It was not in the House, but in its oor-
-ridors that the chief work for the nation
was done last week. The Buclgot debate
dragged wearily along. A bare quorum
listened to the speeches of their friends or
Opponents. Outside, in committee room
or in the lobby, there was arising a feeling The Government will be sustained nail

for any Administration with so many

be a good thing for the Consersativo

caucus of Friday. Some twenty Ontario
Conservatives hung nut the danger flag.
Early in the week they had gone over to
:Sir Maokenzio's private office. There
they met Sir Charles Tupper, Sir Donald
Smith and the Prime Minister. They told
this trio, with varying degrees of emphas-
is, that their party affiliations must be
:broken when the Remedial bill should
'come up for a second reading. Sir
Charles and his colleagues expressed
much regret. Further • than that they
oould say nothing. And, the oonferenue
concluded, the twenty dissentients told
their Conservative confreres that they
had arranged for a caucus to be held on
Friday morning.
Conservative Caucus.
The caucus was held. Dr. Roome, who
is the permanent chairman of such meet-
ings, was absent, Sir John Carling was
elected to preside in his stead. Sir Donald
,Stnith was present. The Ministers stayed
away, They had no wish to hamper
.discussion, and,though they wore invited
to be present, they declined the invitation.
'T'here were speeches delivered with inuoh
force and vigor by the anti -remedial
men, Dr. Weldon, one of the strongest
.opponents of remedial legislation, but al-
ways an earnest Conservative, proposed a
'plan by whioh the difficulties might be
bridged over. He suggested that Sir
Donald, Lariviere, tho French Conserva-
tive from Manitoba, and hhnself be
appointed a Committee of Conciliation to
interview the Government. With therm
they were to take twelve representative
:members of the Conservative party,whose
duty it would be to present to the mem-
bers of the Administration all the argu-
ments for and against remedial legisla-
tion. Dr. Weldon's suggestion was em-
bodied in a resolution. Sir Donald made
a speech in which he recounted his ex-
periences in Winnipeg. He told his hear-
ers how ho had interviewed Mr. Green-
way ; how Mr Greenvsny had respectfully
,ai.00linod to alter his programme,and how
the Provincial Premier had informed
him that the Legis.aturo of Manitoba
would be asked by the Government to
,pass a resolution endorsing the attitude
of the Administration. All of this was
old news. Sir Donald had something
new to give to the Caucus. It was his
o••pinion that, If the Ottawa Government
'bad approached Mr. Greenway in a con-
ciliatory spirit instead of issuing a
,dictatorial remedial order, the whole
-difficulty would have been settled long
.ago. Which was crying over spilt milk,
but which was none the less important.
Dr. Weldon's suggestion concerning the
appointment of a committee was carried.
Then arose a in nor that Sir Donald was
to become premier. It was incredible that
any sane man should believe the story.
but It obtained some credtnce. Sir twined—and recent information leads
Donald put a damper on it by denying one to believe that it will be permanent—
that he had ever heard the rumor and by we can have no British market for
:stating that he would not accept the posi-
tion if it were offered him. Sir Mackenzie
'.Rowell and Sir Charles Tamper chimed in
•with statements to the same effect. Sir
;Donald is a very old man; he is a director
-of the Canadian Pacific, and he is not
.an active politician. He passes only a
.small portion of the session in Ottawa.
At Massey. Hall.
Glorious in evening dress, Mr. Mc-
Carthy `net an audience of almost seven
thousand persons in Massey Hall, Toron-
to, Saturday, Feb. 22nd. The anti -
remedial legislation men had done all in
their power to have present as many par-
liamentarians as possible. Inviiations
were sent to every Ontario Conservative.
Few of them accepted. Dr. Sproule, Mao -
lean and Clarke Wallace were the only
Ontario Ministeriallsts on the platform,
Mulook and Fighting Joe Martin, the
author of the Manitoba School Act, repre-
sented the Liberals. In Toronto, the
head center of Protestantism and the
hntbod of c angoism, the audience went
wild ' over the denunciatory speeches of
the parliamentarians. When Dalton Mc-
Carthy raised his hand and shouted "The
Roman Catholic bishops are running the
country," there went up such a shout of
assent as must have made she ears of the
hierarchs in far away Quebec tingle a min.
Tho usual resolutions were passed t n I the
audience went home with heated feelings
against the bishops. But will they vote
for anti -Conservatives at the next eleo-
tion? Ma McCarthy expects to have three
suppporters from Toronto in the next
parlament. But the able Dalton always
was a very sanguine man. ,
Importance Discounted.
I think the importance of the Toronto
meeting is in danger of being exaggerated.
Nobody needed to be told that the people
of Toronto are opposed to remedial legis-
lation. Nobody needs to be told that
the people of the city of Quebec are in
favor of the measure. Who would attach
much im portanee to a meeting of
citizens of Quebec, called together to pro-
nounce in favor of giving the Roman
Catholics of Manitoba what they con•
eider to be their rights? The Quebec
meeting would be just as significant as
is the Toronto gathering.
Chilled Meat Trade.

Agriculture, Dr. Montague has given
close attention to the subjeot of increas-
ing the volume of' our export of beef,
mutton and poultry. 5o long as the
British embargo on our cattle is main -

Montague has made investigations into

A BOY'S APPEARANCE.
He Owes It to Himself to be Cleanly and
Neatly Dressed.
Ruth Ashmore, addressing herself to
"That Boy of Mine," in March Ladies'
Home Journal, writes that his personal
appearance "should be good. You owe
that to yourself. And whether it is at
the office or when you are out visiting
you should be a cioan,wholesome-looking
young man. Cleanliness doe' much to-
ward go•'liness, and a Olean body aids a
clean soul. It may not.be in your power
to possess a dress suit, but if you should
n ]t, don't borrow one and don't hire one. -
esrush up the best otothes you have,make
them immaculate, and then enjoy your-
self and forget your clothes. Your linen
can always be fresh and olean, and your
tie can be in good style and properly
knotted. Never wear a loud scarf and
never wear imitation jewelry. Gentlemen
select plain gold buttons, and simple gold
links, and scarf pins of the most modest
pattern. If you can afford dress clothes,
remember never to appear in them until
after dark. You may wear, as you like
best, either a lawn tie or a black satin
one, but the stiff little bow should be
looped by yourself and not bought ready=
made."

OMetals Held Responsible for Armenian
Outrages Decorated by tlie•InPeden t $tiler
for What He Terms "Good Services."'
The political outlook in the East be-
comes more dritioal and .complicated
every day. The Sultan • seems to be
defying the powers in bestowing decora-
tions for "good services," upon the Turk-
ish officials who are held responsible for
recent outrages in Armenia, the British
Mediterranean fleet near the Dardanelles

warships are said to be ready to assist
those of Great Britain in an emergency
and the division of the French fleet which
cruises in the Levant during the winter
will stare for those waters immediately,
a month earlier than usual.
Every indication points to the fact that
the affairs of Turkey are approaching a
crisis, and it difniflcant that only two
solutions of the difficulty are discussed
by the European press -the entire dis-
memberment of Turkey or the deposition
of the Sultan. The Powers are now
showing that they will no longer be hood-
winked by the Sultan's promises, which
ere never intended to be kept,
The final stage of he diplomatic pros,
sure was reached when Germany, Austria
and Italy, which had hitherto stood aloof,
joined the other powers in a menacing
note which has just been presented to
the Sultan, The next step will undoubt-
edly be a conference of the representatives
of the great Powers, which will discuss,
net merely the administration of Armen-
ia, but the fate of the Turkish empire.
Arbitration a Short Cut to Justice.
The traveller on the Riveria who
rambles over the picturesque promontory
of Monaco—that puny principality of
leas than six square miles, with a milit-
ary band of 350 musicians and a stand-
ing army of ninety men—is sttnck with
the ludicrousness of finding on its ram-
parts a lot of Spanish oannon of a past
age, bearing the insoription,.Ultima ratio
regum—"The last argument of kings."
To a man of reflection the sentiment
seems as antiquated as the brass on
whioh it ie engraved. Not that war is a
practical impossibility; even as we write
the world, seems to bo torn anew ,with
wars or rumors of wars. The impossibil-
ity lies rather In the revolt of the mind
against the' retrogression in civilization
which is implied by war, when there is
at hand so potent, so tried and so honor-
able a substitute as arbitration. With
this short out to justice in mind, it is in-
conceivable to a civilized manthat tato
laborious achievements of generations of
peace should be given to the torch in one
mad hour through the revival of the bar-
barous instincts„ of fighting. —The Cen-
tury (Editorial).
A Mian of Foresight.
Senator Kyle's secretary is a canny
Scot, Macfarlane by nano, who has a
dry sense of humor. Recently he injured
his thumb. and the matter became so
serious that he went to a surgeon. Ho
was told that he would have to undergo
an operation.
Macfarlane consented to stand the
operation. He was ready to have it per-
formed then and there. The physician
asked him whether he wished to take
chloroform or ether.
"Will it make me lose my senses?",
asked the Scotohman.
"I should say so" said the doctor
Macfarlane deliberately thrust hisehand
into his pocket and began to count his
change. -
"There's no hurry about the money,"
said the doctor; "you can count it out to
me after the opelation is performed,"
"But you said et, would mak-e me lose
my senses to take chloroform or ether,
didn't you?" asked Macfarlane.
"Certainly," said the doctor, "it will
make yon unconscious"
Then excuse me", said Macfarlane,
with a twinkle. "I'd rather count my
money now:"—Washington Post.

It has transpired that the dismissal of
Kiamil Pasha from the post of Grand
Vizier was due to bbe Sultan objeoting
to his policy of conciliation toward
Armenia. Kiamil Pasha left the Cabinet
council on Wednesday last before the con-
clusion of the meetiug,and the presidency
was than assumed by Hall Rifat. Upon
arriving at Me home, Kiamil Pasha was
taken ill, but on the following day,
Thursday, he was ordered to immediately',

than went to the ex -Grand Vizier's resi-
dence and strongly urged him to go on
board, threatening to remove him by.
force if he did not do so. Kiamil there-
upon sent messengers to the representa-
tives of the powers and otherwise proteet-
ed so strongly, that the Turkish'com-
mender of the steamer was afraid to
oarry out bis threat, and Kiamil kept to
his bed and did not start for Aleppo.
The, new 'Turkish Cabinet is being
most adversely criticised on all sides
here. It is regarded as'a retrograde body
of Ministers, and as likely to lead to the
most grave consequences.
Members of the Diplomatic Corps
who .were questioned regarding the
political situation expressed the belief
that affairs had now reached a point
where nothing remained but to call a
conference of the powers to decide upon
what was to be done to restore order in
the Turkish Empire.
It is understood that the British fleet
has been re -enforced by a number of bat-
tle -ships, and that it is intended to bring
it up in point of strength to the fighting
power of any combination of fleets whioh
can bo formed in the Mediterranean.
The British fleet, it ie also reported, will
shortly be re -enforced by several Italian
warships.
The news from tbe'provinoes is decided-
ly bad. Advices from Sivas tell of the
massacre and pillage of Armenian vil-
lages in that province.
Shakir Pasha bas gone to Khnouss In
order to arrest the Kurd movement there.
The news from Syria is alarming. A

other points, and everything tends to
confirm the statement that anaroby pre-

NOSES AND SMELLING.
Some physiologists assert that the efface
tory nerves are destitute of the power of
sensation, otherwise than to detect odors.
The membranes covering the interior of
the nostrils are of two kinds, the schneid-
erian, or lower, and the olfactory, or' up-
per,
The movements of the nose and the
muscles which cluster around it generally
impart a disagreeable expression to the
facer
The external of the nose in
pian is due to the arrangement :and form-
ation of the cartilages attached to the
nasal bones.
The Roman nose was so called Irene the
fact that it first came into prominence: as
a characteristic of the conquerors of the
world.
Most wild animals are Pond of perfume.
Lions. and tigers in emotivity take a special
delight in odors,, such as those of roses
and violets.
In many Greek portrait busts the nose
descends straight from the forehead, with-
out any intermediate cavity or mark of
division.
•Among the Mon golians,Ind'lens and Ne
groes, the internal cavities of the nose are
more largely developed than among the
Caucasians.
The Semitic nose is not, as generally
supposed, peculiar to Hebrews, The same
type of nose is possessed by several nations
of the Orient.
The nostrils of alt birds are located on.
the back of the bill, and in, most birds are
so protected by hairs or feathers as to be
almost invisible.
Only the three highest classes of animals
have what may properly be called a nose.
All the rest have simply a breathing and
smelling apparatus.
The lower part of the nose does not per-
ceive the sensatiou of smell ; the power of
perceiving odors resides in the upper part
of the nasal cavity,
Atilla, the Hun, had a nose much larger
than was common among his people. It
was, however, of the snub variety, the
nostrils opening directly forward.
The mole's sense of smell is very keen.
As he has no eyes worth mentioning, he
must depend on his nose to inform him of
the whereabouts of his prey..
It is a singular fact that dogs dislike
most odors that are disagreeable or offen-
sive to pian. The smell of ammonia, for
example will drive a dog almost wild.
"Nosology" is not, as some might sup-
pose, the science of noses. The term comes
from two Greek words and signifies the
scientific classification of diseases.
The tapir's snout is an extension of his
nose. This singular animal is regarded

should be preserved, and, as far as I
know, the Powers are of the same opin-

those generally regarded as among the
most restless Powers, to act together

peace of the world, and I am hopeful
that this unanimity of action may in
