91' .y. t " " press. Generally speaking. the idea is viewed with distinct favor, " it is pointed out that the young men of the old land can, and do, go out in the eolonicsableto tight their own way and become acclimatiZed under con. ditions which few gently nurtured girls could stand, while on the other hand, it these tame girls could only be given the chance to accustom thent, ht'in'S to the new life they would make the best possible help-mates and life companions " the young men who are building up the country, and who find it modiitiettlt to get wives in their own ilnlllt'h'. "The Canadian Prairies," says the Leeds Mercury for example, "form an excellent iicld tor trying the I expeniment of a training institution. No I; tter climate can be found, the soil is fluittul and land so cheap that We are told one scason's successful crops will cover, not only the cost of purchase, but the. outlay on production. Uh the experimental farms the intend- ing lady colonists will be initiated in dairying, gardening, poultry rearing, bee keeping, bread making, cooking, washing and other household work. What an admirable heln-mate a Lady thus trained must make to the young colonists ot whom we have been spak- ing. There are no tlttlmt mates for these young fellows unless they come in this way. With the aid of such women labor would be sweetened, and the old home life with its comforts and dignity made “some under new conditions." Passes For Members. A brief but interesting discussion: took p ace in the House of Commons on Thursday afternoon upon a bill intro. duced by Mr. Bostock ct Yale-Cariboo, which proposed to make it compulsory upon all railways to issue free passes over their systems to members of Par liament. The question is one that was made a prominent icature in the Patron platform a iew years ago, and there is itti" doubt that that organization voiced a widely prevailing idea in the country that the free passes granted by the railwavs to members oi Par, linment were not given entirely on account of the affection the railways felt " the members but in anticipatory acknowledgement ot favors that were hoped " lit time to come. Whatever Inav have been the original motive which led to the custom, tllvt'e is " shin-Iv no evidence that members are unduly "mtittcnctyl to iivor the railways, at, the same time the couten- I tion ofthe supporters of this tiieasure.

But we were disappointed this time foe all the pigs charged back through the heaters and sent, them into another wood, We took different stations again and waited the result.
