Reminded that the polyglot principle was opposed to the one-language sys- tem of Public Schools, Mr. Welsh said that it was absolutely essential; if the foreigners were to be reached, it must be through the medium of their own Janguage--for the present, at least. "Of course," he admitted, "we recog- of commerce and civilization, but the country must pass through the poly- glot stage before that can be reached. The colporteur must work In the poly- glot transition." He recalled that it was once custom- ary in the Saskatchewan for even Eng- lish and French to learn Cree that they might converse with the natives. "That, of course, was a phase of pro- gress and a mark of the old regime," he said. "It must pass out. English will conquer--but through polyglot. The Indian work Is not our chief work. It is the European and Asiatic forelgn- ers who are coming into that country in such large numbers that we must work on. And that is a big work." ion ree Ait Birth Rate In French Canada, The birth statistics of Montreal, which have just been published, should delight the heart of President Roose- velt. The mean birth rate for the seventeen years up to and including the-year 1903 was 88.92 per 1,000 of the population. The French-Canadian birth rate was 49.08 per 1,000; that of the other Catholics, 24.87; that of the Pro- testants, 23.41. In one section of the population at least there is no race suicide. London, England, had tn 1901 a ratio of 29. 1,000; Glasgow, 31.7; 26.7; St. 25.8; Madrid, 30.2. The French-Cana- dians of Montreal lead the world in the matter of obeying the biblical com- mand to "Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth." Growth of Winnipeg. The building record in Winnipeg is greater than ever. Compared with the total figures for previous years it shows a marvellous increase. In last year's record several millions were represent- ed by the new C. P. R. terminals, the Eaton block, the gas works improve~ ments and other large structures. There are over 1,200 more buildings this year to date than last year, but the majority of these are residences. The report, which speaks for itself, is as follows: -- 1904--Permits, 1,768; buildings, 2,268; commis- | cost, §9,651,760. 1905--Permits, 2,761; buildings, 3,539; cost, $9,637,950, Wife Talked Back.

Referring to ancient civilizations in the east, Napoleon one day said to Gourgaud: "All this leads me to think that the world is not so very old, at least, as . inhabited by man, and within one or two thousand years I am disposed to accept the chronology appended to the sacred writings, I think {that man was formed by the heat of the sun acting upon mud.
