On the adviceTof the minister of Jus- ti<ce the '-.following, ques'tions are those upon which the. court's announcement is .asked. : .1. (a) Has^the parliament:-.of Canada authority to .enact ill whole or in part Bill JSTci 3 of the first session' the 12th parliament of Canada, instituted "An Act to amend the Marriage Act." The bill provides as follows: l The Marriage Act, chapter 105 of at first, and the wonder is it has the revised statutes, 1106. is amend- see sight." Roads we have been promised, roiads we hope to get are "noit yet in sight." ' "Mr. Robert Mantell the other night made Richelieu give great force to woifda "When the lion's ,skin runs short eke it out with the fox's." Let us parody thet 'saying, "When gdv- ornm-ent fails to- do its duty, the Progress Club must step in." The Progress* Club���������more :power to it- has risen to the occasion and' if much needed roiads are made in the near future we may perhaps have reason to be grateful to Granville street than to Ottawa or Victoria. In Ireland a gallant general is ������ amembered as a. roadt-fciaker, while the government's department [responsible for .such work is forgotten or execrated. An inscription on a\ bor*(rd nyi" a roadside is a fine evidence of Pat's gratitude, if it does not evince much ability in literary ^composition : "If you'd .seen these roads before they were made, ' ��������� Yo-si would lift up your hands and bless General Wade." British Columbia can show many places where roads are conspicuous, by their absence; many places which have roiads resembling one in a lone district ,of the Emerald Isle: "You scoundrel^" said a horse man, up to his horse's girth in mud shaking his whip at a! "grinning peasant; "you scoundrel, you told me litis road was hard at the bottom." "And. -bedad, so it is," said- P.it; "but you're not half way down id (he ��������� bottom yet!"

ORIGIN OF WOMEN : .Vi-o.ptrding to ri Hindu legend this is the origin of wohii.n. Twash trl, the good Vulcan of the Hindu ���������nythology, created the world, but on his commencing to create woman he discovered that for man he had exhausted all his creative materials, and not one solidi element had been left. This greatly, perplexed Twashtri and caused him to fall into a profound meditation. When he arose from it he took: The roundness of the moon. The uun'dulsit'ng curve of the serpent." The graceful" twist" of the- creep- ng - plant. The light isnivering of the.grass blade and ?'the slenderneas 'of" the willow< The velvet of the flowers. The.lightness of the feathers., The"g'entleN:ga"ze of the'doe. The frolicaomenessof :the dancing aunbeaxh. *. , The?teara of the cloud. The inconsistency of the'w'nd. The timidity of the hare. The vanity of' the peacock. The; hardness of the diamond.. The* cruelty of the tiger. The chill of the snow. The cackling of the parrot. The cooing of the turtle dove.. All of "theae he mixed together and formed a woman. ��������� RAILWAY BELT WrATER RIGHTS -������������������ ��������� -i : I I ;| j- The official Gazette (of British Columbia will contain an announcement of ��������� the Water.

Tuberculosis is caused by a bacillus or germ, and the parts of the body- usually ^ first attacked are the ��������� Intestines," liver and spleen, the infection being taken in with ' food which has been contaminated by contact with the droppings of affected birds. Examination of the body after death reveals small whitish patches, called tubercles, in the liver, spleen, and on the lining of the intestines,' but .these may be found in other parts also. It is not ��������� possible to treat this disease successfully, and attention should, therefore, be directed to methods of prevention. Since the bowels are usually affected, the droppings of tubercular birds are the p'-'-" source of infection. Birds which are ailing and' which exhibit the symptoms of tuberculosis should, therefore, be destroyed. The stock remaining should be carefully examined, and healthy birds transferred to fresh quarters. The old quarters should undergo a thorough cleaning and disinfecting, and be allowed to remain unoccupied for several months. Where a serious outbreak occurs It Is safer to clear off the entire stock, then to apply freshly-burned lime to the ground, and rear a fresh stock in a portable house on new ground. 1 Tb -> most common symptom is diarrhoea, with the droppings of a greyish vellow color. In the later stages affected birds become very feeble and thin, the comb and wattles shrink In size nn* turn pale or dull purple in color. The mucous membranes which surround the "eye and line the mouth are also pale "and there ** loss "f appetite. Matsqui Hote MISSIPNCITY, B.C.

She h: \ handed.the inspector her key, and he had unlocked the trunk, and was carefully- lifting things when she squealed in a voice that made me Jump 'Don't you tetch it���������don't you tetch. it! ' "He straightened himself, and said'; 'Touch what, madam?' "'That little tub of -butter,* she replied. 'I'm takin' it to my daughter in Boston. She wouldn't stay. home on our dandy farm, and butter's such an awful price in Boston that she can't afford to buy it. Now, don't you tetch it.' "He grinned like a Chessy cat, and handed her the key, then whisked the strap round her clumsy, old, hair trunk." Biddy, who was following the railway route on the map, asked, "Can't you cross Canada without dropping down into the.state of Maine?" "Oh yes, we have other lines, very picturesque ones, but longer. This is what we call the short line to Montreal." "I think it is very kind in this government to let a Canadian line run through their country," remarked Biddy in a belligerent tone. "If you wish me to argue that point, Biddy, my friend," said Judy, "you will be. disappointed. Can we Nova Scotians who earn our living, and marry and Intermarry and form warm friendships in this country, object to anything that increases the good feeling between our respective governments? No; long live international civilities, say I. I heard a man out west one day In the train grumbling about the unprotected three thousand miles of boundary between us and the States. 'Sir,' I said, 'who is going to attack that three thousand-mile line?' " 'Why, those greedy Americans,' he " replied. 'Don't you suppose they'll want to gobble us up some day?' "'Sir,' I said, 'that unprotected three thousand miles of boundary- line is our glory and pride.' " 'How so?' he asked. "'Because it shows the -'rong and tender ties existing between the two countries. Did you ever hecr of the Christ of the Andes?' ���������"No,' he replied testily, 'I don't know what you mean.' "'Five years ago,' I said, 'the two high-spirited republics of Chile and Argentine were on the brink of a rupture. Some of their good bishops, aided by the British ministers, begged them to try beneficent peace Instead of horrid war. They, therefore, settled their quarrel by means of arbitration, agreed to reduce their armies to police forces, and, to stop building frg.ttieg.blps. ,. Wjtft the money thTl8*"saYea", they" made" Infernal an<! coast Improvements. One arsenal Is now a manual training school for boys. Some war vessels are merchant steamers, and now there Is love Instead of hatred between Chileans and Argentines. On a certain Easter Sunday, a Roman Catholic bishop in Buenos Ayres, .said, 'Let us. have a statue of the Prince of Peace between i the two countries.' The Christian Mothers' Association of Buenos Ayres eageriy took up the project, secured funds, and had a young Argentine sculptor make, a statue from old cannon. Senora de Costa, the president of the society, stood,at the foot of this noble statue of Christ which has a cross in one hand and the other extended In blessing, and with inspired eloquence, Pegged a largo audience of Chileans fend Argentines, to place this representation of the Saviour of the world, on the highest peak of the mountains between tho two countries.

' They, all laughed at her, and Judy' B&ld, "Naughty Peanuts! Montreal could swallow a , dozen. Bangors. Speaking of, Ice carnivals, some of the Montreal merchants objected to them,, because they, gave the impression outside, that Canadn Is a land of ice and sno.w only. I think myself, it was a mistake to give up the carnivals. Montreal Is a very, hot place In summer, and in winter It never seems to me colder than Bangor, for example, or any of your northern cities, and if it were, snow and Ice keep a city's population clean. The lazy and vicious dont' thrive In an atmosphere be.low.ze.ro.. They've got to work, so they hurry away to warmer climes." "And are there no slums in, Canada?" asked Eiddy.-> . ��������� Judy's face fell. "Alas! yes. Our Dominion has not, yet, solved, the waste, problem, but we have fewer slums than other countries. Mon-, treal is' called our commercial metropolis. Someone told rr.e the'other day that there are sixty-two millionaires there." "Generous?" ejaculated Jane, with uplifted eyebrows. "Some of them. Lord Strathcona and others have been very, good to McGill University. You have heard of it?" "One of my cousins went there for his medical course," said Peanuts. "McGill ranks with the greatest universities in the -"-orld, now," continue/! Judy. "I remember once going through Drexel Institute In Philadelphia .with a dear American colonel, who ,sald, 'Come over to this group.' The group consisted of a gray-haired Montreal millionaire who was travelling with several professors from McGill. 'They were thinking of enlarging .their equipment there, and were .visiting Amerir can institutions to. get , advanced knowledge of new methods of wo:k The colonel introduced them to me. and I found them charming." "My cousin spoke of a college residence for women at McGill," observed Peanuts. "That is Donalda Hall. About sixty girls live an ideally happy life there, in home-like surroundings. Student government prevails. If a girl has time for study, I don't know of any better training for her than the delightfully moulding.atmosphere of a good college residence. It inspires you on. the one hand, and takes the conceit out of you on the other. It lifts you up, and casts you down. It takes off the corners, without making you as round as all. the other pebbles. Oh! a good woman's residence university graduate is a flower of perfect womanhood." "Is this residence any nicer than ours?" Inquired Peanuts sturdily, yet with a certain wistfulness in her. tone. Judy sprang to her feet, and seised the diminutive Peanuts', hands so abruptly that her sewing fell to th������ floor.

In reposej the bird, with its' delicate ash-grey and white plumage, harmonises so; completely in tone with its environment that it becomes one with its natural surroundings. Even on a flat beach or shore, it may pass for a fragment of rock or wooden stake, or some other long-shore object, until it moves. A natlent fisher is the heron', but when' its prey comes within reach the long neck curves and the;; rapier-like bill Is shot out quickly and un.er--. ringly.

If the soil is a heavy clay and inclined to bake, lime would have. a. tendency to make the soi1 more friable, and hence more suiter' to plant growth. If the land is sour, as evidenced by the growth of such plants as sheep sorrel, or horse tail an application of. 1.000 to 1,500 lbs. 6/ lime per acre would be decidedly beneficial. Lime, also acts to a certain extent on the* unavailable plant food of the soil making it available for (he use of the plants, but the result of this action of lime in the long run is still greater impoverishment of the soil. As a direct fertilizer, lime is of particular value for clover,. In fajQt, Waves are very deceptive. To look at them in a storm'.one would think that the whole water traveWed. The water stays in the same place, but the motion goes on. Sometimes in storms these waves are forty feet high and travel fifty miles per hour ��������� nearly twice as fast as the fleetest steamship. The base of a wave ��������� the distance from valley to valley on either side at the bottom ��������� is generally .reckoned at being 15 times the height, therefore an average wave; say one 25 feet high, has a base extending over 275 feet. The force of waves breaking on the shore is said to be 17 tons to the square yard. FOUR tfHE ABBOTSFORD POST, ABBOTSFORD, B.

Hardening the Gums The mouth often needs an antiseptic, wasih, for hardening the gums end purifying the Jbreath; the best thing for this purpose is tincture of myrrh, a few drops in a glass of water to rinse t'he mouth. It leaves a clean, pure taste in the mouth, and will relieve the 'breath of any unpleasantness for a short while. As most good remedies are often the ones nearest at hand, we find that borax water, not too strong, will whiten the teeth wonderfully, using it.like ordinary water, with no other dentifrice. As borax is a powerful germ-destroyer, it will arrest decay and so stay the work of destruction until one can get to the dentist. Common salt is a good dentifrice, used occasionally, especially in cases where the gums need hardening, but it ������hould not be used. often, as the ���������powerful acid is-strong for the delicate enamel of the teeth. , Hang Up the Broom A broom should never be stood on the straws after using, but there should be a stringloop, or ring with A Tasty Irish Stew.

Method: Cut the meat, after washing and drying it, into neat pieces, add the bones as they make the gravy richer; slice the potatoes and onions. Place in a pan a layer of meat, potato, and onion, adding seasoning between each layer, and Graving potatoes on tlie top. Pour over sufficient water ito come two-thirds up the pan. Simmer the whole very gently for one end a half or two hours. Stir very occasionally, adding more liquid if needed. Man's Economy One day, as a farmer of extraordinary meanness was starting out for the 'town to do his weekly shopping ���������for even he had to buy something for the support of his family ��������� his wife came out and asked ,him to buy her a darning-needle. "What's the matter with the one I bought you last winter?" asked the farmer. "The eye has broken," she. replied. "Bring the needle here," he said. "I'm not going to allow such extravagance. I'll have the needle mended." The woman, wise in her generation, made no protest. She brought out the broken needle. The economical farmer rode away into the town, and made his first stop at the blacksmith's shop. He took out the needle, and gave it to the blacksmith. "I want that mended," ��������� he said. The blacksmith knew, his customer, and, keeping his face perfectly straight, said the eye should be mended in an hour's time. . The farmer rode away, and the blacksmith walked across the road and bought a new needle for a cent. When the *- farmer called again, the blacksmith gave him the new needle. The farmer looked at the smooth, polished surface of the steel, and remarked that It was a good job. "How much will it be?" said he.' "Five cents," said the blacksmith, and the farmer as he paid it remarked that he knew that the needle. could be meWded, but his wife would have gone to the expense of buying a new one!
