Men Who Maried Their Domestics.

A distressing faot for hero worshipper* to aeireißp'ate is tha great men often make inexplicable marriage 3. Indeed, the number of distinguished men who have married housemaids present* a marked departure from the conventional highway of matrimony. Precedent for this custom was* however, established by Pater the Greafe. One day —s© the story goes—the Joauder of the Russian Empire waa dining at the house of Prince Menahikoff. He noticed one of the £c. ving maids particularly* tnd though she was not handsome, she caught the fancy of Peter. Her name, the Prince told the Czar, was Martha. She had been , a servant in the house cf a Lutheran minister of Msrlenburg, and when that city was captured by the, troops of Russia she had been t&ken prisoner of General Bauer, who had passed her over to the Prince, whose serf she was. The Count politely made a present) of her te the Czar, who eventually married her, renamed her Catherine, and sbt I reigned after him as Catherine I, JEmprew , of all the Busßlas. Even more startling Is the example of Sir Gervalae Olifton, whose history of, Jamaica is one of the finest books of Its kind. He married no kss than seven times, and each time selected his lady from amocg his domestics servants. The seventh Lady Ciifion oat> lived her lord, but the other sis he buried in « family mausoleum which cost £50,000. Thomas Day, the author of the famous book 'Sanford and Merton,' elected two girls—one from a poor house and one from a foundling aeylnra—- and took them into his house as domestics. He proposed to both of them in turn. One rejected his suit. The other promised to marry him, bub subsequently withdrew her promise on account of his eccentricities* Day, however, admired the girl's courage, and settled a dowry of £500 upon her, at the same time deciding to remain ft bachelor*

Lord Hosiery's After-dinner Suggestion.

-—■II « _ A CABINET OF BUSINESS MEN.

At the annual dinner of the Company cf Merchants of the City of Edinburgh, Loud Rotebecry, replying od behalf of the Hoaee of Lords, said :-I have sometimes wished to nee a Cabinet formed in which no politicians Bhaald be permitted. (Laughter.) I should like to see constituted fcr a year a Govern* montia which, perhaps, do member o£ aoy existing or former Government should be tuoluded. I would compose it entirely of business men. lam sorry to bear that this Merchant Company have received mob a BentimeDt as that, opening out snoh a career for themselves, in dead silence, (Laughter*) £ would take men who, like Mr I«may, who Is, unfortunately, gone; like Sir Richard Moon, who is, unfortunately, gone ; I would take two living men—l would take Sir Thomas Liptou—{a laugh)— who has given up to yachting too tnnoh 61 what was meant for.naankii.a, and I would take another of the mosii successful business men of cur generation, Mr Andrew Gat* negie, and 1 would aek them as au expert- . meat to form a Cabinet, and to fill the great offices of Stated 1 would ask them to take over the Government of she country, and I would say that on the whole it is probable that the Governments of this country have not mada iho bekt use of ail their o|ipor« tuniries, that our administration Iran* something to be desired. We are spending an enormona sum of money every year?—will you busiaeas msa tell us if we are getting the beet value for it ? Are we getting twenty shillings for every pound of the iwo hundred millions that via are spending every year ? (A. voSoe«"Noi"J There is a gentleman that is prepared to form part of that Cabinet. (Laughter.) Are we getting ten shillings for every pound we are spending? I oaa imagine the Sovereign saying-—"I want you, gentlemen of the Business Cabinet, to tell me, Are we getting moneys worth for money spent ? It you will only contract to remain In effiee for twelve months, and give us a business report on that issue, you will probably ba the moat useful Cabinet that has ever existed in this country." I would say this more—take over this administrative machine of oura—it is very ancient, It) creeks a good deal in its meve* tneat. Oiicamstacces debar 08 from doing what you would do, getting »new machine, because we are very much attached to the old. But you will perceive that ttt internal arraugements are not those of the newest fashion, that we use wood where others wou'.d use steel, and where others would use wire we use Ted tape all through. (Laughter.) I wouldsay, ace if yoa cannot take this machine and treat it as you weald ' any machine with which your own firm wai dealing, and tell us that you have examined it, aad if you are satisfied with it, and if you would use it for your owe concern, I think that they would give a report that would rather astonish all the administration* and ail the Parliaments which have existed in this country.

AnypersDn who may read these lines and who has been unfortunate enough to have had Eczema, will know my condition when I say that for the period above stated I had Eczema in its worst; and most painful form on both legs and feob. Afc times they would bleed and run, ab others the smarting, burning itch would neatly drive me mad, and I felto that I could bear myself to pSeoos to get relief. Ab other times the swelling would be so great that j I could not put a boot on or ev«n pab my foot to the ground. I had always to wear bandages and many's the time I have gob up 10 and J 2 times during the night to attend to the feet and legs, and apply ointment or lotions to try and ease the pain. I havo often sat on the side of the bed end cried like a child with the tortur ing agony I w^a in, and wished myself dead. During those nine years I waa treated by five different doctors, and the ointment, lotions, and salves I have tried could be called Legion. I had made up my mind to go into the Wellington Hospital, and, if nothing could be done, said I would have my feet taken off If it would only ease my [suffering. One day ■my little boy said to me, f Mother, why don't you try Plantekoa Ointment?' 1 replied that I was sick and tired of trying, and thought Plantekoa was like a lot of others I had used. However, a few daya after this a friend advised me to try it, asying that it was splendid, and that they had never seen anything like it, so that day I sent to Mr Elchbaun, chemist, Jackson Street, and got a box, and I have to say that was THEUESi l'dbuiiask levermada. PLANT!-KOA OINTMENT HAS CURED MS, and my husband often says ' It would be cheap if itcost aguinea a box.' As evidence of ihe change, lam now wearing a par of boots that t threw aside ( 'wolve months aso, from the fact that my j foet were so swollen i could 5J02 get them on, and now lean wear them with ease and comport- I may say there are i.eurea of Petone residents who know nay case, and have known me for a number of years and what a terrible sufferer I have been. I shall be pleased to answer any enquiries or give farther particulars if desired," To others who may be suffering from Eczama, or any other skin trouble, all W9 ask la that you should TRY IT.
