admitted in these days, that the people Of this
country who pay the taxes and maintain the
government have right to know what Ia being
done by their public servants, It Ia contended
that the rule just quoted puts premium upon
slander and secret attacks upon character ANY
irresponsible person may attack the character Of
. nominee for ONCE under this rule without I'M
covering himself
One Of the strongest arguments for the aboli-
ton OF the executive sessions offered by those
Senators who oppose them is that the man nomi-
mated for public Office should have q Character
and reputation that will withstand open. dsy-
light assaults, and that he il entitled to know
who assails him. 1t is also claimed that the
public has right to know oil about treaties
with other governments, and to know the req
sons why this government enters into treaties
with others.

IL marriages sOlemniZed in his parish, and these
were Of his own congregation. The rules Of the
Catholic church prohibit the priest from marry
ing parties not belonging to his parish unless
party resides Ia given, and therefore runaway
couples do not find their way to his or other
churches Of that faith. As q rule priests will
not marry knowingly parties under age twenty
one and eighteen. The usual fee paid by the
grOOms Is IS or upwards, but there IL no fee
exacted, as 1t is considered q free Offering. DR..
Ryan, when his attention was called to the fact
that but few Of the Catholic clergy made
return after marrying parties to the clerk of the
court, said that 1t was not on account Of any
objection to doing 30, but probably was due to
carelessness. and to the idea. obtained from
having paper from the health office to fill. that
a return to the clerks Office was unnecessary.
He suggested that 1t would be q convenience If
certificate to the performance Of the marriage
were printed On the back OF the license. IA snch
certificate could be filled and returned to the
clerk OF the court with the license Al to the
certificate for the bureau of vital statistics he
thought some OF the questions should not be
asked the candidates for matrimony, and ought
to be omitted.
REV. HENRY BAILEY,
pastor ofthe Abyssinian (colored) Baptist church,
says that he has about twenty-five couples to
Land aud Virginia There is stated fee fol-
District couples-$S-but those from distance
pay whatever they please, and frequently moi
over so cents. He follows the old MARYLAND
act as to the matrimonial sge-16 for the girl and
81 for the man-and usually has to take the word
and appearance Of the candidates as proof o.
their age.
REV. DR. J. q. BUTLER,
Of Memorial Lutheran church, states that the
average number married BY him does not exceed
dozen year, but he turns away numbers. A
few come from Maryland and Virginia, and some
are evidently runaways, but he never knowingly
marries males under 81 or females under Il
years Of age. The fees given by persons resid
ing here Is generally Is, but the outsiders pay
but httle-a dollar OF two. He said
he filled out the blanks furnished b,
the board Of health 90 far as he could
get the information, and believed that mos,
ministers did SO. A few years ago some min.
listers were threatened with prosecution, and q
committee OF ministers had an interview with
the Commissioners. the result Of which was az
agreement to all cut the returns rs fully as they
could.

Winter in ManitOba.

Perhaps Il few hOmely details may
best serve to illustrate what winter in
Manitoba means. The snow outside
our house was from six to ten feet
deep from November to April. Trav-
elling, on wheels is, of course, out OF
the question, and we always used a
sleigh. the snow gets called and froz-
Ell hard and smooth along the trails,
and even if, as sometimes happens, the
horse sinks, and you upset, still clean
snow-drift is better than mud to fall
on. | tried to wear boots last Noyem
Der and one of my feet froze. MOcca-
sins, made by Indians, of mOose-skin
are nsed instead of shoes to cover the
feet, which are first cased in several
pairs of stockings. For travelling on
foot snow-shoes are best. These, too,
are of Indian make. They are gener-
ally fiat frames of thin wood from
two to six feet lOng-pointed in front
and rear, and filed up with interlaced
deer sinew. The moccasined foot OF
the wearer is tied on in the middle OF
the snow-shOe and after little prac-
| tice it is easy, so equipped, to walk five
miles across the snow. There is Il
snow -shoeing club in Winnipeg, where
the art is taught and practiced. Nit
| tens supersede gloves during the win
ter, as if the fingers are separated
| they generally freeze.
We were forced to melt snow for all
the water we used last winter. The
cold was so intense that when melted
snow water was poured from the boiler
into pail and taken ut once across t.
the stable, the ice on it frequently had
to be broken with stick before tn,
cattle could drink; it froze so hard
whilst being carried Il distance of sOmt
sixty yards in the open air. My hus-
band wOnld sometimes come in from Z
short visit to the stock yard with his
nose frozen indeed, it is rather com
mon sight to see people partly frozen
The part affected turns as white "a
marble, and loses all feeling. Unles,
you see yourself in glass, or are tolf
of it, you are not conscious of being
frozen. In this plight it is not best t.
