4 SORT OF TIGRESS, SHE.

She Means to Have Her Rights
or Else She'll Eat a CrocO-
die or Two.
At the meeting of the Women's
Emancipation Union, at Birming..
ham, on Wednesday, Miss Cozens, of
London, speaking upon resolution
in favor of equal political and social
rights for women, said they ought
not to go on talking till the crack OF
doom without getting any redress.
The time had come when they must
do something desperate. There was
such a thing as dynamite, which they
had at their disposal. Applause
Miss Southall wanted to know
whether the speaker was serious IN
her remarks about dynamite. Cries
of "Ohp and " An individual
opinion"
Miss Cozens said she maintained
that if they had a regiment OF women
who could shoot straight, men would
not trife with them, but give the
franchise in week.
Miss Southall-"I thought you
advocated dynamite 3"
Miss Cozens-'' l did If we cannot
get freedom in any other way" :,
Miss Southall-" l May say ! don't
agree with these remarks, and think
a great many people at this meeting
share my opinion"
The chairman said that he under
stood Miss Cozens expressed only hel
own view.-Pall Mall Gazette.

THE CANADIAN PREMIER.
Proposed Annexation to the
United States.

United States.
Mr.. Mercier, Premier of the
Province of Quebec, who was
charged with corruption and mis-
use Of public funds and was arrest
ed and tried, has been acquitted.
The York Independent, referring to
the trial and its result, says:
"Of course we are very glad to
know that Mercier has been &C
Quilted of the charge of corruption
when in public life. 1t was a sad
thing to have the Premier OF the
Province of Quebec charged with
such crimes. But after fair trial he
. has been acquitted, and he will
doubtless go back into public ser
vice and will be a stronger man
than ever. This makes it all the
more important that it is now said
that he will come out strongly In
favor of annexation with the United
States, and become leader in the
movement. He has been a long
and ardent admirer of American
institutions, and he does not be-
lieye that God made or intended
the dividing line between the two
countries. He made speech last
Friday Nov. ~ in Quebec to an
inmense audience. who received
him with frantic applause, and to
whom he announced his intention OF
resuming his seat in Parliament
and of undertaking to carry out
the dream of his life, the realiza-
ton of which will be of incalculable
value, he says, not only to the
Province of Quebec, but to the
whole Dominion. Union may come
to be sooner than we expected 8

are not willing to hold out the right
hand of fellowship to Canada, 1t II
time for them now to speak
We believe that they are ready
and that it would be of advantage
to both countries. It would MAKE
six or eight new States with
worthy population. To be sure i
would be greater advantage t
them than to US, but what benefit
one people benefits another. Th
whole world is closely knit to
gether, certainly the populations G
this continent.

some of them united into whs

Representatives, giving one men

would give Canada twenty-fi'

They would divide Canada in
eight States. Their plan for t
jurisdiction of the national Cover
ment corresponds to that in t
United States. 1t prohibits t
establishment of State religion !;

that they have with US, relegati

and absolute control within Its o

provinces to be added to the exi

a RUDE AWAKENING.

It Generally Came to the Nodders During
the Old-Tire Church Service.
In the olden time church services
were SO long-prayers, hymns and ser
mons-that it is no wonder that many
of the hard-worked people in the con-
gregations could not keep awake.
Both in the old world and in the new
various devices were resorted to for the
purpose of banishing sleep from the
church. Among these was not the
modern one of making the services
short and interesting. Our English
fathers tried several methods of break
ing up the offensive practice. One
method was that known as ''bobbing,"
term thus explained by a writer in
Notes and Queries:

\ person may see as far sFith one per-
feet eye as with tNo, BAT he cannot see
- clearly. for the advantage that
binocular, or double vision. possesses
over monocular. or one-eyed vision. is
that the former, by allow ing the OBJ
server 10 catch sight Of the object from
two different points Of view, gives him
at once some idea of the proportions of
of it's different parts
But though this is true IN theory, in
practice the Judgment interferes, and
the Judgment has been educated and in
measure rendered independent Of the
services of binocular vision by expe-
rience and the use of other senses, such
as touch. says the Washington Post.
Thus a man with only one eye is
never deceived as TO the nature of an
object with which he is well az
qUainted, for the report of il that he
gets from his vision is corrected and
supplemented by his experienced judg-
ment and transmitted To his centcrs OF
consciousness in as perfect form as
that which reaches those of man with
two eyes.
The advantage of binocular vision
may be thus further illustrated: In

bowls, but when tame it barks just
like house dog. 1t is nocturnal in its
habits, but that is because the heat Of
the climate in Asia and Africa is SO
great that most animals shun the light,

any more than other animals do. 1t is
