DEVELOPMENTS OF THE LATE SESSION.

The Mail and Empire, of Toront i. sume up the developments of the late session Ot Parliament as follows :

“Three million teven hundred thousand acres of gold land for a tramway.

“Twelve millions more expenditure.

“Zeyen miilious more debt

“Two million+ more taxes,

“Higher duties on sugar. ;

“Lower rate of interest on the savings 0 the thrity. . :

“Ten per cent. less wages 1p one despis- ed industry.

“Ap Act for the disfrancbisement of the

ople

“Contracts without tender.

“Gold dredgiug leaves for the Merciers and Drolets.

“QOrdera by wholesale for the Toroato Globe.

A coufession that the Dru mmond pur- care robbed us of half a million.

“Dredging jobs without competition to ministerial relatives, who draw the profits but do not perform the work.

“An attempted raid npon the Man itoba educational endowment,

“Millions tor‘ he boys’; taxes for the people.

“A meas2ure compelling the Montreal Harbor Board to build a dry dock that it do 8 not want in the east end where favor- ites have Janda. j

‘‘An appeal to the Pope to send out a delegate to ;reserye order.

“But, withal, a strong affection for re- sponsible rule and a desire to get rid of the Senate and the Ancitor General because they obstruct j bbery.”

These points are worthy of note.

“A Cool Tn."

‘*He's a cool un,’’ is the way the sol- diers in a certain English regiment de- scribe ove of their officers, a young man whose self possession in a time of dan- ger saved bis men from defeat and probably fromdeath. Thscircumstance which gave this officer bis reputation is related by Rudyard Kipling in The Westminster Magazine. He writes:

A very young officer, who had gone almost siraizht from school to the army and thence to India, was leading his company through a rocky pass on re- turning a scouting expedition. They were beset by the enemy, who fired at them from behind the rocks, and tha m+n were growing very un- steady. Those in the rear began to be impatient and shouted to the men in front: ‘‘Hurry up. What are you wait- ing for there?’’ ’

The. young officer answered quite coolly: ‘‘Hold on a minute. I’m light- ing my pipe.”’

And he struck a match and lit it. There was a roar of laughter, and a sol- dier called out, ‘‘ Well, since you’re se pressinu, I think I'll have a pipe my- self.’’ And he, too, struck a match and began to smoke. This bit of fun steadied the men, and they came through in good order.
