The action was instituted "by the Attorney-General of the Province of Ontario against the Attorney-Géneral of the Dominion to decide whether the Bppreme Coutt of Canadd has jutis- dietion to entertain a reference under section 60 of the Supreme Court Act 8 1. The dog's nature 1s warm, and the furoace's nature is cold. But the pup simply adores Jobn Scott. One night John Scott left the ban- uet of the Petonic club at 1 o'clock in the morning when his wife had told {bim positively to be home at 10:30. had teld him nlso to drink but ove That was; the only cocktall 0: th nt. lexicon ot ree yot ohn Scott wended his homeward way gave proof that be had studied the lex- fcon: He was pot intoxicated. He could still lift his feet as he walked, but hen he had lifted a foot he waved it the air a moment before he decided where to set It down, and it did mot always hit the exact spot he bad selected. But bis brain was clear as a bell. He remembered that he must put coal in the furnace before he went to bed. When be opened the cellar door the pup was asleep on his bed in a box, but by the time John Beott had de scended the cellar stairs the pup and its affectionate nature were wile of joy and rushed across the cellar like a rubber shoe tired out of a cannon and stopped itself by making a fiying tackle with its teeth on the bem of one of the legs of John Bceott's dress trousers. John Scott swayed, put out a hand and sat down on the ficor, and the pup af- fectionately climbed Into his lap and, putting two coal dusty paws on John Bott's shirt bosom, kissed him. This evidence of canine affection was & much for Jolin Scott. He gem- red it with the reception bi uld bably receive from Ars. Stott, and was 80 affected that be hugged the pup to his bosom and wept. 'Fbea he placed the pup carefully on the cellar floor and stood up. The pup immed) gtely got Between his feet, threw bim wri fie walked tg the coal bln and, when be bent down to pick up the coal scoop, grabbed the tall of bis dress coat in a death grip. Mr. Scott divested himself of the pup by taking off bis coat and hang- fog it on a pail--the one the poker hangs on. All indications pointed to a yermanent suspension of the pup. The up bung to the coattail, and the cont Bung on the nail, and Mr. Scott turned tp the coal bin. He ruised the scoop ready to plunge it into the coal, but be did so he paused. The pup was ndiog on the coal, just where tho about to scoop up coat. At fntervala' the pup would dash down and worry the heel af Mr. Scott's dies Erousers, Lut Whensier tha ¥vop Abr proached the coal the pup got in front of it. Sometimes Mr. Scott scooped up the pup, and sgmetimes he missed the pup, the coal and tbe bin, but when- ever he got coal be got the Lr too. 1f by chance be gut coal in the scoop without any pup the pup showed its canine affection by jumping into the scoop. Then the coal and pup would slide off the scoop on to the tioor. Not for worlds would Jobn Beott have shoveled the affectionate pup into the furnace, but be saw that Le was likely to do so any minute if he con- tinned to fool with the scoop. There was but ope way to get the coal into the furnace withont cremating the pup. fo John Scott proceeded in that way. He sat on the coal and held tLe pup ln {his lap 'and threw coal plece by plece at the furnace door. | And this was the only basis for Mrs. Scott's unjust suspicion that John Scott bad taken more than one cock- tail at the Petonic club banquet. Bhe came tg the head of the cellar stairs to gee what was bombarding the tin sides of the furnace, and she saw John Scott sitting on, the coal In bis shirt sleeves 'weeping over the affection of the pup and throwing coal at the furnace with his left hand, while the pup nestled tnside bis dress waistcoat and kissed ing taken more than one cocktalll | But a woman never knows how the |affection ot a canine affects a tender bearted Petonic club banqueter.

There were also questions pertaining to the 8 3 Court Act and of the British North America Act. Tle Lord Chancellor, in delivering judgment, d bed the case as most mportant. Bpeaking of the British North Amerioa} Act, he said there could be no daubt that under is e Dominion on the one hand snd the provinces on the other, cover the whole area of Cinade. It would be &ubversive of the entire scheme and policy of the act to assume that any point of internal self-government was withheld from Canada. Numerous points have arisen and may hereafter arise upon those provisions of the act which draw a dividing line be- tween what belongs to the Dominion or to the province respectively. On behalf of the province it is ar- gued, indeed, that the Dominion Act authorizing questions to be asked of the Bupreme Court is an invasion of provincial rights, but not because the ower of asking such questions be- ongs exclusively to the provinces, The real ground is far wider. It is no less than that no Legislature in Can- | ada has the right to pass an act for awake. The pup gave one little bark | asking such questions at all. This is of the present appeal which makes it so grave. It would be one thing to say under the Canadian constitution what has been done could be dome only to 8 Provincial Legislature within its own rovince. It is quite a different thing say it cannot be done at all, being, 88 if js, a matter affecting the inter- nal affairs of Canada, and on the face of it regulating the functions of a 'sourt of law which are part of the ordinary machinery of the Govern- ment in all civilized countries. What in substance their lordships are asked to do i8 to say that the Cansdiap Parliement ought not to pass laws like this because it may be | embarrassing and onerous to the court snd to declare this law invalid be- cause it ought not to have been pass- od. Their lordships would be depart- ing from their legitimate province if they entertained the arguments of appellants. They would really pronoyncing upon the poli of the Canadian Parliament, whic Jusively the bdsiness of the Cana. ian people, end is no concern of this board. It is sufficient to point out the mis- chief and incogvenience which might aris¢ from an indiscriminate and in- judicious use of the act and leave it to the cobsideration of those who alone aré lawfully and constitutional- 1y entitled to decide upon such a mattef: appeal is therefore dis- missed. - Bupreme Court Has Jurisdiction.

New York, May 17.--The New York World say this morning: [* Tbe stock of the Canadian Pacific | Railroad sold yesterday at 270 a share, | | an advance of about 20 points within | | the last month.
