"1HEY SAY"

sThey say is a common liar,
And she goeth up and down,
And her tongue Is tongue of fire
In the homes OF all the town.
Alike in howell and palace,
And on the broad highway,
To our lips poisoned chalice
She lifts by night and day.
What falsehood coins she uttersl
Her breest, tits SANDERS seat;
And gossip's filthy cutters
Are tracked by her vagrant feet
Over lives as pure and blameless
And white as the winter SHOWS,
Suspicious unnamed and nameless
Her passing shadow throws.
Lol where is feeble brother,
Borne down in the deadly strife
That we wage with one another-r
With stab she seeks his life.
And where one sits lone and lonely,
AS the widowed years go by,
She cometh, but cometh only
To beguile, and then belle,
The fame that virtue prizes,
The wreath that honor wears,
She soils with her dark surmises,
With her tainted fingers tears.
Then curse me the cruel liar
Who goeth her evil way,
And curse me the tongue OF fire
That blasts with breath They sayr

Composition of Quicksand.

Quicksand differs from ordinary sand
in being largely made up of very small
particles of mica largely mixed with
water. The mica is so smooth that the
fragments slip upon each other with the
greatest facility, so that any heavy
body which displaces them will sink
and continue to sink until solid bot
tom is reached. When particles OF
sand are ragged and angular, any
weight pressing on them will crowd
them together until they are compacted
into a solid mass. A sand composed of
mica or soapstone, when sufficiently
mixed with water, seems incapable of
such consolidation. 1t is often a very
difficult matter to build road or any
artificial construction ON quicksand.
To remedy this trouble, a Western
railroad is putting steel ribs and plates
into the excavation for a distance OF
lao feet, the former Is inches wide and
the latter "a inches, in order to secure
a permanent foundation for the road

VOTED DOWN,

Resolution by Canadian Statesman.
Eavorlng Closer Trade Relations with
the United States, Defeated In Parlia.
ment. =, -. : - -
OTTAWA, Ont, March 9o.-In Parliament
at :3O a. m. Sir Richard Cartwright's reso-
luton In favor of closer trade relations
with the United States was defeated by
vote OF yeas, II; nays, 12l. During
1ne debate Mr.. Cockburn, Of To-
mercial union, instituted COMPARE
sons to show that the various Provinces
OF Canada are enjoying greater prosperity
than the various States of the Union. He
said the decline in land values in New
York State from 1870 to 1880 was $27O..
100000, while Ontario in the same
period experienced an increase of
S66, $4,000. He asserted that three
quarters of the number of farms In New
York State were mortgaged Americas
alleged aristocracy, he said, lived only for
DOODLE" and he had nothing kind to say
about the plutocracy. All the Americans
wanted was to get the trade of
Canada and to give nothing in re-
turn. If Canada, as the opposition contend
I'd, really wanted closer trade relations, it
would be better to look back to 1777, when
the United States made her offer, which
still holds good. This offer was an invita-
t1on to Canada to become portion Of the
American Union on the same terms as tho
States forming the Union. Then the resolu-
lions OF Congressman Hit were Endorsed
by the Canadian Liberals who pretended to
want only unrestricted reciprocity. The
resolutions declared for commercial union.
and this meant political union, and the
Liberals could not deny it. Commercial
union would abolish the custom houses and
discriminate against England in return for
her sacrifices In favor Of Canada. Continu-
Ing, amid Interruptions, he held up an
American political cartoon in which the
American flag trlumphantly waved over the
union jack and the forms OF PROSTATE
tradesmen. He called on the Liberals to
alter their course II they were loyal subjects
and desired to live under the folds of the
union jack. The Monroe doctrine, he said.
would never be realized in America. The
American Union could not enter into unre-
stricted reciprocity with Canada, because If
she did 1t would be violation OF treaties
with other nations. Canada was not for
sale, and, come what WILL she would work
out her own destiny.
Mr. Davies, Liberal, pictured the de-
plorable condition Canada was in as
result OF the reckless extravaganza of
the present Government Thousands of
em1grants became Disguised and had
crossed over to settle in the United
States. The enormous taxation and
high duties disheartened them, coupled
with the fact that the most valuable land in
the Northwest had been grabbed up by
boodlers and land sharks. leaving only such
as these Spectators might reject for
actual settlement There was not an
industry in the dominion which was not
suffering depression which would not be
improved by unrestricted reciprocity with
the United States. 1t was the imperative
duty OF the Government to endeaver to
make terms with the United States for
closer commercial relations,
