lature he directed his Minister OF the Interior
to impart to the delegates some rough notions
Of parliamentary duties and organization In
pursuance OF these commands the Minister told
| the new fiedged legislators that they would be
| expected frankly to approve disapprove the
| measures laid before them by the Government
| With that view he invited such of them as were
disposed to criticise matters proposed by the
Khedive and his Cabinet to range themselves
on one side Of the chamber while those who
were prepared to give the Executive their full
confidence and support in advance could take
their seats on the opposite side of the hall The

So when Egypt's first Parliament was sol

of the entire affair.
THE ENGLISH PARTY SYSTEM FALLEN.
one cannot help being reminded Of all this
when perusing the accounts Of the recent de-
bates at Westminster on the subject Of the war
with the Transvaal. and it is exacgeration
to assert that no time has the prestige Of the
party system fallen low in the eyes of the
English people since the outbreak Of hostil-
ties in South Africa. The majority Of the lead
ers Of the Liberal Opposition in both houses Of
Parliament acknowledge in private that tn"
Salisbury Cabinet could not have avcrtcd the
conflict with the two republics. In fact, they
admit that they do not wish to reverse the pol
icy of the administration. and that they have not
the slightest desire to turn out the Government
in order to take it's place But if such Oppos-
ton leaders as Sir Henry Campbell -Banner,nan
ley and Lord Edmond FitZmaurice agree that
they do not wish to reverse the policy Of Lord
Salisbury and his colleagues, and that the pres
ent war was inevitable, does not that constitute
approval their part7 The amendment to the

THE OPPOSITION.
A BRITISH MINISTER'S CYNICAL STATE
MENT OF ITS POLICY
Always THE OPPOSITE OF THE GOVERNMENTS
HOW IT SOMETIMES AIDS AND ABETS
THE ENEMY.

Driving down toward Whitehall in London in
1856 with one of the principal members of the
Liberal Cabinet that had Just been defeated [
put the question to him as to what attitude he
and his colleagues Of the outgoing administra-
nnn would be likely TO adopt toward new and
rather unexpected feature of the Egyptian prob
lem that had suddenly cropped up during the
few days previous. His reply although perhaps
made on the spur Of the moment. and in that
peculiar vein Of cynicism that so often charac-
terizes Ministers when they have just been
turned out Of Office, has always remained i'm
pressed my mind, owing to the insight which
Il afforded to the principles and ethics Of
party warfare.
'lt is impossible TO say as yet" he replied
y suppose We shall have TO wait and see what
he new Government does in the matter, and
then adopt the diametricaIly opposite view"
That is 10 say. this statesman. who to-day oc-
cupies one Of the foremost places in the public
efairs Of the British Empire and who is uni
sersaIly admitted to surpass his colleagues of
the present Cabinet in parliamentary expert
ence and in political acumen, admitted that in
an issue Of Importance that was not merely
domestic, but also International in the sense
that 1t concerned the prestige Of Great Britain
In foreign countries. his own attitude and that
OF hls colleagues IN the administration which
bad just resigned would be influenced not by
any consideration as to the rights and wrongs
OF the question, but solely and entirely by a
spirit Of party opposition to the new Govern
ment IT did not matter what course the latter
plight decide upon. Whatever It decided the
defeated Ministers imagined il to be their duty
10 assume an attitude in direct contradiction
thereto' irrespective Of the principles involved
tno OF the Interests cf the British Empire
That was my first real insight into the So
called party system which, according 10 a re-
cent utterance Of the cl-arest headed Of living
English historians lis breaking down, the peo-
PIE ceasing to be interested in the way in which
he party game is played"

Glories in Being a Heather.

The annual meetiug'of the Moral Edu-
cation society held ia Boston last week
was remarkable from the fact that Chris
tan and heather united in discussing the
reason for moral education and the best
method Of impartiug it The feature of
the day was the contribution Of Bipin
Chadra Pal OF Calcutta
Brothers aud sisters in God, he be
gan, II am not ashamed Of appearing be
fore YOU as a heather. Heather means
one who is not Christian, and | am not
ashamed to confess that | am not a Chris
tian. If | had any doubt ON the subject
when | left India, the two years IN Chris
tiau England and Christian America, and
the closest study of the religion amid the
fogs and mists of London, on the streets Of
Chicago, in Boston, New York aud other
places, has removed every bit Of doubt
am prouder than ever Of being heather,
as distinguished from being Christian.
That the heather HindoO Is impracti-
cable is to be found in the fact that 4 few
English soldiers lord it over 800, 900, 900
of them. We may be impracticable as far
as grabbing land and gold is concerned, but
we claim to be far beyond Christian civil
cation in matters of ethics.
IF you want to control the nerves, you
must control the appetites for eating and
drinking; if you want to control the mind,
you must control the body.
''When a beggar comes to our door in
India we do not send for policeman and
turn the beggar over to him, while We re-
turn to the enjoyment of our leg of mutton
and strawberry shortcake, happy in the
contemplation that we have done our
Christian duty in sending a hungry man to
jail; but even little child will take hand
full of rice or a couple of potatoes or a mango
and give it to the beggar

at the time Of the Pharaohs two long lines
of men, extending over half mile, all
pulling steadily, at the command of the
task master, at great rope TO raise some
huge obelisk, and as you see them sweat
ing, tugging and slraining, think again Of
this small lump Of coal in which nature
has placed an equal amount Of power In
some countries men who have been spe-
cially trained as porters, to carry heavy
loads on their backs, will, as a full day
work, carry total Of from $50 to GOO
pounds distance Of mile Aud vet each
has expended but one-third of the power
stored up in this pound Of coal.
An exceptionally strong man has been
known to do one-half horse power of work
as his mightiest effort; but in two and
half minutes work at this rate exhausts his
muscular force Let US suppose 100
such men putting forth such extreme
effort at rope, or crank, or crow
bar; as they fall back, red faced and puff
ing. to catch their breaths, we might imag-
inc this little black lump saying TO them

One pound Of this coal carries the poten-
tial energy to do the work of 5000 such
splnsters.
In sdwing wood, a man may work at
the rate of about 90 strokes a minute and
consider himself ''top sawyer, and his
saw blade may have progressed five feet
a minute; but a circular saw, driven by
machinery, may be put through 20 times
that distance and saw 20 times as much
wood. And yet this one little pound of
coal coutans power enough for $50 such
saws.

When to Put on New Shoes.

There Is a time for everything, and that
includes time for trying on new shoes.
The feet are different sizes at different
time in the day In the morning they
usually are larger, and much walking, too,
inclines them to SWELL so that now shoes
should not be worn at such times. If the
shoes are inclined to be tight, one road to
relief is to battle the feet in cold water and
dress them in new hose. Tight shoes
should never be put on directly after taking
a hot hath
