London, Oct. 20.--The parliamentary barometer ) indicates a continuation of the stormy weather in the house of commons. 'the Nationalist members of parliament are determined that the autumn session will not be entirely de- e consideration of - the edu A bul. Several questions will be put to the government in the house of commons to-day with réfer- ence to the position of affairs in Ire- land, and Premier Balfour will be urg- ed to give a day for the discussion of Prosecutions under the crimes act. Lhe prime minister isnot indisposed to grant an opportunity of debating the conduct of the "Irish executive if the parliamentary leaders of the liber al party are prepared to approve the methods of the United 1rish League and condemn: the action of the gov- ernment in dealing with the operations of that body. But the Irish members have lew supporters in the liberal ranks. Sir William Harcourt, Mr As fut 20 ay Morey voted against t sday night on the mo tion to suspend Mr. O'Donnell. Sir Nenry Campbell Bannerman 'would also have opposed them bad he been pres- ent on that occasion. The National ists are, however, in fighting trim, and they will move the adjournment of the house, if they cannot get a definite promise of a day for the consideration of t he grave condition of Ireland. The uneasiness. in official circles connection with the Russian designs in the near east is increasing. The story 1s repeated that Russia is press ing Turkey to revive the treaty of 1533, under which the Porte, if the treaty has not heen abrogated, would have passed under Russian protection and virtual control. It is pointed out that as Russian ambitions in the far east have been checked, if not thwarted by the Anglo-Japanese alli ance, Great Britain can hardly com- plain if the scene of Russian activity is transferred to (he eastern Mediter- ranean. There are even signs that Great Britain may be preparing to make some concessions. The reservists who have returned from South Africa again demonstrated in Hyde Park yesterday. Their inabili- ty to obfain work is due to the fact that the war lasted longer than the people in this country expected, manv firms finding it impossible to keep open the places of men who had leit their service to join the colors. Svim- pathy for the returned reservists is widespread and their case is. to be brought before parliament. It is said that the visit of th: king of Portugal to England has great po litical significance, and that manv im portant matters. are to be discussed between him and King Edward in" re gard to South Africa. Vague rumors that England is seeking the purchase of Portugal's South African colonies have "been current for a long while, but at the foreign oftice they are de clared to be without foundation. The news which has reached England from that remote corner of North East Africa, Somaliland, is admitted to he of a serious description. The hope fervently expressed that Col.

BAS SANA LS vey Bubble Blowing For Health, The latest suggestion for acquiring health and beauty is to practice bub- ble blowing with a clay pipe, says the, Brooklyn ole. It is claimed that if a_ woman will adhere to the practice for a reasonable length of time. she will find her checks have become plump and the contour of her neck de cidedly improved. Blowing bubbles is a similar operation to breathing exercises, now so highly re- commended, and the searcher after health "and beauty must blow as large a bubble as she can . while seated, blowing slowly and cradually, for fear of bursting fhe bubble. After a few minutes the exercise is repeated stand- ing. Then she lies flat on her back on the floor, with chin as high as possible, and blows as long as she can, the first bubble slowly, and then as rapidly as possible. Papa, Come !
