EDITORIAL NOTES.
Tun Redistribution Bill was given a
six months' hoist by the Senate on Wed-
neesclay night °fleet week.
Tan first session of the tenth Manitoba
Ireegislature was opened on Friday last
by the Lieutenant -Governor with the
visual formalities.
"XUST fancy ," said Sir Richard Cart -
'weight, "if Sir Charles Tupper in his
' 'had had a surplus of $7,500,000 how

Sir W. C. eDonald, the millionaire
tobacco manufacturer, of Montreal, who

rinversity aggregating close to $3,000,-
4)00, has just added another $200,000 to
the amount. The gift is to be usecl in
exteiedhig the work of the mining and

Tire following is one of the paragraphs
sent from Ottawa by R. Holmes, M. P.,
to his paper the Clinton New Era:—
attest year Hansard made three vol -
lames larger than the famely Bible on the
tientre table. This year it will be four
'volumes, and will contain much that
etvonld hardly be looked for in the other
Ix the whole history of Canada there
is no flop on record to equal that which
Sir Charles Tupper has just made in
Quebec. With an utter disregard for all
that he has said in Parliament since the
resent session opened, he has gone back
to his original policy that Canada does
*enough for the Empire in developing her
,own recourses, without contributing to
the army or navy. In the House and all
trier the country his supporters have de-
etied that he ever held suck a position.
•Zither by direct statement or by multi-
tudinous iniilications he has denied it
*wrath his owl lips, yet up he rises in the
-Oity of Quebec and repeats it all, as if
the present session of Parliament was a
*earn. Is there any other country in
the world in which a political leader
. 'could make suck a turn -about and expect
to keep his following?—Toronto Star.
lYfr. Kelly, who during the winter lies
been engaged in conducting a lumber-

MILLINERY OPENINGS.
The newest cams are castor, lantlfis
Old V0E0,. a brilliant bine and the pastel
shads. Purple and black are still very
popular, while considerable green, puik,
eeru or tusean, and blue will be worn. .
Castor and khaki, ex- kliarki, as Kipling
has it, are merely new names for fawn,
and, bemuse "Our Boys" are weluirg it
in South Africa, will be geeerally popu-
lar. Everything military is ultra feshion-
' able. Pastel Jeweils any color reduced
to a dine or vague tint. Thus there are
pastel pink, pastel shade of blue, green,
and so ou. The hat in Park's whitlow
was not in pastel shades. . The brilliant
blue is a trying color and 1 thiule few
will look well in it.
The newest shapes of hats dip before
and behind, in. the French style, and
roll up slightly at the sides. They are
not very becoming behind, and I heard a
milliner—a milliner merle you—actually
say that she didn't like them. The lat.
est .sailors also dip over the face; the
crowns are a trifle higher behind than in
front and the rim is wider in frant that
behind. They will not bo so generally
becoming as the old sailor. Rough-
riders are shown in straw and leghorn-
ette, a woven starched fabric. Many
box turbans are to be seen and turbans
witb rolled brims, Ladies' bonnets are
comfortably large and as exult) are orna-
mented with an osprey or high spray of
flowers. Children's hats show little
change, and a number of the baby's
bonnets are mainly absurd. frills of em-
broider. However, there are many rea-
sonable looking bonnets for children.
The standard hat for IL small girl is the
usual fine straw or leghorn, trimmed
simply with ribbon or chiffon, and a few
flowers. The "Buller" is a neat, col-
lected looking little sailor. This name
is seen on gentlemen's felt hats, but of
of course they are not in millinery
,shops. The hats are simply immense,
I and when I say' that I mean the size of
the hat and do not intend it as slang.
The trimmingth.
is pied on them bo
wide and high.
Foliage is equally as popular as blos- 1
soms. One hat had. a wreath around it
almost as vigorous as a, cabbage garden,
another had violets sprouting from the
orown, and a third. was holding up two
small sheaves of real livin' oats. Red
clover and pansies are developed in the
Wingham millinery places, to a size
" never equalled in the most delusive
seed catalogue. There are some bea.uti-
- ful flowers. Orange orchids and purple
ones, silk roses in several colors, white
and purple violets, which seem never to
go ont, purple clematis, and silver -
dusted green. leaves in abundance.
Straw wings, straw ties with fringed
ends to hang over the brim, narrow fan-
cy straws and chiffons and nets of many
colors and. crinkles, are used to trim.
In. Mrs. Green's window there was a
white chiffon hat as light as a feather,
embroidered sparingly with glass beads
beads that !looked like dew -drops, and
topped by two wings of black and white
chiffon. Another one of white Leghorn
had a large white ostrich feather 011 0110
side and a mass of purple violets on the
other, with ribbon in front. This store
had several handsome black hats, and
indeed they all had. A large leghorn,
drooping front and back, a fold of
chiffon fastened front and back with
steel butterflies, and a quantity of bine
ribbon loops 'at side. A stylish black
turban was trimmed with tucked chiffon
coiled softly around it and. finished with
the chiffon raised as a wing and an
osprey.
A tasteful hat was that in Miss Boyd's
of pearl grey chips, soft crepe silk of the
same shade coiled and lmoited about the
crown and finished with two or three
white tips. It was very nice and dainty.
An odd and at the same time very sty-
lieli looking hat in white chip or straw,
was trimmed ou the side with huge
rnchings of white net which extended
from front to back, and. over them two
narrow black velvet bands with small
steel buckles at intervals. On the other
side was a small green -house of violets,
and under the rim a loop or two of pale
bine ribbon. A bilge black hat with
several plumes, and lace and velvet ties.
Also a pretty child'shat of chiffon. But
it wasn't "doorable;" it wouldn't stand
the "do."
A hat that was much admired in Miss
McPherson's was made of fine black
straw, bipped in front, had a bunch of
ostrich feathers a little to one side of the
front and. behind the feather a succession
of soft grey loops going to the back and
fastened down with a strap of black -vel-
vet strong with small buckles, and
shirred with white chiffon miderneath
brim. A second one, although not so
new an idea as the most in this shop,
was quite handsome. It was in white.
A large bow of white satin sat in front
with a brilliant brooch for a heart, a.
fate large feather on one gdeand flowers
on the other. Also a very effective
trimmed turban or small hat ,piled high
at one side and Ornamented with a fancy
jet pin. Again there was a 'wry tike,
doltiltte grey one.

Miss, McPherson wisely held hew op-
euiug in the afternoon so that her con-
fections might be seen in their true
colors, That pinks would not look yei-
low or blue green. "Ilie Wingba,m mil-
liners have a large number of women to
supply. The fair sex of Belgrave, Blue -
vale, and I suppose Whitechurch, pat-
ronize them. As times are really pros-
perous they will likely have a good sea-
son.
The Wingliam dry goods stores have
excellent stooks. The variety of pretty
wash goods is so groat that one w,.uld bo
thankful if they didn't need anything
new; one doesn't know which piece to
choose.
The two Gordon windows were skill-
fully and attractively dressed. Miss
McPherson's rod, white and bine stair-
way was the only patriotic touch wa
noticed.
Words lose their value at a millinery
display. It is "Ali! isn't that lovely,"
or "delicious," or " very cute," or "very
sweet" (it is always very) when perhaps
they are not, until one gets sick and the
words soon fail to mean anything.
it is well for us all to dress as well as
we can afford. It does not, as a few
suppose, increase our vauity. A man or
a woman may be just as vain of their
shabbiness and old fashion as it is pos-
sible to be of good up-to-date garments.
If yon. remember, John. Ridd hz " Lorna
Doom" speaks of dress in these quaint
and quietly humorous words wheu ou
his way to Loudon, dressed in the best
that the neighboring "stitchers" could
make him:—
"For ,beiug in the best clothes, one
trios to look and to act (as far as may
be) up to the quality of them. Not only
for the fear of soiling: them, but that
they enlarge a inan's perception of his
value. And it strikes me that our sins
arise partly from disdain of others, but
mainly from contempt of self, both
working the despite of God. But men
of mind may not be measured by such
paltry mile as this."
The boys had more fun at the opening
than the girls. They always do have.
There is more humor in them anyway.
One poor timid soul iuquired if his bus-
tle was on straight, and, when his
anxious fears were quieted, proceeded
to try on -what he called a "sweet little
christy stiff." It looked "too cute for
anything" ou him. .
I remember au opening, some, years I
Iago now, when the hirecl man drove four
I of us girls over. After ten o'elock we
thought it Was time that some hired
man should drive us home again, so we
went to hunt him up. We wore walli:-
• ing down by the old post office, eating
grypes all the while—which perhaps we
- should not have done—and following us
, were four noisyluinps of boys singing,
I "Here's where you git the grapes grow-
ing right on the vine, in the sunshine,."
and so on in silly rhyme. Now as then:
loud attentions were not considered at
- all desirable it was decided that the
eldest of us ;thould ask them quietly to
stop. I was the eldest, and, as I had
been told that in cases of this kind. it
was wiser and more effectual to appeal ,
to their higher nature, I said eashestly
and with quite a little bit of dignity,
"Gentlemen, will you please be quiet?"
At this the boys fairly roared and the
biggest one, Ihalfecovered a
litt,sateeentteorinf8Pr;Oi!of the other three, "Oh! we'rjiil
