speech of his life. Point by point h
answered the nertinen,: question
that had been hurled duringth,

Canada, as it had been painted b
the opposition, was illuminated with
sunshine and prosperity. He hat
never been regarded as an orator
although he had been a member of
the legislature 'from 1858, but on this
one occasion he made his name.
When he wiped the perspiration from

The peninsula of Portland beats
even Brighton, and is probably the
healthiest spot in the Ilritislt Isles.
1 he all Is splendid, the people live
simply and work hard, and they are
remarkably temperate. In the last
y oar for which statistics are avail-
able, the average age of tho persons
buried in the local graveyard was 01
years, and this out of a population
of 11,000! The people of Portland
are ,ald 'to be descended from the
ancient Phoenicians, who landed in
Britain more than two thousand
years ago, and they are not only the
healthiest, but perhaps the tallest
race in lingland.

Is a pateh of country in North Bucks,
Bedfordshire, and Hertfordshire,
running from Dunstable about twen-
ty miles north, which Is locally re-
nowned for the long life And health
of its inhabitants. It is a ridge of
chant and green -sand, has singularly
pure water, and is very free from
rheumatism, the principal disease of
the flat country of central England.
The Buckinghamshire Chilterns
have a well-deserved reputation for
freedom from disease, and the vil-
lage of Penn is particularly noted tor
the long life and good health of its
inhabitants,
The healthiest place in France is
the hamlet of Aumone. Its popula-

Europe there is only one place to
equal this record, the village of Cu -
bona, in Spain, Here, for a recent
period of eight years, there was not
a single death, and so little illness
that the local doctor gave it up as a
bad job and left the place. The
undertaker also migrated.
Denver, Colorado, beats the world's
record for sunshine. It actually has
only nine days in 365 on whieh the
sun fabs to stake an appearance.
This, with Its dry mountain air and
cool nights, makes it in some respects
the healthiest place in the world. The
place cures consumption, and the only
patients whom it does not benefit are
those suffering from heart disease,
who cannot stand the .gr: at height.

Ideas Worth Fortunes.
The number of fortunes which
have been made front simple little
invention:: 3s truly surprising, But,
Chem it is the simple things which
everybody wants—and buys.
One of the earliest tnntor-car for-
tunes was made by the man rho in-
vented the motor horn. Prior to his
invention such 0 tiling did not exist,
Nowadays It Is practically impossible
to go out without hearing one.
A new device whieh will probably
bring a yortune to the elretriaal en-
gineer who invented it is a storage
battery v:hich can be carried in a
coat pocket, and yet contains suffi-
cient electrical energy to drive a
motor -car for ten days without re-
charging. The discovery, although
only in the experimental stage as yet,
seems capable of profoundly affecting
all branches of industry.
Supply and Demand.
A tourist from America doing Ire-
land was admiring a !lock of geese:

He enquired the price they would
fetch in the market, and on being
told remarked that it was far too low,

hank the Hon, iMlinister of Educe -

anted by a series of practical ractical exer-
scs suitable for all grades.
6. That the maps in the Public
School Geography are not satisfac-
tory as they are very indistinct.
G. That two-thirds of the Litera-
ture selections for Entrance be from
•twenty selected lessons from the
