Imagine the giant pines which stood on the site of the pres- ent skyscrapers, picture the primeval forest starting south of College street. Canada has fared far on the | road of nationhood since the Fathers | of Confederation shaped her destiny" in 1867, and Toronto beginning as a tiny hamlet in the forest is the Dom= inion's second city. It scarcely seems credible that the infant Toronto of 1796 had a possible rival in Fort | | Erie, and that even as to-day,.the | | building trade 125 years ago was af- | PLAALLLL | .| flicted with a shortage of labor and | material. Nevertheless, such seemed | to be the case. In the Toronto Referente Library | there is a quaint and apparently un- | | known little wolume privately pube | lished at Philadelphia in 1795, which | had something to say about "To- | rento," from an English visitor's | viewpoint. This early traveler had | come up from New York by sailing | ship, stage coach and canoe. | Newark on whose site stands Nia~ | gara-on-the-Lake, was, if you please, | the chief place in the province then. But both Toronto and Fort Erie were promising hamlets. It was a race n between the two, according to the | be-wigged ad ruffled English writer. | Says he in part, "Besides Newark | there are several important situations in this part of the province, which bid fair to become places of conse quence--Fort Erie, the head of Lake Erie and York, called by the natives | Torento." | | Even then thé prophetic eye of the | traveler seemed to visualize the fu- ture for the harbor and the city bor- dering it. "York, formerly Torento," continues he, " is situated on the best | harbor round the lake ;5-along the shores of "rhich great quantities of | fish are caught. A town is here in | great forwardness and should the seat of government be removed from Newark thence as it is contemplated, it will soon become a flourishing place." "From York to Lake Simeoe a tier of lots of 100 acres each is laid out on each side of the road called Dun- das street, granted for the express condition of building and improving on them within one year of the time they are taken up. Many of these places are now built upon and occupied." The German settlement, evidently around Schomberg and the Oak Ridges, is referred to, "On the east side," continues this writer, "and Joining the rear of these lots is a settlement of near 100 German fami- lies on an excellent tract of land, much of which is white oak woods. These Germans come in this summer furnished with everything necessary to make their situation comfortable. They are supported by a company which has liberally supplied them with teams, farming utensils and provisions, sent them a clergyman of their own country and is about to build them mills, a church and a school house." Then referring again to York, he remarks, "Orchards are a great state of f@rwardness for the age of this settlement, some 'of which al- ready bear fruit. Peaches, cherries pense--and often kill the hogs out in the woods, well fattened on nuts. Many valuable streams for water- works (did he ever dream that the mighty Niagara would be so harness- ed), run in every direction through the country, and on some of them to their owners, particularly sawmill, for the quantities of good timber and great demand for boards as more buildings are goiig " than carpen- begun by Py disbanded troops af- ter the peace of 1783, and being but little known to thre people of the United States, who had imbibed an control of the military, few emigrants bent their course this way until they SAY "DIAMOND DYES" "FREEZONE" Lift Off Corns!

If George Borrow were alive to-dsy what keen delight he would take In writing about the gypsy caravan, of Romany go about in horse-drawn wagons, covered, and concealing in their mysterious depths numbers of stolen children -- at least, so most youngsters are taught to believe. And horse trading, once the chief business of thesd nomads, has piven place to a much more modern traffic, Not quickly did the gypsies quit their horses and wagons. For years after the automobile became popular their quaint caravans might be seen on country roads or eity streets, un- changed. But now Romany is be- come motorized. To see a modern caravan, com- posed of several cars of varying sizes, ages and models, go hurrying through a city street, with perhaps a truck or two to carry the tents and more bulky posseagions, is to realize that after all these centuries the hand of modern civilitation has at last been laid upon. these mysterious' people. They ride in automobiles in a fash- ion all their own. Ten or fifteen pile into a five-passenger model with' much personal baggage and with lit- tle regard for the conventions. What does it matter if a few legs and arms project over the sides or if a head sticks through the rear 'curtain here and there? All the guile learned in years of swapping horses, that most gufleful of all occupations, has bgen brought over into trading automobiles, and the same member of the tribe who used to paint the old white horse chocolate colored, plump out the hol- lows in his flanks with some black magic and fill him with two-year-old spirits by dosing him with something now prohibited by the Eighteenth Amendment, now puts temporary patches on worn out tires, doctors old motors until they roar with power and with rare skill converts anti- quated cars into seemingly youthful and handsome vehicles. What effect this complete change of Hving is to have upon.the lives of these ancient peoples, who have kept contact with civilisation for so many centuries and remain untouched by fit, . cannot be forecast as 'yet, The women have not abandoned the festive, col- orful garb of Romany for motor togs, and the men "steadfastly refuse to dress in any of the accepted fashions for motorists. There are as many children as ever, too, and dogs, no longer able to keep up afoot, ride In state in the cars, along with children and other live stock. A Canadian Saint. The canopisation of Joan of Are has been completed, and she is now a saint. A patient investigation has been carried on for forty-five years and has ended in the complete vin- dication of the Maid of Orleans and the conceding to her of the divine powers which: French tradition ascribed to her. : It is reported from Rome that Canada is soon to have her first saint --8te.

As far back as 1878 proceedings were first taken towards the canonization of Marguerite Bourgeoys, whd was born at Noyes, in France, in 1620, but as a young girl came out to founded the Ladies of the Congrega- tion of Notre Dame, and died at the age of 80, In the year 1700.
