HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

A CORRESPONDENT of a London contemporary give
some ugefill French recipes for vegetables, from which
we select the following :

Haricots verts a la Lyonnaise.—Striag some French
bans whole, or, if very large, cut them in two across
the middle. Boil them in plenty of water, with salt
to taste, and, when done, drain them dry. In the
meantime, cut one or two onions into thin slices
lengthwise. Put them in a frying pan with a lump
of butter or dripping, and keep stirring until they are
a golden brown colour, then add the French beans,
with pepper and salt to taste, and toss the whole for
ten minutes, adding the least drop of stock; and a very
little vinegar, or lemon juice. This is a most excellent
way of cooking old French beans. The length of time
required for boiling, of course, quite depends upon
their toughnest.
- -

Chou geur, au gratin.—After well cleaning the cauli-
flower in cold salted water, cook it, and dry thoroughly,
and then put in a buttered dish that will stand the
oven. Pour over the cauliflower a good strong butter
sauce, into which you have grated some Parmesan,
Gruyere, or any cheese. Next shake over through a
coarse sieve some sifted baked breadcrumbs, a little
pepper and salt; then more cheese, and a little
fresh butter on the top. Bake until it becomes a light
brown colour.
Beetroot ft la Charbrcuse.—Cut a well-cooked beetroot
in slices, and then place between each two slices a thin
layer of force-meat, composed of finely chopped onion,
parsley, and any herbs that are liked, with pepper,
salt, and a little mustard. Dip these double slices
into a good batter, and then fry them in plenty of
dripping until they are a good colour. Save very hot,
and with a little salt scattered over.

Purée or Vegetable Marrow or Pumpkin. —Pare off the
skin, and cat the vegetable into small pieces, and boil
until tender in some iJalt water. Then rub through a
taming, arid boil again with the addition of a piece of
butter, a little cream, and some flour. Boil until it
reduces, and, when serving, add the well-beaten yolks
of two eggs.

ALLEGED MURDER BY A FATHER.

A terrible occurrence is reported to have taken
place at South Norwood on Sunday evening. It is
alleged that James Cole, described as a labourer, while
in a fit of frenzy, seized his son' a boy about four years
of age, by the heels and dashed his brains out against
a wall. Cole was immediately taken into custody by
the police.
Cole was brought up at Croydon police-court on
Monday morning, and charged with the crime. A
witness named Gilbert said he was going aloh the
Pridham-road on Sunday when he heard cries of
murder. He rushed into rrisoner's house, and saw
him holding the child by the legs and swinging it
against the wall. He seized the prisoner by the
collar, and dragged him away, When he got Cole
outside the house a struggle ensued, prisoner trying
to get away. Richard Cole, aged thirteen, a son
of the prisoner, said he was outside the house
on Sunday, and heard his mother screaming
murder. He looked through the door, and saw his
father dash the child's head on the floor. His father
had been in all day, and had drunk nothing but
water. Prisoner was remanded. A large crowd
endeavourei to seize him while he was being con-
veyed to the police-station, apparently intending to
purish him, but he was saved from their violence by
icemen.

When in the police-station, after the hearing before
the magistrates, the prisoner put on a vacant stare,
and inquired whether his child (the deceased) was
alive. He was informed that it was dead, whereupon
he burst into tears and wept for some time. He also
declared that a state of semi-starvation was the cause
of his crime.

THE HIGHGATE SHOOTING CASE.

On Monday, at the Ilighga'e Police-court, Charles
Henry Kent, 13, living with his father, a manufac-
turer, at Southwood, Southwood-lane, Highgate, was
charged, on remand, with causing the death of
Frederick Fitzroy Bunday, aged 18, an under-
gardener in the service of prisoner's father, by shoot-
in; —Mr. Beslev ---ed fr

og him with a rook rifle.—Mr. Besley appear_ tor
the prisoner.—The coroner's jury, it will be remem•
bared, found a verdict of " Manslaughter " against
the accused,

Dr. Henderson now told the Bench the skull
was thin at that part which was perforated by the
bullet.
Sydney Kent, aged 11, brother of the accused, said
he was sitting on the bank at the time, and he was
sure no words passed between his brother and the de-
ceased. He did not see him pull, the trigger of the
rifle. He knew he had one hand on the lock and the
other resting by his side.
By Mr. Bodkin: He was aware that the gun would
go off as wvli at half cock as it would at full-cock.
Whet) it exploded the deceased had just stooped down
to pick up a weed.

_
Mr Besley said he hoped tha Bench would not be
influenced by the crzoner s jury, and send the prisoner
for trial. It was purely an accidental occurrence, and
one which he had no doubt would cause the accused
lasting regret. He need not say how pained were his
father and other relatives.
Mr. Bodkin said the Bench had, after the most
careful consideration, come to the determination to
send the prisoner for trial, but they would admit him
to bail in one surety of £lOO.

THE BELGIAN " TIR NATIONAL."

The Belgian " Ti; National" inaugurated its
twenty-fifth anniversary on Sunday afternoon, in the
presence of the King, the Ministers, and the most die-
tinguished men of all parties in the councils of the
nation. In response to an appeal from the Burgo-
master, the inhabitants of Brussels decorated and
illuminated their houses.
The invitation to foreign nations to send con-
tingents to enter into this friendly competition in rifle
shooting this year has been general. France sends
about forty men from Lille, and there are also
detachments from Valenciennes and the society
of the Tir at Roubaix. Several German, Swiss,
Italian, and Dutch teams, and representative teams
of English and other visitors, arrived.
The Chasseurs Eclaireurs and Garde Civique, with
their bands, met the various foreign contingents in the
Grand Square facing the Nord Station on Saturday,
and, accompanied by a torchlight proce,4si,,n, escotted
them through the various streets to the Hotel de Ville,
where the Burgomaster gave them 4,vil official recep-
tion, and where they partook ,of ref re,htnents.
The proceedings on Sunday: were inaugurated at
eight o'clock by a salvo of artillery. At one o'clock
the cavalry and household troops paia-led with the
Garde Civique, and, accompanied lw the tireurs of all
nations, formed a procesbion to the Tir at St. Jost Jan
Noode, and awaited the arrival of the King, who,
after the reception of the address from the President
and Council, declared the Twenty-fifth anniversary of
the Tir National open.

THE CROPS IN NIANITOBA.—A statement isemed by
the Department of Agriculture of Manitoba shows
that the general succes of the grain harvest of the
province is now placed beyond a doubt. The average
increase over 1882 of the acreage sown with wheat is
54 per cent. ; Oats 58 per cent. ; barley :36 per cent. ;
pees 46 per cert. In barley a fair averbge yield will
be general, while bountiful crops of wheat and oats
will be reaped, with the general return over an average.
These good harvest prospects have caused a very large
demand for threshing•machines, such as the largest
agricultural implement dealers have been unable to
'meet.

SCHOOL BOARD AND HOME LESSONS.

Lord Stanley of Alderley asked the Lord Prcsident whether
School Boards had any legal right to exact home lessons
and to dispose of the time of children attending Board
Schools out of school hours ; and, if so, under what section
of what Act of Parliament,

Lord Carlingford said he had no authority, as President of
the Council, to determine the legal rights of School Boards
in this matter.
- - -

Several Bills were advanced a stage before their lordships
adj,,urned.

In the HOUSE OF COMMONS, the Speaker took the chair at
twenty minutes past twelve. It was found necessary to light
the Chamber at the beginning of the sitting.
Mr. Jesse Collings gave notice that early next session he
would move a resolution affirming the desirability of grant-
ing a measure of Home Rule to Ireland, as the best means
of securing permanent peace in that country.
The Appropriation Bill passed through Committee.
Mc. J. K. Cross then made his statement on the Indian
Finances.

A discusslon ensued, and at twenty-five minutes to six the
debate was adjourned.
The Rouse afterwards adjourned.

DEATH FROM A WASP STING.

On Monday an inquest was held by Mr. Lewis, the
Essex coroner, on the body of Miss Anna Francis
Arkwright, aged 55, at Mark Hall, near Marlow, her
residence. Miss Arkwright, who was much respected
in the district, died on Saturday afternoon within half
an hour of a wasp sting on the little finger of her right
hand. She had been stung several times before, and
was very nervous about it. She had made no state-
ment as to where or how she was stung, but when ber
maid, in answer to the bell ringing, went to her bed-
room, she told her to look on her dress skirt and
in her pocket, and the maid found a wasp in the
pocket and killed it. Miss Arkwright fainted directly
afterwards, and never recovered consciousness.
Mr. Day, a surgeon, said that death had ensued
from syncope, produced from the excessive pain caused
by being accidentally stung by a wasp, and a verdict
to that effect was accordingly given.

THE FRENCH IN TONQUIN.

Writing from Haiphong on August 18, the Special
Correspondent of the Standard says :
I have just returned to Haiphong. Leaving Nam
Dinh, I c mtinnei my journey d)wn the southern
branch of the Sankoi to the Bay, and then sailed
north until we reached this port, which lies
at the mouth of the northern branch of the
river. The French Fleet, which is to act against
Hu d in conjunction with a squadron from Saigon,
was lying in the Bay, with everything in readiness for
the start. I applied for permission to accompany the
Expedition, but the Admiral refused, and although I
reminded him that French journalists had been
accorded full liberty in Egypt, and had accommoda-
tion provided for them on board the British Fleet, be
remained inexorable.

The Expedition was to start to-day, and will pro-
bably rendezvous with the contingent from Saigon, at
the Bay of Touran, to the south of Hod.
Commissioner Harmand is on board the Admiral's
ship, and is the bearer of an ultimatum to be pre-
sented to the Court of Anam. If this is rejected a
blockade will be proclaimed, and one or two points
seized as a base of operations. The first of these will
undoubtedly be the fort of Thuan An, at the mouth of
the Hue,River.

With regard to the further course cf the campaign,
nothing is precisel known, and, indeed, it is probable
that it is still undecided, depending on the result of
the reconnaissanes made by the Admiral OP his
arrival. It is known that Hti4 is a place of grnit
natural stremth, and was fortined on scientific prin-
ciples by Colonel Olivier, a French officer, towards the
end of the last century. Whether the Ana uites have
the knowledge or the courage to profit by these ad-
vantages is, however, another question.
The Bay of Touran is distant about two days' sail-
ing from the delta of the Sankot, and is as nearly as
possible half .way between this point and Saigon. From

Touran to the mouth of the Hue river is between sixty
and seventy miles.

A small expedition, consisting of three hundred
men in gun boats, started too:lay to occupy Hai
Dzuong, the capital of the province of the same name.
Hai Ozaong is situate on another branch of the
SoNkai, at about thirty miles trom the sea. No
serious r sistance is expected, With Hanoi, N
Dinh, Haiphong, and Hai Dzuong in their possession,
the French will have command of most of the more
important points in the delta, and will have done
much to reassert their authority in Tonquin.

THE CROWN OF ASHANTEE.

Advices from Cape Coast Castle to July 29th,
state that the British Government mission to
Ashantee has proved very successful, and a san-
guinary civil war among the Ashantees has been
averted. The roads are again open and trade is coming
in freely from the interior to the coast, and the result
of the mission is regarded by the local European
and native merchants as very satisfactory. The
recent disturbance broke out owing to Mensah, the
ex-King, wishing to renew the former barbarous
customs and public sacrifices of large numbers
of his victims. Against this the Ashantees re-
belled, and Mensah was deposed and confined under
guard twenty miles from Coomassie. The difficulty
now is as to the succession of the kingship. There
are two claimants, one of whom is Coffee Kalkali.
The matter is in the hands of Sir Samuel Rowe.
Governor of the Gold Coast, who takes a deep interest
in the question. His Excellency takes every means
to convince the inland tribes of the vast superiority of
commerce and civilisation to wars and barbarous
customs. Coffee Kalkali is regarded as the exponent
of the war party, and he is not, therefore, likely to be
recognised as Mensah's successor. He has been
secluded ever since his defeat by Sir Garnet Wolseley,
and his reappearance was quite unexpected.
