, it is 62 ft. This huge tide
pouring up an ever -narrowing funnel
causes the roaring wave called the
Severn Bore.
• The biggest tide In, the world is in
the Bay of Fundy, where the "extreme
rise .and fall differs by 70 ft. TIP
Stony -Creek, at the b.ead ,af the bay,
the, tidal wave rushes at 9.61 miles an
hour. , •
The smallest tide so fax observed is
in Lake Superior.' It does, not rise
more than 1% in.
