For tho country owes its name to a curious misconception on tho part of M. .!; .lies Cartler, who Is credited with the discovery of the St. Lawrence,. He unild mako but llttlo out of the convtisHtlon of tho natives, and, hearing th"ni frequently uso tho word "Kanata," their name for a village, he fell into the mistake of supposing that It was tho name of their country. Thus, In more than ono sense, hns Canada grown from a little vlllago'to a great state. |
