"Divisionv In Parliament

When a division is called bell rings
to enable all NJ. P.'s to collect from
the smoking room, the library, etc.
Then the outer door is closed, and the
speaker puts the question There is a
shout Of aver and of mo" on which
he declares that either the one or the
other ''has it," II this be challenged
he says, "The ayes TO the right, the
noes to the left" This means that
the "ayes" and the ''noes" go into re-
spective lobbies.
This takes some time, for they go
leisurely. When at length they are
both within their respective pens all
the doors, leading to them are closed,
and after minute or two the one door
through which the prisoners in each
lobby are to make their exit is opened.
Before reaching the exit they have to
pass on either side of desk at which
two clerks sit and check of on a
printed list OF members those who
vote. After this they pass in single
file through the exit door, which is a
few yards from this desk. Just out
side this exit door stand two tellers,
one representing the "ayes" and one
the noes" Their business is to call
aloud one, two, three. four, and so on,
as the members pass. Consequently
for each division four tellers are nee
essary, two for the aye" lobby and
two for the mo" lobby.-London Truth.

An old Family Society.

The Buchanan society, as the name
denotes, is composed of individuals of
the name and clan of Buchanan and is
the Oldest named society in Scotland.
1t was instituted in Glasgow so far
back as 1125. At friendly meeting
of some of the name of Buchanan held
there on March 8 of that year the fol-
lowing proposal was made:
"That the name of Buchanan, being
now the most numerous name in the
place. and many poor boys of that
name, who are found to be of good
genius, being lost for want of good
education, fund might be begun and
carried on by the name, the interest
OF which in time might enable some Of
them to be useful in church and state"
This society has since gone on with
almost uninterrupted success. 1t has
attained position Of high importance
and is OF great practical use.-London

The First to Howl.

No town will become a good busl
ness center so long as oplv two or
three business men patronizs their
local paper in the way of advertising
it its columns. Too often the men in a
few lines OF trade are about tie only
ones that reacn out through the
agency OF their home paper after
trade. Other merchants wait until
these men induce the people to come
to town and content themselves with
trade that naturally drifts to their
place. And right here we want to
say that if we were to fill our col
umns from week to week with adver.
tlsements from mail order houses of

whose names. rarely if ever. app ar

Is. we have been hammering away

Of whom utterly disregsrd.t the merits
of theI local paper as an advertising
medium through which to reacn the
public. SO why should they "kick"
if mel chants abroad seek to secure
custom from these whose names are
upon our mailing list? A public spirit
ed man should ask himself if he. .Is
doing his part to attract people to
come to town to trade, and by letting
the public know Just what induce

earth to do this is a liberal use of
