The early reports of the debates o` our Parliament are very. condensed in ;comparison.with those of to -day, meet of the speeches being reported in the third person, and sometimes lgiving •not more than an outline or the lest of the• argument..

Commons employs eigit official reporters—six to report ithe speeches delivered in English, and .tyro for the French speeches. These 'form the'essential part of the Hansard staff, but_ besides these there are a number of typewriter-ope_ators and a couple of editors. A little below the long table that ,stands in the gangway or central aisle of tlse • House of. Commons, are two " mall square tables for 'the use of the ansarfi reporters. As soon as the pecker' is in the chair and opens a 53tting of the House, a Hansard repor- ter takes his seat at one of the two tables, note -book and fountain pen at Viand, ready to begin his work. In -all that assembly of talkers, noted 'for its waste of words, there is not a `tongue too fast for the nimble fingers and winged -pen of the Hansard re- pertor: Seemingly without effort, and naturally as breathing, the. reporter's Eying pen writes line after line, "and page after page of those peculiar 'h; strokes and dots, loops and hooks, which make up shorthand as it ap- pears to the eye of those ignorant of heart, but which to the expert re- present every sound uttered, and from which' can be reproduced every word Spoken. -: The work of reporting is taken in otation by the -six English reporters, each one's :"spell ;', or "talre",being'' teen :rtrinntes in duration. -A minute Or so. before the first man's time is ftp the second man enters the chant- er and takes his place at the second tsehall table, the man at work continu- ling his writing until by a signal from the new arriv 1 he knows that the Second man is ready to take up the bread of the speech and carry on the i= r port• without a break cr loss of a :tinggle word. The first. reporter then leaves the chamber, returning to the office of the Hansard staff, and sitting down he- m_ de his .typist, dictates to him from is shorthand notes the portion of the aepeech he has reported. As there are is;; -reporters, and as each is on duty in the chamber only ten minutes at a time, there is an interval of fifty min- ,sntes between each of his "takes"— "that is, he report; for ten minutes and then has two-thirds of an hour in which to, transcribe his notes.

Judge In Hebert Case. Is Known to the Bar as "Appeal -Proof." Judge Charbonneau, who gave the Hebert judgment yesterday. riaa had a career which has always kept biro more or, less in the limelight. He was born in :Montreal in 1853. and when ri young Man thought of stlxdye,. trig for the °hereh, but the lav Provw, oda stronger attraction. He contested Jacques Cartier at the Dominion elections of .1891, being d©- fe r+:i. Ile won the se' t, however, a` the bye -election. in 1895, and was o of those who ranged themselves e tint the r•eif:e'; a1` bill brought err he Sir Charles Tupper in connection with the 'Manitoba school question.. lie called the olrealer issued by Arch- bishop Langevin, urging on Roman Catholic voters.' Liberals or Conser- vatives alike, the ' necessity of+ sup- porting the Tupper measure, "a rag." In the general election of 1896, Mr, Charbonneau was defeated by Hon. F. D. Monk, and his attitude on the school question, no doubt, caused hts downfall., Mr. Charbonneau then devoted all his time to his legal work, and rose to be admittedly the ' ablest 1 French- Canadian lawyer of . his time. Iie 1903 he was elevated to the bench as a puisne judge, sitting at Richelieu. A year later he was transferred to the circuit of King's Bench. in. Montreal. He was one of the commission ap- pointed to investigate the charges of Henri Bourassa, against. Hon. Adelard Turgeon, who as Provincial Minis- ter of Crown Lands, eves accused of asking for a bribeto make a grant of land in the Abitibi country to a Bel- gian syndicate. Mr. Turgeon was found not to have asked for a bribe. More recently he became a national figure in connection with the action. taken by the Montreal City Council against those city officials belonging to the Emancipation Lodge of French Masons. An investigation was started by the council to find out whether the officials belonged to the lodge or not. and it had not proceeded very far when application was made to- Judge oJudge Charbonneau to stop the en- quiry. The injunction was granted, the judge calling the enquiry an. in- quisition. The injunction holds good to -day. Last year Judge Charbonneau ruled that all friars and members of the religious orders had to have the same qualifications to vote as other citizens, and as they take the pledge of poverty and resignation of all Property, his finding disenfranehised all the in- mates of, the monasteries in the Pro- vince of Quebec. This decision was probably the cause of the new Fran- chise Act introduced in the Quebec Legislature, giving teachers and clergymen the vote whether they have the regular qualifications or not. On account of the noteworthy fact that not one of his important judg- ments have ever been reversed by the Privy Council, though a number of them have been submitted to it, he bears the nickname ,around the Mont- real court house of "Appeal -proof Charbonneau," a pleasantry which, nevertheless, carries with it the sinter - est wishes of the whole Bar. Electric Farming. The raising of vegetables through the medium of electricity is the 'scheme which an English market gar- dener who arrived at the Windsor Station, Montreal, the other day, de- clares he is going to put into effect on a farm which he is on his way to take up on the Thames, near Chat- ham, Ont. A syndicate of Canadian gentlemen, he says, has bought a large tract of land and has sub -divided it into mar- ket garden farms of ten acres each. A eampaign has been going on in England to get market gardeners to take these farms, and is meeting with much success. The electrical system which this particular immigrant is going to put into operation is already producing splendid returns, he said, in the south of England and in France. Briefly, it is to heat the soil by means of underground wires. Wires, carrying electricity and generating heat, are laid under ground at a dis- tance of five feet apart and one foot underground. The heat thus diffused is carefully regulated, and its effect is to force an astonishing growth of vegetables and fruit. It is far more effective for forcing, he declared, than the glass house system, and invariab- ly enables garden truck to be produc- ed ready for the market from one to three weeks earlier than by any other means. The cost of the electric power is small, and in Ontario, in the regions ct,vered by the service of the Hydro- Electric Commission, it should be smaller than 111 most places.. Is This Annexation? There was big excitement in Van- couver and New Westminster the oth- er day over some rumors of the prob- ..ele result of the resurvey of the i„tereatioual boundary line.

Pekin, March 8.—The diplomatic representatives of the foreign• powers held a conference yesterday and cle- cided to continue the guards along the railway 'to Chinwangt-n, in spit; of the f ..t that the river is now open from Tientsin to the sea. Additional. soldiers will be necessary, as the ef- fect of the present gutted is only moral. The possibility is widely discussed of the Manchus taking over the city and proclaiming a monarchy again The Chinese papers print this sugges- tion, but as no Manchu leader has been forthcoming in the past six months it seems hardly probable that 0113 can be found now. The killing of many whose queues had been cut off, the attack on the 3.T.nking rlelet ates 't the first out- break and the desertion of Yuan Shi lea: by inns soldiers, all indicate the reactionary feeling. Furthermore, the Republican flags which for a time decorated every house in Pekin, by order of the police are now displayed only on the Government buildings, al- though the dragon flag has not re- appeared. A party from the British legation is returning to Pekin with the, body of Rev. F. G. Day, a missionary of the Church of England, who was killed Wednesday by mutinous soldiers near Paotingfu.

So many mothers are confronted by this question 'thee the following suit• gestions may satisfactorily miewer your child the next time she cenfrouls you withsuch a demand: 'l'ry making vegetable furniture.

Another way of usher, lentils is to make the shape of the do sired object by putting one grain,nexr to another and then filling in the out• line with the rest of the seeds. Another game growing out of this one may be played with a piece of string, not too heavy. First allow the: child to experiment with It and then suggest laying a circle.

It is claimed that the propel stroke and motions of the arms and legs are more readily acquired in this manner than in thewater, as is the more general way of teaching swami niers. The student is suspended by a wide belt from on overhead rail, while the feet are attached to a pair of ropes running over pulleys and adjustable to various requirements. The pupils Ihus suspended are then taught how to perform the movements of the breast stroke until the action becomes almost instinctive. The advantage in teachiug these movements in such a way is that the oupil is not distracted by the fear of a ducking. • Chewing Gum For Children. ,after all . the t e sarcastic comments on the chewing gum habit it is interest- ing to note in •n recen? issue of Amerism Medicine re good word in its fneor.

An excellent way of improving the neck in order to make it white and smooth and ready for the winter dance dress is to dip a cloth in boiling water and apply it to the skin as 'hot as can be borne for about three minutes in ore der toopen the pores. The process must be done at night. Then take a little almond oil and rub it well in, with an upward movement to the throat, and afterward rinse it ofG with warm milk and water in which a pinch of boracic acid powder or car- bonate of soda has been dissolved. Another method very similar may be used for the terms and hands, and is a useful treatment justbefore going" to a party. The arms and hands should first be rubbed with almond °oil, then with a little carbonateof soda and after- ward with almond soap. A. good rins- ing with warm water should follow, re dl and when the hands and arms a y rub them with a mixture of rosewater and almond oil, removing all traces of the grease. Dust them finally with a very pure powder. Many girls may like to try this treat- ment for whitening the neck, shoulders and arms. Sponge them with tepid soft water, wipe them thoroughly dry, with a warm, soft towel and then sponge them with a solution composed of equal parts of rosewater and glycerin. While the skin is still damp sa thick coating of powder should be applied with a puff and this should be left on until the last moment before dressing ,for 'ten evening entertainment. Then the powder should be rubbed—gently, but thoroughly—into the skin until it is white and the powder has disappeared. • Right Care of the Eyes. "The care of the eyes will keep away ' wrinkles," says a well known oculist. Perhaps this declaration founded on facts of a long period of observation and practice will cause women who continually abuse their eyes to con- sider the effects. "Carelessness in the use of the eye causes wrinkles," he repeats, "just as surely and as quickly as squinting, and in getting rid of wrinkles every- one knows that prevention is better than a cure. • Arrangement of light is one of the most important factors in the care of the eyes. If it is so placed that the object is not easily seen the muscles of the face will be contorted in an ef- fort to get the proper angle of vision, and the harm is done. Even more in- jurious is the habit of allowing light to directly strike the eye while the ob- ject studied,is in shadow. Reading on the train is a menace to a smooth skin under any circum- stances. Not -only are the facial mus- cles themselves drawn out 01 shape, but titre sight itself is strained by ef- forts to follow the lines of the print, and by shifting constantly With the motion of the train. For those. who travel a great deal the habit of deep thought or study en route is the best one possible to form. Kitchen Cosmetics. Wiping the hands in starch instead of using a towel is another kitchen dis- covery, ,while oatmealmakes a very acceptable soap when the hands are not greatly soiled. Some housewives make their own toilet soap, using a pure white soap as a foundation. It is melted in hot water, and when boiling a pinch each of borax and sachet and enough orris root to give a pleasant odor is added, then a handful of oatmeal• is stirred in and the mixture turned out into small molds to harden. A few drops of lemon juice added will aid to whiten the hands. When 2naking the soap use a small quantity for a ball to •rremdt-o stains too deep for the other cake. To a small amount of the melted soap stir in a teaspoonful of powdered pumice and let this hard- en before using. Latest In Perfume. The latest iuxury for the woman Who likes a faint suggestion of sweet- ness about all her belongings is the cake of perfume which nrny be tossed' among lingerie or enc+es without the trouble of sewing sachet powder up in cotton batting and silk pads, These' cakes of perfttlrre are put rip attractively, and when the perfume fails, as all perfumes do when exposed to the air, the surface of the Alice .nay be scratched and if new snrf;ii'e of sweetness exposed.

Jesus in the ri:"' way, but did ever any one come; Him in so strange a, way as this? have often wondered what the Ph sees and doctors thought of having th roof broken up over their heads, ye we cannot help laughing within us, n matter how they might scowl, for th. friends succeeded in getting him "Int the midst before Jesus" (Luke v, 19 In each of the three accounts it written that Jesus saw their faith, th faith of the four who brought him.. S in. Matt. viii, 10; xv, 28; John iv, 1 O it was the faith of another tha brought health to the servant, the daughter and the son. May the worth in Ps. xx, 4, 5, "Grant thee according� to thine own heart and fulfill all thy ' counsel, * * * all thy petitions,"1 strengthen some to lay hold upon Godl for others. In Matt. ix, 2, we have th.sl first "Be of good cheer" from the lip. of the Lord. See other four in -Mat ix, 22; xiv, 27; John xvi, 33; Acts xx-• 11. The four words are in the Greek just one word of six letters, but what a word, and from Him who alone able really . to cheer or comfort ua. Then hear what follows, "Thy sins a forgiven thee." This is wbat-the ma needed more than health for bis bod .t I heard it for my own soul in the sum i mer of 1873 from I John ii, 12, wit John 1, 12. Have you heard Him sail it to you? Lf not, why? There eatil be noreal comfort without it. Tits•• scribee and Pharisees began to reason in their hearts: "This man is a blas. phemer. Who can forgive sins but 1 Godonly? if they had thought,. >, "This must be God come down to; earth, for only God can forgive sins,' they would have been correct, but ter them He was only • a man, a man of the common people and a blasphemer. Knowing their`thoughts, He read them•` aloud to them, andwe might suppose' that this would have led them to sed' in Him more than a mere man, bur they were thoroughly blinded by the god of this world. Then, announcing - Himself as the Son of man having. power on earth to forgive sins, He, said to the sick man, "Arise and takeF;, up thy bed and go thy way into thlne?: house.'!' Immediately he did as he was bidden, and they were all amazed' and glorified God, saying, "We never' saw it in this fashion," "We have seen- strange eerstrange things today" (verse 12; Luke v, 26). We may imagine the font• friends rejoicing greatly and saying to others that is what we expected. Are we giving .the Lord cause to say toy, us, "0 ye of little faith," or, "Great IS thy faith, be it unto thee even as thou:' wilt." His calling Himself "Son of`. Man" might have led there to think' of Ps. vill and of one who was to• have alt things subdeted`'unto Him, or' of Dan. vii, 13, 14, and of one whose• dominion would be an everlasting: dominion never to be destroyed. If we have our sins forgiven we Will in, due time have perfect bodies like Hist' resurrection body (Phil. `20 21', soy` that we can well afford to rejoice whit in these mortal bodies, wheth. er11 in health or sickness, waiting for the resurrection body.
