A burglar was recently caught in a most interesting style in England at Bourne- mouth.Heterrified Lady Faversham and her young daughter by coming out of his hiding place under the sofa and coolly announcing that he had been, there a whole day and intended to let in his companions on the following night to steal and plunder any- thing they could lay their hands on. The courage and sangiroid shown by the two ladies on the occasion were admirabie‘ beyond all praise. They showed no signs‘ of surprise or alarm. rang the bell and quietly ordered the servant answering it to hand the burglar over to the police. The burglar in his turn was so taken aback by this presence of mind and cool- ness that he forgot to try to escape, and allowed himself to be pinioned like a bird in a cage.

To this he had no objection; on the contrary he was engaged to a. young lady who was quite ready to enable_him to comply with the ml, n __-LA..

The rector, however. learned that the lady was a non- oonformist, and before the marriage took place he threatened to expel the unhappy teacher should he fulfill his promise of marriage. The teacher had too much manliness to submit to the bigoted priest, but, to remove all valid objection, he pro- posed that his sister should take charge of the infant school. The rector, however, replied that even if the wife " had nothing to do with the school he would not consider he would be doing his duty if he did not raise his voice against the situation of master being held by a man who married a ndhéonformfst.” afichigsn schools of medicine shell in such is the demand of a tition presented to the Legislature by one ishop, 'of Detroit,â€"not allowed to snt authority to practice medicine unti the would-be practitioner shell have previously bequeathed his poor body to the dissecting of some medical college.

Comment is necessary, but will not now be made. Many Eleopie are distinctly hysterical. but never ave a fit of hysterics. We often meet with young women who, from their hysterical tendencies. are a source of eonm stant anxiety . to their friends, but who, nevertheless, never have any definite out- break. It occurs almost exclusively in the female sex, but still we meet with it every now and then both in men and boys. Thus the case is recorded of a young.dootor who was distinctly hysterical. He was exceed- ingly attentive to his own sensations, and fancied that he labored under a number of diseases that had no existence but in his own imagination ; he showed great uneasi- i ness and infirmity of purpose; was what is ,_____I DVDS: I-uu m..-.â€"--J ..

When once‘ established it may last for yearsâ€"int fact, for a life-time. When it occurs in men, it generally begins laterâ€"about the age of 40. In them it is usually the result of over-work or excessive worry and anxiety, and that is about the age at which these begin to tell. There is often considerable deterioration of health, an impaired nutrition. and a feeble circula- tion, With exhausted brain. Hysteria occurs in all conditions of life. but it is more frequently met with in the unmarried than in the married, although it is by no means confined to the former. Its more mum-u VVHâ€"O‘vâ€" -v -_- frequent occurrence in single women is probably the result of their social sur- roundings. A woman, if not married, has, as a rule, very little to doâ€"at all events in the middle and upper classes of society. She has no housekeeping to attend to, no children tc'look after, nothing, in fact. to occupy her mind and rouse her out of her. self, and this condition is pro-eminently favorable to the development of hysteria. On the other hand, a wife with a family has a good deal to occupy her attention, in fact, she is more likely to be overworked ‘ than not; she has to think of other people besides herself. and an attack of hysteria finds no place in the routine of her daily duties. An active employment and hysteria seem almost to be antagonistic. »~ A Town Built on hint-0min. No town in Africa can boast such rapid growth as Kimberley, the seat of the Government in Gri ualand West, and the headquarters of the outh African diamond di n 8. Eleven years ago not a hut s w are now some 16,000 peo 1e, with a trade of over 92.000.000 a year, orm one of the most thriving communities on the African continent. It is new discovered that the town is built upon land that promises to be as-productive of diamonds as the neighboring “ diggings” which have _been the source. of its .wealth , A_nL-_‘_ and the very origin of its existence. Kimberley is identical with the " New Rush ” diamond settlement of 1870, and the thousands who flocked to the locality to secure a " leim” in the valuable reefs, which have an worked further and fur- ther to the east of_the‘ site of the‘futmze UHV. uv vâ€"v '__- v- -â€" town, were in such a hurry to seek their fortune in the diggings that they forgot to inquire whether the soil on which they Kitchen their tents or erected their log- uts was not equally diamondifercus. As the wooden shanties have given place to more substantial buildings it has been found that Kimberley itself has been built on a diamond field, and that the west end or residential part of the town is as full of gems as the actual diggings themselves at the eastern or working end. of the town. New claims are beiné taken u in all direcâ€" ‘ tions. and land wh ch was inning to‘ acquire considerable value as bni ding sites, has suddenly assumed fresh importance ias possibly containing some new " Star of South Africa.” How many houses will be pulled down in the search for the diamonds upon which they are built it would be difll- cult to say.

Mr. Langtry, the London solicitor and the husband of the " Jersey Lily," visits Chicago in the interest of that bequest, especially to ascertain the value and condi- tion of the real estate situated at the corner of Fifty-first street and prexel boulevard. a property of the dimensmns of 129 by 129 feet. To ascertain all about this property Mr. Langtry wrll stay there a week. and probably he will car the proceeds of the property back to Che Island in the shape of American dollars to Admiral Glynn.

Granted; but. if a properly kept, they will show how the’ money went, and that is sometimes a difficulty . when one depends on one’s receipts for the large and one’s memory for the small items of one’s expenditure. I heard once of a lady who was considerably annoyed by finding herself short of some money. Reckon it how she would, she ‘ could not account for the loss. The house was searched, servants questioned, and a thoroughly uncomfortable feeling produced in the household, as every one felt the m must have gone somewhere. The lady very particular, and, though not keepi ogular accounts, prided herself on her accuracy and memory, and keeping all her receipts and housekeeping books in splendid order. Atlsst her husband insisted on-her putting down every small sum she could remember, in spite of her protesta- tions that she had done this herself; and little by little, with a good deal of trouble, she accounted for some of the missing change. _Eventually the whole sum was accounted for by one of her children at school writingto thank her for some small present she had sent and totally forgotten.

To cook a turnip, says The Caterer, is so simple a matter that there should be very little said about it. Generally speaking. however, this wholesome vegetable Is presented in a washed-out state, so that it is quite seldom we discover its real flavor. Many will, perhaps, say that the real flavor of the turnip is too strong, and this may be an argument in favor of the reduction of its flavor in the recess of cooking. " De gustibus non est 'sputandum.” and those :who cannot endure the full flavo of this root will have no trouble in nu uiug it. But it should be known that the saccharine and gummy constituents that are removed and therefore lost in the customary modes of cooking are the most nutritious r'tions, and communicate to the dish w on it is cooked, on what we may call conservative principles, a far flner flavor than the majority of people are aware of. That we may be understood, we will ask the reader to cook two turnips in two different ways. The first is to be peeled and sliced, and left to soak in cold water for an hour or more. The slices are to be boiled until quite ten~ der, and then are to be drained and nicely mashed with butter. This is the most common method or cooking, and it has the demerit of washing out the gum and sugar and other fine constituents of the root, and consequently the ., flavor is very much reduced. The other root is to be washed quite clean, but it is not to be led, or out. or soaked. Boil it who e in its “ jacket.“ It will take twice as long to cock as the one that was out. When, by- trying it with a fork. you find it quite ‘ tender, take it up, peel it. press it moder- ately, and mash it with butter. You will be surprised at the diflerence. Instead of being, as perhaps you will expect, “ strong." “ rank," or ” bitter," it will be delicious, lull-flavored, and will contain all the nourishment that was in it before it was cooked.

In a British blue book recently pub- lished some correspondence of Sir Garnet, Wolseley appears in which mention is made of a singular incident. He was marching back from Secocoeni’s town to Pretoria ' with a small escort. in charge of the chief and his family as prisoners, when he met in a wild part of the country three waggons loaded with gin and'other spirits, intended. for sale among the troops inn-out~ Feeling that this liquor would completely demora. lize the men, whose h' h rates of pay as ‘volunteers would enab e them toind freely in drink at whatever price. andas 0 could neither spare men to conduct the waggons backto Pretoria nor take them with him, he ordered the liquor to be destroyed. 0n returning to Pretoria Sir Ghrnét consulted with the attorney- geueral, who informed him that he had made himseli liable for the value of the liquor destroyed. Sir Garnet Wolseley wmpromised the matter for 82,000 of our money and reported what he had done to the Secretary of War, who accepted the liability and entered the item among the miscellaneous charges arising out of the Secocoeni war. Thus the coutents of 1,083 bottles and 120 gallons of spirits were poured out on the ground, and firebably a teat disaster and disgrace, we as m' ht ave belallen a body of intoxicated sol era, was obviated. A correspondent writes to the “ British ‘ Medical Journal”: “ There are at prev" sent living on the station of Mr. 0511.

There was another sister, similarly hairless, but she died a few years ago. These blacks were brought in the same hairless state to the above station when youn . and are not able to 've any account of eir parents or tri ; t I am informed by Mr. Kirk the. intelligent v blacks about his station state that there is a tribe of hairless blacks. similar to these. living on acreek named the Wallam, ei ty miles west of ‘ he Balonne River, and a ut five hundred miles west of Brisbane ; and. that these people came from that tribe.‘ Mr. Kirk has not seen them, but it is quite possible that such a tribe might exist com- paratively unnoticed. as these blacks are very sensitive concerning their hairless condition, and always keep their heads and bodies covered. The two survivors bn Mr. Kirk’s station were seen and hotepaphed by: Baron Maclesy, the Bus an explorer in September last, who. havin heard oi their existence, travelled a long stance to see and was much interested in them.

If, as the blacks assert, there is a tribe of such hair- less people, they are eat natural curiosi- , ties ; and more especially when taking into , consideration the fact that the Australian aboriginals are naturally a very hairy race of people."
