inahl le Expend i thee,
Mr. ltlills, on motioa that the Mouse
agnate go into Counnittee of Sapply, mov-
ed in amendment that "This House
deelares that since 1880 the public ex-
Penditure nas Inwood, is thereasing, and
°light to be diminished. " The expendi-
ture. be contended, was far out of proper -
tion to the wealth and reeources of the
country. The patine debt had grown
from Ve,046,000 in 1807 to e308,248, 000 in
the present year. The growth of taxation
bad been exeessive compared with the
growth of population. e
Mr. Daly likened the bon. gentleman to
Rip Van Winkle. Some sixteen years ago
the bon. gentleman had presided for a
few months over the Department of the
Interim:, and concluded that the depart -
had not progressed since then. Tbe
statements and arguments of the hot.
gentleman contradicted the policy of the
Government of whit% he was a member.
In Ontario there were now only three,
Indian superintendents, whereas in the
hon. gentleman's term of office there
were five. In a like manner the number
of other Indian °Meals in other provinces
had been reduced or remained stationery.
The condition of the Indians in the prov-
inces in 1878 and in 1804 was compared,
showing a ,vast advance in prosperity in
the latter year. He called the hon.
gentleman's attention to the 'fact that
whereas the expenditure upon Indians in
British Colmnbita in 1878 was $17,487, or
$8.74 per head, it was now only $4.60 per
head. In conclusion he had proved that
the oost to -day for managing the Indians
in the North West and British Columbia
was loss than in 1878. In furnishing the
Indians with implements, farm instruc-
tors. and oxen the department was only
carrying out the policy enunciated by the
hon. gentleman himself in 1878, and tho
expenditure upon the Indian schools was
but pursuing the suggestion of Mr. Van
Kouglinet, embodied in a report in 1878,
and laid on the table by the hon. gentle-
man himself. In other respects the depart
ment was carrying out the policies in-
augurated under the Mackenize Regime,
and more than that, any Government,
Reform or Conservative, was bound to
continue these policies.
Depar tment.
Mr. Macdonald (Huron) desired to con-
demn the blundering administration of
the Militia Department which succeeded
not only in spending money, but accom-
plished no satisfactory result. Ho con-
tended that instruction to the militia was
being imparted by mon who were inoap-
able 05 pt,rforndng She duty. The ex-
penditure on legislation, the mounted
police, public works, superannuation,
andinimigratioa, and quarantiue was
in excess of wbat it was under the Mac-
keazie regime.
Tho House divided, and the amend- •
natant was defeated by 87 to 57.
Year iseeo.
Sir Richard Cartwright, on the item of
$4, 000 for printing the year book of Canada .
being an increase of $800, said the year
book was a partisan publication and
worthless for obtaining reliable informa-
tion. He moved that the item be struck
out.
Mr. Montague said that the increase
was dile to the great demand that was
madelfor extra copies of the book by wheel
teachers and others, and the extra amount
was largely for printing additional copies.
Messrs. Flint, McMillan and Casey
supported the motion of the hon. member
for South Oxford.
Mr. Foster said that the increased vote
was asked to fill the requests for the book
from other countries. The hon. member
for Brant (Mr. Paterson) and other hon.
gentlemen opposite had asked for the in-
crease.
Messrs. Sproule and Hughes said they
had constantly tnany requests froin teach-
ers and others, including Reformers, for
the year book.
The motion was lost, and the item was
carried.
Nranco-Canadian Treaty.
Mr. Foster, in reply to Mr. Larvergne,
said tho Franco-Canadiau treaty would
be ratified and put into operation directly
after legislation pending should have
passed.
Inspector of Stores.
Sir Adolphe Caron, in answer to Mr.
Mills (Bothwell), said Lieut. Col. John
• Gray was appointed inspector of stores by.
the order -in -Council of January 31st,1895.
He was appointed superintendent of
stores in August 22nd, 1893. His duties
as superintendent were to take tharge of
all military stores at the headquarters of
his military district; being held respon-
sible for tall re( taints and issue of clothing
and stores, and for the proper discharge
of all duties assigned to the storemen and
laborers under his control, and to make
such returns as were called for from time
to time by the department. His present
salara was $1,200. He received also lodging
alloWance and $1, per diem. '
• sugar
Mr: Daly, in answer to Mr. Grieve, said
Sugar Island, in the Thousand islands.
about six miles east of Gananoque, was
sold on July 2th, 1894, to Alexander
Ferugson for $900.
Bishop Gravel's Letter.
Mr. Foster, in answer to Mr. Hughes,
said the attention of the Government had
not been drawn to the recently published
communication of leishop Gravel, of
Nicola. It was not the intention of the
Canadian Govenrinent to direct the atten-
tton of the Government of Great Britain
.and Ireland to the corninun icatio
neither did the Government propose to
ascertain how far Bishop Gravel, the
Sacred Congregation ftar*the Propagation
of the Faith, and Carditial Vaughan were
successful in their endeavor to improper-
ly infinence the Judicial Committee of
the Privy Council of Great Britain and
Ireland.
Seizure, of Sealers.
Mr. Davies directed the attention of
tho Government to the seining of Cana-
dian sealing vessels in Behring Sea by
the Russian authorities in 1890. He had
been inforraed that the loss to the ov,vners
reached at least $511,0000.
Sir Charles H. Tupper said the drown -
stances were familiar to him and very
distresstng. The seizare bore heavily 011
the sealers, Who had contravened no law.
•An inetestigation by a commission, ap-
pointed by the Hessian Governmetrat, bad
cleared four of the vessels, there not being
sufficient evidence in their opinion to

Finding that the British Go,vernment Wag

ly, so far as Russian waters wore concern-
ed., the Canadian Government hastened
to press upon that Government thole views
that no ooncessions should be made to
Russia under the circanistanoes, uplese
there Was reason to believe that SOThe Con'
CIUSiOtt WOUld be reached respecting the
settlement of those claims for damages.
Negotiations 'Were now ptoceeding.
Remedial oraer.
Mr. M'Carthyee-I wish to ask the leader
of the Mouse whether any answer to the
remedial order as been received from the
Manitoba Government yet?
M. Foster—No, not yet.
The South Shore Hallway.
Mr. White (Shelburneeresumed the de-
bate on Mr. Flint's motion for papers
regarding the, Coast Line Railway. He
said the South Shore Railway was the
first in the field, and the first to secure a
subsidy, and therefore should be allowed
to proceed with the construption of a rail-
way from Yarmouth to Shelburne un-
molested.
Sir Charles H. Tapper said the evi-
dence would 800111 to Warraut the state-
ment that tho Coast Lille or narrow
gauge railway was a political railway,
and that those interested in it wore fdr-
thering the petty party Motives of the

Doieinion had been committed to the
South Shore railway to the extent of
granting it a subsidy, but what the Gov-
ernment desired to see was the construc-
tion of a standard gouge railway.
soutia Share Hai 1way.
Mr. Cameron coatinued tho debate in
regard to the South Shore railway, and
argued in favor of the Dominion and
Nova Scotian Government combining to
support the undertaking.
Mr. MoIsatte contended that the South
Shore Railway Company waa regarded in
Nova Scotia as dead when the Coast Line
Company was chartered by the Legisla-
ture,
Mr. Borden condemned She Govern -
mail for proposing to sacrifice the Coast
Line, Company which had shown its geed
faith and its ability to construct this
read.
Mr. Kaulbach moved the adjournment
of the debate.
North-West Territories.
Mr. Daly introduoed a bill further to
amend the Act sreepecting the North-West
Territories, which was read a first time.
Exchange Hank.
Mr. Foster, in answer to Mr. Lander -
kin, said the amount guaranteed by
Mr. Ogilvie on account of the Exchange
Bank was $100,000. No portion of that
—amount had been paid. The sum re-
maining unpaid was $33,25, exclusive of
interest. The correspondence had been
placed in the hands of the Departnient of
Justice, but it was only fair th state on
Mr. Ogilvie's behalf that ho entered an
objection to the payment by himself on
account of some question connected with
the general distribution of receipts.
St, Louis Case.
Mr. lel'Mullen called attention to the
postponement of the St. Louis case in
the Exchequer Court, and asked whether
this had been done at the instance of the
Government.
Sir Charles H. Tupeer said the case had
probably been anjuurned to enable the
judge to keep .otber appointments on his
circuit. The counsel for the Crown had
neither requested nor obtained special in-
structions in the case.
Public Buildings.
On the item of $5,000 for the Marysville
public building,
Sir Richard Cartwright enquired what
the amount was intended to make pro-
vision for.
Mr Oulanet said it was towards a build-
ing that would cost about $7,000.
Sir Richard Cartwright said there was
no more useless waste of money than to
stud these little "two -penny villages with
pantie buildings." Every one of these
would require a caretaker, and would
involve an annual expenditure of from
$1.400 to $2,000 whereas $150 would be real-
ly sufficient to provide ample postal
facilities. This was direct bribery, pure
and pimple.
Mr. Foster replied that this was an ex-
ceptional case. There was an unique
state of affairs at Marysville. One of the
largest cotton mills in the country was
located there, also a lumber mill and a
brick yard. The population was about
2,000.
Toronto Harbour.
Mr. telulock, on the item of M0,000 for
the Toronto harbour, asked what were
the torms of contract.
Mr. Ounnet said the contract had been
given to Messrs. Cleveland and Murray.
and was arranged according to a schedule
of prices. The nature of the work was
excavation and filling With stone for a
foundation, and above this a crib -work .
and a double row of jetties work ,at the .
eastern end of the harbor. The channel
would be made fifteen or sixteen feet
doep. The structure would be solid, and
last for years. -
Mr. Maclean (York) said the wort
was justifying itself every day. • It had
boen tlio 111011118 of reducing the thne of
steamers across tho lake, and preserved
the Island, one of Toronto's best assets.
The item was carried.
.After several other items were carried,
the committee rose and reported progress.
MAN IN A NEW ROLE.
When the nolo animal men, finds an

to put him in petticoats ad tilt a spring

IL, the gentleinan of high degree in
France an Enigand were exports in laces
and satins, fine linens, mad silks and vel-
vets. Weil, they had to be, for men were
birds of dazzliag plumage in those old
court days. Very often they followed the
ornithological law of nature and east the
dames and damsels in the shade with their
rich and brilliant feathers. They had to
be up in the price and texture of those
fineries or be pinched. by the tailors who
(treated men in that age.
But the radical change in male garb has
long since driven these scented and pow-

To -day the average husband, even the

The other day a writer took the war trail ,
for soaks and it led to Carson, Pirie, Scott

women were holding a lively wake over
the remains of some markecl-down dross
goods. And lol in their midst a man.
Evidently he wasn't tied to any wifely
apron string, for he played his own hand.
Piece after piece was taken down and "
critically examined. Questions to the
clerk were put and answered. In about
ten rninutes, after the proper amount of
deliberation and. doubt the nice little man-
ikin gave his orders and stalked proudly
forth, leaving a wave of "giggle" behind
• him. Howes daintily arrayed in a new
suit, wore.delicate side whiskers through
which the faintest zephyr could whistle

were on his feet. He seemed. a trifle under-
done for a man. "'Wheels in his head?"
queried the writer of a brown-oyed cherub
on the other side of a hard, unfeeling
minter.
"No," she replied, in sharp and peppery
tones. "No wheels; just one big bargain

Once on the trail of a bargain fien there -

"Well, yes," said a floor -walker in Marshall
Field's, who hada saffron skin and tender
memories of the past, "I fancy we have
several very intelligent gentlemen buyers
whom you coldly stigmatize as bargain
dends'—with an acrimonionst wi t on the
fiends—"but they generally run to special
lines. For instance, there's one gentle-
man, a substantial member of the Union
League club,whose weakness is fine linen,
not only handkerchiefs and all sort of
men's wean but table linen, too. It must
be fine and must be a very evident bar-
gain, or he never buys. Ho's a genuine
linen expert, and he must have a whole
barn full of material of the best texture by
this tinae. I never knew him to branch
off into any.hing „else. That's his fad,
you see, a sort of mild mania which he's
able to gratify, and he buys with expert
skill."
"Well, I should say so," exclaimed a
laughing blonde at Seigel & Cooper's big
store. "Mollie, here's a gentleman wants
to know if we have any male bargain

The lives of thirty people were mirac-
ulously saved at Pittsburg, Pa., on Fri-
day last only by the remarkable stop of
O fast freight train on the West Penn rail-
way, near the Sharpsburg bridge. Five
persons were injured and one may die.
The accident was caused by the freight
train striking a trolley car of the Sharps-
burg and Citizens' line on a crossing. The
trolley pole dropped, from the wire just as
the car got fairly on the West Penn rails,
leaving the car m darkness and helpless.
While Conductor Lindsay was endeav-
oring to replace the trolley pole the train
approached at full speed. There was a
seramble•among the passengers, and near-
ly all got out. Engineer Blaek, of the
freight, saw the car reversed his engine,
making a remarkable stop, not, however,
until the trolley car was wrecked and the
motorman, Daniel Nolan, and four pass-
engers were injured..
Nolan was terribly braised and may

An Advonture „In 114 Bay.
The following adventure befell me in
the year 18--. 1 was stoma mate of the
brtg Nano' leo, of Guernsey, and. we had
just arrived in the bay at Rio de Janeiro
after a line run of 45 days front Cardiff.
You most know that at that time all ves-

lighters, When—as often happened in
those days—there were several hundred
sail all waiting to nave their cargoes dis-
charged, a good deal of delay was occasion-
ed, and it was no unusual thing • for a
craft to bane to lie for weeks until her
tarn came round. Since that eime large
quays have been built at Rio, and diseharg-
ing operations inc carried out much more
expeditiously. We had lain in the bay for
Several days after our arrival. The time
of yetw was Auguet and the broiling sun
directly overhead renderedwork on deck
extremely disagreeable. Many a time
in the iniddee of the day, when the heat
was oppressive, have I gone helow and
tried to obtain an hour or two's siesta.
But it was even worse below than cin deck,
and NVO were all heartily wishing ror the
time when, our cargo ashore and sailing
orders :received, our little bgg would be
scudding through the water with the
evind abeam and a flowing sheet. Despite
the captain's warning that the vicinity
was swarming with sharks, e number of
the crew determined one day to nave a
swim in the bay. Accordingly four of the
men stripped, and one after the other they
dived over the bow into the water. After

bathing was repeated daily,and every suc-

couraged such pranks as being highly
dangerous, but what could one say to the
poor fellows? They secnned so miserable
on board, and so happy evben engaged in
chasing each other in the water or show-
ing off their powers at this, that, or the
other aquatic) trick. At length one day the
heat had been more oppressive than usual.
I had bean watching those of our men
who were, frolicking in the water, and
could not resist the temptation to have
just one dive. The skipper and iirst mate
were asleep in their bunks, and I was in
charge of the brig. To throw off the flan-
nels which I wore was the work of a sec-
ond or two, and a curious sensation of de-
light went through me as I took a header
off the poop rail. When I came to the
surface I saw what looked. like a Norwegian
barque passing up the bay about 200 yards
off. One of the 0111'W 001110 to the side and
threw something overboard. The "some-
thing" was soon left astern, and I resolv-
ed, more out of curiosity than anything
else, to know what it was. Five minutes
swimming brought me within reach, and
I aught hold of the article, which proved
to be an old. tweed jacket.
"Tweed jackets," said I to myself, "are
worse than useless in this part of the
world; but if we're ordered round the Horn
it will come in handy,So here goes." And
with that 1 secured the jacket around me
and "put about," swimming lazily and
enjoying to the full the delidious feeling
of comfort and coolness. Thoughts of
sharks never entered my mind,and so you
may imagine my heron on seeing a huge
dorsal fin appear on the surface half -way
between me and the ship. My blood ran
cold. As yet the monster had not seen me,
and without knowing exactly what I 0.16.
I allowed myslf to sink Needless to say I
at once abandoned the bundle under my
arm. Fortunately, as it afterwards turned.
out, the jacket had not yet become thor-
oughly damp,and on my letting it go free,
it remained afloat. Once unhampered I
struck out wildly under water in the
direction of the brig. When my breath gavo
way I w as compelled to return to the sur-
face. There was the shark in the same
position, but I had hardly had time to in
hale a breath and again disappear; when
he turned over and made like a shot for the
jacket. Now was my chance. The brig
was more than 60 yards distant, and ris-
ing once more to the surface, I struck out
with all my might "If only he would
not see me," was my thought, and mem-
ories of shipmates killed and eaten by the
brutes crowding upon my brain gave
strength to any arms, and I swam as I
never swain before. I was only 20 yards
from the ship when I heard the water be-
ing ripped up behind me. It was now a
race between shark and man, and,had the
distance been greater, I would never have
lievd to toll the tale. Eagerly I scanned
the side of the ship, but no gangway was
to be seen, and with a sickening feeling I
remembered that it was hanging over the
starboard—the side, too, on which the
sailors were svenunting. Louder and loud-
.
er became the sounds behind me, and,
just as I caught hold of the bow chains—
the only available means of safety—the
shark stopped swimining and turned over
on his back. With a great effort I palled
myself up out of the water, and as I drag-
ged InYlegs up beneath me—snap, and
the teeth of the shark came in violent
contact with the anchor chain. At the
frightful sound I almost fainted. Recov.
ering myself, however, I hallooed loudly
for help, but it seemed long in coming.
Ultimately, guided by the sound of my
voice, two of the sailors looked over the
bows, and on taking in the situation, low-
ered a rope, which with some difficulty,
owing to nay precarious resting place, I
a cured under any arms. I was soon on
board the brig, where my story created the
greatest excitement. Fortunately the
swimmers had all returned to the ship a
few minutes before 114011108 were heard.
.4.11 day long the shark hovered around the
vessel, seemingly angry at being baulked
of bie prey. A. look round with the glass
in the direction of the spot where the
jacket had been abandoned by the mon-
ster revealed nothing, and we all began to
think that the shark had either swallowed
it or torn it to pieees and thereafter caught
sight of inc 10 the water. It only falls to
be added that there was no more swim-

When the wings only are used it is the

Jews are fond of fried fish, and they cook
it splendidly. Moses, however, had only ,
cooked his fish on one side, 'wben the fire
went out, so he angrily threw the half -

ecendants—all the fiatfish—have preserved;
to -day the peculiar appearance of their I
half -cooked anctestor, being white on one

docks carry those peculiar black "finger,
marks" near the head? Some tell us that ,
they are a naernento of the pressure of St.1
, Peter's lingers whea he went fishing for
the tribute money. On the 'Yorkshire coast
they say the devil once determined trail
build a bridge at Filey. His satanic ma-
jesty clid not start the bridge for the con -1
venience of the people, but for the destruc-•
I tion of ships, and sailors, and. the annoy -

' gress of the work Old Niok dropped his
hammer into the sea. Snatching at it 1.
hastily he caught a haddock, and all thel
haddocks carry the imprint of his black '
fingers to this day. Fishermen have queer;
customs. A few years ago the fishermen t
of Preston, Lancashire, used actually to go'
fishing on Sunday. it seems incredible;
but they did. A, clergyman of the town
used to preach against this Sabbath dese-
cration, and pray that they might catch.,
no fish. And they did not. But they
Sound out how to make his prayers of no'
avail. The fishermen used to make a little
effigy of the parson in rags, and put this
small "guy" up their chimneys. When'
his reverence was slowly smoked and con-
sumed the fish bit like anything. The
fishermen of the Isle of Man always feel
safe from storm and disaster if they have
a. dead wren on board. They have a tradi-
tion. that at one time an evil spirit always
haunted. the herring pack and was always
attended by storms. The spirit assumed
many forms. .A.5 last it took the shape of
O wren and flew away. If the fishermen
have a dead wren with them they are cer-
tain that all will be safe and snug. On:
the Norfolk coast they think that fleas
and fish come togther. An old fisherman
near Cromer was heard to say "Times is
that you might look in tny flannel shirt
and see scarce a flea and then there ain't,
but a very few herrings; but times there
are when my shirt's alive with 'em, and:
then there's sartine to be a sight o' fish.' '•
Flannel-shirted anglers, please note..
Shocking Itis to be compelled to state
that many fishing superstitions are un-
gallantly directed against the ladies. Over
against Ross thereis the island of Lewis,
sixty miles in length. In this isle there
Is but one fresh river. Fish abound there
in plenty, but only let a woman wade in,
th stream and not a salmon will be seen
there for at least twelve months. There
is a song about "Eliza's Tootsies," but
the i mortal lyric does not explain why
they should frighten the fish. I believe
the ladies deny the allegation in toto. In
the south of Ireland an angler proceeding
to fish declares he will have no luck if he
is asked where he is going to, if he sees a•
magpie, or "if he is so unfortunate as to
meet a moman."
She Was Afraid.
Madam Kirkholder's servant was get-
ting ready to go home for the night. It,
was about 9 o'clock In the evening. Just'
as her bonnet was on her head and her
hand on the door to depart, Madam Kirk—
holder noticed that her face was aglow
with grease—a liberal coat—from ear to
ear.
" Tut 1 tut! Katie!" remonstrated
Madam Kirkholder. "Wash your face be-
fore you go. You mustn't go home with.
such a looking face as that."
Katie muttered something, and, taking
off her bonnet, turned to the sink, as if ,
about to make the improvement suggest-
ed. It chanced that just as Katie was
again about to depart Madam Kirkholder
was amazed to find her countenance even,
more tremendous in grease than before. '
• "What on earth is the matter with your
face, Katie?" asked Madam K. "Why.
don't you wash away that grease?"
"1' se Ideated of dem yar night dootahs," I
said Katie, faintly.
"What's that?" queried Madam K. !
"The night doctors—what in the name of
goodness is a night doctor, and what have
they to do with you?"
I "Why de night doctahs don cotch ye,"
replied Katie, in a horrified whisper, "an'

Using Orange Feel. i

dings, custards and desserts under every
name from the orange, says a writer In
Wonaankind,the orange peel that atacumu-i
lates is wonderful and it seerns a pity to!
let it waste. Some soak and prepare it inj
a so called "aerated" peel and use it like;
citron in pies or cakes, but it is eager to '
grate off the yellow part and put this in al

way. A. word as to proportions—tor the:
skin of ten oranges carefully grated, a
quart of alcohol will be needed. Be very ,
careful that only the yellow part of the
gads grated off, as the inner skin Is worse'
than useless. I
