Thew all you have to do is to convince him that he needs someone, and that you are the only someone. This method of procedere will always produce something, although, perhaps, not just what you eel act." Another young lady threatens to mourn over the ashes of fate. He suggests that the ashes might be useful to sprinkle on the slippery sidewalk.

P. 11., we received ou Mon- day last a session ticket of admission to the speaker's gatlleiy at the Provincial Parliameut buildings. We heard Mr. Whitney, and the Hon. G. W. Ross, and Andrew Pantile, and Misoampbell, and Marter, and se' eral other valuable arti cies too numerous to mention. I con- fess that I onc&had an ardent desire to enter a political.eareer, in feat I had gone so fax as tri learn three of the Latin phrases necessary, but the fire of that ambition was teetotally quenched after listening to the leader of the Opposition speak for four liours and a half. The fire -damp began to operate after he had been speaking seven minutes. We would sooner be: the one -legged, blind, deaf-and-dumb man who begs at the cor- ner of Queen anti Yonge, than the Speak- er of the House. Were he not a fat man he would never stand it. The half -respect shown is rather hum- orous. They stand bravely up while the Speaker prays for the Queen and all the royal family. :Then they sit down and put on their hats and read newspapers, and talk to each other, and whistle on pages, and go out and come in, and pound. on their desks, and then do it all over again. I is impervious, too, so Mr. Speaker told them, that the mem- ber they were addressing was to be termed the honorable gentleman oppo- site. This leads to clot of poetry, the poetical figure 4 of oxymorom being especially prominent, for one may often hear such stater/lents as, "the honorable gentleman opposite is a liar, a thief, a corruptionist, atc."; not in so many, words of course, but that is what they mean. `tiow the Handsomest osi :a';o ' Door ivrats t.uwt.r . .F 7icor Rug S. i cape "f amen( vol and u:•o£ul little bet& dill be sent free to any address in Cauade.

New Zealand is a country that affords r strilring example of the benefits of wise legislation. Here 111 Canada our monop- oly fed politicians are constantly* warn - are • us of the danger of "paternal legislation," The people of New Zea - laud, however, have thrown all such interested advice to the winds, and have enacted laws which, to our benighted minds, seem almost revolutionary, But the beneficent results are so plain that they aro attracting the attention of the cieiiized world, and the adoption of similar legislation in our own country is much to bo desired. Hon, J. G. Ward, formerly treasurer 'of the Colony, and probably its ablest financier, said iu an interview some time ago in. the United States. "There aro not many people in New: Zealand who would now suggest any attempt to repeal any of the social leg- islation we have placed upon our statute books." The New Zealand government owes and operates 2200 miles of railroads, employing 6000=hands, who work only night hours a day and whose wages are 30 per cent higher than the wages on Canadians Railways, and yet a passenger can ride 30 exiles for 10 cents, while the annual profit to the govern- ment is $2,500,000. The government owns and °palates, also on the same principles and with equal success, the telegraph, telephone and express businesses. In all government construction work the laborers are allowed to elect their own foremen. • The railways carry children to and from school free. Children between 7 and 14 years Must attend school, and there axe free high schools and universities. Women have the franchise equally with men, and any voter who fails to vote at any election is struck off the roll until a satisfactory reason is given for the neglect. The government has a life insurance department Which does more business than the private companies. There is a graduated tax on land values. .A. homestead is free of this tax up to a value of $2,600. Beyond that on, each $1,0001s levied, luta this rat. 131.1181% rLH tiro v<zlue rises, ucztil the, owner of a very largo estate world pay about three tangs the mite. The rou- e 'trainee a is that tltei.. are .rte) haulm() estates new lteld in the toantry, while the vast majority of the people own their own lloznesteeds. The income tax is levied ou the Falx° principle, with It re- sult .that there is not a single millionaire ou tho island, Government land is held for actual a.ttlers, and the settler is allowed a certain sum per aoro for clearing the lend and may borrow %Tani the govern - meat $100. mei.. The govounincut will also give hint three days work each week making roads and other public im- provements. !Are is a poiuterr for the Ontario govornineut in connection with its prejected crown lands scheme. Strikes are unlu1.own owing to the conciliatory and arbitration laws. In case of a distaste between workers and their employes, representatives of each appear before;the board of couoiliatiou. Then if they fail to come to a mutual agroeanent, ouai representative of each, without Iawyrs, appears before the court of arbitr `tion, consisting of two arbitrators chosen by the parties and the arbitration judge, whose deoisiou is final, A refusal to accept and act on this decision renders the party liable to a fine which may be as, high as $2,400. The consequence of this law which was'. carried by the organized Iabor, is that there are no inpre strikes. The early cislosing law requires all business places}; to be closed before a, certain hour, i.th some necessary ex- ceptions. Eig.it hours coustitutes a workiug day azul every worker or em- ploye is entities to a half holiday on Saturday withohit reduction in pay. Every man oiawoznau who has reach- ed the ago of d&and who has resided at least 25 years 1.4 the colony, is entitled to a yearly pou(ixon. up to $20, providing that he or she ie unable to earn 1250 a year at any occupation. If absolutely dependent the till amount is given. No saloons nee allowed in' the colony but any municipality may license hotels. If, however, a giau is seen gentler; out of a hotel in a itate of intoxication, the proprietor may be arrested and hired, and for the second offence forfeits his lideuse. Thera is very little drunken- ness in the colony. Children under 15 are not allowed to work iu factoeiesa nor women, in coal ,nines. Factories are rigidly iusp33tet1:, the word "factory" meaning any piano where two or more people are employed. Employers must provide good ventila- tion and sanitation, fire escapes, protec- tion from urtechiuery, etc., and pay compeusatiou " in case of accident. Wages must be paid within twenty-four hours after they aro due. No truck stores are allowed and no wages . ander $10 a we' ik can be attached for a debt. This is a brief resume of the laws which within saveu or eight years have comptetely revolutionized the social conditions of New Zealand, until, at the present day, she has nearly emptied her jails and poor ' houses, has almost abolished sweat shops,• strikes, tramps and drunkards, and has more prospera ty, more intelligence and more diffused wealth than any country on the globe. If follows, of course, that there is in New Zealand, less crime, poverty, in- temperance and misery, and fewer tramps and paupers than are elsewhere to be founit Why cannot we enact such laws?
