SUICIDE OF A BARONET.
Mystery Concerning the Recent
Death of an English NohIeulan


London, Jan. 1.-THE Daily Mail
says IL has ascertained that the death
on December 81 of Sir Charles Arthur
Fairlie-C was self-infiicted
and that he killed himself at the Vic
toria Hotel.
\ secret inquest was held and the
tragedy was successfully suppressed
until now. No reason for the baronet
killing himself is known. His death
recalls the case of the Duke of Bed
ford about seven years ago. The Mail
mentions a letter that was found in the
baTonets room, signed Charles Thomp-
son. as possibly bearing upon the case
and says that the deceased recently
visited the United States concurrently
with Edwardes' theatrical company
which was playing In Town" The pa
per does not explain why it mentions

invariably practiced, that things should
be taken as they come. In the Sand
witch Islands on one Occasion he adver-
tised a theatrical performance to COM
mence at o'clock. There was only one
person in the house, but it was rule
with Mathews never to disappoint 1.-THE
public, = and he determined to go on
with the show He entered the stage
and bowed to man of color who, in q
white hat, was seated in the stalls.
The man solemnly returned the salute.
Mathews went through the entire first
act of "A Game of Speculation, : and
the man of color never once smiled or
changed his position. Mathews nearly
sent the prompter to him to make sure
that he was alive. The curtain was
lowered on the second act, and the man
of color was "still sitting. Mathews
felt bound in honor to reward persist
ency of this sort and gave him the third
act gag and all. A quarter of an hour
after the man of color was still in the
same attitude, so Mathews went round
and told him the show was over. He
shook hands with the comedian, smiled
and asked him what it was all about

wen SATISFIED.

Aubrey de We're gives in his Recall
lectlons, an account Of meeting, in
Switzerland, one of those travellers who
make it point of honor to see nothing
so good as what they find at home.
This man was an Irishman, with whom
patriotism was so truly mania that
every word in praise of the scenery
about him seemed distinct aspersion
on the land Of his birth
What can you compare here, he
demanded, with the mountains of
Wicklow
Perhaps, said traveller, lone
might name the mountains of the Mont
Blanc range =
'Oh, " he replied soornfully, they're
out of all reason am after walking
along the Chamouni valley for three
days, and I only saw four of those
mountains. Sure, in Wicklow I'd have
counted as many as eight of them in
three hours!"
Have you seen this wonderful wa.
terfall within half mile of us?''
II have not seen it, and am not GO
ing to see it. Didn't see the O'Sulli-
van cascade at Killarney? Down it
comes from such height that you don't
know where it comes from Down it
plunges, laundering and believing,
sometimes black as ink and sometimes
white as milk, dashing itself against
the right hand rocks and smashing itself
against the left hand rocks. What is
your Handeck fall compared to that?'
Some persons would say, was the
reply, that the waterfall here is about
ten times as high and six times as
broad.
All, then, . said be, with an added
note of scorn, "then the O'Sullivan cas-
cade is not big enough for you? And
tell me this, now couldn't you take

Would it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily diet!
About one third of an egg is solid nutri-
ment This is more than can be said of
meat. There are no bones, no tough
pieces that have to be laid aside A
good egg is made up of 10 parts shell,
so parts white and 80 parts yolk. The
white of an egg contains IS per cent
water and the yolk SO per cent. Prac-
ticaily an egg is animal food, and yet
there is none of the disagreeable work
of the butcher necessary to obtain it.
The vegetarians of England use eggs
freely, and many of these men are 80
and 80 years old and have been remark
ably free from sickness. Eggs are best
when cooked four minutes. This takes
away the animal taste, which is often
sive to some, but does not harden the
white or yolk so as to make them diff
cult to digest.
An egg if cooked very hard is diff
cult of digestion, except by those per-
sons possessed of stout stomachs. Such
eggs should be eaten with bread and
masticated very finely. Fried eggs are
much less wholesome than boiled ones.
An egg dropped into hot water is not
only clean and handsome but deli
cious morsel. Most people spoil the
taste of their eggs by adding pepper and
salt. A little sweet butter is the best
dressing. Eggs contain much phos-
phorus, which is supposed to be beneti-
cial to those who use their brains much.

Cockhghting In Manila.

Gambling may be said to be the one
vice of the Philippine islander, says u

With the Tagal even more than with

passion pushed to the extreme.
In every native hut, in every craft
floating on the Pasig, a cock is to be
found undergoing training as careful as
that bestowed in the west on a race
horse though perhaps to perish on it's
first appearance in the lists. A native

larger than a bantam, which he carries
