Gace relates an anecdote which he had personally from the Prince de Ligne, whose great-grandfather refused the Bel- gian throne because his own title and rank as the first nobleman of Belgium seemed to him "quite as good and far stabler than that of king of the little buffer kingdom newly formed out of such different elements by the Congress of Vienna." The present Prince de Ligne said to Mr, Gade: "l want to tell you something which I wish you always to remem- ber, and to tell your children, The history of; this war will some day he written, Howéver 't may be written, here is the truth from me to you, On the evening when the fateful ultimatum was delivered, giving Bel- gium twelve hours in which to decide whether to allow the German armies to cross Belgium in order to strike immediately at the heart of France, 1 was sitting with King Albert and the Queegy of Brussels. The order was handed to his Majesty, I saw a great wave of emotion sweep through him; he rose and went to his wife, She read what he held. Then she stretched her two hands out to grasp his and I saw, as it were, the soul of one reach out for the other. His Ma- jesty turned to me and said: 'Mon prince, g'll faut meourir, mourons avec honneur!' ('Prince, if death must come, let us die honorably!')" From the windows of the house of Monsiegneur ----, a professor in the University of Louvain, Mr. Gade looked upon the blackened ruins and turned to ask his host how it was bearable to live among such horrors. The priest answered: "We leave tham yet a little while, lest we forget something. "Yes, it is better thus, for after all, who could reconstruct from memory all that hdd been the slow work of centuries?" "Safe in the vaults of the cellar" of the university librar, Mr. Gade's guide drew a photograph from under his robe. It showed the fromt en- trance in relief against a cloud of smoke.

The Story of Norway's Past and Pre: sent Briefly Sketched. In these days, when the question democracy [8 80 'mueh mm thoughts, it iz inter esting to notice, if only for a moment, a country which, with much show of justice, can claim te be one of the most democratic ip the world. The story of Norway stretches back many centuries, to n|the very beginning eof things io Northern Europe, and the tales of h|the "hardy Norsemen," the Vikings or creek dwellers, as they were call- dled, and how they swept . down in their high-prowed ships, and rav- aged the coasts of France and Eng- land, rank foremost amongst those tales of high adventure~which char- d [acterize the history of Northern Eu- rope as it emerges out of the Dark d | Ages into the Middle Ages. First of all, they were the veriest marauders of passage, these Vikings 1|---a swift descent and then away to sea again--but, after a time, they a| began to settle at the mouths of all rivers, until, in the ninth century, g|there was a Norse camp at the e| mouth of practically every river of p| France. And so the Norseman Rollo o| bartered his favor to the King of France for the Duchy of Normandy, in the early days of the tenth cen- altury, and from Normandy, William the Norman sailed, some hundred and fifty years later, to the conquest of England. Meanwhile, Norway . | been struggling toward some kind of national unity. First, many head men had become many kings, and at last Harold Haarfager, by his vie- tory over these in A. D. 891, found- ed the Kingdom of Norway, though it was not until many years after- ward that the whole of Norway could a| be induced to submit to one com- d| mon law. Norway claims {hat this took place in 872, and so, in the year d]| 1872, she celebrated the little. known fact that for 1,000 years the d | country had existed as a monarchy It is indeed one of the oldest mon- archies in the world, but the story of how \it came to have one of the most democratic constitutions in the waorld is another story. It happened in this wise. the Napoleonic wars the d | Denmark clung steadfastly of everyone's ' i herself had During King of to the cause of Napoleon, but when Marshal Bernadotte had been made Crown Prince of Sweden, under the name of Prince Carl, as he was in 1813, he lost no time in joining the Grand Alliance. For his services to the al- h|liance against his old master, the allies rewarded him with the crown of Norway in addition to that of Sweden, thus divorcing Norway from Denmark, to which it had been an- nexed since the days of Queen Mar- garet, in 1387. ad The Norwegians, however, would hive none of any such arrangement. With a long and worthy history be- hind them, they had no ni'nd to be cast in a bargain at the pleasure of o | allied statesmen or any otherdstates- men, and they straightway refused to y | ccept a convention which had been settled and signed behind their backs. A national assembly was summoned to meet at Eidsvold by o | Prince Christian Frederick, the last Danish Viceroy, and, after framing a constitution based on that of the | United States and on that of France in 1791, they proceeded to elect the Prince King of Norway. ° To frame a constitution and elect gl 8 king was one thing, but to uphold the arrangement against all comers was quite another. Moreover, Prince Christian Frederick was not the man to do it. He was weak and vacillat- ing, and, finally, after some fighting, . | negotiations were opened. Christian Frederick abdicated, but the King of Sweden consented to Norway retain- ing the Constitution which had been framed at Eidsvold. Norway, more- over, was to have a separate army, and was declared to be 'a free, in- dependent and indivisible kingdom, united with Sweden under one king." The two kingdoms, however, never ran comfortably in double harness. Norway was forever, 'n countless dif- ferent ways, manifesting jealousy for its independence, whilst Sweden was forever reading suspicion into its every act.

Market created for by returned soldiers on New Ontario farms. { Estimated, $4,500,000 or §5,000,- 000 additional revenue for the Prov- ince of Ontario. These are features of a big new scheme, details of which were made public by the Hon. G. Howard Fer- guson, Minister of Lidnds, Forests, and' Mines for Ontario, when the ten- der of Messrs. Mundy & Stewart, To- ronto, was accepted with respect to the Kapuskasing River pulp and timber limit. The successful tenderer enters into an agreement with the Crown, requiring him to erect within the limits of the territory covered by the right to cut pulpwood, or at. some other place approved by the Lieu- tenant-Governor in Council, a pulp mill costing," with the equipment thereof, and machinery contained therein, not less than one million dollars, and will operate the same so that the daily output thereof shall not be less than one hundred tons of pulp, and so that at least two hun- dred hands on an average shall be kept employed in copnection there- with for at least ten months of each and every year. 4 "In inviting tenders ve asked for & straight flat rate," said Mr. Grigg, the Deputy Minister, which means that the Government will receive the same price for all classes of wood. The price In the present case is 75 cents per cord for all classes of wood, spruce, balsam, poplar, jackpine, etc., and $15 a thousand feet for pine. An Interesting feature is that the new pulp and paper plant will be located near the retufned soldiers' settlement at Kapuskasing, so that not only will it be the means of es- tablishing a market for the farm produce the soldiers will raise, but if the soldiers desire employment in the winter months, when things are quiet on the farm, they will be able to secure it in the pulp and paper mill. It is estimated that the Province will receive an additional revenue of $4,600,000 or $5,000,000 as a result of the agreement just concluded in connection with the Kapuskasing scheme. iquare be plant employing 200 produce raised .
