(FROM THE BUDGET LEAGUE.) The month of October is likely to be the rmost critical time in the history of Eng- land since 1832. The HouW" o £ Commons iftave now finished the Committee stage of the Budget Bill, and the remaining stages will be disposed of within the next fort- night. The bill will reach the House of rLords about the middle of the month. What will happen then? The Lords may slacken or quicken the crisis, but before the Slid of the present month they must come itù a decision. It is probable that before (October 30th they will have decided whether to pass or reject the Budget Bill. There remains, therefore, a month for -them to make their decision, and it is to be tfioped that during that time the wild coun- sels at present in favour may have become ,1'J, little tamer. But if we may judge from the present outlook, it would appear al- rmost certain that they are going to reject "the bill. How has that situation come /about ? Be it noted that the responsible iOonservative leaders have never advocated i-rejection. Lord Lansdowne has been known ito be against it throughout the summer. ;Ix>rd Rothschild is said to be against it on ^financial grounds. Lord St. Aldwyn is also eputed to be opposed to rejection, together •With most of the other responsible heads of it-he old Tory Party. They realise that to ihrow out the Budget means to begin a re- solution which may not end in the way desire, It is, in the phrase of the Spectator, a "political gamble." They rmight have added the words of Lord {,Goschen's old epigram—" A gamble with ilie food of the people." No, it is not the old Conservatives who i&re precipitating this crisis. It is the tariff Reformers on the one hand and the brewers on the other.' Lord Rosebery hesi- tated to take so momentous a step, but Mr. -Joseph Chamberlain did not hesitate at .all. Writing to the Bingley Hall meeting -for the Tariff Reformers, he urged the Mouse of Lords to throw out the bill. But the strongest force of all is probably :the brewers. They are not- being asked to ay more than a fair share of the increased -value of the monopoly which they possess; tmt, encouraged by their triumph of last year, what is called "the Trade" have from the very beginning shown the greatest t-gonndence in their power to upset the Bud- get. Led by the London brewers, they have ftfused to accept Mr. Lloyd-George's most •moderate overtures. At a critical moment iin the history of the Eudget, they refused -to supply the Treasury with the material ;for revising the scale of on-licence duties. They thus lost all chance of compromise; "for it was impossible for the Treasury to anake any revision without material which •could only be provided for them bv the .> Trade" itself. They thus staked every- thing on a fight. rumour speaks correctly, the brewers '"•Ve during the past fortnight carried this ttitude a step further. They have told the ;on.servatives quite plainly that unless the throw out the Budget they will with- -«Taw their contributions to the Conserva- tive funds. That is a threat which reminds :!18 rather ominously of some of the worst Wicidents in American politics, and it is -fincerely to be hoped that if the threat has made the Conservative Party is still pUe enough to British traditions of poli- purity to treat it with scorn. If the Trade" have been speculating in a "re- :!l'ltiO,n," they must take the result on "'tIUll' own shoulders. ~t» Meanwhile, as the campaign against the ^Udget goes on in the country it becomes, .3° the words which Alice used in Wonder- curiouser and curiouser." For in- there is a decide^ rift, in the lute subject of the land clauses. The .Party of the Dukes wants to throw out the S^dget because of its land clauses; but ia meantime the Tariff Reformers want to adopt the land clauses for their own pur- The only difference between these tfiP"ticians and the Government is that the Tariff Reformers want to keep the revenue rates alone, and the Government to divide it between the rates and the es. Really, the talk about the Budget ng a "revolution" becomes rather thin! Several very amusing instances of this have occurred during, the past '^ight. One has been Mr. F. E. Smith's 'ernbairassrnent at Liverpool. The story of lr. 1.. E. Smith and the land clauses is > rtainly somewhat entertaining. The sud- Jf1* appearance of Mr. F. E. Smith in the cj0Use of Commons over the licensing jftUseg reminded us that he had been on a while the* land clauses were being 1 This led to some energetic Liberals up his election speech.

Bu T, simple of him! He quite forgets S te>r e w°rd "Socialism" is now simply ^Scpu"- abuse used by Conservatives in Liberal proposals. Th J? C .manoeuvre of the Opposition e Pretend that the dissolution which "t ,ouse of Lords threatens to bring ia fought on the Budget alone, attempt to make out that tne House ol .Lords are taking qmte a democratic step. "After all," they SI"I"il what are they doing but asking for. A popular mandate. Even if they are beaten, they would have done quite a useful thin, They will have allowed the people to d'e- cide! Now, just see where that leads. It means that the people are to be forced to have a General Election on every Budget to which the Lords object. If that view is accepted, then we may have another Gene- '1 ral Election next year on the same issue. The country may be kept in a perpetual state of chaos. It will be impossible for any Liberal Government to levy its taxes. That view is clearly intolerable. The great point to remember is that if the Lords compel a dissolution this year on the Budget, it must be the last dissolution of the kind. The question to be decided at the coming General Election is not only tha "Budget," but the It Lorcls."
DEATH A FT K R VACCINATION.
DEATH A FT K R VACCINATION. At Athncv\k> cn Monday an inquest was held on Nellie Shawcrrss,- the six-month s-old child of James Shawcross, of Kirkham- etreet. Openshaw, who died a few weeks after I %acc.; rial ion. Dr. Jones, of Opem-haw, said he performed the ii wih lymph from the National Vaccine Establishment. A week after there were four normal marks on the left arm, and he left a fresh dressing at the house, and ga e instructions to promote the success of tic vaccination. About twenty ilve days later he found that three of the four pock marks healed. On the fo;- "th a email scab was noticeable., as if it had been slight.y scratched. From that mark an ervsipel s rash spread all over the baby, and the chikl di-2d fr,r-q exhaustion. Dr. Jcncs added that he was told by the mother that she rubbed some cold cream into the sores with her fLg-crs; 1101 all probability that set up th: ervdpeias. The coroner sail the Local Government j Board inspector and Dr. Jones had come to the conclusion that the source of infection w..s in all probability the cold cream. A verdict of "Death from misadventure I was returned.
A VOTE FOR MRS. PANKHCTRST.
A VOTE FOR MRS. PANKHCTRST. At Hornsey Revision Court on Monday !I the Liberal agent said he had received a, letter from (t man who was on the voters' list, but against whom he had made objec- tion. The rmai said: "I have your notice of objection. I object to being the recipient c t any pipers re poli- tics, 11) because I loathe Oolities and especi- ally party politics; (2) I loathe politicians; (3) my wife being troubled by unnecessary calls at my door on matters political; (4) I loathe all Tories, Liberals, 'Radicals, and Socialists. Give my vote to Mis. Pankhurst she wants one; I don't. P.S.—The fact that you make your objection on '.what is appa- rently a purely technical omission is highly instructive."
\ ! HOME HINTS. .
HOME HINTS. When pipes are leaking, and the services of a plumber are not immediately available, make a stiff paste from yellow soap and whiting with water, and apply to the defec- tive joint or burst. This will stop a leak for some hours. Never clean the nails with a sharp-pointed instrument, and never cut them without first soaking the nds in warm water for at least five minutes. If the finger-nails are stained, try dipping them in a cup of warm, soft water, to which a teaspoonful of lemon juice has been added. When washing green material, put into the rinsing water one teaspoonful of vinegar and one teaspoonful of methylated spirit, and the colour will be preserved, looking as good as new. Iron as soon as possible after washing. Sponges should always be kept in a wire or wicker basket. They should always be placed in the air so that they dry thoroughly. After using a sponge, it is best to rinse it in clean watdfe, and do not fail to squeeze it dry. When a sponge requires washing, it should be put into hot water to which a little salt has been added and then rinsed. All housekeepers do not yet understand that what goes on in the kitchen on washing days affects the condition of the clothes if, as often happens, laundry work and kitchen work must be done in the same room. The smell of broiled or fried fish, or even broiled steak, or those odours which come from strong vegetables while cooking—such as onions, cabbage, and the like-cling to the clothes with great pertinacity even after they are ironed and sent upstairs. This is espe- cially true if the smells are absorbed during the sprinkling of the clothes, and when the latter are quickly rolled up tight, and are Dpened to have the odours ironed into them.
A BRITISH IBRIDE o
A BRITISH BRIDE o FOR KING MANOEL. No official announcement has yet been made with regard to the King of Portugal's marriage, but a Lisbon paper declares that his Majesty's bride will be Princess Alex- audra of Fife, eldest daughter of the Prin- cess Royal and the Duke of Fife, and that the mar via go will take place in Lisbon early in April next With regard to King Maiioel's forthcoming 7' tour, it is slated thafc it will occupy three weeivs. King Manoel will pass twelve days in England, and will celebrate his twentieth birthday at Windsor, King Edward giving a. great banquet in his honour. The Royal betrothal will be announced at this banquet, says the journal. Rumour has repeatedly betrothed the young King of Portugal to Princess Alex- andra of Fife, and in July last it was stated that there wrts in official circles no knowledge of such an oil'a--co. Princess Alexniidra, the elder of the Duke of Fife's daughters, is only 18 years old. King Mancel is 20 years old on Novem- ber 15.
SIXTEEN-YEAH-OLD BURGLAR.
SIXTEEN-YEAH-OLD BURGLAR. At Enfield on Monday Victor Harwood was charged with committing a burglary at the house of Dr. Charles Hutt, High-road, Tot- tenham. Dr. Hutt said that the boy was formerly in his employ. On Sunday morning he found his landing window op-en with the -flash rope cut and fastened to the gutter. Detective-sergeant Dixon stated that he found sortie of the stolen articles upon the boy, and also a "penny dreadful" entitled "The Boy Scouts in Morocco." The boy said he had been reading several of them. Altogether he had committed burglary at that house three times. The last time he got through a gate, I crawled along a narrow wall, waited in the; summer-house, took off his boots, and climbed the waterspout. He passed along a- by the servants' room till he got to the landing window, where he fastened the eord to the gutter. As the clock struck twelve he opened the window, and let himself down by the ropeontothe stairs. Harwood was committed for trial at the Middlesex Sessions. j
......,-SPELL IT WITS AN "…
SPELL IT WITS AN A." There was a very unusual dialogue be- tween the Bethnal-green coroner and a wit- II ness during1 an iiKiuest on Monday on the body of Siinon SLapira. I The widow being asked her name, gave it as Ethel Shapiro. I Coroner: Mow do you spell it? Witness: I cannot. Her Daughter: It is S-h-a-p-i-r-o. Coroner: Are you sure it is a final "o" or should it be Daughter: It makes no difference in the Hebrew, Coroner: I think it would make a great deal of difference if you were left a legacy. Come, now, which will you have it? Daughter: Just whichever yon like. Coroner I'll tell you why I ask. There was a famous Hebrew named Shapira, who forged a number of ancient Hebrew docu- nients, and having read of him I thought of the final "a," although of course there may have been a Shapiro. Now, which will you have it? Daughter: Let it be "a," then. The controversy then ended.
Two FACTS FOR COOKS.
Two FACTS FOR COOKS. One is that stewing and simmering are not synonymous terms for boiling. Boiling point is not reached under 212 deg. Fahrenheit, j wh-reas simmering requires only 180 de- grees. Meat, once it has been cooked, should never, no matter how heated again, be j allowed to reach boiling point. Fact the second is that frying means boiling in fat in- stead of water. To fry anything, it should be covered with boiling lard, which must be kept at boiling point. This is not extrava- gant, for the same fat may be #ed many times over. « VALUE OF LITTLE THINGS. I The girl whose manners are pleasing knows the value of little things. She is not satisfied with omitting glaring rudeness she is polite in trifles. She answers an invitation the day it is received, and does not change her mind later when something more attractive turns up. She does not take attention as a matter of course, but expresses her gratitude of the smallest kindness by an appreciative word. She does not consider it good manners to be pleasant with the special friend and indiffe- rent to the other members of the family. She is thoughtful of the feelings of old people and inferiors, and full of sweet little atten- tions to the sick and feeble. ———- Kiss BABY GOOD-NIGHT. Whatever a child's daytime naughtiness may have been, at nightfall he should be for- given, and go to rest with the mother's kiss o» his lipa. Hardly anything can be worse for a young child than to be scolded or punished at bedtime. Children should never be allowed to carry with them in their thoughts the mental sufferings which too many parents seem to think an absolute necessity in the careful bringing up of children. All too soon will they have to face the world and its sorrows. While children should be taught to shun all, equivocation and lying, etill we need not fear to satisfy the vivid baby imaginations with the literature of fairyland. They early learn to find the truth wrapped up in the husk of the story. DELIGHTFUL BATH-ROOM MIXTURE. I An excellent provision for every washing* stand is a perfumed flannel soap bag, whielt can be hung up on a nail or in a. string sponge bag over the washing apparatus, and can be .u,.eu for cleansing the hands. The bag should be filled with a mixture of a pint of bran, half an ounce of almond meal, half an ounce' of orris root, and a little pure white soap shredded down finely and sifted well through the powdered ingredients. This makes a de- lightful mixture—deliciously perfumed and wonderfully soft for the hands. The bag must be tied up when filled and dipped in the warm ? water in which the hands are washed and i rubbed over the backs and palms till a soft glow is experienced.
