SCIENTIFIC SUFFRAGE. The British colony of Tasmania is a large island lying just south of the Aus- tralian continent. Last year it adopted a substantial measure of Proportional Repre- A letter from Miss Catherine Helen Spence, of Scuth Australia, gives sentation. the following ihteresting particulars : “Tasmania is governed by an upper house of about sixteen members and lower house of about thirty-two, called the legislative council and the legislative amembly respectively. The city of Ho- bart (the capital), elects six assemblymeu and four councillors. The city of Lauuse- ston returns fo'ur assemblymen and three councillors. “At the last session of the legislature the assembly passed an Electoral Act which contained a provision that the as- sembiymen and councillors from the Ci of Hobart and Launceston should be elected by the HafeSystem of Propor- tional Representation.

Any council electing a warden for two years will discover that his election for the second year is null and void. Canada supplies 4,000,000 of the 310,- 000,000 lbs. of butter imported by Great Britain. But when Canadian agriculture gett a fair show Britons will get more and better Canadian butter. The farmer is going to have a fair share of attention henceforth. The proposal of the New York board of health to class consumption as a contag- ious disease and demand the isolation of those affected has raised a storm of protests. It is estimated that there are 20,000 families in New York that would come order the law. The protests come not from laymen only, but from some of the leading physicians of the city. That story of the Rosseau man, who two hours after his father’s deith buried the body in a hole, like a dog, and next day dug it up again to search for money, 1! a terrible revelation of callous brutality. After his own admission as to the burial one would not be surprised to hear that he was guilty of the graver offence of which he is suspected. re- all t. The January number of “Money and Risks” contains a most interesting history of the Canada Life Assurance Company, from 1847 to 1896, illustrated by portraits of the directors, officers and agents, from Hugh C. Baker. the founder, onward. The history was prepared for the semi- centennial of the company, the first policy having been issued October 29th, 1847. When the St. Thomas Times remarks that ”there is a certain proportion of people in every community who could pay if they would avoid certain extrava- gance: which disable them from so doing,” it touches the solution of much of the debt troubles of the day. If people would resolve to pay their debts before indulg- ing in avoidable expenditure there would not be so much grumbling about the debt collecting laws. More rugged honesty is what is needed, not repeal of laws which compels the scouudrels to disgorge. Dundee Banner : Hugh John McDon aid made a great fight when he beat Joseph Martin in the general elections last June. And everybody said it was a remarkable thing, if Manitoba was so de. termined that she should not be coerced in sciwol matters, that she should elect Hugh John instead of Joe. it turned out lhat the must unblushing bribery had been. used and all sorts of corrupt prac- lives emnmitted.

According to the figures given “during 1896 the total number of persons imprisoned in the jails of Maine was 6,105. Of this total, 3,049, or nearly half, were committed for drunkenness." The latest book of “Criminal Statistics" for Canada, however, gives the total number of convictions for indictable and summary offences in 1895 for the whole Dominion as 37,585, of which 11,558 were for drunkennessâ€" much less than one-third. Maine has probably about 800,000 population, a little over one- eighth that of the Dominion, yet it had little less than one-sixth the number of imprisonments, and less than one-fourth ir ’ discouraging one for Canadians. The famine now prevailing in India recalls Mecauiay's description of the great famine of 1770, for which Lord Clive was blamed, though he had left the country some time before it occurred. In the summer of 1770, Msceulsy says: 'the rains foiled : the earth was parched u ; the tanks were empty; the rivers agnnk within their beds. and sfsminc such as is known only in countries where every household depends for support on its own little patch of cultivation. filled the whole vslle of the (lenses with misery and deal. .

In an Oddfellowl' suit Chancellor Boyd has given judgment holding that a beneficiary order may by by-law reduce the amount of weekly sick benefit payable to the members, although no reduction may be made in the assessments on the members.

By some it lssaid to have been derived from the Danish bondespll. a rustic game, from middle English, bonds meaning a farmer, or a rustic, and spll being the same as the G:r man spiel, agame. By others 1515 asserted to come from bond, verbcnd. a covenant. an alliance, and $061, a game, meaning a match between two opposite parties, as two towns or cities, at archery. golf, curl- ing, etc.. but is now generally restricted to the game of curling.

The Hoogiey every day rolled down thousands of corpses close to the porticos and gardens of the English can uerors. The very streets of Calcutta were locked up by the dying and the dead.

The extent of the mortality was never ascer- tained, but it was per ularly reckoned by millions.” ' Hon. William Mulock, the postmaster- general, is helping Mr. Graham in North Ontario.
