The secret is seourely locked in the breast of one man, who is on this point at least an autocratic and sphynx-like as any oriental Sultan or Pasha. To- day all the signs may point to a dissolution of Parliament, to -mar- row they fade away, just as at sea the barometer may drop alarming- ly, ship's officers' faces grow grave and apprehensive, and everything movable is screwed down tight, but nothing happens. There was a cyclone, but the ship was either in its centre or on it outer rini.. The political conditions at present are cyclonic, but where the ship of state is only one man is supposed to know, and he will not tell. It is becoming evident that even he does not know, has not Made up his mind, and is watching oppor- tunity, which is not yet ripe. Mr. Cowan, of pssex, is of opinion that a January session will be held, pre- ceding election. The Ontario educational system has been of a high standard and has been widely copied by foreign b countries. The department of ed- ucation now proposes to introduce t a number of new rules and regultal b tions, which, it is thought, will s make the system nearly a perfect one. One of the most important additions added to the subjects of study of the public school,is nature study. This is surely a progres- sive move as what could be more interesting or more useful to a child than to study the objects seen in daily life. Carried.

Nudge Brady, for many years a popular city Judge in New York, could tell hundreds of legal stories, especially about Irish witnesses. "One day," said the Judge, "O'Rafferty was up before me for assaulting Patrick Murphy. "'Mr. O'Rafferty,' I said. 'now, why did you strike Mr. Murphy?' "'Because, your honor, Mnrphy would not give me a civil answer.' "'What was the civil question you asked hila?'
