CANADA'S STATESM EN.
THE NEW NATION OF THE NORTH
IS DISCUSSING GREAT ISSUES.

The Parliament of 100000 People Has
Gotten Fairly to Work--Sir John A. Mnc-
donald Enjoys and Suffers the Ionors
and Penalties of Prominence.
The protracLed meetings of the Canadian
cabinet, the opening of the Federal parlia-
ment and the attitude of the government and
opposition have attracted ut least the usual
attention at home and good deal more than
is usual i'll the United States. To the Ameri-
can reader of current news Sir John Alex
ander Macdonald is the truly colossal figure.
and for reasons not at once apparent to
Canadians. To a people SO given to rapid
changes of rulers, it may well seem astonisll
ing that one man should have continued in
Canadian public life, and most Of the time
in Office, for iorty-tive years, during which
twelve presidents have come and gone and
another taken his seat, yet SO il is.
But Sir John has another title to American
interest which few Canadians ever think of

The Worthwhile Creamery.

For three years j. G. Carr & Sons
have conducted creamery at North
vile on the cooperative plan, and 1T
is said to have been successful enter
prise. for Carr & Sons at least.
Carr was formerly proprietor of
a creamery at Elgin, but in 1887 he
went to Worthwhile, removed the old
cheese factory and opened up a cream
ery. According to the agreement the
farmers living in the country were to
bring in the milk and Carr was to
make it into butter and sell the same,
keeping five cents per pound for him.
self as remuneration for his labor.
The remainder was to be turned over
to the farmers who had furnished the
milk, according to respective amounts
contributed.
Things run along very smoothly UNI
til two months ago, when some OF the
farmers got their heads together and
figured little and concluded Carr was
making too much money and they
were not being paid enough for milk.
A petition, asking that the butter be
manufactured for four cents pound.
was presented to Carr and refused by
him. This petition was presented at
a public meeting held last Wednesday
and forty delegates were present.
The people then asked to examine the
books kept by Carr, but it is claimed
he absolutely refused to show any
books. A committee consisting OF A.
f. Brunson. j. Ivor Montgomery and
II. j. Hunt, called on Carr and were
ignored. The farmers are now up in
arms and are denOuncing Carr. They
want to see the hooks, and II he re-
fuses they propose to take legal steps
in the matter. A. f. BrunSOn was in
Ottawa Tuesday last and gave the re
porter these facts for publication.
Carr has three sons, sand all conducts
four factories located at SOmOnauk,
Sandwich, Hickory Grove and North
vile.
1t is probable climax will soon be
reached, and it Is thought law suit
is inevitable.
AS has been stated the residents of
Worthwhile who have had dealings
with the Cooperative Creamery, run
by j. G. Carr and sOIS, are determined
to see the books of the firm or take
steps to bring the matter into the
courts. The latest move, now being
made by the people, will b the means
of showing what Carr proposes to 40.
The investigating committee, which
consists of Messrs. BrunsOn, Mont
gomery and Hunt, has called upon
Carr and given him ten days to answer
the petition, which calls for the show
ing up of the books of the concern.
The report is anxiously awaited.
The fight will be a hot one and the
people say with one voice they do not
propose to allow Carr to get away from
them. They must and will see the
books or know the reason why.

The Story of Two Novels.

Two friends of mine spent each of them
the best part Sc the year 1888 in writing
and revising novel apiece Both stories
were published by leading houses dur
ing the early part of 1889. They were
both novels are, according to the popular
acceptance of the term, successful-that
is, they have been widely written about,
Photographed in the press from one end of
the country to another, English editions
have been printed of each, and to every
literary person the names of both novels
and authors are thoroughly familiar. Now,
what have the authors received in hard
cash for their years work? will tell you
exactly: OF one, 1,7OO copies were sold; no
royalty was paid on the first thousand to
cover manufacture, ETC., and upon the re-
naming 700 copies the author received the
regular 10 per cent royalty.
The book sold for 81. The net revenue
to the author was therefore $40 His type
writer's bill was s61.5O Net profit, 49, so,
and the book has stopped selling. The
other author was a trifle more fortunate
in that his novel reached sale of 1900, all
but five copies. Like the first he received
a 10 per cent. royalty only after the first
thousand copies Unfortunately, he bought
so many copies of his books for friends
that, when his publishers statement came,
it showed credit in his favor of just $50 so.

novel would have thrown him into debit

The Ideal Sanitary House.

The picture of the ideal sanitary house
is a pleasing one. The house will stand
facing the sun, on a dry soil, in wide,
clean, amply severed, substantially paved
street, over a deep, thoroughly ventilated
and lighted cellar. The floor of the cellar
will be cemented, the walls and ceiling
plastered and thickly whitewashed with
lime every year, that the house may no.
act as chimney to draw into it's cham
bers micro-organisms from the earth.
Doors and windows will be generous in
size, so as to admit of plenty of air. The
outside walls, if of wood or brick, will be
kept thickly painted, not to shut out the
air, but for the sake of dryness.
The inside walls will be plastered
smooth, painted and vanished Interior
wood work, including floors, will be var
nished. Movable rugs, which can be shak-
en- daily in the open air-not at the doors
or out of the windows-will cover the
floors. White linen shades, which must
be clean or they become unsightly, will
protect the windows. The furniture will
be plain, without upholstery. Mattresses
will be covered with oiled silk; blankets,
sheets and spreads-no comforts or quilts
will constitute the bedding. There will
be as little plumbing as possible, and what
there is will be exposed. The hot air fur
mace which heats the rooms will take its
supply from above the top of the house in
stead of the cellar, and, we are told, the
Spring" cleaning will be twice a year.

Then he picked up her bags and slowed
them under the seats, and put her boxes

her wraps neatly. After that he took off
his own high hat and put on his travelling

the while with an air of indignant protest
that he could care for those petty things

To Have Cool Water without Ice.

There is no reason why there should

need be only few cents, the rest a liberal
expenditure of gumption applied to hea-
then principles. The people of Japan de-
pend for their drinking water upon their
thousands of good wells. The dwellers in
the cities, when possessed of unlimited
means, have porcelain filters and water
coolers, through which they obtain pure,
fresh water Of a not unpleasant tempera-

seven cents. 1t is bracket like arrange

Clean Beds in the Sick Room.

In all cases attended with fever and in
creased heat of the system mattress is
preferable to down or feather beds, and
neither in health nor sickness should such
beds be used of a too soft or yielding ma
ture. A bed moderately elastic, but which
does not yield to the body so as to become
hollow and depressed, is the best. Smooth
cotton sheets are at all times preferable
to linen, and they should be frequently
changed. In febrile diseases, and in hot
weather especially, two beds are highly
grateful to the patient, one being cooled
and aired while the other is occupied.
These beds may be either in the same or
adjoining rooms; a sofa may suit very well
for one of the temporary changes. Where
the patient is confined to one bed an agree
able way of airing it is occasionally to lift
up the bed clothes by grasping them in
the middle, raising them gently, so that
the air may enter at the sides without un-
covering the patient, and then letting them
down and forcing out all the heated air
This process may be once or twice repeat

Edmund Russell on Dress.

"In DRESS" said Mr.. Russell in lecture,
"the development of personality is the true
basis of the best expression. The grace of
a costume depends mainly upon the proper
poise of the wearer. The most artistic
gown loses it's effect when worn by wo-
man with a sunken chest, curving back
and projecting elbows. Repose, dignity
and grace of presence come only with the
realization of Delsarte's idea of control in
the torso and freedom at the extremities.
The becomingness of gown lies in its re-
lation of color and form to the wearer.
There is a relation, both by correspondence
and contrast. Black, by contrast, gives an
added whiteness to the complexion, but by
correspondence it deepens every line on the
face and increases the impress of age.
Three classes of color are always harmo-
nious-for the street, shades on the tone Of
the hair; for the house, the tone of the
eyes; for the evening, the tint of the COM
plexion. The dress should always be sub

Woman and Her ParasOI.

During the warm months, when they
carry sunshades, women have special
way of being reckless They will plunge
right into the midst of crowded street,
holding their parasols close over their
heads, seeming wholly to forget how it
shuts off their view and endangers the
safety of their transit. One day on Broad
way, but for the timely interference Of
man who was crossing, woman
would have been trampled under the
feet of cart horse, simply because she
