BISHOP AND CANON. A remarkable situation has arisen between 4* ,m Hensl<y Hen son, who is rector of St. -Margaret's and Canon of Westminster, and Dr. '€rOr«. Bishop of Birmingham, owing to the Action. of the Bishop in inhibiting Canon Henson preaching in a Nonconformist church in his diocese. Th-e institution is the Digbeth Institute, whiefo is connected with the Carr's-lane Congre- nai Chapel, Birmingham, of which the J. H. Jowett, President-elect of the Free ^nnircli Council, is pastor. Canon Henson at the anniversary services there in j^nee of the inhibition issued by the Bishop, J» Goye ^ias explftined that he acted re- in issuing the inhibition against Canon JKftaaon, who is his friend, but he felt himself gjWipelled to do so by the protest of the vicar of ^• Gabriel's, in whose parish the institute is "■•Jtttated. JS\JoW€tt says that other clergy of the Es- d Church have associated themselves ifuj' ^!e work of the institute, and he deplores ft^tion of the Bishop, which, he declares, can \T tead to further divisions.

INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL. I ENGLAND BEATS SCOTLAND. Ater a magnificent match England beat Scotland at "Soccer" football at the Crystal Palace on Saturday by two goals to nil, and so won the International Championship with- out having a single goal scored against them in their three matches. b The Prince of Wales was an interested spectator of the match. During the interval Stark and Crompton, the respective captains, were .presented to the Prince. Scotland, as usual, wore Lord Rosebery's racing colours, rose and primrose hoops, and England played in white shirts and blue knickers. The teams played as selected, with the notable exception that Vivian Woodward could not turn out, being unwell. He was re- placed by Fleming, of Swindon. England de- rived some benefit from winning the toss, Scotland having to face the sun, and the game was won in the first quarter of an hour, during which England obtained the two goals. Probably the rather heavy turf had some effect on the Scottish team, wnose forwards never showed their best pace. Of even more consequence was the comparative poorness of the Scotch defence. Cameron and Watson, the full backs, began badly, and were often outpaced. PROFESSIONAL LEAGUES. Newcastle United only drew its match with Notts Forest; but its position at the head of the clubs is virtually assured; the side has five matches to play, and three points out of (this possible ten will give to it the Champion- ship. The course of Saturday's games went to strengthen Newcastle's lead, for Everton was again beaten, and the other clubs are too far down in the list to in any way affect the question of the Championship. In the fight against relegation Leicester Fosse cannot well escape; Bradford City is not in quite such a bad way, but Chelsea, Bury, and Woolwich Arsenal ought to see that Bradford is not able to draw them into the danger zone. For promotion honours it is still a fine struggle amongst West Brom- wich, Bolton Wanderers, and Tottenham Hotspur. All three clubs won on Saturday; but the Albion for the moment holds the best record. In the Southern League Northampton was beaten, though its position at the head of the clubs is almost unassailable. AMATEUR GAMES. The New Crusaders beat the Casuals by five goals to one at Ipswich on Saturday in the A.F.A. Cup final. At the Spotted Dog ground Romford won the West Ham Charity Cup by four goals to Leytonstone's one. The winners most marked superiority was for- ward, much of the line's work being really excellent.

EXCITING FIRE SCENES. Exciting rescue incidents were witnessed in connection with a fire which occurred on Saturday morning at a newsagent's shop in South Lambeth-road, London, occupied by Mr. A. S. Wilson. In the dwelling-rooms above were Mrs. Gertrude Rourke, aged thirty-one, her four children, and a young friend named Beatrice Duncan. The latter carried two of the children into the street, and the other occupants were rescued by ladders, but all were more or less seriously burned. The injured were conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital. The large and newly-built premises in Wells-street, Oxford-street, London, of Messrs. T. and W. Ide, builders' merchants, dealing specially in oils and colours and having a very large stock of highly inflam- mable material, including naphtha, were the scene of a serious fire about ten o'clock on Sunday night. About twenty-five engines were speedily on the spot, and early in the work of extin- guishing the flames a fireman on a motor escape fell and broke his leg. The work of the firemen was impeded by reason of the large amount of glass inside, but after about an hour's hard work the fire was got under. The damage, which is covered by insurance, is estimated at about Eio,ooo.

TERRITORIAL'S TRAGIC DEATH. Arthur Daniels, 22, a member of the Rugby y Battery of the Fourth (South Midland) How- itzer Brigade, met with a tragic death on Saturday. The Battery had been on a route march, j and Daniels was returning home, riding bare- back. When passing through a crowded market place, he appeared to, touch the horse with his spurs, and it gave a sudden plunge, causing him to fall off on to his head. He got up, and seemed able to walk, but was taken home in a cab, and died shortly afterwards.

BOY'S 6,000 MILES TRIP. Francis Appleyard, a boy of ten, landed from the liner Empress of Britain at Liver- pool on Saturday, having travelled alone for 6,000 miles from his home at Vancouver to see an aunt at Manchester. The little fellow, who appeared none the worse for his journey, did not appear to think he had done anything extraordinary in coming so far alone, and he declared that he had "a real good time."

FIRE ENGINE RUNS AWAY. The motor fire-engine from the Holloway station, while ascending Hazellville-hill, a 'very steep gradient connecting Hornsey Rise with Highgate, suddenly commenced to run backwards down the hill, and, gaining speed, collided with a. lamp-post. It had subse- quently to be conveyed to headquarters on a 1 trolley. Mr. E. Gosling, superintendent of the Clerkenwe'll district, jumped from the engine and was injured.

MOTOR SCOUT FINED. One of the rules of scouting is that you v must not be caught by the enemy. Frederick Betts, a motor scout, who scouted on the Portsmouth Road at Witley neglected this rule. He warned motorists of a police trap, and worked so well-for a time-that the police had to move their trap three times. In the end, however, a charge of obstruction was preferr.ed agairst him, and at Guildford on Saturday he was fined £ 5 and costs.

Beat up the whole of a fresh egg in a basin, and then pour boiling tea over it gradually to prevent its curdling. The mixture closely I resembles rich cream. When making buttonholes in garments, such as coats, children's knickers, or anything intended for strong wear, first sew a piece of j very thin string round the edge, of the button- hole then work over this in the usual way. ¡ The buttonhole will look much nicer and I wear twice as long. The chief cause of the breaking of the gas mantles is dust. After the light is turned out, place the lid of a polishing paste, or any similar tin, on the top of the glass chimney to exclude dust. Try this when your light is out of use, and you will find one mantle will last twice as long as if left unprotected as before. Rub the soiled parts of the sink with a rag dipped in paraffin, and then wash the sink with hot soda water. If the smell of paraffin is objected to, the sink can be cleaned by sprinkling soda on it and pouring boiling water over the soda, which will loosen the grease so that it can be easily removed with paper. People in general seem ignorant of the very useful qualities of common household salt. It has a wonderfully cleansing effect. Sprinkle your carpet profusely with powdered salt which is quite dry, and then brush thoroughly out. You will be surprised how it will brighten up the colour. One of the nicest contrivances for keeping knives, forks, and tablespoons is a pocket tacked on the pantry door. Make it of American cloth and line it with a green baise; stitching small divisions to fit each article. The baize will absorb all the moisture that may remain on the spoons and knives, and it will keep them in good condition. LYING DOWN TO REST. Many people have never thought why. it is that the most perfect rest is secured in a horizontal position. The great and never- resting muscle of the heart is really a force pump. It draws from every portion of the body, and sends it under pressure back to the brain, the remote finger tips, and the very toes themselves. The heart muscle be- comes tired in its unceasing effort to pump the blood from the feet to the head while in an upright position. That is why, when fainting occurs, owing to the absence of a sufficient quantity of blood in the head, if the patient is laid on the floor with the head low, a quick return to consciousness follows, because the blood at once seeks the brain. CHILDREN AND BOOKS. Children should be taught how best to take care of books, and ought never to be per- mitted to throw or bang them about or tear them in pieces. They should be encouraged to accumulate volumes, and to do this must have a place in which to keep them. Good, plain bookshelves cost but little, and every child should have a set. In one well-ordered household there are five youngsters, between the ages of five and fifteen years. Each child has a bookcase, and each member is ex- pected to take care of his or her own posses- sions, to be responsible for them, and to exer- cise absolute control and ownership over them. WATER AS A NERVE FOOD If nervous women would only drink more water they would not be so nervous. Nearly every physician will recommend a woillan who is suffering from nervous prostration or nervous exhaustion to drink lots of water be- tween meals, but many women who do not come under a doctor's care would feel better and look better if they would drink, say, a quart of water in the course of the day. Water is nerve food. It has a distinctly soothing effect when sipped gradually, as one can test for one's self.

USEFUL RECIPES. A SMALL ROAST.-If the piece of meat is to be roasted, it is better to remove the bones neatly and roll up the meat to form a round, tie with a clean piece of tape, and roast as usual. The bones should be converted into soup. A good plan is to break up the bones, j tie them securely in a piece of muslin, and boil thus in soup or broth. Bone extracts should always be strained, as splintered bones in soup are very dangerous. SARDINES ON TOAST.-This is a favourite savoury. Make some buttered toast, and keep it hot, first removing the crust. Take the skins off the sardines and remove the backbone, also cut off the heads and tails. Arrange two or three of the filleted fish on a small square of toast, heat in the oven, and, just before taking to table, dust with pepper If parsley is liked, sprinkle a little of it finely minced over the fish. RHUBARB CUSTARD.Place the rhubarb in a stewpan with the thinly-cut rind of half a lemon, a little cinnamon, a few cloves, and sufficient moist sugar to sweeten. When re- duced to a marmalade it should be passed through a sieve, and the grated peel of half a lemon, four ounces of butter, and the yolks oi" three eggs added, with one whole egg. After lining a pie-dish with puff-paste, the rhubarb custa/rd should be poured in, and the pudding baked for half an hour. If served cold, whipped cream should be piled on the top. JAPANESE TART.-Lilie a shallow tin with good short crust and bake it for twenty minutes. When cool turn out and put a layer of jam or preserved apricots in the bottom. Fill up with a nice custard made with the yolks of two eggs and three-quarters of a cup of milk, and return to the oven to set. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, mix in two ounces of castor sugar, and beat again, for a few minutes. Spread in an even layer over the custard. Place the re- mainder in an icing bag with a tube and ornament with' scrolls. Put back in the oven to brown a little. A HOT DINNER FOR SUNDAY.—Have you ever discovered that a beefsteak and kidnev pudding made overnight is just as nice as when made the same day as cooked? When the pudding is made take the cloth it is to be boiled in, wet it well in cold water, slightly wring, lay over the crust, tie down, and remove to a cool place until morning. This prevents it getting dry, as it would otherwise do. Then on Sunday morning the water is juickly boiling, and in goes the pud- ding quiie early. Allow four hours for a small pudding (two pounds of .meat).

FUN AND FANCT.. l< What you want, my boy," said a father, push. It is the push which tunes." "I got it this morningrepned 'ii» son moodily. "One kiss!" pleaded a departing icwer. "Nonsense! exclaimed his fiancee in a team- ing mood. "Some one might see us." "Who?"' ioWhy, the clock-it has a face." "Yes, but it keeps its hands in front of it!" "When you have.. a motor-car," said Mr. Chuggins, enthusiastically, "you depend on your own intelligence entirely. Now, it's altogether different when you drive- a horse/' "Yes," answered the unassuming man; "that's one reason why I think maybe a horse is safer." Alma: "Yes, Oscar, when we are married you will not go to the club at nights. You will stay at home, and I'll sing and play the piano for you, won't L?" Oscar: "Yes, dearest; you know I never cared much for pleasure, anyway." Gus de Smith: "Do you know my father, Miss Birdie?" Birdie "I have never met him, but I believe he is a modest, unassum- ing sort of man." Gus de Smith: "Right you are. You can get some kind of an idea how unostentatious he is when I tell you he does not brag about having ma for a son." 1:1 Employment Agent (wearily): "Well, what's the matter with that last place?" Domestic: "I'll not stay there. Th' missus wants me to sift th' ashes." Employment Agent: "So do they all. You can't find a mistress who won't want you to sift the ashes." Domestic: "Y-e-s; but this one watches to see that I do it." After a party a night or two ago at Brent- wood. The Dear Girl: "He had the impu- dence to ask me for a kiss!" Her Dear Friend: "The idea! What cheek!" The Dear Girl (blushing): "He wasn't particular which." "It was as much as I could do to keep from laughing when Miss Cluscher remarked that her sweetheart was so versatile.' "Well, he is rather versatile." "Nonsense! he's a. regular idiot!" "Yes, but he's so many different kinds of an idict." "Well," said the bridegroom-to-be, "I sup- pose you'll be sorry, Wiliie, when the time comes for your sister's wedding?" "Not much," replied the small brother. "It will gimme an excuse to chuch pa's slippers away." Clarence: "You're looking worried, old chappie—buck up. What's the mattah ?" Percival: "I am worried, my boy, tewibly. Me valet says I'm getting so careless that he's sure I must be in love. He's right, I suppose—but for the life of me I cawn't think who she can be Housekeeper "You're a big, healthy man why don't you go to work?" Tramp: "Lady, I'll tell ye me trouble. I'm an unhappy medium." "What do you mean by tl13J,?" "Well, ye see, I'm too heavy for light work, an' too light for heavy work." Office Boy "The editor is much obliged to you for allowing him to see your drawings, but much regrets he is unable to use them." Fair Artist (eagerly): "Did he say that?" Office Boy (truthfully): "Well, not exactly. He just said, 'Take 'em away, Johnny they make. me ill! His Wife: "When you proposed to me you said you were well off." Her Husband: "And I told you the truth." His Wife: "Then how do you account for the fact that you haven't any money now? Her Hus- band: "Oh, I didn't have any money then, but I was single." Miss Fence: "Oh, Mr. Tallyheau, you should have seen Mr. Seldham-Hunt take that high hedge!" Mr. Tallyheau: "The idea I didn't think the horse he rode was much of a jumper." Miss Fence: "Oh, the horse didn't take the hedge. Mr. Seldham- Hunt did it alone;" They were uttering the tender noneense. that succeeds the great question. "And," said the girl, bravely, "if poverty comes, we will face it together." "Ah, clearest," he re- plied, "the mere sight' of your face would scare the wolf away." And there's another engagement ring wasted. "Very slippery floor," remarked a young man, as the band played a popular waltz. "It's jolly hard to keep on your feet." "Oh, then, you are trying to keep on my feet, are you?" said his partner. "I thought at first it was accidental." Irate Parent: "So you think my daughter loves you, sir, and you wish to marry her? Young Lover: "That's what I called to see you about. And, if you don't mind, I thought I'd just ask first: Is there any insanity ill your family?" Irate Parent: "No, sir; and there's not going to be any." "Tickets, please!" requested the atten- dant at a theatre as several persons ap- proached him in "Indian file." "It's all right!" cried the man at the rear. "This is my party of six. Count us as we go in I" The attendant counted up to five and five gentlemen passed him and mingled with the crowd inside the theatre. But the man with the tickets had disappeared. Five of the audience that evening were uninvited" derad- heads "Do you sell p-p-p-p-arrots?" asked a man with a bad impediment. "Yes, sir. We have a very good selection." "Can they t-t-t-t-alk?' Y-e s sir. This one here I can recommend." "Can it t-t-t-t-alk w-w-w-ell?" "Yes. sir?" "You are quite sure it can t-t-t-t-alk w-w-w-ell?" "My good sir, if it could not talk better than you I should have twisted its neck long ago!" said the exasperated bird fancier. He had patiently endured his doctor's <6Jt, perimenting ior twelve months, and was long- ing to get m a good upper-cut. "I don't think the X-rays should be used in medi- cine," said he on the last visit. Doctor: "Why, they are being used! We can get in- ternal photographs of the patient." "Yes," he lashed oil, "but some day the patient may be able to get internal photographs of the doctor's head and find out if he knows any- thing about the case."
