THE RATE OF INTEREST.
Sir Oliver Mowat’s bill respecting in- terest re ade:—
Whereas’ on the part of some lenders of money, a practice hae been obtained of charging exorbitant rates of interest to needy or ignorant borrowers, sometimes as much as 5 per cent, per diem, or at the rate of 1-825 per cent per annum; and, whereas it is desirable that the protection ot the law should be extended to necessit- ious borrower,; Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follow-:—
1. This act may be cited as the Interest Act 1897,
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of chapter one hundred and twenty-seven of the revised Statutes of Canada, the rate of
Interest reserved or payable on bonds,
promis-ory potes, bills and coatracta of every kind shall not exceed eight percent. per annuum, and no promise or agret= ment to pay a higher rate of interest shall
be valid,
in an action hereafter brought on promissory note, bill or contract kind it appears that payments have ade thereon on account of interest in excess of eight per cent. per annum, the ju/ge may in his discretion treat such ex es-ive payments or any part thereof as payments on account of principal and ren- der judgment accordingly.
t. Ti.is act applies to instruments and agreements heretofore as well as hereafver executed or made, but the second section shall not apply toany payment made be- tore the passing of th s act.

Wnaling at Amagansett.
Away out on the eastern end of Long Is- land, almost as much at sea as though it were an island by itself, is the little fish- ing village of Amagansett. It lies directly on the ocean, and has neither harbor nor wharfs nor ships, yet it is known far up and down the coast as a whaling town, for it is at this point, strange to say, that the whales come nearest ta the land. They are sighted first within a few wiles of Ama- gansett.
The weather seasoned surfmen, who fish through the breakers for food fish, will give you a dozen reasons why this is so and why their little navy is unique among the fishing fleets of the north Atlantic coast. But they are mostly guesses, and we only know that the whales have fay- ored Amagansett thus for many years. During all the summer and fall the hardy fishermen who live in the gray cottages among the dunes set their nets for blue and weak fish, but from the end of winter to early suramer they become fishermen of more heroic cast, and chase and take and land the biggest ‘‘fish’’ that swims—the whale. Nearly every season whales are sighted by the life savers who patrol the beach, or by the lookeut at the life saving station, and when one or more of them are taken, the occasion is one to be marked with a white stone in the history of the eleepy little village.—Harper’s Weekly.
Between Carthage and Stislingville in Jefferson county, N. Y., there isa stretch of country where the sand drifts like snow, making great banks and blinding the eyes of those who look up wind. It isa desolate, barren region, where the soil is only as deep as the roots of the grass.

~ Itis often difficult to convince peo- ple their blood is impure, until dread- ful carbuncles, abscesses, boils, scrof- ula or salt rheum, are painful proof of the fact. It is wisdom now, or when- ever there is any indication of
impure
blood, to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and prevent such eruptions and suffering.
*“‘I] had a dreadfui carbuncle abscess, red, fiery, fierce and sore. The doctor at- tended me over seven weeks. When the abscess broke, the pains were terribie, and I thought I should not live through it. I heard and read so much about Hood’s Sarsaparilla, that I decided to take it, and my husband, who was suffering with boils, took it also. It soon purified our

WHAT WOMEN WEAR. The use of sun plaiting is an impor tunt feature of fashion this season. Some Parisian authority is responsi- ble for the announcement that gloves embroidered with black are considered out of date.
Bright red silk parasols will be very popular this season, and the old Victo- rian styles with fringe around the edge have come back ugain.
Black grenadines, in various conven- tional patterns, made over colored silk, are very fashionable gowns this season, and the variety of fancy grenadines has uo limit.
Something called astrakhan lace is set forth as a novelty, and it is made of silk, very airy and light like old fash- ioned honiton, with a pattern prettily defined by close loops of silk.
It seems that ears are decidedly out of faskion fer women in Paris except for hearing purposes, as the hair is | drawn to cover them so completely that | there is no trace of their existence left.
Very desirable hats of Java and Pana- ma straw, trimmed with plain bands of ribbon and stiff quills, are now in evi- dence in the shops. They are to be worn for cycling and all other outdoor sports and are very stylish with the simple tailor made gown.
Pouched bodices have vigorously re- rnewed their popularity, and some of the latest models are pouched at the back as well as the front. A wide fold- ed belt is the usual accompaniment, and it should be made of black satin if you would look slender.
‘The English tailor made coat has no gathers at the top of the sleeve. It has a little fullness, which is arranged in small dart seams covered with fancy braiding. Many of the coats are elabo- rately braided, and several different kinds of braid are used on one garment. —New York Sun.

sdk Death Through # Tarantula,
One of the quickest and most com- plete and justifiable killings that ever I saw came about through a tarantula. It was at a mine camp, and the camp bully had a tarantula impaled on a stick. A man newly arrived from the east stood gazing, fascinated with hor- ror, at the squirming reptile, working its black fangs in the effort to reach something that it could fusten them into. Suddenly, without warning, the bully thrust the tarantula straight into the tenderfoot’s face. His whiskers saved him from the fangs, but he let out a yell as if he had actually been bitten and jumped back, I fully believe, ten feet. Then, as the fellow came pok- ing the tarantula toward him again, the tenderfoot drew his revolver and turned Joose on his tormentor. His first shot would have been enough, as it went straight through the fellow’s body, but the tenderfoot had his excitement tuo work off, and he never stopped shooting antil his revolver hed been emptied and the man with the tarantula was a sieve. ‘*Served him right,’’ was the verdict of the coroner’s jury, and the case never went to court for trial. —New York Sun.
Wesley Is There.
One of the most beautiful English church edifices is Barnet church, Herts. In this church, according to The Meth- odist Times of London, are groined uiches in which respectively are appro- priateiy placed well considered and tleverly modeled statuettes of England’s six greatest preachers. The list is as fol- lows: St. Angustin of Canterbury, the apostle of England; St. Aiden, bishop of Lindisfarne; St. Huzh of Lincoln; Latimer, the martyr; John Wesley and Janon Liddon. So far as we are aware, this is the first time John Wesley has yeen placed in an Episcopal church ou a evel with such goodly comnanv.
