The Thackerays at Home.

About luncheon time my father sent
US down to the pastry cook shop, where
we reveled among cream tarts and petits
tours, and then we ordered our dinner,
as people did then, from a trattoria
near at hand. Then we went out again,
still in our raptures, and when dinner
time came, just about sunset, excite
ment had given us good appetites, not
withstanding the tarts.
We were ready, but dinner delayed.
We waited more and more impatiently
as the evening advanced, but still
dinner appeared. Then the Englis
servant, Charles, was called and dis

Why Alsace-Lorraine Remains French.

There is no liberty, as we understand
the term in Alsace-Lorraine. The ma
tives are permitted the exercise of their
own religion and the use of the French
tongue under certain restrictions But
these restrictions import the presence of
German detectives in the churches. No
more need be said to show that they
must be irksome and oppressive to the
last degree. 1t is the German method,
one might almost say the method of
our time. We are in hurry, and we
bolt our food, even when great empires
are making their meal ON small states.
In 1871 France left Alsace pretty much
as she found it when it was seized by
Louis XIV. At the time of the seizure
as little as possible was changed in
laws, customs, manners or observances
In consequence Alsace remained Ger
man in speech and in race habits, while
gratitude for fair treatment slowly rem
dered her French in sentiment. T.
gentler way may seem the longer, but
it is certainly the better, and that the
rougher is, to say the least, no shorter
we have our experience in Ireland 20
prove. Our mistake indeed was one of
sheer ignorance while Germany's is
something of a sin against the light. -

How Suffrage Is Restricted In Canada

The Canadian restrictions ON suffrage
are peculiar. In order to be entitled to
vote, not only must one be a male Brit
ish subject 81 years of age and have
lived in the Dominion at least a year,
but he must also have been the owner
of real estate or the occupier of a rented
house or business property for the same
time. If he owns real estate in a city,
1t must be worth $500, if in a town
5000, and &c elsewhere $3.50. If he nei-
Their owns cal estate nor occupies real
estate as a tenant, he can vote if he
earns $500 year, or if he be the son of
a farmer or real estate owner and live
at his fathers home An income voter
is not required, as all other voters are,
to live a year in the district where be

"Skates" or s'Skeets."

When I was little boy, my play
mates at a country school in southeast
ern Indiana wore ''skeets'' and went
"skeeting," though the village boys
said "skates. p" 1 counted "skeet'' Gu
rious corruption. Fancy my surprise at
meeting an old acquaintance in far
off land and in strange company, when,
long years afterward, 1 read the passage
in Evelyn's DIARY" for the year 1862,
in which he speaks Of "having seen the
strange and wonderful dexterity Of the
sliders on the new canal in ST. James
park, perform d before their majesties
by divers gentlemen and others with
scheets after the manner of the Hol-
landers, with what swiftness they passe,
how suddenly they stop in full carriere
upon the ice" and SO forth. The CHI in
"scheets" is Dutch, and therefore
sounded like ok "
Pepys tells of being at st. James
park on the same day: "Where l first
in my life, it being a great frost, did
see people sliding with their skeates
Which is very pretty art. here dis
covered that the country boys in the
hills of Craig township, when they said
"skeet, were only one or two centuries
behind the fashion and were using the
word as pronounced by Charles and his
courtiers when they brought the every

journal of 1884 complains of the time
