Continues to give the Government the power to make exemptions from the operation of the Act passed last year to prevent the pollution of streams and rivers by dumping sawdust thereiu Sir Richard Cartwright YVanted to know when the Supplementary Estimates would be btoüght down, and was informed by the Finance Minister that they were now in the printers\u2019 hands and would likely be laid on the table to morrow.The Finance Minister then enquired if the Opposition was prepared to allow the debate on the Budget to go on from day to day.Hon.Wilfrid Lanrier replied that the Opposition would offer no objection to that arrangement after Friday next.Mr.Prior Wanted to know if the Government had received any answer to its request of the Imperial Government for an advance of $159,000 to be paid to Canadian sealers, the amount of the award t>f the Paris Tribunal, which the United States Government had refused to pay.Hon.John Gostigan, In reply, stated that no answer had yet been received.Before the order of the day was called, Hon.Mr.Foster asked permission to make several statements which had slipped his memory during the delivery of the Budget Speech on Friday.With reference to the question asked by Sir Richard Cartwright respecting the item in the Estimates for charges in eouneotion with the management of loans, he explained that Wheh the loan of 1892 was floated on The English maiket the Government accepted a lesser amount than the full issuing power in the prospectus.Subsequently the amount, $1,200,000 in bonds, was sold through the Canadian agents and the amount, 1100,000, which appeared in the Estimates, was to pay the cost of management in the disposal of these bonds, which were sold on the same terms as those in 1892.He also explained that in stating the liabilities of the country he had neglected to give several items of contingent liabilities in the shape of unearned steamship and railway subsidies.They were to the Kingston and Smith\u2019s Falls Railway, $250,680 ; to the Winnipeg and Hudson Bay Railway, the old s ibveution of $80,000 a year for twenty years for the carriage of mails and Government supplies, amounting in all to $1,600,-000, and to the fast Atlantic service $750,000 a year.These subsidies were not yet earned, he* explained, but nevertheless they were contingent liabill ties Which had escaped his memory on Fri 4ay.The subsidy of $750,000 a year to the fast Atlantic service was the only amount which would come out of the consolidated revenue fund, and the difference between that amount and the present yearly subvention to the Allan line of $120,000, which would cease as soon as the fast liue was established, would have to be made up by eco iromy in the public service.Sir Richard Cartwright wanted to know what the intentions of the Govcromeut were in connection with the proposed new subsidy or advance to the Hudson Bay Railway of $2,800,000, and was informed that he would have to wait a few days for information on that subject.Sir Richard Cartwright then began his speech on the Budget and was greeted upon rising by loud applause from the scattered few on the Opposition benches, who vainly endeavored to keep cool and eddure the op pressive atmosphere of the chamber.He began by characterising Hon.Mr.Foater\u2019i speech as a campaign oration and not a financial statement such as the Budget Speech ought to be.Instead of attempting to ex plain the largest deficit in the history of the country, with the exception of the North-West rebellion year, the Minister of Finance, he said, had indulged in garbled and misleading statements respecting deficits of twenty years ago.The plain purport of this shallow artifice, he sain, was to divert atteution from the desperate condiliou of the country\u2019s finances and the alarming growth of the coun try\u2019s liabilities.Dealing with Mon.Mr, Foster\u2019s charges against the Mackenzie Ad ministration, he said the Minister of Finance had amply demonstrated that the financial and oommerclal depression from 1875to 1879 was much more severe than the present de pression, and the logical inference was that the fiscal policy of the Mackenzie Administration was vaatly superior to the fiscal policy of the present Government.The re duction in exports during tho Mackenzie regime was 30 per cent, while the present reduction was only 10 per cent.The present deficit, had the reduction in exports been as large as it was then, instead of being $4.500, 000 would he $14,800,000.The fact that out of the present revenue of the country, $37,-000,000, about $27,000.000 were required an nually for fixed charges which it was outside the power cf the Government to reduce, was due, he claimed, to the maladministration of the Conservative Government.He dwelt at considerable length upon the financial condi tion of the country and wound up by declaring that so sure as the Finance Minister placed his calculations for revenue upon a course of fortuitous circumstances, so sure would he be disappointed.He brought to his aid voluminous statistics to show that the Conservative Administrations since 1878 had taxed the country to the extent of $40,000,000 a year, and ridiculed the exultation with which the Finance Minister had announced a few sessions ago that of this amount $4,000,000 would be removed.He had failed to detect any exultation in the remarks of the Minister when, on Friday, he informed the country that it was necessary to replace the larger amouut of this remitted tax again.The only result of the fiscal policy of the Conservative Administration since 1878, he declared, had been an immense injrease in the public, pri vate and railway daht of the country and a displacement of wealth.There had been no real prosperity, he said, only the massing of enormous wealth in the hands of a favored few.Not one of the promises made in 1878, he said, had been kept.A thousand millions of taxes wrung from the people had been squandered, 2,000,000 native born Canadians had been forced to leave the country, and the vast public domain iu the North-West, the proceeds from the sale of which were to pay the entire cost of the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, had been given away and the Government had not on hand enough money derived from sales of land to pay tho cost of survey.Turning to tho census returns, he claimed that ihe increase of population in the ol 1er Provinces, after deducting emigration increases, was just one-half ns great as the increase in England and Wales.The returns as to industrial establishments, he claimed, were ridiculously inaccurate, and he took several instances, giving the number of industrial establishments in certain districts ami the total amount of w ages paid, and divided that amount by the total number of employees, showing that if the returns were accurate, the average wage paid amounted in many instances to from twenty cents to twenty-four ceuts a day.The iron duties, he said, were iniquitous from tho standpoint of a protectionist even, for whereas the cotton and woolen manufacturers were allowed to inipirt raw material free, the iron manufacturer had to\tpay duty on\this raw material.\tHo poked fun at the free Hat, which he characterized as fictitious and of little benefit to the manufacturers theinsi-lves.He dealt ut length with the lrude ipicstion ami claimed that the increase in the trade of the country was largely due to the unhealthy state of affairs which xisted and was likely to bo transitory n its nature.He won id up by justifying the Ii-imI policy of the Mackenzie Ailniinis-ration* and declaring that it Canada was l > have immediate relief from the depression now existing, she must either obtain access to the maiketa of the United States or sh ikc off inde restrictions and work out her dcs-tioy along the Hues of a tariff for retenu' to the sum of 938.ol/,152 Hide-of any further Supplementary which may be brought down.ie said sum of $38,517,152 is in ex- only.He then moved the following amend ment That the Estimates for the fiscal^ year 1894 5 amount to the sum of $38,51/,152 inde peudently of Estimates \\ That the »- - - - - cess of the amount expended in 1893 4 by the sum of $922,127.That the deficit for the year 1893-4 amount-êà to $1 210.31».That the deficit for the present year is estimated ty the Minister of Finance at $4,503,-000.That from statements made by a Minister of the Crown in this House, it appears that oar existilig obligations for railway subsidies and for public works now in progress will involve a further outlay of $20,000,000, computed as follows For railway subsidies now voted, $8,720,000 ; for the St.Lawrenc3 Canals, §6,000,000; for the Trent Valley Canals, $5,000,000 ; for Intercolonial Railway and minor works.$1,-000,000.Total $20,729,000.The interest on which sum, together w ith the subsidy provided by Statute tobe-paid on account of a fast Atlantic service, will entailan addition to our already very heavy annual fixed charges of $1,400,000.That inasmuch as enormous sums of money are exacted from the people of Canada which ftre not paid Into the treasury, and inasmuch as the burthens of the people are thereby greater and unnecessarily increased, and it is of the utmost importance to the well-being of the community that not only should the present extravagant expenditure be diminished but that the said burthens should he reduced as largely and speedily as pissible, it Is expedient that in making provision to restore the equilibrium between revenue and expenditure* as recommended in the Mpeeclt from the Throne, the existing tariff be so modified that it may be made a tariff for revenue only.It being six o\u2019clock the Speaker left the chai»-* AyffcR Rkt;ES$.Hon.Mr.Hagg&rt congratulated the Opposition on having at last made up their minds to a policy, that of a revenue tariff, though he had little doubt that it would soon occupy the graveyard where lie the deid Grit policies of unrestricted reciprocity and commer cial union.(Cheers.) Sir Richard Cart wright refused to accept the savings banks\u2019 deposits as evidence of the prosperity of the people, but they were acoepted as satisfactory testimony by Sir \\Villiam Harcourt, as Chancellor of the Exchequer in the British House of Commons.Hon.Mr.Haggart con troverted Sir Richard Cartwright\u2019s attack on the genuiuess of the census returns, and pointed out that the principal increases were not in the small industries to which Sir Richard had referred, but in those with capi tal of over $10,000 as an evidence of the pros perity of the Dominion.Hoi.Mr.Hagg&rt said that the value of farm property in Un tario had increased by over $95,000,000, and quoted as his authority the statistician of Sir Oliver Mowat, Mr.Blue.Sir Richard Cartwright\u2014He is much like your own statistician (Oh ! oh !) Hon MrHaggart\u20141 suppose we must accept the statemeuts of the hon.gentleman before all other authorities.What right have we to reject all the official statistics and take his ipse dixit as to tho state of the country Ï What means has he of knowing the actual condition of affairs?(Cheers ) Hon.Mr.Haggart then quoted statistics of railway mileage and earnings as proof of the advances made under the National Poliey.Sir Richard\u2019s prophesy that there would have to be heavy capital expenditure on the Inter colonial on account of the deterioration of the road, was entirely without foundation.Tbs road was in first-class conditiou, and although last year a reduction was effected on maintenance of $60,000, he had come out on the right side of the balance sheet with a small surplus.(Cheers).He did not kuow where Sir Richard, who laughed at Mulhall, sneered at Johnston and repudiated Blue, got his statistics, but his statement that we owed billiou dollars to foreign investors and paid thirty million dollars a year in interest, was one that coould only be treated with derision.Sir Richard\u2014Very well, but meanwhile consult the member for Cardwell.Continuing, Hon.Mr.Haggart chaffed Sir Richard about his connection with the Patrons and said he understood Sir Richard was proposed for membership in one of the Lodges and was rejected.(Laughter.) Hon.Mr.Haggart thon dealt exhaustively with the chief items of expenditure under the National Policy and asked which of them did the Opposition object, which of them could the Liberals reduce if they got into power.Let the Opposition members state clearly how they proposed to cut down expenditure and how they oroposed to raise the revenue.How was it possible that they should reduce taxation in face of their promise to increase the Provincial subsidies, and the promises of public works made by Mr.Laurier and Mr.Gibson in British Columbia and the North West?Hon.Mr.Haggatt then explained the English system of taxation and said it was absurd to talk of applying it to Canada.The Customs duties in England weighed more heavily on the poor than on the rich, and if the Canadian people understood it they would have none of it.Protection was absolutely necessary to this country and the idea of \u201cfree trade as it is in England\u201d was perfectly ridiculous.In answer to the argument that protection made things dearer, Hon.Mr.Haggart pointed out that cotton and leather goods were manufactured as cheaply in Canada as in any country in the world, and g&ve the iron industry in the United States as an instance of tho success of protection.The removal of protection would crush >very Canadian industry and leave tkii «purely agricultural country.If the Liberal] ever got into power they would not venture to carry their promises into effect.If they did they would not remain in power a week.But there Was no danger of any such oilamity happening, because he was confident that the people were firm in their alherence to the National Policy.(Great cheering.) The debate was continued by Mr.Paterson (Brant.) Hon.A.R.Dickey moved the adjournment of the debate and the House aljourued at 11.10 o\u2019clock.Restlessness In the Domain of Sex.In America, as in England, and in the other colonies of England\u2014all of which seem to be attacked at once by a sort of disease which might be scientifically labelled gymemania\u2014the restlessness of the age has extended to the domain of se*.Some women are longing to break through the established limitations of womanhood, while they show an inclination to disparage what have hither to been considered at once tho natural duties and glories of woman.They are now seeking to grasp political power, which iu their hands would be divorced from responsibility, since the burden and duty of upholding and safeguarding the State must ever remain where Nature has put them\u2014in the man.As yet, only two far Western States have adopted woman suffrage in its full political form.It has suffered some defeats in other quarters, and was rejected hy the Constitutional Convention of New York.On that occasion the opposition to it included large and distinguished body of women, who thought that they forsaw the ultimate con sequences to their sex of an at tempt to remove the landmarks of nature.But this is an age of feeble and precipitate abdication, when the holders of authority, instead of considering how it may be better used, surrender it upon tho first challenge.There is no saying what the bosses of the party may do as soon as they see, or faucy that they see, the shadow of a coming female vote, though the consequence might be the swamping of their organizations.The press also may fear, by opposing the demand of the suffragists, to risk the loss of female ptlronage.When the full tide of female emotion shall bo added to the political vortex, when women shall have become political, when the female demagogue «with her platform shall he fully developed, the final trial of popular government will be near.\u2014 From \u201cOur Situation Viewed From Without,\" by Professor Goldwiu Smith, in North American Review for May.No Causa For Alarm.Anxious Mother\u2014\u201cI\u2019m afraid, doctor, that poor Willie has g >t his death.He ate too many hard boiled eggs yesterday\u2014\u201d Doctor\u2014\u201cAhem?How\u2014ah\u2014many did he eat, mam ?\u201d \u2018Oh, he says half a dozen, but I fear the dear child U deceivin\u2019 me\u2014\u201d Willie (from pillow) -I\u2014et\u2014tA\u2019o\u2014dozen \u2014hen alga \u2019u \u2014 \u201d Mother\u2014\u201cMercy on us!

GeotgC and the Indian orders the Thistle is strictly limited to Scottish peets\u2014no cXUa, honorary or foreign knights being admitted, except the sovereign ex-officio ami princes cf the Royal family.sixteen knights.The number of knights was originally eight and afterward twelve ; iu 1827 it was raised to sixteen, a toU! at which it now-stands, irrespective of the five princes, who are regarded as supernumeraries.Even a chancellor, for w hom provision was made, has never been appointed, owing mainly, it is believed, to the reluctance of the sixteen to enlarge their chapter.By an unwritten law it is generally understood that if a peer is a K.T.he will u^t be made a K.O., the honors being of equal rank ; the Only violation of this custom in recent times being w-hen the Duke of Argyll received both ribbons.It may, nevertheless, be noticed that when a Scottish noble is offered the English order he is not deterred from accepting it by a fear that he may thereby disqualify himself for the more national distinction.At all events, the Premier does not appear to have been any more than Lord Breadalbane subject to such patriotic scruples.WHEN fOUNDKD.\u201cTfalfi to say; the \u2018Most Ancient Order of the Thistle\u2019 W not so very \u2018ancient\u2019 ai all.It is usually supposed to have i>eeh founded by James II., of England, in 1687 and dedicated to St.Andrew.Possibly it was only revived at that date, for some of the insignia appear on coins of James III., James IV., James V., Mary and James VI., of Scotland.A collar of thistles may be seen on the bonnet pieces of James V., and in Sir David Lindsay\u2019s armorial register of 154*2 tho Royal ensigns ate depicted as surrounded with a collar of golden thistles; ttith an oval badge attaohed, and the motto, \u2018Nemo me irripund la'iesset;\u2019 The last of the Stuart kings must, however, be credited with having given the order something like substantiality ; but, though he issued statutes, he was too soon involved in political troubles to take any further interest in it.The patent for the institution of the new, or the revived, order never passed the great seal and therefore was legally null and void, the new knights occupying much the same position as the peers created by James II.\u2019 after his flight.OVER A CENTURY OLE.In 1704, however, the \u2018Moat Ancient Order of the Thistle\u2019 was again revived by Queen Anne and the statutes were issued which, with some alterations\u2014mainly as regards the number of knights and the change of\u2018lacesset,\u2019in the motto, into\u2018lacessit\u2019\u2014 still govern it.Thus the Scottish Order of Knighthood; though; like the Irish one, which is not yet a century old, exceptionally exclusive, is, compared with the Garter, almost of modern origin.Yet Holyrood palace, in which the order has a chape), contains a long series of portraits supposed to represent kings of whom the chronicles have not preserved the slightest record.\u201cAnd, according to legends as mythical as the portraits\u2014all painted by the same imaginative artist\u2014a certain King Achaius instituted the Thistle iu the eighth ceniury to commimorate a signal victory won by him over Athelstane, King of the Saxons, previous to which a white St.Andrew\u2019s cross had appeared in the heavens to animate the Caledonian army.Scotland heralds, ndt quite capable of swallowing these \u2018facts,\u2019 are, nevertheless, ready to stoutly contend for the Thistle possessing such antiquity as to give it precedence over tho (Jarter.This, however, is dangerous ground, the only circumstances which admit of no dispute being that the mantle, collar, jewel, ribbon and star, as now worn by the knights, do not date further back thau the beginning of last century.\u201d NOTES PROM THE CAPITAL ( From Our Oirn Correspondent.) Ottawa, May 7\u2014The May session of the Supreme Courtbpencd to day as required by Statute.Mr.Justice Fournier was absent.The Hist matter presented to the Court was a motion by the respondent In Odell Gregory to quash the appeal for w ant of jurisdiction ; or, if that was refused, for an order that Mrs.Odell should have access to her children.The action was brought iu the Superior Court of Quebec by Mr.OJell for a dicial separation from his wife and the annulment of the marriage contract on the ground of adultery by the wife, and for the custody of the children.The Superior Conrt granted the separation, but the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench reversed the decision and dismissed the action, holding that tho adultery had been condoned.The husband now seeks to appeal to this Court.Mr.Fitzpatrick, Q C., first moved to quash, arguing that the Supreme Court act did not provide for an appeal in such a case, and if it did the only amount that could be said to be in dispute was §1,000, the annual charge on the hu&band\u2019s estate by the marriage contract.He then moved for the order for access to the children Ho pointed out that by the Civil Code the guardianship of the children, when a suit like this is brought, to the father, whether he is CARTERS CURE Sick Headache and relieve all the troubles Incident to a bilious state ot tho system such M Dizziness, Nausea, Drowsiness.Distress after eating.Pain In the Side, Ac While their mosl remarkable success has been Shown 1a curing SICK Headache, yet Carter \u2022 Little Liver Pills are equally valuable In Constipation, curing and preventing tli is annoying complaint, win lu they also correct all disorders of the stomach stimulate the liver and regulate the bowels Even tl they only \u201c HEAD Aehethey would bealmosbpricelesstotbosewbO Buffer from thlsdlstresslngcompiaint but fortunately tbeirgoodnessdoes uotend here.and those who once try them will find these little pills valuable In so many ways that they will not be Witling to do without them.Dut after all sick head ACHE lathe bane of so many lives that here Is where we make our great boast.Our pills cure it while Others do not.Carter\u2019s Little Liver Pills are very small and very easy to take.One or two pills make a dose.They are strictly vegetable and do not gripe or purge, but by their gentle action pieiso all who metbem.InrialsatUScenis, flvefortl Bold t»f druggists everywhere, or sent by ma>L CARTER MEDICINE CO., New ferk.ME MS®, S1 For Esquimaux Point.TEAMF.R \u201cOTTER.\u201d CAPTAIN O.C.Bernier, will sail on SATURDAY morning, 11th May, at 9 o'clock for Esquimaux Point, calling at way places on the North Shore, also at Rimouski for the mails.A.ï RASER A CO., [Agents.May 3, 1895.____________________ NEW BOOKS.liLtiyD'S\u2014Its Origin.History and Methods, bÿ Henrÿ FrV, ex-Presidtnt of the Dominion Board or Trtfie of Canada, and Lloyd\u2019s Agent at Quebec.The Medical Education of Women, a Lfctfturtr by Mrs.Ashley Wilson.The Stone Church Bell, and other Poems, by George E.Fairweather.The Great Dominion\u2014Studies of Canada, by George R.Parkin, M.A.The Mystery of tho Patrician Club, by A.D.Vandome.Madame Sans Gene, by Sardbu.Tho Marriage of Esther, by Booth by.A Blameless Woman, by S.S.Winter.Tho Mermaid, by S.Dotigall.FOR SALE BY DAWSON & CO.Opposite Chronicle Ofiice.May 1.1895.THE NEW YORK HERALD, AMERICA\u2019S FOREMOST NEWSPAPER.D-A.XXj'ST «*3 ®TTIC-XXA/5r, A Magazine For 5 Cents.THE SUNDAY HERALD increarer in beauty and value with every issue.It is a veritable MAGAZINE of contemporaneous LITERATURE of the host clasi from the pens erf Famous FOREIGN and AMERICAN AUTHORS.It contains each week a SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT of Hand-HOMK Ficturks in Colors, HalR-Toné and Black and White.$2 a year.THE DAILY HERALD contains all thè news of the world gathered by its own cor-respondents and reporters and forwarded by unequalled cable and telegraphic taci] ties.$8 a year.Address THE HERALD.Herald Square, New York.April 29, 1895.W.Sharpe, HUILDKR AND CONTRACTOR OF Masonry, Bricklaying PLAIN AND ORNAMENTAL PLASTERING, - ALSO - Cement and Tile Flooring, Centre Flowers, &c.Jobbing Promptly Attended To.OFFICE AND YARD : 16-1 De Varennes Street, Quebec, TELEPHONE 958 April 25, 1S95.\tAm Cruel.\u201cThu first time I heard that played, Miss Ethel, do you know.I was completely carried away.\u201d \u201cIndeed !

Montreal.is given plaintiff or defendant, subject to the right of the wife to obtain an order from the Court allowing her access.On a final decree the Court may, whatever the result of the case, order the children to be given to either parent or to the guardianship of a third party, and may allow access to either parent not having the guardianship.1 he learned counsel pointed out that when the suit was first instituted the wife was allowed access to the children by order of the Superior Court and when the case went to the Queen\u2019s Bench that Court made a like order.On the present appeal being taken, the wife ogain applied to the Queen\u2019s Bench for a similar order, which was refused on the ground that the case was then in this Court.The counsel argued that as the Court could make this order on final decree, it must have jurisdiction to make it pending proceedings, the wife having by law a right to access.Mr.McCarthy, Q.C., and Mr.Lemieux, Q.C., opposed the motion, arguing that this case could be appealed under the general jurisdiction given to the Court, and the special provisions limiting appeals from Quebec did not affect it, as no sum of money was in controversy.If they did it was eminently a case in which future rights were involved.As to the other motion, the learned counsel argued that the Court had no jurisdiction to grant the order asked for, that the only jurisdiction was to dismiss the appeal or to give such judgment as the Court ^appealed from should have given, and that if the wife had no remedy for being deprived of her right, it was the fault of the law, but that she had a remedy by action.Judgment on the motion was reserved.How History is Made.The following interesting little story appears in a London ciely-.Talking of the present Ministry, let me give the true story of Sir K.Grey s making the grave statement in the House of Com mous A friend of mine, a rather brilliant man, was called upon by the editor of a weekly paper to write the leader for him.The editor has not yet thoroughly got over his influenza, and the friend agreed to do it He wrote the leader on the French aggressiveness in Africa, sent it to the printers, w here it was set up, and forwarded it to the editor.The latter, not approving of the subject, transmitted the proof, and said, \u201cMy dear boy, you agreed to write on Armenia, not Africi).This is of no sort of interest to the general public.The wires about the French on the Niger ami the reported march on the Soudan are probably pure inventions.Iu any case, the attack on Sir 1'.Grey for his vague generalities is hardly the thing,\" ami so on.My friend simply look the proof, and writ iug on it : \u201cThis is going into an important paper and is the true feeling of the English people,\u201d popped it into an envelope ami sent it down to Sir E.Grey at the House of Com mous.It was posted iu the Strand at 5.1.' p.m.ami would he delivered at Westminster probably at 0 30 p.m.At S p.m.the meet ing of the Cabinet was hastily convened by Sir E.Grey, and at 10 p.m.he made the statement which has shaken all the bourses of Europe.The following morning came the editorial wire to my friend, \u201c1 see the im portance of your article now and shall use it.ImperialBaak of Canada.AUCTION SALES.BY A.J.MAXHAM & CO Preliminary List of Messrs.Max-ham & Co.\u2019s Spring Engagements for Sales

Dear Sir,\u2014A copy of your paper or 3rd instant containing a letter signed \u201cW.T.Noble\u201d was sent to me.The letter beats upon the Verdun Hospital.The language of the letter is extraordinary and to me quite inexplicable.Amongst other things the letter indulges in some animadversions on myself and others.All I said at the meeting with the members of the Quebec Government in Montreal, was that I had no sympathy with the attack that had been made on the Government ami believed and hoped that it had been made in ignorance.I leave your readers to judge whether this called for or in any way justifies the violent abusive language of the letter in question.The utterly groundless, vulgar and slanderous insinuations of the letter I treat with the profound contempt which they deserve.One word more.I may at once relieve the writer\u2019s mind by assuring him that the few words I used at the meeting in Montreal had no reference whatever to him.I did not know that he had giveu utterance to any opinion on the subject.In fact I was barely aware of his existence.Yours sincerely, James Barclay, D.D.St.Paul\u2019s Manse, Montreal, 6th May, 1895.( To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.) Dear Sir,\u2014At the request of the Quebec Protestant Ministerial Association I take the liberty of enclosing herewith copies of memorials drawn up by the Association on the subjects of Marriage Licence and Registration, and respectfully asking that they may find a place in your paper.I may state that these memorials have been signed by each member of our Association and forwarded to the proper authorities, and also that other Protestant Ministerial Associations at Stan-stead and Compton, Sherbrooke, Coaticooke and Montreal are co-operating with ns in our effort to secure remedial legislation on the above subjects.Yours respectfully, C.H.Dai , Secretary Quebec Protestant Ministerial Association.360 St.John street, Quebec, May 7, 1895.To the Hon.L.0.Tuition, Prime Minister of the Province of Quebec, and the Members of his Cabinet.Gentlemen,\u2014The memorial of the undersigned ministersof various ProtestantChurches humbly sheweth : 1.\tThat we are under penalties\u2014compelled annually to purchase registers, and to pay certain Government officials for authority to use them, and then to deposit them annually with the Government, and all without any remuneration.We submit : 1.That it is not just or rea sonable, to demand such work from us under the above mentioned circumstances.2.\tAs the law stands our registration of baptisms is worthless and misleading, as a complete registration of births, as baptism is sometimes delayed till children are 5, 10, or ISyeaisof age, and sometimes they may never bo baptized.Besides there are var ions Protestant Churches, which do not baptise infants, 3.\tWe are compelled to pay for the legal privilege of doing forced labor without remu neration, which is ultra vires of the British Constitution ; and iu this case cannot be pro perly performed, through no fault of ours.We therefore most earnestly and respect fully ask to be relieved of these secular duties, li, That amongst our Protestant people, c marriage licence costs eight dollars ; six dol lars of which goes to Protestant education We submit : 1.That, all things being con sidered\u2014the above fees are oppressively and unnecessarily high ; while\u2014in the interests of morality\u2014they ought to be as low as posai bie.2.\tThat thus the poor man is compelled to contribute to the higher education of the rich man\u2019s son, which, because he U a poor man his own child cannot even share.3.\tThat this constitutes a special tax on matrimony, which is unjust in its incidence and unduly oppressive on the poor man We therefore most earnestly and respect fully ask, that the marriage licence fee be re duced to the sum of two dollars.In conclusion, we earnestly ami respectfully commend to your careful and immediate con sidération these two questions, of registration and marriage licence fees, in which we are personally and dteply {interested, because they affect our various congregations and the public at Urge.And as in duty bound we shall ever pray A China-Japan War Incident.The YorodzuChoro, of Tokio, Japan, in its issue of February 26, contains the following : \u2014\u201cIn their barracks as well as camps the Chinese troops are fond of having, if possible, their families with them.On January 13 the Japanese were about to attack a fort, and had made preparations to take it by storm, when they discovered, crowded behind a heap of corpses, a young woman of exceptional beauty.A gallant captain at once stepped forward and offered her his handkerchief wherewith to dry her pretty eyes, at tfie same time ordering two non-commissioned officers to see the Celestial Nioba in safety to the nearest village.Hardly had the woman quitted the vicinity of the fort when the same officer heard, proceeding, as it were, out of the ground, the muffUd cry of a very young child.Approocfiing the spot whence the sound appeared to come, he found a poor little baby, hardly two years old.left in a basket.His father-heart UiocLed by the sight, the captain instinctively lilted the Hitts one bp in his arms.At the same instant the report of a gun rang* out and a bullet pierced bis cap.Without letting go his tender burden officer continued to give his orders and direct too movements of his command until the Japanese v«r£ well inside of and masters of the fort.Advancing toward the sullen crowd of Chinese just taken prisoners, the captain selected the least ill-favoured captive and addressed him as follows :\u2014\u2018You are free, and 'tis to this baby that you owe your liberty.Take the child carefully in your arms and carry it as quickly as you can to a place of safety.\u2019 The improvised nurse did not have to be told twice what he was to do.With the baby clasped to his breast he at once set off a\u2018 the top of his speed.\u201d\u2014Exchange.Micro Organisms in the Air.To the unassisted eye the presence of even any solid particles in the air is, as a rule, entirely invisible.We say this U so as a rule, for there are circumstances when the solid particles in the air are rendered visible.Every ope is aware of the appearance of a stream of eunjight introduced through a slit or hole in ths shatter of a darkened room.Under such circumataaces the air through which the sunlight passes Lc seen to be full of minute dust particles ; yat the \u201cgay motes\u201d which are thus seen to \u201cpeople the sunbeam\u201d constitute, after all, only a very insignificant fraction of the total number the air contains, for thumiands of them are far too minute to be visible ta the naked eye.Among these latter are the gei ms.It is only indeed with the aid of our most powerful microscopes that we are enabled to discern these latter and form any estimate of their size.Many of them are less than the one twenty-thousandth of an ipeb.In the words of Prof Percy F.Franklapd, ooo of our first experts on this subject, \u201cfour hundred millions of these organisms could be spread over one square inch in a single layer.Thus we could have a population one hundred times as great as that of London settled on an area of a square inch without any complaint of overcrowding, and giving to each individual organism, not three acres, which certain politicians tell us are necessary for the individual man, but 4\t44\tNew York\t Baltimore\t\t 41\t\t44\tNew York\t\t\t11,15, 25, 30.44\tAustralia, New Zealand, Fiji and Hawaiian Islands\t1\t\t44\tVancouver\t\t16.\u2022 1\t44\t44\t44\t44\tIf\tSan Francisco\t\t2 21, 30.44\tThe Windward Islands, &e\t\t14\tHalifax\t\t\t 4*\tSt Pierre and Miquelon\t\t41\t(1 ,\t7.21.Mails Leave New York.For Hayti, and for Columbia except Colon and Panama.\u201c Cuba.\u201c The Windward Islands.\u201c Jamaica and Jeremie ;
