The curious fact is stated that while this

undesirable immigrants the Canadian gov
eminent is offering ,l5 TO every head of

takes up quarter section of land, and in
addition to tins - 30 to ms wife and each
child over l2 years old. Another SO is
promised Ia each male member of the fam
lily over 5 years old who takes up quar-
ter section. and the steamship companies
are given premium of 50 each for the
farmer immigrants thus brought over. IN

Anusion was made last week 20 a ques-
tian which had been raised as to whether
the presidential electors 70 be chosen IN
1892 should he elected on the basis of the
present congressional apportionment IN
der the census Of 1880 or on that of theuew
apporlionment under the census Of 1890
There Is no occasion whatever for such
question to be raised, as the matter was
definitely fixed nv law of Congress in 1892
Section 1872 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States reads follows
THE number of electors shall ba equal 10 the
number of senators and representatives 10 which
the several states arr by law entitled AT the time
when tine president and vice president to be chos-
en- come into office; except that where no appor
tiunment of representatives has been made after
anv enumeration. at the time Of choosing electors,
the number OF electors shall be according TO the
then existing apporuonment of senators and rep
resentatives.
This covers the case completely. The new
apportionment takes effect March 3, 1898
The president and vice president to oe
elected next wear come into office March
1898 and the number of electors to be
chosen will therefore correspond to the
number of senators and representative
under the new apportionment which will
he ia effect when the new president and
wee president take their seats.

four hands instead Of two, and, although
they seem to work with great lapidity,
yet they do not accomplish n half as
much as a good American mechanic in
the same time. There is one singular
feature among them in constructing a
house which puzzle u American car
peuters to account for. When a Jap
sees an aperature that needs to have n
piece of wood fitted in he gives a glance
at the hole, takes up his ak, cuts off the
piece needed and 1t fits as accurately as if
measured. .
Their tools are very peculiar. For in.
stance, they have q smoothing plane
two and oue.half inches long, one inch
broad and ne-half an inch thick. The
most ingenious article in their tool chest
is a chalk line. 1t is a wooden cup con-
tanning a spongy substance STEPPED in
India ink; this is pierced front and back
and the marking line passes through it,
the end of the line is attached to a small
awl, and the other end is wound around
a reel not unlike a fishing reel. which
takes the place of the handle to the cup.
To mark a line down a plank the Japan
csc carpenter sticks the awl in at one
end of the proposed line, carries the
cup to the other, the line playing itself

z TO HOUSE.

The house is IL by rs feet; the steps
6 81 inches high by 8 81 wide; the
doorway 5 feet 9 inches by 8 feet II
inches, and the curiously carved front
window ~ inches by IA inches.
The frame work OF an ordinary jap
anese house is simple and primitive in
structure. It consists of a number of
upright beams, which run. from the
ground to the transverse beams and in
cliues above. The vertical framing is
held together by short strips, which are
let into appropriate notches in the up.
rights, to which the bamboo lathing is
fixed. There is no excavation beneath
the house. nor is there a continuous
stone foundation, as with us. The up
rights rest directly and without attach
ment upon single uncut stones, these in
turn resting upon others which have
been pounded solidly into the earth by
means of a wooden maui.
When the foundation is laid and the
carpenters commence, it is a curious
sight to see these fellows at work, for
they use their hands and feet both at
the same time, their toes being as handy
as their fingers. At first there seems to
be u great advantage at their having
