Their speeches set the pretty town Qn the Georgian bay were not filled with interest to the aver- age Canadian. The addreeses at London 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 This .kindly old man who has done his party 'ninny a good turn in days gone by, has 'been superseded by younger and more complaisant men.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 gives Joseph Martin little catige for re- 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.

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.

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. She Wore Rationale.

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. The Return to Old-filn,glisla Elscpteesions 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.
