Take a vessel it pan or a bucket or anything that can be tied to a tree limb and will hold water. Fill it with water and then bend a twig about the circumference of an ordi- nary lead pencil into theewater. The liquid will be rapidly absorbed by the twig and in turn the water will enter the limb and soon permeate every part ot the tree. The problem of keepmg the vessels supplied with water is not a difficult one, for the season that a half gallon of water will do as much irrigating as many cubic inches under the present plan, the adherents of the scheme claim. The opinion of Mr. Goldwin Smith upon the present legislative crisis is interesting. He says:— 'Two things in reference to our Provincial crisis appear certain. The first is that a Government cannot be carried on with it majority of one in the House, in the face of an adverse majority in the electorate. The seccead is that a second appeal to the constituencies without a meeting of the Legislature is out of the question. Suppose the toss again comes down neither heads nor tails, as it very likely might, are we to toss a third time, and go on tossing until a, sufficient majority is attained? Besides, who is to deter. mine whether a majority of two, three or four is sufficient? The ob- vious and proper course surely is that there should, as soon as possible, be a meeting of the Legislature, at which a decisive vote would be taken. Then a, fresh appeal to the constituencies, if found necessary, would be in order." Children Cry for CA TO IA.
