years in the house. Samuel 5. Cox has
served eighteen w. ID. Kelly has served
eighteen, Speaker Randall has served

is little more than an antiquity.
Once Carlyle went to visit one Of his
early pupils in the country. As bed
time drew near the host said: ..Now,
Mr.. Carlyle, we are going to have fam
lily worship" thinking that perhaps he
would like to withdraw before the SER
vice began; but he quietly answered:
swell, bring me the book and I'll read
it for you" Taking the Bible in his
lap he began with the first chapter of
the book of job. For q time it was de-

Chancellor Crosby, in answer to the
Rev. DIR. Cuyler's criticisms on his re-
cent Boston lecture on moderate drink
ing, says in the Independent, among
other things: "You think my declara-
that moderate drinking leads one to
drunkenness is an atrocious dogma, is
an extraordinary and dangerous declar.
alton. 1t Is a~trocious, for it implies
that every moderate drinker is on the
road to drunkenness. 1t implies that
our Lord travelled that road. Don't
wriggle out Of that with the foolish two
wine theory; that devise is t~hreadbare.
If you mean by moderate drinking the
immoderate drinking of the liquor
saloon, or the jovial party, then you are
right. Most teetotalers have no idea
Of moderate drinking other than tip
pling. The phrase Immediately sug-
gests to them two fools slipping liquor
on a treat. But 1 use moderate drink
ing for just such drinking as our Lord
practised. To say this leads to drunk
enness is 'atrocious.' However we diff
fer, I am always your cordial friend
and brother"
Lord Arlington-formerly Mr.. Henry
Gerard Sturt M. P.-and one of the
new peers created by Lord Beaconsneld,
has a famous farm at his estate at
Critchell, In Dorset, the speciality of
which is that all the birds and animals
are white. 1t is not an uncommon
thing to see between two and three
hundred white pigeons perched on the
outbuildings; just inside the entrance
you observe a white peacock, further
on are white squirrels and geese, the
white goats and the white turkeys; the
stalls In the yard contain no beasts but
white ones. A fat white doe, given to
Lord Arlington some years ago by the
queen, strides about In the we'll Uttered
stall, and just by the hutches in which
the long furred white rabbits frisk and
play about like Cowper's tame hares, is
a model house containing white rats
and mice, a present fro mthe Prince of
Wales. Even the cat and cockatoo be-
longing to the farm keeper are white.
There is q dog at Brighton, England,
a remarkable dog, a large maltese.
Sometimes that dog has a purple body,
with a yellow head and a green tail;
sometimes he is scarlet and puce. He
is q kind OF rainbow dog. The fact is
he belongs to a dyer in the town, and
being naturally white he takes any 9TH
er color easily, and now he gets a dip
in mi vat and then in another, and he
forms a sort of canine advertisement.
1t Is fun to see this dog, who is quite
unconscious Of his distinguished con.
dition, come up to other dogs wagging
his green tail and yellow head, and the
way that those dogs, after regarding
him out Of the corner of their eyes for
a minute, tuck their tails between their
