PARLIAMENT LUNCHES.
The Tea Men IN the House ofComm o III
Cheaper Bills of Fare.

-Cheaper B1iIs OF Fare
ELondon Letter to Philadelp ia Bulletinl
The tea men have increased to an extent
to give the refreshment contractor pause in
the present parliament. And with them
men who cannot afford to dine or lunch Ia
Lucullus, and are not ashamed to own it. 1
have both dined and lunched in the house,
and I must confess 1 found nothing re-
markable either about the proyant or the
price thereof. You dined we'll, and cheaply,
that was all. With Mr.. Broadhurst, who
lived in humble lodgings which he sought on
the conclusion of each sitting of the house
on foot with Mr.. Macdonald who had quar-
ters at a quaint tavern in Covert Garden;
with Mr.. Burt, teetotaller, and ''the econ
omist'' in the house, it was expected that its
character as place of refreshment would
not be successfully maintain in the future
as it had been in the past. This has turned
| out to be the case. These men do not take
| an occasional luncheon or dinner In the
| house. They 'take their victuals" there,
and if only Mr.. Speaker would provide sleep
| ing accommodation-and reasonable credit
they would be too glad to board and lodge
within its precincts. To these, therefore,
it is essential that the refreshments should
be cheap and of character to which they
have been accustomed French kickshaws
they no more appreciate than the squireen
who had breakfasted for 30 years on whiskey
punch and Irish stew appreciated the more
elegant menus of Merrion square. They sat
isfy the cravings of nature, but they do not
know how to dine. Tney are much more
critical of the sum total of the bill than of
the dishes named in it. By them what
is known as commercial travellers feed'
something substantial preferred to any
of the elegant refinement of cookery which
finds favor with the palates of the older order
of members.
Some of the more modern sort-the men
who declined invitations to dine with the
speaker on the ground that they had no
dress clothes and must be received in their
every day suits of tweed OF not at all-would
prefer large roll, a round of dry toast, pat
of butter and cup of tea or coffee for six
pence in place of portion of roast beef or
mutton for is. I'd. l do not gather from the
report of the committee that any great re-
form is contemplated in the whiskey depart
ment. For that matter 'Meejo1" O'GoIman
has left this mundane sphere and Sir Richard
Assheton Cross been translated to the upper
house, and under the influence of Mr.. Caine,
not few of the members have become total
abstainers.
do not know of a single member-not
even a single member of the Irish party,
although they have not become supporters
of an anti-whiskey crusade-courageous
enough to rise in his place in the house and
complain of the quality of the spirit sup
the house, albeit one drinker of so-called
Irish whskey has been heard to say that
some stuff which bore the name "1rish, P"
which he was once betrayed into imbib
ing, went over his tongue like torchlight
procession!

STATE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
AN OLD SWINDLE,

There is revival of interest in the Gun
claimed estates" which not few of the in
habitants of this country believe are "lying
around loose" in England waiting for the ap-
pearance of the american heirs" 1t is as
tonishing that people will continue to pay
lawyers expenses for European tours in the
hope of getting hold of great estate, but
they do. And, judging from the past, no
| amount of exposure will put stop to the
swindle
report which was made to Congress by
Mr.. Henry White, under the direction OF
Minister Lowell, deals with the ''unclaimed
estate" business very thoroughly, and people
who think that there is a vast fortune fo1
them in England would do well to pay atten-
ton to it. Mr.. White showed that the Jen-
nings estate, the Hedges estate, the Branford
estate, the Hyde estate, the Horne estate, and
others were beyond the reach of any Ameri-
can claimants. He said concerning the oper-
alton of the Statute of Limitations: "Any
attempt therefore, to recover real estate from
the Crown or individuals after lapse OF
twelve years-which may be extended to
thirty under certain circumstancss-and per-
sonal property after lapse of twenty years,
however valid the claim of the person max
ing the attempt may have been originally, is
certain to end in failure" He quoted from
letter written by the chief accountant of
the Bank of England as follows: "There are
no large amounts of unclaimed stock or divi-
dends standing in our books. Speaking gen.
orally, without having made an exhaustive
research, which would involve some consid-
erable labor, there are few amounts of
e1 900, and probably none that exceed this
sum by more than e100 or e200." With re-
gard to the Court of Chancery and those
Americans who had assured the legation that
they chad enormous fortunes locked up in
it." he said: "It will doubtless cause some
surprise and disappointment to such as these
to be informed that the whole amount of
money in the custody of the Court of Chan
Gerry at the present time is about e94, 900, 900,
of which eS3, ZOO, 900 belong to owners who
are known, leaving about e1 200, 900 only of
unclaimed or dormant funds"
We commend this to all whom it may con-
Germ. There are no vast unclaimed estates
in England for American heirs, and the less
money these 'heirs" spend in finding this
out the better it will be for them.

The s.Eaen Minister, Down In Maine.

From the Boston Record.
At an island on the coast of Maine, which
is much resorted to, there is an esteemed
local clergyman who is known to the summer
resipents, nearly all of whom are Bostonians,
as the chen minister" This is by reason of
his habit of telling, in season and out of sea-
son, certain story which queerly illustrates
the idea of faith.
81 preached sermon one Sunday" the
good minister will say, son the doctrine of
faith, in which I taught my hearers the good
Christian doctrine that all things may be
brought about by faith, instructing them
that faith is the evidence of things not seen
the substance of things hoped for. There
was farmers wife in the congregation who
was greatly edited by the sermon, and came
to me and told me that she now understood
Just what faith was.
"Next Sunday morning overlook her on
her way to church.
=" See here, Parson,' says she, Il don't
think much of your techin' about faith
"fWhy notp asked.
why says she, the other day heard
my speckeled hen a-cacklin' like all to pay.
Now says I here is a chance to show
what faith is. That specled hens egg is the
evidence of things not seen; the substance OF
things hoped for. have faith that she's
laid egg, and I'm sure that when I'll &c
out to the shed I'll find it," So goes out
and looks for it. and there wasn't any egg
| there, and that speckled hen hadn't laid any.
Now, what's your faith good for I'd like to
knowp
"And then," the minister will say. ST told
| her what was the matter with her faith. I'll
was meant as rebuke to you that yor
| didn't find any egg there said I. You'c
ought to have trusted in God, and not in tn,

DALVINI AND THE SHARPERS.


How a Conjuror Got even with Some
Gamblers DOctorIng the Cards.
From the Chicago HERALD
It is not often that man will praise an
other in his own line of business, particular
ly if that business is of the stage STACEY.
Yet Jasper Bamberg, of Wabash avenue,
himself a noted prestidigitateur, said the
other day that Dalvini, who lately appeared
in Chicago, was one of the best of all living
conjurors and a gentleman as well. II know
neat little story about him." added
Burlingalne, who is as gossipy as generous.
''Not long ago Dalvini was travelling on a
Mississippi river steamboat, and was asked
to join in a card party. Poker was the game
of course, and the stakes at first small grad
ually increased the limit was showed up
and up toward the ceiling. Dalvini played
in miserable luck and lost steadily. No
matter how good his hand might be some
one held little better.
''This went on until the conjuror had lost
seven or eight hundred dollars, nearly all the
money he had in the world, and sum which
represented the earnings of long tour in
the West and southwestern States. 1t was
only at the last minute that he discovered
that he had been done up by card sharps
Supposing all the time that he was playing
with gentlemen IN square game, he had
neglected to take advantage of his art as a
sleight- hand performer and had played
honestly Throughout. Now, however, he de-
termined upon revenge. Before going to bed
he went to the purser and purchased every
deck of cards in the stock. Then he sat up
all night in his stateroom 'doctoring' these
cards, and in the morning took them to the
purser, along with fifty dollar bill, and
told that worthy to put them back in his
stock. The purser-who ever knew a pur-
ser to refuse an honest penny-did SO. and
after breakfast Dalvini borrowed one hun
dred and fifty dollars from the captain by
putting up his watch and invited the
sharpers to renew play. In a few minutes
they were at it again.
Gentlemen said Dalvini, Il suspect
that this game was not square last night, and
that at least some of my money was won
from me unfairly. 1 am now going to
make an effort to get even and L shall
insist upon using fresh deck of cards
after every DEAL
stOf course the gamblers had no objec-
tions and the game commenced with that
understanding. Dalvini had every deck
fixed and the way that one hundred and
fifty dollar pile of his grew was caution.
In addition to his doctoring of the cards
he rung in them all of his wonderful
sleight-of-hand skill, and though he was
one man against three he virtually cleaned
out the crowd, got his seven hundred dol
lars back and quit eighteen hundred dollars
winner besides

but that from July of last year it has made
itself heavily felt further east. But the
studies of the board do not seem to add any
thing to our meagre knowledge of the dis
ease. DR.. z. B. Adams, who discusses it at
great length, is forced to admit that for nine
years the three factors of heat, moisture and
vegetable decay, assumed to be capable of
producing malaria, have been present in
great activity in localities where no unusual
cases of intermittent fever have arisen;
whereas during the present epidemic the
fewest cases have appeared in sections where
the three factors have been operative in the
highest degree.
1t won't always do to follow pointers
even when they are given by very 'smart''
men. Thus, about six weeks ago Mr.. P. D.
Armour issued a circular letter, taking a
strong bull position on corn and hog pro-
ducts, stating that the corn crop was not
over IS per cent, advising his friends to
"buy literally in anticipation sof the wants
of the trade" and saying that Mr.. Armour
would not be surprised by seeing mess pork
worth double the present price within year.
Mr.. Armour's prediction was mainly based
on the damage to the corn crop, which he
greatly overestimated. The crop is now
found to be 1 $50, 900, 600 bushels, which is
between 80 and 80 per cent. of the
largest crop ever raised. Corn is five cents a
bushel now cheaper than it was when the
circular was sent out; wheat also is five cents
less, lard one cent less per pound and new
mess pork so cents less a barrel.
An account is given in the Revue Scien-
tifque of an italian method of preserving
bodies in soft and flexible state for several
months, and by this means enabling them to
be d1ssected without any danger to the pre-
parator or the anatomist. To this end they
are placed in some sort of receptacle or
other and covered with layer of the thickest
and purest honey that can be obtained. If
it be desired to preserve an entire cadaver
by this simple and inexpensive process the
plan pursued is to begin by carefully filling
the encephalic, thoracic and abdominal cavi-
ties with a sufficient quantity of tannin
This process, when conducted with care, is
stated to give remarkable results, a corpse
thus prepared appearing for several months
to be asleep. In a sense, the alcoholic fer
mentation that occurs under these circum-
stances serves it as food while preserving its
softness and dexibility to a degree strongly
resembling that of real life. When the fer
mentation ceases hardening of the parts
occurs and renders the artistic forms of the
body still more marked.

When Elihu Yale founded that time hon
ored institution of learning, Yale College, he
struck blow at ignorance that has rever-
berated for more than two centuries through
out the length and breadth of the land, and
placed his name in the foremost rank of
Americas public benefactoIs. But greater
scourge than ignorance is now running
rampant in our midst. Do you know what
ails you when you have dull headache no
appetite; nothing tastes good that you eats
specks pass before your eyes; low spirits;
an irritable and peevish temper; bowels con-
stipated; an appearance of red or white
brick dust in the urine tired feeling and
don't know what ails you? You have fallen
a victim to that modern scourge, MdLGraa.
Nothing on this earth will tone you up so
quickly and arrest the progress of Malaria
