I think the cat had upset Polly’s food, or something of that kind; however they seemed all right again. An hour or so after, Polly was stand- ing on the edge of the table; she called out, in a. tone of deep affection. ‘Puas, puss, come then, come then, pussy.’ Pussy went, and looked up innocently enough. Polly with her beak seized a basin of milk stand- ing by, and tipped the basin and all its con- tents over the cat ; then chuckled diaboli- cslly.

The curious attack which Lady Florence Dixie states to have been made upon her by men disguised as women, and from whose daggers she was mercifully saved by the intervention of a cnrset bone and a dog, has given rise to much comment in the London press. The following remarks from the British Medical Journal are interesting : Recent circumstances have directed atten- tion to certain remarkable delusions to which females of 'unstable, nervous equilibrium are subject. either through hysteria or through similar disorders of the nervous system. Charcot and Bourne- ville give instances of the extraordinary self-deceptions that are frequent among hysterical patients. Dr. Legrand du Saulle, physician to the Salpetriere, Paris, describes in his standard 'work,‘ “ Les Hysteriques." some remarkable cases of hallucination, where females labored under the belief that they have been struck or stabbed bv others, even after having inflicted blows or wounds upon themselves. In one instance a young woman was found by her husband lying on the floor-(f her room in a fainting fit, her face covered with blood. On reviving from her swoon she stated that she had been attacked by armed men ; the ’ ris news~ papers related the case, and bin three- weeks two similar events 0’ urred in the French metropolis. All these cases proved to be fabricated by the supposed Victims. A young girl wounded herself slightly with a pistol. She gave the police authorities the most minute details about an imaginary as~a<sin, who, according to her account, fired the weapon, but she was found to be highly hysterical, and it was proved that she had wilfully wounded her- self. In a third case in Dr. du Saulle’s experience, a young woman was found in a railway-carriage, stabbed in the left side. The incidcnt eiused great excitement, but it was proved. contrary to her assertions, , that she had inflicted the wound herself, ‘ and was a hysterical subject. A house-i maid was found lying behind a door,b0und, ‘ gagged, and covered with bruises. She i stated that she had been brutally attacked ‘ by two burglars with blackened faces, but i the was a highly hysterical woman, , and there appears to have been strong . evidence that she had contrived to tie her own hands and to gag; and bruise . herself. Perhaps the strangest case of all occurred in M. Tardieu’s practice. Ayoung lady, living at Courbevoie, wished to make herself an object of public interest by pass- 1 ing as a victim of political conspiracy, which she pretended tohave discovered. One ‘ night she was found in a state of the great- ‘ est mental perturbation at the door of-her . apartment. She could not talk, but stated 1 in writing that she had been attacked out- ‘ side her own house by a man, who had attempted to gsrrote her, at the same time striking her twice with adagger. Only the lady’s clothing was injured; and the body of her dress and her corset were found to be cut through, but at different levels. She tried to make out that the attempt at strangulation had caused dumbncss. M. Tardieu remarked in her hearing that this infirmity rapidly disappeared when produced under circum- stances of this kind. She soon managed to regain her speech, and in a short time admitted that the whole narrative had been developed out of her inner conscicusness. Eccentricity in relatives is ever strongly presumptive of self-deception when afemale makes any statement or charges of ill-treat- ment of any kind. The constant fear of assassination, especially it based on reasona- ble grounds, is particularly liable to pre- dispose nervous or excitable subjects to extraordinary delusions of this kind.

The old proverb, " he who sleeps, eat-s," is illustrated in those little ones who sleep most. Wakeful children are almost always peevisb, irritable and lean. If they can be induced to sleep abundantly, they are quite likely to become goodnatured and plump. Their sleep should be as much during the hours of darkness as possible, and therefore it is better that they [should go to bed before sunset to have their sleep out, than to lie long after sunrise in the morning. It is well to let any healthful, growing child or young person sleep until he wakes himself, and give him such variety and amount of out-door exercise as shall make him glad when bedtime returns. now to Keep Silverware. Solid silverware as well as plated goods grows dark and tarnished in a very short time when exposed to the air, and even when put away in a. dark place. This is especially the case where hard coal is used in the house .or neighborhood, as the sulphur in the coal, liberated by heat. is sure to stain all the silverware within reach. This annoying tarnishing can be entirely prevented by painting the silver- ware with a soft brush dipped into alcohol in which some collodion has been dis- solved. The liquid dries immediately and forms a thin. transparent and absolutely invisible coating upon the silver, which completely protects it from all effects of the atmosphere, etc. It can be removed at any time by dipping the article in hot water. This recipe has been in use for some time. Medical men will tell you that about two hours’ exercise in the open air should be taken every day. But this does not mean you are to take it all at once. Before break- fast is a good time for a. gentle walk, yet the delicate should swallow a. mouthful or two of milk or eat a. tiny biscuit before going out. A glass of cold water does good too before one's walk, and it is a. good plan to walk, say a. quarter of a. mile, to a. well, drink a. glass of water there and then return. To- those who take this advice breakfast will be anything but a. make believe. Never take ' exercise on a, full meal. From two or three hours after is the best time. and if you take your principal exercise before dinner, be sure to allow time for at least half an hour of rest before you sit down ; else you are but opening the door for indigestion to walk in and play havoc with your health. Exercise, to be beneficial, must be regular; but perhaps you are afraid of the weather. I pray you be not so; wrap up lightly but well, and defy it. 'Defy the wind, the ruin, my, and sleet and HJOW itself ; for one does not catch cold when actually taking exercise, I do assure you. Finally, let your exercise be varied, one day this kind, and the other that, but always pleasant, always plea‘eur- able, and taken at the same hours day after day. You may find it irkaome at first, but it will 50011 become a. habit, and your guerdon will braâ€"health. Saving IA nbor. . Some time ago, when the subjectof wash- ing day was under consideration, I noticed an article from a. long-ago neighbor in a. Western State-Tone of those noble pioneer women, the remembrance of whom re- minds one of Paul’s deecrlptiun : “ If she have brought up children, if she have lodged Wranglers,“ elm have washed the saint-5’ feet, ii elm have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.” She spoke of not puzting her clothes to soak over night, as she washed It is hard for a young mother who has but yet overcome the wayward tendencies of her own youthful nature to realize the influence she exerts over her little ones. She is constantly surrounded by critical imitators, who copy her morals and man- nets. As the mother is, so are the sons and daughters. If a family of children are blessed with an intelligent mother, who is dainty and refined in her manners, and does not consider it necessary to be one woman in the drawmg-room and an entirely dif- ferent person in her everyday life, but who is a true mother. always a tender, charming woman, you will invariably see her habits of speech and perfect manners repeated in her children. Great, rough men,and noisy busy boys will always tone their voices and step quietly, and try to be more mannerly when she stops to give them a kind word or pleasant smileâ€"for a true mother will never fail to say or do all the kind pleasant things she can that will in any way help to lift up and cheer those whose lives are shaded with care and toil. The mother of to-day rules the world of tomorrow. Prnposul Dress Brier-ms. Some of the statements made at the recent meeting in London of the Rational Dress Society to consider reform in woman's dress are rather interesting, not because any one will be in the slightest degree influenced by them, but as showing what the results are when common sense is applied to the many absurdities in the present mode of dress. Mrs. McLsren said that the society had arrived at three con- clusions: First, the tight bodice must be abolished; second, freedom of movement and necessary warmth without weight could not be attained without the adoption of some kind of divided shirt; and third,fluc- .tuating fashion must be crystallized into some unchanging shape of dress. Dr. Rich- hrds’on eaid‘that menwould be sufferingevery day from colds and bronchial affections if they went as women went, with the upper part of their bodies unclothed, and it was his experience in the large majority of cases of people born With consumptive tendencies brought under his "notice, that the cause of the mischief was exposure of the chest. Artists must be left to speak it the color of the outside dress, but the color most serviceable in this temperate none and the color which most accorded with all that related to health was the grey color. For cleanliness, effect of light upon the bady and warmth, grey was the best color, black the worst. Clothing should be as porous as possible, and he thought there was no substance for dress like light. loose woollen cloth. Shetland woollen cloth was the best. He agreed with the condemnation oflaiies’ veils as injuriors to vision. The ladies of this society had made a. real ad- vance in deciding in favor of the divided skirt.

In his address to the Grand Jury at St. Catharines yesterday Judge Burton made the following remarks concerning the ad- mission of the evidence of agnostios in the trial of cases : “ I regret very much that the Dominion Parliament threw out the bill which would have allowed agnostios and others to give evidence. I regret it because it appears to be a public mistake to judge of itin the Way in which it appears to have been judged by several members of the House of Commons. It is not that any privilege is granted to the particular per- sons who do not believe in a Supreme Being or in a future state, but it is in {act the depriving of an innocent man of the opportunity of getting the evidence of the only man that might, perhaps, be the means of proving his inno- cence. The proper administration of justice demands that all parties be per- mitted to give evidence, whether by aflir- mation or in such other way as the parties say is binding on their consoience, leaving to the jury, which is the judge of the facts, to say what amount of credence should be given to the evidence given under such circumstances. I say I regret it, and I hope, if you are of the same opinion with myself, that you will strengthen the hands of those who take the merciful new that it is desirable that all the evidence that can be given may be brought out in order that the parties accused of crimes, and who may have no other means of establishing their innocence, may avail themselves of the evidence of all."

Wagner, the composer, as is well knowg, ran away with the wife ustms von Bulow, the eminent pianist, with whom he was then on terms of intimate friendship.

To wait is also an objection, and Ifind it quite as well to soap the dirtiest places. Rubbing them slightly through the first water; and if one has good soap it is just as well as soaking over night. Of course the main rubbing is done in the second suds. My object in writing at this time is to give a good way of making soft soap, which may not be familiar to all your readers. One of the in- gredients which we use more liberally than many people is lime. A pack of quicklime is not too much for a barrel of soap. This is placed near the top of the ashes, and the leach wet with cold water a. day or two before we wish to make the soap. Then we put on boiling water, and use the strongest lye to “ out ” the grease. We never useless than a pound of clear grease, or its equivalent, to a gallon of soap. This amount of grease neutralizes the caustic effect of the lime and lye. so that washing- day never leaves the fingers so sore that they will hardly heal from one week to another. Soap made in this way is not a jelly that rolls to the bottom of the tub and is wasted, but it, adheres to the clothes like salve, and by the time it is well rubbed 03 the garment is clean. Fashions in Gloves. , Fashions in gloveshave changed suddenly. The very swell thing is for ladies to go glovcless when in full dress. The fashion is not at all popular yet, but bids fair to come into favor, as it has been set by several of the most advanced leaders. It is a violent change from the very long gloves that till recently were in fashion. The long gloves were a blessing to women with un- attractive arms, but the women w1th good arms were not so enthusiastic over them. The victory is in favor of beautiful arms, which goes to show there are more of that sort than the other. Now that I think of , it, however, I don’t ever remember that I ever met a woman who didn‘t believe that her arms were beautiful. With men the fashion has also changed radically. It has not been the proper thing for men to wear gloves with evening dress for some years ‘ past. This season, however, both in Lon- don and in Paris, light gloves are worn. ‘ great ; glove-makers claim that they will be ruined ‘ They should not be pure white. The if women decide to go without gloves. ‘ All About the Kitchen Work. A lady, who for a time was compelled to do all of her own kitchen work, says; “If every iron pot, pan. kettle, or any utensil used in the cooking of food, be washed as soon as emptied, and while still hot, half the labor will be saved.” It is a simple habit to acquire, and the wash- ing of pets and kettles by this means loses some of its distasteful aspects. No lady seriously objects to washing and wiping the crystal and silver, but to‘tackle the black, greasy and formidable-looking ironware of the kitchen takes a good deal of sturdy brawn and muscle, as well as common sense. Mary J. Cunningham, e. welLknown young lady in the western section of the city, died suddenly of heart disease late lTuesday night, at the residence of her parents, under circumstances of peculiar sadness. A young man named John Calla- han, to whom she was soon to be married, celled during the evening. He remained until about 10 o’clock when he started to leave. Miss Cunningham caught his arm, saying, “Please do not go yet." He turned, with some gentle protestetion, when he noticed that she was very pale and gasping for breath. He caught her in his arms and called for assistance, but in a. few moments she was dead. Dr. H. L. E Johnson, of the Columbia Hospital, was sent for, and arrived promptly, but too late for his services to be of any avail.TWasIz- ington Post. Mme.

Georgia railroad train. He set in a. parlor car, for which he _ had bought a. ticket, when a brskemsn ordered him out, and, as he refused to go, the conductor aided in forcing him to the smoking car. The Bishop made aoomplaint to the superintendent of the road, but nothing was done about it. Another negro Bishop, Dr. Gsin, was. in 1881, ejected from a. first-class car, while travelling with his wife in Texas, and both were compelled to take their seats in the smoking oer, greatly to their discomfort. So also, in 1882, Bishop Payne. of the some Church, while travelling in Florida, was subjected to the same indignity. The letter Bishop is past 70, and, rather than go in among the smokers, he walked twenty miles, carrying his baggage on his beck, in order to fulfil an appointment with his preachers. On Wednesday evening as Mr. W. J. White. Police Magistrate of St. Thomas, was leaving his office he slipped on a piece of ice and fell heavily, breaking his leg. This will probably confine him to the house for a. long time as be is well up in age 6 minus are that the day will be widely and honorably celebrated.

Your true and lovlzlg On January 12th I called unexpectedly, and found Miss McLean in company with Mr. Chisholm in the sittingroom; after- wards saw them whispering together in the drawing-room. I didn't say anything, but went down-stairs, and she came into the dining-room ; I took my coat and hat and wanted to go out; Miss McLean asked what was the trouble. “You are going away so early ;" I told her that if she kept a man boarding there more than a day and anight without letting me know, it was time for me to go; so I went home and wrote a letter asking for an explanation about the gentleman; she said she would leave her house and visit her aunt ; I then went home to bed and was sick for two weeks.

Some of the papers announce that He Royal Highness the Princess Louise and the Marquis of Lorne will reside, on their return from Canada. at Dornden, “ a place which they have purchased nesr Tunbridge Wells.” The Princess and Lord Lorne bought Dornden shortly after their mar- riage, and frequently resided there for several years ; but when they went to Canada they resolved to get rid oi the place, and after having been in the market for a. considerable period, it has lately been sold to 3 Liverpool merchant. Princess Louise and Lord Lorne will probably have the use of Roseneeth, the Duke of Argyll’s beautiful place on the Gareloch, se a country residence. They will go to Italy for the winter directly after their return from Canada. All rumors respecting Lord Lorne's successor at Ottawa. are speculative and prematureâ€"London World. “ Lord ennui-cu.” Interesting Narrative or Ills Life and Counsel-1p. A despateh from Montreal says: Dr. Henry Allen, known to fhe press as Lord Cantvre, tells the story uf his adventures, love and marriage in an interview. His family resided in Whitechurch, Somerset- shire, Es land, but he himself had been born in- taly, near Florence, and the first, ten years of his life were passed there and in southern Germany. He was, however, educated in England, at Eton, and after- ward at Oxford. Leaving college, he studied medicine, became an M. D., and also took a degree in surgery. By this time he had reached the age of 22. The doctor, how- ever, did not practice medicine for a living. having devoted his time to other pursuits. He travelled a good deal, and in 1878 came out on a visit to this country, passin through Canada to the Pacific coast, an spending a good deal of his time in Cali- fornia, Colorado and Mexico. He was decorated with the Victoria cross, showed several wounds, and said he was only six- teen miles from the Prince Imperial when the latter was killed. He had been at the Isandlwana, Ziobane, Kambula, Uluudi. These were during the Zulu campaign. and during the Boer campaign he was present at the siege of Pratoria, and in the Basuto war he was at the battles of Moiroisa Mountain, Masera and Thiotsl. He met his wife on board the Italy while coming to America as Dr. Henry Allen. He continues: " We became intimate, and struck up: a friendship that will outlast any amount of backbiting. I displayed an assiduity in my attention that some of the passengers thought ‘was premature, but no objections were raised by Miss Graham, under whose charge Miss Chafley was." On their arrival at New York he visited Miss Chafley three times a day, took the party to the theatre an d opera, and was made. welcome in every way. He put up at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, registering there as Surgeon Maj. Allen. In a few days Miss Chaffey left for home, and Allen took a short tour through the States, visiting Washington and the Falls. During this period he and Miss Chafiey corresponded. In about a fortnight he arrived at Pertht where he knew Miss Chafley was visiting. her guardian, Judge Senkler. \He went to Hick’s hotel, where he registered himself as Dr. Henry Allen, and immediately sent his card and a note to Miss Chaiey. About 6, continued Dr. Allen, Judge Senkler called and, addressing himself to me, asked if I was Dr. Allen. I said I was, and he' replied that Miss Chafley had sent him up to bring me down to the house. Dr. Allen accordingly went to the house, and was well received by the Sank- ler family. Two days afterward he requested Judge Senkler’s permission to pay his addresses to his ward. Judge Senkler made use of the following words : ‘ ” In this country young people settle such . things themselves. You have my ermis- sion,” and further encourage him with the homely advice, “ Go in ' and win." The name of Cantyre was a joke which commenced between ‘ himself and his wife, and finally leaked out, when he had to face it out. He said further, " I do not know what Miss Chafley (my wife) may have said to Judge Senkler to insure me such a. good reception, but at any rate shortly after that she began to call me Gastyre in fun, and when the others inquired how I could be Cantyre and Allen at the same time, we only 7 laughed, and put them 03. Miss Chafley (my wife) amused herself by writing cards on which she styled herself ‘ the Countess of Cantyre,‘ and penned invitations to unknown people beginning, ‘ The Countess of Cantyre requests the pleasure,’ etc. When she called me ‘Oantyre,’ Iusedto . call her ‘ my little Countess.’ Gradually these cards came to be seen, and some how or other I had not the moral cour. age to set them right, and it soon came to be understood that I was really Lord Cantyre. At this time I had never heard of the carnival at Montreal, and never supposed that the aflair would go outside the family or the village." The doctor contends that'his wife is true to him and that his letters to her are intercepted. He says that he has been oflered by Mr. Riehards’lawyer $2,000 and a ticket to any part of the United States he would like tO‘ go, but refused; and he also accuses one of his wife’s guardians with having speculated on his wife’s money. He is determined not to give up his wife without a struggle. Edwin Booth will return from Euiope in The Princess Louise and Lord Lorne. BABY.
