ECONOMY OF PURCHASING FAT MEAT Messrs.
Lawss and Gilbert, the English agricultural
chemists, have, after long experiments, estab.
lished the fact that the proportion Of solid
matter Is much greater in fat animals than in
lean; that while in lean OK the proportion of
water is often two-thirds, in fat one 1t is
often less than half. This shows the great
economy Of purchasing f't meat, although, Of
course, tho proportion Of mineral and nitro
genous matter in lean beef is greater than in

MISFORTUNE OF HAVING WE'LL FoRMED
WIFH.-A divorce suit in London, Sir Hugh
Rowloy against his wife, is reported at length
in the London papers. Mrs. Rowley, it ap.
pears, has very handsome legs, and, being
fond of showing them, enraged her husband
upon several occasions while travelling on the
Continent. He told her "to tie her brseches
down." And, because she refused, Sir Hugh
was brutal, and corrected her by corporeal
punishment. Mrs. Rowley seems to have de-
lighted in exhibiting her ankles and calves to
pOrters, clerks, soldiers, and men of all Glasses
Unfortunately; and these frequently ex.
pressed their admiration, if they did nothing
else.

Esgr A good story was told us the other
day about John Van Buren,. He had taken
some technical, legal advantage, by which
his opponents client was non-suited. The
man was furious, and declared his purpose
to give John piece of his mind when he
saw him; he would a0ither him. Happen
ing to see John one day at Downing's,
standing at the bar, getting outside of a
dozen New York Bays, he boldly con-
fronted the Prince, and being a small man,
looked up at him fercely, and burst out:
'Mr Van Buren,, is there any client SO
mean, or any case SO nasty that you
won't undertake to defend him in it 2"
II don't know" said John, stopping to
put away another oyster, then bending
down and con6dentially drawling out his
reply in the little mans ear, "What haze
you been doing?"
