In the Canadian House of Assembly,
last week, they had quite spirited de-
bate on the bill to prohibit the use OF
hoops and crinoline, introduced by Mr..
Aiken. We publish few Of the most
brilliant passages. sod
Mr.. Drummond was an ardentadmirer
Of hoops from childhood He was born
with love of hoops. When he was
child of tender growth, he used to trun-
die his hoop, all unconscious of the fate
that was in store for him. Later in life
he had swallowed ring which resulted
in hoop-in-cough; and even now the

the honorable member from Lake Onta-
rio could not but be aware that the char
acter Of every member in the House was

Mr.. Ross protested against Interrupt
