DOMINION PARLIAMENT. Sir Hector Langevirt said the question was whether the road belonged to the Gov- ernment of Canada or 6he Government of Ontario. This had been a difficult matter to look into. 'Searches had now bean com- pleted and the papers would shortly be laid before the Minister of Justioe for his opinion: Mr. Wilson (Elgin), in moving for papers respecting the proposal to convert Kettle creek into a canal between S. Thomas and Port Stanley, said he (mold -hardly conceive that anyone wos foolish enough to conceive such a projeot, practicable. He understood that the engineers fot(rid that this canal wouldhave to be 300feet deep at St. Thomas. That, otoonrea, would be a diffi- culty, but the ingenione;Minister of Public) Works might be able ton'vercome it. Then there was a soaroity of water in Kettle oreek, and it would either have to be broaght from the ,Thames by boring twenty miles or frorrithe lakee—Whit was to be gained by• a canal fromSt. Thipass to ' Port Stan. ley? There was no traffio 'between the places and the proposition was abeurd, and he was earprised that the Minister of Public Works should be so far deceived as to send his engineers to survey the route of the canal. Mr. Casey said that it was possible with the expenditure of heti a million of dollen to make Kettle creek navigable, but only for fish. (Laughter). The motion for the papers was carried. Mr. Wilecid(Elgin), in moving for the returns as to the tolls collected at Port Stanley, drew attention to the neglected Beate of the harbor. The Minister was dealing unfairly by these people, and the trade was being forced off the lake's. The result was that Port Stanley was degenerat- ing. It was tnie that the harbor had been banded oyer to the London ele rt Stanley Railway, but it was the duty of the Government to force the railway to attend to this port. Mr. Casey thought that the Government should make an appropriation to put this port in repair. Mr. White (Renfrew), on motion for re- turns, called attention to e come of hardship which had occurred in connection with the robbery of the pest office at Pembroke on the night of the1.8th of April last. The post office was broken into and registered lettere containing $2,000, as far as could be ascertained, were stolen. Many persons who had lost the money could ill -afford it, and he hoped if it was possible to reim- burse.them the Government would do so, Mr. Haggart said the invariable rale laid down in the United States, England and most countries where there were similar systems to oars, was not to reimburse for enoh losses. A departure from this rale would lead to great trouble. He had every sympathy with the sufferers, and had n� objection to the' returns being brought .down. The motion was carried. Sir Richard Cartwright called attention to the fact that the Publio Accounts Com- mittee had not been called. Mr. Foster—It will be called as early as poeeible. Mr. Laurier—But the Prime Minister ettaid it would be called for to -day. Mr. Poster—There are three days' grace. Mr. Charlton, in moving the first read- ing of the bill to amend the Dominion Election Aot, said the object was to pro. vide against promises made by candidates of the'Government of *expenditure in their riding. Another object was to provide that the Government should not expend money for; the purpose of influencing elections. This was one of the most fruitful sources of corruption at the present day. Sir, John Macdonald—You should in- clude promisee from all quarters. The bill was read a first time. Mr. MoCarthy—I would like to ask if it would not be convenient for a day to be set for the second reading of the bill against my name. I have consulted the First Minister and he has suggested Wed- nesday week, if it would be .convenient, Wednesday, the 121h. Sir John Macdonald—I think that would be convenient. This subject is of very general interest to the House, end it would be well to have a day fixed. Wednesday,. the,12th, would be convenient, but I would like first to hear from the other side. Beauty '',otvder. Beauty powder Well, there are seventy- -three tints listed by beauty dealers. Not only is the complexion carefully studied, but the dress is put on and the pulverized rice or French chalk actually matches the tint of the fabric. Of greens there are fourteen powders ; twenty-five browns were corn. pounded for the cinnamon, amber, almond and seal shades so very popular last season, and pink brocades, mauve tulles and yellow crepes all have their complimentary tones die the beauty boxes. Chief McKinnon has essayed a recom- mendation as to dealing with unfortunate girls who have become victims of man's dust and deceit.

Sir Rioleard Cartwright asked for an ex. planation os to the increase of 61,500 in the salary of Chief Engineer Page, reeking it 66,000. Sir John Macdonald explained that the improvement of the canal system and the building of the Sault Ste. Mane canal were on Mr. Page's shoulders, and his duties had largely inoreesed. Mr. Wilson (Elgin) said he was not eatis. fied with this explanation. It was a very strange thing that an official who had an incliotment hanging over hie head from one of the Government supporters Should re- ceive snob an increase. ,Sir John Macdonald—That's another page altogether in his history. The item paseed and the committee rose. Points About Advertising. Newepaper men in solioiting advertising are often met with the statement, " I don't need to advertise just pow; I am unable to fill my orders; when busiriese begins to slacken up I shall, perhaps, twilit myeelf of your columns." ,It is the old story of the leaky roof, which did not need repairing when the weather was fair, and could not be repaired while it rained. The wisest business men and the most eacceseful ones are those who keep their names prominently before the publio when trade is good as well as when poor. The time to boom a town is when everybody is interested in it. When the interest fails, one raight Se well try to sweep back the advancing waves of the mama as to withstand the stampede of waning confidence When trede is driving ie the time to tnake one's business so, well known that when the dull season comes there will still be customers to keep the manufec- tarer .buser: Said a buoinese man "1 mast advertise if I would get good results from my men on the road. Before I ad- vertised, my travellers entering an office would be told we are not acquainted with your house,' and in many oases found that they could not secure an order which," per- ohanoe, would be given to a competitor bta- fore their eye& As 'Boon ite I began to ad- vertise I had a different experience. My men found that it was equivalent to a letter of introduction from a mutuel friend. Oh yes, we have noticed your advertisement, and we feel acquainted with your house.' In this influence alone our advertising pays.' " This is no unusual experience. Men will deal with those whom they know, or of whom they have heard so much that they feel ac- quainted.

Mr. Laurier—AB far as this side is con- cerned, we will agree to this arrangement. Sir Richard Cartwright said it was premature to ask what day the Budget would be brought down, but he supposed it was safe to preenme it would not be brought down next week. - Mr. Foster—Not next week nor the fol- lowing week. The House went into Committee of Sup- ply - Mr. McMullen, on the item for printing and etationery, said that it appeared that printing was more costly than ever, and that instead of the sieving that the Secre- tory of State had promised, there would be a loss to the country in consequence of the establishment of the bureau. Mr. Chaph3an said that when the Print. ing Bureau was fully completed; he be- lieved the economy Which he prornised would be realized. He hoped this would be the case, and it it was not it would not be his fault. Mr. Somerville said he understood that the Secretary of State had admitted to the printers that the present arrangement coeit more than the old eyetem. Mr. Chapleau replied that all he hall. said was that the printing had cost more than he had anticipated on account of the unfinished etate of the building, which com- pelled them to run two establishments at once. Under head of Delminion Lands, Sir Riohard Cartwright pointed out that theta was a large dieorepanoy between the Scotch News Notes.

It is high time that a warning voice was reified against the growing habit of cigar, ette mains, a practice that has extended enormously in Canada within the past few years. The evil consists largely in the tea that it is the youth and boys ot the country vvho are most affected by it. The men who smoke eigarettes use, tie a rule;the imported article, but the ha- oreaftedt, coneumption ie Welly in &rasa. tio, brands, sold at a mu& lower price, and ooneeqnently always purchased by boys at least. Hon. John Coatigan, 'Min- ister of Inland Revenue, on being spoken to about the matter, cordially gave hie permission to have anything ' oonoerning it publiehed, as, however much the crusade against the cigarette might lessen the rev.' mile, the queation was one involving far more important issue& Mr. Gerald, the Assigtant Commissioner of Inland Revenue and Inspector of Tobacco, has therefore obtained, and furnished the following statistics of the number of cigarettea made in (limed& during the fiecal yeare named: 1887, 7,900,750; 1889, 22,705,660—a trebled production to meet the inoreeseci demand in two years. At this rate in four years the ()marvel:option of domeetio cigarettes in Canada will number about 200,000,000. To the 23,000,000 made in Canada this last year must be added the number imported, but which oan only be estimated, se the =stoma Marne lump cigars and cigar- ette s together. If, however, the imports are put at the same figure, then we have the total number of cigarettes consumed in Canada in a year at about 45,000,000, That this is a question of public moment is eeen from the records or the compara- tively few assail published: Last month a young man, Thomas Meloney, of Water- ford, N. Y., died from the effeots of 'cigar- ette smoking. In the same month the 'death of Willie C. Hawke, of Riohmond, Ind., was attributed to the same habit. In the same month, John Barry, of New York City, became an epileptic and in- sane, and chased his brother with a knife because he would not go out and fetch him oigarettee. Of °puree in these and other oases the evil lies not in the mere use of cigarettee bat in the excessive nee of & form of tobacco smoking that invitee excess, and often the tobadoo used is of the worst, and sometimes drugged. That the cigarette is used in excess is ehown from all the statistics. For the last fiscal year the number consumed in the United States rose to the incredible total of 2,151,515,360, an increase of 288,- 789,260 over the preceding year, and the inoresee the year before was 334,642,000, an increase in two years of over 600,000,-, 000. The testimony of dealers in tobeoco is to the effect that all this sale of oigar. ettes does not affect the sale of dears, except a few of the small, -mild brands, showing, as the London Daily News re- cently observed, that the oigerette smoking is over and above what was formerly done. There is this additional evil, that many who are physically weak and cannot smoke a pipe or cigar take to cigarettes, when the effect is to f arther un- dermine the young man's health. As can be seen from the above figures, the relative inorease in cigarette smoking is much greater in Canada than in the United States. Ottawa itself affords an example of the extent of thie habit. Thecapital contains many dilettanti, who consider the cigar or pipe comparatively vulgar. And cigarettes, because they are handy, or be- cause they are mild, aro largely need, and 111111101111011.111Mar T,114 WORLD'S WOAKEilft AbOUt Men Wo ,Work for a Daily Wag!), ITEMS FROM, ALL rAirrs.
