Boyond tbe streets R was Mamma Strings of horses and ponies, witb an arroY of grooms and chauuters, touts. and eutpurses, caraped on every piece of level ground, tybile the steeper elopes and hillsides swarmed with traps more picturesque, if less use- ful. For these 'were the pitches a the stilt -walkers and funarcanilists, the iorrie-daneers and hobb-borses; in a ward, of an innumerable company of quacks, jugglers, poor atudents, toad pasteboard giants, collie together for the delectation of the gaenng Nor- ttl3DS, and all uuder the sway and au- thority of the Chevalier du Guet, hi whose honor two gibbet, oath bear- ing a ereepY corpse, rose on convene lent situations overlooking tbe fair. For brawlers and minor sinners apil- lory and a whipping -post stood bandy by tbe landward gate, and from time to time, waen a lusty vagrant or a banisomet werteb was dragged up for punishment, outvied in attraction all the professional shows. Of tbese, one that seemed as sue- essfel as any in catching and chain- ing the fancy of the shifting crowd consisted of three persons -a man, a boy, and an ape -who had chosen for their pitch a portionof the steep hill- side overhanging the road. High up in this they had driven horne an iron peg, and stretching a cord from this to the top •of a tree which stood on the further edge of the highway, had im.- provised a tight -rope at ones simple and effective. All day, as the chang- ing throng pessed to and fro below, the monkey and the boy might be seen twisting and tutrning and pos- turing on. this &nag eminence, while the man, fantastically dressed in an iron ea' a world, too big for aim, and e. baak and breast -piece which ill - matched his stained crimson jacket and taffety lereeehee, stood beating •a drum, at the foot a the tree, or now and again stepped forward to receive in a ladle the sous and eggs and com- fits that rewarded the show. He was a lea; middle-sized man, with squinting eyes and a arafty mouth. Unaided he might have made his living by cutting parses. But he had the wit to do by others what be could not do himself, and. the luck to have that in his company winch pleas- ed all eomees ; for while the clown gaz- gazed saucer -eyed on the -uncouth form and hideous grimaces of the ape, the thin cheeks and panting lips of the boy touched the hearts of their rale - tresses, and drew from them many a cake and fairing. Still, with a crowd change is eveirything ; and in the con- test of attractions, where there was hone a flying dragon and there a dancing bear, and in a plaoe apart the mystery at Joseph of Arimathaea a.nd the Seared Fig -tree was being perform- ed by a company that had played be- fore the king in Paris, -and when, be- sides all these raree-shows, a score of quac.ks and wizards and oollar-grain- news with lungs of brass, were adver- tieing themselves amid indescribable clanging ot trunis and sneaking of brampets, it was not to be expected that a boy and monkey could alwaye hold the first place. An hour before sunset the ladle began to come borne empty. Th,e orowd grew thin, Gargan - bean roano of laughter from the play- ersbooth drew off sorn,e who lingered. It seemed as if the trigs run of sue - cess was at an end ; and, that, for all the profit they were still likely. Co make, they might peak up and be off to bed. But 1Vfaste5 Crafty Eyes knew bet- ter. Before his popularity qpite flick- ered out he peodueed a folding stool. Setting it at the foot of the tree with a geand air, which of itself Was enough to Arre,st the waverers, he solemnly e,overned it with a red oloth. This done, he folded bis cams, looked very stern- ly two ways at ones, and raising his hands without glancing upwerd, oried, " Tenez I His excellency the Seigneur do Sault enill base the kindness to de- scends" ' PflJ WATIF.ItL0 0 1/UTO&L Ytter t:isulteNc7Foo. mitabilehatt t twa.

But a dozen women became believers at once, and despite the blare and flare of rival dragons and Moriscoes and the surrounding din and hubbub, the ladle came back full of deniers and SUM. The showman was counting his gains into his pouch, when a silver franc spun through the air and fell at his feet, and at the same time a harsh voice cried, -Here, you, sirrahl A word with you," , Master °ratty Eyes looked up, and doffing his cap humbly -for the voice was a voice of authority -event, crIngiag to the 'speaker.

Since the last meeting a the Leg- islature, Great Britain has been under the necessity of resisting by force of arms the eneroa.ehment of the South .Africast Republic upon her territorial rights and the liberties of 13ritish sub- jects in. the Transvaal. The issues in- volved, affecting as they did the in- tegrity of the Empire, 'appealed very strongly to the loyalty of the Canadian people. As the representatives of the province, I congratulate you. on the enthusiasm, manieested throughout the whole province in the enrolment of her sons fax Imperial service at the seat of war. No more striking proof could home been given of the loyalty and devotion of Canadians to their Sovereign and te the Empire to which we belong, a,nd lam confident that any proposed of my Government for contributing towares the support of the wives and families of our sol- diers now serving at the front, will receive favourable and -generous con- sideration. THE TIMBER QUESTION, I am pleased to be able to inform you that: the lumbering industry of the province is in a flourishing con- dition. . The legislation of 1898 re- quirieg ell pine' logs cut under license to, be raeautfactueed in Canada took effect firet in the season of 1898-9.
