The new parliament Is young in every
way-young in opportunity, in ambition, in
beliefs and in years. That is the first
thing to impress itself upon the visitor.
England is essentially a country OF the
aged and the middle aged. II has been said
that in a land so old youth has no place,
and youth has been advised to emigrate
to the colonies. But among the SO MEM
bers Of Parliament who flied into their
places under my eyes that day l saw many
more than half Of them, indeed-who were
yet many years on the morning side OF
their prime, and who looked as IL they had
but a short time ago quilted the irresponsi-
bilities Of school days. And the atmosphere
OF the place fairly sparlkles with electric
life and vigor. There is little spectacular
speech making. oratory seems to be un-
popular, and thesman who does not confine
himself strictly to the subject in hand and
say what he has to say in a straightfor-
ward. simple manner, meets with slight
courtesy or encouragement from his col
leagues.
That the house is young in parliamentary
life is proved, to the vast amusement Of
everybody, by the frequent calls Of order,
ofder!" from the benches and from the
speaker. There are thousand and one
little rules, unwritten but time-honored,
that each new member must learn after
he has taken his seat, and a good many
sittings must be punctuated with cries OF
'order. order!' before anything like order
can be arrived at. To a stranger the fun
niest thing, next TO the maiden speeches"
is the applause.

There is only one way to applaud in the
