JOURNALIST'S LIBEL SUIT. Mr. Edgar Infield, a Brighton journalist, sued Mrs. Susanna Mackay, trading as John A. K. Mackay, printers, in London, in th» King's Bench, on Monday, for damages for libel in a pamphlet entitled, ''The sanctity of marriage and conflict of sex," written by Mrs. Georgina Weldon and printed by the defendant. Mrs. Mackay admitted the. libel and pub- lication, and pleaded that she had published an apology. Mr. Infield said his wife became ac- quainted with Mrs. Weldon, and subse- quently there was domestic unhappine-ss, and eventually a separation, and in 1908 Mrs. Weldon's pamphlet was circulated in Brighton. Mr. Infield complained that it falsely accused him of ill-treating and de- serting his wife, and of secret drinking. He said that every allegation was un true. The defendant did not attempt to justify any part of the pamphlet. Mrs. Weldon was not sued, although she had attempted to get herself made a defendant. After a consultation, counsel for the de- fendant made an unqualified apology, re- gretting that the pamphlet was published. and stating there was not a word of triith in the charges. A verdict Was given for the plaintiff for an amount agreed upon between the parti to cover damages and costs.

A LETTER TO THE KING. Mr. D. C. Dewey, J.P., deputy-cviairman of the Prudential Assurance Co., of South Hill Wood, Bromley, Kent, was a witness on Monday at the local court in which Henry James, alias Warren, was charged with doing wilful damage at the residence named. Mr. Dewey stated that James, who was a dismissed servant of the coircpaijy, called on hi in one evening and said he had a grievance against the company. Hp also produced a letter addressed to hie Majesty, wheh he said he was going to post. On Mr. Dewey order- ing him to leave the house, James threw two oranges at some iits and hurled a silver salver at a large picture. Cross-examined, Mr. Dewev said he under- stood that the prisoner wanted money. Jamee elected to give evidence, and put in a statement, which the chairman said was a direct attack on the Prudential Com-pany, and did not refer to the damage the man had done. The magistrate fined him 40s., with 4s. damage and 5s. 6d. costs, in default, a month's hard labour. Jamrjs said that in going to prison lie would be doing something for a great cause.

The schooner was beuiid from liull to Kingsbridge, Devon, with coaj, and the Spica was from Valencia with fruit. The collision happened off Beachy Head, when the Spica almost cut the schooner m two. The R.T.K. foundered within five minutes. The crew escaped by clambering up the steamer's anchor chains. Two had a narrow escape from being killed, and all lost every- thing they possessed.

Mr. Bubbles: "If the children are anything like old Ike- < stein, Maria, they won't give Johnny the I measles or anything else without our being charged twenty per cent. for the accommo- dation." A restaurant-keeper noticed that some of his customers annexed the current day's papers for an irritatingly long time. He hit on this little piece of sarcasm. Prominently displayed on the walls was the announce- ment: "Those learning to read are re- quested to use yesterday's newspapers." First Burglar: "Hark! I hear someone I talking." Second Burglar: "What's he say- ing?" First Burglar: "That he never will bet on another horse as long as he lives." Second Burglar: "Let's get out of this. No money here; he's lost every cent." Two youngsters were observed a few weeks ago earnestly gazing at a magnificent statue which had recently been erected. A gentle- man who is a lover of art stopped close by in order that he might observe what effect so fine a specimen of the sculptor's art would have upqn the rising generation. He had not long to wait. After gazing with raptur- ous eyes for two or three minutes, the young- sters walked slowly away, and one of them said with a sigh: "I wonder if that police- man over there would see us if we was to throw mud at it?" "Tickets," said the collector, as he opened the door of a carriage in which sat a man who looked as if he was anchored to his seat. The man handed over the required paste- board, which was duly inspected. Then, looking round, the collector said: "Is there another gentleman in the carriage?" "No." Is that other portmanteau yours then, too?" "Other portmanteau?" "Yes; on the floor there by the other." "Those," said the traveller, with dignity, "are iny feet." A countrymen, while sauntering along a City street, saw a sign, "Please ring the bell for the caretaker." 'After reflecting for a few minutes he walked up and gave the bell buch a pull that it nearly came out by the roots. In a few moments an angry-faced man opened the door. "Are you the care- talker?" asked the bell-puller. "Yes; what do you want?" "I saw that notice, so I rang the bell, and now I want to know why you can't ring the bell yourself." When Governor Head was in office in New Hampshire, Colonel Barrett, of the Go- vernor's staff, died, and there was an un- eceIIllyscramble for the office even while his body was awaiting buriat with military honours. One candidate ventured to call upon Governor Head. "Governor," he asked, "do you think you would have any bjections if I was to get into Colonel Bar- rett's place?" The answer came promptly: "No; I don't think I should have any objec- tion, if the undertaker is willing. A boy was holding a lighted candle for his master, a plumber, who was engaged upon some repairs on a water-pipe in a dwelling- house. The boy, being a little careless, put the candle too near his master's head, and up went his hair in a blaze. The master turned round in a rage, and after inflicting punishment upon his apprentice, said: "You stupid ediot, can ye no' watch what ye're daein'? The fowk of the hoose '11 think we he been singeing a sheep's head wi' the smell we're settin' up." "Aweel," returned the boy, sukily, "they'll mebbe no' be far wrang."

I HOME HINTS. I Borax water Ï8 excellent for washing the hair. Buy articles of the best quality, XWy OW cheapest in the end. If stockings are very much soiled, a Ii. Borax in the water will quickly cut the dirt. Should a chimney catch fire, a wet blanket nailed over the grate will soon extinguishtho Camee. Coarse salt sprinkled occasionally on iN floor before sweeping is said to be a good preventive of moths. An old book-case, either the kind to bang on the wall, or to stand on the floor make# a good substitute for the convenient kitchoo cabinet. Wash soiled oilcloth with warm soap sodt, then give it an extra rub with a soft cloth, dipped in skimmed milk, to brighten tha colours. In washing dishes, begin with, the glasses^ cups and saucers, and other similar articles, reserving till the laet those which have beett used for greasy food. Soda-water, which is an exceptionally good cleanser for most kitchen wear, should never be used on aluminium utensils, or they will speedily lose their bright look. Wear sufficient clothing. Remember that flannel underwear often saves a doctor's bill, and that warm stockings and weather-proof boote are cheaper luxuries than bottles of cough mixture. When preparing the vinegar for pickled cabbage add a small piece of washing soda, the size of a nut, to every gallon of vinegar, before boiling the spice. This will keep the cabbage crisp for a year or more. To clean patent leather and prevent ft from cracking, take French harness paste used by saddlers. Apply it sparingly to the leather, and polish it lightly with a piece of black cloth. Patent leather thus treated rarely cracks. Here is a good way to serve bananas. Feel- and cut into thin slices, using a silver knife; squeeze over the juice of an orange and cover lightly with caster sugar. Serve with blancmange, or in the place of preserve, with bread and butter for tea. A veteran housekeeper says that washing lamp-chimneys is a waste of time. Just bola them over the steam from a boiling tea- kettle, then rub them off with a dry news- paper folded up into a wad, and lastly with a soft cloth, and they will be all that can be desired.

Boil steadily in a well- greased mould for three hours. Serve with sweet melted butter sauce. A simple but effective means of preventing the juice from running out of fruit pies is to I insert a funnel-shaped piece of white paper in an opening made in the centre of the top crust, through which the steam will escape. ¡ A Dainty Dish.—Make a stuffing of som# 11 breadcrumbs and half the quantity of the latter of suet, some parsely, a little grated lemon peel, pepper and salt.
