The question of reciprocity between Can
ada and the United States, the discussion of
which was for time suppressed when the
American Commissioners refused to make it
a part of the fishery negotiations, is as much
a burning issue as ever in Canada. Last
week fierce debate was precipitated in the
Dominion House Of Commons by resolu.
ton proposed by Sir Richard Cartwright,
and which called for unrestricted reciprocity
with the United States. The question is
made very largely party question, the Lib
erals fayoring it. while the Macdonald To-
ries oppose. The discussions in Parliament
are reported at great length, and commented
on in the papers with spirit that shows
great popular interest in the matter. This
interest is in marked contrast with the in
difference with which the proposition is
looked upon on this side of the line.

The arguments before the Supreme Court
in the telephone cases were closed February
IA, 1887, and the cases submitted to the court
for decision. Ali the cases were consoldat-
ed so that all the questions raised against
the validity Of the Bell patent were finally
settled by the decision of the court, an
nounced yesterday. That decision sustains
completely the Bell patent at every point,
and disposes finally of questions of want of
novelty and of fraud in procuring the pa
tent. Mr.. Garland's Pan-Electric Compa-
ny, as well as all the other telephone compa-
mics, except the Bell, are smashed by this de-
cision. The administration, which under
took, In behalf of the Pan-Electric gang, to
break down the Bell patent, will hardly
find the opinion of the court consoling. The
pretence that it was necessary for the gov
eminent to undertake its suit to protect the
rights of the public is nonsense, for all the
questions raised in the Pan-Electric suit had
been raised in other cases already before the

The Manitobans have won in their con-
test with the Dominion government and the
Canadian Pacific road. They are to have
their railroad, and the Canadian Pacific mo-
nopoly is to be bought off to the tune of
100000 An intimation from the imperial
government that it would not sanction any
act that might precipitate rebellion in the
Northwest softened Sir Johns obdurate
heart and made the Canadian Pacific willing
to exchange its monopoly for cash. The
already overburdened Canadian taxpayers,
especially those of the maritime provinces,
who will have to pay the $6,0Oo,OOO will not
be altogether happy, but they may take
what consolation is to be found in the refiec-
ton that had rebellion broken out in the
Northwest it would have cost good deal
more than $4,000 600 to put it down.

The death of Senator Hippoyte Carnot, of
France, which occurred last week, recalls
fact that seems very strange in America,
that some Of the brightest and most promi-
nent men on the Continent have been social
lists. Senator Carnot, who was father of
President Sadi-Carnot, was the son of that
even more famous Carnot, who was war
minister of the French Revolution. AS a
young man Hippolyte Carnot was in close
sympathy with the views of the disciples Of
ST. Simon. the founder of the famous school
of Socialists as well as a distinguished sol
der of the American Revolution. Carnot
not only professed but publicly advocated
socialism with his pen. As he grew older,
however, and as the theories of the socialists
grew holder, he modified his views. As a
politician he was an ardent Republican; and
lost his seat in the National Assembly of
1852 because he would not take the oath of
allegiance to Louis Napoleon. Since 1875 he
has been life Senator of France.

In letter to the Connecticut Home. a
Prohibition organ, Gen. Neal Dow says,
speaking Of the Portland election
Our defeat was practical victory. Our vote
was ten times larger-nearly-than that of last
year.
The Prohibition vote last year was 95
Gen. BOWS vote this year was 1884; 9S4
votes of this number apparently Gen. Dow
credits to the Democrats. and the balance,
950-ten times 95-to the Prohibitionists.
But the aggregate vote for the Prohibition
ward tickets, which were distinct. was only
425. This is the true test of the strength Of
the Prohibition vote. 425 i. less than five
times the vote Of a year ago. But the vote
OF year ago did not represent the Third
Party strength. The previous year it had
thrown 1884, and the year before that 436, or
eleven more than it threw this year. Gen.
Dow has happy faculty of seeing things as
he wants to, but he can convince nobody ac-
quainted with the facts that the Third Party
strength increased this year ten times over
last or at all over what il was in 1885,

The Boston Boys Culture,


 The small boy is always curiosity, and not iafrequently is he pretty amusing. The young Boston boy Is not infreQuently wonder as we'll The six -year-old boy of a wealthy and self- -made-dweller on Back Bay was the other noon dining with his governess, when, to her amaxement, she not having been long enough in the family to be accustomed Co his manners, he said sharply to the ser want who WAS waiting upon tho table {;
 "Take that soup of and send 1t down stairs. It Is not properly cleared. The cook has no right to send me such soup, and i shaii report her to mamma"
 The maid, evidently trained to obey his behests, meekly removed the offending dish, and the meal proceeded in silence until the waiter, In an Ill., judged attempt to soothe the wounded feelings of the precocious little wretch, laid her hand gently upon his hair. Thereupon burst of indignant wrath warned her that the sacred person of her young master was not to be trlfled with. He demanded an apology for this unwarrantable familiarity, and received 1t with cold condescension as painful to see as it was unchildlike and unhealthy.

 Another small boy In the same re- zion displayed whimsical regard for etiquette on a recent occasion, which he must have absorbed from the Bos- ton air, since he had never been taught any thing SO absurd at home. He was standing with his mother by the win dow one morning, when playmate of his own age, who with his little sis ter was standing at his window on the opposite side of the street, nodded to him. Tom did not return the salute, but looked confused, and when Jack nodded again he began to blush.

False Notions About Eating.
Springfield Union.

It has been an old wives notion from way back that certain kinds of food must be avoided because they tend to produce certain kinds of dis case. This notion has been fostered by alleged physicians who publish health journals, and are always laying down rules about living which, if anyone undertook to follow literally and scrupulously, would make life bur den from the cradle to the grave. Some years ago Dr. bio Lewis, who was regarded as somewhat of health expert, announced that tomatoes were unhealthy, were the cause of cancer, loosened and destroyed the teeth, etc.
 For generations boys and girls had been warned not to eat SO much butter or their faces would break out with "butter sores." It Is an old time tradi- tion that buckwhcat cakes are pro- ductive of skin diseases, and the Scotch are said to be cursed with the itch be- cause they cat 80 much oatmeal. Dr. James c. White, professor of derma- tology in Harvard university, in a AC+Nhb 6t tAtV VII utstshHE bricks some of these annoying tradi- tion bubles. He says that uncookcd butter Is perfectly harmless food so far as the skin is concerned, and it is difficult to conceive how anyone could have thought otherwise, unless, possi- bly, the use of bad butter sn .ood otherwise indigcstible may have dis turbed the stomach and produced im- pure blood. Buckwheat cakes do not produce cutaneous diseases, unless i'm properly cooked and eaten hot with too much syrup, they upset the di- gestion. Oatmeal is perfectly harmless food, and the idea that tomatoes cause cancer is ridiculous. Dr. White says that the eating of fruits, nuts and fish may lead to irritation of the skin In certain individuals, but this arises from some cause peculiar to the indi- vidual. The notion that certain kinds of food are detrimental to the com- plexion is false one. A good diges- tion and healthy appetite will take care of the skin, and 1t matters little what one eats, If the stomach is allow ed to do its work properly and fur nish good materials for pure blood.
