substance keeps tho skin soft and fexi-
bic, and furnisho, tho hair with the

Strange Mutilation inIuIio

at meeting of tho Anthropological
Society at Bombay paper was read on
the custom that obtained, until very
latoly, among tho Dcruu Kodc. subsect
OF tho Morasu Vakalyjaru of Mysorc, OF
amputating the last phaanx of tho third
and fourth fiagcrs Of tho right hand of
woman before her daughter arrived at
puberty, or the ears OF her childr en-
wcro bored for ornaments. Tho op-
Grafton was performed by COLDS tn
with sharp chisol, the raw end,
plunged in boiling oil and drcssod with
saffron. This cruel custom, which mas
been suppressed by tho British Govern
mont, survives at present under the fol-
lowing harmless notifications: ''Somo
cut or pull off picco OF gold or silver
that they havo stuck on with flour
paste to tho tips OF the third aud fourth
fingers OF tho right hand, others substi-
tuto an offering OF gold or silver for
tho amputation, md others again tic
flowers to the fingers that wcrc former

mime of performing tho operation with

reformation was instituted in honor of
three girls who had moro caro for the

Feeding Barley Straw.

Some arc in doubt about tho advisa-
bility OF feeding barley straw to stock,
fearing tho boards may have ill effect.
For several winters horses and cattle
under my supervision had access to q
stack of barley straw. That portion Of
it under where tho throshing- machine
carrier had located was mado UP on
tircly OF barley chaif and boards. All
Of tho stock preferred this to tho straw,
and they oxcavatcd an aperture at this
point so far into tho stack that it bo-
camo necessary to fence them out.
They kept full and did woll, but after
shutting them out their hay ration had
to DO increased. Sheep, however, pro-
Ter tho straw, but it Is bad policy to
permit Thorn to run to tho stack, for
they get tho wool on the back of their
nocks and shoulders filled with barley
boards, which remain until they are
shorn. While nevor know tito injuro
tho sheep mol buyers to deduct from
tho price of tho wool on that account,
it looks bad, and that is enough to con-
denim tho practice. Nov York Trib-

ABOUT THE JESUITS.
THB ANIMATED DISCUSSION IN CANADA'S
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The Whole Trouble Caused II is Asserted, by a
Union Of Church and Sats-Ths United
States as an Example Of Liberty
in Religious Matters.

OTTAWA, March 28.-In the House Of
Commons this afternoon the debate was re-
sumed on the jesuit estates question.
Hon. David Mills was the first speaker
He said that the motion of Col O'Brien is
an important one. In the name of toler-
alton it seeks intolerance, and seeks to
violate the Constitution under the plea Of
defending the supremacy of the
Crown. 1t was useless to criticise the
actions of theJesuits in former times. He
tried to show that so called Jesuital in
reference in civil matters was occssioned
by intimate relations between Church and
State. The United States served
as an illustration of liberality dis
played in religious matters. 1t was
to be hoped that the Provincial Leg
isiature was responsible for acts
within it's constitutional limits. Although
personally of the opinion that the Catholic
religion in come respects was erroneous, he
would not think of interfering with the
rights of Others. He would rather be a
victim of the wrongful judgment of others
than deny an at Of Justice. He sat down
amid applause.
MONTREAL, March 28.-It was stated
to-day that either the General OF the
Jesuits, or one of the highest officers in
the order, wouldcross the Atlantic to give
evidence in the action for libel brought
against the Mail by the Jesuits. The ac-
tiOn grows cut OF the publication in the
