CHAPTERS. THE L.TiGANT, DEAD

Always at Law.

ae Sued the Prince o. Wales and Was
Always at Law.
The death occurred recently in one
If the wards of st. Pancras work
house, London, Of Alexander Chaffers,
the notorious htigant. He was nearly
80 years of age and had been an in
mate of the wOrkhouse off ana on for
Eve years.
He will be chiefly remembered for his
association with the Travers Twiss
case, which had the effect Of driving
Sir Travers Twiso out of public life,
although at the time, besides being
vicar general of the province Of Can
terbury, he was also one Of the leading
queens counsel. 1t was a sensational
suit, in the course of which Charters,
In a brutal and insulting crOss-examin-
alton, compelled Lady Twiss to make
compromising admissions. Although
Chaffers won his case the presiding
magistrate denounced him for his con-
duct o: 1t, telling him that he would
live an object Of contempt to all honest
men.
Notwithstanding this, Charters, who
was lawyer, pursued his litigiOus ca
reer and was no respecter of persons.
He sued the Prince of Wales as a trus-
tee of the British Museum for alleged
wrongful refusal Of the use of the
reading room of the institution. The
late archbishop Of Canterbury, the late
Lord Herschell, the present lord chan
cellOr, Lord Peel, when speaker Of the
House of Commons, Lord Justice
Lopes, county court judges, officers of
the houses Of parliament and other
public officials all had summOnses
taken out against them by Chaffers for
some fanciful wrong.
In all. forty eight cases Of the kind
were instituted by this reloubtable
litigant. until in 1896 the attorney gen.
eral got Parliament to pass the vexa-
dous actions act, which was undOubt-
edly chiefly aimed Mt Chaffers.
Even after this he made attempts
to pursue his indiscriminate persecu-
tions, bu. in vain; and in the work
house it is said that his time was for
the most part spent in projecting law
suits against all and sundry.

The rewards Of heaven are not based

Some forms Of Bible study are at

Button Houses,

Did you ever make any button houses
II not, you might like to hear of two
little girls who did. 1t was too cold to
play out-of-doors. and they were tired
of dolls and all other ''boughten" toys
They borrowed" their mammals but
ton -box-such as every mamma has In
her sewing ro0m-and emptied its con
tents on the table. First they selected
all Of the common white buttons that
were of the same size. and laid them
down in the form of a square abou,
six inches across. That was the
"house," and the different rooms were
made by checking OF this big square
with smaller white buttons, thus max
ing four rooms Of equal size. The
doors were easily made by removing
a button wherever they thought best
For furniture in the dining room
there was a large brown cloak-button
for table, and three small brown
cloth covered buttons for chairs. Fol
the parlor and sitting room chairs
there were odd fancy buttons Of steel
smoked pearl. and one Of velvet. A
square mother pearl button and one
of blue glass were the center tables
and n suspender buckle which was
found in the box was voted to be a
beautiful piano. with a round brass but
ton for a stool TO make 1t complete.
For a couch. they put two square bore
h6ttons together, with 6 red velvet but.
ton for a pillow.
In the kitchen they had four black
coat buttons for chairs, and big black
cloak-button for a stove, because" as
they declared, 1.-The four holes made

that the family which lived there were
very healthy, and never became t1rcd

Who lived in this house? Why, but

times one kind and sometimes an
other, for as often as she changed

a very gay life-going out riding every
day in their button carriage. and hav-

which all their friends (the buttons

The Summer Bath.

Nothing is more refreshing and in.

bath. But to have it effectual soft wa.
ter and good soap must be used. Ivory
Soap is the best for the purpose; ii is
pure. dissolves quickly, sweetens and
purifies the cuticle, gives a healthfu
glow, and leaves the skin soft and
white. Early morning, or just before
retiring at night, is the most favorable
time for bathing. ELIZA L. PARKER

The Right Kind OF Gloves.

A good story comes from an up
country mission station Mt the Cape.
The occasion was q native wedding.
and, as usual, the bride was attired in
white hat, white dress and white
shoes, but great surprise was occasion
ed by the fact that she wore black
gloves. The native women on such
occasions try to be quite In mode,
and there was a good deal of inquiry
about the girls departure from the
usual custom Of dressing entirely in
white. The mystery was explained
when she told the clergyman's wife
that she had studied an English fash
ion paper. and had there read that the
custom now was to wear tiesh-colored
glOves.-LOndon Tit-Bits.
