Thinks Late-Sown Wheat Will Be Lucky to Ripen. A despatch from W'nnipeg says: G. M. Lecount, United States grain expert, was in Winnipeg on Thurs- day returning south after a trip over the Canadian West to Regina by Canadian Pacific, to Saskatoon by the Canadian Northern, and back to Winnipeg by the Grand Trunk Pacific. Mr. Lecount states that as far as he travelled early- sown wheat was looking well, and there was no seriou* need of rain, though rain would be accepted al- most everywhere. "Later sown wheat is not more than l)i inches high, and some only ju-st coming through the ground," said Lecount, "and it will take extremely favor- able weather from now on and late fall to make a crop from this wheat."

Cre of the most Interesting chapters in ' Getting into Parliament and Af:er," which has just been published by Honor- able Sir Ueorge W. Ross, he <I...-.-r.!>s hltf impressions of the House of Commons t he remember* it whu he w*s first elected to it w.th the ad re IK of the Mjukenaie Administration in 1873. lie describes the happy family of members who took a suite of rooms with a private parlor and dio- ! ing room in one of the Ottawa hotels. There were twelve of them. At the bead ; sat Joseph Bymal. "a good carver aud a generous on." At lh foot David Stirtou. ; just as goud. At the centre on one s:dt : sat Adam Oordou of North Ontario, and : opposite him John Ch.irlton. The others ; included Jame* Trow of South Perth. Thci. Bain of North Wentworth. David Thorn- eon of Haldimand. Thos Oliver of North i Oxford. John Gill-.ee of Bruce. Wm. Mag- grrgor of South EsMex, - Galbraith of ' North Lanark, aud Thos.

I might hav opinions that was all right and quite harmless, whether they were right or wrong, so long as I did not turn them loose on the House. Of courve. if my opinion* were in harmony with the Gov- ernment all wa* well, providing the Gov- ernment wanted to hear them. If not, it wa* purely a work of supererogation to give them and so I had better govern my- self accordingly." Tho M.P.'i Lack of Industry. At another point he refers) to the lack of Industry of members of Parliament. "I thought it my duty to remain constantly in the House) would I take Parliamentary life less seriously later on? Even when it was a working day how few attended to the work in hand. Some would be reading the evening papers, other* busy with their correspondence or carrying on a tubdusd conversation with their desk- matvB. while ten or fifteen members near the frout would be nettling the terms' of an important Bill or voting millions for the public service. Is that the proper way to "treat, do, act and conclude," as were commanded on coming to "our city of Ottawa" f Be recall* the difficulty of dealing with the Parliamentary bore. Perhaps no bet- ter method was ever in practice of nquash- ing this particular genus than that put Into effect by one Mr. Jos. Caochon, who afterwards became Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba, and whose name appears at one or two critical points in Canadian history. Sir George recall* that Mr. Cauchou owned a Jewsharp cf generous proportions and secreting himself behind the back row of seats when some speech was becoming particularly long winded, would produce the most distracting sounds from it that ever filled the House. Painters to (psaktrs. Sir George describes the'House of Com- moue as the most peculiar audience In the world to addremi aud gives this ad- vice to young members: "The young mem- ber of Parliament should also remember that a good platform style Is a bad Par- liamentary style. This may be rather an extreme way of putting the caw, but it * iu the main 'rue. A platform admits of exhortatiou. of the Assumption of know- ledge superior to your audience, of a little schoolmalering. but Parliament never. Again, u platform admits the dramatic, the emotional aud will evn allow a Hltln judicious and dignified burlesque: Parlia- ment has uo place for such weakue*seti.

MEASLES STILL UNCHECKED. Nearly Fourteen Hundred Cats*.'* and Eighteen Death* in May. A uespa-U-h from Toronto s*yr The epidemic of measles that has been ravaging the province for tha past few months shows no sign of abating. During May, according to the returns of th Provincial B^ard of Health, there were 1.39S oases, of which 19 resulted in death. Last year'* May figures showed only 558 cases and 15 deaths. While there is twice as much measles in Ontario as a year ago, the figures, do not give an entirely accurate comparison, owing to the fact that up to last Fall quarantine was not required for cases of thi disease, and returns were anything but complete. The great difficulty the f health department has experienced: in fighting measles is that the aver-j ago person does not consider thai disease a serious ou. and neces- sary precautions are neglected. It is a fact, little realized, thai meas- lea. whooping cough, etc., regularly claim more victims than smallpox and typhoid The May returns, j apart from measles, show an im- proved state of health generally, the increase in tuberculosis cases, being due to more complete re- turns.
