Il would be a good thing if they all
initiated this serenity. 1t would be
patriotic not to exaegerate the perils
Of an undertaking which was not be-
yond the strength Of France, not to
spread bad news, not to call upon the
Government in the midst of war
(ironical cheers from The Right to
submit the numbers of the forces and
the plans of the negotiations. { proar.)
"We are responsible" added NJ. Fer
~, ''for the undertaking. You gave
it to us, let us conduct it with the Sc
crecy which is desirable. In what
country or when were military Or
Diplomatic affairs ever conducted in
this fashion7 Must we daily report
where our troops are, what are their
objects, what are the bases of the ne
EQUATIONS pending? If you want
such "A Government choose another
one" cloud cheers from the Centre
and Lcft)
NJ. Lockroy.-"Tbat is not what
we ask" NJ. Ferry.-"You ask whe-
ther we have changed our plan of
campaign whether we have grated
a second expedition on the first. No,
we have not we have strengthened
our garrisons, to give our policy,
which is defensive and not offensive,
the sanction of military support"
As to the credits being put down
to the Admiralty and not to the War
Office, this was simply to secure unity
of direction. To i~nsinuate that it be-
tokened disagreement in the Cabinet
was i'll serving the national cause.
NJ. Lockroy, in reply, denied that
he was playing the game of the enc
my or thatit was unpatriotic to discuss
credits applied for by the Government.
NJ. Granet, another Extremist,
blamed the Government for not con-
vening Parliament in the autumn, and
for marching on a town garrisoned by
the Chinese They had, moreover,
misled the Chamber by repr .%senting
themselves as masters Of the Delta
and by describing the negotiations as
on the point Of succeeding. AS for
the imputation of assisting the enemy,
deputies in all free countries had u
right to call for full explanations The
Chamber should not endorse an I'M
known, ~unavowed enterprise, nor sup
port a Cabinet Systematically ambigu-
Gus, and not honest enough to reveal
it's object. The President here called
NJ. Granet to order, stating that he
was not entitled to describe the Gov
eminent as dishonest.
NJ. Perrin, likewise an Extremist,
remarked hat the vaunted treaty of
1874 was merely the right of the
stronger, and successive Cabinets had
deferred it's enforcement TO a favour
able opportunity. The Government,
fancying the time had arrived, had
moved forward, but China had done
the same, and wan was nov almost
inevitable. He did not advocate i'm
mediate withdrawal from Tonquin,
but there was still time to disclaim
the conquest of it. There was no in
terest in extending French possessions
in Indo,China, and the seizure Of Ton
quin would not be a good investment,
seeing that France could not utilize
her existing colonies. The wal could

sTgEf kIrOning Collars.

Now that the wearing of linen collars
is once more universal. a few lines on the
proper way Of ironing them may be ac-
ceptable. The best means to insure sue
cess is to use raw starch, mixing it to a
smooth paste first. and then adding as
much water as needed for the articles
without Its being too thin. Do not merely
pass them through the starch, but with
very clean hands rub them as if washing
them; but not too hard so that the starch
is well soaked in. Wiring them or rather
squeeze them out. not too tightly, allow
ing no powder OF the starch to be seen
on the surface. Having ready clean
cloth folded double and long enough
to let the collars lie fiat. These
should be placed singly, and the cloth
folded down once on it, then another
collar, then the cloth folded down again,
and so on until they are all done. Fold
the long roll then in half and give it a
sharp twist, in which shape it must be
left for some hours. If not LETT long
enough they will not iron so well. But
they must on no account be allowed to
dry. Have ready some irons very hot,
only Just not to scorch. And let there
be enough irons not to have to wait for
second when the first is cool. These
must be very clean and with a good
polish. To insure the latter have piece
of beeswax. and when the iron is taken
of the fire rub it over with the beeswax.
and then rub the iron on some crushed
salt and it will run smoothly. Now on
the ironing sheet lay clean thin cloth, a
handkerchief will do. Lay a collar on
this. fold over part of the handkerchief
and iron quickly from one end tn the other
two or three times to dry it little.
While still steaming take off the hand
kerchief stretch the collar with the hands,
and iron briskly on the right side straight
across. If the iron is not hot enough,
or the collar to dry, the starch
will stick. When the right side is smooth,
without creases. turn it on the other side
and iron it more slowly so as to dry it
thoroughly. The irons require constant
renewing. as the damp cools them quick
ly. If any starch appears on the iron it
must be scraped off with knife before
going back to the fire. They heat better
on stove or kitchener than in front of
the fire, as often they are blackened by
jets of flame or smoke caused by draught.

Apple culture in Iowa is one OF the most
difficult as well as the most desirable pur-
suits in the whole field of horticulture.
There are many reasons why this is true.
To verify the first statement all that is
necessary is to take short drive in the
country and note the dead and dying or
chards. To demonstrate that it is the most
desirable pursuit is similar to proving an
axiom, one statement is all that it requires.
