Nine out of ten tariff revisions in both countries have been made by Parliament, without reference to the electors. That is the common pzactice-ihe established constitu- tional practice. A public man of Mr. King's w‘de information is perfectly aware of this. If we are not mistaken, Mr. King's latest ef- fort is one of the mort devious and least effective that he has ever made.

In August 1928 the same condition oc- curred and lasted for two months. In 1929 it persisted for three months and in 1930 for nearly five - months. Skill lusts were made of fall pol- l lcn which were all negative with the exception of marsh elder which produced a red eruption which oozed and then dried in crusts- eczema.

Weir emphasized the growth of the D0- minions export trade with Great Britain and in this connection he spoke in the strongest terms of approval of’ the perfercnce granted by Great Britain on Canadian wheat and the ofIcr of a quota on bacon. The Minister of Agriculture has been very diligent since taking show’. ‘adian industries. i “In return, Great Britain extends iadvarltagcs to Canadian products, While these various lmtlons were] closing their markets to the pro- ducts o.’ Canadian agriculture, the‘ King Government, as a matter of‘, deliberate policy, was lowering‘ the Canadian tariff, and the Min-i lstcr of Agriculture found "himself mi a position to present to the House‘ some impressive statistrs showing ill»; results of this procedure upon the Dominicans foreign trade, es- pecially in the products of the. farm. The public have not forgotten in tlrs regard Mr. King's extraord- inary appcals to them against any such action as mght imperll what he was pleased to describe as the gocd will existing in the United States toward this country. As ex- pressed in tariffs, ‘Mr. King was content that this good will“ should result in the exclusion of Canadian fnrlu products from the Amcrcarl markets and in the progressive lowering of Canadian customs duties an imports from the United States. This was one of tho most pecular phases rrf a tariff attitude which the people of this country were never able to understand and which they iverc unable ever to explain in terms (onsstcnt with the principle of Canadian fiscal integrity. Mr. Weir made the claim, in In that thr- ‘more particularly those of the farm lfleld and forest, either by admittng these into Great Britain free of duty against a duty upon like for- lcign products, or, bythe establish- ment of quotas, as in the case of bacon. It will necessarily require some time to determine the full ef- fect of th's new and important de- parture in fiscal policy of Empire countries, but, upon the whole, the scheme appears to be received fall- substarltlal advantage accruing,from it. Impor-tations from Great Britain are l'kely' to increase and one of ‘the first conseque ic- should appear in the placing of orders by Can- adian merchants, withheld for some time past in anticipation of the lower rates of duty now in force." COERCING PA RLIAMEQVT In answer to a question by a ivestel-n member in Parliament last week, Premier Bennett stated that the Government had the matter of a bonus of five cents a bushel on wheat under consideration. 'I‘tle announcement came in answer to a remark made by John Variance, the Liberal member for South Battle- ford. who asserted that if the bonus granted was not. "revolution was nbvx-ltnblif." Then hr: said: “In vivw of the press announcements that there have been representations made by the three Western Provinc- es, what is the decision of the Gov- ernment on this matter?" The language used by the member for south Battleford, comments the Brantford Expositor, was nothing short of coercion. It was a threat. to Parhament that, if the demand were not granted without respect to other interests throughout the country and the welfare of the taxpayers at large, violence would result. and that nsequently the Government ought to yield to the demand. rm floor of Parliament u no place for language of that char- acter.

The spirit of hostility manifested covered with the oiled silk or paper and the adhesive tape. This should remain in place fortwenty-four to forty-eight hours unless the itching or burning is felt earlier, in which case it may be removed.

Spence in the Otago, N.Z., Witness. 1 There are, foo, certain dlffercncem between the spirits of the Lowlands and Highlands, though these are by no means great. The demonology of d may be divided into three sections: Bogiea, or demonic beings, spirits of the brownie typo, and fairies. Of the first class is themysterlous Broungcr, whose name was once literally a thing to conjure within“ Newharen, Edinburgh's fishing sub- urb. But it is evident that the anonymous writer who was first to make mention of him in his “Tales and Traditions of Leigh," published in 1885, was totally unaware of Broungcrs delnonhcod. In the work alluded to, Brounger is described as “an old fisherman who at one time resided at Newhaven, and, who. when unable to go to sea himself, used to ask from his neighbours a few oysters or fish on their return from fishing." If these were refused, ill luck was cer- tain to follow, and so Brounger‘: demands came to be regarded in the light of" an established cuiua. m course of time Brounger passed away, but his name remained as something which held a. mysterious significance. For the Newhaven fishermen of pre-trawling times, the expression "Brounger in your head sheets" was equivalent to the cast- ing of a spell on his vessel, only to be raised by making the. boat des- cribe a. circle in the water three times. But we arrive at the true signm. canoe of Brounger when we discover that tradition averred him to be "a flint, and the son of a flint." I'm- the flint, or meteorite, is the sym- bol, all the world over, of the Thun- der-gcd, the emblem of the fecun- datlng rain, and the talisman by the Sid of which winds can be loos- ed. In early times, when the first fishermen from the Baltic settled on the coast of Midlothlan, they probably brought with them a flint symbol of this kind as a species of tribal fetish, the root of whose name seems to be described in the old Gothic word Brennan to burn." Hence Brounger is “the burner," the wlelder of lightning; wn- L’ , ‘ in his emblem of the flint and placated by gifts from that sea-harvest which he could grant or withhold from his people by sending favorable winds or un- loosing the tempests. In our opinion “rounge is one and thesame with Per-unu, once the Thunder-god of the fishermen of the Island of Rugen, which lies of! the Pomeranian coast. Its people were of Slavonic stock, and clear proof exists that the fishing races of the Baltic and Frlesland had for many centuries a. prolonged lntq- course with the Firth of Forth. In- deed, Nennius alludes to the estuary as "Mare Frenesslcum," or "the Frleslan Sea.” Doubtiess settlers from all parts of the Teutonic-Slavonic seaboard of what is now North Germany a:- rived in the firth at separate times, and -the racial character of the maritime population of the Midlo- thlan coast is still sharply ulatlnbb from that of the landward people. The Slavonic character of Brounger is apparent, too, from another name bestowed upon him, "Johnny Boag," for Bog ls the Slavonic term for "god." If that. name were mentioned in the hearing of a. fisherman of the older generation the stoutest heart. After he had accomplished any task of peculiar difficulty he was in the habit of depositing his coat under a rock, when on his way to his boat, it was supposed to re- strain him from putting to sea, Not far from Newhaven, near the Citadel of Iielth, and on the site of the present docks, there formerly ‘existed a great rock which was ra- Dorted to be the haunt of a demon known locally as Shellycoat. The urchins of the port were wont to run round this atone three times, chanting the whilez... Shellycoat, Shellycoat, gang awn‘ home,‘ I cry no. yer mercy, I fear no yer name. Sheliycoat is known as a water demon of the some class as the nix and the kelpia in Scottish re. 81011! l0 m‘ Bliilrt as Forfarshirc and the Borders. He is described as s gigantic monster of undeflnable Pfflwrticns, of great awlftness and mnlilhancy. delighting in deeds of blood and violence. He wore a gar- ment compoaed of shells, tbs fur- eemc rattling of which appalled and without this supernatural rraiment he was rendered entirely harmless. <The water kelple is a supernatur- surface to seize upon and devour human victims. To encounter him and ride upon his back is to invite certain destruction. Throughout the Highlands today many traditions are still found which tell of savage spirits regarded by the later population with terror. One of these was the Ourlsk, a creature resembling the classical Satyr, horned and shaggy. The folk-lore of Loch Lomond and the ‘Proasaeha is rich in tradi- tions of the Ourisks. ‘There, on the slope of Ben Venue. just above El- len's Isle, is the Corie-nan-Uruis- geau, the Corrie of the Shaggy Men, where these strange creatures fore- gatheredon occasions. It 1s stated by Sir Walter Scott that Rob Roy once gained a victory by dressing his men in goatsklns to resemble Ourisks, and s0 affrighting his ene- mies by the stratagem that they could not stand their ground. On the other hand, Ourlska were frequently employed, like Brownies. as domestic servants by farmers and in the families of Highland chiefs. In the Isle of Skye the name "ourisk" is still applied to a dour, surly man living a hermit life, and is a. term of scathing contempt. A passage in Pltscottie, obscure and tantalising, still casts a slender balm o! iism upon the nature of early Scottish tradition regarding ‘a spirit known as Hudhart. It men- tions that cn the eve of the assas- sination of James-I at Perth, “ane Emh Woman." a Gaelic-speaking sybil, no doubt, warned several of the hapless King's entourage, prior to the commission of the deed, that a conspiracy was on foot to murder their master. They paid no heed to the cailieachs warning, and refused her admittance to the royal prg5_ ence; but, evidently in banter, ask- ed her where abs had obtained her information. She replied that "Hud- hart had told her." Strange that a Highland spae-wife should have possessed a familiarity with a name so indubitably of the Norse, for I-iudhart is merely the hoodie-craw, the raven of Odin, which sat on his shoulder and prophesied. But the prophetic spirit ln Scot- land la frequently a gnome or dwerg. The early fifteenth century “Pmllrecies of Rymour, Beld, and -.. .,," as found in the Lans- downe 148., allude to the creature who communicates thqm as "a lytyll min." In the ilrlt verso he is spoken of as a "heme" or bairrlflgoodly for to see," but in the other verses his true character as a supemetural agent is clear enough. 1 bray this littell man in fere that he wolde truly ma say When shall this ends without were, or when shall come that day?

IN CANADA B gives the Scottish Brownie the red cowl worn by some of the Teutonil gnomes or underground people, and indeed, there seems to be no cleal line of’ demarcation between Browr nie and the gnome. A description of the one would, in some cases, serve for a picture of the other. But Brownie is frequently described a1 of mortal stature. He seems to rnt to resemble in his qualities the German house-gnome, who aided the housewife in her labors. He was invariably touchy, and, if he did not rat . receive‘ his reward of a bowl of cream or'a. silver piece, for sweep- ing the hearth and doing the odd work of a. kitchen in the morning, he would take himself off and never come back. Often he would lurk in some dark and retired cellar or out- house all day, until nightfall, when he could be heard at his task after the famllyhad retired to rest. The Scottish fairies were spirit who appear to have inhabited a realm situated between those of the living and the dead, and it may bt that they were the souls of the dead awaiting rebirth in a shadowy spheru like the Welsh Annwn. Dead foil and mortal heroes s em to havt fallen, by evil hep, ill this sphere from which they could only be res~ cued by the powers of magic or tht breaking of some spell. Thomas Ry- mour and Mr. Kirke, minister oi Aberfoyle, were so caught up into Faerie, and while the first succ "- 0 ed in returning tn earth for a. sea.- son, he was compelled to go bacl to Elphame, while Kirke remained a prisoner there. It is a mistake to suppose that fairies were all of female sex. Tt the land of the unliving, such al Faerie was, all sorts of spirits, hu- man as well as supernatural, werl finally relegated. If there be a res- emblance between the names of thl Classical Fates and the Celtic Fain ies there is little between their ac~ tual characters and habits, and tht Celtic Fairyland is a very different place from the Greek Hades. mac's PILE o|ururnr Gives Quick Relief u. all cases of Internal and Exter. nal Piles.
