military pecsion to the house. Here he
was announced by the sergeant-at-arms,
and given permission to enter. As he
came in he lowered nearly to the floor,
raised himself slowly and
SUDDENLY JERKED HIMSELF
into an erect posture. Thrice he re.
peated it before coming sufficiently near
the speaker to extend his invitation.
This he did in the following words:
His excellency, the encouragement,
desires the attendance of the honorable,
the house, at the opening of parliament
in the chamber of the honorable, the
senate" He repeated the invitation in
French. The house accepted it, al
though every member did not attend.
On the arrival OF the commons in the
senate, the governor-gsneral read the
speech from the throne, and formally
declared the parliament opened for bus-
ness. The speech was very brief, con-
tanning only slight reference to the
matters which are likely to come up for
consideration. On returning to the
house the members held a short session
and adjourned until Monday.
The Canadian parliament will have
some weighty questions to deal with this
year, one of the principal OF them being
the Manitoba school difficulty. 1t was
on this question that the present Liberal
government was successful, and since
they have failed to meet their obligations s
in the matter, it is doubtful il they can
remain in power. The Klondike will
also come in for a share of legislation.
The government has already let con-
tract for the building Of railroad In
that region, which requires only the
approval of parliament to become valid.
The chambers Of both houses here are
modelled after those in the British par
lament. There is government and an
opposition side to each house. One of
the fixtures of the parliament is the
mace, which is taken care of by the
sergeantat-arms. When it rests on tho
table before the speakers desk. business
may 90 on, but when it is removed all
business stops and nothing can be trans
acted until it is returned.

Anaconda, Mont, is getting ready to
defy the rivalry of the world in its pub
lie fountain, with a perpendicular jet
three inches in diameter and 22o feet
high. Around the base of the fountain,
constructed of massive rough masonry
a fringe of jets will rise to different
heights and at many angles. The water
comes from a mountain lake six miles
distant and fed by melting snow. The
valves of the supply will be governed by
electricity. 1t is intended that every
fire plug in the city shall throw stream

To be in the swim in certain parts of
Maine, it is necessary to be member
of what is called "fresh-pork clubs"
These clubs, it appears, are cooperative
organizations for killing hogs and keep
ing the members supplied with fresh
pork for the season. The social and
sanitary advantages of membership in
fresh-pork club are many. AS is well
known to all Americans who have lived
in the country, the pig-killing time be-
gins in September and continues at in
tervals until the holidays. By joining a
club n family can prolong the fresh
pork season for months, as the pork Of
each slaughter is divided among the
members, But this is not the only ad-
vantage of membership. A local paper
says that fresh-pork clubs have become
so important in many communities that
weddings and social entertainments are
arranged so that they may come off in
pig-killing time"

The Passing OF Gentiiity.

A fnankness that is almost brutal
seems to pass current in society for up
to-date smartness, and the language
that is now used by certain fashionable
people among themselves is sometimes
only little short Of billingsgate, while
"swear words" seem to have lost their
awfulness and are used almost as free
ly by women as by men. 1t is curious
how "gentility" both as word and
quality has disappeared. Fashionable
people are distinctly no longer gen
tcel." They may on occasions be high
bred, but the mincing propriety of the
bellies and beaus of yore has entirely
disappeared. In well-known society
novel written Is or 20 years ago, which
was a presumably correct dellneation
of the manners and habits of the fash
ionable life of that time, two heroines
play their role. One, We're de We're,
with the correct speech and manners Of
her caste, and the other suddenly ex-
alted bourgeose, who goes through the
social fires of criticism and experience
before she emerges true gold from the
ordeal. Oddly enough, to-day the types
might be reversed; it is the bourgeolse

One OF the most novel excuses for
wishing a divorce was recently given in
an application made by a Sherman
CreX) man for legal separation from
his wife. They have been married 30
years, but Richardson claims that she
has been too faithful and constant to
the memory of former sweetheart,
who died before they were married, and
on this ground he asks the court to
grant him a divorce.

tracts the Society of tho Capital City.


Ottawa, Canada, February A, 1898.
The Canadian parliament for the ses-
sion of 1898 was opened yesterday by
Lord Aberdeen, governor-general Of the
Dominion. This was the first time that
such an event occurred since my coming
to Canada, and l was eager to embrace
the opportunity of witnessing the cere-
mony. The sessions of parliament are
very brief, lasting not more than few
months in any year, and on this account
it is not an extremely familiar organ
zation even in this, the capital city. 1t
seemed to me yesterday that the open
ing OF the session, with its attendant
pomp and ceremonals, constitutes a
great part of the interest which the
average Canadian attaches to it. A
little more display thon usual accom-
panied the opening this year. 1t was
the last at which Lord Aberdeen will
officiate as governor-general, and the
society people turned out about as
gorgeously as they knew how in order
TO make II memorable one.
was not aware previous to yesterday
noon that | would be able to attend
the opening, and in consequence had
made no preparations for it. AS result
| found myself, in company with several
acquaintances, before tho doors of the
parliament building without the passport
necessary to gain admission. Grand
equipages where driving up Parliament
Hill in quick succession. Men and
women alighted briskly and hurried
into the building. Time meant position.

by, and we were still on the outside.
and as the booming of cannon betokened
the near approach of the governor
general and the commencement of the
ceremony, we arose to the need of be-
stirring ourselves to get inside.
Our party consisted of six Canadians
and two Americans. There was no
prospect of our getting in en- mdsSe, so
we decided to let each look out for him
self. The first to go was young Cana
dian, who espied the NJ. p. from his
district and buttonholed him for pass

was also a Canadian, who obtained a
ticket from a friend in one OF the de-
partments. The third to 90 was my

satisfactory. Canadian society was out
in force, arrayed in its finest trappings.
