Sir John Thoxxtpson laid on the table of the House a petition just received. from theRonan Oatholie bishops of Canada to the Governor-G•exxeral in Council on the s,tbjeot of separate schools in Manitoba aud the Northwest. ft 'begins by recit- ing the effect of the Manitoba legislation and sots forth the alleged disabilities un- der which the Catholics labored in the p•tblic schools of Manitoba. They say that all the members of the Advisory B ,ard are Protestants, and that Protest - alit children attending those schools are allowed to pray according to their par - outs' desire, but that Catholic children are deprived of the same privilege. In- stead of a remedy beim; offered, they have been made the victims of fresh in- justice by the passing of an act in March. 1894, restraining Municipal Councils from making assessments for any schools but public schools. Under this pew act they say that in •a municipality whore there are only ten Protestant children the Catholics aro required by law to be as- sessed for the education of these ten Pro- testant children, The new act' also de- crees the confiscation of all school pro- perty hi districts which do not submit themselves to the new law. The lines of the Manitoba legislation generally are followed in the Northwest Territories, the bishops go on to say. They deeply regret the condition of affairs, and declare that the plinful experience of the Catholics of Manitoba and the Northwest Territo- ries is resented by all the Catholic, of the Dominion, and that a similar feeling certainly exists amongmany Protestants. The bishops appreciate the political ad- vantages of our present systexxi and have no desire for any other regime, and are satisfied that there is a remedy for these complaints. Canadians should not be oppressed because they are Catholics. The petition then recites the early efforts of the Catholic missionaries who were faithful to British dominion, and goes on - to say that Catholics believe in the ne- cessity of religious instruction in the school. The bishops insist on the rights they claim, and say they are fully deter- ined to preserve them i nhn their integrity. phis is a question of justice and natural ,equity. They point out that the Federal parliament has endowed the schools of the Northwest and Manitoba with a large public domain, and ask if the Federal Parliament is going to deprive the Cath- olics up there of their legitimate 'share in the profit., derived from these lands. In the estimation of the bishops religious rights are not respected when difficulties are thrown by law hi the way of Catho- lics educating their children in accord- ance with their religious convictions. They repudiate the idea of interfering with politics or political parties, and ask the House of Commons and Senate to help in a fair settlement of their actual diffi- culties. They, therefore, pray: (1) That the Governor-General will disallow the Manitoba act of 1894; (2) to .,give such direction and make such provisions fox the relief of the Catholics of Manitoba as to his Excel y �.• s=,ia.. communic al ernor of the, -.sci triilit by dress may b© given to meet the grie- vances of which the Catholics of the Northwest complain on account of the or- dinance of 1892. This petition is signed by Cardinal Tas- ehereau, Archbishop Tache, of St. Boni- face, and by all the archbishops and bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in the Dominion.. A large number of petitions were pre- sented to the House of Commons to -day from various parts of Ontario and Que- bec. setting forth that the cattle industry i' of great importance; that Montreal is practically the only available port in Canada for the export of cattle to Great Britain, and that by reason of uncertainty in ocean freights, excessive ocean freights, and scalping in respect of ocean freights, the trade is greatly prejudiced; that ow- ing to the limited number of vessels en- gaged in the trade, and the circumstance that the cattle must go by way of Mont- real, safeguards are necessary in the in- terest of the trade and of the public. and the House is asked to provide such safe- s'. lards. Thursday, May 10. Dr. Weldon moved the House into com- mittee of the whole to consider his bill to disfranchise voters taking bribes. The bill provides that when proven guilty the voter shall be disfranchised for seven years. 1VIr. Jeannotte, speaking in French, said that he opposed the" bill because it was not practical, too expensive and in- jurious to those who would be tried and found innocent. Mr. Dupont, also in French, opposed the bill.. Mr. Davin supported the bill. It could do no harm, and might do a great deal of good. Sir John Thompson said it seemed to him the committee was being led. astray from the purpose and objects of the bill. The committee reported progress. Sir.bohn Thompson moved the second reading of his hill to provide for the ex- amination of Witnesses on oath by the Senate and the House of Commons. The bill was considered in committee and read a third time. Mr. Coatsworth when the item of cot- ton velvets was h e•tclhed, stated that he had been asked by the Toronto Board of Trade to request that velveteens should be classed among dress goods with a duty of 25 per cent. After considerable dis- cussion it was decided to class velvets. velveteens and plush fabrics under rine head, with a uniform duty of 30 per cent. tel valorem. Webbing,. elastic and non- elastic, was made 20 per cent. Cotton sewing thread, in hanks, was reduced to 121 per cent. Cotton thread and crochet cotton on spools or tubes was left at 25 per cent, Sir Richard Cartwright objected to the duty of 12; per cent. on cotton in hanks. He said that this was simply giving pro- tection to the spool -Winders of Canada, Hon. Mr. 'Wallace explained that it was an industry of considerable import - Once, since it entailed the manufacture of the spools and paper boxes, and a large amount of printing.. The item passed. Cort:lage n e.s., which appeared in the xxew tariff at 30 per cent., was reducers. to 27 pin. cent. Ion. Mr. '4Caliaco explained that fisher- men would continrhe to get their cordage and twines in connection with their fish- ing absolutely free. Mr. McMullen objected to fishermen • getting free twine,and denouned them as a privileged class, The item pasod. Hon. Mr, Foster stated, that if the House desired it he wenld put the ditty 01/ cordage to the figure in the okl tariff, namely, 1/ dents per pound and 10 per cent, ad valorem. This was agreed to. The item of rope, binder twine, boot- laces, hammocks and lawn tennis nets, damask towels, sails, sacks, manufactures of hemp, flax and: jute, 'jute cloth, silk and manufactures of silk and ribbons were passed almost without discussion. A stop was made at the item, wool. viz., Leicester, Cotswold,- Lincolnshire, South- down combing wools, or wools known as. lustre wools anti other like combing wools, such as is grown in Canada, 3 cents per pound. Mr. Charlton said this really afforded no protection to the Canada farmer. be- cause the duty was on the kinds of wool that were produced in abundance inside the country. If the Government really wanted to help the farmer. let them put a duty on wool imported from Australia and the Argentine Republic, Under the present system hardly any duty was col- lected and it did the farmer no good. Mr. Ives pointed out that the fact that only a small quantity of wool was import- ed did not prove anything. The duty kept a great deal of wool out. Mr, Foster said that a ditty on the kinds of wool nut produced in Canada would simply be a duty on raw material and would increase the price the consumer had to pay. Hon. David Mills said the Finance Min- ister was not dealing fairly with the ag- ricultural population in pretending to protect them when he really afforded no protection at all. Hon. Mr. Wallace—That would take half a million of dollars out of the pock- ets of the people, or it would compel then to wear coarse woollens, when they did not want to. Carpets. oilcloths and a number of items likely to arouse discussion were al- lowed t0 stand, but a large number of uncontroverted items passed, including nearly all the sundries list and fish and fisheries products. To the latter an item was added : " Fresh and dried fish, n.o.s,, imported in barrels or half -barrels. 1 cent a pound." The free list was then taken up and rapid progress was made, though a number of items were left over. The committee reported progress. AYRSrnILE ANECDOTE. The Fall of Adam. On one occasion the minister of an Ayrshire parish, carrying out an old cus- tom, gave it out one Sunday that he would visit Balmuuray on the Tuesday, and all the herds and others round about were to be there at the appointed time to be catechised. Adam M'Haffie was the herd there then, and the night before set off to the village for some bits of things to manse the house, and entertain the minister anti others, for there was aye a tea after the catechising was done, Among other things he had to get there was, of course, a bottle of whiskey, and when Adam was getting it, who came in but Pate M'Ghie, the shoemaker, and he treated Adam to a M il and Adam treated him, and the landlord treated them both, and they both treated the landlord, and kept at it till Aclam was hardly able to attache sou -et dike yiJ pith the bottle '12ne a VP444,f+. e groceries. s rte got e , tit t ;'3:t1 :{ - ,'s t (Y''.F�7ixin g 1 oil own house -end lie trippit over ant,,,_ that somebody had left lying, and fe i breadth and length on the stones; and as he tottered- forward. to fall the bottle came out of his pouch and went a' to smash; and when he fell he came right down on the broken glass with his face, and out himself most fearfully. The wife heard the scraichs o' him and ran out and had him carried in, and sorted up his face, making a terrible lamentation over the broken bottle, and wondering how ever Adam was going to face the minister the morn. When the morn came it was decided to make the minister believe that Adam was from home, and keep him all the time shut up in the bom- bed, and this was done accordingly ; and when the people arrived and the minister came, an evasive reply was given to his enquiries about Adam. After going over the scandal of the dis- trict, as usual, the minister set them all up in a row, and looked grave, and all the people looked as solemn as if they had been set up to he shot. Turning to Mrs. MI'Haffie, the minister said: "Well, Janet, as I think you are the oldest, and therefore the fittest person present, Pll just begin with you, and the first question I have to ask you is this : ` What was it that occasioned the fall of Adam ?' " Janet looked as if she had seen a ghost, and thinking that someone had told the minister of her husband's adventure, she replied : "Deed, sir, it was the graip, sir ! He wasna that up, sir, wither; but he just trippit over the graip at the hoose - 011', sir. It nicht hae happen't tae yer- sel', sir, He hadna aboon three gills in him ; but the bottle made an unto hand o' his face.

Adam accordingly opened the close -bed and came out and showed him- self, to the amusement of the minister, who eoulrl not understand the situation, till .- Hain related the whole affair, to the amusement of everyone present ; and it soon became a bye -word --"Hoo did Adam fall?"

" Oh, no, Mr. Dumioy," the lady re- plied, "the beautiful. Miss Blossom to whom you refer is e cousin of mine." " 0h1 that's it ?

Short Articles ort a Variety of Subjects Front i'4any Different Sources but all '!North a Careful Reading. A Queer Race. In the northern halt of the etteth some new light on the most primitive of races has been given to the world by A, H. Savage Lawlor, an Englishman who made a visit to Hakodate, whichis on the island of Yezo, and is the northern treaty port of the Japanese islands. There he found some queer specimens of semi -human kind known as. the hairy Ainu. The Aiuus are probably the "lowest down " in the scale of humanity of any living race. The Ainu is described as having no similarity whatever to the Japanese and Chinese type of men. The color of the skin is light, reddish brown. The eye is particularly contrasted to the Mongolian eye, having a similar form and setting to that of Northern Europeans. The hairy skin is supposed to indicate a Northern origin. The eyes are very expressive and show the emotions in an interesting way. • In adults the hair is black, wavy and in- clined to form large curls. The emotions are expressed by slight changes of posture or gesture, but the Ainus do not care to show their feelings; they' have no sense of shame, and even fear appears hardly known to them. Their history for the last twenty-five hundred years, is to a certain extent, unknown. They wore supposed at one time to have occupied the Japanese archipel- ago and to have been driven to Yezo, where they maintained their independence till the ninth century, then becoming subject to Japan. Their fierceness gradually left them, and they are now among the most peaceable and submissive of the earth's inhabitants. At Yezo their number is estimated to be about seventeen thousand. The races showing the least human ad- vancement abound mora in the southern than in the northern hemisphere. The Ainus are the most primitive of primitive races in the northern hemisphere, accord- ing to the latest observations. In commenting upon this peculiar people, it is stated that the women do most of the hard work, but the men when hunting can walk forty miles a day with- out fatigue, although they usually prefer to ride, ponies being plentiful and of a good breed. In moving a load or heavy object the Ainus never push, but always pull toward them. They appear to use the feet and toes very freely to help their hands and fingers, and they readily em- ploy their teeth; preferring to pull with the teeth.ttleses ,y,'tlx the hand when an • ��.. 111a .. .... little warmth from it to thaw their fro- zen blood..

I saw rags that wore the sport of ribald Winds, and behind the rags were tender flesh and benumbed and breaking hearts. I saw want and misery and their sister, care, overcome the companion piece to good old-fashioned wintry weather, I saw an everpresoxxt background of darkness whereon the dia- mond splendor of zero weather was cast in all its glory. I saw all this, and felt in my heart to question God why should such sharp con- trasts be. Why is the earth always to stagger and groan under its hurden of unmerited woe ? Why are little children born to cry and starve and die like the cubs of wolves ? And why, the eax'th over, must it be that one man's ~rine is another man's poison, one man's oppor- tunity another's loss ? It's a queer jum- ble, my dear, and he who sets it right has yet to be born. She Gropes In Darkness. The resources and possibilities of mod- ern methods of intellectual training have found another marvelous instance in the case of Helen Keller, an instance quite as conclusive as that furnished by the famous Laura Bridgman. The interest- ing child is now about fourteen years old. She became deaf, dumb and blind in in- fancy; and yet she has been educated up to such a point that she was enabled at the age of twelve to write by means of her own typewriter, a sketch of her hav- ing been led from darkness into the light of knowledge. Her sketch is beautifully composed, add is said by the editor of the paper in which the composition has been published to have been free from errors of spelling and the like. In view of the ehild's awful afflictions the mere me- chanical work of the achievement is re- markable enough, but when to this is added a distinctly fine quality of literary skill, the mental attainments acquired by the girl are quite amazing. We cannot resist the temptation to quote a portion of het• recital of her first perception of the sea. "Suddenly we stopped," she writes, "and I knew, without being told, the sea was at my feet. I knew, too, it was im- mense, awful, and for a moment some of the sunshine seemed to have gone out of the day. But I do not think I was afraid; for, later, when I had put on my bathing suit, and the little waves ran up on the beach and kissed my feet, I shouted for joy and ran fearlessly into the surf. But unfortunately I struck my foot on a rock and fell forward into the cold water.

They are an extremely filthy people, both in their persons and huts. They seem to have an acute sense of smell, dis- tinguishing between the odor of an Eng- lishman and a Japanese. The sense of touch is singularly defective, and even when the extremes are painful they can- not distinguish the sensation of heat from that of cold. Their hearing is very acute. They are small in stature, al- though rather larger than the Japanese. Although ignorant and superstitions, They do not look like savages or barbar- ians. Their manners are gentle, their voices soft and pleasing. The young wo- men are often comely and attractive. The Japanese in Yezo are quick to recog- nize the good qualities of the Ainu°women and many of them marry Able. wives. WHAT ITE SAW. The Night Was Beautiful, but the Pict- ure Had a Dark Side. "I tell you this is a night fit for the gods !" exclaimed the doctor as he came puffing and blowing home from the mid- night train not long ago. " Just step to the door and see for yourself." I did so, and saw the world like a splendid diamond flashing in the light of the moon. I saw a purple sky, deep and rich as the velvet leaf of a pansy, so studded with fiery con- stellations that it seemed to throb before my eyes like a flame. I saw a group of evergreens draped in dazzling cloaks of snow. T saw a far-off line of bluffs that glistened like the waves of a frozen sea, hushed in eternal calm. I saw 10,000 times 10,000 lakes of light that sparkled on the ground as though the earth were radiating dia- mond points and jewel flashes. I saw the cold, opaline expanse of the h.xlco stretch- ing infinite loneliness beyond the reach of straining sight. I saw all this, and I saw a darker, dead- lier side to the picture as I stood and re- joiced that the tardy weather had turned 001d at last. I saw miserable homes wherein human beings crouched together like hungry dogs. I saw cradles wherein lay little children whom God had meant to be rosy and sweet and warm, but whom, poverty had changed to human :skele- tons which moaned and shivered in un- easy 810011. I saw scanty fires, which hardily served to warm an inch of space in barren rooms, wherein sat wrecks of men dart women who sought in drink to hide the sting of cold and hunger, I saw young girls stretch thin and clawlike hands above a jet of flickering flame and seek to draw a several days after that I was very timid and could hardly bo persuaded to go -into the water at all; but by degrees my courage returned, and almost before the summer was over I thought it was the greatest fun to be tossed about by the sea waves." A Pretty Story. Like many artists Gainsborough was exceedingly fond of children. A pretty story of a child favorite of his has come down to us, and it is one that beautifully illustrates the groat painter's kindness of heart. He. was once upon a time the guest of a gentleman at Bath, who during his stay fellseriously ill. Gainsborough was na- turally much concerned about this, and thought it an excellent opportunity to make some return for the courtesy that had been shown to him. One morning he found his host's little daughter (with whom he had struck up a close friendship) just setting out for school. Knowing how very fond father and daughter wore of each other he re- cognized the means , by which he could show his gratitude, and at the same time give pleasure to both. Calling the little maiden to him, Gains- borough whispered mysteriously: "Dorothy, do you think you can keep a secret?" "I—I don't know; but I will try very, very hard," she answered, feeling sure that her Mr. Gainsborough was about to treat her to a pleasant surprise. "Well, I want you to come with me into my room and let me paint your por- trait. Then we will take it to your father and make him a present of it. He will be so pleased to have you always looking down on him while he is lying in bed." In a short, time Gainsborough had his "sitter" perched before him in an arm- chair, and a as rapidly sketching her features on the canvas. After painting hard at it for some days he ono morning threw the brushes down. declaring the placture ready. We can well imagine how delighted the sick man was with this handsome gift when. at last Dorothy and Gainsborough came hand in hand to his bedside. But of all throe I think the one whose face glowed most with pleasure and satisfac- tion was the great painter himself, as he caught up the quaint little maid in his arms and kissed her again and again. "Heaven bless you for your bonny face my child," he murmured.. "You have shown me the best way trepay your father's kindness." nLt V-lAY CUSTOMS. How the Merry 0001180,11 Was Celebrated in Old England. I airy on May-rlay- morning ib was the eustom in Lincolnshire, up to the middle of the present century, fox' the swains. to place branches of various trees at the doors of • the marriageable young women of the village. The twigs all meant Some- thing, and were supposed to be exmble- ntatioal of the character of the recipients, or of the Peelings of the donors, sometimes complimentary, sometimes gnito tho re- verse.. V'iei.et, the local naive for the mountain -ash, meant "sweet chicken," for instance, oak, a " joke," tend plain ash signified " trash." This last, prof- ably, was usually anonymous.. In Huntingdonshire, about the same period, a doll ornamented with bits of gay - colored. ribbons and silks, candlesticks, spoons, snuffers, and the like, was. sus- pended from a rope stretched aeross the street on the 1st of IVfay. She was sup- posed to represent Flora. •She hacl attend- ants and garlands, and the attendants carried the garlands to the Queen of the May herself. The queen Was chosen in the morning by her peers at that village school, and by the same cable she was de- throned at night. It is explained by Cuthbert Bede that " a parasol was her sceptre, and her crown a wreath of flows ers." These she always bore with grape and dignity, arrayed in a white gown and a white veil, and a beg that displayed a white pocket -handkerchief. Preceded by her mains of honor with the garlands, and followed by her other attendants of both sexes, her majesty made a right re- gal. tour from door to door, depositing in her bag, and by the side of her handker- chief, all the substantial gifts made by her loyal subjects, these tithes, usually edible, being consumed at the coronation banquet. After the sovereign and her court had. partaken freely of the votive offerings. they played " I spy," "Thread - the -Needle," and " Blindman's buff ;" and they were usually all ill the next day. The young people of Cornwall used to hail May -day as " Dipping day." They were wont to gather the flowering branch- es of the white thorn or the narrow - leaved elm (called 1VIay boughs), which had just put forth their leaves, and which they distributed among their friends. In the -afternoon all the boys of the village, armed with buckets, cans, clippers or " squirts," sallied out and availed them- selves of a license which the season con- ferred to " dip " or Clouse all persons, of whatever rani: or age, who were not for- tunate enough to be protected by the dis- play of the sprigs of the elm or hawthorn which were passed about in the morning.
