Thers | were charming youfix ladies in the | tearoom, and, indeed, all the re | pources And even superfluities that are considered indispensable to mod- wrate comfort in this stage of being. | Such paragraphs may be found id | newspapers every day, but what drew attention to this one particularly | was that a person might have stood on the spot Where this gathering took. place five years ago, and unless he had carefully grub-staked himsell would have been in danger of dying from hunger before he could work | Jiis wiy out of the bewildering wil- | derness of woods and mountains that | rose all about him. For that was | what it was--an untouched wilder- | ness. The only trees that had ever | fallen in the thick fir bush in the valleys were those that had succumb~ ed to age. The wild creatures of stream and hillside did mot know man well enough to be afraid of him; and now within five years' space 2 3 have & well-grown town, with its c gatherings made bright and elegant by the rich fabrics of the looms of France and Britain. The matter is worth remarking, for it constitutes a factor in every cal- culation that may be made as to mational growth If we were to ar- gue from Canadian progress in the past to Canadian progress in the future we would be egregiously mis- led, says The Toronto Globe Five | years alter John Galt cut the first { tree on the site of Guelph or Galt | there would scarcely have been re- | ceptions graced with Paris gowns and the other luxuries that arrive in a Rocky Mountain mining camp al- most as soon as the first shipment of ore goes out. Hon. James Young in his 'Public Men and Public Life in Canada' says that even as late as | 1858 matters were decidedly rude, | raw, and democratic in this Ontario | of ours "Every thing,"" he says, | "'produced on the farm or manufac- tured, which required to be exported as well as all kinds of groceries, hardware, and goods of every de scription imported into the interior of the country, had to be laboriously teamed by horses or oxen to or from tidewater House of stone or brick were still the exception in the country The surroundings of all but the wealthy classes, and es pecially of the farmers were rude and backward judged by present standards, The houses of the: latter ere scantily, often indeed roughly, furnished. In the country Canadian bomespun and the coarse tweeds and other woollens made at the old- fashioned woollen mills were still generally patronized. Luxuries of all kinds were scarce There was neither the wealth, the conveniences, the comforts, nor the pleasures which are now enjoyed by the great mass of Canadians in all the well-settled sections of the Dominion." The Province had been settled for more than fifty years, and yet these were the conditions in the fairest and most fertile portions of it. It must be thought that we make more pro- gress to-day in five years than fin fifty in the early days. The rallroad i is undoubtedly the great lover of pro- gress, and the speed of present-day settlement will bear the same rela Rion to the settlement of the past that the locomotive and cars bear to the springless ox-cart on the cordu- roy roads of primitive Ontario . ------------------------ HOW CANADA COMPARES. | Classes te Which Is Belongs as te Popu- iation and Resources Canadians are often at a loss to know how their country compares in size and population with others. A few parallels will cnable the average man to estimate the possibilities of the Dominion and the premier pro- vince. Canada with a population of 5,871,815 is iu the same class as the - Argentine Republic, with 4,794,149; Belgium, with 6,693,548; Afghanis- tan, 4,000,000; Bavarfa, 6,176,057; Suzoay. 4,200,000; Holland, 5,268, - 832; Portugal, 5,428,659; Roumania, 6,000,000; Siam, 5,000,000; Swed en, 5,175,228, Turkey in Europe, 6,- 000,000 But these countries differ widely from Canada in size. Afghanistan is somewhat smaller than Ontario; the Argentine Republic is about half as large as Ontario. If Canada was as thickly populated as Belgium is we should have a nation of 1,772 mil- lions. The area of Ontario is 222,000 square miles, and its population 2,- 182,947. Compare these with Cape Colony, population 2,483,000, area 221,311; Austria-Hungary, area 240,- 142 population 45,242,889; France, area 207,054 population 38,961,945; Madagascar, area 228,500, popula- tion 2,500,000; Grecce, populasion 2,434,000, area 25,014; Liberia, population 2,200,000, area 85,000; Morocco, area 220,000, population estimated at from two and a half to ten millions; Finland, population 2,-~ 673,200, area 144,255; Servia, popu- ation 2,493,770, area 18,630; Spain, area 194,788, population 18,618,086; Wenezuela, population 2,324,000, area 593,048; Norway, population 2,289,- 880, area 124,130; Wurtemburg, th half the area of On- hus a population of 82.475,- 8."
