ARY. The mere recitation of cold histori «al statistics can, at beet, give but a j meatsre outHne of the development of the past sixty years. As Canadiane, and more particularly, residents of On terio and Quebec, we must be interest- ed in the picture that can be painted ' ot actual home and bueinese conditions ' In tbe year our Dominion was bom. I The- Population. , Ontarlos share of the thfiee million | 'that comprised Canada's popvlation la \ '67 were mostly impecunjoue Immi- gramte (or tiieir children) who had left , narrow, unp^;ofitabIe sorroundinga in the home land for the greater pomiae ot the new. Having been a Crown Colony until Confederation there was, of course, a small number of- the ' wealthy Brlti^ aristocracy who had [ come to Canada in govemmeot posi- tions or with tbe military. A few more, friends and oonnecti<ni3 of these, came to i»ro<H by swch preferment as of- fered, and to this claas we can stUI trace the foundations of many of the! present day fortunes. Valuable land i locations were either granted by the ; Crown or purchased' at low figures ' which through the natural increase in value accounts for many of our first wealthy Cana,dian6. But, by and large, ' the people of '67 were of hardy pioneer j stock and' it has been through the â-  adapting of themselves to changing conditions and the gras-piag of oppor tunJties as they arose that the bulk of our present-day milllonairee acquired their wealth. The possessors of great wealth, however, have been the excep- tion â€" the rule has been the acquisition by cur pe<H>le of comfortable compe- tences. General Conditions In '67. At the time of Confetleration Can- ada's interests were predominatingly agricultural. Trans-portatton was taken care ot in the ma'n by cur great water- ways. Rail construction had reached som-3 2.500 milee, seventy-five per cent, of which was east of Montreal, which city was approximately the centre of east and wc-st ropulation. In Ontario the Grand Trunk had been completed to Sarnia, but few other lines had been constructed. The Rideau. St. Lawrence Welland and Sault canals had long been in operation but these were pig- niys compared to present day ideas of canal ccns-truction. Street, railways were confined to Montreal and Toron- to, where horse cars operated. An "expedited freight service on poseen- gtr traine" was the forerunneT ot our great express companies. The Do- m'inion Postal Department started at Ccnfederatiou. Currency "was limited i in circulation and included the coins of England. Spain and the U. S. The dol- lar or decimal system, while intro- duced in '53. did not become general until '71. Our great banks of to-day were heralded by some eighteen insti- tutions (many of which have passed long since) with a total of 123 branch- es in al'I parts ot the country. Manu- facturing was in its infancy, while co- operative dairying was first making its appearance in Quebec. Western Canada. Beyond a very small settlement in Maniloha, some 17,000, with Wiauipeg a frontier fort, we have no authentic record of population in what uow com- prises our great western provinces. We know adventuring miuers were lo- cated in British Columbia, which had reached the total of some 30,000 by Confederation, but the active Canada of that time wes east of Luke I-Iuron to the .^tianiic shores. Ontario at Confederation. Many hale and hearty Canadians can reca-H their early childhood and while tbe district lying along the newly coa- atructed Grand Trunk was assuming the same general as-pect of to day from a rural viewpoint, conditions were still primitive in the sections away from ! water and rail transportation. The i farm steads of the fast arriving immi- grants were being hewed from the ! â-¼trgln forests. Day laborers were not [ easily procuraWe, so the settlers had to depend on their own effort-s to clear their land, build their houses, schools, churches', and make their roads, and at the same time raise their familiee, clothe and feed them. The ring of th« axe and the tinkle of the cow-bell were ' beard throughout the length and breadth of the land. Early Co-operation. To day cooperative growers, co- operative eeilers. wlieat pools and or- ganized humanity generally appears the order of the times. In Confedera- ^ tion days real neighborly coopera::on resulted from conditions and dire ! : necessity. We hear ot the "logging ' bee," the "threshing bee," the "quilt- ' i ing bee,' and the bam raising without i perhaps conaidering these old time get- 1 ; to-gether "bees" as the forerunners of j present day cooperative movements. : I but they were. The same necessity, ; "one for all, all for one," actuated the j'bees" of old. Rural Conditions In '67. The farmers felled their trees, trim- med and chopped tliem into lengths suitable for handling, and then "bees" were arranged where, with captains awjointed and sides chosen, friendly rivalry logged the land. Countrysides j f^ranged for and built tbelr roads by j statute labor except the main coach- ing roads, which were built and main- ] tained by private enterprise paid for i by toll-gate levies. The grist mills and i blaclismith shops were the centres of I local business activities and "trade and I bartsr" was general The travelling j cobbler who made his visits anntially i and made the shoes and harness of I his farm customers, who boarded him j while he wcwked; home spinning and ' weaving of "homespun" and "ful- I cloth' was common. The oxen, "Bright j and Buck," supplied the farm power. [ Sugar was made from the maple and : butter in the dash churn. Tallow dips , and coal oil lamps supplied illumina- I tion, while doctors and ministers visit- ed the sick, of body and soul, astride saddle horses.

Men and women who do not sleep well and are not refreshed and strengthened by a nights rest, are generally suffering froui thiu, watery blood. The nerves fail to get the nourishment they demand and head- aches and a worn-out feeling is the result. Building up the blood is the one sure step ' ^ renewed health and strength, and for tiiis purpose nothing else can equal Dr. Williams' Pin'ii Pills. From the first dose to last they enrich and purify the blood, and in this way promote better appetite, better rest at night, and renewed strength. Mrs. Mary E.

A doctor was called in and he told me I had no organic trouble, but was sdmply run down from overwork. I had been left with a family to support, which I did by dressmaking. The doctor said my blood had almost turned to water, and advised a rest cure. I did not see how it was possible for me to take a verj* long rest, so I decided to try Dr. "ft''il liams' Pink Pills.

In clearing the land the finest of oak, butternut, basswood and pine were burned as a hindrance to agricultural progi-ess. Cedar, to-day almost impos- sible to get, was used to butld fences, construct roads of "cordiwoy" (logs laid side by side and lightly covered with earthi, while the great white pine and white oak was exported in quan- Uty to the sihipbuildlng cetures of the old W'Orld.
