was that nobody who hed observed the

Inge. He farther ohergee him, with roping
magistrates contrary to their duty to per-
form work.
Sir John Macdonald said he had 'no
objeotion to the hon. member raising the
question, but he thonglat e great injustice
would be done to the commissioner if the
resolution were adopted. As to the charge
of inoompeteuoy brought against the
commissioner, it wee absolutely un-
true, because the member for aassiniboia
had borne ample teetiintroy to theecharaoter
of the men out there. he charge of in.
efficiency was also foendationless, because
the commissioner was Appointed in conse-
quence of being it. strict diseiplinarian, a
man of a great deal of cletermination. The
laxity in disoipline which had begun to
manifest itself b.efore his appointment had
now disaimeared: The ' charges preferred
were merely gathemel up, and the eVidettOe
that had been adduced did not warrant

could not consent to a commission of
inquiry. Whenever any charges were
brooght, they were fully inquired into.
Mr. Laurier said that if these charges
were nue, they would.go very far taivards

When aarnember of Peiliament Made graye

resolution of the Nortliia4st tounpil asked
for an inquiry, and that should not ' be

west mounted police.
Mr. Ilaodowall, in seconding the motion,
thought the charges sheulci be investigated
on the lines mentioued byi the leader of tne
Opposition.
Mr. Watson said these oherges were
almost as severe as those brought against
Gen. Middleton, and there should also be
an investigation here. He had heard
repeated complaints' ts'etilest, the action of
Col. Hew:biter. He moved in amendment
that the charges. againat Commissioner
Herohmer be investigated, omitting an
inquiry into the management of the
mounted police.
• Mr. Daly had not the elightest hesitation
in saying that the bulk of the charges pre-
ferred against the cotnmissiouer were mere
rumor.
Mr. McMullen moved the second reading
of the measure to amend the Civil Service
Aot. He explained thet the principle of
the bill was that no one was eligible to
Civil Service appointments unless he had
resided five years in the country.
. Sir John Macdonald said that the im-
pression that there had been an undue
preferenae given to strangers, especially if
they were from the Old Country, was un.
founded. He claimed that in the Civil
Service, during the period he had anything
to do with public affeirs, Cieneda had oar-
tainly been kept tor Canadians, and he
challenged any one on this point.
He would call the attention of
members oppoaite to the effect of
an announcement suoh as this. What
would the Scotch, Engliela and Irish
people say if they had to remain in the
country for five yeses before they were
eligible for the Civa Service? Such a
measure as this wouie tend to loosen the
ties between the Old Conatry and Canada.
They expeottei a teeming population from
the home oonatry to the Northwest. How
did they expect the Government of that
region could be wearied on if they had to
remain five yeses before they weld be re-
garded as eligible for posts?
Mr. Laurier said that the principle of the
Bill Wii0 in harmony with the principle of
the Government that Canada was for the
Canadians.
Mr. Chapleau said thet there were 30,000
candidates wahine, for employment in the
Civil Service of Canada.
Mr. Billie said that there was no great
difference betteeen the 'members on- both
aides of the House.
Sir John Macdonald asked that the Bill
be withdrawn.
Mr. McMullen said that with the Bestir -
mice of the Government that they would
not give unarm preference complained of,
he would withdrew the Bill.
The Bill was' withdrawn.
Mr. McNeil rooved that the evidence
taken in the investigation of Gen. Middle.
tonal conneotion with Bremner's furs be
printed for the use of members.
Sir ,Richard Cartwright asked does the
Government intend to cease the number of
persona tactually present in the Dominion at
the time of taking the oensue to be recorded
as well as those enumerated under the de
jure system?
Mr. Carling—It ig the intention of the
Glelverritnent to take the text amine on the
dejure system, and care will be taken to
have it acettrate.
Mr. Foster moved that to -morrow the
.House resolve itself into a committee to
.consider the following reeolution 11 That

that continues in foto° till Jely let, 1892.

The Truth About Advertising.
There's nothing on earth so mysteri.
coley funny as an advertisement. The
prime, first, last and all -the -time object of
an advertisement is to draw oastom. It
is not, was not and never will be designed
for any other purpose. So the meichant
waits till the busy season comes, and his
store is so full of custom he can't get his
hat off, and then he rushee to his printer
and goes in for advertieing. When the dull
season gets along and there 15 00 trade, and
he wants tp sell his goods so bad he can't
'Pay his rent, he stops( &Mortising. That
is, some of them do; but onasionally
level-headed inerohant does more of it, and
ecopips in all the business, while his neigh.
bore are making mortgages to pay' the gas
bill. There are times when you couldn't
stop people from buying everything in the
store if yon planted a cannon behind the
door, and that's the time the advertisement
is sent out on its holy mission. It makes
light work for advertising, for
chalk sign' - on ' ' the t sidewalk
could do all that was needed and have a
half holiday six days in a week; but who
wants to favor an advertisement? They
are built to do hard work, and should be
sent ont in the dull days, when a coetomer
has to be knocked down with herd faots,
and kicked insensible with bankrupt re -
dilations, and dragged in with irresistible
slaughter of prices before he will spend a
cent. That's the aim and end of adver-
tising, and if ever you open a store, don't
try to get them to oome when they are
alceady sticking out of the windows, bat
give them your advertisementright between
the eyes in the dull season, and you will
wax rich, and own, a fast horse, and per-
haps be able to smoke a cigar once or twice
a year. Write this down where you'll fall
over it every day. The time to draw busi-

A Point for dironologists.
"Do you notioseequeries a reader of the
Breakfast Table, "ow prevalent the idea
is, even among newspaper men, that wo
are in the last decade of the century 2 "
It is a common error to which the cor-
respondent alludes, bat a moment's
thought cannot fail to set one right. From
the opening of the Christian era to the
year e0 certainly formed the first decade
of modern ohronology, and the second
decade began with the year 11. The first
century ended with the close of the year
100, and the second century began with the
opening of the year 101. So the nineteenth
century began with January 1, 1801, and
will close with Deoember 31, 'true The
last decade of the nineteenth oentary
will not begin, then, until January 1, 1891.
Nevertheless, people for the rest of this
year will insist that we have entered upon
the last decade of the oentury.—Boston

Giving Shape to the Feet.
Everyone, but especially children,
should wear properly -fitting shoes, no
matter how common their material. They
should be neither too large nor too Emelt,
and should have low, flat heels that must
be promptly " righted " as soon as they
begin to west to one side. 11 the toes of
the foot show a tendency to overlap they
should be rubbed with the hands onoe or
twice each day;. and if this cue be given
when the oureang commences, it will, as a
rule, prove , sufficient to correct any
irregularities' of this nature. If a nail is
wayward in its growth, trim it only lightly
at the ailing corner, bat fully at the
opposite corner. lf both corners grow too
deeply into the Seth, clip them carefully
,and, lightly, and then scrape the centre of
the nail from the tip to near the root
until it is thin and flexible. This prooess
seldom fails to correct refractory nails—
provided, of course, they are not neglected
too long. •

*TORN MOREMY*
The nen of Letters, the Politician arid the
Friend of 'reload. -
Joan Morley is one of the few meet who
excel in both literature and politics. His
books and his speedos on political
problemhave won renown for him
throughout the English-speaking world. He
was born 51 yeers ago, and is DOW in the
prime of his mentel powers. He received
his early edueetitin at Lincoln College,
Oxford, where his abilities and ettain-
ments drew round him an admiring band
of Students. Au omnivorous reader, he
paid more attention to modern writers
than was consistent with an aspiration to
olaseioal hollers. Carlyle wae hie master
in those days, says a London correspondent
of the New York Sun, and ieit a stoma ell
his thiuking whioh later influences cannot
efface. in the debating eociety he was a
constant and effective speaker. The range
of hie reading, the alertness of his intellect
and the aleanmutting edge of hie speaking
pointed to him as one destined to make his
mark in politics. But literature was his
first love. After graduating he qualified at
the bar, but never practiced law. Like
many oler clever mum men of a literary
turn of mind Morley drifted into jOurnal-
ism. His earliest contributions appeared in
the Leader, the oegart of the wheel of philo.
trophies! Railicale, headed by George
Henry lamer. These articles led to an
appointment ea the staff of the Saturday
Review, then in the fell /Rob of its power.
John Stuart Mill was so terected by some
of the ideas enunoiated by the young writer
that he sought him out and 'offered his
frienithhip. Neediest: to add the offer was
gladly accepted. Morley mune under the
spell of the magnetic philosopher, and ton -
tinned his ardent dimple until death broke
the connection. Morley rose gainkly from
the contributor'a desk to the editor's chair.
The coatrol of the Fortnightly Review a
magazine devoted to the exposition of the
views of cultured radicals, was placed in
his hands. The limited stwoess of the
venture must be credited to lack of sym-
pathy with its subjeot on the part of the
periodioshreeding public rather than to
tiny lapk of ability on the part of the pro-
raoters. In 1E180 Mr. Money gave up the
editorship of a monthly to undertake that
of a daily. For three years he guided the
destinies of the Pat/ Guzette to the
extent 'of writing its levaing articles and
lending it the authority of his name An
editor in the ordinary joarnaliatio sense of
the word he was not, noroould he be. He
had not the neceasary breadth of view or
sympazhetio touoh with the news of the
day.. One ides possessed him, and ex.
presped itself in his edhorial articles over
and over again—the idea that now dorain.
atesiilis polibical speectiesmanaties to Ire.
land. Men liked in those days to read the
articles for their literary form and rare
finish, but they paid no heed to their mes-
sage. Morley did not, hoiveyea, lose heart.
He kept peggiug away at his favorite topic,
until thettime came when he received an
attentive hearing.
Morley is mom man of letters ih the
cad -fashioned sense of the lterm than a
joeirettlist. It was only tbe' force of oir-
ourastanoeraellat drove him into the whirl
of newspaper life. Hie best and endnring
work has been done in the quiet of the
library. Thebooks he wrote- an Voltaire,
Rousseau and Diderot are masterly
sketched of men and events in an intensely
interesting and critioalmeriod. It is under-
stood in literary circles that these are but
preliminary studies, clearing the way for
what the author hopes to be his great
aohiovement—a history of the French revo-
lution 'rwo of his English biogrephies,
his 'Lie of Cobden" and hia .i‘ Edmund
Burke," stand in the front rank of that de-
partment of literature.
Many of those ,who followed Morleyes
career with interest 'thought he made a
mistake when he turned his back on letters
and took" to politica but they have had
time toohange their opinion. 'Daring the
five years of his Parliamentary life he had
achieved a name and position unique
among his fellows. Careful study of the
problems of. the day, power to clothe his
arguments in strong and exact language,
and the transcendent ability clearaater-
ietio of the man united in placing- him
almost at a single leap in the froat rank
of members of the House of Commons.
His honesty and consietency go un-
challenged even by bitter pertiaans.
An enthusiast, with a strong
trust in baman nature, he seeks to promote
the welfare of the soils and deughtere of
toil. He has told us that that he "counts
that day basely passedin which no thought
is given to the hard lot of garret and hovel,
to forlorn children and trampled women."
This sympathy with the poor forma strik-
ing expression in a recent speeoh addreseed
to a radical association in the east end of
London, in which he said :
"We shall not make the world over again.
We shall not turn this London purgatory
into a paradise, perhaps, in your lifetime or
in mine; bat we can go on with the work
by making beginnings and by trying experi.
merits in new directions. We want to give
to those who plow the ground, and who, in
the sweat of their brow, sow the seed, a
rather handsomer share in the sheaves
when they are reaped. We want that these
who weavethe gsrments shall not them-
selves go cold. We want some means by
whittle, when a mare has toiled hard all his
life, has been prudent, thrifty and self-de-
nying—we want, when old age comes, that
his last days shall not be a racebetween hie
life and his saving', and he shall not be
oppressed by the dreadful and cruel anxiety
that hie Lite may last anger than his little
savings."
The political career governed by such
ideals and sustained by such ability cannot
fail of brightnes and honor.

Mr. Meredith thought it very undesir-
able that this qaestion of the railway
revenue should be left to the last day of the
session. Hon. gentlemen should have known
what was their policy at the beginning of
the session.
The motion was carried.
Mr. Balfour drew attention to a small
grant to the vaccine farm. He said that
wheu wanted the pante had been found to
be useless, end it was necessary to get points
from Detroit.
Mr. Drury said he had only recently
heard that fault was found with the vaccine
supplied by Dr. Stewart. He would see
that the state of affairs was remedied, or if
this could not be done that the grant was
withdrawn.
The House went into Committee on Mr.
Drury's Bill respecting statistical returns.
1.11r. French objected to the legislation
which provided for the collection of
statistics on ohattel mortgages, as it would
be an unnecessary disclosure of private
matters.
Mr. Drury said that in order to arrive at
the true state of the people it was neces-
sary and advisable that statistics of this
kind should be obtained.
Mr. Gibson (Hamilton) did not see why
there should be any objection to this Bill.
it was necessary, if a reliable bureau of
statistic's was to be established in this Pro.
vinoe. There should be some provision in
the Bill to show the actual number of
mortgages which have not been renewed.
He denied that the Government had any
sinister motive in view in introducing the

After Him the iriood.
During the delivery of his recent great
speech in the House of Commons, Med-
stone brought tears to the eyes of one of
the leading legal members, and at the close
a member of the Government, a pro-
nounced Tory, said: "That is the greatest
speech we shall hear in our day." The

representative of his school of oratory.

4. Cargo of Cats.
There has jest arrived from Alexandria,
at Liverpool, by the stearner Pharos, & con-
signment of nearly twenty tone of oats,
numbering some 180,000, taken out of an
anoient subterranean oat's cemetery disoov
ered about 100 miles from Cairo by an
Egyptian fetid:, who accidentally fell
into this oats' 'cemetery, which he found
completely filled with cats, every one of
which had been separately embalmed and
dressed in °loth after the manner of Egyp-
tian mummies, and all laid out in rows.
The cargo was sold at auction, perfect
apeolmens fetching 3 to 5 shillings apiece.
The teak, however, went at about 26 a ton,
and will be need as fertilizers.
Migrations of Big Maine Game.
Some of the Maine hunters report that
the caribou are fast leaving the Maine
forests and are going north into Nova
Scotia. John Darling informs tis that
John Francis, ot the Trout Brook region,
and Capt. Barker, of the Rangely lakes,
two well-known butters, report that the
caribou have been leaving their localities
for the past five years, and now only a
stray one is found in the woods. The deer
on the contrary, are growing more plenty in
in these parts and are fast leaving the
Maclaine and the Union river region. The
hunters are unable to assign any reason for
these movements of garne.—Bangor Com-
mercial.

Leading men and women in superior
compenies generally reoeive from 675 to
1125; old men and women, from $40 to $50;
juveniles and comedians, from 040 to 4160;
eptoialty and character actors, from 060 to
$100. The common run of players get

neighborhood of forty weeks. They lead
precarious lives and are apt to be more or
less in debt. Another compensation is the
profound satisfaction, the positive delight,
that all players feel, as a rule, in their
profeesion.—New York Commercial Adver.
