1t is surprising how every
body rushes at q fainting per-
son and strives to raise him up,
and especially to keep his head
erect. There must be an in
stinctive apprehension that if

bent position death is more i'm
minent. / must have driven a
mile to-day while a lady faint
ing was held upright. / found
her pulseless, white, and appa-
rently dying, and / believe that
if I had delayed ten minutes
longer she would really have
died. I laid her head down on
a lower level than her body, and
Immediately color returned to
her lips and cheeks, and she be-
came conscious. To the excit-
ed group of friends I said /: AL
ways remember this fact-name-
III: fainting is caused by a want
of blood in the brain ; the heart
ceases to act with sufficient force
to send the usual amount of
blood to the brain, and hence
the person loses consciousness
because the function of the brain
ceases.
Restore the blood to the brain
and instantly the person recov-
ers. Indeed, Nature
teaches us how to manage the
fainting persons, for they always
fall, and frequently are at once
restored by the recumbent posi-
ton into which they are thrown.
On the 18th and 10Th of last
month, Siena, Italy, was visited
by a series of alarming earth
quake shocks. The soldiers
were all turned out of the bar
racks and the people rushed out
of the houses on to the Liza
for safety. The houses rocked /;
the plaster came tumbling down
the chimneys. The shocks were
repeated, some strong, some

PARLIAMENT AND THE LAND ACT


IoNDoN. March 2.-In the House Of Commons
this evening Mr.. Sexton CHomo Rule) resumed the
debate on Mr.. Gladstone's resolution In regard to
the committee of the House of Lords appointed to
inquire into the working of the Land Act. Mr
Sexton criticised the administration Of the Land
Act He stated that out of 10000 applications to
the Land Court only 1913 cases had been decided
within the past three months, the result being that
1t would take years 10 adjudicate the entire
number Meantime, the tenants whose cases
remain undecided would be compelled to continue
to pay back rents Mr. Sexton concluded by point
ing out that hitherto the provisions of the Land
Act requiring the erection of cottages for laborers
have been almost entirely neglected
Mr. Healy favored the inquiry into the working
of the Land Act.
Mr. Porter LibcraN, member for Londonderry
said that the action of the House of Lords was I'M
p1cccdcnt,d. The Government could not be salts
fled by the simple assurance of n
committee that would not inquire into
the judicial administration of tho Land
Act Tie action Of the House of Lords he said, was
merely for the purpose Of laying the foundation for
a demand for compensation
The statement included in tho llOuse OF Lords
Committees invitation to Mr.. Forster. Chief Secre-
ary for ireland, to give evidence i'll their inquiry
into he working of the Land Act, Was that the
committee does not consider It within the scope OF
it's inquiry to discuss the correctness of the Com
miSsiOners' decisions.
The Times says:
This pledge appears 10 fully cover the ground marked
out in Mr. Gadsionc's declaration moving postpone
of the orders of the day in favor OF his rcsonon
in the House of Commons on the 27 ult, mat II the J
dical administration OF the act were 20 be excluded from
the scope Of he inquiry of the House of Lords Commit
tee hc would be prepared To abstain from moving his
resolution. etc The statement OF the committee
amounts practically q surrender Of the position taken
III IN the debate raised by Lord DOnoughmore. We
fail to see how, uuless the pledges thus given were
broken any of the evils Orccastcd by Mr. Gladstone
coud arise after the OF offer founded upon
his own.
