were notuble in that something in the
way of an outline of the Government's
future policy on the school question was
'vouchsafed to the Ministerial 'supporters.
Is the Constitution to Maine ?
Da Montague It was who gave vent to
these weighty remarks. "If there is any
troilble .in respect of this questien,"
.said. the Secretary of State, "it is the
fault, not of the Clonservative party, but
,of the Constitution of Canada." Where -
,at the loyal auditors oheered enthuslas-
ticalty. But, was the Doctor entirely
Tight in his claim? The Liberalswill
say that he 'was very far from being so.
'They will acknowledge that the British
North Amerioa Act has provided that
sertain things •Shall be done in certain
sentingencies. "But," they will say,
"the British North Axnerica Act cannot
be held to serve as a shield for a time-
serving Administration. The men in
'power at Ottawa have clone everything in
the way of procrastination that they
could do. And now they full back °utile
.exouse that the Constitution is to blame."
Sir John CarlinF's Withdrawal.
There would be little profit or interest
in speculation as to the validity of this
,excuse. Gentlemen who have votes will
be swayed by their political opinions, not
by arguinent on the ease. The most no-
table feature of the Loudon meeting was,
not the statement of Dr. Moetague, but
the fact that Sir John Carling on that
:platform said farewell to politics. This
.kindly old man who has done his party
'ninny a good turn in days gone by, has
'been superseded by younger and more
complaisant men. The managers of the
party long desired his eviction from the
'position of an actfve Minister. ...end now
• he is to withdraw finally from polities.
In 1891 he was a senator, but he resigned
in order to return to the Commons
shamber. It is very probleniatical
whether the gentlemen of the Govern-
ment would consent to his being given
a senatorship now. The war horse is
worn out. Other men who may be de-
pended upon to inake their advancement
'valuable to the party, have been clamor-
ing for seats in the Bed Chamber. Their
,deniands are more insistent than Sir
johes. And they will win. Had Mac-
donald been alive the fine faced old man
from London would not have been sent
ampty away. The First Premier bad a
very kindly feeling for Carling. When
Sir John Macdonald lived in Toronto, in
the days that the Grits were in power,
Carling did him many a good turn. In
those times money was scarce with Mac-
donald. Be "needed coin," to use the
vernacular of to -day. And Carling saw
to it that the great Conservativo. never
lacked. By no means let it be under-
stood that the man from 'London in any
way doled out charity. Sir john Mac-
d onald would not have accented it.
What Carling did was tesend much legal
business for the deposed prime minister.
'".1:he belief was that the Pacific scandal
had been well grounded in that Sir John
.Macdonald had plenty of money. A
politician who is now an old man assures
me that the supposition was not founded
on facts. Macdonald, never a saving
man, went out of office a, poor man.
_Money was necessary to hiM and it was
Carling who sent many a Client to his
o fd.ce. And Macdonald did not forget.
He never suffered Carling's claims to be
aaassed over. Knighthood came after
3laoclonald's death, but it was Macdonald
'who obtained the honor for the member
f rom London.
And now the men who form the fifth
ministry of Canada have forgotten Sir
John Carling, what he has been and
what he has done. Their friends are of
to -day. They have many demands made
on them, and this quiet old man sits by
and says nothing. True, in his declin-
ing days his administrative strength left
him. But he has deserved. something
from his party. Five Ontario seats in
the Senate yawn vacant for occupants.
'Why shouid not the old man be given one
of these?
Joe Martin Safe for Winnipeg.
.Afar in Winnipeg the local Conserva-
tives have renewed their efforts to induce
liugh Sohn Macdonald to return to the
field of politics. The son of his father
IS the only man in Winnipeg who would
stand a ghost of a chance of beating
.Joseph Martin. He had seven sessimrs
in parlitunent, and he became heartily
sick of the whole thing. Four times he
w ent to Sir John Thompson, when that
good rnan was premier, and tendered his
resignation. air John declined to accept
at. The Goveretanent could, not afford
to open any seats at thaaime, and Hugh
John was bound to continue as xnenther
for Winnipeg. Finally, two years ago,
'he sent in his resignation with an in-
timation that it must be accepted. It was
accepted, and in the by-election, as all
men know, Joe Martin,' the Grit and the
father of the Manitoba School law, was
-elected. His opponent was Colin Camp-
bell, a good-natured, well-theaniug anct
.completely ineoinpotent gentleman. At
the time it Was hinted that the Ottawa
,Government had no special desiret8 have
a Government supporter elected. It ie
fact that not a single Minister went to
'Winnipeg to stump for the Government
nominee, 1VIr. Daly, even, remained
.away. It Would be presupposing too
much to assert that the presence of the
Mieister of the Interior would have made
any appreciable difference, 13ut his absence
.certainly gave color to the assertion that
the Government took no great interest in
the result.
Hugh John Macdonald has renevvea
his asseveration that wild horses shall
not drag hint into politics again. With
SteWart Tupper, the eldest son of Sir
'Charles, he has a 111C0ft GIVO law practice
in Winnipeg. "Why',' says he, "sheilld I
pay out Money—for that is What t then
have to do—for tho eaptylionor of sitting
in nitrite/mutt? I tried ib once. The galee
is not worth the candle." One Can fancy
that his indisposition tO tempt the cell

gret. The ex -Attorney General Of Mani-
soha knetve as Well as dOea anyone else
that in Winnipeg no titan hrtt Hugh. John
Maedonald can defeat bine
Tice Vacant Seat for Cardwell.
At last '9301a" White bas given to his
constituents a categorical explanation of
his aetion in resigning tile Seat for Card -
Well. There is nothing very startling in
the statemetat. Mr, White assures his
Supporters that his faith in the GoVern-
Inept, is unshaken In fact, the most im-
portant part of this looked -for manifes'
is Mr, 'White's veiled allusion to his
certainty of being appointed Colleetor of
ellStOITIS at Montreal. From what
have heard this week, I gather that Mr.
WhIte's continence is not unyvarranted.
The Prone)). Conservatives of Montreal
have been moving heaven and earth to
have one of their own nationality ap-
pointed to the post. Sir Mac-
kenele Howell, however, is convinced
that to pass over Mr. White's deluxe
would be to throw away the seat for
Caratvell. The Premier believes and is
warranted in trolleying, that darclwell
would go Grit or McCartbyite if the
Montreal position were given to anybody
but Mr, White. And it is because of this
fear on thepart of the Prime Minister
quite as mutat as on account of his oWn
claims, that It S. White will be given
this comfortable position.
Meanwhile the Grits of Cardwell have
hopes that they will be able to rectum
the seat. They count upon the undivided
support of the six hundred Irish Catholic
voters in the riding. It is hard for • the
unprejudiced onlooker to see just why
these electors should vote for the Liber-
als Mr. Laurier promises nothing in re-
spect of the school question. Re and the
Government are equally lacking in policy
on the case. Should a Libetal candidate
promise a sweeping remedial bill he will
be jeopardizing his party's chances in
English Canada. It is inconceivable
that the Grit managers will allow any
snob mistake to be inade. Our friend
Stubbs, the McCarthyite candidate, seems
to have a much better 'chance of election
than either young Mr. Willoughby, the
Toronto lawyer who is the Conservative
nominee, or whatever Liberal shaU
uphold the standard of Wilfrid Laurier.
Stubbs is a local man, and in the coming
elections the candidate Who dwells in
the constituency will enter the fray at an
advantage over the imported aspirant.
As bas been pointed out in this corres-
pondence before, the voters in the agri-
cultural districts have become tired of
sending Toronto lawyers to parliament.
The candidate of the Patrons will also
have an effect in this direction.
The Montreal District.
All is not unalloyed unanimity in the
Conservative camp of the Montreal dis-
trict. Two weeks ago Dr. R. Girouard
was nominated to contest Jacques Car-
tier, vacated by his father's advancement
to the Supreme Court Bench. At the
convention there was a strong anti.-
Girouard clique, the members of which
held that a stronger candidate could be
found. Mr. Girouard is in every way a
pleasant young man, but his opponents
assert that he is lacking in experience.
Now the nominee refuses to run unless
the candidature ts offered to him by a
unanimous vote. The men behind the
scenes are doing their best to bring about
an understanding, and at is probable that
they will be successful.
In Centre Montreal, also, thete is
trouble. At first it was proposect that
the Minister of 141arine and Fisheries
should be offered the nomination. The
plan was well conceived, but Mn Costi-
gan declined to aid his party mates. It
might be ell very well—we can imagine
bim reasoning thus ---for him so aseist the
party by his prestige as a Minister of the
Crown. But tbe 'chances of defeat would
be too many. Victoria, N. B., for which
riding he is the member, is a safe Con-
servative riding. The Caraquet railway
helped to make it so. Montreal Centre
sent Dr. Guerin, a Liberal, to the prov-
incial legislature the other day. And.
Montreal Centre is quite liable to send a
Liberal to Ottawa if the Conservative
candidate be not a strong man. Efforts
are being made to induce Sir William
Hingston to run. Sir William, though by
no means an active politician. is a strong
Conservative. He has plenty of money
and plenty of time. If the Conservatives
can secure him he would make a strong
candidate, the only one, perhaps, who
can be depended upon to defeat Hon.
James McShane.
Though the Conservative papers are
doing their best to prove that there is
something akin to disruption in the
ranks of the Liberals of the Montreal dis-
trict, there seems to be little reason f or
believing that the supporters of Mr.
Laurier have bad any serious falling out.
Truth to tell, these French politicians
are so erratic that no man knows what
they will do next. Honore Beaugrand,'
the editor of La Petrie, has been trying
to saddle Mr. Laurier with a reputation
for being a Radical. Mr. Beaugrand is
not a particularly ardent lover of Britith
connection. Se never ,has concealed bis
opinions. From him it was that Mercier
got the catchword of "A new Future on
the Banks of the St. Lawrence." In
1888 the cry stood the Count in good
stea,d.. Times have changed. Most men
in Quebec attach little importance to
anything that Mr. Beaugrand says or
does. He is theatrical and irresponsible.
Wilfrid Laurier is too far-seeing to allow
his followers to negotiate an alliance with
Beaugrand. And .T. Israel Tarte, who is
the chief Liberal lieutenant in Quebec,
has a feeling for Mr. Beaugrand that le
the opposite of affectionate. Probably,
If the truth were known, Mr. Beaugrand
is well satisfied with what he has walley-
ed. He is a notoxiity hunter. His name
has been in eaery Montrealer's mouth for
a week. What more could he want?
Canadian Sealers' Indemnity.
It can hardly be hoped that the visit to
Washington of Sir Mackenzie Bowell
and Sir Charles Ribbert Tupper will be
productive Of any tangible result in the
near future. After the close of the Bah -
ring Sea arbitration, it was MID 01.1l1O0d
that ,the • United States Administration
hest agreed to pair Canacliati sealers the
sum of .$405,000 as compensation for the
Illegal seizure of their ships. The Cana-
dians engaged ill the seal fishery were
well pleased with the arrangement, and
fingered the dollars in antleipation,
bitch arose. Congress declined to vote
the amount, and the money Was not paid
over. It was to stir up the Americans
that our Ministerwent to Washingten.
They have been reticent 'since their re-
turn, but it Is improbable that the money
will be voted at the coming session of
congress. A presidential election looms
up, and both'Reptiblieans and Democrats

THE SQUARES OF LONOON,
They Are ittettly Laid out in Dutch
latebion.
Some of the London squares are quaint
and charming, being mostly laid out in the
Dutch fashion. Golden, Square, near Re-
gent street, Red Lion and Queen squares,
in Bloomsbury, are capital specimens.
The first, though so close to Regent street,
might be a dozen limes away; there is a
wineome unkemptness; the grass is rank
and wild t there are old trees ranged around
its borders in a systematical way. The
houses round are picturesque, because each
is distinet. It is given OYOP to OOrnmi$sion
agents, merchants arid trade generally,
yet within but a few years it was a place
of genteel residence, like a usual square,
and we find the late Cardinal Wisexnan
living in a substantial mansion here.
Dickens, it will be remembered, placed
Ralph Niokleby's house here, which is de-
scribed on the occasion of the party to Sir
Frederick and Sir Mulberry as having al-
most palatial apartments and the richest
furniture. As we wander round we are
struck with the melancholy tone of the
inclosure yet everything seems brisk
enough; but it belongs to the old world.
The square itself Is very attractive and
original, with a sort of Duteh or foreign
air. we note the line trees which shelter
it ali around in symmetrical lines, and the
Roman warrior sort of statue in the center
arrayed in full armor, and representing
George II, The grass and walks are laid
out with a certain free -and -easy careless-
ness that is very acceptable and contrasts
with the trim, shaven, soulless treatment
of modern squares. Altogether a visit to
Golden square will interest.
Berkeley square everyone knows. Yet
it has an extraordinary sympathetic at-
traction from its grass and fine shading
old trees. No one, we may be sure, had
noted that these leafy patriarchs seem to
range in two rows down the middle, like
an avenue. The fact is it was the demesne
of the lawn in front of the old Berkeley
tense, which stood at the back of Devon-
shire house. The mansions round are very
fine and the iron vt ork, railings, etc., are
all admired and to be atimired. Thera
are some queer things to be told about
squares; for Instance that there was a Gen.
Strode, who had a mania for setting up
statues in squares at his own expense. We
have seen equestrian statues in Leicester
square propped tip with a broomstiok,
with portions broken away.—Gentleman's
Magazine.
Lodge -Boom Lighting.
It would hardly occur to one innocent
of the solemn rites of secret societies, that
thero was any partioular att in lighting a
lodge -room, but an expert on the subject
says it is a unique branch of the lighting
buisness. To begin with, there should, of
course, be plenty of light, bat a matter of
still greater importance is the manner in
whioh ibis distributed, and the flexibility
with which its various combinations ca,n
be handled. At times brilliant effeots are
desired; at other times total darkness is
called for, and all the gradations between
darkness and bright light must be easily
available. A typical lodge -room bas a
large central chandelier, with possibly ten
lights. At the platform at each end are
two standard uprights, of. say, three lights
each, or a chandeiier hanging from the
ceiling. At each side of the platform are
ordinarily portable desk lights, and extra
dark lantern reading lamps are distributed
along the sides of the hall for the use of
the officials who may be reading at the
different desks. All around the room aro
placed plugs which can be mad for port-
able lights for scenic effects, or connected
to fan meters or heating apparatus. By
this mean the room can be kept warm or
cool, according to the season. The fact that
lodge -room switches for turning the cur.
rent en and off are invariablrof the noise-
less "knife" pattern is thus explained by
a lodge -room wireman: "Knife switches
work silently and on that account should.
be used; for, after the most mighty puis-
sant royal chief has roasted a candidate
for three-quarters of an hour and flueny
arises to pronounce a sentence, it breaks in
on the solemnity of the acigtsion to hear
the 'whang' of a snap switch,"
Stabile g Co*S.
John Gould, of Ohio, is one of the best
known dairymen in the state, and when
he recommends a HIPO Of Salon it may
be adopted without fear of evil results.
On the'inuch-disoussed question of keep-
ing cows confined. he has been talking to
the readers of Hoard's Dairyman, and we
give below his conclusions: nI may
be pardoned if I take the space to say
that I never was so well satisiled with the
close stabling of cows, and no exercise,
as the present winter, the most severe in
Ohio in 80 years. While other dairies
near me have in the past three weeks of
zero and 14 degrees below weather shown
a great shrinkage of milk, my cows have
not dropped off five pounds in total
amount in any day, nor has there been
any increase of food in she time, and the
happiness and content seen in the stable
make me contented that I am on the
right side ef the question. The other day,
at an institute, a noted Jersey breeder
and cream producer, who in the past in-
sisted upon exorcise and spring water at
the brook, as tvvo essentials of good
winter dairying, confessed that the
present winter he had tried the plan of
not turning out, and the result was that
the cows had actually oaten less—he
weighs all food—given more milk, and
were in better condition at midwinter
than he was wont to have his cows, and
he was going to out more windows in
bis stables, let in more sunshine, and
use hes good feed in the future to make
more milk, and less 01 11 to warm all
outdoors, spring water and 'grow hair,'
as Aug Shultz, of Lake Mills once ex-
pressed it."
An Electric Fhb.
Among the fishes which are capable of
giving severe electrical shocks the torpedo,
or electric ray, a xnember of the skate
tribe, stands out prominently. This Esti
has a couple of complex batteries lodged
in the sides of its head parts and, the dis-
eharge of those organs is fraught with dire
effects to the animals which may chance
to come in the way of this living maga-
zine. The electricity Is generated by the
nervoua system; that is to say so unfelt

A,Nt OLD MAID.
She Rae Some Interesting Views About
Marriage, Ete.
WhyItiihsalirodultcloca wanostwaaenr,remwahingidgalle,o?
various reasons. As a general rule lie
two ladies remain single for exactly
the same reasons, with the exeeption
of those who are banded as the
"lEfaven't Been Asked Club."
Let us begin at the beginning and
take them (the reasons, not the maids)
all up in turn. First, some may have
been disappointed in love; second, a
woman may prefer a single blessedness ;
third, perhaps the right man has never
appeared ; fourth, a great many have
been discouraged by simply witnessing
married life; fifth and last, because no
member of the male sex bias been con-
siderate enough to pop the question.
We have said, some mity have been t
disappointed in. love. No doubt some
foolish young maiden had, as she sup-
posed, fallen desperately in love with
sorae equally foolish young man. He
dresses neatly, has a dear little mous-
tache' is well proportioned, tall and
broadshouldered, and, in not, is gen-
erally fine looking. She is not in love'
with him—far from It ! She admires'
him for th.e time being, that is all. If
she has read a few "society novels" she
imagines herself • in some heroine's
place and, if her beau has grown tired
of her, she thinks it wins the sympathy
of her friends to sigh every time his
name is mentioned and looks broken-
hearted when she hears he has been out
walking; with some other girl, etc.,. and
so on, just because the Countess So-
and-so did the same thing in our young
friend's favorite novel.
But then, on second thought, we find,
that this is not alivays the case. Very
often some true, affectionate heart is
broken by a man's indifference, and.
the pure, good woman that hail been
is turned into a perfect demon, or what
is almost as bad—a man-hater. Oan
weblaine her? No! A thousand times,
No I
The next queetioxi is—Why does al
tvottan prefer single blessedness?
Simply because ihe is free. Free to do '
as she pleases. It hardly seems pos-
sible that some women prefer to be
yoked to a man to love, honor a.nd
obey, when by saying "No," and stick-
ing to it, she might bfree, independ-
ent, and. her own mistress!
Why is it that woman is supposed to ,
obey man? No doubt man is stronger
physically than woman, but how often '
are his intellectual powers more fully I
developed? Very seldom. In his mar -1
riage vow he promises to love, cherish ,
and protect the woman he has chosen
for his wife. Perhaps, once in a while,
a model husband is found, but as one ,
can never tell what a man is tor 1
woman either, for that matter) I
without being 'his constant com-
panion for a month or two, it
is much safer not to risk it. For my I
part, I am glad that the fairer sex is ,
gradually becoming independent of '
men, and I have reason to believe that
a great many poor, unfortunate hus-
bands are learning what it is to obey,
instead of being obeyed.
Bravo, girls! Keep it right up and
we will conquer in the end, for the old.
maxim runs; "When a woman will
she will, you may depend upon it, but
when she won't she won't, and that's
an end of it."
As has been. stated, some ladies re-
main single because the right man has
never appeared, and after she has seen
the shady side of forty ye isn't likely
to appear either. Some sentimental
maidens, ranging from sixteen to sixty,
believe that to be happy with a man
both parties must fall in love at first
sight. Such a state of affairs is for-
tunately, very rare. We are learning
by degrees, that is, the majority of us,
that love is created gradually, and
very seldom springs into belt)... on such
short notice as some would' believe,
Without 'a doubt when our sentimental
friend meets the one destined to be-
come her "better -half" and falls in-
stantly in love with him, she will be-
come a married slave and live happily
ever after, but we doubt the happy
part of it, for love of this nature usu-
ally departs as suddenly as it appears.
Then again, perhaps, for some the
right one must posdess wealth. In
such a case I will keep my opinion to
myself. It generally depends upon his
age and whether he is old enough to
justify the risk of becoming an "old
man's darling."
No wonder a great many women
h.a,ve been discouraged by simply wit-
nessing married life After a year or
twomof married life what has become
of the fond and affectionate husbancl of
the honeymoon period; he has disap-
peared., no one knows where, and in his
place we find a lazy, conceited piece of ,
humanity caring for nothing but his
own comfort. Of course there are ex-
ceptions, but how often do we find a
young and beautiful woman looking
old and carewora long before her tirat,
because she 15 a drunkard's wife, or,
even worse, an unloved, wife.
For those ivho have not been asked,
I express my heartfelt sympathy. It
is sad, very sad, but girls, worse things
might happen ! Don't become sour,
hardened old maids because you have
reached ;por thirtieth, or even fortieth
year ancl no one has seen fit to pro-
pose.
Never give up all hopes. Some one
may ask you to share the trouble S and
laleasnres of life with him even yet.

CARCASS OF A DEAD HORSE.
Haircloth, Boots, Gloves, Combs, Glue
and Various Useful dada Made
From the Animal.
In these bicycle days, when a horse
is hardly worth the price of his oats,
and he is a better source of revenue
when. dead than he was when alive, it
may be intereeting to k.n ow what be-
comes of the carcass when. it goes to the
rendering works in Paris or in. Port-
land, (i)re. Not long ago the Portland
concern bought one round -up of Mon-
tana horses for 88 each. The canning
of horseflesh for European consumption
is yet in its infancy, and there is but
slight probability that it will ever be-
come a profitable industrY. As a mat-
ter of fact, the horse carcass is Mere
valuable for hie cliemical products than
he ever will be as an article of food.
Horses that have served. useful and
honorable careers for tweNty or thirty
years are fit only for the chemical pro-
cess. When the retired animal is drag-
ged in, it is first relieved. of its hair by
a shaving process. The tail ansi mane
are especially valuable, and from these
is made the haircloth of commerce.
The short hair taken from the hide is
used for stuffing pincushions and horse
collars, and. thus the dead are made to
minister to the comfort of the living.
The hide of the horse is quite valu-
able and the leather k-nownas cordovan
is made from the skin oier the rump.
This leather is used in the manufacture
of high-class hunting and wading
boots, and it can be made impervious
to water. The other leatler is soft and
is used mostly for slippers and heavy
driving gloves. The hoofs of the ani-
mal are removed and after being boiled
to extract the oil from them, the horny
substance is shipped to the manufac-
tories of combs and what are known as
Mikado goods.
Next the carcass is placed in a cylin-
der and cooked by steam at a pressure
of three atmospheres. This separates
the flesh from the bones. The leg
bones are very hard andwhite, and are
used for handles of pocket and table
cutlery. The ribs and head are blamed
to make bone -black after they have
been treatesi for the glue that is in
them. In. the calciningof filet° bones
thevapors arising are condens-
ed. and form the chief source of car-
bonate of ammonia, Which constitutes
the base of nearly all ammoniacal salts.
There is an animal oil yielded in the
cooking process which is a deadly
poison, and enters into the composition
of many insecticides and vermiftwes.
The bones to make glue are dissolv-
ed in muriatic acid., which takes the
phosphate of lime away; the soft ele-
ment retaining the shape of the bone is
dissolved in boiling Water, cast into
squares and dried on nets. The phos-
phate of lime, acted' upon by sulphuric
acid ansi caleined with carbon, pro-
duces phosphorus for lucifer matches.
The remaining flesh is distilled -to ob-
tain carbonate of ammonia. 'rho re-
sulting mass is pounded up with pot-
ash, and then mixed with old nails and
Iran of every description; the whole is
ealeined and yields little yellow crys-
ttals—prussiate of potash, with which
tissues are dyed a Prussian blue and
iron transformed into steel. It also
forms cyanide of potassium and
prussic acid, the 17WO IDOSb terrible
poisons known in chemistry.
In the course of a lawsuit in St.
Louis several years ago it was put in
evidence that the River Rendering
Company, whicill had the contract for
the removal of dead, animals from the
city streets, =las 8. clear profit of $24
on each horse eareass that they
handled.

1.10aern, ltistorians, whose style is
strong en the native side—men liko
Green and Provide, and Harrison—far-
nigh examples' oi the infittenee upon
personal dic,tion of delvings in the by-
gone life and language. A glance at
some modern poets may be taken, to
strengthen the impression ; mane man
eau fltlier head the list than William
Morris, whose verse is notable in this
matter of good old.English. I draw on
his great story -cycle, "The Earthly
Paradise," a stanza from "The Man
Born to be King"
"So long he rode he drew ant&
A mill upon the river's brim,
That seemed a goodly place to him;
For o'er the oily smooth mill -head
There hung the apples growing red,
And many an ancient apple tree
Within the orchard could he see,
While the smooth mill walls, ailite and black,
Shook to the great wheel's measured clack
And grumble of tbe gear within:
While o'er tbe roof that dullecj the din
The doves sat cooing half the day,
And round the halfaant stack of hay
The sparrows fluttered twittering.'
We have chosen this earlier unob-
trusive example of a happy use of the
native English elements in verse rather
than one from the later, more pro-
nouncedly archaic, and to .sons arti-
ficially Germanic, work of Morris,
though this richly illustrates the
principle.. This natural trouvere may
be called a pioneer of ths linguistic
renascence when it is remembered that
the chief Poem -group of his life dates
from 1868-70. Andwith him may pro-
perly be set Swhiburne; he too evbibite
in his verse, in his diction and metres
as well, the strong influence upon him
of the root -flavors of speech; though in
his case a softer, more voluptuous effect
is gained by the intermingling of
classic elements. This renascence of
English, then. Aleut but steady, for the
most part uneensational, but none the
less potent, is to be appreoiated to -day
and in the twentieth century- will be -
more apparent. And the very fact that
Ourleading writers wish to turn back
thus to native uses and things is, so far
as it goes, proof of the race's health, of
its solidarity and esprit de corps. We
may take comfort in it when confront-
ing an alarmist like Norden; for & gen-
eral degeneration of the speech would
follow any general degeneration of
literature; ancl the testimony of lan-
guage, just now, directs us to opposite
and more cheerful conclusions.—Octo-
ber Forum.
