He shrugged his shoulders, went out

You Can't ever do enough to avoid
carrying some sort of odor about you.
All the things you touch—the leather

SARGENT
The tame house, the town house, it is not to. my mind—
With rigid rubber plant before and cabbages behind.
The mason and the carpenter may work for townfolk still,
But I have built a wee .!,ruse upon a windy hill.
My own house, my brown house, is very near the sky;
The dawn is at my window before the day is high,
And when the darkened valley has lost the westering light
My glowing, golden hilltop with sunset still is bright
The cold wind, the bold wind,my wee house cannot shake,
Though dry leaves go whirling, though oak boughs bend and
break ;
It rushes o'er the ridgepole and whimpers down the flue --
My tight walls, my stone walls, it cannot whistle through.
The shy birds, the wild birds, nest boldly in my trees;
They educate their fledglings in fearless nurseries ; -
All lightly, all sprightly, they swing among the leaves
And scold marauding squirrels that rustle in my eaves.
No town -bought seeds are planted in formal garden • ways,
But, rare and sweet, the wild flowers go marching through
my days.
With violet and columbine, or autumn goldenrod,
The blessed hilltop glows beneath the -very smile of God.
My dear house, my own house, I'm climbing up to you,
Where all the air is free and clean, and all the sky is blue.
The tame folk, the townfolk, may have whate'er they will;
But I will have my brown house upon a windy hill!

In the resumption of immigration on

British immigration to Canada has'
always had a tendency towards the in-

and with 800 followers in the 1920

laborers and 186 of the trading class.
Whilst only 86 are listed from the Bri-

would presuppose the omission from.

second, his younger brother, was en-

fish which he had caught with a line:
from the deck. They took off the old-
er man's helmet and relieved him of
hie apparel—the cuirass of bronze and
leather, and the rest of the suit all
impermeable, ending in the shoes, with
soles of lead.
" 'Come, hurry up!' said the captain•
to the younger roan, pointing to the
armor:
"The little Jap knew that Europeans
are always nervous: and in a hurry.
Time is, money, especially when a
minute may represent two or three
thousand francs. The substitute wiped
his hands on his linen drawers and
started to find a basin` In which to
