During the witchcraft time, the Eng-
lish burned about 20,000 womenwho were
.generally poor and retired females that
had nobody to aid or defend them. The
form of trial was simple and efficacious.
The victims were bound hand and foot,
and thrown. into deep water. If they
floated, they- were adjudged guilty of pos-
sessing "evil magical power," and were
takenout and. burned at tiles stake, "while
theneighbors did sing psalms.' if the ac-
cused sank and perished, they were de-
elared to be innocent, and "it was a great
pity that they were drowned."
The best society is that in which each
person both preserves and lives forth his
own individuality, while having it con-
tinually educated, stimulated, and cor-
rected by others. Itt this way public
opinion is steadily improved. Every one
- is thus a factor in its progress. Society
foolishly robs herself of the means of
eultuxe when she ostracises any one for
his independent thought. She throws
away just the influence she needs to ex-
pand her ideas and broaden her outlook.

they should be deeieu their rights under

ants eujoyed in Quebec).
Mr. MeNeill contended that the resolu-
tion seould go further, and condemn any
attempt to fore@ separate schools on Mani-
toba on the lines of the remedial order.
MaWallace said that the proposal of the
Dominion Government to see if some way
cannot be devised by their oo-operation
witlx the Legislature of Manitoba should
meet with the approbation of the mass of
tee people.
Mr. Weldon said the polloY of the Oppo-
sition now wa a pony of sileime.
then entered into a disouseion of the legal
points and interpretation, in whieh he
agreed in the main with Mr. McNeil. His
view was that there was no legal or moral
compulsion to restore Separate Schools in
Manitoba.
Mr. Masson contended for the right of
every man to civil and religious liberty,
wheal embraced the right of a parent to
have his children given a religious eduoae
tion itt the sthools towards the expense of
which he contributed.
Mr. Maelean protested against the Gov-
ernment declaring lay the remedial order
that coeroion, as applied to the province of
Manitoba and sin the matter of education,
was a part of the constitution of the coun-
try or of the policy of the Government.
Mr. Laurier stood on the ground laid
down by him in 1893, that there could be
no hesitation itt admitting that a minori-
ty in any province which had enjoyed a
system of Separate Soliools, and felt ag-
grieved by any subsequent legislation of
that province, had the right to appeal to
the Canadian Executive. Ile hoped they
would be spared the spectacle, which must
come if this question was to be settled in
parliament, of party lines being broken
and Protestant being arrayed against
Catholic.
On the ayes and nays being called for
only Mr. McCarthy and Mr. O'Brien
stood, up and the division was not taken.
The naotion was declared carried.
The Cattle Schedule.
Mr. Sproule enquired whether, in view
of the change of Government in England,
and the appointment of a new President
of the Board of Agriculture, it is the in-
tention of the Governmset to renew the
application for the removal of the schedule
against the importation of Canadian cattle
to that country without having them
slaughtered at the port of debarkation.
Mr. ()ulna -The correspondence al-
ready set on foot with the Imperial auth-
orities is not concluded, an anewer not

A grioniture. It is the intention to con-
tinue to press the claim of Canada in this
matter.
Publication of Bets.
Sir Charles II. Tupper,in Connnittee of
the Whole, proposed to anaend the clause
of the Criminal Code relating to betting
and betting houses by making it clear
that newspapers may publish all the re-
sults of races, etc., without canning within
the provisions of the code respecting
houses kept for that purpose.
The amendment was carried, and the
committee reported progress.
Branding of Cheese.
Mr. Montague moved the second reading
of the bill to amend the Dairy Products
Act. It had for its object the branding of
cbeese with the month of manufacture,
the idea being to prevent the lowering of
the reputation of Canadian products by
selling the making of one month as that
of another.
The opinion against this proposal was
strong enough to warrant the Agriculture
Committee in not reporting any particular
decision to the House.
Mr. McLennan said that out of 778 re-
plies to ciroulars sent out only 64 were
opposed to branding cheese. It was unfair
Prof. Robertson's opinion should prevail
against the opinion of the farmers and
cheesemen of the country.
Mr. Foster in moving that the debate
be adjourned said there was considerable
opposition to the bill in the country, and
that the best thing to do was to consider
it raore carefully and deal with it next ses-
sion probably.
The motion was carried.
B. C. Representation.
Mr. Prior, in Committee of Ways
and Means urged the importance of a rep-
resentative or British Columbia being
taken into the Cabinet, He thought rep-
resentatipn in the Cabinet should. go by
locality and not merit only.
Mr. Foster said the matter was one of
great delicacy.
The Government had aecognized the
claims of British Columiba in the estab-
lishment of the trans -Pacific line of
steamers.
Belgian Cattle Embargo.
Mr. Lachapelle asked if it was true that
the Belgian embargo on Canadian cattle
had been raised. Mr. Foster said the
Belgian Government would permit experi-
mental shipnaents of Canadian cattle dur-
ing October, November and December,
and would remove the embargo altogether
if no pleuro-pneurrionia was discoyered.

the seventh Parliament of Canada was

tbe Governor-General, after a session of
thirteen weeks and a half, during which
time the House actually sat sixty-five

A Sufferer for Year* Tells How She Ob-

for Those Sbullarly Afflicted.
From the Bownianville News.
The editor of the Notes, tn company
wlth M. Jury, of the well Yawn firm of
Stott & Jury, visited the home of Samuel
Wood, in the Township of Darlington,
for the purpose , of ascertaining the par -
Colliers of another of those remarkable
cures happily !smelt about by the use of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
It wits Airs. Wood who had thus been re-
leased from suffering, anci when the news -
miner man made known his mission she
al 1, "Ye, I can give you a bright testi-
mony in feed of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, for I believe that if they did not save
my life, they atall events released me from
untold misery. Sonne three year ages dys-
pepsia (Arne upon me in a severe form.
cioctored with one of the local doctors for
more than a tease, but all the time was
growing steedily worse. The medicine I
took oost ine a dollar a bottle, and the ex-
penditure was worse than useless for it did
me no geed. Then my husband thought
as 1 was growing worse,it would be better
to try something else,as they felt that un-
less a change soon Oallle I was doomed to
live through the terrors of a dyspeptic's
life. Sometimes I would be fairly doubled
up with pain and it seemed as if a knife
was cutting into me. I then tried a nuns-
ber,of medicines recommended for dyspep
sta, but none of them brought the hope tor
relief. We had so often read of the re-
markable ewes aohievedaby Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills that I determine to give them
a trial. I got a supply and before the
second box was gone I found myself get-
ting better. I continued the ure of the
pills until I had taken eleven boxes when
I was fully recovered. This was a couple
of years ago, and I have not now the least
sign of dyspepsia." Mrs. Wood further
said that her husband had been a victim
of kidney trouble for a long time and had
taken a great deal of medicine for its cure
but to no avail. When set was seen that
Pink Pills woredoing his wife so Inuoh
geed, Mr. Wood determined to try them,
and they acted like a charm as he is now
entirely free from his complaint, and he
attributed all to thesuse of Pink Pills and
would not be without them in the house.
Stott & Jury informed the News that
Pink Pills have an enormous sale. They
have handled Pink Pills for years and
say that they cannot recall a single instance
in which a customer came back and sad
they were not perfectly eatisaed with the
results. This is certainly a remarkable
record, but then Dr. Willams' Pink Pills
is a remarkable inedicineeand cures when
other medicines fail.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold only
in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark
and wrapper (printed in red ink),and may
be'had of all druggists or direct by mall of

WAS HIS OWN GRANDFATHER.
A Pennsylvania Man Tried to Vigure it Out
But Suicided.
The most interresting topic of discus-
sion in Titusville, Pa.., just at this time
Is the peculiarly sad circumstances sur-
roundiug the suicide of a man the other
night, who Was much mixed up in re-
lationship. He married& widow who had
a grown daughter. His father fell itt
love with the latter and inarried her,
whereupon the unfortunate man sat
down to figure out his relationship to
everybody else in the family and to him-
self. After pondering over it for days
and weeks he at last grew despondent
and one day gave it up and the ghost at
the sante time. After his death ti e fol-
lowing letter was found: "My father be-
came my son -in -la* and my step -daughter
my mother, because she was my father's
wife. Some time afterward my wife had
a son. Ho was my father's brother-in-law
and my uncle, for he was the brother of
my stepmother. My father's wife—that
is, my step-daughter—had also a son. He
was, of course, my brother, and in the
meantime my grand -child, for he was
the son of my daughter. My wife was
my grandmother, because she was my
mother's mother. I was my wife's hus-
band and grandchild at the same time.
And as the husband of a person's grand-
mother is his grandfather, I was mysown
grandfather."
They Told Stories.
Three women sat together the otber
day "capping stories." The stories con-
tained the tastes and appreciations of
other. people. Sgid the first women: " I
was in a picture -dealer's yesterday, when
a woman came in and said she wanted a
picture. 'Wbat kind of a picture, mad-
am asted the clerk. 'An etching,
painting, engraving petit& or — 'Oh, I
don't care what kind it is,' interrupted
the woman, 'just so it's a long picture.

shelves, and I want a picture that will

bor of ours who built a magnificent
house containing a magnificent room that
he was pleased to oall a library. This
'library' was shelved front floor to calling
and when the house was finished its
owner went to a bookseller and said: 'See
here, I'm going to give you the contract
to fill the shelves of my library with
books. I don't care what kind of books,
you mat in, just so's every' shelf is full
and so long as they have nice -looking
backs.'" Then the third woman told her
story. "It was at one of our club meet-
ings. One of the members whom I know
but slightly came to me and said: 'Oh,
Miss Blank, I've just finished such at
charming book! You ought to read it'
'What is its name?' I asked. 'Oh I don't
remember its name. Mrs. Blneatooking
told me about It; it's an awfully elever
book you keow. ' I asked the name of the
author. 'Oh 1 don't remember the au-
thor's name. Mrs. Bluestocking will
know. Oh, it's so well written 'asked
if it were a book of travel or of criticism,
philosophy or fietion? 'Oh, I really don't
know that I can tell you that. It's an

book, Mrs. Bluestocking can tell you all
about it.' "

DO NOT SIMMER
With Kidney Complaint—Yon Can Be
Relieved Within. Six Hours.
I take much pleasure itt stating that I
have been using South Americas:1. Kidney
Cure, and iound relief within six hours
after first dose taxen. I became sick in
January,1893, e hen I employed several of
the local physicians, and was treated by
them until the Fall of 1893 -without re-
ceiving much benefit. I then began using
South American Kidney Cure and have
found great benefit, and am almost, if not
quite, cured. I have not been taking
any of the medicine for seven weeks, and.
feel as well as ever.

medicine has hen its very soul of pro-

bodies have been elevated. So with most

illustration of which truth tands the
world-famous remedy to general debility
and. langour "Quinine Wins," and which,
when obtainable in its genuine strength,
is a miraculous creator of appetite, vital-
ity and stireulant, to the general fertility
of the system. Quinine Wine, and its
improvement, has, from the first discovery
of the great virtues of Quinine as a medi-
al agent, been one of the most thoroughly
discussed remedies ever offered to the
public. It is one of the great tonics arid
natural life-giving stimulants which the
medical profession have been compelled
to recognize and prescribe. Messrs.
Northrop & Lyman of Toronto, have given
to the preparation of their pure Quinine
Wine the great care due to their im-
portance, and the standard excellence
of the article which they offer to the pub-
lic comOs into the market purged ef all

scientific opinion has *pointed out in the
less perfect preparations of the past. All

A Turli isb Cave,
They heve a mammoth cave in Turkey
which take % all the brag out of Ketitneky.
It is near Selefkeh. And where is Selef-
keh? Well; it is near that part of the
Turkish coast which is just exactly north
of the Island of Cypress. One of the
natives went in with a party and roamed
around for five dais, and when he came
out he said lie had tramped fully twenty.
flee miles =WI he came to a large lake
with great cliffs rising up in it. Having
no boat. he had to turn back. Of course,
he was a Turk, atee perhaps we should be'
a little careful about accepting his idea of
dittance too literaly; still it is probable
that the exit of the cave is at Cape Lissa el
Kabeh, fifteen miles eastward of Selefkeh,
right on the sea, where the waves dash in
the mouth with a rush and a roar, which
has given the piece the name a "The
Roaring Holt." If one stands at the en-
tatnee at Selefkele he can hear a dull,
booming roar, which is ir, all probability
the waves at Cape Lisau el Ke.beh, rush-
ing into the Roaring Hol.—SL Louis
