Cause and Effect.

Several years ago the inmates of a
small, respectable dwelling house in
Philadelphia discovered upon the white
washed wall of one of the rooms the
likeness of a human face, which faded
and returned again. The neighbors
came in to view the wonder Other
faces appeared and vanished. Crowds
thronged the house and street, and ac-
counts of the mystery were printed in
the daily papers.
1t was to no purpose that scientific
men insisted that the figures were
caused by moldy growths which came
and went with the dampness and that
the likeness to the human face was
imaginary. The house was pronounced
by the public TO be haunted. and the
owner was unable TO find a tenant for
it for years.

NO CANADIAN RECTPROCL1K

There was warm debate in the
Canadian parliament last week o,e,
the proceedings of the joint high com

the English members were viI1ino, to
barter away the rights of Canada for
the sake of making a treaty. while tho
Canadian members had appeared ae
