OUR LONDON LETTER.
OUR LONDON LETTER. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Toulon, in whose harbour the explosion on the French battleship took place, has had an eventful experience of naval warfare. It is a melancholy coincidence that it is exactly 200 years since it was bombarded by the allies by land and sea, and the town reduced to ruins, while several ships were burnt. Nearly a century later, the British Admiral, Lord Hood, took both town and shipping as part of an attempt to restore the French Constitution of 1789. The town has »seen many other vicissitudee. In an engagement off this port in 1744 fell the bravo Captain Cornewall. In the cholera epidemic of twenty-three years ago nearly 900 deaths were registered at Toulon in four months, while the number for all France exceeded 5,000. Shall we make a holocaust of maidens, wives, and mothers on the brazen altar of party?" asks Miss Marie Corelli. The House of Commons is now living with the fear of March 20th before its eyes. Mrs. Pankhurst said that on that day another "convention" will be held at Caxton Hall, and she urged all women who sympathise with the movement to go to the convention more determined to get results even than last time." A good many people in the House am dissatisfied that the conclusion of the debate was indefinite. A good deal of talk was created by the Pre- mier's intervention. Friends of the Suffra- gettes were sanguine that as he had, on the spur of the moment, as it seemed, extended the provisions of the Workmen's Compensa- tion Bill to domestic servants, he would be sympathetic to the latest proposal. He said be did not look with favour on the terms of the measure, with its restricted enfranchise- ment, leaving out. as it would, most of the working-women. Mrs. Humphrey Ward, another novelist, who has done a good deal of work on public bodies, expresses with the greatest frankness her objection to women ac- cepting franchise responsibilities in political elections. The Moderates secured neither Lord Cur- zon, Lord Cawdor, nor Lord Milner for Chairman of the new L.C.C. Mr. H. Percy Harris, who will now direct it, is a Councillor who helped to found the London Municipal Society. He has been leader of the party and a Deputy-Chairman of the Council. The Vice-Chairman, Mr. Stuart Sankey. has been Recorder of Faversham and Chairman of the Parks Committee. Of the new Aldermen, Mr. W. Hayes Fisher was formerly Financial Secretary to the Treasury; Lord Michelham of Hellingly is the senior partner in a bank- ing firm; Mr. St. John Brodrick was Secre- tary for War and Secretary for India; Mr. Anstruther was a Lord of the Treasury under the late Government, and the British repre- sentative on the Council of the Suez Canal; and Sir Vincent Caillard is also an eminent financier. But the most interesting appoint- ment is that of a Labour Alderman. No Labour Member has yet sat in the House of Commons on the Conservative side, but this considering the importance of the L.C.C.^ may almost be said to be the next step to it. The Trinity Brethren are interesting enough this week to be worth a paragraph here. The Prince of Wales, as Master of tha Trinity House, presided at the special Court when Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman was elected an Elder Brother of the Corporation in the vacancy caused by the death of the Viscount Goschen, and this week the Lord Mayor entertains at luncheon the Prince of Wales and the Elder Brethren. The Trinity Brethren are one of the most interesting bodies that London or England possesses. It seems to have sprung from an old guild, whose objects were religious and philan- thropic, dating, it is said, from King day. la Henry VIII. 's day it was incorporated as the "Brotherhood of the Most Glorious and Uadivided Trinity," and given power "to make laws for the relief, increase, and aug- mentation of the shipping of this our realm of England." The little ships which troubled the Armada were "guided and directed by the Guild of Mariners from Trinity House." In Elizabeth's time the Corporation was charged with the conduction of the Queen's Majesties Navye Royall," and at the begin- ning of the seventeenth century was occupied with two questions of first-rate importance— the suppression of piracy and the establish- ment of lighthouses. With the latter matter the Brethren have been occupied ever since. There is a sense in which the experiment of old-age pensions may be made in this coun- try. The Government could hardly begin with a universal scheme. They could, how- ever, start nearer the present system of out- door relief. Poor Law reform is one of the duties which lie before a Liberal Administra- tion. This would be the most important part of such a development. Let anybody itnagino the case of a clerk or artisan who found him- self, of a sudden, with £200 in his possession and out at interest bringing him in £6 a-year. The addition and the comparative certainty of this income would help him a comfort- ably to face the prospect of future in every day that dawned. Yet that is no more than half-a-crown a-week. Now let us apply the illustration and see how it will work out. Without "broadening the basis of taxation," Mr. Asquith may have a surplus of anything up to £10,000.000 in a few weeks. He could give all the eligible old people over sixty-five half-a-crown a week. as a pension by right and no questions asked, for, say, £1,500.000. Why should it not be done? It would have nothing to do with Poor Law relief. And Mr. Asquith, apparently, is going to do it. It is suggested that he will give 5s. and not 2s. 6d. This estimate needs explaining in one or two particulars. There are 2.000,000 people i.n the United Kingdom over sixty-five years of age. The number can be got down to 650,000-though I do not think so big a reduction should ever be made—by leaving out those who are in no need. the criminal, and those who have for many years lived abroad. The cost of giving 600,000 5s. a-week would be £3,000.000. But it would cost no more than £10,000.000 to give 5s. a-week to everybody over sixty-five. Or there is another way of going to work. The Government could give everybody over seventy-five a 5s. pension next year (600,000, cost, £ 3,000,000); the year after everybody over seventy (1,200,000, cost, £ 6,000,000); and in 1910 everybody over sixty- five (total, without deductions, 2,000,000; cost, as I have said, £10,000 ,000). Is it worth while making the attempt? Mr. W. H. Lever has introduced a bill into Parliament seeking to do this very thing. Between Mr. Lever and Mr. Asquith something ought to be done. The death of Dr. Dowie, who called him- self the re-incarnation of Elijah, recalls the hostile receptions he received on the last oc- casions on which he visited London. He said things which were held to be disrespectful of the King. and Londoners broke up his meet- ings. Students from St. Bartholomew's shewed an active violence before which he beat a prompt retreat. People neither in this country nor in America appreciated a. prophet who, contrary to the traditional sim- plicity of the kind, became a millionaire, and, when he came to London, occupied expensive rooms at the Cecil. He is said to have died in delirium. Family dissensions added to his decline in power. He disowned his father because he addressed him as son, not as saint or prophet. Zion City became involved in financial difficulties, and Dowie had to ask his followers to pay off debts amounting to £150,000. One of his deacons charged him with a fraud of £37,000. Last year he was deposed from the leadership, and his wife and son refused to have anything more to do with him. The process continues of transferring Lon- don churches from the centre, where, with the migration of population, they are less needed than ever, to the suburbs, where they are badly wanted. London needs forty new churches in new districts. In the City there are many churches which are wealthy but de- serted. The latest church to contribute to the spiritual wants of outer London is St. Peter- le-Poer, in Old Broad-street. Another City church which will be demolished and its en- dowment used where it will be more useful is St. Alpkage. London-wall. An effort will be made to leave the old tower standing. It is all that is left of the Elsing Spital, an institu- tion which was founded in 1329 for the relief of the blind, and wna incorporated in the Dreeeat church.

At the inquest at St. George's Retreat, Bur- gess-hill, a private Roman Catholic institution for insane, on an inmate who hanjred herself with a stocking, the coroner said that in this particular case there had been insufficient observation. There was a meeting of fish traders in Billings- gate Market, on Tuesday, at which a resolution was passed protesting against the suggested re- moval of the market to Shadwell.

--> FI;; 1 P BLiOvViN Lx*. TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE. ADMIRAL MANCEEON WOUNDED. A terrible explosion took place on Tuesday in the magazine of the battleship. Jéna., which lying in the Missiessy Dock at Toulon. The Jena is a triple-screw battleship of 12,052 tons, built at Brest in 1898. She carries four 12-in. and fifty other guns, and four torpedo tubes, and has a speed of 18'2 knots. She flew the flag of Rear-Admiral Mancoron, commanding the Second Division of the Mediterranean Squadron, and had a complement of 698 men. The first explosion occurred in the magazine of the after 12-in. guns, and the stern of the Jena was blown out. Some of the officers and crew were able to save themselves. Rescue par- ties worked under great difficulties, as fresh explosions were expected from minute to minute. Several of the workshops in the dock- yard caught fire from the burning debris which fell on the roofs. A quartermaster named Giudi- celli, who had a remarkable escape, in describing the disaster said that there were a large number of bluejackets in the gun-room, where Sub- Lieutenant Carlini was giving an historical lecture on Henri IV. Suddenly an explosion aft shook the ship. Most of the men who were attending the lecture were able to save them- selves by rushing forward and crossing over the gangways on to the edge of the basin. A VERITABLE BOMBARDMENT. Several explosions took place at intervals of a quarter of an hour. All the windows of the dock- yard buildings in the vicinity of the Missiessy Dock were shattered. On each explosion the debris was hurled a distance of more than 500 yards. An eyewitness stated that a fragment of a shell weighing nearly 231b. burst within four yards of him as he was proceeding to the spot, and when he was 400 yards away from the Jena. The explosion caused a wild scene of excitement in'the dockyard. The workmen on their way to work, hearing the report, rushed towards the Missiessy Dock, from which columns of smoke were rising. First of all nobody knew exactly what had happened, and when the news spread that the Jena had blown up, the officials in charge of the workmen ordered everyone to leave the arsenal, and a general sauve qui peut ensued. INDESCRIBABLE PANIC. Admiral Manceron's maitre d'hotel, who WM injured in the forehead by breaking glass, gave the following account of the disaster: "I was in the dining-saloon pursuing my usual occupa- tions at about half-past one, when suddenly there was a formidable explosion in the maga- zine under the Admiral's dining-saloon. The glass flew in splinters and fire broke out every- where. I was wou!1<!cd in the forehead, blinded by the blood which pourod from my wounds, and suffocated by the smoke, but I did not lose courage. I rushed to the Admiral's cabin, where cofYee had just been served, and warned him of the danger. After that I do not know what happened. I believe I went forward. I cannot remember clearly, but I can state that the Admiral was injured. The panic on board was indescribable. The crew had jumped over- board or been thrown out by the force of the explosion, and it is quite possible that those who did not have their necks broken by the fall were asphyxiated by the smoke." SOME OF THE VICTIMS. It is stated that among the killed are Captain Adigard, commanding the Jena, and Com- mander Vertier. Captain Adigard was born in 1853, and was promoted captain in April, 1902. He was an officer of the Legion of Honour. Commander Vertier. Chief of Staff of the Second Division of the Mediterranean Squadron, was surprised in his cabin, close to the after turret, when the first explosion occurred. He attempted to escape, but unfortunately the door- way of his cabin was blocked with debris. When an entrance into the cabin was forced, Com- mander Vertier's charred body was found on the floor. THE CASUALTIES. It is believed that about fifty were killed and about 100 injured. These figures, however, says a Toulon correspondent, are not official, and they may possibly be exceeded. Sub-Lieutenant Rousse has been killed. Admiral Manceron, Sub-Lieutenant de Boissondin. and Midshipman Nilboeuf have been injured. The bodies of two unidentified men, one of them in the uniform of a naval writer, have been conveyed to the main hospital. The ships in the harbour and roade a.re undamaged. Admiral Bienaime expressed the opinion that the explosion was due to the spontaneous com- bustion of ammunition, which is liable to dis- integration and to chemical changes, and re- quires frequent supervision. The Jena must have been carrying about twenty-five tons of explosives. PROCESSION OF DEAD. A telegram from Toulon to a Paris paper says: "The explosion occurred at 1.35. Three workshops at tho arsenal, in which torpedoes, machines, and pumps respectively were made were shattered. The roofs were entirely carried away. The Jena, still burning, settled down in the basin at half-past two. One of the injured, a petty officer, whose face, hair, and beard wore badly burnt, and whose clothes were in shreds, had a wonderful escape. He related that he felt himself lifted up by the explosion, and a few seconds afterwards found himself on the quay. All the ambulances of the Squadron have been mobilised. The principal naval hospital has sent all its doctors and nurses to the spot. There is a constant procession of dead and injured from the battleship. The first magazine which exploded was that containing 305 millimetre shells. Lieutenant Thiercelin, the gunnery lieutenant of the Jena, who is suffering from several wounds, said, in the course of an interview, that he feared the loss of life among the crew was very great. Ho believed that the fumes given off by the "B" powder poisoned the atmo- sphere, and that the greater part, of the victims died of asphyxiation.
FLYING PROJECTILES.
FLYING PROJECTILES. The following vivid account of the disaster has been sent by the correspondent of the Paris Journal: "When I arrived the Jena was a mass of red-hot. metal, over which hung a slowly moving canopy of black and white and yellow smoke—black from the burning coal, white from the wood, and yellow from the ex- plosives. Explosions occurred at irregular inter- vals, hurling projectiles and heavy pieces of metal as far as 200 yards away. One of them in falling killed a boy two years old named Lucien Ambrosini. and Lieutenant Renaud. who was on the Bouvet in the next dock. had his left arm taken off. A panic prevailed, and men and women fought to get away to safety. Attempts to battle with the flames were ineffective during the time of confusion which succeeded the first explosion. It was half-an-hour before the keys of the gates could be found and water let into the dock to flood the burning ship. Meanwhile, men were falling or being thrown off the ship into the dock, all half-suffocated and many badly injured, and soon there was an endless defile of victims of the disaster, some on stretchers, and others walking by the aid of the rescuers. They were scorched and bleeding; their hair was burnt, and their facee blackened. As to the origin of the disaster, nothing is yet really known. The first explosion, as I have said, occurred aft, and it is suggested that the explosion of the compressed air chamber of a torpedo detonated the powder in an ad- joining magazine." Another supposition is that in some way or other the catastrophe was caused by a short cir- cuit, and a third theory is that a shell waa dropped by the men engaged in the store room, whilst a fourth suggestion is that the explosion arose through chemical changes in the explosives used in the shells.
THE DREADNOUGHT TRIALS.
THE DREADNOUGHT TRIALS. REPORTED DEFECT. A Naval correspondent informs the Daily fhronicle that the official accounts of the be- haviour of the Dreadnought at sea are not altogether borne out by private letters written on board. The engines and turbines worked admirably during the long distance trial to Trinidad, but the heat generated in the engine- room ia said to have surpassed the experience of anyone ou board. Doubtless, some method of reducing the temperature below can be devised. The sufferings of the engiiv^room stoff, espe- cially in the tropics, are <i i.iiltd as severe.

-----"-- ------DOMINION COURT-MARTIAL.
DOMINION COURT-MARTIAL. FINDING AND SENTENCE. The cetirt-martial a.t Chatham for the trial of Captain Charles Bdward Kingsmill, Navigating Lieutenant Basil S. Noake, and Lieutenant Frederic W. Clarkson, on a charge of negli- gently, or by default, suffering H.M.S. Domi- nion to be stranded in the River St. Lawrence, was concluded on Tuesday. Commander Massey Dawson, cross-examined on behalf of Captain Kingsmill, said that he reckoned the run of the tide at half a knot. Lieutenant Bernard K. Boase said that the captain was not on deck at 8.42, but he came on deck when the ship grounded. So far as the witness could remem- ber, the Dominion was on an even keel between 6.45 and 8.42. The Court impressed on the wit- ness the importance of this point. He replied that he could not say for certain, but he noticed no list one way or the other. Commander Daw- son said he examined the supposed Souris light with glasses. As far as he could remember, the navigating officer tool: the cross-bearings at 8.12 p.m. That officer was not on deck at eight o'clock, but he was there at 8-15. Mr. Spurgeon, a midshipman, said that he did not see the captain 011 the bridgo between eight o'clock and the time that, 0 the ship grounded. He generally wrote up the log, but did not do so on this occasion, because the officer of the watch wrote it up afterwards. In his defence Captain Kingsmill said that although he admitted that if the course had "been shaped half a mile further from Souris Point the Dominion would not have grounded, under the conditions prevailing at the time the course set appeared to be a safe one. The sug- gestion that no allowance had been made for the indraught into Cascapedia Bay was incor- rect. As a fact an allowance of two miles waa made. In the result the Court found that the charge against Captain Kingsmill and Lieutenant Strat- ford Noake, that they did. by default, suffer the Dominion to be stranded, was proved. The charge in the case of Lieutenant Clarkson waa not proved, and he was acquitted. Captain Kingsmill and Lieutenant Noake were adjudged to be severely reprimanded.
CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE.
CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE. The annual meeting of the Associated Cham- bers of Commerce was opened on Tuesdav at tho Hotel Metropole, London. Sir W. Holland, M.P., presided, and in his address reviewed the trade conditions of the country, which he con- sidered to be, on the whole, very satisfactory. Resolutions were adopted in reference to the fre- quent fluctuations in the Bank rate, and dealing with several other subjects. Lord Brassey was elected president, and Messrs. Bona.r Law, M.P., and H. Mitchell vice-presidents, of the associa- tion for the ensuing year.
THE LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL.
THE LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL. A full meeting of the Municipal Reform party was held on Tuesday at the Council Hall, Spring- gardens. Mr. R. A. Robinson presided. The proceedings were private, but at the close Mr. Robinson stated that it was proposed to offer to the Progressives two seats as aldermen, and the deputy-chairmanship of the Council. It is in- tended to institute, at the earliest opportunity, a thorough examination of the affairs of the Coun- cil, by outside accountants if nece.^sar.v; but Mr. Robinson said that the greatest confidence waa felt in the whole of the staff.
NEW HIGH COURT JUDGE.
NEW HIGH COURT JUDGE. The King has been pleased to appoint Mr. Willi;n Pickford, K.C., to be a Judge of the High Court, King's Bench Division, in the place of Mr. Justice Kennedy, appointed Lord Justice of Appeal. Mr. Justice Pickford is the second son of Mr. T. E. Pickford, of Manchester, and is in his fifty-eighth year. After being called to the Bar at the Inner Temple in 1874 he practised for some years in Liverpool before coming to Lon- don. He was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1893, and was leader of the Northern Circuit for some years, but he has for some time past ceased to go on circuit owing to his increasing business in London, more particularly in Admi- ralty and commercial cases. Mr. Pickford was Recorder of Liverpool since 1904. before which he was Recorder of Oldham. The new Judge will replace Lord Justice Kennedy at the Leeds Assizes on the North-Eastern Circuit, where the business will begin on Friday next. He went as a. Commissioner of Assize on the same circuit at the last summer assizes there.
LEITRIM'S CHAIN OF TERRORISM.
LEITRIM'S CHAIN OF TERRORISM. Addressing the grand jury at the opening of Leitrim Assizes, Mr. Justice Kenny said there was an increase in the number of intimidation cases. There were three families who were wholly boycotted and received police protection, and there were two other families receiving police protection. One family had to have policemen quartered in their houses. The spirit of lawlessness developed, and postmen had been twice set upon and robbed of mails and no one had been made amenable. Such a state of things justified the observations made by the judge at the laat Assizes who said the chain of terrorism W8B complete. No one could be prosecuted, no witneæ would give evidence, and no jury would convict.
LIBEL APPEAL ALLOWED.
LIBEL APPEAL ALLOWED. In the Court of Appeal on Tuesday, before Lords Justices Cozens-Hardy, Moulton, and Buckley, an appeal was heard of the Boot and Shoe Manufacturers' Association and Leather Trades Protection Society and their secretary against the verdict of a jury and the judgment of Mr. Justice Grantham in an act-ion for libel brought against the appellants by one Jones, a boot and shoe dealer, in respect of statements made by the defendant association as to the credit and position of the plaintiff and respond- ent. The jury had found for the plaintiff, with £1,000 damages; but their Lordships, holding that there was no evidence of express malice, al- lowed the appeal, and ordered judgment to be entered for the appellants, with costs in that Court and below.
DAMAGES FOR INJURIES.
DAMAGES FOR INJURIES. In the King's Bench Division on Tuesday, be- fore the Lord Chief Justice and a special jury, an action was tried, Wood v. the London Road Car Company," in which the plaintiff, a cab-driver, sought to recover damages for in- juries sustained in consequence of a collision be- tween his cab and one of the defendants' motor omnibuses. The jury found for the plaintiff, with JE500 damages, for which judgment was given, a stay of execution being refused.
FRENCH FISHING PIRATES.
FRENCH FISHING PIRATES. The Plymouth fishing boat Shamrock had her nets cut iy by a French trawler twelve miles off the on Sunday night. The weather was fine and cvear, and the Shamrock shewed a flare for more than half-an-hour. The name or num- ber of the French boat could not be distinguished.
WAGES OF DECEASED SEAMEN.
WAGES OF DECEASED SEAMEN. During the year ending March 31st, 1906, the Board of Trade received £14.905 6s. 4d. from masters of vessels, collectors of Customs in the Colonies, and British Consuls abroad for wages and effects of 2,295 deceased seamen. To the representatives of deceased seamen £12,606 8s. 4d. was paid, and the amount unclaimed, together with interest thereon, which was surrendered as an appropriation in aid, amounted to £2,735 6s. 5d.
TEACHERS' TRADING PRIVILEGES.
TEACHERS' TRADING PRIVILEGES. The National Union of Teachers, who l ave a large branch in Birmingham, have approached tradespeople with a view to special discounts. Some of the largest firms dealing in necessaries have been offered exclusive trading by the teachers on the understanding that special dis- counts of 5 per cent. would be allowed. In every instance where the offer has been made it has been accepted. It is said the system has met with considerable success in London, and is likely to be extended to other large provincial centres.
THE ESPERANTO CONGRESS.
THE ESPERANTO CONGRESS. Cambridge is to be the venue of the third Esperanto Congress, to be held from August 10th to 17th. Some 3,000 congressists from all parts of Europe a.nd America will be present. Tho organisers in Cambridge are receiving cor- dial support, and many public buildings and University halls will be placed at the disposal of the visitors. Among the eminent men to be present are Dr. Ostwald, of Leipsic, and Mgr. Giambene, of Rome. A translation of Box and Cox" will be presented to give foreigners aa idea of English farce.

While cleaning a grate Margaret W. Dal- erarno, cook in the service of the Bishop of Ken- iington, accidentally set her dross on fire. She expired in hospital. The Bishop attended the in- quest on Tuesday, and expressed deep sympathy with the relatives. At the West Bromwich inquest on Arthur Clift and John Mound, who succumbed in an at- tempt to rescue two men overcome by fumes at some chemical works, the jury added to their verdict a recognition of the hefCtMm shewn by deceased.

HINTS FOR THE II.OME.
HINTS FOR THE II.OME. BUTTERMILK AS AN INFANT FOOD. Dr. Ramsey has been following a German <ead, and experimenting with buttermilk as att- infant's food. He dilutes it according to Conditions present in a. giv-ui case. The length 5f time children may be kept on buttermilk varies. In two cases it was given for seven months, each case doing badly on anv attempt to return to on! modified milk.' Both of theso ca-^s are i o the average in develop- ment. Although ,r>y have been watched care- fully no symptoms of rickets or other nutritional disturbance have been noted. In using butter- milk, It is most important, says Scicnce Siftings, that it should be fresh. As soon as the butter- milk is secured, if it is boiled and placed on ice it may be kept for two days. Buttermilk is not only of use in the treatment of sick children, but it is an excellent food for well babies. A 'babv may be taken when milk disagrees and placed on buttermilk, when it will cam in weight from the first day. The lactic acid in buttermilk has the power to destroy gorms. The consumption germ will not live two days in buttermilk. CARE OF THE PIANO. A piano is as sensitive to cold and heat as an invalid, so it must not be put too near a fire, or the wood is drawn by the heat. Never leave it near an open window if it is raining, or this will rust the wires and mould the inside. Such an in- strument should not h0 put too close to a wall, or the sound will be deadened, and it should be kept closed when not in use. The keys should be dusted daily with an old silk handkerchief. If they become yellow from nf gleet, rub them with lemon-juice and a little whiting. Do not let the dust fall between the keys. A HAPPY BEDTIME. Too much etress cannot be laid on having the little ones go to bed happy. Whatever may have been done in the day, or if there is some inevit- able disappointment or grief ahead, large or amall. say nothing about it at night. Except for some strong reason, let a mother put a child to bed herself; let the evening- prayer be said at her side; let the hour be associated with story or song or loving, confiding talk. For sanitary reasons, it is very important that bed- time should be happy, and the night's rest per- fect-never delayed or broken by childish grief or fear. Important, too, for mental vigour, and most of all, for the soul's life. The good-night kiss should never be omitted. There are times when disobedience or deceit has occurred, that, in the sweet and affectionate evening talk. the child can be imperceptibly led to confide to the mother the whole story. This opportunity is a valuable one, and should never be overlooked. But anything of the nature of punishment has no rightful place here. MEAL TIMES Doctors have told us over and over again of the beneficial results arising from a meal eaten with a contented frame of mind and with cheer- ful surroundings, but sad to say. there are many households where each meal is a constant scene of bickering, nagging, and fault-finding. If any trivial thing has been done wrong, or any duty omitted, wait until dinner or tea is over before you scold, blame, or reprimand. More indiges- tion, nervousness, and other derangements are caused by the too common fault of uncomfort- able meal-times than many people would sup- pose. and it is our positive duty to make those hours of the day cheerful and agreeable. TREATMENT OF RED NOSES. A red nose generally indicates that the general state of health is perturbed, and needs setting in order before local treatment is of much, if any, good, says" 1\1. H. H." in the World and His Wife. Constipation, indigestion, bad cir- culation, are all common causes of this affliction. Cure the first complaint, and the second and third will speedily yield to treatment. Eat plenty of light, nourishing food, take plenty of exercise, sleep in a well-ventilated room, and avoid pressure or constriction anywhere and everywhere—not only at the waist. Wear thick, warm stockings, änd fairly thick waterproof shoes. As to the nose itself, bathe it last thing at night with very hot water for ten minutes; follow this with cold, and finally anoint the whole surface with a thick layer of calamine lotion. Remove this in the morning with cold cream; wash in the ordinary way, and protect the nose with a very thin layer of the lotion before going out in the air. FAULT FINDING. It is at times necessary to censure and punish; but very much more may be done by encourag- ing children when they do well. Be therefore, more careful to express your approbation of good conduct than your disapprobation of bad. Nothing can more discourage a child than a spirit of incessant fault finding. There are two great motives influencing human actions—hope and fear. But who would not prefer to have her child influenced to good conduct by a desire of pleasing rather than by the fear of offending? If a mother never expresses her gratification when her children do well, and is always censur- ing them when she sees anything amiss, they are discouraged and unhappy; their dispositions become hardened and soured by this ceaseless fretting. AT THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S. Nowadays a photograph must not only be a good likeness, but it must be a picture also. In order to secure satisfactory results there are a few don'ts which the sitter should bear in mind. Dcn't smile, unless you are one of those per- sons who always wear a smile. Don't wear your hat. unless your picture is to be "just for the time." Don't wear satin or silk. It comes out badly with its gloss and glimmer. Velvet, wool, or lace are the materials that take best. Don't arrange your hair too elaborately. A soft, simple style will look much better in a. photograph. Don't forget that grey produces as white, an 3 yellow, and tan like black. Brushes and brooms ought to be washed occa- sionally with two tablespoonfuls of household ammonia added to half a gallon of water. The bristles must be left to stand in this for half-an- hour, then be rinsed thoroughly and the brushes be hung in a cool place to dry. A new toothbrush should be soaked in cold water for some hours before it is used, 8.8 this will prevent the hairs coming out. Filling Lamps.—Never fill a lamp quite full. A lamp standing in a warm room, filled full, will run over through the expansion of the oil when taken where it is warm. NICE DISHES. ANCHOVY EGGs. Boil half-a-dozen eggs hard. Slice a carrot and half an onion, add a bunch of herbs, and stew gently 111 half-a-pint of milk and a gill of water for twenty minutes. Strain, thicken the milk with a piece of butter rolled in flour, and add a seasoning of pepper and salt. Shell the eggs, cut them into thick slices, and arrange them in a buttered fireproof dish, and place in an oven. Then pour most of the sauce round the eggs, mix some anchovy sauce with the remainder, and pour into the centre. Sprinkle with minced parsley, and serve at once. SMOKED SALMON OMELET.—Flake some smoked salmon, melt a little butter in a saucepan, stir in the fish, a seasoning of pepper and salt, a little thick white sauce, and, if possible, a spoon- ful of double cream. Allow all to simmer slowly at the side of the fire. In the meantime boat four eggs to a froth, and add salt and pepper. and a teaspoonful of milk. Melt a little butter in a frving-pan, pour in the mixture, and when set loosen the edges. Lay the fish in the centre of the omelet, fold over, and serve. STCJFFED HEEKRNGS.—Wash and scale six fresh herrings. Remove the heads and fins, and split them from the top to the tails, cleaning the in- sides thoroughly. Remove the bones and fill the cavities with a farce of breadcrumbs, butter, herbs, or minced parsley, salt, and pepper, and moisten with milk. Then roll up each fish, and fasten with a small wooden skewer. Dip the rolls in beaten egg, then in fine breadcrumbs, and fry in deep fat. When nicely browned, drain and serve at once.

Tempestuous weather was raging in the Norl-h Sea on Saturday and Sunday, and several casual- ties are reported by vessels reaching Hull and Grimshy. On the Yorkshire coast a "blizzard" raged on Saturday morning. By the crashing of the funnels of a large ateamer into a bridge at Sunderland on Satur- day, a panic was caused, and for a few moments, there were fears for the safety of the bridge.
