Hoorab for Canada ! TLo GloBo'a Ottawa correspouden gives the followin;,' as iho ocoupatious of the membora of the House of Commona : There are 03 lawjeri, 33 faimers, 26 morcbants, 21 pLysicians, 19 geutlemen, 1'2 mauufactuiers, 10 jouinalisti, 6 uiill wiiCis, 3 coiUiactorg, 8 real estate agents, 2 survcyera, 1 Ttlerinary surgeon, 1 towu:!l.i;> clerk, 2 distilkiJ, 1 financial agent, 1 iiiBiuauce mauai,'«r, 1 banker, 1 sLopowner, 1 Oil refiner, 1 priuler and 1 civil engineer. We give elsewhere a fairly full syi o^sis of iho new marriage law. Any young couple uot desiring io g' through this new and aggravating /^»â€" -1 -"• > '- o-' â€"â€"'•'"â- * ^" furo Satiuday. It doca seem that oiu- li'gialatoiB, instead of complicat- ing thu inarriage laws Bliould rather ejigatc, their faculties in simplifying them. There arc loo many bacheloii iu this country now, and any impedi- menta Biiohas aio here referred to, placed iu the way of young men and women, will certainly add to tlio peiccntago ol the now deplorable uiiuibtr. . The buBiucBB community of this country breathes freer siuoo Premier Laurier's aunouncoiuent at St. John's last week that caution will be used in order not to injuro establialioil interests. His wurda on this point were : "The first arlicie of our programme ie a reform of the taiiff. It is not a question to bo decided, for it has already been decided by the people on June 28, and we have rc- o<»i\ed the inissiou to change the tariir to better meet the needs and conditions of the country. I declare heio on thi'j lirat oceasiou that piesi-nts itself, that we will proceed with caution in order not to injure tatablibhed intercsta. Wo are to have a Bession on Aug. 19, but it will bo very short. We will vote the Budget and nothing more. There will-be no legiaUtiou ; wo will pro- vide for the public expensea, nothing more. The changes in tbe tariff will bo difcrred to the next session, which will be held in January or February." A remarkable and sudden change has come over the great social faliio oC our country since the advent of the bicycle. Some writers are declaring tiiatitis destrucliro of matruuony ; that the wheel forms (he young man's only love and he thiuki of nothing else. We would lake auotbor view. "Fa- miliarity Ueeds oomtompt," and the force of young men being compoUed to await iu season and out upon Sarah Jane's imperial domaudg is iu many cftBCB full brotiier to familiarity- "•Ditttftiuse lends enohautmdut.' John notices 8arah Jane flying by him on her silent steed. In a bandsome ontfit and with a jauaty air. He decides there and then that uhe is the girl for him. The statement (hat the wbeel will reduce marriage is bosh. Here we welcome the tourist every day. He comes to town unheralded, stops and refreshes himself, then hies him on. How much more knowledge young Canada gains of the country awheel than would be gained in auy other way only those who have toured a few days know. It broadens and develops the young mind, strengthens the physique and adds to longevity if proper caution is observed iu the exercise. The wheel is all-conriucr- iug in its march. There i? not sufficient attention paid to the preservation of the insec- tivorous birds in this country. Pro- teotioa to the biids should be one of the first les.sous instilled into the young mind by every parent. To- ronto ie suffering to-day partly from neglect of this duty. Its shade trees are being destroyed by a grub. The birds were largely destroyed long ago. Embryo huntsmen are allowed to range the suburbs of that city with firearms and kill off everything with feathers that they can draw ahead on. A young Toronto had with whom we remonsliatfcd not long ago replied that when the birds became totally extinct they would shoot the grubs. Whether the boys would he as suc- cessful iu exterminating the vermin as thoy have been with the birds is a matter of very gravo doubt. Tne New Marriage Law.

A story of a miraculous escape from drnwaiiig on Lake Sinicoe comes from Orillia. A siuiill row boat containing a jiin\)ii man, a small boy and a nui ue girl uged 13, witli a tbirlcen inonlhu' old hahy, wai driven away from Htrawberry lilnudduriny thtgala ofV,°edue>diiy even- ing last. Night came on and Iho boat drifted before the wind until 12 o'clock, wlien it crashed into the old wharf at Doavertun, 15 miles from the point where it started. The occupants all managed to crawl into the stone crib work under the wharf, where Ihpy remainnd in three feet of water until 8 o'clouk the following inorniiij;. They man aitcd to faflten a rag to a pice of stick and shoved it llirou<;h a crack in the planking above their hmid*. This attracted attention and they ware rescued in a very exhausted coLdi- tion. The parent! of the children, who b«lom» to Totoiito, were frtntie with (jrief at the supposed Inag of Iheir durl- in^i, the boat haring been found bottom side up on shore. The reaction when their V>abos were returned from the jaws oi death was pathutio to behold. The little nun* girl, aged 1,1, whose name is Ethel Smith, acted like a 'heroine and kept the iifant in;fa«r charge. 'Uuhaimed, delivering it to its mother safe, the only member of the party that had not suffervd severely frona exertion and exposure. North Grey will have another parlia- nrarttary tussle now.
