The House went lot° committee on
Mr. Masson's bill to incorporate the In-
ternational Radial Railway Company.

curred in.

She audacity to say the department had
taken in 300 or 400 Jews froin Chicago to
Manitoba, when thefact was that only
about thirty persons Were taken in.
The military College.
In committee of supply, on the item of
$70,000 for ties Royal Military College,
Mr. Denison sent he had hitherto sup-
ported the college, but unless the institu-
tion were properly managed, money ex-
pended on Ir would tie wasted. The pres-
ent incumbeut was on the retired list of
the British army before he tame out to
this country. The Restitution ,thould
have at its head a man who was in totielf
with the army at • the present day, anei
should not be a retired officer.
Sir James Grant spoke on the subject of
Imperial defence, towards ethich he said
Canada was contributing her fair share.
Mr. Hicko said that the only point that
, had struek him upon leoking into the
affairs of the college as really worthy of
investigation was the smallness of the
numbers attending the college. He had
been informed from a reliable source that
this was owing to (1) injudicious aclvers
tieing, (2) increase in fees, and (43) differ-
ence jn the meericulation course from
other institutions.
Sir Richard Cartwright :stated that the
Military College was not maintained at
anything like the high standard that
had formerly thitrecterized it.
Mr. Dertison's motion , was lost on a

Affecting Canada.
Sir Richard Cartwright dissented from
the views expressed by the Government in
' regard to the Freech treaty, and from the
idea thatt Canada was bound by the favor-
ed elation clause,
• Mr, Edgar contended that the treaty
was signed by Sir' Chas. Tupper con-
trary to the instructions of the Dominion
Government. ,
• Mr. Lauren said that when Parliament
made the treaty with France, it was evis
flett that it was to cixtend to France

Mr. Foster replied that the Controller

to see whether there was any well-founded
disability or not, and, if so, in what res
spect the Government (mule grant reasons

Mrs Outmet saiti the reason for not
bringing the treaty into force le 1893 was
because of the existence of doubts with
respect to the interpretation of some of
the clausele whieh doubts had not been
set at Test at the end of the session. In
1894 the bill Was introduced ana carried
without delay.
The third reading was declared carried
on division.
'rite Premier and the Senate.
On the motion to go into Committee
of supply, Sir Richard Cartwright drew at-
tention to a letter written by Sir Mao-
kenzie 13owe11 to Mr, McNeill, M. P, for
North&elect • ie which a denial was,
given to the runtor that the latter was.
to be apppointed to the Senate, and stat-
ing that the eacanoies had long since
been promised.
He moved "That the conduct of the
Government in allowing one-eighth part
of the total number of Senaterships pro-
vided for in the B. N. A. Act to remain
unfilled, is in the highest degree deroga-
tory to the dignity and usefulness of the
Senate, and is calculated to bring that
branch of the Legislature into contempt
The motion was lost on division by
ninety-five to fifty-five.
• Caniidlite sealers &ono.
Mr. Davies drew attention to the cir-
cumstances limier which Canaciian ships
were seized by Russian war vessels in
1892. It was alleged that these vessels
were seized on the high seas and confisca-
ted, the crews being taken to the nearest
Russian port, and treated with great
inhumanity. The Russian Government
declare themselves not indisposed to
• make reparation for the capture of the
vessels. What he desired to know was
whether the Dominion Government had
followed up the matter,with vigor.
Sir Charles H. Tupper said that the
Canadian Government's power was 111n.

would see that it was kept before the
British Govermeent • The Govermnent
had hoped 'that their argument would yet
prevail, and had used the strongest;
language In preeonting their case.
Indian Troubles.
Mr. Mulock called the attention of the
Minister of the Interim, to the trouble
among the Indians of the Northwest
Mr. Daly said that the Department had
received a telegram from the late assistant
commissioner on the Blackfoot reserve
stating that there was perfect quietness
reigning and no trouble.
• Mr. Mulock advised the adoption of a
cautious policy in reducing the Mounted
• Police, lest it should leacisto a feeling of
insecurity among the settlers.
Mr. Mills (Bothwell) criticised the expen-
diture for Indian wheels, and thought it
unwise that thesi should be under de-
nominational control.
Mr. Daly—They are under the control
of the department.
The item passed.
Hoard of Customs,
Mn Wallace introdu.eed a bill further
to amend chapter 32 of the Revised
Statutes. and Acts in amendment there-
of, which legalises sessions of the Board
of Customs without an .Assistant Com-
missioner.
The bill was read a first time.
silver Lead Smelting.)
Mr. Foster moved,the House into own-
mitte to consider the following proposed
resolution:
"That it is expedient to provide for the
payment of a stint not to exceed $150.000
in five years to encourage silver -lead
smelting in Canada, the payment for
each ton of ore smelted not to exceed
fitty cents."
The development of the Mining indus-
try would greatly increase the consump-
tion of agricultural produce. The sub-
sidy would begin on the passage of the
Act, and would extene for five years,
but progision would be made whereby
any smelter to have the advantage of the
bounty must commence operations by 1st
July, 1896.
The resolution was adopted.
Divorce eases.
On the motion for the second reading
of a bill for the relief of Julia Ethel
Chute .
Mr. Maclean (East York) . gave notice
that if be was in the House next session
he would introduce a bill conferring
jurisdiction on the *Exchequer Court to
deal with divorce cases on the same lines
and to the same extent as in the English
courts. ,
The motion was declared carried on
Fishing in make Erie.
Mr. Allen complained of the vexatious
and irksome character of the fishery regu-
lations with respect to fishing in Lake
Erie. American fishermen Were getting
vast advantage over Canadian fishermen.
The industry in the States contributed
materially to the wealth of the countty,
and should do the same in Ontario. ,
Mr. ild'Grregor said the Canadian fisher-
men on Lake Erie complained that the
American fishermen could fish all the
year round, while they were not pertnit-
ted to enjoy equal opportunities of tak-
ing fish. Sir Charles H. Tupper said!
"Canada for Canadians," but the Minis.
ter of Fisheries said: "Canadian fish for
Americans." No citizen of Russia was
treated by the Czar as unfairly as were
the Essex fishermen by the Government.
The House then went into Committee
of Snpply.

Dairy industry.
M. Davies, on the Hein of 125,000 for the
dairying branch oe the experimentalfarms,
madorsed the policy of the Government
in developing the industry.
Mr. Borden asked what the -Govern-
ment, proposed to do In regetcl to the
petitions received froze the fruitegrewers
of Nevis Scotia asking for the establish

aath A stylish -like maiden, whose beauty
was the Castilian type, sat on the doorstep

but she was not proud. Ber mother was
inside deolaring that she'd be dottgoneti to

out of his heel with his jack knife, and
growling that he'un was plum ripe, ready
to be gittin' to some place wiser' a man
With ambition mad hese two shirts a

The old yellow mule, who was weary efi
looking for grub where grub was not lean-
eti up against a corner of the sheet: end
raised his voice in lamentation, but the
Castilian beauty seemed to have beea
carved out of a hunk of Vermont marble.
Coulii nothing move her?
"Is that you'll, Sale"
• It was a gentle voice boat the other side
of the beatitiltd brash fence of the shack.
Its owner wee a young man of Apollo out-

meditative maiden like a snake bite, She

arose and shyly advanced to the spot 'on

The old mule brayed again, and the old

knock his head off if he didn't consider to
stop that 'ere infeenal yaevp, but the lov-

words—
"Sal, how netal do you love me?"
"Heaps."
"How inuch is heaps?"
"More'n a mewl kin draw."
"And I luv ye' heaps on heaps!"
He strained her to hie bosom. She was
awfully shy, but she liked it. Man -like,
he,would have been straining her yet had
he not suddenly recollected that there were
other fish to fry.
"So you'un is going out into the world

"You bet I are!" was his beret° reply,

"I will!' she firmly replied, as she look-

Then, as their eyes filled with tears, he
strained her to his breast once more.
Again the yellow mule eel, d out in
plaintive tones that his commissary de-

Again the old man came to the door in

His First Deposit,
When I go into a bank I get rattled. The
clerks rattle me ; the wickets rattle n:te ;
the sifht of the money rattle me : every-
thing ratt es me' I went to the wicket
marked "Accountant." The accountant
was a tall, cool man. The very sight, of
him rattled me. ,
"Can I see the manager?" I said, and
added, solemnly, "alone." I don't know
why I said "alone."
"Certainly," said the accountant, and
fetched him,
The malinger was a grave calm man. I
held my $56 clutched in a crumpled ball
in my pocket.
'Are you the manager?" I said.
"Yes," he replied.
"Can I see you?" I asked, "alone."
I didn't want to say "alone" again but
without it the thing seemed self-evident.
The manager looked at sne in some
alarm. He felt that I had an awful secret
to reveal.
"Come in here." he said, andled the
way to a private room. He bathed the key
In the lock.
"We are safe from interruption here,"
he said, "sit down."
We both sat down and looked at one an-
other. I found no voice to speak.
"You are one of Pinkerton's men,
presume" he said.
He had gathered from my mysterions
manner that I was a detective. I knew
what he was thinking, and it made nie
WOrSO.
"No,not from Pinkerton," I said seem-
ingly to imply that I came from a rival
agency. "To telt you the • truth," I went ,
on, as if I had been prompted to lie about
it, "I am not a detective at all. I have
come to open an account. I intend to keep
all my money in this bank." •
The manager looked relieved, but still
serious. He concluded now that I was
son of Baron Rothschild or it young
Gould.
"A large account, I suppose," he said.
"Fairly large, "• I whispered. ,' '1 propose
to deposit $56 now and 150 a month re-
gularly."
The manager got up and opened the
door. He called to the accountant.
"Mr. Montgomery," he said unkindly
loud, "this gentleman is opening an ac-
count; he will deposit $56. Good morn-
ing!"
I rose. A big Min door stood at the
side of the room.
"Good morning," I said, and stepped
into the safe.
"Come out," said the manager cooly,
and sbowed me the other way.
I *Went up to the accountant's wicket

sowed and reaped through the long, rich
year, dreaming over the eintegeng oolors
ot his meielows. As far back as he could
remember, his summers had passed In
the old place, and. here his father had
lived and wrought. His father 1 the
thought 05 513415 bigh lineage gilded the
eoy of his life with pride, For Jonathan
Morse had been a great man in his day,
it day too short—abes 1 At thirty this
gay young soulpter, with °niers thick
upon him, had left a colossal Washing-
ton half -finished in the clay wheu Abras
barn Lincoln called the North to arms.
And after he had helped to win the .four -
years' fight, ;Ince he had followed Sher-
man to the sea and led his battery dowo
Pennsylvania avenue in that stupendous
last review, he had gone baok to his
stadia and modeled another and it finer
Washington.
Only seven years—Eliot quailed a little
as he counted them—had been given to
his father after this in which to athieve
Ms faine—a fame which time, so destruc-
tive to other mid-century reputations in
arts, was magnifying day by day. "He
cannot be forgotten," thought Eliot, as
he walked homeward • over the dusky
fields; "he was a roan and a poet—which
of these medern mo 'eters has lived and
thought like that?"
And Eliot looked back over the ten
years whith had passed since that sudden
death. He was a boy of nineteen when
the change came. He took the farm and
tilled it for las mother and sister, since
time and money were lacking for the fur-
ther study of are And when his suother
died and his sister wedded, he married
his early love. It made him smile to re-
member how many city suitors—yes, and
wealthy ones—felt the gnawirig of old
pangs when he bore her away. But she
was happy in this modest home—this
simple life—he was sure of that. Happy
—yes—if only ---
But be smotbeeed a rising conscious -
mess of one flaw in her fate; tried to bury
it beyond the reach of thought, which
wag' always, nevertheless, vaguely aware
of the discomfort of it He could not bear
to feel that any defect in him made her
life imperfect. She had no wish for luxu-
ries, he knew that well enough though
a soft life was one of his dreams for her,
and the:sight of her cooking or sweeping
gave him keen twinges of self-reproach.
She was disappointed in him—had not he
felt the gradual change since the day
when she stakedall on her love and faith?
He was not living up to her desire.
The dull rose and violet of twilight
deepened unperceived about him. For an
hour life dragged its leaden senses, in-
stead of marching to the thrill of music.
If she would only speak out her grieve
;Ince, lie sighed—how much more keen is
silence!
He saw her busy in the kitchen as he
drew near the open door, and the line of
her•brow and hair brought back of it sud-
den the sharp suspense of his days of
wooing. He lifted her higeh up in his
great arms as though to make sure of
her, and tried to throw off his guilty
mood. Little Jonathan pattered back
and forth, making a great show of lielp-
ing his mother. until Eliot took him on
his knee and chattered softly with him
in a duet of musteal voices. A big,
gentle creature was this father, who had
not yet outgrown his childhood, and who
explored like a native the boy's wonder-
land of play. And while be wandered in
it to -night, his eyes stole with delight to
Laura and watched sensitively her quiet
ease and grace. He felt the rapture of her
love—was he wasting it?—ald craved
desperately her old proud faith.
When they had dined and finished the
evening work, when the boy was asleep
upstairs with a rag dog for his bed -fel-
low, Eliot took his wife out toward the
Shin, low moon. After walking long in
silence—
"You are not fit for work:" he said.
"You should—
" 'Sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam,
And feast upon strawerries"'
Bit SAW HER BUSY IN ME HITCHEIL
"My sentimental giant!" Laura inter-
rupted the classic rhyme. "You keow' I
don't care for that. You know .1 would
gladly work my hands to the bone if"—
Here it was, then, the speech which
would, be better than silence. Yet he
found himself writhing under it.
"Out with it, title girl," he urged her
to finish,
"I would starve, dear, if you would
only take up your raodeling. I would
die for that."
"Hush; I know," said Eliot, frighteri-
ed by her zeal.
She had felt it long ago. This strenu-
ous ambition, from the days who he
used to make soldiers with his father's
clay.
And he had always lagged behind, her
ardor apprehended it veguelyae the shadew
on his vision of the beauty of life. She
believed in his power, she was goading
him et to a great career, and he—with
every urgent tooth he felt less inolined to
hasten.
Some day—the Purpose lay deep abd
silett in his Soul—some day he would
take up his father's tools and light the
fires in that kiln he bad bOilt for expert
-
millets of his own, He was dreaming of
it all the time. Spasmodioally 1ie had
worked at it, astonishing those artistic
friends of his in town with bits of sculp-

He scarcely diseovered Laura's cough
ansi her increesing weakness before the
physicians plunged hint suddenly into
black terror.
He soraped and borrowed money and
took her South with the boy, and nursed
her through weeks of swiftly waning
strength.
Gradually the world faded from her
eyes, her will cast off its eager energy,
and the pew life eeemed to commence be-
fore the veil was drawn over the old. How
strange, how beautiful it was, that

huskily. "You—you forgive me?''
Be bowed over her with sweet, soft
words of protest.
"No matter," she said; "nothing mat-
ters. This is all."
And for hours they clasped eaoh other,
motionless.
A few days afterward she died. Eliot
Morse took the faded flower back home
and gave it to the earth. While the vis-
ion of her passing soul was still an ecstasy
within him, he lit the fires in his kiln
and took up his tools. It did not matter
—she was right; she had divined the
truth at last. All he might do was but a
bubble on the sea, a word in a whirling
gale. It did not matter, and so—he

What Elephants Like.
If there is imithitig in the world that an
elephant loves better than it peanut it is
an orange, arid if any boy who reads this
wishes, when he goes to the circus, to give -
the massive creature an especial treat, in
stead of paying five cents for a bag of pea-
nuts to put in the elphant's trunInlet him
purchase for the same money one good-
sized orange, and present that to the small -
eyed, fiat -eared monster. A number a
years ago, in a book which was called
"Leaves from the Life of a Special Corre-
spondent", Mn O'Shea, the author of the
book, gaveethe following description of an
adventure he had with a herd of elephants.
He said; "A young friend asked me once
to show him some elephants, and. I took
him along With me, ha-ving first borrowed
an apron filled with oranges. This he was
to carry while accompanying me in the
stable, but the moment we reached the
door the herd set ap Queh a trumpeting --
they aaci scented the fruit—that he drop-
ped. the apron and its contents, and scuttled
off like a scared. rabbit. There were eight
elephants, and when I ploked up the
oranges I found I had twenty five. I
walked deliberately along the line, giving

of the nartow stable I turned, and was

About One's underwear.
The idea that casting aside one's under.
-wear will make one cooler is most errone-
ous. The same number of garments
should he worn, but they should be of
lighter weight or of such age that they
have worn thin. Almost everybody --
every woman body—has had one dreadful
night, caused by wearing a new nigbt-
dress, starched to suit the laundress. Its
beauty was nothing to the wearer, an1 in
telling of her experience she is apt to say,
"I was warmer than if I had worn a fur
coat." And she was. So in preparing
for comfort in sulnmer time I would sug-
gest that even the most ancient of night-
dresses deserves consideration and a few
sympathetic stitches.
For the silk or woolen vest susbtitute
one ot cotton, and for the other garments
select a thin fabric or else wear those
that you put away at the beginning of
the cold season to save for the -warm days.
Wise women do not give away the old
underwear to the poor; they buy new for
them and keep the others for the time
when they wlil be needed. A button
here, a patch there, the lace mended, and
a careful darn vvbere it is needed will
make for you more comfortable under-
wear than the best lingere could furnish.
With the hairoloth or alpaca petticoat a
skirt of flannlette,reaching to the knees,
is to be commended, for, while it gives
