THE EAST AND THE WEST.
How The Population Of Canada Is
Divided Up.
Canada's centre of population is
near Ottawa, and is moving west.
Canada's western population fifty
years ago, 8,000. To -day it is estimat-
ed at 800,000,
Canada's western population is 75
per cent. British and Canadian born;
25 per cent. foreign born.
Canada's west is being largely built
up by Ontario's sons.
In 1901, 121,451 Ontario -born people
had moved to the west.
One out of every 3i in Canada is of
French descent.
1,619,371 out of 5,371,315 are
French descent.
Quebec Province has 1,322,115
French descent and 290,000 British.
Ontario Province has 150,000
French descent.
There are 10,000 of French descent
in the Canadian west.
The United States census of 1900
shows 1,181,255 from Canada.
Density of population to square
mile :-Prince Edward Island, 51.0;
Nova Scotia, 22.3 ; New Brunswick,
11.8; Ontario, 9.9 ; Quebec, 4.8; Mani-
toba, 3.9; British Columbia, 0.4.
-The report of the Provincial In-
spector of Insurance gives statistics of
the friendly societies registered by the
province. The 27 societies giving life
insurance had a total membership of
262,751. The insurance in force on
Dec. 31 was $1,581,583,326. During the
year $2,328,979 was paid in insurance.
The total assets were $15,209,357, and
the liabilities $1,687,638. The 73 socie-
ties giving sick and funeral benefits
had 74,861 members. There were 1,502
deaths, and $02,845 was paid in fune-
ral benefits. The number of members
who drew sick benefits was 22,899, and
the sum paid them was $472,741, while
$58,279 was paid for medical attend-
ance. The total assets were $1,701,153
and the liabilities only $22,85551.
-The new butter -making machine
is so handy that it might very well be
placed on the tea table as an accessory
to the cups and teapot, and yet not
look out of place. As you want your
butter so you can make it, given the
requisite amount of cream, with a
temperature of sixty degrees. One
churn does not even need a can for
holding the cream. The cream is
placed in the vessel so that the "dash-
er" is in the centre and about 4 in.
below the surface. The handle is then
turned slowly for a few seconds and
then at a good speed, and within one
minute butter is formed. If some
fresh cold water be poured in and the
handle turned slowly two or three
times, the butter is ready for washing
and making up.

BUDDHA'S DECALOGUE.
Buddha, the great religious teacher
of India, bas at the present time about
300,000,000 followers. Condensed into
10 short precepts, his doctrines may
be given as follows :
1. From the meanest insect up to
man thou shalt kill no animal what-
ever.
2. Thou shalt not steal.
3. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
4. Thou shalt speak no word that
is false.
5. Thou shalt drink no wine or any-
thing to intoxicate.
6. Thou shalt avoid all anger, hat-
red and bitter language.
7. Thou shalt not indulge in idle or
vain talk.
8. Thou shalt not covet thy neigh-
bor's goods.
9. Thou shalt not harbor pride,
envy, revenge or malice, nor desire
the death or misfortune of thy neigh-
bor.
10. Thou shalt not follow the doc-
trines of strange gods.
the cost of production and sale. If
those trusts do reduce the cost, and
there is not much doubt about their
doing so, certainly the saving is not
going to the consumers, for the bulle-
tin mentioned shows that the cost of
living is being greatly increased., The
lowest average price ever registered
for Necessary daily consumption oc-
curred in July, 1897, when Dun's In-
dex Number wits 72.45. At the pres-
ent time this index number is approxi -
mutely 99. This means that the cost
of living is over twenty-five per cent.

ing so? As for the man on fixed sal-
ary, these piping times are his misery. -
The more they pipe the deeper his

level of six hundred in the old bad
times. He finds everyone fleecing him

A NEW STRONGHOLD.
1^!
The " Big Store, l l Wingham,
_ r_+ q1
One of the first -fruits of the new
agreement between Great Britain and
Japan is the raising of Singapore to
the position of a naval base. The set-
tlement has long been regarded as an
important strategic point, as it practi-
cally holds the key of the Southern
Pacific, commanding the maritime
avenue between China and Eastern
Asia and Europe. It is a place of call
for the three great lines of steamers
bdlonging, respectively, to England,
France and Germany. A glance at
the map shows how the long, stragg-
ling Malay Peninsula, stretching to
the south from Burma and flanked by
its islands, ]night be made a formida-
ble centre for naval operations in the
event of war. The island of Singa-
pore is about twenty-seven mile;; long
by fourteen broad, and is separated
from the peninsula by a narrow chan-
nel. It has extensive fortifications
placed on anumber of small islands
snrrounding it, which shelter and pro-
tect the harbor. Realizing the im-
portance of the position, and desiring
to have the power of •actively aiding
Japan, in the event of that power be-
ing assailed by any other nation,
Great Britain has now acquired pos-
session of the Tanjong Pager Docks,
which will afford anchorage for a
large fleet and give facilities for re-
pairs and refitting of ships. By this
means the English Government is
affording opportunities for the con-
venience of ships of all nations in
times of peace, and has increased Its
power of controlling the movements
of a fleet in time of war. It is proba-
ble that the new acquisition will aid
materially in the development of com-
merce, and in the security of those in-
terests which the treaty between Eng-
land and Japan is intended to pro-
mote.
