Mr.. Gladstone is soon to retire from active
life. The development Of his successor has
been begun long ago in the person Of Sir
Charles Dixie, liberal Of the liberals, and no
friend to an expensive royalty. He has even
publicly criticised the actions of his sovereign,
and protested against the enormous grants of
money that are allowed her and her family.

A Base Conspiracy Defeated.

close guess was made III Hartford
saloon. In one partition of n money
drawer was large number of pennies.
Among the frequenters of the place was
a man who wGs always ready to make a
bet. 1t occurred to the proprietor of
the place, who had been taken in good
many times by the betting man, to lay
for him. He took n friend into his
confidence, and the pair made up their
minds to beat the fellow with the con-
tents of the money-drawer. So they
counted the pennies and found there
were just 625 of them. Then they laid
low for their opportunity.
That evening the betting man was on
hand, and in manner not to excite
suspicion the saloon-keeper said to his
friend: Il wonder how many pennies
there are in this drawer?"
The betting chap pricked up his ears
and remarked: "Let each OF us put up
IS, and the one who comes nearest to
the number shall take the pot"
This was agreed to, and the saloon
keeper marked GA, his friend 625, and
the fellow who was really ignorant of
the number, and whom they expected
to trap, by the merest chance put his
figures at 625. The establishment of
the two sharpers was no greater than
the wonder of the other at such remark
ably sharp guessing. After this the
betting man was boss of the saloon.-

Recipes by Bill Nye.

To give relief TO burn, apply the
white of an egg. The yelk of the egg
may be eaten or placed on the shirt
bosom, according to the taste of the
person. If the burn should occur ON a
LADY she may omit the last instruction.
To wash black silk stockings, pre-
pare bath of lather composed of tepid
rain-water and white soap, with little
ammonia. Then stand in the tub till
dinner is ready. Roll in cloth TO dry.
Do not wiring, but press the water out.
This will necessitate the removal of the
stockings.
If your hands are badly chapped,
wetthem in warm water, rub them all
over with Indian meal, then put on a
coat of glycerine, and keep them in
your pockets for ten days. If you have
no pockets convenient, insert them in
the pockets of friend.
Wooden goods may be nicely washed
If you put half an ox-gall in two gallons
of tepid water. It might be good to
put the goods in the water also. If the
mixture is not strong enough, put in
another ox-gall. Should this fail to do
the work, put in the entire OK, reserving
the tail for soup. The ox-gall is compar.
atively useless for soup, and should not
be preserved as an article of diet.

An Old Novelty.

The officials of the old German
Patent Office are adopts at discovering
that inventions for which patents were
sought were old. Here is a case which
would have delighted them, if they had
the opportunity to refuse to recognize
the invention. Not long ago a patent
was obtained in the United States for
tack hammer, in which the tack was
attached to the hammer and driven in
at one blow. 1t appears that in one OF
the manuscripts of Leonardo ola Vinci,
he observes that, if you give a nail a
great many blows with a hammer to
drive it into board, the operation will
be long and somewhat difficult (allud-
ing possibly to the tendency of novices
to drive it to one side); but, if you
attach the nail to the hammer with
wax, you may drive it in with one blow.
The observation is scientifically and alb
solutely true, and the American in
ventor of the tack-hammer was OBJ
viously anticipated centuries ago!

Amending the Marriage Service.

Something ought TO be done in this
enlightened age with the marriage SER
vice. 1t seems to be entirely inadequate
to meet the pressure Of circumstances.
The lady solemnly swears that she will
"love, honor and obey" and everybody
knows that the first two may be impossi-
bic, and that she never dreams of doing
the last. The phrase Till death do us
part" ought to be amended to read,
Till death or divorce for cause do us
part" The young man who has spent
his last penny in lavender kids and a
stall IN the opera with the hope of Sc
curing his prize quietly declares, with
all my worldly goods L thee endow,
when the truth is he is marrying her
money in order to pay his own debts
withal. In order to accord with the
facts in the case the marriage certificate
ought to have as device on the right
hand corner spiders web and an en-
tangled fly. But, even then, this great
controversy would not end for none of us
could decide which party in the contract
is the spider and which the fy.-Cin-

Christmas In Sweden.

It is proclaimed along the streets by
a public crier on the oath of December.
Public trials cease. Private quarrels
must end. Any one violating law
in this sacred period is liable to a three
fold punishment. There must be fires
ON ali hearths. They must not not go
out in the night. All the old family
plate must be placed on the table. The
friends must go to the table and from
the table singing. The food must be of
the best. and it must be abundant. The
food of all the domestic animals is
doubled. Lest some bird may be in
want upon a day so dedicated to love,
sheaves of grain are fastened to high
pole, or trees, or are placed on the roof.

A DISAPPOINTED GEORGIAN.

The Atlanta Post-Appeal tells the fol-
lowing anecdote about Gov. Stephens.
A countryman came mp to fine-look-
ing gentleman, in train on which the
Governor was, and, shaking hands with
him, said Governor, can have the
honor of shaking hands with you?"

was prodigy; but if that's the biggest
man they could trump up for the Gov
ernor of Georgy, think we'd better
leave the State, for the country's de-
generatin'." 1--WE don't estimate a states
man by his physical development; it's
the brain. The Governor has the great
est brain in Georgia. II don't care
nothin' about brain. But the idea of a
man bein' Governor that's got to be
carried aroun' like bundle o clothes !"

Telephone Item.

The intelligence or, instinct of some
insects is really marvellous. 1t was
noticed yesterday that large number
OF bees were buzzing about the telephone
wires. A gentleman who had some
curiosity about the matter asked one OF
the operators what was going on over
the wire, and was informed that Mr..
William Everts, a promising young
Austin lawyer, was conversing with a
young widow, and that it was probably
the sweetness going over the wires that
had atttacted the attention of the bees,
for as soon as they gave up the wire
and Mrs. Yerger began to tell Col. Yer
ger that if he forgot to send man to fix
the stove she would make it hot for him,
the bees dropped off as if the wire had
become warm from the remarks that
had passed over it.-Teras Siftings.

Repartee and Bathos In the Supreme
Court.

The Supreme Court is a bad place
for pretentious display of legal learn
ing or flourish of oratory. The most
successful advocates who practice at its
bar are those whose style is most con-
densed and lucid, and who never travel
away from the essential matter in con-
troversy. They no doubt remember
the anecdote of Chief Justice Marshall
an anecdote, by the way, which has
been tackled on to many eminent Judges,
but which Marshall's biographers claim
as belonging to him. A pompous and
tedious advocate was rehearsing
well-known and undisputed rules of
law, when the Chief Justice interrupted
him, and said: "Mr. c., think this is
unnecessary. There are some things
which court, constituted as this Is,
may be presumed to know"
Not always, even in recent times,
however, have the lawyers confined
their speeches to the clarified common
sense and direct logic which
the court is forced to listen to flights of
rhetoric which bring half-amused and
half-impatient looks to the faces of the
Justices. Here, for example, is speci-
men of horid eloquence with which, not
many years ago, a lawyer opened his
brief in an important writ of error case.
The brief is still shown as a curiosity in
the Office of the Clerk of the Court:
"May it please the Court: When the
bonnie blue flag went down before the
'star-spangled banner and that glori-
Gus emblem of the Union, the Consti-
futon and the Enforcement of the
Laws, again waved in triumph
From Maine da7k in 3 and or gs of snow,
To where II az nolian breez = blow.
1T was fondly hoped that civil strife
and contention were at an end, and that
peace, quiet and repose had returned to
bless the land.
But these were
Hopes which but allured to fly;
they were, indeed, but
Joys that vanished whilst we slipped.
"For scarcely had the roar OF artillery
ceased and the smoke of battle cleared
off, and scarcely had the ink become dry
on the parchments of pardon which fell
from the Executive hand,
Thick as autumnal leaves that strew the brooks
In Vallonibrosa,
before some
OF the last few, who, vainly brave,
and who would theoretically, merely,
Die for the cause they could not save,
rushed into the courts, renewed the
contest in another form, and we are
here to-day on writ of error to the
Supreme Court of Louisiana to reverse
victory obtained in this new mode of
hostility and attack upon the power and
authority of the United States, and the
rights of one which are firmly based
upon the same. "-E. Y. Smdlley, IN the
Century.

@THE day OF formal lectures before
students of medicine" said a physician,
"will soon be over; all that the Pro
lessor can say is as well or better said
in books, and these are now multiplying
enormously, and becoming cheaper.
Clinical lectures will last, of course,
but their chief value depends not so
much upon the lecture as upon its
practical, living illustrations. All
ambitious students now read up the
diseases pointed out to them as soon as
possible after the close of the clinic"

Toronto claims the distinction of
keeping a more quiet Sunday than any
other city on the continent. The street
cars do not run, the bootblacks are in
visible, all the telegraph offices are
closed except the central office, where
one man remains to attend to import
ant messages, the cab stands are de-
serted, the drug stores are open only at
certain hours for the sale of medicine
only, and the liquor saloons are closed
from o'clock Saturday evening until >
o'clock Monday morning.
