His Intention.

"And what does your pa say, Maryg" asked
the young man who had requested his sweet
heart to sound her father on the subject of
his prospects of receiving favorable answer
to a request for the hand of the daughter.
''He says answered the maiden, ''that he
will never permit me to marry young man
who stays so late when he comes here"
"Well said the youth, lit is just as well
that we understand each other at this juno
ture, that is, your pa and me"
Understand each other?n
Yes; for if he had considered my proposal
favorably and you had married me, he
would have been very much disappointed in
me.n

why in that case l didn't intend to go
home at all.n-Boston Courier.

when Men Wore Earrings.

Among civilized nations the wearing
of earrings by men has been by no means
uncommon, as it has been shown that in
early English days some Of the most dis
tinguished courtiers bedecked their ears
with very costly specimens. The i'm
mortal Shakespeare is said to have worn
them, and Charles is reputed to have
been the owner of magnificent pair of
pearl earrings, which he bequeathed to
his daughter the day before he was exc
cuted.
In the South Sea islands the females
and males alike adopt this style of per
sonal adornment, and even in the wilde
of Africa they are worn by the untutored
savages of both sexes.
At the present day the only civilized
persons of the male sex who ornament
their ears in this manner are the gvpsies
the Italians, the French, few sailors of
other foreign nations, and occasionally
a German, but as a master of course
precious few females the world over will
be found without them.-Detroit Free

William had a fine sense of what was
becoming at royal table. He was so
well pleased at one of his little dinners
with a savory soup compounded by his
cook, Tezelin, that he sent for him and
asked how it was named.
II call it dillagrout," was the reply.

cried the king. ''Nathless" Everybody
said 'nathless" in those days-"we be-
stow upon you the manor of Adding
ton"
This manor, may add, reverted to
the crown. In the reign of Henry III
we find it in the hands of the Bardolfs,
and held on the tenure Of making
pasties in the kings kitchen on the day
of his coronation, or providing some one
as his deputy to make dish called
grout, and if suet (seym) was added it
was called malpigernoun.
At James It's coronation the lord of
the manor claimed to find a man to
make dish of grout in the royal kitch-
en-, and prayed that the kings cook might
be the man. The claim was allowed,
and the claimant knighted But what
was this grout? Was it identical with
Tezelin's dillagrout and the Bardolf's NAL
pigernoun? And was a pottage called
Bardolf, Of which a Fourteenth century
recipe has been printed by the Society of
Antiquaries, identical with these? Ifso,
as among the ingredients were almond
milk, the Drawn Of capons, sugar and
spice, chicken parboiled and chopped,
ETC., it was doubtlessly dish for king

Robert J. Burdette says: You say
ron demand domestic, useful woman
a vour wife. If that is so marry Nora
Mulligan. your laundress' daughter. She
wears cowhide shoes, is guiltless of cor
sets, never had sick day in her life,
takes in washing, goes ont house clean
inc and cooks for family of seven chill
lren her mother and three section men
who board with her don't think she
would marry you, because Con Reagan,
the track walker, is her style of man.
..Let us examine into your qualihca-
fions as husband after your own mat
rimonial ideas, my boy. Can you Shout
der barrel of -four and carry it down
rllar? Can you saw and split ten cords
nf hickory wood in the fall so as TO have
ready fuel all winter? Can you spade up
half an acre of ground for the kitchen
garden? Do you know what will take
the lime taste out of the cistern? And
can YOU patch the leak in the kitchen
roof?
.Can you bring home pane of glass
and a wad of putty and repair damages
in the sitting room window? Can you
hang some cheap paper on the kitchen?
Can YOU fix the front gate SO it will not
sag? Can you do anything around the
house that Con Reagan can? My dear,
dear boy, you see Nora Mulligan wants
higher type Of true manhood. You
expect to hire men to do all the mans
work about the house, but you want
your wife to do anything any woman
can do.
Believe me, my son, that nine-tenths
of the girls who play the piano and sing
SO charmingly, whom you, in your limit
ed knowledge, set down as mere butter
flies of fashion, are better fitted for wives
than you are for husband. If you want
to marry a first class cook and experienced
housekeeper do your counting in the in
telligence office. But if you want a
wife marry the girl you love, with dim
pied hands and face like the sunlight,
and her love will teach her all these
things, my boy, long before you have
learned one-half of your own lesson"

Actor roole and the Cabbx.

Anent Mr.. Toole's visit to New Zealand
one or two amusing stories have come to
hand. Just before leaving Napier he had
a difference of opinion with cabman as
to fare The matter arose from a mis-
understanding on both sides, but as
Toole was determined not to pay the
amount, which he considered uniustly
demanded, and as the cabman was
equally determined to have it, sum
mons was the result. The evening pa
pers announced the fact, and stated that
Toole would defend the case in person
in the resident magistrates court.
A large crowd assembled at the court
house in consequence, but Toole, having
seen the paragraph referring to the mat
ter, preferred paying the claim to being
made free show. The crowd rapidly
melted away when this was announced,
but the fact of the payment did not ap-
pease the irate cabman, and when TooIe
drove down to the launch which was to
take him on his way to Auckland, one
of the cabmen on the stand called out
for "Ihree groans for Toole"
"Oh, make it four, dor cried Toole,
and four they made it.
1t was probably the first time the fa-
nous comedian had ever been groaned,
and he was hugely tickled at the dem
onstration. Tit Bits.

Appellants.
On July s. 1887, the plaintiff and defend
ants entered into an agreement in writ
ing, whereby the plaintiff agreed to sell
to defendants certain tract of land stu
ate ia the townsite, or projected town, OF
Whittier, in the County of Los Angeles,
for the sum of IS 900, 600 of which had
been paid before the commencement of
this action. For the residue (S5, OG0) the
defendants made their promissory note
of even date with the contract, payable on
or before June Z, 1883, with interest at ten
per cent. per month, to be compounded
semi-annually.
This action was brought to recover the
amount due on the note, and to foreclose
the vendors lien upon the land.
The defense is that the defendants were
induced to purchase the land by false and
fraudulent representations of the plaintiff
to the damage of the defendants. The
court found that plaintiff made the repre-
sensations charged, and that the greater
portion of them We're false and fraudu-
lent to the damage Of defendants in the
sum of S3,000and deducted this sum from
the note, and rendered Judgment for the
plaintiff for the residue and interest
amounting to g, sos.
The defendants appeal from the judg-
ment, on the judgment-roll, and contend
that the finding Of only $1,000 damages is
inconsistent with the twelfth finding, by
which, they say, it appears that the dam
ages were 5000. This is the only point
made, and to dispose of it in favor of the
respondent, I think it is only necessary
to read the twelfth finding in connection
with the eighth and thirteenth findings.
The twelfth finding is as follows:
'.That the value of said land, without
any prospect of college or street-car line
being built as represented by the plaintiff,
and.s without any contract being let
for the same, or either of them, was
at the time of the purchase the
sum of $1,000; that if the con-
tract for the building of said street-car
line along Hadley street to the southwest
corner of said land TO Painter avenue had
been let as represented by plaintiff, said
land would have been at the time of the
purchase of the market value of $4,000 /;
that if said plaintiff had in good faith in
tended to build said college and the
Quakers had agreed or determined TO
build said college, and the contract tor
building said street-car line had been let
at the time of making said contract, as
represented by plaintiff, said land would
then have been of the market value OF
S, 900: and that said land as it was, and
with the prospect of the building of said
college then existing, was of the market
value of So,oo0.'
The court here finds what would have
been the value of the land at the time OF
purchase under four different conditions

of facts; Q) in case all the representations
of the plaintiff had been entirely false;
(2) in case the representation as to the
contract for building the street-car, alone,
had been true; ~ in case all the repre-
sensations made by plaintiff had been
true; and, ~ the value of the land, ''6ts ii
agas, with the prospect of the building OF
the college then crfSttng,o as appears in
the eighth finding, wherein it is found,
there were general rumors afloat and a
prospect that said college would be built
as stated by plaintiff"
The value of the property in the first
two supposed cases Is imnlaterial, even
according to the rule of damages claimed
by counsel fof appellant, VIZ: 1.-THE meas
IRE of damage is the difference between
the actual galae of the property at the time
OF, purchase and its value If the property
had been 2chot 1T agdS represented or acdr'-
Tdi1ted TO be.' In order to estimate the
damages by this rule only the third and
fourth branches OF the twelfth finding are
necessary. The third finds that if the
property had been what it was represented
TO be its value would have beenS eco.
The fourth finds that the actrn,l value of
the property, as it was at the time OF pur-
chase tone part of PLAINTIFFS representa-
ticns then being true), was 5000. There
upon the court estimated defendants
damages to be $1,000, the difference be-
tween these two valuations.
| Counsel for appellants are mistaken in
assuming that the court found the repre-
sensations of plaintiff to have been en-
| tireiy false. The court found that q part
of plaintiffs representations as to the col
| leGe WAS true, and considered this in
estimating the actual value of the prop
erty at the time of the purchase, but ex-
cluded it from the estimate % whereby
the value was found to be s., 900.
