Potently impotent is Wilfrid Laurier.
He cannot be asked to announce his
policy on the school question before the
Ministers promulgate theirs. Therein lies
the whole strength of the Liberals in so
far as this important question is concern-
ed. But, when the debate on the remedi-
al bill opens at Ottawa, the conditions
will change. Then Liberals and Conser-
vatives will be on the same footing, and
no longer will Mr. Laurier be able to
substitute word -painting for pollee'', and
generalities for outspoken avowals. In
using reticence now he is only availing

stand, more than he does the English. It

Manicenzie's Bowell's awakening may be
a rude one. It Is certain that the people
of Ontario feel deeply on this question.
The fact that the Liberals would be toler-
ably certain to give the Catholics of
blanItoba a measure of relief at least as
eet far-reaching as that awarded by the Cort-
i" servatives may keep loyal many Govern-
ment cotes. But that is not the way the
Grits argue. They assert and believe that
the electors will remember whet has been
done, and will not gaze into the future.

it. S. White's Resignation.
The Administration has been running
the full gamut of misfortune as far as
the opening of constituencies is csonceen-
ed. The seat for Cardwell is vacant; the
press of Canada is full of rumor and
speoulation as to the cause of R. S.
White's resignation. In 1888, when
'Thomas White, then Minister of the In-
terior, died, young Bob. White his son,
, was nominated and elected to succeed his
father. Thomas White lived in Montreal,
where he published the Gazette, the Con-
servative organ. Bob. White had put in
many years in the press gallery of parlia-
ment as correspondent for his father's
newspaper. The party managers decided
that he would make a strong candidate,
and he was placed in his father's seat.
There was not at the time entire unan-
imity amongst the Tories of the riding.
Some of them asserted that the Ulna had
arrived when a local man should have
the honor and the salary that attaches
to a legislative office. The influence of the
party managers prevailed. In 1891,1st the
Conservative nomination, the opposition
to Mr. White was renewed. Cardwell is
a hotbed of Orangeism, and the brethren
wanted to know what their member
would do if Sir John Macdonald brought
a bill to restore 'Separate schools in
Manitoba. This was very shortly after
the legislature of Manitoba had passed
, the Abolition bill, and the wboilicurftey
co
was canvassing the estion. .. ' as the
report that Macdonald would disallow
the bill. The stalwart Cobservatives of
Cardwell asked White veliat he would do
in tbe event of elapse disallowance or
remedial legislation. i Re answered that
he would oppose both or either. His
.constituents were satisfied isnd be retain-
ed the seat. .

the following day, the ex -Minister grant -

• The 'story, of cOurse, varies materi-
ally in the multitudinous traditions,
but the gist of it remains substantially
the same, namely, that the earth was
once visited by a great flood, in which
nearly every living thing was OW.-
whelmed and lust. . Thus in the Ko-
ran we read that Noah constructed the
ne
ark with diviassistance, and. was
railed at for his pains by the wicked.
al pralaya or destruction is the subjeet
of the first Purana or saered, poem,
whiell is found in the eighth book of
the Bliagavata. From this we learn
that the demon Hayagrivai, having
purloined the Vedas from Brahma
while he was reposing, the whole race
of man became corrupt, except the
seven Rishis and the sun -born monarch
Satyavrata. One day while the pious
prince was performing his ablutions in
u.
the river Critamaia, Vishnappeared
to him in the shape of a small fish and
thus spoke: "In seven days all crea-
tures who have offended me shall be
destroyed by a deluge ; but thou shalt
be secured in a capaciaas vessel mir-
aculausly formed, Take, therefore, all
kinds of medicinal herbs and esoulent
grain for food, and together with the
seven holy men, your respective wives,
and pairs of all animals, enter the ark
without fear; then shalt thou know
God face to face, and. all thy questtnns
shall be answered." Satyavrata aid as
he was commanded. and was saved, and
when the deluge had ceased, Vishnu
slew the demon and recovered the
Vedas. (See "A.siatie Researches," by
Sir W. Jones.)

Mathematicians have estimated the
cubic contents of the biblical ark to
have been 8,600,000 feet. If nine -tenths
of this space were devoted to fodder,
6,666 pairs could be stowed with 54
cubic feet for each pair. Sir Walter
Raleigh calculated stowage room "for
eighty-nine distinct species of beasts,
or, lest any should be omitted, for 100
different kinds, * * All the beasts
might be kept in one story or room of
the ark, in their several cabins, their
meat in a second, the birds and their
provisions ill a third, with space to
Sparc for Noah and his family and. all
their neeessaries." According to mod-
ern measurement, the ark was 525 feet
long, 87 feet wide awl 52 feet deep.
New Teeth in Old Age.
The dentists, the anatomists and
bone sharps in general tell us that
human. beings have but two sets of
teeth during lite—the "baby," or
"milk," teeth., which are all present by
the end of the third year, and the
second, or permanent, set, which re-
place the above some time between the
fifth and twelfth years. Durand says:
"There is not a single exception to this
rale, no authority making mention of
more than two sets of teeth during the
lifetime 'oE an individual." Prof.
P. Brown, in his "Structure of the
Teeth," concurs with. Durand in this
way, "There are but two sets of teeth
la the human subject—the temporary
and the permanent."
Notwithstanding the above asser-
tions, both of which come from reput-
able authors, we will suggest that there
is evidence to the contrary, Prof. A.
D. Flint says that "Mary Pursello of
Acton, 'England., cat an entire set of
new teeth at the age of 80 and Dean
Hamilton is atithority for the state-
ment that Rev. Samuel Croxall, the

Tea gowns afford a wide scope for the
expenditure of taste, not to mention
money, and are beyond everything dis-
tinctly feminine. The new woman --that
much maligned individual—may speak in
favor of bloomers and,indeed,of true mas-
culine attire. Tempt her with a dream of
a tea gown and she will yield gracefully.
The long, artistielines, the rustle,the frou-
frou that every well made tea gown pos-
sesses, is very captivating, and then it is.
always such a becoming garment.
There has yet been no handsome mate-
rial woven which would be too handsome,
in some'women's estimation, for the pur-
pose. Velvet, satin, larocade, etc., until it
is hard to decide -which is the most suit-
able of all. Old ball frowns, if of good.
material and not soiled, will often form a
background, as it were, on which a moth
wonderful tea gown can be made, while
the richest of crepes seems none too dainty
and smart.
We were rec.ently shown a model gown,
which will certainly be copied, of pale pink
silk erepon, made up with pink and white
striped material of the same kind, and,
yards and yards of antique Mechlin lace,
the back and narrow plait at the shoulders
broadened out into wide, flowing folds at
the hem, and was of the seine stripe. The
side pieces were tided to the figure but the
front hung loose, and on either side were
jabots of the lace, A collar of the lace fell
over the plait at the back and far down on
the sleeves.
The sleeves were really the crowning
point of the whole gown. They reached
from the shoulders to the hem of tbe gown,
and were slashed to show an inner tight-
fitting sleeve of the lace. A plush tea
gown is somewhat heavy, but is handsome,
and with white lace front is a very strik-
ing garment. An all white one of soft;
woalen goods, trimmecl with swans' clown
and lace and a collar of turquoise, was
very much the style last winter. and was
considered good form in one's own houso
at the tea hour.
In England tea gowns for the women,
no less than smoking jaukets for the men
are censidered indispensable, and after a
day in the open air it is such a rest to slip
off 0710'S heavy tweed gown and don
a loose tea gown just for a short time
before the dressing bell rings. Afternoon
tea tastes much better under these (dream -
stances, and the woman who invests in one
never regrets it, for it is certain to be be-
coming,sure to be comfortable, and, better
still, saves many and many a tinae a more
elaborate gowie.
