Bis ACCIOEXTAX XABRIAGK8. He Go«* Ilatk Anotber chapter in the checkered career 3( the Tichborne claimant waa began on Taeaday, savB a New Vork despatch, when " Sir Koger," with his child- wile and l-weeks-old heir, sailed for England in the 3t«amer Wyomin;;. He go«a to England, he says, to leccare ander c<.>ntract and to ravoscitate bis long- buried suit ior " the estates." Sir Roger's two years' residence is America has not been protitable, his entire worldly possessions now consisting of two trunks and a valise and a few dollars la casta, the proceeds of the sale of his for- •litare. He says : - All I have to carry b«ck to the Old Coontry is one of th.- best of wives and an heir to ruy estates, for which I have prayed these ten years. Yes- terday I had only H in the world. Xhroogh the kindness of a New York broker, whom I knew in the Old Coontry, I have been able to secure a passage. I have accepted an offer to lecture at Manchester for JtS a week, and I also have « bonae in London, of which I have the use daring my life. But before long I expect to be pretty well tized, for I am certain of winning my oase this lime, and when I am master of £.Jo0.000 a year I shall n»t forget my old friends and those who have stood by me on this side of the water. " •' What makes you bo sare of winning yoar suit?" 'â-  Bocause of the new evidence which will be produced. A few months ago my solici- tors sent me over a bond to sign, by which r engaged to pay S->.000 upon gaining my estates to two gentlemen who have under- taken to go to the Cape of Good Hope, where 1 was shipwrecked, and recover the papers which were lost there. Their pro- daction will prove my claims beyond a shikdow of a dottbt. Besides this, there ia the matter of a birthmark, or rather a oertain physical peculiarity about me, which has never been made public and which will for ever set the matter at rest. When I come into my estatesâ€" which will bftppen, I am sure, within nine months, oiueM there are anforeseen delaysâ€" I shall first return to Aastralia, and then, perhaps. pay a flyini; visit to New York." ^ • The Art of OwdIos I p. '" Kuoxonian * in Cana..'.* I'rvst'V^-r.a::. A pastor is met at the door by a good lady parishioner, who thinks she has been aec'iected. She has been nursing her wrath to aeep Vt warm. She has succeeded. She always does. Levingly she says, " Dear me, Mr. A., is this you? Have you really found your way here ? I thotight von had forgotten u$. You have not called for six months." "Mv dear madam," says the pastor, " is that all ? I thought it most have been four or five years." " Your steak is tough," growls the good man as he begins his dinner. " Yes. dear, ' mildly answers the good wife, " it is very loagh. I thought of sending some of it down to the sh^^emaktr's to be used in half- soling the children's boots." Better own ap even in that exaggerated way than have a L|narrel over the dinner table. •• This account is larger than I expected," says the customer, forgetting that accotmts nearly always are larger than one expects. â- * These biUs do run up rather last," mildly answers the merchant. Better say that than have a wrangle over the bill, ending in a lawsuit. The art of owning up ought to be culti- vated. There are thousands of cases every day in which people might own up with- out the slightest sacrifice of principle or self-respect. As a rule only strong men own up, and that is one reason why there is so little of it. gtoriw ot Thos« Who Ket by Chance aad Made LUe Partnership*. Marriages are often the reasit of acci- dent. It seems strange, bat tbe mos\ pru- dent persons will sometimes conceive an irresistible attachment at the foggestion of a word or look. When once under the spell of the verb " to love ' they go through all the forms and finish the con j ogation of tbe verb before the altar. The few may give the subject the consideration it de- serves, but the many, there is fear, are guided by impulse. A skipper of a coast- ing vessel called at the village inn and asked the landlady, a young widow : " Do you know where I can get a mate '.' I have lost my mate." "I am sorry for you, Mr. ," she said, " I want a mate, too, and cannot get one. I'll do; if you'll be mine, I'll be yours." He closed with the bargain, and the widow keeping her word, he is now supplied with two mates. A young man at a church ha^ar was button-holed by a lady ; she would not let him go until he bought something. He looked at her stall, which contained fancy work of various kinds. " Why." he said, •• I see nothing here that would be of the least use to me, a bachelor, except yourself. The reat would be dear to me at any price." " I will be cheap enough," she said coax- ingly. " If yOQ could be dear enough, per- haps â€" " ' Oh, come 'â-  Ysu are just the man I want," taking him by the arm. She sold him one article after another, keeping up agreeable conversation the while, and before all was done he had purchased everything on the stall. Then at settling up there was something said about discount. " I cannot return any money." she said, blushingly ; '• but if you think me dear enough, there's mamma. She can give you my hard. ' The bargain was accordingly concluded. An eminent doctor, who had saved the life of a lady, a personal friend, was asked his charge. He said he generally allowed his patient friends to remunerate him as they thought be:itting. " But don't you c^en get disappointed on these terms . " she inquired. " I may say, never." •• As you are so easily pleased â€" here," and she playfully gave him her empty hand, while In the other was concealed a cheque for a handsome sum. " How easily I could have taken ycu in," sheadded, pro- ducing the che>ine. •• But you have only sucoeeded in draw- ing me out, " he said, declining to relin- quish her hand. " Don't insult me with a cheque. I am most generously re- warded.' ' Perhaps she understood the doctor's dif- ficulty and wished to help bin out of it. At any rate the giving of her hand led him to o3er his heart. This is how a gentleman got his wife when, in a tobacconist's shop, be asked a girl behind the counter, who happened to have red hair, if she would oblige him with a match. • With pleasure, if you will have a red- headed one," she promptly replied, with such a suggestive, demure smile that event- ually the red. headed match was banded over. A lady with a fine tigure having taken a fancy to a valuable ring which she saw ticketed in a shop window, went inside to examine it. •â-  It is exceedingly lovely. I wish it were mine," she said on satisfying herself. " What smaller figure will leiapt you ?â- * '• No other figure than the figure before me," he said, giving her an admiring lock at the same time "It is exceedint^ly lovely. I wishâ€" I could tempt you with the ring." "I think I'll take it," she said laying down the money amii blushes. Of coarse. be accepted the money, but getting her ad- dress he made such good use of the hint that the next ring which she got was given by him in church. ' Quite as singular was the beginning of the courtship of the man who went into a shop for a pair of shoes. " I want them wide, please, ' he said to the girl in attendance. " as I have a goed, broad understanding." She laughed at this reference to the breadth of his feet, and said : "A very good thing, too, in a man, but not in a woman." "How do you make out that what is good in one sex is bad in the other ?" " Ah, it is quite simple. Yoa see nature intendeid man to oe supported by a firm soul, but woman by a yielding hus- band." Whether he made a yielding husband or not, report at any rate 'says that h« made her his wife. â€" Li>mion Tid Biu. ECOKOXICAI. NONSEXSK. Folly of TrylBc to Live on a Stated N'am- ber of IKillar* Per Wc«k. There is a disease very prevalent at all limes and over all ihe earth, sayij Table Talk, which Shakspeare calls " consump- tion of the purse " and for which many heads, wise and otherwise, are repeatedly recommending sovereign remedies. One form or stage of it, where it gallops into the exchequer of the boosebold, has been the object, seemingly, ef the closest study on the part of these " Otherwise ' purse physicians, whose prescriptions when adopted are followed by no beneficial re- sults, but on the contrary by those wh:ch are absolutely mischievoas. £conomy is their cry and a capital cry it is, for it in- sures a multitude of listeners, each and all anxioas to be shown bow it is possible to keep the stomach fall without diving into the pocket. Now economy is a good thing when we thoroaghly understand the mean- ing of it ; and we may reet ass'.ired that until we do we shall never °oe able to prac- tice it. To spend money well is a more di£call task than to earn i: . and indeed spending it well is one of the ways of earn- ing it. We Americans have been accused of great waste in our kitchens and no doubt there is truth in the accosatien and is likely to be until more tact, more good sense and more watchfulness be exercised by those in control of tbe boosebold. B ut still, economy IS one thing and the mean^iess wh:ch attempts to Uve on next to nothing is 'juite another ; and it is of these attempts and their reconunenders we would now speak. It is a very common thing to see m the columns of the daily papers communica- tions, generally anonymous, asserting the possibility of a family of a stated number of persons living comfortably en a a:a:e<I number of dollars per week ana backi::,^ up their assertion w.th an array of r^^arts whose falsity it re-.;u:re9 bu: little practical investigaiiju to prove. Many a housewife tries them and finds that the amount fixed upon as soi&cient to faruish her family with all the needed food will scarcely pay for the two articles of bread and batter required for the months of her three or four gro *-ing children. But this is :-Qt the only nor the worst mischi<:f that may grow out of the nonsense of these anonymous purse physicians. And we know whereof we speak. A husband who had been in the habit of giving his wife ten or fifteen dollars or more, as the case may be. for the weekly marketing, picks up his morning paper and is there told that one-half cf his allow- ance is all that is necessary-. Now, if he believes it, a rather onpleasact alternative is apt to cross his hamor. Lil'ner his wife is extravagant in her purchases and pays more for her eatables than she should, or spends the surplus with the milliner and dressmaker. Of coarse there is many a husband whose over-fondness would forbid either end of such an alternative interfer- ing with the uxorious tenor cf his life. But there are others not thus coiutituted ; occasionally one whose carefulness may be the result of a little stinginess, or, perhaps, of mere necessity ; whose suspicions may be easily aroused, and not so easily allayed : and then comes a domestic battle which, whether it ends in smoke or something more serious, will altogether depend upon the temperament of tbe combatants. And all this risk and uooble becaoa^ ot the non- sensical desire of so-called eooBomists to recommend to other households that which they could not. if they would, practice in their own. And now, gentlemen of the press, we have a word for your ear. Many of yoa are " household " men, and prudence should dictate that yea bear a wary eye, lest yea be hoisted, ii is not by your own petard, by one that woald be practically hikrmless without vour aid. A iOBTlXI! l.N CATS. A New Torker Wlio Haa a Xovel Scheme for Gettiof Wealth. • How to Make a Fonune Out of Cats is the title of a new bock wiiich is to be placed on ihe Aoierican market in a short time, sayi Ihe New York Berald. The author is an enterprising New Yorker, who haa made and lost several fcrtunes, and who has finally come to the conclusion that the easiest and safest way to amass filthy lucre IS to breed cats on astnpendjus scale. Exactly how he proposes to heap up for himself treasures oa earth was fully ex- plained by him to a reporter yesterday. " There is an ielacd about' thirty acre* in extent on the New river, in West Virginia," he began. "This island is partly in timber and partly cleared, and can be porchaaed for |l 000. I propcs: to form a stock company for the parpoee of baying this island and starting a cat farm on i:. " If you will think a moment you will see that there are millions of dollars in cats. say we start with 100. OX) caw, of which -i.3,000 are to be black, -.'.v.OOO white. 25,000 Maltese, and 2o.000of the cocamon domestic breed. In the course of a year the cumber of cats on the island wiiX 'oe increa/ied to jOO.OOO. " When the animals are a certain age they will be killed and their skins will be dried and sold in the market. At present c cat' I ikin is worth 10 cents. We folly aalculate en being able to kill 1,000 cats daily. " The intestines wiU be sold to dealers in musical-instrument sirings. and th$ car- caasses will 'oe put into big vats, boiled, and given as food to the Uve cats. The 'oones can. of coarse, be converted into glue and afterward into bone fertiiiaers. In one year we can kill 300.000 cats, whose siius wiU net us JSO.'XW. Their bones will be worth at least $20 a ton. and their int<.-3tn:es and carcasses will also be worth a good deal of money. Kemetn'&er, '.oo. that by using the-aead cats as food for their live brethren we are spared th: expense of cat food. ' Jast ttiink. too. bow beautiful a rug or carpet of white catskin. with a border of maltese, would look, «:id how many charm- ing combinations couii be made of the various colors '. Why, ladies would buy them by the thcosand, aai I am positive that with an ootlay of not more than i.j 000 at least T.W.OOO could be made in a smgli year." BEfiTACKAUTa I> CONGO.

The addition of the bicarbonate of soda to milk fer its preservation has hitherto been tolerated by the French police, but the Council cf Hygiene of the Seine has con- demned the practice, as it is not free from danger. The transportation of the sugar of milk into lactic acid gives rise, in milk so adolterated, to a lacute of soda which is purgative, and is thus a cause of diar- rhica in young children. Under these conditions'lhe Council considers that the addition of the bicarbonate of sods to milk, which is an aliment of the first order, and very often prescribed for invalids and children, should neither be authorized nor tolerated.

Another Illusion Gone, Science goes for things dear to us with- out mercy, says the Martha's Vineyard Hrrai'J, Everybody who has lived in the country, and who knows the old well loves tbe " old oaken bucket." We all love it because we have read what the poet says about it, and in our school days we chose the poem as our " piece " and spoke it. We have quenched our thirst from the old oaken bucket with its contents, after carefully looking into its dubious depths for " wigglers " or worms. We have balanced the rusty, dripping inoen- venience on the curb and submerged our noses in the " nectar " we gulped. We have spilled the " crystal " on our shirt front and profanely growled as we felt it trickle down inside our collar. We have seen the leaking drizzle from a hole in the bucket spoil our 5-cent shine. We have longed under these circumstances for a cheap glass tumbler or a common tin dipper, but in all our tribulations we never thought the old osJten bucket an iron- boand death dealer, but it seems that it is, for a scientist tells us that it is " a com- pound, condensed mass of nitrogenous and phosphatic filthiness, the home of the microbe and the all- prevailing bacteria." A Notorious Woman. Bertha Ueyman.who travelled in Canada in May last under the name of Bertha Marie Brown, was arrested in San An- tonio, Texas, last I'rilsy on the Btren>;th of a telegram from the Superintendent of the Los Angeles iCal.i police. Heyman was on her way to New Orleans with a yoong man named W, H. Stanley, One hundred and thirty dollars in money, five gold watches and a quantity of diamonds and jewellery were found on their persons. They also had a large amount of luggage. Heyman is considered by tbe police one of the cleverest confidence people m the busi- ness. She is believed to have been in Tor- onto only four or five weeks ago, being the housekeeper of a prominent barrister there, and succeeded in swindling the Toronto lawyer of a good portion of his wealth by means of her old racket, the worthless safe deposit.
