Hewitt Bostock, whose death was recorded yesterday, was an unusual political figure. He was one of the few members of the second chamber who was not "dead" prior to his decease. In fact he was a very live member. It is said that Premier Mackenzie King took his advice a good deal in connection with British Columbia matters. There are some men whom even the associations of the Senate could not down, and Bostock was one of them. He will be missed. MEANING OF BRITISH Canada is a British country and so is Australia and so is Scotland and so is England but Canada is not Britain, whereas Scotland is.iFor years Scottish people have objected to the word English, used to represent Great Britain but still the word is used, especially by foreign nations who almost always use the word England when mentioning the British nation. A newspaper writer has this to say against the use of the word Britain: "Judged by it8 sound, its power,Nits behavior in a sentence, it is a poor word. We always ujse it with a sensation of reluctance; there is no imagination in it; no fire ; no tumult or exaltation; no living throb of the heart; no storm or tempest; no triumphs throucrh the centuries.

The Brazilian morning glory gives clusters of big rose-colored flowers and the Heavenly Blue hat immense saucers of the blue of the sky. These last two are a different species from the true morning glories as is the moonflower. They are well worth planting where vines are desirable. For quick growth and a great show of bloom the old-fashioned morning glories are hard to beat in their dark and light blue, pink, rose and white colorings.
