of talk about introducing the referendum instead of the prohibition measure, which would be sifi- ply a repetition of the plebiscite, or of introducing a measure with a referendum which would certainly be a step forward.It would, however, be a little curious if the first introduction -of the referendum.into Canada should be with regard to the unly measure on which the will of the people is already precisely known, so far asit-could be known by :a | vote.Thousands of measures have passed through the innumerable \u2018Canadian legislatures without any such reference: to the people even though not one \u2018of them had ever passed through the orden! of a plebiscite which this question has done twice.The Manitoba.Governmeñt \u2018has already practically announced its intention.\u2018There also there have been two \u2018plebiscites and a prohibitory law has.actually been passed, and is inscribed.cn the statute book, but.it remains in the anomalous position of not being put into force as though when the people voted \u2018upon the question and when the legisla- \u2018ture passed the law at the people\u2019s demand.they only meant that their goveïn- ment should

popularity and political prestige in gaining for Ireland the radical legislation which she now enjoys.\u2018The very men whom Mr.Redmond denounces as \u2018rotten members of the Liberal party\u2019 are among those whose -interest in Ireland has been most sympathetic and whose\u201cefforts on behalf of her people have been most sincere and politi cally expensive to themselves.Their sympathies are with her yet, but, startled by the rebellious utterances which have been so common of late, it is little wonder that their zeal is now tempered with discretion.1 Mr.Redmond has not only succeeded in completely alienating the Liberal party\u2014 a result possibly pleasing to:him, as his political affiliations and those of the other anti-Parnellites were not in that direc- tion\u2014but he has also

German menagerie pro } prietor had ordered eight pythons, and one morning I set about transferring them from the large cage or house in which they were kept to a huge box for transportation.They were all large, \u2018ranging, I should think, from 12 feet ts 18 feet in length.With the first six pythons I had no, special ditliculty.My way of handling them was to step quietly \u2018into the large cage, and, watching for my chance, seize them, one at a time, by the neck, just below the head, and, lifting them by main strength, carry them to the box and plump them into it.But the seventh python, when I went to fetch him, proved to be véry wide awake.: As I approached it darted at me with open jaws.I had barely time to snatch \u2018off my felt hat and present it.when the snake struck at and fastened its teeth in the hat.Tais gave me an cp- portunity to collar it, and I did so, securing a good grip on its neck with my right hand.As I attempted to drag it out, however, the big fellow threw his thick, heavy body forward, and, almost before I realized my danger, managed to secure a turn of its coil about my legs and body.I shall not soon.forget my sensations.The coil was tense as an iron cable, and drew iteelf irresistibly round me.There was an awful rigidity about it as I feit it tighten.There was the grip of death in #.I knew that in a moment more my bones would be cracking; but turning both my feet outwards, s0 as not to be thrown, I seized the snake\u2019s neck in both hands, and, exerting all my strength, tried to throw the reptlie\u2019s \u201chead back to my right, so as to cast off its folds.At ithe same time I shouted for help.Three times I surged with my strength do turn that coil off, but I might as\" well have twisted at a cage bar! In a minute I should have been thrown and crushed; but meantime two of my men, who were at work only a few yards distant, rushed into the cage, and, laying hold of the python\u2019s tail, were able to turn the coil.My life was saved.nt Sir John Williams, beginning le in Swansea, where the foundations of his education.were laid, #5 now the physi cian to the Prince and Princess of Wales and attended her when the future King of England and her other children were born.-Sir John has the most delightful manners and a keen sense of humor, two factors which have mo doubt contributed not a little to his great success in the special branch of medicine which he has made his own.He was sixty-one on Nov.8.A good story is told of Sir John Ten- niel, the famous cartoonist.One day they asked him why he had never married.\u2018Well,\u2019 he replied, \u2018if I had married a girl she would always have wanted to be going about all over the place, and that would not have suited me; while, on the other hand, if I had raar- ried an elderly lady she would have worn a shawl, and that I could not have stood!\u2019 ' It will always remaïm to Mr.Cecï Rhodes\u2019s credit that he was one of the few of whom the late General Gordon made an intimate and trusted friend.Chinese Gordon first.met the African millionnaire in Bagutoland, and it is not generally known that he was earnestly asked to become: the General's private secretary and \u2018alter ego,\u2019 a position which Mr.Rhodes, after much hesta- tion, declined.- Co.pa AT WORK MR.HAYS, GENERAL MANAGER OF THE GRAND TRUNK, IN- SPECIS THE NEW \u2018GENERAL OFFICES.\u2014 Mr.Hays, the second vice-president and generdl mmnager of the Grand Trunk Railway, arrived last evening from Toronto, accompanied by the members of the operating sta.Mr.Hays had been gone about a year.He left the Grand Trunk Reilway to assume the control of the Southern Pacific.The prize was a tempting one.The position was one guaranteeing an immense prestige.Mr.Hays found irritating elements;
