PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE

Wepyespay, April 22.

House met at 10.30.

Mr. Gallant presented a petition fron Lawrence McDonald and others, of Grana River, Lot 14, praying for the incorpora- tion of St. Patrick’s Hall Company. Tre petition was read, and a bill in accordance therewith introduced, which was referred to the Private Bills Committee.

Mr. H.C. McDonald asked the Com- missioner of Public Works if the Govern- ment had arrived at any decision with re- ference to the opening of a new road from Newton tothe Montague road, Lot 57, and if so, what the Government propose to do if an estimate has been made regard- ing the cost of opening the said road and making the same fit for public use. IJfso, to Jay on the table of this House alJ] esti- mates, letters, communications and papers regarding the said road.

Mr. McLean said he found that a good title to the western end of the proposed road could not be obtained at present, and having himself visited the eastern or Montague side last summer and finding it

labor, to pay annually te the Overseer of the precinct in which they reside, on or before the first day of the commencement of the statute labor in their re spective precincts, the sums of money respectively as follows, that is to say: Every male person the sum of fifty cents, and in addi- tion thereto, every person owning or pos- sessing one or more horses above the aze of four years, the sum of twenty cents for every such horse.”

5. Sectiun forty of the said Act is here- by repeales, and the following substituted in lieu thereof :

“From and after the passing of this Act, the whole of the statute labor shall

a very rough and difficult section to tuild a road over, two bridges requiring to be built, ene estimated at $500 and the other | at $200, this great cost will require the) Government to consider very carefully the| propriety of building the road at present Mr. McKinnon asked the Commissioner of Public Works whether a petition asking for the continuation of Compton’s Road, Lot 61, and 59, through from Heatherdale, has been received and what action it is proposed te take in regard thereto; al-o whether a petition had been received from ibe residents of Lots 62 and 63 asking for the opening of a road between the western end of Peters Road and the County Line Road. In reply the Commissioner of Public Works said the petitions would be consid- ered, and if deemed io the public intere-ts after enquiry iuto the merits, the Govera- ment would endeavor to comply with the prayer of the petitioners. ' On motion of Hon. Mr. McLean, the ' House went intocommittee on the Act amending the Roads Act, 1879, with Mr.

this Maakine at $10.00. Godkin in the chair. The b.ll as intro- warranted for | duced provides as follows: —

1. Section four of the Public Roads Act, 1879, is hereby repealed, and the fol- lowing substituted in lieu thereof :

**All money granted by the Legislature

| for maintenance, repairing and construc-

# tion of roads, bridges and other works ; shall be expended, subject to any resolu- } tion of the Legislative Assembly for the

Tyke ~eree Suits, S18 i apportionment of the same by the Com-

| missioner of Public Works, or under the

direction of the Commissioner of Public Works, by such Supervisors as the Lieu- tenant-Governor in Council may appoint as aforesaid, and in the latter case the same shall be paid by order or certificate, drawn by the Supervisor to the several and respective persons who actually work and labor in making, completing and re- pairing the several roads, bridges and works and in furnishing material therefor.”

2. Section seventeen of the said Act is hereby repealed, and the following substi- tuted in lieu thereof :

“The said Overseer of highways shall, and they are herebv required and empow- to summon the inhabitants liable to per- form statute laber under this Act, resid - { ing within their respective precincts by { giving them at least twenty-four hours notice either verbally or in writing of the time and place where and when they in- tend to employ them, and they shall dir- | ectand order the persons so summoned to | labor in making and repairing the high-

ways, sireets or bridges iu the most effectual and advantageous manner for and duriog the number of days or hours appointed by this Act for such service or Jabor; but they, the said over- avers, as wellas their horses, are hereby exe.npted and excused from al! labor re- quired to be performed under avy of the provisions of this Act, save and except their duties as ()verseers.” ' 3. Section twenty-four of the said Act is hereby repealed, and the following sub stituted in lieu thereof :

“When in the opinion of the Supervisor or Overseer the labor ef horses on a road machine or with ploughs or carts, shall be more useful than that of men, be ma) direet any person liabie to perform statut: labor, and who has not commuted the same, and who is the possessor of one 0) ‘ more horses, and plough or cart, to fur nish the service of a horse or horses, an: plough or cart, and in such casee the ser vice of one team of horses and plough, o one horse and cart, shall count as th: labor ofone man. The labor of a hors on a road machine for five houre shall b considered equal to twenty-five cents com mutation money.”

4, Section twenty-seven of the said Ac is hereby repealed, and the followin, substituted in lieu thereof :

“Provided a)ways that all persons liab! to perform statute labor under this A«

et

—

be performed before the twentieth day of July in the year one thousand eight hun- dred and seventy-nine, and the tenth of July annually in each succeeding year. Provided that the Supervisors may direct the Overseers in any particular precinct to reserve part of the statute labor for a later period of the year for the purpo-e of working it more satistactorily with the road machine, or otherwise makinyz- or repairing the roads.”

The bill was discussed by the promoter, Hon, Mr. Peters, Mr. Shaw, Hon. Mr. Gordon, Hon. Mr. Sinclair, Mr. U. C. McDonald, Mr. Aitken, and Mr. McLavgh- in.

With reference tosection 2, Mr. Shaw expressed the opinion that twenty-four hours was too short notice, and p >inted out in what way this notice would operate against those who were desirous of per- forming etatute labor other than by the road machine. He putin astrong plea for an extension of time.

Hon. Mr. Gordon supported the conten- tion of the hon. member for New Perth. He thought that twenty-four hours was altogether too short tor those men who wished to perform their statate labor in the ordinary way with spade and shovel. It would especially interfere with those who had to work elsewhere. He thought the time should be ten daye, as at present.

Hon. Mr. Peters pointed out that the time was not limited .o 24 hours.

Mr. Aitken thought the time should be made optional.

Hon. Mr. McLean said there were few sections of the country in which the road machine did not operate. He did not think the overseers would take any undue advan tage of the 24 hours notice.

Mr. Rogers (Alberton) thought that per- haps 48 hours would suit the hon. member from New Perth.

Mr. Shaw suggested that 24 hours be struck out and 48 hours inserted instead.

Hon. Mr. McLean and Mr. H.C. Mac- donald both spoke in favor of allowing the clause as introduced to pass. The former said the great majority of supervisors were desirous of having the act made so that they would be able to cal! out the menu instanter.

The amendment enggested by Mr. Shaw was not accepted, and the clause as intro- duced passed.

Discussing section 3, Mr. Shaw pointed |

out that a man who works 15 hours gets 50 cents, and for two horses for 5 hours he gets 20 cents, whereas fur performing 10 hours work on the road machine with team a man gets $2.50. He thought this change would operate in favor of the man who had the money to pay and then work on the road machine as against the man unable to pay.

Mr. McKinnon moved that the words “harrows” and “roiler” be inserted in sec- tion 3. The amendment carried, and the section as amended passed.

Hou. Mr. Peters snggested that as some very material amendments were necessary to section five, that section stand over till the afternoon session.

Mr. McKinnon introduced several changes in the schedules of the act, made necessary by the gerrymander in King’s County.

These amendments were ruled out ot order, as it was thought they would ia-

validate the act:

Mr. Aitken moved that labor be reduced to ten.

Mr. Shaw seconded the -poke strongly in its favor.

The discussion which followed was aken part in bv Hon. Mr. McLean, Hon Ar. Sinclair, Hon. Mr. Farquharson, Mr. Rogers, (Alberton), Mr. H. C. Macdonald dr, Bell, Mr. McKinnon and others.

CHARACTER TOLD IN SHOES.

Our Natures Revealed Unerringly in the Type of Footwear We Wear.

Anybody who looks about him can tell character by theshoes. It requires no study to do this; the evidence is there every time and no probing is necessary.

A policeman or a detective, no mat- ter in what disguise, is uften identified by criminals by his shoes. They know full well that policemen and detectives are in the habit of wearing large,heayy shoes, with soles twice the thickness of an ordinary shoe,

How easy it is to recognize the Ger- man corner grocer by the broad flat shoe he wears, no matter where you may meet him.

The neat button shoe or gaiter is typical of the methodical business nan.

The careless man or woman can be readily recognized by a shoe on whieh half the buttons are off, or on which the laces are secured in an unsightly and slipshod manner.

Dainty, refined maidens wear shoes with patent leather tips that fit their feet to perfection; and, again, girls who are vivacious and flighty wear high- heeled shoes that cramp their feet. When you seea girl wearing shoes on which one side of the heel is worn off and bent you will know that she is vacillating and fickle.

Common sense women wear a low- heeled shoe, which is intended more for comfort than style.

The heavy, coarse boots worn by countrymen are proverbial. It requires no buneo steerer to recognize the owner of them.

Whenever you are in doubt concern- ing the character of any person judge by the shoes and you'll seldom make a mistake.—New York Herald.

Irrigation by Windmil/s.

It was found that in the Arkansas valley water could be obtained by shal- low wells ranging in depth from eight to twenty feet. This is raised by hun- dreds of windmills into hundreds of small reservoirs constructed at the highest point of each farm. The uni- form eastward of the plains is seven feet tothe mile. The indefatigable Kansas wind keeps the mills in active operation, and the reservoirs are al- ways full of water, which is drawn off as it is required for purposes of irriga- tion, These smallindividual pumping- plants have certain advantages over the canal systems which prevail else- where. The irrigation has no entang- ling alliances with companies or co-op- erative associations, and is able to manage the water-supply without de- ferring to the convenience of others or yielding obedience to rules and regu- lations essential to the orderly admin- istration of systems which supply large numbers of consumers. ‘The original cost of sucha plant, exclusive of the farmer’sown labor in constructing his reservoirs and ditches, is $200, and the plant suffices for ten acres. The farmer thus pays $20 per acre for a perpetual guaranty of sufficient “rain” to produce beuntiful crops; but to this cost must be added $2 per acre ws the annual price of maintaining the system.—‘‘Ways and Means in Arid America,” by Wil- liam E, Smythe, in the March Century,

Family Likeness.

Some curious investigations have re- cently been undertaken by a photo- graphic society in Geneva. The pur- pose was to show that the longer a married couple lived together—we ap- prehend harmoniously—the more and more marked became the resemblance which the two persons bore to each other. Photographs of seventy-eight couples were taken as well as an eqnal number of adult brothers and sisters. On careful inspection it was fonnd that the married couples were more like one another than the brothers and sisters of the same blood. Apparently, therefore, there seems to be a stronger force available for the production of ‘family likenesses” even than that of hereditary transmission. In accepting the statement of the society in ques- tion as true as to fact, it isnot difficult, in a certain measure, to account for the phenomenon referred to. Human beings for example, have quite a faculty for copying each other in their ways, movements and temperaments, —Photographic Times,

Susan B.'s Reply.

Miss Susan B. Anthony is an adroit logician, and one cannot help admir- ing her reply to the congressman who called her attention to the fact that large numbers of women object to hav- ing thrust upon them the responsibil- ities incident to suffrage rights. ‘So do children object to going back to school,” said Mrs, Anthony, “‘and the women whose protests you mention are mere political children.” The analogy is not quite obvious, perhaps, but as repartee the figure was effective enough,

God's Tests.

God’s ways of testing us are His own. They are tried upon us when we least expect them. They strike us in our least protected part. They are to the unzegenerated heart cruelty,but to them which believe they are the chastening which forms our baptism into the fold of God. That would not be chastening which did not hurt us. And whether the discipline be hard or light, it isonly a fool in intellect and an ingrate in heart who will not sub- mit calmly and nobly to the decree,— Kate Upson Clark,

Cosmetics Among the Romans.

All that had been previously done in the way of facial decoration was left far in the shade by the ancient Romans. All the Latin writers—historians, poets, naturalists and others—mention it in one way or another. It was the practice of Roman actors, as it has been of those of the profession since the theater has existed. Many of the emperors used paint more or less freely. Heliogabalus, one of the most eccentric, when he en- tered Rome for the first time, had his eyelashes painted black and his cheeks red and white. In the time of Augustus the custom was universal among women of fashion, details of which are given by Horace, Catullus, Tibullus, Ovid, Pro- pertius and the rest. Martial speaks of the chalk of Fabulla that fears the rain, and the wax of Sabella that fears the sun.

Horace mentions red lead and carmine as among the articles employed, Ju- venal in one of his satires describes a paste that covers the faces of wives and adheres with tenacity to the faces of hus- bands. Coquettes, according to Horace, used a paste prepared from beans, much like that used by some modern French- women, and were also given to the use of cummin.
