The waters of the Nile, which at-

leaving behind them a rich, fertile

of Islands. To these the canny Egyp-

moment to plant melon -seeds, so that
the melon -planta may mature, and
fruit ripen, before the waters begin
to rise again In June. One of the

About Poirier's appointment to thr
Senate there le an Ottawa legend.
Poirier, a strong Conservative, was
postmaster to the House of Commove.
The story gees that Sir John Mac-
donald, lacing the possibility that oue
of his measures would be rejected In
the Upper House (the Mackenzie ad-
mintstratton had resulted In his hav-
ing but a precarious majority there)
ono day suddenly summoned Polder
from his poet ofilce, swore him into a
00)1510 vacancy, and saw him vote his
measure to meccas the tety next day.
Whether this story le a legend and
nothing more, It Is difficult to say. In
ally event the appointment proved a
good one, Pottier, descended from an
old Acadian family, was a (Retin-
guished member of the legal profes-
sion (being a member of the Bar
both in New Brunswick and Quebec)
and was also distluguiehed an a writ-
er. He has been long connected with
a number of French-Canadian liter-
ary societies, and in addition to hav-
ing produced a scholarly work on
"L'Orlgine dee Acadlene" and "Le
peeler Franco-Acadien et sea orfg-
inee," he ban been an active contribu-
tor to lite newspapers and reviews.

the Legion at Honor. He lives in the

BRITAIN'S COINAGE.
Monetary Laws Promulgated by King
Athelatan In 828.
A new Great Seal of the Realm Is
now being prepared, according to the
annual report of Sir Robert Jackson,
tiro deputy master of the Royal Mint.
In his report Sir Robert reveals
the interesting fact that 1926 w,.a
the 1,000th anniversary of the mss 1••
mitigation of the Monetary Laws by
King Athelstan at the Council of
firateley in 928, but coinage opent-
Uons In London, he says, were car-
ried out long before that date.
The total number of pieces struck
In the Mint in 1928 was 228,046,024,
a number which has been exceeded
only in the years between 1916 and
1921, when war and post-war de -
mantle for British bronze coins
reached unprecedented tlgures.
The average for the ten years end-
ing 1927 was 220,950,115.
There was no Britislh gold coinage
during the year, but the coinage of
siker was the largest for many years
past -72,446,244, nearly three times
the number in the Preceding year.
Iteferring to the new alloying
metal for the silver cotnage, Sir
Robert gives the composition for the
first time—silver 50 per cent., copper
40 per cent., nickel 5 per cont„ and
zinc 6 per cent.
The demand for the medal struck
to commemorate the tenth anniver-
sary of the Armistice, the report says,
exceeded expectations. Up to leaf
October 6,822 had been sold, taclud-
ing four in gold. The meduls are in
two elzee, and the sales comprise
1,290 large specimens and 6,532
small specimens,

Curfew Still Rings.
At Chertsey, a village In Surrey,
from September to the following
March the curfew bell has been rune
for centuries, says an Old Country
paper. Chertsoy has interesting cur-
few associations to maintain. The
original curfew bell in Chertsey Ab-
bey tolled for the funeral of Henry
VI„ murdered lu the Tower of Lon-
don and hurried to Chertsey to be
buried. It figured also in the legend
—once so popular with elocutionists
—which tells flow Blanche Herriot
to sate her lover, who ]lad been con-
demned to Ole at curfew, climbed the,
lower and seined the clapper of the
bell, determined that "curfew shall
