Child Jesus lay"asleep in the hay."
The writer of our hymn who was
born in London on December 5, 1830
and died there on December 29, 1894,.
was Christina Georgina Rossetti, a
poetess who gained such a reputation
that strong representationswere
made to have her appointed Poet
Laureate of England. The first poem
she published, "Goblin Market," won
her renown, enhanced by subsequent
books such as "A Pageant and other
Peleliu," "Nursery Rhyme Book,"
"Called to be Saints," and many tran-
slations from the Italian,

Queldn Lost .11:4,100 Square Miles fie
BBolrnchtem Settlement,
The Labrador boundary dispute
between Canada .and Newfuurtdland
ilrst took scrims proportions in 1903,
Following art action by Neeefounii-
land in letting eei taro timber limits
on the .Hamilton river.
With .he d .lite ration customary
with governments it drae•ged on. for
many years. elite years were eon-
sum.ed alone in deciding what, Would
be the wording of the appeal to the
,Judicial Committee of the Privy
Coutrcll. Tile wording finally decided
upon was as follows: "What is the
location and definition of the boun-
dary as between Canada and New-
foundlaud in the Labrador. Penin-
sula, under the .Statutes, Orders -in -
Council and Proclamations?"'
The answer, delivered on March
1st, 1327, was: '"The boundary be-
tween Canada and Newfoundland in
the Labrador Peninsula is a line
drawn due north from the Bay or
Harbor of Blanc Sabion, as far as
the 52nd degree of nor -h latitude
and front thence'. westward along that
parallel until It reaches the Romain
river; then northward along the
right or east bank of that river and
their headwaters to their source and
from theni;e due north to the Brest of
the watershed ur height of land
there and from thence' westward and
northward along the crest of the
watershed of the rivers flowing into
the Atlantic Ocean until it reaches
Cape Chidley."
The area in question comprised
112,400 square miles, including 60,-
000 square miles of valuable timber
lands and water powers.
Though the case turned on the
meaning of the word "coast" as used.
3n old instruments dating back •to
1763, it concerned chiefly a treaty
made in 1825 between Quebec (then
a separate colony) and Newfound-
land.
The . Canadian claim was • that
"coast" meant the fishing coast,. but
Newfoundland held that "coast" was
used to imply all the land east of the
watershed. of rivers flowing into the
Atlantic, much as we mean when we
refer to the .Atlantis Coast States.
This claim was upheld by the Ju-
dicial Committee, Reservations in
favor of Canada .Included the. • dis-
missal of Newfoundland's claim re-
garding the southern boundary of
Labrador which would have given it
part of the triginal..Provinceof Que-
bec and the cession to Canada of the
disputed Woody Island, opposite the
Bay of Blanc Sabion.'
Bythe decision, Canada's na
da
sur
area is
reduced from 3,797,123' square miles
to 3,684,723 square miles.
SCOTS WERE PROTECTED.
In James' Day It Was a Misdemeanor
to Speak Against the Scots.
There are many examples in the
annals of Parliament of punishments
inflicted upon members for over -
freedom of speech, In the reign of
Queen Elizabeth the House of Com-
mons ordered that Sir Francis Hall,
a member of the House, "for Lewd
speeches ai well in the House ea
abroad he shall be charged, and all
knowing his speeches to assemble
forthwith in the Committee Chamber
to put such words in writing and to
deliver, them to the Speaker: Hall,.
broughtto the Bar by the Sergeant,
submitted himself to the House,
acknowledging w1
edgt
M
his error and upon.
the question was remitted with good
exhortation by the Speaker at large."
In James' day it was a ,high mis-
delaeanoir to say a word agains� the
Scots:' It is recorded in the House
of Commons journals that "Sir
-•Gh•'riscepher-Ieiggott, for a bitter and
scandalous invective : against the
Scots, was sent to the Tower there
to -remain during the pleasure of the
House."
So long ago as the days of Queen
Bess it was ordered that "taking fee
reward by amember of the House
for his voice in furtherance or hind-
rance of a 13i11 is punishable:"
A Soots' Dictionary.
The scheme for the production of
a great Scottish dictionary must ap-
peal to every Scotsman with a germ
of national consciousness in him, for
he is thus assured that, whatever the
ultimate fate of the spoken tongue,
the language of his forbears (which
sill remains the language of the ma-
jority of his countrymen) will be
pireserved for all time.
It is curioushow prevalent the
idea te, even among Scots them -
Selves, that the old native tongue is
a mere dialect of standard English:
According to F. Marian McNeill, In
the Scots' Observer, Scots is no more
closely allied to English than Dutch
is to Flemish, Danish. to Swedish, or
Portuguese to Spanish.
