The Mail and Empire says that the

abolition of the °entreat"system foe-
tered by the late Liberal adminis-

there was a cordage oontraot entered
into by the late government which had
not been ratified, and therefore might
have been abandoned, Instead of tak-
ing this °purse, it made another con•
tract with oue of its own political

At last reform of the Senate of Canada
seems to be within measurable dietetic*.
Ouse it becomes a gneation of praottoal
polities it is awe to be carried out, for
enoh is the state of public opinion that
neither side will dare block it. It be-
colues merely a question of time and
method. It is whims too muoh to
hope tor the only really good and effeo-
tivo reform --that of abolition; the Iola
titans are notyet ready for that, though
the people are; it is well enough ream -
razed that while the upper ohamber has
not done muoh harm it has never done
any good, never Nerved any useful pur-
pose for legislation er administration.
Ina main etfeot has been to keep in pub -
lin life politiotans who were no longer
finable to carry a conatitueney, and
who, in the great majority of eases,
wera better retired. The best possible
reform we eon give the Senate would be
its funorai.-Liatowel Banner.

Tho House of Commons has tackled
the question of reform or abolition of
the Senate with earnestness, but with-
out coming to any definite conclusion.
There to a general agreement that
Senators ought not to be appointed for
life. But if the term were shortened
without altering the anode of appoint-
ment, the case would be worse than
ever. The volume of patronage in the
hands of the Government would be in,
oreaaed. The individual appointment
would be less valuable, but the number
of appointments would be augmented,
Suppose that the Average duration of a
life appointment is thirty years, and
that the proposed term is ten years,
there would be tiaras appointments in
the Mande of the Government instead of
one.
Therefore, if there is to be real re-
form, the mode of appointment must be
changed, Appointment by the Provin-
cial Legislatures would moan appoint-
ment by tale dominant party in each
L'gielaturo, or by the Provinoial
Government. This would be better than
appointment by the Dominion Govern-
ment, but would b9 by no means free
from objection. Vere would be a lot
of wire•puliing nn intrigue to obtain
the coveted positions, and the party
patronage in the halide of the local
Governments and Legislatures would be
increased,
Ducat election by the people is by fax

Integrity, and capacity. they respond

We admit that the argument for an
elective Senate, if carried to its logical
oonclnsion, is an argument for the ab.

son why Parliament should consist of

visited by this committee in the search
for information was the Mansfield Re-
formatory in Ohio, and it is thought
that this penal institution will serve as
something of a pattern for Ontario.
It has already been announced that in
all probability a prison farm will be
established, ant the oontraot system of
prison labor abolished. Both these.
things have been done at Mansfield, but
there the length of imprisonment de-
pends upon the behavior of the prisoner
himself. Every sentence is a general
one, with no fixed limit or duration.
With this goes a parole system, thongh
this does not take efeeot until after the
prisoner has served one year. At Mans-
field a system of marks is in vogue,
which , are awarded for personal de-
meanor, diligence in labor or study and
the results attained, It a man's record
is good for one year, employment is se-
oured for him and he is restored to full
citizenship. In ton years at Mansfield
2,150 men have been turned out, and
it is said that at least three-quarters of
thie number have been restored to
sooiety. The net cost per capita is
about $160 a year,
The prisoners are employed in erect-
ing new prison buildings, in making
shoes for themselves and other prisoners
and in the manufacture of brooms, har-
ness and tinware to a limited extent.
,The men are a1lob'ed a portion of their
earnings up to 20 per cent. In connec-
tion with, the prison is a farm of 250
acres, from which there was a net profit
of $10,000 in 1906. Men were put to
work this farm without immediate
guards, and out of 100 men employed in
this way in 1900 only five attempted to
escape. 11 is claimed that such free.

Oue of the mo;,t curious of Britisix

will go to sea if he has heard this
name mentioned, nor will he do au/
manner of work upon that day. Tee

one bearing the wtme, and a house

his life made so unbearable by the -vil-

HABITS OF SPIDERS.
"Do These Insects Sleep?" Is Not an
Easy Question to Answer.
The question, "Do spiders sleep at
night?" is not easy to answer. I have
made a careful observation of the sleep
of ants, and that conid readily be done
by watching colonies in their artificial
formicaries. It is almost impossible
to deal with spiders in the same way.
I would answer, however, in general
terms that spiders sleep, as all animals
do, and doubtless parts of the night
are spent in slumber. Many species,
however, prey on the night flying In-
sects, and so must be awake in order
to catch their prey. If you will watch
the porch or outbuildings of your honte
on a summer evening you will .be likely
to see an orb weaving spider drop
slowly down on a single thread in the
gathering dusk of the evening. From
this beginning a round web will soon
be spun, and either banging at the
center thereof or in a little nest above
and at one side is the architect, with
forefeet clasping what we call the
"trap liue" and waiting for some night
flying insect to strike the snare. In.
this position spiders will sometimes
wait for hours, and it is just possible
that they may then take a little nap.
They might easily (10 that and yet not
Iose their game, for the agitation of the
web would rouse the sleeper, and then
it would rundown the trap line and se-
cure its prey. Some species or spiders
do the chief part of their hunting at
night, and there are some who chiefly
hunt during the day; but, as a rule,
these industrious animals work both
day and night.

Suffered For His Chickens. •
In London as far back as 1791 a city
ordinance was passed to suppress the
early morning cries of the street huck-
sters. This law was so severe that a
person arrested twice for the same of-
fense could be imprisoned for ten
years. There is one record of. a man
lingering in prison for ten years..
When his- time was up be was asked
what his crime was.
"For selling chickens that squawk-
ed," was the reply.•
In the confusion of the trial the fact
was not brought out that the chickens
and not the man were responsible
for the din that aroused the wrath of
the disturbed citizens.

Ned, walking with his father, saw
him give a beggar 5 cents and inquired
into the matter.
"Wbat did you give that man 5 cents
for, papa?" asked Ned.
"So that he might eat bread, my boy,"
said. the father.
That evening at the supper table it
was observed that Ned declined to eat
any bread, in any shape.
"Aren't you eating bread nowadays,
my boy?" his mother asked.
"No, mamma." '`$
