maps Of its leader, although it must be admitted
that Mr.. Gladstone is an instance of the con-
trary: and have often thought that there
ought TO be deputy speaker, who would re-
place the speaker after he has been in the chair
-FOUR or hve hours The average member Of
parliament however, has a very easy time of
IL. lie drops down to the house about o'clock
and iistens TO questions" Then he goes away
unless there is likely to be division before

eoery one Is dining. This goes on until about
