to shut in the steam. When quite cold

shape of the mold used, and saturated
with the juice of the fruit. A little loaf
sugar may be thrown over it. This pud-

A LADY has just brought an action
against the Partisan jewelcr Bloch, from
whom in 1869 she bought a diamond
necklace at $4,000 francs, paying for it
partly in specie and partly in Jewels,
stipulatiDg at the same time that, as she
might get tired of it, he was to take it
back whenever she pleased for 5000
francs. Owing, it is said, to more solid
reasons than a wish for change of or
nament, the lady in question, Mdlle La
tour, lately brought back the necklace
and claimed the 10000 francs, but NJ.
Bloch was not disposed to abide by this
agreement. 1t only held good for short
time, he urged, adding that in conse-
quence of the events of 1S70-1971 he had
lost much by the jewels given in part
payment of the necklace, and that a
crisis was taking place in the trade, in
consequence of the discovery of dia-
monds at the Cape having produced a
great fall IN the price of these stones, to
which fact he attributed Mdlle. Latour's
tardy recollection of the original stipu-
lation. The court found the agreement
binding, declined even to allow NJ. Bloch
the indulgence claimed for him by his
lawyer ofpaying by installments, and re-
quired him, the necklace being returned,
to pay Mdlle. Latour the sum of 10000
francs, with interest from the day she
preferred her claim.
