KUAN. Why Go Fishing? The false coloring which a morbid condi- tion of the physical man throws upon men and motives hinders much the prompt and effioient disoherge ot professional duties. A Methodist Bishop who is well-known all over the United States is an enthusiastic fleherinan. He says he would have been a hunter too but for being near•eighted in his youth. When hie overconscientious friends ask him how he eau afford to spend so mnoh time on the river bank he replies Ae a means of grace, sir." Nothing osn be compered to field [Torts in the way or recreation. Of Gonne the same amount of mere physioal exertion oan be easily had by artifleial means, but this is only heir, perhaps less. No mind that is trained to close and intense application cen suddenly leave off and do Lathing. While one swings the dumb bell or takes & consti. intional, the tough gnestion, be it a sermon, a brief, or a bsttle with pneumonia, riots in the brain and will net down. The only show is to give the mind eomething else upon which to work. This is most success- fully done in the effort to circumvent a wily trout or make the most of a day's shooting. The inteneity with which a genuine sports- man will ?eons his trained facilitiee on such problems is refreshing to & degree, and aometimee supremely funny. These are some of the things I say to my Mende who seem Surprised to see a preaoher and a missionary put on a duoking coat and a slonoh hat and "take to the woods." J And to myself I say that if ever there was a position in the world which demanded a little communing with nature from time to time it is the one I am trying to fill. Even if I thought it interfered a little with my present success in my work, which I no not, I should still not deny myself that which I know to ba essential to my properly living the long and laborious life that I believe I am entitled to look forward to.—Forest and Stream.

DOMINION PARLIAI1ENT. early as 1887 in a speech in Barrie that The motion of Mr. Hazen for an address in reply to the epeeeh was then put and carried, The eirldreee was introduced and ordered to be presented to the Governor-General by each members as are Privy Connoillore, • SUNDAY ODSDRVANON. Mr, Charlton introduced a bill to immure the better observance of the Lord'e Day oonemonly called Sunday. Win Charlton, after introducing a bill to further amend the Donainion Eleotions Aot, ohapter 8, revised statutes, said that if the orindidate or agent at any time dur- ing an election promised that the Govern- ment would make, or would be solicited to make, any grant of money or conetruot any public work for the benefit of the con- stituency, oath pronaSse being caloulated to influence the election in the interest of the candidate, it would be considered a soor- r. apt practice within the meaning of the Act. The provisions of the Aot would also apply to any promises of a grant of money made by any Cabinet Minister, or official in the employ of the Government, where an election was pending, and whioh was calculeted to influence she result in the interest of any candidate; and aleo the eurveys of any railveleys or other prelimin. ariea wbich would give the fixtpression that a public work WIla to be proceeded with end whioh would influence the result of such election. Sir John Maodonald suggested the wadi. on tiof a clause providing some penalty for any candidate who ettid that if his party succeeded in getting into power snob peaty would assist railways. Mr. Ltinderkin—I would like to ask if the Bill will refer to tha High Commis. sioner ? Sir Richard Cartwright—I think we will have to have a special Aot for the High Commissioner pure and simple. Ur. Edgar, in introduoing a Bill to amend the Eleotoral Franchise Act, said that whether the House deoided to retain the Dominion franchise law or whether it was abolished, as he hoped it would be, he intended to test the feeling of the House upon the principle of "one man one vote. Mr. Wood (Brookville), in moving the first reading of a bill to amend the Domin- ion Eleotiona Act, explained that there waa ambiguity in the law as to whether or not a deputy returning offiaer should number the ballots before putting them into the box. The bill proposed to melee it clear that that offioer should number the coun- terfoil, but not the ballot. Mr. Mulook introduced a bill to amend the Militia Act, whioh, be explained, re- moves the disqualificetion whioh prevents officers in the Canadian militia being appointed the officer commanding Her Majesty's forces in Canada. Mr. Cameron, (Huron), moved the first reading of a bill to repeal the Franchise Act. He said thet the Franchise Aot was vicious in prinoiple and bad in detail, and could not be remedied by amendment, so he proposed to abolish it, look, stook and barrel. The bill was given a first reading. Mr. Cameron (Enron) introduced a Bill to amend the Act respecting the election of members of the House of Commons. He proposed to revert to the old system whioh prevailed before the Government assumed the power to appoint the returning offioers. Where there was one riding in & county the theriff should act; where there were two the registrar should be the returning officer for one, and where more the Government should appoint the additional offload The Bill made additional provisions as to cor- rupt prectices, and fixed the penalty at two years' imprisonment or & fine of $500. Mr. Tupper moved the first reading of a Bill rept:acting fishing vessels of the United States. Sir John Macdonald moved theft when the House rises on Wednesday it etand adjourned till Monday. hlr. Taylor moved the first reading of a Bill to prohibit the importation and immi- gration of foreigners and aliens under eon. tracts or agreement to perforra labor in Canada. Sir John Thompson, in response to Mr. Weitson, said the Government had agreed to pay the costs in testing the constitn. tionality among others of the Manitoba Act, 53 Victoria, chap. 38, an Act respeot- ing Public Schools. Mr. Lariviere, in moving for copies of all correspondent:le, petitions, memorials and any other dm:tumults submitted to the Privy Connell in connection with the abol- ition of the offioial nee of the French lan- guage in the Province of Manitobs by the Legislature of that Province, said the con- stitution of the Province of Manitoba was somewhat eimilar to that of Qaebec in regard to the nee of the English and French languages. Mr. Larlviere moved for copies of all correspondence, petitions, memorials,hriefe and facdoeme, and of any other doonmenta pribmitted to the Privy Council in oonneo- tion with the abolition of Separate Schools in the Province of Manitoba by the Legis - Jethro of that Province. They had. before the Province of Manitoba was created, a system of Separate Sohoole in that colony, and when the Manitoba Aot was passed it was intended that this system, which existed in the older Provinces, &mid be continued in Manitoba. He might say in regard to the question of education, as well as that of a dual language, that Mani. Web& had ignored the letter of the oonstitn. tion in the passing of an Aot during the session before last. Prooeedings had been taken in court in order to teat the motion of the Legislature. Mr. Gray, in the absence of Mr. Tarte, p moved for °eee of documents in corms). lion with the construction of the Kingeton graving dock. Carried. Mr. Devlin moved for copies of all peti. dons presented to His Excellency with reference to the Sohool Ants of Manitoba, and all memorials reports, Orders-in- Connoil, and correspondence in connection with the same. The Catholic county of Ottawa had for many years been repro. sented by Protestants, both in the Com- mons and the Legislative Aesembly. He was the firet Catholic, who had represented Ottawa county in thie House, his diatin- guished ieredeoessor, Mr. Alonzo Wright, having held the seat for 29 years. That gave the HOU00 an idea how liberal the Cetholice were on the other side of the Ottawa River. When a candidate came forward they did not ask what were hia religions view. They simply &goer. tained his political character, and then rendered their verdiot. If this apirit of generosity were not recognized in Ontario, at lean a spirit of justice should prevail, and then this agitation world disappear and Canada world have proeperity and hat:ph:leas. 11 wan time the etorra signal was hoisted. It was time then, Canadians should be warned of the danger ahead. Much of the agitation now existing was duo to the course pinned by the member for North Simi= (Mr. McCarthy), and whether ot not that gentleman lead the approval of hie leader he (Mr. Devlin) knevenot, but it VMS known that when he 000npied a prominent pod - thin in the Coneervative petty, and when he wee the Ontario leecleei he declared he the French of Qatibeo were getting more French than when they Were conquered on the Plains of Abraham, and that as menabere of the body politic) they were a great denger to Confederation. That Wail pretty strong language. The trade of allell utterances were to -day being reaped. The first shot upon the French was fired in the Jesuit alarm,. and the seoond shot in the Local campaign in Ontario. Now the tiring was goirig on all around. Separate schoole and the French lenguege, it was dealared, must go. The great danger to Confederation was im the policy pursued by Mr. McCarthy, who reeeived the approbettion of many members! of the House who dare nos declare openly for his policy. This crusade would have a most unfortunate effeot, because it would show thet the rights of minorities were not to be res peoted. Mr. Mills (Bothwell) moved for the correspondenoe RS to the Atlantic, ntail itei vice. Mr. Foeter did not have any fault to &nil with the request for information. The original proposition was to aeoure a Pacific service line to Australia and an Atlantic eervice. Today the lPaoific servioe was of the highest order. Although the Govern- ment vent a great deal of time to manna- plieh the /Wend° service, it had so far been unauwiessful for various reasone. Before the olose of the present session they hoped to be in a position to give more definite and more favorable information. They realized the great desirability of hav- ing a firet-olase service and hoped soon to be able to meet the wiehee of the House. iir Hector Lengevin moved that the tiine for reception of petitions for private bills be extended from the 81h to the 22nd of May.—Carried. Dlr. Tupper, replying to Mr. Flint, said it is the intention of the Government to Innis the &here, bounty cheques iesaed hereafter before March 51h in each year. Sir John Macdonald, in answer to Mr. Choquette, said that the qaestion of allow- ing the entry into Canada free of duty of animsla from the United States for the parpoee of being slaughtered le ander con- sideration of the Government. Mr. Hagman replying to Mr. Jones, timid that the Government is considering the question of a two -cent postage rete, and in answer to Mr. Denison he said that the propoeal to approaoh the Imperial authori- ties with a view to establiehing a uniform Iraperial two.oent rake wait also being considered with the general question of the redaotion of postage. Mr. Heggart, in reply to Mr. Mills (Both- well), said that the census of 1881. was announced by the end of July of that year, and, similarly, the census of 1891 would probably be announced by the end of July of this year. • Sir Elector Lengevin, answering Mr. McMullen, atated that the entire cost of the safe with the foundations pat in the Finence Department was $44,468. The tender was 29,750. Mr. McMullen moved for a rotnrn show- ing the cost of the construction, the loom, - don, the date of erection, the ospeoity of the elevators on the Intercolonial Railway, together with the quantity of grain that hesd passed through them each year since their erection.—Carried. Mr. Landerkin moved for a return giving the date of the declaration in every tiding daring the eleotion, if adjoarnments were made from the time fixed at the nomina- tions, why, and the MOM of the returning officer where such marred, the name, occupation aria eddrese of the returning oacer the date , of the reiurn by the returning officer to the clerk of the Crown.in-Chancery, the date of the re- ceipt of each, together with the name of the electoral district, the member sleeted thereto, and the date of the publication at his return in the Canada Gazette. He said that it had become notorious that irregularities had crept into the methods of holding elections and that delays had occurred for whit& suffident reasons were not given. He desired to ascertain the reason for the delay in gazetting his return in South Grey. It was desireble, if there were any advantage to he gained, that all should have it; while if there were any disadvantages, it should he remedied as far as poeeible. Mr.Mills (Bothwell) said the subject was entitled to tile consideration of the House. In a large number of instanoes oonsider- Male delay had occurred between the date of the election and the date of the deolara• tion. There were penalties provided by Mw for the returning officers who abused the powers given them, but in many oases they could not be enforced, as the men appointed had nothing. In 1887 the Clerk of the Crown.in-Chamery was at Wilt, but now it was the returning officers. This was a gross abase, and one which should not be tolerated. Sir John Macdonald said every return- ing -officer would be responeiblo for the proper performance of his duty. The pub- lication of his own return was delayed by the returning -officer, who was a personal and political friend of his own, and had it not been he perhaps world not have had the petition filed against him. He agreed that all means should be taken to see fair piety on both sideo. Ur. Charlton said that his return was gazetted on April 4th, two weeke later than that of the member for South Norfolk. It might have been through inadvertence, but such delays were unjast. Mr. Montagne said the delay in this oase took place on account of the illness of the returning -officer. Mr. Mulook moved in amendment that the following be added to the motion: Also copies of all lettere written by or on behalf of any member of the Government to any member-eleot or to any other person or per- sons suggesting that Any returning -officer be aeked to delay making his return to the Clerk of the Crown•iraChancery. The motion as amended was carried. The House adjourned at 4.15 p. m. The Streets of Jerusalem.

' ONTARIO LEGISLATURE The firat eeeeion of the seventh Eittelhin meat of Ontario was formally prorogued yeriterday afternoon at 3 &Wools. Sir Alex. Camplaeil gave his spawn to the BilIe paesed during the session, His Honor then delivered the following speech from the Thane: err.

I an' glad to perceive that the development of the mineral resources of the Province has been receiving your consideration. The provieions vvbioh you have made for regulating the oak of mining lands, sub- ject to each an interest in thena being retained es will add to the revenues of the Province without injury to the miner or the capitalist, meet with my hearty approval. I look forward with oonfidenoe to the time vrhen the great regions lying to the north and wed of the Provinoe, hitherto comparatively unproductive, will yiedd rich revenues to the Province and ithuudant eniployment to labor and capital. idle° coneolidation of the laws with respect to edtunition will facilitate the working of onr school system. The amend- ments to the Public and High School Acts, and the provisions made for restraining truancy and scouring the more regular attendance of pupils at the Public eohools, oannot fail to extend more widely than 'ever before the advantages which our solicols afford for a liberal English and commercial edneation. I arcs pleased to observe the measure adopted f or removing the great diffionitiee incident to Abe administration of the laws respeoting drainage. - The improvements which you have made in the Mw with respect to loan companies to the liebilities ot directors, and to the duties powers and liabilitiee of trustees, will prove, I have no doubt, to be greatly in the public interest. The Pablio Lands Act, the Medical Act, the Act respecting the Public Health, and your amendments to the Municipal and Asseeement Acits, will, I am euro, promote the objeote for whioh they were framed. The private bill legislation has been un- usually large, and deals with a great variety of subjects, and will no doubt greatly benefit the interests affected. I thank yon for the liberal appropria. tions which you have made for the public service. The supplies which you have grented shall be expended with care and in the public interest. With the usual formality the Provincial Secretary announced " That it is His Honor's will that this assembly be pro- rogued, and the Legislative Assembly is accordingly prorogued." His Honor withdrew and the assemblage dispersed. These for the Girls. The Bummer girl's parasol in pure white is as charming as of yore.

Rochester Herald: A correspondent the New York Herald calls attention to a cese of swift justice in Canada, where Et man who murdered his wife on March 23rd was eentenoed to be hanged on May 21s1, just two menthe between the two points. The Herald mekes a comparison with convictions for murder in this state, showing that insieed of two months elapsing between crime and punishment, from two to three years is the more pro- bable limit. There ought to be an improve- ment in the administration of criminal Electroplating the Dead. The Egyptian mummifying process of preserving the hod i of the dead is cast in the shade by a French chemist, who hes discovered a process of eleotroplating a corpse with gold, silver, nickle, bronze or copper, according to the size of the friends' pooketbook.

Within the laet few months 400 horses have been sent to Aberdeen by the Allan Line steamships which ply between that port and Glaegow. John Kinney, a West Phila- delphia horse dealer, Bent out on the Allan Line steamship Soendinavian last week 33 head of horses, among which were two stallions, all consigned to Adam MacHattie, of Aberdeen, Scotland. The latter has opened large sales etables for the exolusive sale of American horses. Mr. Kinney accompanied the vessel on her passage to Glaegow, intending to bring back Shetland ponies. Chicago horse dealers espeot to ship from this city over thousand horses within the next six months. The American trotter is preferred to the bulky and awkward running horse seen all through Scotland, and is used as a coach horse and general roadster. It cost $30 for the transportation of each horse, besides $40 insurance on each animal valued at $200. But notwithstanding then heavy ohargee, whioh do not include the expenses to Aberdeen from Glitegow, the thippers realize a profit, and propose to push the trade. Figs and Thistles.

One will readily see, oven if Canada had only five millions of population, that would not be 2 lbs. per bead. Anoord- ing to the blue book of the United States the coneuraption of tobacco in that coun- try, not including cigars and cigarettes, lit sotually five pounds per head. In other words, the Government of the United States collects more revenue per head at 8 cents per pound them Canada oollecte at 20 cents a pound. Another argument need by the deputation to show that high excise did not mean large revenue was this During the years 1883 and 1884 the each* was lowered to 12 cents per lb. in Canada. The output immediately jumped tip to 10,000,000 lbs. in the year ending 1884, and 11,000,000 in the year ending 1885, But when, in the beginning of 1886, the excise was increased to 20 cents per lb., the products fell back to 8,500,000 lbs. These are startling figures, se it oannot be, gainsaid that Canadians use the pipe aa freely as their neighbors aoross the border, and the difference of 14 oents per pound in the price is moll a strong inducement that there must be eome five or eix mullion pounds annually smuggled into this coun- try. Canada's consumption is three pounds per head as compared with the United States' five pounds per head. Then (taking a basis of five million population for Canada) there should be 15,000,000 lbs. of tobacco Imported or manufactured annually in Canada as against a little over nine million now. The deputation did not ask for a redua- tion of the customs duty on manufeatraed tobsoom but wanted the excise duty re- duced from 20 cents to 10 cents per pound. The duty in the United States is now 6 canes per pound. The Bag Baby. Philadelphia Record: They have plenty of money in Argentina. The hungerers for cheap money should go there.
