storm and wintry tempest throughout the

And it would be hard to compute and
measure to the square inch the amount
Of solid and exhilirsting enjoyment it
Afforded the average schoolboy and girl
Of forty vesrs ago coasiing and sled
riding on the hillside during the dinner
hour, at The old sehool-house by the lane
when all came to school warmly clad in
homespun clothes, flannel frocks and
calfskin boots and shoes, to face the
wintry blasts and wsde through snow
banks and storm, two add three miles
20 and from the old log school-bouse by
the lane, around Ehieh are clustered so
many hallowed associations Of by-gone
days, when We were all 80 happy and
/ free from the peTplexi:ies and stern ie-
alities Of life Life seemed at sunshine
then, aud we did not stop to gaze into

Of The trials and struggles awaiting US in
the conflicts of life as We are carried on
down the stream Of time towards the set

resort to a little strategy in order to
hasten his capitulation to sign the order,
by one Of the larger scholars climbing on
the roof and throwing a little cayenne
pepper or sulphur down the stovepipe.
This generally brought speedy terms of
surrender.

DR.. Dio Lewis, the eminent Borden ply

error underiies nearly all medical treatment
of catarrh 1t is not disease of the mans
nose; it is disease Of the man showing itsel .
in the nose-a Local exhibition of Constitsa
ional trouble Therefore, he argues, the use
of snuff and other loeol applications is wrong
and while they seem 10 give temporary relief
they really dc more harm than good. Other
lesding authorities agree wife Dr. Lewis
Hence the only proper method of cure for
caiArrh is by taking a constitutional remedy
like Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, reaching,
every part of the body through the blood,
does eliminate all impurities and makes the
whole man healthier. Ii removes the cause
Of the trouble and restores the diseased mem
brane to proper condition. That this is the
practical result IS proven by thousands of
people who hove been cured of caisrrh by
talking Hoods sarsaparills.

THE AUSTRALIAN FEDERATION.

Il is curious to observe how history is re-
beating itself in the federation of the Austria
Ian colonies. The very questions and all OF
them which arose in this country after the
Revolutionary War, were debated for series
of years and finally settled by the adoption of
the American Constitution, have arisen in
Australia have excited the same kind of dis
cusson on precisely the same lines and are
now determined by plan OF federatlon' which,
principle for principle, If not word Tor WORD, IS
wonderfully like the plan pursued here Inc
parallel is the more striking in that there has
been in Australia, rs there was here, an inter-
mediary stage of loose confederation. Or all
the compliments which century OF admlra-
ton has lavished on the great instrument pro-
vided by the founders of our Government, none
is so striking or agreeable as the event which
has just been accomplished in the island-con-
tinent of the aItipodes. 1t is fair summary
of the scheme adopted at Sidney to say that
it is a copy OF our Constitution in so far as that
was possible and could be rendered consistent
with the existence of the British tie. An ex-
ecutive elected by the people was of course
not TO be contemplated so long as the condition
of dependency remained, and that which is ex-
perimenta in the Australian plan relates to
the attempt it makes to associate the executive
and legislative functions in body composed
after the torn of the American Congress.
For the Parliament of the new Australian
Commonwealth is modelled in all It's functions
upon the American plan. The Senate is SINH
arly chosen, each province, great and small,
having an equal voice and an equal vote.
Its share in the legislation of the country is in
tended to be as important as is the case here.
For it the Premier will have no responsibility
and in it no authority, and yet without 1t he
will be unable to govern. His position, there
fore, win be ore of much exposure TO assault,
without the compensation of supreme power in
certain respects and independence in all which
is afforded an American President This sit
uation will evidently be full of peril and
wholly unsatisfactory to the responsible ruler,
ard il it does not demonstrate the imp ssbility
of leconcing the monarchical principle with
truly republican institutions we shall be much
