ting mould was to cover their play
mates face thickly with mad. They
tried it, giving the subject no breath
ing holes, and he was suffocated SO
nearly to death that the doctors had
great difficulty in saving him.
Lord Tollemache, who has great es-
tates in Suffolk and Cheshire, seems
to have solved the agricultural laborer
difficulty. The laborers on his pro-
perties have excellent cottages, with
half-acre gardens (the women do q
good deal of the garden work. and
three years ago, out of 800 cottages,
260 had cows. Now nearly all have
COWS.
George Bennett bought dying
horse for five dollars, and drove into
Maysville, Va, at slashing gait. AZ
ter telling several persons that he had
paid 5000 for the beast, which did not
show its actual condition to casual OBJ
servers, he managed to get it killed
by locomotive. Then he sued the
railroad company for 5000. The scheme
failed, and its protector is in jail.
Sir Walter Crofton, long head of
the Irish prisons, points out that while
in England all the convict prisons are
periodically subject to an independent
outside inspection, no such inspection
has, with one brief exception, been
made in Ireland in twenty-five years.
The prison departments have been
left unchecked to govern as they
please.
The members of the Garibaldi
family have erected over the tomb of
the General large granite monolith,
weighing four tons. The tomb is
watched day and night. The decision
as to the final resting place is left to
Parliament, which inclines to the
Janiculum. During the first few days
after the death of Garibaldi, 10000
kilograms reached the family.
On an express train running be-
tween Victoria and Brighton, Eng
land, are fonr Pullman cars, lighted
with incandescent lamps, supplied
with electricity by Faure accumu-
lators. The cars have electric bells
also, BY which the conductor or page
boy may be summoned. The "cov-
cred gangway," by which the conduc-
tor can pass from car to car, is men
toned as another feature of the train.
A girl at Long Branch has hair so
stiff and coarse that it does not mat
when drenched. Its utility is appar-
ent when she bathes, for others come
up from a plunge with their tresses
in an insignificant pigtail, while her
head is as attractive as when dry. A
correspondent calculates that her pc
culiar hair will bring her half a mil
lion of dollars, because it seems to
have charmed an heir to that amount,
and he is likely to marry her.
AT the last Princes garden party
in London the caprice of fashion was
the parasol. Some specimens were of
great value. There was plaque of
jewels on top of one white one which
dazzled the eyes of the beholder. The
Queen, whose sight had been caught
by the topazes and amethysts, encir-
cled by rows Of seed pearls, with
which it was adorned, turned away
with manifest disapprobation, and,
like the angel in Moore's poem, "never
looked again.
A ragged, unshorn man Of 80, with
scrapbook under his arm, was new
and striking figure in New Haven
He was Luke Clark, and the book
contained newspaper clippings relat-
ing to his work in Fenianism, particu-
larly when he was next to Stephens
in command Of the Fenian army. His
present errand was to clear himself of
a charge that he had sold information
to the British Government. The
Rev. l.. Walsh, Treasurer of the Land
League of America, was able to give
him the desired exculpation.
A young man with one eye met a
poorly clad and woe-begone girl on a
wharf in Baltimore. He kindly asked
her what was the matter. She hesi
tated, and then, being urged to speak
out, said that clairvoyant had told
her to go to that spot at that time, to
meet one-eyed stranger, who would
ask her to marry him, which she
would consent to do, and long hap
piness would ensue for both. OF
course he could not doubt her story,
for was he not there with his single

held.
Mr.. Mozely says that on a coast
journey with Keble they came in sight
of Litchfeld Cathedral Keble fell
into raptures at the west front. "They
do nothing like that in these days
