Although this has not resuited in any considerable decrease in the volumoof our foreign trade, yet owing to low prices and recent reducâ€" tions in and removal of taxation, it has been followed by a serious decrease in revenue derived from Customs and excise. In order to produce equilibrium between revenue and expenditure for the coming year, it will be necessary to observe the greatest possible economy in the appropriaâ€" mous for the various branches of the public service. During the period that has elapsed since the last session of Parliament, I have had an opportunity of visiting many portions Fifth Seasionâ€"Seventh Parliamez=t. _ The attendance on the floor of the: chamber at the opening of Parliament on Thursday, was not nearly so large as on previous occasions, neither was there such w rich display of ladies‘ costumes. Many of the dresses were very beautiful, and there was a great variety of tints, which helped to form a very pretty scene, to which additional color was lent by the rich uniforms of the officers. The gaileries were packed with spectators, who craned their necks to catch every detail of the ceremony as though they were viewing it for the first time. By the sudden and lamented death of the late Right Honourable Sir John Thompson, Cunada has sustained a grievous loss. The deep and heartfelt sympathy expressed by her Most (Gracions Majesty the Queen, and the manifestations of sorrow with which the distressing intelligence was received throughout the Empire, s well as tokens of esteem and respect everywhere paid to tk..ho memory of the decessed statesman, ave been greatly appreciated by the people of Canada. s T en Sutisfuctory assurances have been receivâ€" ed from Her Majesty‘s Government respectâ€" ing the interpretation of certain clauses in the treaty of commerce with France. Ratifications will be exchanged as soon as necessary legislation has been passed. The recent action of the Imperial Parliament, enabling the various Australasian Governâ€" ments to enter into preferential trade relations with the other selfâ€"governing colonies of the Empire, affords gratifying &dl that the suggestions of the Colonial {erence are being favorably entertained by Her Majesty‘s Government. _ ns M In response io the Usher of the Biack Rod, the Speaker of the Commons entered the chamber in formal state, while behind, in a confused mob, trooped a number of the members, pages, and officials of the House.

A London paper tells a story illustrating Queen Victoria‘s wellâ€"known strictness in the matter of precedence. As she was wbout to take & train with the Empress Frederick at Paddington station recently, she reached the door of her saloon carringe first ; she drew back at once, however, and motioned the Empress to go in before her The Empress protested, and for a few seconds there was a listle argument between mother and daughter as to which should have precedence, and the Queen laughingly insisting, the Empress finally entered beâ€" fore her mother. This was a striking example of the Quean‘s innetilliomnm in observing the rank of her daughter and guest. Concerning this matter of precedâ€" ence it seems a little odd that the Duchess of York, who is the mother of the probable future ruler of England, is yet quite low in the ranks at court, The Queen‘s daughters and daughtersâ€"inâ€"law all bave precedence of her;ier place at a deawingâ€"room is between the Duchess of Albany and the Duchess of Teck. One wonders, if her son shall reach the throne, whether her cank will be raised. Sir C. H. Tupper took the floor to reply to Sir Richard Cartwright. Hon gentiemen must amuse themselves with extraordinary . stories regarding | their opponents, and whatever truths there might have been in recent rumors, he (Tupper) had not been obliged to go to his constituents with a certificate of character as Cartwright had. Dealing with the question of trade, he pointed out how forâ€" tunate Canada had been as compared with other countries. Dealing with the Remeâ€" dial Order, it had to be put into dictationâ€" al, but not necessarily offensive language. He trusted no member of the Manitoba Legislature would for a moment be misled by the utterances of Mr. Lagrier,that there was any disposition on the part of the Government to assume the role of dictators, or to use language thas could be considered in the slightest degree disrespecttul. He agreed with Mr. Laurier that it would not be wise to thresh the question out uutil the Manitobs Legislature had taken action. Sir Richard Cartwright spoke for over an hour criticising Mr. Foster‘s excuses for the lateness of the session,and then launchâ€" ing into « condemnation of the tariff and the year‘s deficis. He thought the Govâ€" ernment was better known than trusted. While his speech was full of bitter invecâ€" tives, yet thete was a vein of humor runniag through the speech which kept the House laughing continuously. rockâ€"bound coast of Newfouncland, facing the billows of the stormy Atiantic, the whole would be included within Canadian Confederation. s * faint hopes on that acore. Hon. G. E. Foster heartily thanked Mr. Laurier for his kind and graceful words and compliments to the mover and seconder ot the address. As to the late calling of Parliament he did not think it such a grave charge, as Mr. Lauriee would make it appear. Frankly speaking, the rsal reasons, the only reasons, were three: The death of their lamaented chief, the Manitobs school question, which involved certain wction ou the part of the Government, which had been taken as promptly as Qouible, and thirdly the meeting ot the Newfoundiand Conference. The Finance Minister keenly scored Mr. Laurier for his blue ruin remarks and his attack on protection. Mr. Foster dealt particular with Mr. Laurier‘s critisme of the finances. He explained the exâ€" ceptional circumstances which led to & great falling off in revenue, aud claimed that, unlike the deficits under a Liberal regime, the present Conservative deficits were accompanied by reductions in the tariff, sugar tax for example. Referring to the French treaty, he said that it was oneâ€". ential to pass an act before the treaty could. be ratified. in order to remove certain Mr. Belliey of Chicoutimi second the address. Speaking in French on bebalf of the Roman Catholics of Quebec,he thanked the Government for the act of justice they hac rendered to the Catholic minority in Manitoba. Mr. Laurier,complimented the mover and , seconder on the manner in which they had discharged their duty. The Cabinet was divided into two factions, which were quarrelling and fighting, one in favor of & session, the other for dissolution. If they: had gone to the country now the Governâ€" ment‘s majority would have disappeared like anow in April, He reâ€"affirmed, howâ€" ever, that in calling Parliament so late the (Government had violated the unwritten law of the constitution, My friend from East Simcoe (Mr. Bennett) spoke eloquentâ€" lly and well and most feelingly on the death of Sir John Thompson. lymn reâ€".echo everything he said in that respect. The death of Nir John Thompson was a most shocking one. When a man is struck by tue hand of death in the fuiness of â€" his years after m long career, after a career of great usefulness to himsel{ and his country, there remains a feeling, even above the feeling of grief, that after all death has dealt kindly with bim. Coming to the Speech from the Throne, ho characterized it as drier than ever. A few clauses in it rapped against each other ominou«ly. _ The evile from which the counâ€" try was sulfering were not merely evancsâ€" cent. They were caused by the immense public debt and a high tariff, The Governâ€" ment had again promised an Insolvency Law which be thought, was a fit accompaniment of the National Policy. As to Newfoundâ€" land he reâ€"echoed every thing that appeared in the speech. Before Newfoundland enâ€" tered confederation the Imperial Parliament should be culled upon to settle the French shore question, because so long as it remain= ed unsettled we could not close our eyes to the fact that at any moment the whole confederation might be convulsed with one of those outhursts of sentiment which we had seen too often. Referring to the Manitoba school quesâ€" tion, he said the paragraph in the speech was very discreet, Mr. Lanriersaid that the language in which the Remedial Order was couched was most unfortunate, At & later period he (Laurier) would deal with this question more at length. Hehad been charged with all the crimes in the calendar, with wickedness, cowardice and incapacity. He acknowledged at once that it would lo very presumptuous for him to rueh in where the Government angels feared to tread. He had no desire to create political capital out of this question. When the Governâ€" ment brought in their measure, then he would speak. Before sitting down he deâ€" sired to extend to Mr. Foster his sincore congratulations for his promotion to the position of lexder of the kgmm; From the | bottom of his heart, he hoped that the Finance Minister could discharge the duties of his office with as great ability as those who had preceded him, but with more benmefit to the country, although he had faint hopes on that score. A Mixedâ€"Up Family. Hereare the raw materials for a headache: Dr. King, of Adelaide, a widower, married m Miss Norris,. Shortly after the doctor‘s honeymoon thedoctor‘sson married a wister of the doctor‘s wife. Thena brother of the doctor‘s wife married the doctor‘s daughter. In other words, the doctor‘s son became his stepmother‘s brotherâ€"inâ€"law, and the doctor‘s danghter became her stepmother‘s sisterâ€"inâ€"law. The doctor,by the marriageof his son to the sister ofthe doctor‘s wife, beâ€" camefatherâ€"inâ€"law tohisâ€"ister inâ€"law,andthe doctor‘s wife, by the marriage of her sister to her stepson, became stepmocherâ€"inâ€"law to her own sister.

In all the management of cows such conditions should be provided for and care given as will insure excellent health and apparent contentment. Feed should be supplied regularly ; and, when practicable, milking should be done by the same person and with regularity as to time. \ The quickest way to shrink cow‘s milk is to have a cross, surly milker, who gives her a slap instead of a caress, and never speaks to her except to scold or swear at her ; but it does not matter if he spesks never a word and is as dumb as an oyster, if he is cross and glum the cow knows it as soon as be comes near her or touches her, It does not need sound or hearing for inâ€" stinct to size a man up.

In this say be seen the advantage of ensilage and ut fodder for cows and fattening cattle d soaking corn for hogs. Dne great point of advantage in dairy farmâ€" g over almost all other specialties, says & recent writer, is that on the dairy farm the work is better divided. The grain harvest comes so close to haying that it often gets mixed up with it, to the detriment of both; but where corn is grown and pur into the wilo for dairy feed, and not so much or no grain ruised, the harvests are several weeks wpart. The wail that keeping cows is a poor business often comes from the man who compels his cows to seek their living on the dusty roadside, or upon scant, barren pasâ€" tures, with a short water supply all summer long, and at the side of a straw stack in winter, without proper shelter from cold storms,or suitable food with which to make proper paying returns. Don‘t get discouraged and give up dairyâ€" ingâ€"if you are doing the best you know howâ€"for something that pays better. There is no branch of farming that pays so well as dairying, and as for selling the farm and going into business in the cityâ€" don‘t. Go talk with those now engaged in business in the city, ask their advice ; if they are honest they will all say ‘"Don‘t." The failure of many of our public creamâ€" eries, and the disrepute into which a great deal of creamery butter has fallen, have all worked together to produce a healthful and lasting revival of interesi in the farm dairy. With modern improvements the farmer can now make the best butter in his own dairy. The nutritive ratio of wheat bran is the same as that of milk, while those of corn wod hay are enougn wider to restore skimâ€" milk to the ratio of whole milk.

On stubble fieldsâ€" there is often a good deal of food which if the fowis could be induced to forage sufticiently would amonut to a considerable quantity of feed. In some countries the young, growing fowls are housed in a small, lightly constructed building on wheels, of a weight not too savy for a horse to draw, and of asize to »sommodate from 50 to 70 chickens. . The The finest calves are produced by allowâ€" ing them to get the food from theirmothers in the natural way, but there is little to prove that these calves make better cows than those raised on skim milk and less expensive foods, If the cow is quiet, leave the calf with her for two days. If sheis rxcitable and frets tor her calf when taken «way, the sooner they are separated the better for both. _ Put the calf in a warm, dry place, where it cannot be seen or heard b7 the mother. â€" If it has not suckled give 1i two pints of warm milk from a bottle. I3 12 hours take a pail of milk, freshly irawn from its mocher, and teach the oalf to drink by letting it suck the fingers, As »oon as it begins to relish the food gradually withdraw the fingers from its meuth until it. drinks, keeping the hand on its nose. Then: take the band away and the calf quickly learns that its food is in the parl and not in the hand. _ A calf will learn in from one to four leswons according to it« intelligence. birds are quartered in it and drawn to the field, where they ace fed once or twice in the house to accustom them to it. Then they are supplied with plenty of water and turned upon the stubble, changing them about to fresh forage as often as they seem to require new ground, to find suffiâ€" cient of the fallen grain. If the house be built of halfâ€"inch matched bourds, it will be found light enough to be moved easily, und will prove quite asaving in feed from year to year. During the winter months, when other more important work is not pressing, time may be put to good advantage by conâ€" structing such amovable poultry house. AGRICULTURAL, MOVING THE POULTRY HOUSE, On Raising Calves. Dairy Notes The very highest clouds, those called cirrus and cirrostratus, rise to the average height of about 30,000 feet. A second clas keep at a height of from 10,000 to 23,000 feet above the earth, while the lower clouds usually float at a beight seldom exceeding 5,000 feet. In the case of the last mentionâ€" ed class of clouds the lower surface may be at a height not exceeding 3,000 to 4,000 feet, while their towering summit will be removed from the earth by not less than 16,000 feet. Professor Moller says that the vertical dimensions.of a cloud willpften exâ€" ceed 10,000 feet, and that he has observed those which he had every reason to believe were not less than 25,000 feet thick. After a short time of this display of glee, he apparently became tired, and stooping down on three legs, he began to rub the head of the serpent on the hard ground. He would rub awhile, then, with much. seriousness, examine the head. _ Then rub it again, Blood began to drip over his band. This rubbing and examining he repeated again und again, until he had completely rubbed off the head of the cobra. Then, with much chattering and apparent glee, he dropped the writhing body to the ground and scampered off to join his companions in a neighboring grove. j ‘The astonishing scene is indescribable. There were loud hissings, mingled with chatterings and almost screechings, as the monkey danced and leaped in frenzied delight. With many odd grimaces and queer wrinklinfg of the brow, the monkey seemed almost frantic. He would stop his wild contortions and seriously examine the head and eyes and protruding tongue, again grin and dance about. But stranger movements soon followed. ‘The hand of the monkey again moved toward the venomous reptile. Is he going to seize the creature? . Thoughts of his danger came thick and fast, as almost riveted to the ground I watched. Suddenâ€" ly with the quickness of lightning, the monkey grasped the serpent around the neck, close to the head, in such a manner as to render it impossible to inflict its deadly bite, while its body encircled his arm. My first impulse was to dispatch the serpent with a stout cane. On second thought, I concluded to watch the monkey and see what it would do. I never wit» nessed uuyt.hin%mmorc interesting than the actions of that beast, Me slowly left his perch in the forks of the tree and quietly, with great caution, moved downward toward the serpent until he had npfiroa.ched with in two feet of the reptile. e looked like a solemn old man, curiously moving his head from sideto side,as it closely inspecting the object before him. Then he took a firmer hold of the tree with onearmand wrapped his tail closeâ€" around the trunk. _ He reached forth his hand until it was within six or eight inches of the serpent and quickly withdrew it again. I was much excited, and wondered if he knew the dangerous character of his adversary. _ Was he playing unknowingly with death ? I could scarcely refrain from rushing to his rescue,but resolved to await the issue and watch the strange proceedâ€" a crusade may well be directed. Tea drinkâ€" ers should be taught how to prepare the beverage properly, so that it will be comâ€" paratively innocuous, and should be warned that such decoctions as they bave been making are nothing else than rank poisons. Physicians doubtless give such advice to their patients whom they find sutfering from tem intoxication, But the mistress of the household should give it to her domestics, and enforce it upon them, too ; the city missionary and dispenser of charity among the poor should make the same fracts known to all whom they visit.

This monkey seemed more daring than his fellows, and did not appear the least disturbed at my presence. cause in this city alone is to be reckoned by thousands, 1t is high time for the evil to be recognized and checked, The Dangerous Reptile Strangled by Its Courageous Enemy. One day I was much disturbed by the unusual chattering of a troop of monkeys, in India, & short distance from my bungaâ€" low, writes a traveler. _ I proceeded to the scene of their uproar, when they fled in wild disorder, with their young clinging to the females by the neck, 1 looked around to find, if possible, the cause of their trouâ€" bles. The evil of tea drinking is due, however, not only to the amount consumed, but also to the manner in which it is prepared. . An unmeasured quantity of the leaves, says Dr. Wood, is thrown into the teapot, and an unmessured quantity of boiling water added. In any time from ten to thirty minutes this infusion is used. Then new leaves are thrown in with the old, which have been left to soak, and more water is added, and so on, Sometimes leaves are thus kept souking for A PAY OR MORE, The result is that the qecoction is loaded, not only with thein, but with from 7 to 17 per cent. of tamnin, and with other even more deleterious substances. . This form of preparation is almost universal among kitchen servants and among shop and factory girle, who also are great tea drinkâ€" ers, and is too often practised among other people of small means, who do not wish to waste a single leaf as long as there is any. *"@trength" in it. ‘ OVERâ€"INDULGENCE IN TEA, and that presumption, on inquiry, is conâ€" firmed by their confessions, They suffer suffer from headache, vertigo, insomnia, palpitation of the heart, mental confusion, nightmare, nausem, hallucinations, morbid depression of spirits, and sometimes from suicidal impulses, surely a formidable list of symptoms. . These patients are of both sexes and all ages, and confess drinking from a pint and a halt to fifteen pints of tea each day, . Another interesting fact is that nearly oneâ€"third of them are of Irish birth, and it is safe to assume that of the nearly twoâ€"thirds of American birth, a large proâ€" Yort.ion are of Irish parentage. For in reland itself teaâ€"poisoning has long been recognized as a widely prevalent evil, contributing largely to tie number of inmates of insane asylums; and here, as most housekeepers know, the most invetâ€" erate and inordinate tea drinkers are the domestic servants of Irish origin. It is an interesting question, worthy of investigation, whether th:s prevalence of tea intoxication among that race is because they use tem more free‘y than other people, or because their nervous temperament is more suscepâ€" tible to its effects. + A Crasade Against This Intemperate Habit Among the Needs of the Day. No longer, it appears, may we speak of tea as the cup which cheers, but not ineâ€" briates, It may, indeed, still cheer. _ It certainly does not inebriate with most deâ€" plorable effects ; ranking, as an intoxicant, a good second to alcohol itself. Many lay observers have long suspected that such was the case. _ Their suspicions are now confirmed by professional authorities in a manner so startling as to make it seem desirable that concerted action should be taken to check the evil. To some perhaps the idea of a temperance crusade against the teapot will appear grotesque. _ Yet, in all seriousness, that very thing is urgently needed. 3 According to statistics recently furnished to the Medical News by Dr. James Wood, of Brooklyn, of all the patients applying for treatment at the chief dispensary of that city, no less than 10 per cent. are teaâ€" drunkards. _ They are not aware of the fact. _ No one asks to be cured of what we may call theamania, _ But the symptons of their cases point unmistakably to Agniij'ut. this particular phase of the evil A MONKEY KILLS A COBRA.

A lady ! It had never came into the little girl‘s head to think whether she werea lady or not. But she knew that since Gilbert Carrollâ€"a particularly nice boy, who had lately moved near them, and come to their schoolâ€"had begun bowing politely to her, she had felt more concern about her own manners. "He‘s just so in everything." went on Agnes, ‘"If you drop anything he runs to pick it up for you,.

In so many words she said: " Life was becoming unâ€" bearable. I was so cranky I was really ashamed of myself.

South American Nervâ€" ine must cure, because it operates at once on the nerve centres. These nerve centres nre the source from which emanates the life fluid that keeps all organs of the body in proper repair. Keep these nerve centres sound and disease is unknown. There is no trick in the business. Everyâ€" thing is very simple and common sense like. South American Nervine strengthens the digestive organs,tones up the liver, enriches the blood, is peculiarly eflicacious in building up shattered and nervous constitutions. It never fails to give relief in one day, common to this complaint. South American Nervine was recormmend» d to me as a safe and effective remedy for all such cuses. I used only two bottles, and am pleased to testify that these fully cured me, anc I have had no indication of & return of the trouble since. _ I never fail to recommend the Nervine to all my friends troubled with indigestion or nervousness, CGALBRAITH CHARLEY LEAVENS, " Mas.
