under the impres-.sipn that Lord Carrington has appointed Lord Midleton\u2014better known, in his ministerial days, as Mr.W.St.John Broderick\u2014as chairman of the Council to advise the Board of Agriculture on all matters appertaining to the encouragement and improvement of the horse-breeding industry.But, as a matter of fact, Lord Carrington has appointed Lord Middleton, a Yorkshire peer and another person altogether.Lord Middleton is a great landowner and a great sportsman, being master of the well-known hunt which bears his name.The peerage contains many pitfalls of this kind.For instance, there is a Lord Camden and a Lord Campden; a Lord Desart and a Lord Dysart; a Lord Langford and a Lord Longford; a Lord Lindsay and a Lord Lindsey; a Lord Sudley and a Lord Sudeley.Lord Carrington himsel! has brothers who spell their name with one \u2018r\u2019 and are authorized to do so by Royal licanse.\u2014 Westminster Gazette.\u2019 vedette MONTREAL WEST W.C.T.U.The ineugural

FEBRUARY Bis s M|T WIT]F| eel ee] 4 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1911.jou ve u tr One of the most captivating arguments against the reciprocity agreement cuts two ways.There was no need, we are told, of being in such a hurry to make concessions, as the United States would have made these reductions any way; she has not made them for our sake, but for her own; why, then, did we need to go begging?Such is the argument.The first answer to it is that we did not go begging.If there was any begging, it was.Brother Jonathan who did it.If the United States would have had to concede these reductions to her own péople, without any dealings with us, it only shows that her boasted protection system hss broken down, and that, far from being the source of that country\u2019s unparalleled prosperity, it is regarded by its people as an intolerable burden.As conditions in this country largely reflect, though in fainter degree, those of our neighbors, we are hot surprised to find here a similar demand leading to similar results.The fact ia that the United States has come to where she has to make some reductions, and s0 have we.That we should agree to make them is a way of letting the protectionists down easy.\u2014fprgerpe \"Whatever the money that protection has taken from the people can do to prevent reciprocity will be done.The purchase of newspapers and the inspiration of news agencies in the interests of protection has \u2018become familiar.The latest thing is to purchase pages in government papers to set forth in quasi editorial forms ts desponding recourse to the well known patriotism of the people.We actually find a sHly appeal to Laurier, to save the country from absorption by wrecking, this trade agreement, in a full page of the Toronto \u2018Globe\u2019 This recalls an attempt that was made some years ago to reach the people by printing a newspaper here called the \u2018Globe\u2019 in.close imitation circulated, gratis, far and wide.erent: = Sir Lomer Gouin's bill to regulate ithe sale of cocaine, which has passed the second reading, is an honest attempt to stamp out the cocaine evil.It tncludes the wholesale dealer in its scope, and that is very necessary, as in the past, not only the.wholesale druggists but the wholesale drysaiters as well have heen able to purdhass more, and to retail dt Sut urhampered retail druggists were \u2018supposed to conform to.When Sir Lomer Gouit\u2019s bill comes ito force the way of the illicit cocaine seller should be very hand indeed.The buying and selling of cocaine from the time it is leaving the manufacturers\u2019 hands, passing through the wholesalers\u2019 and retailers\u2019 hands, to the time M comes into possesion of.£he user, aYe ciretrmseribed by forums which «re devised for that

supremacy of the Imperial Parliament, should make the path of the Asquith Government\u2019 in the \u2018passing of a Home | Rule Bill \u2018even easier \u2018than/ the most sanguine of such legislation had anticipated.Mr.Redmond's declaration of Irish desire to see King George open an Irish\u2018 Parliament in Dublin in person, Ireland thereafter to be one of the loyal component parts: of the empire, is-welceme news in Canada, where the majoritÿ of us have long deplored the unpleasant relations between Ireland and \u2018England, and have wished to see them put upon as pleasant a plane as our own.With Ireland satis- fled the imperial cup of joy should indeed run over, as she is now the only disaffected daughter of an otherwise very happy family.And that that fs not a possibility.or a probability, no one will say who contemplates what: Justice mixed with liberality and kindness and the fulfilment of her aspirations have done for South Africa.ete esr HOW TO ANSWER THEM.Let Canadians keep their eves steadily fixed on this that all this annexation talk is due to protectionism.The whole fever is being worked up by the enemies of reciprocity, first in England, then in Canada, and now in the United States.There was not a vestige of anything but reciprocity in the tariff agreement.The hatred of it in Britain was duc entirely to the fact that it was the deathblow to protectionism there.From the moment it was first spokén of the whole band of tariff-reform newspapers commenced shouting that it meant the end of the British Empire\u2014that it meant that the government at present in power was traitorous to the imperial interests.\u2018The only imperial interest that it imperilled was the interest the tariff reformers.had In being able to tax their fellow-ccuntrymen to their own rrodi and to the imperilling of British trade in foreign markets.This sho'it wus naturally heard across the sed with the greatest glee, and .it would have heen a miracle if it nad not evoked .echo there: for, whatever Mr.secretary Knox may say.no one doubts that the United States people wourl itke to annex Canada The vision they have always cherished since they én- titled their first deliberative baidy the Continenta] Congress has proved, like that of Ariel, a dissolving view, and would soon have left not a rack be- tind, had not this dishonest outburst in England turned the.limelight anon it and caused it to Bicker up again into brilliance : :.before (he dazzled sv0:3 of the American\u2019 people and of their demagogues.> The same shout was taken up with increased disingenuousness by our own protectionists, who were trembling for the result of any scaling of the tariff.They had a great deal to say about the thin end of the wedge.The wedge they were afraid of was the They accounted\u2019 this reciprocity treaty as imperilling their whole system of taxing the consumer; and, knowing that Canada would not have annexation on any terms, joined frantically in the annexation cry.This also was telegraphed to the United States and helped well to recall the old dream of con- tinentalism from its troubled sleep of a hundred and forty years.The \u2018Gazette,\u201d which was born of the continental] movement a-hundred and forty years ago, boasts now of having succeeded in adding fuel to the flame.It has a correspondent at Washington for the special purpose of working it up.He telegraphs that his despatches were telegraphed back to Washifgton, and gave additional impetus to the so-called movement.This is the way in which for the past decade the wires under the sea, and the regular channels of news, have been plied steadily backwards and forwards in the work of traduclng the Liberal Government of Great Britain, and telling how under free trade the Empire Is going to | pleces, while all the time it was becoming more firmly knit, and its trade had been inareasing by léaps and bounds.Their time of unholy, viatory or of defeat has come.Of course no wave of folly can thwart the deeper will of a people, and If reciprocity does not come now, the people on both sides of the line will get \u2018their way in.a\u2019 more unadulterated form.case this annexation fuss is nothing but stage play, with abundant tin-pan thunder\u2014\u2018alarums within\u2019 marching and counter-marching, and .all the.by-play.with which

anti-imperial tariff.A quarter knocked off the present duties towards Britain would be -a pleasantry to the Champ Clark joker, and a good snub to the officious Mr.Bennet, whose one object in his

also read the Bill brought in last session by Mr.MeGregor, and cited the opinion of an eminent lawyer, that the defeat of the Bill leaves the position absolutely unchanged.It is quite possible, legally, for the Governor-in-Council to appoint women on school boards, and the report suggested several lines along which the uncil might work \u2018for this desired : .Interested discussions followed.Nine years ago the Council had gone thoroughly into the same question, and had got favorable opinions on the subject from many of the leading men of Halifax.Ona member suggested that two petitions should be framed, cnrs to be signed by voters, the other \u201cby noz-roters, including unimportant | rest to Women.The \u2018Witness\u2019 \u201cDaily Fashion.int.persons such as mothers.\u2018Finally, a committee was appointed to frame petitions and plan a campaign.A Local Council of Women has been organized lately at Strathcona, Alta., by Mrs.O.C.Edwards.To Mrs.FEd- wards women wv orkers are indebted for the little book she compiled on \u2018The Legal Status of Canadian Women.\u2019 This informing reference book may be had from Miss Riddell, National Council Secretary, 86 Spadina road, Toronto, for the small sum of 25 cents.That a district missionary nurse, Miss Mary Shore, hag been appointed for the Indian Reserve, and has taken up her duties at Ohsweken (on the | \u2018Brant reserve, Ontario), is an interesting item reported by the Victorian Or- } der of Nurses.: SOME DESSERTS FROM ORANGES At this season of the year when fruit is scarce, oranges can be used in a variety of ways for desserts.An orange custard pudding can be made and cooked in about half an hour.Put into e stew pan a piece of butter about the size of a walnut: break into it the yolks of five eggs, beat slightly, then add the strained Juice of two oranges and the grated rind of one.Sweeten with sugar to taste, and stir over the fire till the mixture becomes as thick as custard.Line a pudding dish with a good paste, put in the orange custard, and bake for twenty minutes.A compote of oranges 18 prepared in the proportion of a pound of sugir to eight oranges.Select thin-skinned oranges, remove the peel, put it in a Baucepan with a pound of sugar and a pint and a half of water, and boil for fifteen to twenty minutes, removing the scum as it rises.Separate the peeled oranges into sections or quarters, removing any white pith adhering.Put them into the syrup, and let them simmer for six minutes, then take them out carefully and arrange them in a glass dish.Boil the syrup thick, let it cool, then pour over the oranges.Servé cold.When serving oranges whole, try icing them.Select medium-sized fine oranges, and take off the skin and white pith.Through the centre of each pass a double- thread to hold it by when icing it.Roll some loaf sugar fine and sift it; to a pound of the sugar allow the whites of two eggs, and beat together for at least fifteen minutes.Dip the oranges into the icing till they are completely covered, then pass a piece of a thin stick through the threads and suspend the oranges in a very slow oven to dry.They must not get browned in the least.Use Seville oranges for tartlets and allow twice the weight.of the oranges in sugar.Take out the pulp, then boil the peels until quite tender, and mash them to a paste, together with the sugar.Add the pulp and juice of the oranges, also a piece of butter the size of a walnut, and beat all together well.Line some patty pans with rich paste, put in the orange mixture, and bake from fifteen to twenty minutes.Filling oranges with jelly is some trouble, but it makes a more attractive dish than the fruit served plain.Select fine large oranges, and with the point of a sharp knife cut out from the top of each a piece about the size of a silver quarter.Scoop.out the pulp with an orange spoon or a small teaspoon, taking care not to break the rinds.Put the shells into cold water.Squeeze and strain the juice out from the pulp, and make a jelly in the usual way with gelatine.While it is cooling a little, drain the orange shells and wipe them, then fill each with the jelly and set it in a cold place to get firm.Before serving cut the oranges into halves, using a very sharp knife, and arrange on a dish with sprigs of greenery.Another orange custard is made as follows: Peel two nice oranges, scrape the thick white part from the skins, and boil the rinds for fifteen minutes in a pint of milk.Beat together four eggs and quarter of a pound of now- dered sugar, and stir into the boiling milk.Pour the mixture into a custard mould, set it in a pan of hot water, and bake in a slow oven.When the custard is set, put it in a cool place.Make a syrup of sugar and water boiled a few minutes, let it cool, and add the strained juice of the oranges.To serve turn the custard out on a dish, and pour the orange-flavor- ed syrup over it.CARMEN SYLVA AND THE BLIND The Queen of Roumanja, \u2018Carmen Sylva\u2019 as she is called, from her literary pen-name, is one of the most conscientious and hard-working of royal personages, which is saying a good deal, for there are many in the most exalted positions who in the performance of the duties which they feel devolve upon them really work very hard, Carmen Sylva, in a paper on \u2018The way of my life,\u2019 in the \u2018New Idea Woman's Mavazine,\u201d gives a glimpse of a very busy and useful life.Her Majesty begins the day the reading of her with business papers \u2018CARMEN SYLVA\u2019 and letters, many of them petitions, and attending to them by replies and directions.Then she recelves committees representing societies for relieving the poor.There are a great many of these societies in Bucharest, the capital of Roumania.Later the Queen holds an audience, drives, and sees her people.Some nights there are musicales, when aspiring musicians are given a chance to prove their genius, as a way to the Queens patronage.Only in the evening, it appears, is there relaxation, and a little time for family life.For the last ten years the Queen of Roumania has given particular attention to the blind.There are many blind people in the kingdom.A school has been started, on the profits of a new machine for \u2018the blind, invented by the Queen's secretary and a typesetter who hud lost his eyesight.In her paper alluded to, Carmen Syl- va says: \u2018We have already begun the school without a penny of income.Fathers -of families, who have gone \"You get all three in eal Brand Coffee \u2014the favorite in a million homes RINCESS DRESSES Ish design.Black, regular value $18.50, on AT MARCHAND, made In the most styl- Navy, Sky, Pink and White ;

Prof.8& 8S.Klinck, and John Fixter, Macdonald College, Quebec; Mr.G.A.Gigault,, deputy minister of agriculture, Quebec; W.Taylor, St.Giles, Quebec: DD.Innes, New Brunswick; W.Moore, Nova Scotia.being held pet WANT CHANGE IN STATUTES.Ottawa, Feb.17.\u2014The Rev.Dr.T.Albert Moore, Toruntu, and Archdeacon C.L.Ingles, Parkda'e, waited on the Minister of Justice yesterday as a deputation from the Moral and Social Reform Council of Canada asking that certain amendments be made in the Criminal Code.The most important one was the matter of sccuring bail for women convicted of immorality, and whose cases ure appealed, the delegation suggesting that in the case of an appeal bail be not allowed, as in most cases the wonen deinped and aveidel parishment À further change the Gelegation intimated they would like to sec ade was regura'ng tae appeals froir convictions of à pc'ice miar,etrate in lurge cities.These they held should be taken lefere a higher cuiirt than the Divisional Court.The matters were left with Mr.Aylesworth for cun- sideration.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 rt HAYTIEN REFUGEES.Cape Haitien, Haiti, Feb.17.\u2014Gen.T.Laroche, Gen.Samuel Gauthier and a party of citizens who sought the protection of the German and Austro- Hungarian consulates when the re- bLellion was begun, embarked on the steam.:r \u2018Quebec yesterday for St.Thomas, D.W.I.Cincinnatus Leconte, who was propused for the presidency by the rebels and subsequently was admitted to the German consulate, was not allowed to depart with the others, the Government objecting.Vergniaud Leconte, a lawyer, and also a refugee, will be permitted to go to France.\u2018 \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 POISONOUS WALLPAPER.Niagara Falls, Ont, Feb.17\u2014The three-year-old daughter of George Holding was yesterday given up by physicians.The child was taken violently ill yesterday after her mother discovered her chewing a scrap of green wall paper dropped by paper hangers working in the house.The paper was strongly impregnated with arsenic, used tu color it.eet FLIGHT ENDS IN RIVER.New York, Feb, 17.-Chas.F.Morok, an aviator operating a Curtiss biplane, dropped into the Hudson River yesterday while attempting to fly from the Guttenburg race track to Central Park.When over the Palisades his machine settled rapidly and in a few minutes dropped on the surface of the water.A launch went to his assiste ance.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 HORSE FELL ON DRIVER.Kingston.Feb, 17.\u2014Robert J.Reid, undertaker, had a narrow escape Ves- terday while going to conduct a funeral at Elginburg.The snow was deep, and while he was trying to break a passage the hearse horses fell over upon him.Fortunately the depth of the snow enabled Mr.Reid to craw! from heneath the horses with but slight injuries.x eu 50 TA RE a ce or er Ras a pein 2016 DN a 8 te mr Bene LEE pa Sa al QE Fo TR IC PRE 4 M Pt PAS eu 4 g.ÿ i | + J \u201c cedgrae tree va FA v, 4 pies ERA a 842 + > ary ¥ Ti ee i ATP rh Show Eee i, = Sal EP TET REIT mY ~~ fama = aa HMM YE TE YT a z se mm en a dès m\u2014 em t\u2014 = \u2014 BIRTHS, MARRIAGER AND DEATHS Notices of births, a dese , marriages &n must invariably be endorsed with Yor Dame and address of the sender.0 otherwise no notice can be taken © them.Birth notices are inserted Lor 5c;

decided to drain Lake Texcoco, just east of the city.in order to lessen the danger of floods during the rainv season, and also to get at the rich soda deposits in the bed of the lake, it sounded the doom of one of the queerest and most ancient industries in the New world, that of catching flies for mar- Ket.Since the days of the Aztec lords of Mexico a small band of natives has made a comfortable living out of the business of supplying the canaries and other pet birds and fine poultry of the United States and Mexico with the delicacy of dry,salted flies.Now the lake is drying up.the flies have disappeared, the birds are to go hungry, and the fly catchers have abandoned their pleasant vocation for the drudgery of digging soda from the bottom of a smelly lake.Catching flies for market on the shores of Lake Texcoco has been a profitable industry since the days of the Aztecs.Until recent years the annual production of dried insects was measured in tons, and until this year was sufficient to afford a means of livelihood to z small colony of native fly -catchers.These market-flies are a little smaller than the ordinary house-fly.Preserved in the natural sälts, they were founë to be an excellent -feod for caged birds and chickens, and hundreds of sacks were shipped annually to bird- dealers in the United States and Germany.The insects are caught In nets as they swarm near the lake's surface, killed by drowning in the water, and immediately spread on sheets to dry.After this simple curing process they are sacked up, and are then ready for market.Some are used in this city and the Republic, but the excellent demand which has grown up for them in other countries within the last few years ras greatly increased the price and lessened the local demand.During the year 1909 more than £2,000 worth were shipped to Europe alone.The profession of fly catching and fly preserving has been handed down from father to son in a few families who have held a monopoly of the industry since the days of Netzahualcoyotl, when that monarch signed a treaty with the Casique Chimalpopoca of Tenochtitlan whereby a number of Tencans received a concession to gather flies in the former's realm to feed the sacred quetzals in the great tea- calli.\u2014 Letter from Mexico Cit in the London \u2018Examiner.\u2019 THE CZAR AT THE THEATRE.A French Actor Discovers That He Has the Eyes of a Hypnotizer.(New

had Quebec, Feb, 17.\u2014 After occupying the attention of the Private Bllls Committee of the Legislative Assembly for four distinct sittings, the Bill to amend the Charter of the City of Montreal was finally passed by that body last night.It will come up in the Assembly for the third reading mext week, after which it will be sent tu the Legislative Council to pass through the same procedure as in the Assembly.When the committee met last night there only remained the expropriation clauses to be passed, and these went through rather quietly, with the exception of a few objections which were settled after some discussion.The clause relative to the widening of Mountain street as embodied in the Bill was struck and replaced by another, which declares that Mountain street shall be widened from Notre Dame street to Dorchester street, the whole cost to be paid by the city.Another amendment was inserted in the Bill on the motion of Mr.Honore preprietion shall bn on \u2018Sherbrooke street.from Papineau avenue to Parthenais street.the cost to be paid by the city at commercial value.This system was not followed as regards practically all the other expropriations, as the city was authorized to assume half the cost, the proprietors paying the other half.The other additions were the expropriation of lands on Drolet street, from Palais street to Laurier avenue; on Everatta street, off Dumont street, and on Peaublen street, from Dufferin street to Papineau avenue.There was a lively passage at arms between Ald.Lussier and Mr.Me- nard.advocate, who represented certain proprietors in Bordeaux ward, relative to the expropriation of St.Ann street.The price asked was $13.000, and it was maintained hy Ald.Lus- sier that the rcal value was only $1,- 700.Mr.Menard was particularly forceful in his objections, and found occasion to get in a few personalities.in\u2019 the course of which he was interrupted with remarks hy Ald.Lussier.It was discovered after the discussion had gone on for nearly half an hour that the proposition was not in order.not been given, and it was in consequence ruled out.The expropriation on Roy street, he- tween Cadieux and

Immigration Regulations\u2014 Cholera Suspect on Grosse Isle Still.Ottawa, Feb.17.\u2014In the Senate yesterday, on moving second reading of the Bill respecting grain, Sir Richard Cartwright said the measure was one of great importance and contained provisions of unusual character.The subject dealt with had been long and hotly discussed, especially in the West, where the farmers believed they had been unfairly dealt with by persons acting as middlemen between them and the ultimate consumers.The question had been investigated by a commission, and had been dealt with by legislation in the form of the Manitoba Grain Act, which is being reenacted with some new provisions.After giving the complaints of delegations and others full consideration, the Government had arrived at decisions which are embodied in this Bill, and which it is hoped will meet this case, and will result in Canadian grain retaining the high standard which it has obtained in the markets of the world.Without committing himself as to the amount, Sir Richard said he had no doubt that the farmers have suffered considerable loss through the manipulation of grain at terminal elevators and perhaps elsewhere, and that these manipulations had more or less reduced the price the farmers would otherwise have obtained for their grain.No one could dispute the desirability of maintaining grain standards at a proper point and of assuring to farmers the highest prices for their product.During the past few years the Canadian Northwest had developed great prosperity, and the rest of Canada had benefited from it.Nothing could more conduce to the prosperity of the Northwest, and indeed of the whole of Canada, than that the farmers should be prosperous and content.The bill proposed the establishment of à grain commission of three, largely on the -lines of the Railway Commission and to a considerable extent independent of the Government.This commission will have full control! of the grain trade, and will have large discriminatory powers to determine what places shall be public elevators and to take all possible precautions of insuring the purity of Canadian grain during its transmission to Europe.The commissioners would be appointed for terms of ten years and would have to vacate office on reaching the age of seventy years.They would reside at Fort William and Port Arthur.They would have special powers of investigations, and in extraordinary cases to shut up for a timc elevators where they have Treason to believe there had been improper practices.In certain cases they will have power to acquire, lease or construct elevators which may he operated by the Government in case of need.The penalty clauses provide for the imposition of fines of from five to twenty thousand dollars, and of imprisonment up to two years.The Commission will report to Parliament annually, and may recommend any changes which they deem desirable.It might be asked if there had been found sufficient justification for the appointment of a commission with such large powers and for the enactment of such Chika pos 2 DC.ia sent direct to the diseased parts the Improved \u201d Gervair, M.P.to the

Extend Mount Royal Park.prietors on the street, was carried, as well as that for the opening of Palais street.from Drolet street to Papineau avenue, and the land required for the widening of Bt.Denis street, from Car- riere street to Laurier avenue.The clause on the expropriation of Dumont street was struck out.and also that on the widening of Notre Dame, between Fulford and Atwater avenue.The clause stating that in no case shall more than twenty percent be allowed over and above the municipal valuation was dropped at the request of the Montreal delegation.Practically no objection was raised to the expropriation of Cote des Neiges road.from Cote St.Luc to St.Catherine road; also Sherbrooke street, from Delorimier to the limits of Mai- sonneuve.The citv pays half of the cost and the proprietors on Sherbrooke street the other half.Included in these sections is a clause giving the city the power to acquire by, mutual agreement or by expropriation the land required: to give an entrance to Mount Royal Park, near Mountain street.MOUNT ROYAL EXTENSION.Authority.was giv the city-\u2018to-ae- aire Meson Sorts : Royal Victoria Hospital, as an extension of Mount Royal Park.As regards the widening of.Mountain street.from Notre Dame to Dor- chester.-authority was given to do the work, the city paying the whole cost.With these amendments the bill was finally declared carried shortly before 10 p.m.On the question of paving streets, in addition to the conditions already mentioned, it is further provided that in case any street paved has a width greater than 50 feet, the total cost of the extra width shall be borne by Montreal city.Nothing was said about amending the Bill regarding the placing of firemen in moving picture shows.It is understood.however.that the matter will be looked after when the bill reaches the Upper House.According to the way the bill now reads, firemen may be placed in theatres which use scenery.but as picture shows do not use scenerv as a rule with their pictures.they would be exempt.Ald.Lapointe expressed his satisfaction on the whole as tn the way the bill was passed.He felt particularly well satisfied ar to the clause giving the city the right to order streets paved, the cost to he assessed on the owners of property.Ald.l.a- pointe added he did not anticipate opposition to that clause in the Legislative Council, severe penalty provisions.The best evidence that there was such justification was shown by the results of several years\u2019 investigation, during which time the department had taken the precaution tu weigh grain in transmission.The result of these investigations showed that several companies had practised the mixing of grain, and in some cases false returns had been made for the purpose of deceiving the grain owners and the Government.1n one case it had been found that 437,684 more bushels of wheat of the grade of No.one Northern had been sent out from_an elevator than had been received\u201dby' tHat elevator.There were several *¢ases of similar bushels.It was clear that the practice vf mixing inferiér with superior grain must tend ultimately to the -deteriora- tion of the general quality, and when it comes ty the amount just stated there could be little doubt that the general results in the markets -of the world was to degrade the apparent quality of Wester Canadian grain several degrees beléw the peimt which it ought properly to reach.The allegation was that this inferior grain was sold in Liverpoel at a price which affected the price paid to the farmer who produced the grain.It was clear a case had been made out for Government interference in the interest not oniy of the Northwest, but of the whole of Canada.While some of the terminal elevator companies may have been honest in their operations, stil} there was evidenee to show that some of the companies had resorted to practices - which needed regulating by a general act.When Inspector Horne died communications had been received from English grain buyers, stating that while they had the fullest confidence in Mr.Horne's inspection, in some cases the standards he \u2018had set had been departed from.Senator Campbell asked what the jurisdiction of the Commission would be.NATIONAL JURISDICTION.Sir Richard Cartwright replied that it would extend from \u2018the Atlantic to the Pacific.Senator Lougheed said \u2018that one of the results of ithe reciprocity agreement was likely to be the diversion of a considerable quantity of Western Canadian grain from.present channels to Minmeapoks.He asked if the government had considered how it would mainitain the standard of Canadian grain being exported \u2018through Ameni- can chamnels.Sir Richard replied that as \u2018the reciprocity arrangement had not Deen finally concluded, he would nat care to express an opinion.He did not wish to press this bill until interested parties fvad full oppontunity of expressing their views with regard to it.\u2018Senator Lougheed adjourned the debate until mext Wednesday.In moving second reading of a bill to amend the Chinese Immigration Act, Sir Richard Cartwright said #t was chiefly designed to more closely define tre term \u2018Chinese merchants\u2019 who were entitled to free admission to Canada, amd the \u2018term \u2018Chinese students\u2019 who were entitled to a refund of entrance tax after a certain period of residence in the country.There was a provigion allowing the free aximis- sion of wives of Chinese born in Canada, and though the bill did not oc so far, St Richard was of opinion that it mighit be in the interest of morality to allow any Chinese resident of Canada to bring in a wife without the payment of a itax.Sr Mackenzie Bowell said there would be more protection than former- iy in requiring Ohinese centificaites \u2018to be signed by a British consul as this bill now proposed.There had always been and would always be difficulty in defining what was a Chinese merchant, as some of them who had very little capital in their business sought free admission as merchants.Thre government should make rigid regulations respeoting identification centi- ficates which had been fraudulently used to @ large extent to enable newly artived Chinese to enter Canada on the centificaites of -£hose who had left the country.In fais Opinion the only way to get over the difficulty would be to compel every Chinese whether arriving for the first time or returning to ithe country to pay the capita- | ton tax.Chinese 80 Tesembled one andther that there was great difficulty In tdentifying them.Sir Richard

one of the reasons for this seems to be that the woman does most of the work, while the man\u2014being the superior animal\u2014 can see nu necessity for further exertion.\u201d says the Hon.J.G.Jenkins, speaking of Papua and the Papuans.He plays the part of her protector to perfection; while she digs in the garden he leans against a tree with his spear in \u2018his hand, apparently pre- paredto-lkeop off intruders, but really because it is easiér than doing the digging.: \u2018Their wants ar small, and they generally take-negthougpt for.the mor- row\u2014sufficient for the day is the food thereof so long as the woman provides it.Women are frequently seen carrying a miscellaneous collection of foodstuffs such as yams, bananas and sugar cane in a net bag swung over their back and in many instances a podgy infant in nature's garb is perched on top of the provisions.\u2018If the women are accompanied by their husbands you will find these gallant braves dressed in masculine authority and a native spear slowly leading the way or leisurely following.There is no necessity for expensive divorce courts to settle family disagreements among the natives.If a married man finds that his wife displeases him, or if she is too frivolous or lazy, or does not cook well, or do her garden work properly, he simply turns her out.\u2018Neither is a woman very permanently tied to her husbana, for she can leave him on her own accord: but if she marries again her second husband has to pay something to her first husband and his friends.A pig, a wallaby, some yams or bananas generally settle the claim.\u2018At one time no doubt all the natives practised cannibalism, but now all the central and eastern tribes have given it up.In the western part it is still practised.and it is not safe to visit some of the native villages therc unless properly guarded and well armed.Life is not valued very highly by the natives as a rule; although they possess a certain kind of rough love and affection for each other it is rather of a transient character.\u2018If a man dies they mourn for him a whole night, but if a woman dies an hour or two of wailing seems to meet the case.Parents sell their daughters to other natives for small consideration and a few sticks of tobacco would be sufficient to induce a married man to part-with one or more of his wives.\u2019 ATTEMPT ON JACKSON'S LIFE.Old Letter Tells How the Then President Narrowly Escaped Assassination.(New York \u2018Times.How narrowly Andrew Jackson, while President of the United States, escaped death by assassination, is told in an important letter of John Tyler.which sold for $43 at auetion In Philadelphia Tecently.The letter is dated Washington, Jan.31.1835, and is addressed to Tyler's son, Robert Tvler.John Tyler at this time was United States Senator.In this letter he says: \u2018My object In writing te vou was to give you an account of an occurrence which transpired vesterdayv, and to ask that you will walk down to Judge Semple\u2019s and inform \u2018him of the facts.Warren R.Davis died two nights ago.and yesterday the funeral ceremonies were performed in the House of Representatives.The members of both houses were present and the President of the United States, with the members of his cabinet.The procession moved from the hall, through the rn- tunda to the east porch of the Capitol.The House first, Senate second.followed by the President, ete.1 was unwell.and concluded not to go to the grave, and after getting to the porch 1 stepped out of the line of the procession to the right.\u2018J had been standing there more than a minute when I heard an exp! - gion, similar to that produced by an ordinary cracker.which caused me to turn around.when I perceived a man, standing in front of the Pre: ent, ebout four steps\u2019 off.with a po.- ket pistol pointed at the President.The report immmediately followed of the same character with \u201cthat 1 had o moment before heard.The President immediately raised his came and made at him, but before he could strike the fellow was seized and thrown down, the President still pressing on him, February Number Canadian Pictorial BRIGHTEST AND BEST OF CANADIAN MAGAZINES.A few of the Subjects beautifully .illustrated in this number: \u2014 \u2014 ACA ALA AL The cover is a - picture of a bewitching girl, 'MY VALENTINE.\" \u2018When Time Stands Still,\u201d another St.Valentine's rught \u201c picture.: February is St.Valentine's month.The Astounding Battle in the Streets of London.\u201c Remarkable Pictures showing various incidents of a 5 memorable day.The Hero of Quebec\u2014Monument to Wolfe unveiled in his native village by Lord Roberts.The Duke of Connaught in South Africa\u2014Scenes dur < ing the Royal tour.Lumbering in the Canadian woods.} .Canadian Winter Sports in City and Country.\u2018 Two complete short stories by eminent writers.\u2019 One of the popular songs of the day.Women's department and the usual features;

\u2018The St.Remi crossing is the main thoroughfare between St.Henry, Cote St.Paul, and West- mount, and ttere is consequently a constant stream of traffic using it.And what is the protection?Two gates which are seldom closed, and old, old watchmen to operate them.Tre danger comes from the fact that these are practically the end of the Grand Trunk yards so that there is always shunting going on, even when there are no trains going through.Tke majority of the accidents which occur here are due to the fact that g man waits ten or perhaps fifteen minutes for shunting operations to be completed and then starts across the \u2018tracks.The noise of the shunting and the fact that every line is frequently blocked, except for a narrow space,\u2019 prevents him seeing or hearing a train coming on one of the main lines, with the result that he has walked to his death.- CSN ANDI poy KIDNEY.| MONTREALS TRIBUTE T0 ~ KING EDWARD THE SEVENTH each;
