SNE SIGE: For Both Gander And Goose Says Lancaster. MASTERS AND MATES ON VESSELS, SHOULD BE BRITISH SUBJECTS. In His Opinion--Yesterday's Session of the Commons Devoid of Interest--Bill Re- garding Industrial Societies. From Our Own Correspondent Ottawa, Dec. 6.--The session, vester- day, was devoid of intercst ny, Monk secured the second 'reading of his bill respecting industrial and co- operative societies. It will be referred to a select committee, and, if reported favorably, will become a government measure. Mr. Lemicux declared him- self as heartily in favor of the prinoi- ple involved, and Mr. Fielding only jestioned the banking feature, as one | rejuiring attention. ! As draft-d, the act provides that tha business of banking, shall not be carried on by the society outside of the electoral district where it has its head office. © Also that, "no society carrying on the business. of banking shall advance mioney by or otherwise to, from any members.

If it was a desirable thing to reauire mas ters and mates to he British svhieots and he thought it was, then by all means pass the law. But let ps not Pass any measure merely because ome other nation has a law of the same kind. Mr. Sinclair (liberal, Nova Scotia), thought that the bill was unnecessary, and it might be injurious. The matter had been looked into last se m, and only one man had been discovers who wes an American citizen and the cap tain .of a Canadian vessel. On the' other hand there were hundreds ol (Canadians who had gone through the form of taking out first papers in the United States, and were as masters or mates in both vears ago, licensed countries .

Great Religious Crisis Impending in France. Paris, Dec. 6.--Unless the Vatican authorrties catise sone radical changes in the situation the fears of a relig ous crisis resulting in the enlorcement on Tuesaay next of the law for the separation of church are regarded as dissipated, the recent proceedings of the Clemen ceatt cabinet. The extreme radicals who wish that the poliee of spoliation and persecution be ipaugurated on provid and state owing to Tuesday next, have been told that all church property not claimed by cal tural association on that day will puss under the control of the state for distributions to the communes atthe end of the ensuing year. The in the interim, will remain at the dis position of the clergy and a road for retreat is left open to the vatican by the admission of 'the possibility that church propefty can by state decree be granted to associations formed before December 11th, 1907.

Causes Mercy to Descend Like Rain. Paris, Dee. 6.--Dr. Baradue, lecturing on the cargtive force ouserved during the last great pilgrimage to Lourdes, and the scentine phys sology of mir- acles, deciurgd that the cnet factor wis the lores of prayer ascending irom sixty thousand pilgrims, which caused a ram of mercy to descend in the ior of tiny drops, the photo-chemical action 'of Which produced the same impression on 'ten photog raphic plates enclosed in radiographic paper, which werd exposed in the grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. Two plates similarly expesed in Piscing showed an entirely diferent impression, Lr. Baradue dis played' these plates, and also negatives made at Léurdes, but not submitted to the action of the curative force. He also displayed negatives pleasure fair in Paris. The latter gave no result, which. Dr. Paraduc ascribed to the non-polarized action of the Wi- brations of the multitude's thoughts, made at a which were not concentrated, as at Lourdes.

Dunning, wife of the Pastor of. the Clinton Square Preshy- terian church, is probably. the one woman in the civilized world who can boast. of such a Feat. She captured a large rat alive, and held tight to it until it was dead, under most unusual and quite unheard of 'circumstances, Several nights ago Mrs. Dunning suddenly woke up from her sleep to find that she was clutching a squirm. ing object very tightly in her right hand. Rhe was almost overcome with horror, but had safficient presence of mind to awaken her husband. Unable to obtain from his wife any coherent explanation for disturbing him and realizing that something strange was happenine, Mr. Dunning sprung from bed and touched an elee- fric "hutfon which turned on the lights. if Mrs. Dunning had Leen frightened before, she was a great deal more so when, under the light, she found that the object in her hand was a live rat. Mr. Dunning was stipified for a mo- ment. Quickly gritsping the situation, however, he told his wife to hold tight and then he buried hand and rat underneath a' pillow. He pressed hard on the pillow long enon~h, as he supposed, to smother © the rat. Moun: while, Mrs. Dunning held tight to her prey. When Mr. Danning lifted the. pil low it was found that the rat had ex pired, In the excitement Mr. Dunning had failed to notice an abrasion on his her hold Dunning trickling wife's cheek, After releasing upon the rat, however, Mrs, discovered that blood was from her face.
