Another and larger and more important addition to the population of Halifax, however, came at the conclusion of peace between the Mother Country and the Ameri- can colonies, in 1783, when thousands During the Napoleonic wars Halifax was the scene of many a demonstra- tion of British prowess. The priva- teers, fitted out by enterprising Haliâ€" gonians, frequently returned with their prizes. DistinguiShed French prisoners made use of the enforced hospitality of the citadel, built by Prince Edward, son of George IV., which still caps the highest ground and is a landmark far to sea. The first prizes of'the war of 1812 were brought by their British captors to Halifax, and it was to this capacious shelter that the Shannon brought the captive Chesapeake. It was from Halifax that the successful naval ex- pedition against the coast of Maine set sail. From its foundation, in 1749, Hall- fax has been a centre of British mili- tary activity, and it was established at the instance of the New England colonists, who had recognized the ad- vantages of the wonderful harbor, whence d’Aleille’s fleet had made its futile descent upon the New England coast in the course of the long war between France and Great Britain. With the outbreak of the European war, however, Halifax was again made military and naval headquarters for \British America, and many Ger~ man prisoners have been interned upon the well-guarded islands of its harbor. Eleven forts command its spacious waters, and up to 1905 Halifax was a busy British military point. In that year, however, all British regular troops were withdrawn and the care of Halifax and its fortifications was committed to the Government of Canada. The town was the first Englishâ€" speaking settlement in the midst of the French colonies of Acadia, and it speedily took on importance. Within five years from its founding it became the seat of British North American government. Its harbor is deep and ample, and said to be sufficient to float all the navies of Europe. l FSATESFEED MMHERS The most dainty structure built in this country by the bill and feet of birds is the nest made by the ruby~ throated humming bird, says T. Gil- bert Pearson. When completed it is scarcely larger than an English wal- nut, and is saddled on a small horizon- tal limb of a tree, often many feet from the ground. It is composed al~ most entirely of soft plant fibers, fragments of spidert’ webs sometimes being used to hold them in shape. The outer sides are thickly studded with bits of lichen, and practiced, indeed, is the eye of man or woman that can dis- tinguish it from a knot on a limb. Al- though the humming bird’s nest is ex~ ceedingly frail, there is nothing on re~ cord to show that any great number of them come to grief during the summer rains. It is, however, not called upon lfoma long terms of occupation. With. in a month after the two white eggs Iare laid the young depart on their tiny pinions. Young birds that require a longer period for growth before leaving the nest are furnished usually with more enduring abiding places. In the case of the bald eagle, the young of which do not fly until they are many weeks old, a most substantial structure is provided.

Here they are given instruction in commercial courses, stenography, [foreign languages, poultry farming, and braille, which fits them to take up_ the work that they have been ac- ;customed to. With an astonishing rapidity they are learning to read and to \write according to new methods. With a wonderful courage they are accus- toming themselves to new conditions and successfully combatting the dif- ficulties. So well are they availing themselves of the opportunities that Miss Holt is giving- them that already many of them are taking positions and earning as much as in the old days when they had sight. Difficulties Overcome. One of the supreme difficulties has been to teach the armless blind and this had at first been considered as quite hopeless. But a press cum- paign and the offer of prizes for in- ventions has resulted in suggestion of value, and the committee are at present doing all in their power to give aid to these men. One of the pupilse‘of the Lighthouse is attend- Halifax has always been essentially English. It is nevertheless surround- ed by the settlements, which the ear- lier French had established in that part of the world, beginning as early' as 1604, and it was not until 1710 that British sovereignty was definitely set up. There is one woman who is help- ing to make life possible again for these men.‘ Miss Winifred Holt, for twelve years previous to the war, had been giving up her life to the work of her Lighthouse for the Blind in New York. She realized that she could continue in France the work that she had been doing in America of re-edu- cating the blind, and sailed for Eu- rope in the spring of 9115. Of all the sufferers from the cruelty of war, there are none so afflicted as those who have been blinded in battle. Stumbling and uncertain as children in a great darkness, they come back to the world that they had known, the world that was color and old rememâ€" bered places, and where nothing re- mains but a great darkness forever. A LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND “Le Phare de France” Established for Re-educating Men Blinded in Battle. meaning gag The harbor is never closed by ice, and the development of the port as planned by the Dominion Govern- ments looks to one of the largest centres of water transhipment on this side of the ocean. When com- pleted these improvements will find Halifax as the climax of the grand Canadian transcontinental railway schemeâ€"the transhipment point in- tended to guarantee that Canadian goods will be entirely carried over British soil, the link in the great British “All Red" transport system. BENEFICENT WORK OF NEW YORK WOMAN IN PARIS. PARKER’S DYE WORKS, Limited The environs of Halifax are deâ€" lightful. The city is capped by its citadel, a picturesque Martello tower; and the Arm, a threeâ€"mile fiord, is marked by Chain Rock, whence a boom used to be stretched, with a frigate moored inside, to repel the enemy.

Quick Service Moderate Charges On account of the high price of leather, sabots, or wooden shoes, are in such demand in England that an English firm has had to decline a Bel- gian order for one hundred thousand pairs. The, mill workers and the school children are taking again to the clogs that were worn in earlier times. Those for children cost about seventy-five cents a pair. Grand Trunk Pacific officials say that 8 square miles of grazing land beyond their most northern station in Saskatchewan has been leased to a chh syndicate for a large dairy tafi'n. This is supposed to mark the beginning of a Dutch colony. Thor- oughbred cattle from Holland are to accompany the first comers as the foundation of a future herd. Dairy products have been gaining in import- ance, and the establishment of the in- dustry north of the wheat lands shows the possibilities of the country in the future. It is said of these men that they are always cheerful, that they never complain. Many of them age re- maining at Le Phare to teach others, for there will be more blind, and for these others the work must be en- larged; more teachers will be re- quired, more funds needed.

It is a work that must go on; but to these men there are none who could reque to give. They are ask- ing silently; only with their poor blind eyes are they asking to be helped, to be given a chance at life. To whatever else We may not give, to these we must give. They belong to all of us, for they are of all nations. Already three thousand men have been helped; some of them are resi- dents of the Lighthouse; some of them have been taught in the hospi- tals or have come as day pupils. Six weddings have taken place from the Lighthouse, two of the men marry- ing the nurses who saved their lives. It is a work that must go on; but to these men there are none who could refuse to give.
