Relating to bills ot exchange and promis sory notes Sir John Thompson. To amend Act respecting elections of Members of the House ot Commons, other wise known at chapter tight of the Revised Statutes of Canada -Mr. Jonoas. Sir John Thompson, in introducing his Bill relating to bills of exchange and pro missory notes, said this measure had received consideration in the Hoase last session, and was brought ap again on an understanding then arrived at. The Bill was read a first time. Hir John Vaodonald, in reply to Mr. Desaulniers, said that the appointment to all tha vacancy in tha Senate caused by tho death of Mr. Farrier was still under con aideration. Mr. Mills (Bothwell) The vacancies are being well considered. (Laughter.) Mr. Landerkin moved for a statement ol Bills uisa 1 .: )*('. since Confederation ane can so assigned. Mr. McCarthy asked to have added to tbe molioa that it be stated whether said Bills were disallowed because they were contrary to publu policy or ultra viret under tbe B. N. A. Act. Mr. Landerkin Would boo. gentlemen consent to have this return brought doi in English and French. (Laughter.) I so, I oonsent to tha addition. Sir John Thompson said that tbe returns had been brought down to the year 1888 and the Government would bring down ih returns to tbe present. The motion passed. Mr. Lanrier I would like to sek whether it is the intention of the Government to l%y on tbe table the papers connected with the Behring Sea nsberms dispute. Sir John Maodonald It is not the in tention of the Government to lay these papers before the House at present although we may do so in the course of th session. Sir Richard Cartwright This matte was referred to in tbe Speech from the Tbronn, and when that is the oase it i alwa>s customary to lay the pipers befor the House.

Mr. Jostigan, in answer to Mr. Small, aid that tba Government were considering he Inland Revenue Aot, with a view to making amendments in the interest of the tobacco trade, it it could be done without >rejadice to revenue. Mr. Carling, in reply to Mr. Jones, aaid hat the Agricultural Department had eceived no information as to any special lattle disease in the Western Slates, but hat the quarantine of ninety days, to which cattle from tbe Western States were objected, was a sufficient protection against any epidemic. Mr. Wood (Westmoreland) moved for returns showing tbe quantity of fresh beef mported into Canada from tbe United States daring the fiscal year ended Deo. list, 188'J. Ha pointed out that it was t >ossible to gather from the trade and navigation returns the fresh beef imported, aa no distinction was made between it and the other kinds. Importations of fresh beef nto tha Maritime Provinces bad of late veare been largely on tbe increase. It was ihe duty of tha Government to take eoina steps to protect Canadian interests, and he relieved that the tariff should be made ligber. In fact tbe present charge should >a doubled. Mr. Bowell said tbe Government had no power to obtain the information asked by ihe member, as no separate statistics had been forwarded as to tbe importation of fresh beef. Tbe motion was withdrawn.

They were merely a mauraading party out on an expedition to plunder the sugar basin on tbe breakfast table.

Instantly the expedition aad been ornamz.il, and there was a COHTINDOCB HTREAM UK JLMTS from tha hole in tbe wall where they dwelt, along the floor, up the tablecloth, on to the sugar basin. With a sideboard in which anything sweet is kept it is usual to put brand aaaoers full of water under the leet, BO as to keep the ants out. The water must be constantly changed, for if it gets oovered with dost or any debris that will carry tbe weight of an ant, the little creatures soon and it oat and cross the moat. It IB always expedient to have the feet of your bed planted in brans saucers fall of water, ao an to prevent the ants get- ting up into thu bed.
