Mr. Leurier said that in fifteen days the time for the commencement of the re- vision of the voters’ lists would be at hand. WVas it the intention of the Government that the revision would take place under the present system 2 . Sir John Thompson replied that the rows- ion is to take place under the present system. The reason no instructions had been given was that none were to be given. It is proposed to have the revision under the present system. The bill to be intro- duced would not make any change in the system, but would simply provide for the districts the boundaries of which had been changed by redistribution. He did not wish to be bound by this, but this was the only amendment at present in view. The House Went into Committee of \Vays and Means to consider the tariff. EDG RD T0013. 1dr. Foster moved to make the duty on picks, mattocks, grub hoe's, adzes, hatchets, and poles for the same, and edged tools of all descriptions, 35 per cent. Sir Rchard Cartwright said this was a return to the old duty. It was a most ob- jectionahle tax. Mr. Foster said the raw material for those goods was protected, and this was not a relatively high pretectiou. On some of the articles mentioned there was prev- iously a compound duty in comparison with which 35 per cent. was a large re- duction. siiovais AND SPADES. Mr. Foster moved that “ shovels and spades, shovel and spade blanks, and iron or‘steel out to shape for same,” be changed from 35 per cent. to 50 cents per‘dozeu and 25 per cent.

Mr. Foster moved the adoption of the item regarding shirts in an amended form. As changed it imposed a duty of 25‘ per cent. and $1 a dozen on shirts costing more than $3 a dozen. Shirts costing $3 or less per dozen were struck out of the item. The item as amended was adopted. TARIFF CHANGES.

The bill was read a first time. vorens \vuo ARE BitlBED. The House went into committee on Mr. Weldon’s bill to disfranchise voters who have taken bribes. Mr. Joucas contended that the man who gives the bribe should be punished as well as he who takes it. . Mr. Weldon moved that the time for bringing the petition under the Act he not - sooner than forty days after the election or later than sixty days. He explained that the object of this was to prevent proceed- ings under this Act from clashing with petitions to void elections. The amendment was carried. Mr. hloucrietf moved that all witnesses shall entitled to be paid, in the first iultnnce, by the party summoning them, witness fees, as in an ordinary action in the Supreme or Superior Courts. he amendment was carried. Mr. -.\loucriefl~ moved that the committee rise and report progress. Sir John Thompson opposed the motion. fi'l‘he motion was carried by a vote of 59 to MASTERS AND auras. Sir Charles H. Topper introduced a resolution providing that the Governorviu- Council may establish the following scale of fees to be charged for certificates to mast- ers and mates :â€"For a certificate of com- petency as master. fifteen dollars ; for a certificate of competency as mate of a sea- going ship, eight dollars :for a certificate of com etency as mate of a ship trading on the inland waters of Canada, or on the minor waters of Canada, or on coasting voy~ ages, six dollars ; for a certificate of service as master, eight dollars :for a certificate of service as male of a sea-going ship. five dollars :end for a certificate of service as meg of a ship trading on the inland waters of Canada, or on the minor waters of Cane- da. or on coasting voyages, four dollars. He explained that this was an increase. The fund connected with this service was about scam in debt. 85 for letters mass for mate's. and Mean. . . saw was. Mr. hiscdonell (Algoma) said he was credibly informed that the tugs usually towed three times as many feet of lumber as was stated in their clearance papers. He urged the reimpositiou of an export duty which would save to the counf'ry many thousand dollars a year. At present the exportation of logs destroyed fishermen's nets completely, but if the logs were sawed in the country the y would not destroy the nets. He said the Americans must have Canadian white pine lumber whatever it costs. They were going to buy it whethtr the duty was $1, $2, or $4 a thousand feet, and the consumer paid the duty. Mr. O'Brien thought theAmericaus were not so dependent upon Canadian white pine In regard to the condition of the industry in the Parry Sound district on the Georgian Bay, he said the principal mills were all running, and where any mills wore closed, it was owing to the lumber trade having departed anyway. If an export duty was reimposed, it would put such a barrier in the way of the Canadian‘ trade that only the very best quality of lumber would be exported. He believed the statements were exaggerated, both as to the quantity of logs exported and as to the quantity of American labor employed in the lumber districts. While there wssa chance of the import duty being taken off the Canadian Government should not reimpose an export duty. The item passed. DRESSED LUMBER. Mr. Foster moved to add to the item of undressed lumber on the free list the words “or dressed on one side only. " He explained that the addition was proposed in the interest of Mauitobaaud the North-West. Mr. Martin moved in amendment to add the words “and including matched lumber.” The amendment} was defeated, and the item as amended by the Finance Min- ister was carried. TARRIFF CHANGES. The following changes and additions were niadezâ€"Elm logs were included in the item of pine, Douglas fir, spruce, fir balsam, cedar and hemlock logs, upon which the Governor-in-Couucil may under the pro- viso impose an export duty not exceeding $3 per thousand feet b.m.

The bill was in the line of legis- lation that had already taken place in regard to weights and measures aud inspection of gas. It was claimed by the gas companies that there was no or ument that made for inspection of gas t at did not in like manner make for their compet- itorsâ€"the electric companies. The bill had received the consideration of the best experts that cculd be consulted, and was thought by the Government to be a meas« are worthy of introduction, and of being put- iuto ractioalo ration. Mr. Ci :1 ask if it was the intention of the Government to employ the same inspectorsaswereused for the gas comâ€" panics. Mr. Wood (Brockvillelâ€"Yes.

The bill was read a firsttime. r The House went into Committee of Ways and Means. i ans-rum Mri‘Foster said that the proposed drop from from20 per cent. to 15 per cent. in black leather was found to be too large, in view of the present competition from the United States. He, therefore, asked the House to make it 17 1-2 per cent“ which would be a reduction of 2 1-2 per cent. as compared with the old tarim Mr. Mulock said that the duty on sole leather was a burden upon the poorer classes. Mr. Foster said that the duty of 12 cents per pound and-15 per cent. on that article had been reduced to 15 per cent., and that was a considerable reduction. ,He did not think it added tothe cost of shoes.‘ The item was passed as amended.

Without Additional Weight This Wheel enmnnr SALARIES. “n h m h“ e. 'm Smut.“- ONTARIO’S sepia-mar insisrass pass. Letters patent have recently been issued upon a new and useful improvement in bicycles which bids fair to revolutionize their construction in the near future. It has been the object of the inventor to duce a bicycle so constructed that it can be easily folded, and than take up less space when not in use or when being transported. This the-inventor has secured by makiu a fold in the frame, as shown in figure, at . Y.. and locking it at X X. , Thus the frame is strehgtheued and the several parts fully secured by easily and quickly adjusting locking mechanism. As this improvement has to do wholly with THE BICYCLE FOLDED. the frame, all the valuable parts of the ordin- ary patterns are retained and applied to the folding bicycle. ‘ That this invention is right in line with the demands of the times and will tend greatly to popularize cycling can be readily seen. One of the chief ob- jections to the bicycle as at present con- structed is the care and bother of it when not in use. When a saviugwin space is secured without materially affecting the symmetry and beauty of the bicycle as at present constructed, and without adding materially to its weight or cost, one can readily see the value of this invention and what a future it promises to this mode of. travel and sport. â€"â€".â€".â€"â€"â€".â€"â€". Transplanting Human Hair. In China human hair is actually trans- planted; aud those who engage in it, find ita remunerative occupation. This hair- plantmg business owes its prosperity to a superstition. Chinese physiognomists say .t-he eyebrows and whiskers of a mans are just as essential in their relations to his success in life, as his other qualifications, Ifthc eyebrows are thin, or his whiskers are sickly, «his luck, will be thin and his health will be poor. Therefore, in order to stop the train of bad luck, which Nature has unfortunately ordained for him, he orders his eyebrows changed or replauted by a hair-planting professor. . This is done by first carefully pulling out the rebellious or. unlucky hairs in the eyebrows. a spot of hair on the neck of the patient, or .behind his ears, that would suit for a fine eyebrow, and reduce the hairs down to the right length. A fine pair of sharp pincers is picked up with the left hand, and selecting a suitable-sized hair, the operator jerks’it out by the root, and with the right hand,_he quickly pierces a minute hole in the skin of the bald eyebrow in a slanting direction, and while the point of the needle-like instrument is still on the edge of the hole, the root of the pulled-up hair is carefully inserted. But if blood oozes out of it before the hair is planted, the hole will not be used on that day, for fear ofinflammation, and not sufficient nu- triment for the hair to take proper root. This operation is repeated until every hall in the eyebrows is replanted or enlarged. The patient usually experiences pain in the eyebrows for about twenty-four hours, after. which he goes out and shows himself 'to his friends. The professor charges more for planting eyebrows than for planting wniskers,because of the many varied degrees of slanting each hair in order to make the eyebrows look natural to the man, or to suit the ideas of the physiognomist. QUEEN VICTORIA’S TRAIN. Two ltcnullfully Fm-nlshcd Coaches- They are Feed on "or Contin- cutnl Journeys.

The carriage is lighted at night by four oil lamps fixed in brackets on the walls, while shaded reading lamps are also used. There are electric bells, and one of the Highland attendants travels in a sep- arate small compartment in front of the saloon. ' A short covered corridor connects the day saloon with the slee ing carriage, which is divided intoa suite 0 small rooms. The dressing room, which is hung in Japanese style, with bamboo on the floor, contains a white metal bath and a wash hand stand covcred with red morocco leather ; all of the toilet articles are of the same metal as the bath. The bedroom is decorated in gray and brown. There is a large bed for the Queen and a smaller one for Princess Beatrice, both of which were manufactured in the royal stores at Windsor, and all the bedding is bought fresh for each journey and taken away afterwards.
