For this purpose there is no medicine can take the place of Dr. W‘illiams’ Pink Pills.

Three hundred and forty-seven gentlemen have spent a half- hour and between them have covered many miles to settle a question that I should leave with confidence to a kitchen maid. At last there is a division, and Iwaich the members going out and coming.in again. And I wonder why a member should not be able to record his vote automatically; why he should spend his life in iramping through lobbies to give an opinion with his feet rather than with his head; why he should waste his time in making and listening to speech- es which are either inaudible or uninter- esiing. The real interest of the members seems concentrated on keeping curious and schoolboy traditions. Outside the stripe that marks the bar. you are not in the House, and members hover, tip- toeing the line and retreating. One point seems to be to keep your silk hat on your head unless you want to go to lsleep or to address the Speaker. The iincoming members bow to the Speaker as they pass to their seats. Few Eng- lishmen bow gracefully: none of these few has got into Parliament. Were l a Speaker, I would rise and throw the mace at a member who out such a ridi- culous figure as the British legislator bowing to the chair. And all this time the question of the swing door goes on. It is a long and dismal proceeding when one reflects on the really important questions which might occur to six hundred odd gentle- men gathered for the purpose of doing something. Down below a man is droning some- thing about a door somewhere in the building that opens that way when it ‘should open this way. He is very pre- lcise and very dull. He flounders and lfumbles, and treats many foolish little ‘questions at great length. At last, im- pressed by a feeling that the scene was quite familiar,â€"somehow,â€"I asked my neighbor: “Which is Balfour?” “Those," he replied. Then it flashes before me I have seen it all in caricature. The caricature is the actual reality. My eyes follow his discreet finger, and find a pair of soles staring at me from the table on which the mace lies. Mr. Balfour does stick his feet on the table. and the Speaker does not ask him to behave. The pic- ture might have jumped from the pages of a comic paper. and thereafter it was impossible to avoid seeing my lawgivers through the atmosphere of caricature.
