Her biography. when it is written, will read like a re- mance, for her career has been a. strange admixture of vicissitudes, of triumphs, of toil, of ambition, of sorrows, and of suc- cesses. Twenty years ago Miss'Abbot was singing in a. Brooklyn choir, seeking to get together money enough to pay the expense of study in Europe. Today, at the age of 38, she is the richest woman on any stage. The Queen’s own rooms at Balmoral, in which she breakfasts, works during the morning, and passes the evening after leaving the dinner circle, are on the first floor, and Sir Henry Ponsonby has await- ing room close at hand. These rooms look to the west, and command fine views of the Dee Valley, with the mountains in the distance. The Prince Consort’s rooms adjoin those of the Queen, and have never been altered in any respect whatever since his death, and his rooms at Windsor and at Osborne are also preserved unchanged since 1861. “Ah, it fills my heart,” said a country minister. as the last note of the organ died away, “to see so many strangers gmong us on this beautiful Sabbzitvh mom- Some time ago Mrs Langtry engaged a chef at a salary of $15 a. day to take entire charge and prm ide every thing for her kitchen. The chef, a Frenchman by the name of Broche, soon found out that, ow- ing to the luxurious tastes of his mistress, the sum allowed him was entirely inade- quate for the contract. He brought m a bill for extra marketing, amounting to $225, which Mrs. Langtry refused to pay. He has now brought suit against her in the New York courts. ferns. The corners of 1:56 cloth were tied with White and violet satin ribbon. The “I hear that Jones is contesting his wife’s will,” said one man to another. “I don' t know how that may he,” replied the other. “What’ 3 that ?” “Jones never contested his wife’s will when she was alive. He seems to be getting courageous under his sad affliction.” That “deeply wronged legitimate Sov- ereign of the Sikhs, Duleep Singh,” as he styles himself, has addressed a. letter to the Queen, a copy of which he has circul- ated. The “deeply wronged" one de- mands that the Punjab should be handed back to him, and, as this will require time, he suggests that Her Majesty should at once return to him the Koh-i- Noor. Duleep Singh lived very comfort- able in England, until, notwithstanding the handsome allowance granted to him, he outran the constable, and, as the British Government hardly saw their way to make India contribute to the repayment of his debts, he betook himself to Russia. In the days of the Alhambra “canteen,” he was a great man behind the scenes, and whenever he went to court, he used to go afterwards to the canteen to show himself to the ballet girls, arrayed in his barbaric finery. Labouchere in Truth: “I understand that Madame Albani has promised to head a troupe, consisting of a double quartet of vocalists, for the purpose of giving Italian operatic performances through the United States next winter. A leading feature of the new speculation, which, I believe, is chiefly the enterprise of her husband, Mr. Earnest Gye, is the employ- ment of some of the best students of the local conservatoires of Boston. Chicago, and Cincinnati, in the chorus, and (if de- sirable) in more important parts. To Englishmen, however, the chief interest will lie in the fact that if the American season should come off, our leading orat- orio soprano will not be available to us from next October till the summer of 1890.

THE WATCHMAN, LINDSAY, THURSDAYgMAY 16, 18891 A pint of warm water taken on an empty stomach in the morning is the safest 'and surest of all remedies for habitual constipation. It dissolves the fecal matter, and stimulates peristaltic action, thereby giving a normal action without pain. If the tongue is coated squeeze a. lemon into the water, and drink without sweetening. Careless people are in the habit of tossing their clothes on to the floor when they undress. Garments worn during the day should neither be left lying haphazard anywhere, nor yet be carefully folded up and laid aside over night. Articles of underclothing such as stockings and shirts, and even coats and trousers, should be turned inside out and spread over the backs of chairs, to be aired and freshened up far the next day’s wear. To bleach ivory handles of steel knives, protect the steel with a coating of wax or paraffin, and set the handles in a solution of chloride of lime one part, water four parts, for a day, more or less; then wash the handles in clean warm water, wipe and dry. If satisfactory, warm the metal part and wipe off the wax or paraffin. Warm bread or cake can be cut with- out becoming moist and heavy if the knife, athin, sharp one, is dipped into boiling hot water, wiped quickly, and the breada out immediately, before the knife has had time to cool. A napkin should be laid double on the plate where the warm slices are laid. rat. Black coWs give white milk; so do other cows. Milkmen sell milk to buy their little girls dresses, which they put in water and chalk. Cows chew ends, and each finds its own chew. That is all there is about cows.” Fatherâ€"“But, my dear daughter; that objection doesn’t amount to anything. Don’t you notice that he is going quite bald, and in a. short time he will not have a single red hair on his head 2” The following essay on the cow is by a Californian scholar: A cow is an animal with four legs on the under side. The tail is longer than the legs, but is not used to stand on. The cow kills flies with its tail. A cow has big ears that wiggles on hinges; so does their tail. The cow is bigger than the calf, but not so big as the elephant. She is made so small that she can go in the barn when nobody is looking. Some cows are black, and some book. A dog was hooked once. She tossed the dog that worried the cat that killed the Paint stains that; are dry and old may be removed from cotton or woollen goods with chloroform. First; cover the spot with olive oil or butter. Daughterâ€" “N 0, Father, I cannot many that man. He has red hair.”_ Don’t neglect to wash the teeth on rising and retiring, even though they are untouched during the day. It does pay; well-kept natural teeth beat any artificial ones. It is said that convulsions may fre- quently be cut short by turning the patient on his left side. Nausea, occur- ring as an after-effect of chloroform or ether, may be controlled in the same way. If a. new broom be immersed in boiling water until it is qulte cold, and then thoroughly dried in the air, it will be far more pleasant to use, and will last much longer. Frequent moistening of the broom is conducive to its usefulness, and also saves the carpet. In spite of assertions to the contrary, the witty person seems to be a type that is not altogether extinct. Two well known clergyman lately missed their train, upon which one of them took out his watch, and, finding it to blame for the mishap, said he would no longer have any faith in it. “But,” said the other, "isn’t it a. question, not of faith, but of good works 3” The Puzzled Dairyman.â€"“It’s queer, the water is genuine and so is the milk, but as soon as you put the two together they call it adulterated E”~â€"-â€"Der Ulk. In making sugar cookies, take one cup of shortening, two cups of sugar, one cup of sour milk, one egg, a. salt spoonful of salt, one level teaspoonful of soda, flour enough to mould and roll well; cut out and bake in a qmck oven. When asked twenty-eight years ago to stand for Tinsbury, Charles Dickens said that “nothing would induce him to offer himself as a Parliamentary representative of that place, or of any other under the sun,”laddins.>;, “I declare that, as to all matters on the face of this teeming earth, it appears to me that the House of Com- mons and Parliament altogether is become just the dreariest failure and nuisance that ever bothered this much-bothered world.” The great novelist’s son, how- ever, is of another opinion. Edward Bul- wer Lytton Dickens is now a member of the Australian parliament. Charles Dickâ€" ens was an absolute free-trader. His son is a fire-eating protectionist. Paper bags, in which many articles are sent from the grocery store, should be saved for use when blacking a stove.

An old Yankee, who had never seen a play, was taken to witness Booth’s perfor- mance of Othello, and on being asked at the termination of the piece if he liked it, replied: “Yeas, amazing! But cus me if I don’t guess that little nigger played as well as any of the white fellows, if not better. ”--Chamberwell. young hostess (whose mother did not ap- pear) Wore white cashmere with cuffs and collar of violet velvet, and she carried a white lace Fan on which was painted violets.

In England, where the press is sup- posed to be free, there is something almost like a reign of terror among the newspapers over the result of some recent libel suits. Justice Filled has taken of late to savage charges and constructions against papers, and, with the aid of special juries, has been mulcting them in damages right and left. The Pall Mall Gazette, the other day, was compelled to pay $10,000 for having stated that a husband charged his wife and her paramour with putting him in a lunatic asylum, when the fact of the women’s infidelity had been ad- mitted by her in court and no resonable person doubted the whole truth of the paragraph. The proprietor of the Era one of the oldest dramatic critics in London, was cast for $1,500 for having said In his paper that the can-can dance he himself saw at Brighton was in- decent. He brought a number of the best citizens in Brighton to swear to the same statement, but the jury, who had not seen the nertormance, under the judge’s charge found a verdict against him. The same day theHouse of Lords, sitting judicially, gave its de- cision, on an appeal basit, which was a dictim that a paper printing even a verbatim report of a J udge’s charge might be liable for libel if that charge did not wholly review both sides of a case. ‘ A Sea of Fire. A sea of phosphorescent fire. extending as far as the eye could reach, was passed 185 miles east by north of Cape Hen- lopen by the Allan line steamship Mani- toban, from Glasgow. Capt. Dunlop said “early in the night the heavens suddenly became overcast and intensely dark, and I left the bridge temporarily, leaving Second Officer Johnson in charge. I had hardly reached the chart-room when the cry of fire was announced on the star- board bow, and I rushed on the bridge and found the sea to be like a mass of flame. presenting a scene of sublime grandeur. Whenever a sea broke over the bow of the vessel the drops of fire spread over the ringing and decks like the flying embers of a genuine conflagrat-ion, whose sparks were driven by a strong wind. Everywhere on the deck were found tiny, sparkling, phosphorescent beads, which did not disappear until the next morning. For two hours the vessel was steaming through this sea of fire, causing consxderable alarm to the supersti- tious sailors and passengers. In the dis- tance the sea appeared to be breaking on a strand, but a dip of the log without find- ing bottom indicated that shoal water was not near at hand.’ This phenomenon has caused considerable interest among scinentific men, a similar sea having been seen several months ago in the Bay of Bengal, which has puzzled the learned heads of Europe. An elaborate report will be prepared for the hyrographic oflice. Secret Writing. A device for secret writing by means of the typewriter is mentioned by the Paper World as a recent invention. It requires two typewriters similarly ad- justed. They are so constructed that the type can be shifted from their nor mal positibn, so that the operator, striking the key in the usual way, really writes other letters than those in his c0py, forming a. cipher copy. The receiver adjusts his machine in an op- posite direction and writes from the cipher copy, and his machine records the letters of the orignal copy. The principle is very simple, says the Mecha nical News. and it at once suggests the possibility of applying the principle of the combination lock to such a con- trivance for all typewriters, so that each owner of a machine can set it to any combination, which only he and his correspondent should know. This must be feasible, and if'the new in- vention is of any use at all, its useful- ness would be much increased by such a plan. The average natural age of the oak is from 1,500 to 2,000 ears; of the elm, 350 to 500 years; the map e, 600 to 800 years; the yew tree, largest of all, 2,500 to 3,000 years; the cedar. 800; linden, 1,200, and the cy~ press, 350. There are trees now stansin believed to be more than 5,000 years 01 . In horses the teeth are 40 in number, and in mareS, not barren, commonly 36, be- cause the latter seldom have tusks. The teeth are of three kinds-â€"-the gatherers or incisors, the tusks, and the grinders, When the foal is 10 to 12 days old four front teeth ap ear, two in the upper and two in the un er jaw. In a month or six weeks after the middle teeth follow, and the corner teeth about three or four months afterwards. These foal-teeth continue in this state till the horse is from 2% to 3years old, when the first four or centre teeth are shed, and replaed by others, called horse teeth.
