ton act could have been passed this
autumn, the election held afterward,
and if the Government were sustained
the treaty might be ratified immedi-
ately by full representative Parli-
ament. AS it is, should the govern
ment be endorsed, reciprocity must
still wait until the end of the year.
Moreover, the census itself was de-
layed two months for no reason that
has yet been announced One result
is to change the census period and
impair the value of the statistics. The
other is to delay the return, which
might now be ready, to make the basis
of a redistribution act. This looks like
an elaborate disfranchisement plot,
We do not say that the purpose has
been in the minds of the ministers in
the singular change of the census date,
because their minds are not legible.
But they have achieved the most sue
cessful act of disfranchisement ever
completed in Canada. Incidentally al
so they are directly taking away the
votes of $4,000 to $4,000 young men
from Eastern Canada by bringing en-
the elections while the harvesters en-
ployed on the prairies are away from
home.-Vancouve News.

STRANGE SPECIES OF DEER
Curious Lad Thought Animal Whose
Head Adorned Wall Must Have
Very Long Legs.

Just above the buffet in the dining
room Of a Richmond house there
hangs a huge, finely mounted ant
Tered head. This trophy Of the hunt
er's proWess is fastened so firmly to
the wall that the glistening neck
seems TO be coming right out through
the plaster.
When a little bov from the CITY
saw this decoration for the first time
he eyed with considerable curiosity
and with evident uneasiness. 1t
looked almost too lifelike for COM
fort.
Finally the youncster asked to be
excused and slipped from his chair,
going into the next room. He re-
turned to the dining room flushed
with embarrassment.

COURT OF cHANcERY.

The chancerv court was originally
designed to render justice complete
by amending the errors and mitiga-

that were bound to the more strict
letter Of the law. 1t gave relief to
minors and women who otherwise
might come short of their full
rights, and looks after all frauds, de-
ceits. breaches of trust and conf
dence for which there il no redress
at common law. 1t was probably de-
rived from the council of state, I'M
der which it originally acted, and Of
which it finally became independent
The great difficulty with proceed
ings in chancery is the delay that at

DEPTH OF THE ATLANTIC.

It is now possible to assert that in
but few places has the Atlantic q
depth exceeding 1900 fathoms, or
three and quarter miles. Its great
est depth is about 100 miles north
Of the island Of ST. Thomas, where
it reaches 1875 fathoms, or about
four miles and a quarter. Except in
the neighborhood Of its coast line
and in certain shallower areas, the
floor Of the Atlantic basin at its
widest part lies at depth of from
1000 to 5000 fathoms, the slopes
being extremely gradual. In some
parts, as for instance to the vest
ward Of Ireland, the slope is only
about six feet to the mile. We're the
waters removed, the bottom Of the
ocean would appear much more level
than some people think.

One of the most extraordinary and

architects name, but the story goes
that the car ordered his eyes to be
put out as soon as the church was
completed, 50 that he should never
be able to surpass his work. The
idea of the building was inspired by
the wickedest and maddest monarch
who ever sat on throneIvan the

looking edifice has been luridly de-
scribed by a well-known write-. ct

era. Standing in the shadow Of the

whom it was produced. Then, and

lust. Like attributes without soul

LAY JUDGE QUITE USELESS
One Of Them, Arguing for Abolish.
ment Of Office, Tells Of His Only
Concurrent Opinion.

In many of the interior counties
Of Pennsylvania there are lay judges
who assist the law judges in dispos-
ing of miscellaneous cases. Several
years ago there was introduced into
the legislature a bill to abolish the
office Of lay judge. Judge
himself lay judge, appeared before
the senate Judiciary committee at
Harrisburg, which was considering
the matter.
His argument was this: "There is
before your august body bill to
abolish the Office Of layjudge. | am
in favor of it's passage. For ten
years | have been lay judge my
self, sitting dsX by day with judge
learned in the law. But he does all
the work and I have no show. In all
these years ! have only once been
asked for concurrent opinion and
that was last week, when, after lisfen-
ing to two lawyers argue an equity
case for three days, my colleague
turned to me and said, Judge, don't

yers give you pain? 2 Metropoli-
