Another mariner of St. Malo-Francis Greve-began the colonization of the land. l About 1570, `in Franoe,_ Samuel de Champlain was born, and whenhe reached the `age of early manhood he, too, joined in the new world exploration in the region above the great lakes. The kings of France were much interested in the new land and "did all in their power not only to explore the region,.but to colo- nize and develop it. Champlain, in "1615, made an expedition up the Ottawa ` river and penetrated as far as intol Georgian bay, thus touching on the wa- } ters of Lake Huron.

A pleasant picture occurs toms of I summer progress of the` family of Governor Stuyvesant to and from` the meeting house, for divine worship` in the fort near the Battery, New York, writes Mrs. Burton Harrison in The Ladies Home Journal, describing When Fashion Graced the Bowery. In a brave coach, drawn by shining horses. is ensconced the governor him- self, whose long, laced coat half hides his wooden leg banded with silver. He wears a carefully curled peruke and holds. his hat upon his knee, in order to court the cool sea breeze that fans his rugged visage. His lady. sitting in state beside him. is, in their staid and phleg- matic community, accounted a brilliant personage; her gowns came out from her native Paris. and her silken hood is worn over frizzled and powdered hair; her embroidered hose and high heeled . shoes, her rings, bracelets and lockets, with the gorgeously bound book of de- votions supended ' by a golden chain to her waistband, may be depended upon as models of the very latest modes. Mrs. Bayard, the widowed sister of the governor, occupies a seat in the coach facing them. ' anon-.. ........:.... in Ha. has-n nnlnninl HIE PURSEIVS .NERVE IN NEW YORK S`EARLY DAYS. muiug mum.

That England has an eye to a future full of unpleasant pcssibilities is made patent by information received concern- ing the modernizing of the fortica- tions at Gibraltar. Five thousand men are at work night and day in Gibral- tur s great rock galleries. Dozens of the heaviest cannon known and of the most modern type are replacing the obsolete muzzle-loaders. Electric search- lights and are lights are scattered about the rock in profusion. A power- ful plant has been erected to supply them with electricity. Gibraltar has had the reputation in the past for being the strongest fortication in the world. When the changes that are now being made are completed it will be the strongest ever dreamed of. A great dock is to be constructed, so that a British eet may lie safely at anchor under the guns of the great fortress: The Cubans. The Cubans are a mixed race, Span- ish halfbreeds, and are not likely to make a very amiable nation. They have, as is so often the case in mixed races, the undesirable qualities of both_ without any of the virtues of either. They would be a,` poor addition to the U. S., which now has too many of a similar population. An independent Cuba seems an improbable dream. As a state of the Union it would have an autonomous local government, and the central executive, now too weak to sup- press deeds of violence and ' crime in many of the Southern` States, would have in Cuba an open, festering sure which it could n_ot heal.- Chatham Ban- nor.
