"It is necessary that the people be brought gradually to appreciate the value of these institutions, and this is my aim, It is quite trate that there are two parties in the cotuitry, one: for and one against a constitution, but it is precisely for this reason that I fear a hasty de- :ision might lead to disturbances which [-am anxious to avoid.

Expensive Politics In England. Brantford Expositor. We are told that we ought to look to England, as an example fog, our legislation against corrupt. practices at elections. Perhaps we should ; but we must not lose * sight of the fact that while the 'corrupt practices act has done much to 'prevent the spend- ing of ®arge sums of money at the actuai election; a new kind 'of disguis- ed bribery has more than taken its place. "The demands upon the pocket of every pliable member are unceas- ing. In. some cases it costs. as much to have a constituency as a steam- vacht or a pack of hounds. It is by no means uncommon for constituen- cies to cost their member between $10,000 and '$15,000 a year. It used to cost a rick 'man $50,000 to get into parliament. Now it cegts him $6,000 at the election and $10,000 a year for the five years which is the aver- age duration 'of a parliament. So that while in €anada we pay our members of parliament' at the rate of $10,000 a parliament, their brothers at Westmins have, to pay uearly six times that sum if they wish to to keep their "hold upon their consti- tuencies."'

Cold cereals can be fried the same as mush; serve with gravy or syrup. To cover the pan in which fish is cooking will 'make the flesh soft. Nickel may be kept bright by being rubbed with wool saturated in amnionia. All lard to fry fritters and dough- nuts must be sizzling hot before putting in the batter. = Alcohol and whiting make a. good silver polish; excellent for polishing plate glass mirrors. Black lead mixed with vinegar will be found to give a specially good polish to the kitchen stove. A piece of flannel dampened with spirits of camphor will remove stains from mirrers or. window glass. A 'weak solution of turpentine poured down the water pipes once a week will drive the water bugs away. Ripe tomatoes can be cooked jin but- ter, and a cupful of spaghetti added will make a tempting dish for luncheon. Rub over new tinware with lard and 'horoughly heat it in the oven before using it, for thus it is protected from rust. \ When making gravy add a little pars- ley to the grease before putting in the Hotir,. remove it' after it is thoroughly cooked, add the flour, and see what a de- lightful change it makes in the ordinary heef gravy, fat Rs Rs Sores To Make Matches Waterproof.

Thirty Toronto street railway motor- men were called into the office the other day, and went egpecting trouble. In- stead they were made sharers in the division of $300 sent in by an old lady, a cripple, with the request that it be divided among certain motormen whose numbers she gave, who had been kind enough to stop their cars for her. She had kept a record of their numbers, and the sum was divided according tog the stops they had made to take her on. If this sort of thing should become general we would soon - forget what it feels to see a car go tearing by with the motor- man's eye fixed $0 intently on the other side of the street.
