Speaking to a representative of the

"I mean," she declared, "to get a
suffrage clause inserted in the Home.

a clause into the Parliament Bili. But.
Mr. Lloyd -George is such a tricky lit-

and if this will be the ease, we will
lose the protection granted in that
clause of the Parliament Bill.
"So it is of imperative importance
toafight him in: order to get a similar

Real Gold Bricks.
Genuine gold bricks were on sale at
a very low rate for a short time in
the vicinity of Golcondos, Haidara
bade, in India, where permission was
granted to a company to make bricks
from the refuse of some ancient gold
mines which had been abandoned
many; years: ago. After these brick:
had been on sale for some time their
bright' yellow color .attracted' the at-
tention of some investigator, who
found they were rich with gold. Im.
mediately the Government- seized the.
precious piles and revoked the privi-
lege whole had been given. Gold is
now being taken in paying quantities
from the ancient refuse piles.
MEMBERS' PASSES.
Canadian Parliamentarians Ride Free
on Railways.
• Members of Parliament in Canada
travel free of cost on the' railways of
the Dominion, and the words "mem-
bers of Parliament" include both
Senators and members of the House
of Commons; but there is this'
portant difference—while Senators•. are
given their' certificates of transporta-
tion upon their appointment, and re-
tain them for.,life, Or as long as they
are mentally rind peculiarly qualified,
the members of the' House of Com-
mons have to yield ` u i the:r .•eertifi-

he t.eonscionee permits: Thi
privilege is secured to the legislators
by an amendment made to the Rail
way Act in 1903, when it was provide
that all companies in receipt of sub
sidies from the Dominion shall furnish
free transportation on any of their
trains to members of the Senate and
House of Commons with their bag-
gage.

ficates which are issued by the Clerks
of the two I -louses of Pariienl:ant are
usually for a calendar year, but in a
year such a .s this, when there is a
general election and a complete over-
hauling of the personnel of the House
of Commons, there has to be a recall-
ing of the certificates issued to those
who are defeated and the issuance of
new certificates to their successors.
As the result of the general teleetions,
which took place in Canada on Sep-
tember 21 bast, there are 82 men who
were not in the last House, and who
had to be provided for in the matter
of railway passes.
Accordingly, just as soon as the re-
sult of the elections was made defi-
nite, the Clerk of the House of Com-
mons, through 11, P, l�Iaedoneil, clerk
of transportation, sent out notifica-
tions to the defeated members.. asking
them to return, their passes,' and to
the credit of Canadian legislators it
must be said that less - than half c
dozen •of them: had to be written to a
second time, although. the majority of:
;them understood that 'the passes were
good for the balance of the calendar
year, and did not realize that their
defeat at the polls carried with it the
lass of their privilege of free. travel.
As each sanoeled pass was returned,
it was replaced by another in the
name of the successful candidate, and
the railway companies were'notified
that certificate No. 0120, for instance,
had been replaced by certifioate' No.
0230. The result is that- if any defeat-
ed member of Parliament attempts to
travel upon his pass after the com-
pany has:. been notified, the conductor
takes the pass and Compels the ex-
1e�gislator to pay his fare like any - or-
dinary individual.
Previous to the passage of the free
pass law, the members of both Houses
were given an allowance of ten cents
a mile from their homes to the capital
and back again, and as most of them.
traveled upon passes anyway this
amounted to a substantial addition to
their indemnity.' But .now they ' are:
net , altogether bereft of .financial con-
solation. Those '•; who reside within a
ci. cle of 400 miles from. Ottawa get;.
their actual out-of-pocket e'pensea,
sue'a as hotel bills, meals on ears,,.

Scores of these songs are hi. exist-
ence, but they are not sung indiscrim-
inately. There is an appropriation
certain ones to certain tasks con-
nected with the working of a ship
which entail heaving o -r hauling. For
instance, one of the oldest and most
popular—
"As 1 was a -walking down Paradise

With my 'Ayes ;aye,, ble the man

would be -entirely out of peace when
the singers were engaged in heaving
up the anchor, the refrain ;being to-
tally unadapted to the long, slow
movement with which the turning of
a capstan is necessarily accomplished.
That the wb'Ms of many of the
chanties are meaningless ' detracts
nothing from their value. There .is a
swing and a rhythm about them that
makes listening delightful, and gives
them a highly practical ° value by caus-
ing the. men engaged to work in tufo

strength to the full advantage,,

traditional Iove of the fa/Moine sex

which he encourages himself when at
