Eccentric Verona Baldwin.

Says Los Angeles, Cal, dispatch:
Verona Baldwin, who gained notoriety
about three years ago in San Fran
cisco by shooting at her cousin, old
Lucky" Bald win, the millionaire turf
man, threatens to come to the front
again with suit against DR.. T. 7.
Adams, of Coulteryille, Mariposa
county, for support, as she claims to
be his lawful wife. 1t will be remem-
bered that Verona shot millionaire
Baldwin in his hotel because he re-
fused to support the child of which she
declared he was the father. After her
trial in San Francisco she was sent to
an asylum in Washington territory,
and when released went to Chicago.
There she was arrested for eccentric
conduct, and came back to Los
Angeles, where she talked of going on
the stage. She went to San Francisco
for this purpose, but she proved to be
so poor an actress that the project fell
through. Sac is now living here and
has put her case in the hands of law
yers and detectives.
The story as told by one of her
friends is peculiar. One summer
Y
near Coulterville. One of the party
was young DR.. Adams, who was con-
snmptive. In strolling the woods
Verona and the doctor lost their uay
and had to camp all night on mount
ain. The exposure led to the doctors
severe illness. She was induced by
one of the doctors friends to nurse
him, and when it looked as though he
would die she consented to marry him
in order to stop unpleasant gossip.
He rallied soon after and recovered,
but she never lived with him. The
marriage was kept a profound secret.
DR.. Adams, she claims, has never done
anything toward her support, as he
said his fathers eatate was unsettled.
She is now in extreme poverty and pro-
poses to enforce her rights.

Poverty the Cause Of Irish Discomfort.
February Forum

An Irish parliament, even if it were
com posed of the wisest of men, of men
long versed in public affairs, of men
whose private fortunes enabled them to
devote all their time and care to the study
of the wants of their country, would yet
ind itself almost powerles5 to deal with
the real malady of their country. They
could not make poor people rich. Lit
tie by little the change in the character
and the growth of the knowledge of
the people may increase the general
pros perity ali honest change in land-ten-
ure may help in time toward the same
good eud; the development of suitable in
dustries may prove another wholesome
influences; bat with all and above all, in
spite of all the legislators, the sim pie and
obvious remedy, concurrent with the dis
ease of Ireland, will still be emigration.
A race rapidly increasing in a narrow is-
land of rapid fertility will continue to go
outward across the seas to labor under
happier skies, and to find more gener-
Gus reward for the labor: and sure those
are not the truest friends of young and
able Irishmen who would have them cling
with all the strength and energy of their
youth to the rock-strewn hillside which
can scarcely feed their parents, when
world of happy chances is all before
them where to choose.

HOUSES AND HOMES.
Sketches of the Various Kinds TosBe Found
in the World.

Sketches of the Various Kinds TOsBe Found
in the World.
Is it not strange that with all the
houses there are in the land there should
be com paratively so few homes? writes
Bel Thistlethwaite to The Toronto Globe.
The building may be of wood or brick,
It's furnishings may be rich Or poor, it's
carpets SO costly or so shabby that one
would hesitate to have them in general
use, 1t may possess all modern convent
ences, or all the ancient Inconvenience,
but not till we have spent some hours or
days with It's occupants under their own
roofs can we decide whether the home is
or is not home.
It is true that everybody calls the place
where he sleeps and eats 'home," because
it Is convenient designation, but the
homele S look is readily discerned.
There are people with plenty of money,
and Influence, and friends, who have no
home. They have become accustomed
to the want of that which they cannot
buy.
There are so called homes where the
husband and father goes at night, look
lug sad and worn out from the cares of
tae day, and where he emerges twelve or
fourteen hours afterward looking sadder
and more worn-out from the cares of tho
evening and morning. This is the sort
of home where the wife never comes to
the door to smile and wave her hand at
parting, and where the children, instead
of running down the street to "meet
papa" are apt to mysterIousiy disappear
when he comes in sight. He Is quite
willing that they should disappear. He
seldom speaks to them except to say:
stop that noise" "Do as you are told
this moment sir!'' Or 81 wish that baby
wasn't always kicking up row." If the
children answer these remarks they are
punished; If the wife answers them an
angry alteration easues. Everyone is
IN an unpleasant frame of mind-the
older ones taciturn and morose, the
younger ones quarrelsome and discon-
tented. At the super table the family is

like company of animals, who feed
noisily and hurriedly, and leave the mo-
ment they have had enough. The father
usually spends his evenings out, and the
boys envy him that privilege and long
lngly anticipate the time when they will
be allowed to follow his example The
grown up girls regard the place as sort
of combined millinery, hair5ressipg, and
dressmakiDg establishments, where, be
sides sleeping and eating, they do moth
ing but fit themselves to make what thew
believe to be an attractive appearance in
public halls and streets.
The true home in no way resembles this.
The true home is perfect place of re-
fuge from all the storms of life. Above
its portals should be written, "Au care
abandon ye who enter here" Things
may go wrong -indeed, il seems at times
as though that we're the natural tendency
of things-but the evil consequences of
their wrOng-doing, instead of being talk
ed about and aggravated, and fretted
over are quietly modified, or averte7, or
passed over IL silence. 1t is place
where children are happier than anywhere
else IN the world because no where else do
they have sucA pleasant words, or see
lOChS, OF receive SO mQcl
genuine kindness. Not that they should
be spoiled. Why is it that people are
afraid 70 treat child with decent con-
sideration, for fear of spelling him?
One might as well tell a farmer that he
must not keep his young animals COM
Portable, as by that means he will certain
ly spoil them. In all probability he
would reply that they would never thrive
unless they we're kept comfortable. 1t is
not so easy To make child happy as it is
an animal, for the reason that the child
has mind, and much of his unha ppiness
rises from that source.
An old bachelor, who talked a good deal
about wives and homes was asked why he
did not have one of each, instead of hav-
ing so many ideas about them. "Ah,n he
said, ''if had not had some ideas l might
have had them both.'
To make ones home approach as near
~ as possible to ones highest ideas to
what it should be is to have an ideal
home. There are many homes, elegantly
upholstered and richly adorned; that to
the spiritual sense reveal nothing but bar
reness and dreariness; but the true home
IS occupied by the spirit Of love, and in
its light the meanest furnishings reflect a
beauty impossible to understand or to
resist.

Convenience in japan.

Going to the theatre is not hap
hazard, two hours, after dinner incident
in Japan. One goes for the whole day,
the play beginning generally about
eleven O'Clock in the morning and ending
at eight or nine in the evening. A swell
patron OF the drama repairs with his
family or party of friends early in the day
to some tea-house near the theatre. The
tea-house people secure him his boz and
take orders for the lunch, dinner and
small refreshments to be sent him at the
right intervals, and the patron has then
only to sit still, smoke and enjoy himself,
knowing that boxes of hot rice and good
things will be brought him whenever
there is long intermissiop.

A Washington Table.

The table a. Washington dinner is
described by correspondent: SIN the
diBing groom the center-piece was formed
of an oblong mirror lake, bordered with
smilax and ferns and studded with yellow
ps. From the center of this rose an
oId-fashioned silver candelabria, with wax
apers under scarlet shades. At either
end of the table was an ellipsis of bright
red tulips. between which and the center
piece were stands of fruit and cut glass
dishes holding whole pineapples. In
place Of the ordinary salt-cellar were
used small circles OF cut-glass, in which
was cone shaped pyramid of salt, be-
side which lay tiny silver spoon.
