Men, and How to Manage Them.

BY AN OLD HOUSEKEEPER.

Drinks and dishes fob Hot Weather. If the summer goes on as it baa begun it will be a blaz-r, and iv such a eisa you cannot keep your husband too cool. A man's temper generally rises with the tem perature, and women are not quite free irom the influence of the weather either. The first thing, therefore, that you have to think of is ilia best meaus of keeping your house cool, and the secoud of providing cool and refreshing things for your men folk to eat and drink. The men who can sit down contentedly in a room like an oven to eat hot ro*»t meat, and drink tepid Van Yean or lukewarm beer, are few and far between, and ate not worth knowiug when you lind them. Now, there is a very simple method of cooling your rooms, or rather of pi eventing them from getting ho*, and that is to have outside blinds nude for every window upon which the suu shines. These may be cheaply made of green holland, whici can be bought abjut forty-five to forty-eight iacbei wide tor fiEtecnipeuce per yard. The outside frames of the lurgoit windows in cittage horns i and small houses rarely measure more than this width, and i,wo yards will nuke a long blind. The Belvage on each side of the stuff makes it only necessary to hem them top and bottom. Tae lmnu should both be broad enougk for laths to run in, and, when a hot day is likaiy, those blinds should ba hung outside the windows so that the sun never strikes ou the glass. The hanging is ea ily managed. Get a coupls or three stout biaas hooks about an inch, or an inch and a half clear, screw them into the wall, above the window fiamo if the house be a wooden one, or just on the top of the frame itself if the house be ot brick, and liavo two or three short loops of tape which will ju»t pass over tb.3 hooks sewn t> the top hem. Hare corresponding hooka below and short tapes whereoy you may tie the blind 3 down. These will keep your rooms woadeifully coo', always supposing that you put them up before tbo sun attains its chief power in ttio morning. You can buy Chinese lath1 blinds if you like for this purpose, but they are not so cheap or oonrsnient as those made of holland. You are thus indepen dent of your landlord and are better off than if yoa were paying kirn an extra ront for outer Venetian b'.inds. The great thing is to have the blinds out side the windows, and never to lo; the sun shine into the rooms on a hat day. K^eep all doors fast nnd all windows closed on a hot day, and when you are compelled to go out, do to, if poasiblc, by a door facing south or we9t, In ordar to Ret icy cold water in th« summer time, the best plan is to get one of the ordinary canvas bags with tap* in them, such as the tent makers sell. Iho bag should be big eneugh to nold a pail ot water, aud should have two bottom*, with the tap strongly fixed between thena, It should then have an inoh layer of clean sharp sand laid smoothly in it, and an inch of small pebble's, such as you can sift out of gravel or pick up oa the beach. The sand should bs carefully washed in several wa'cra and lulled before it is used. The bag, wlici prepared, should be filled with water and nung under a verandah. Hut winds will only make tho water cooler by causing more evaporation, and on a hot day Water which bus been exposed in such a bag will bo so cold that it will set your teeth ou edge, whi'e the sand and pebbles will filter it frotn any ordinary Impunities. Tho only thing needful is to keep the bag always full and kung level. But men will not drink cold water always, and the inhabitants of cottage homes are very often without cellarage, where drinks may he kept moderately cool. However, there must be a shady side to every house, and if 'there be no shed on that side you must contrive some means of keeping beer, wive, or mineral water cool. A box placed inside another, a little larger than itself, with the space be tween crammed with sawdust, will keep its contents cool. The other box may be a zinc-lined packing-case, such aa you can buy for twa or three shillings from the drapers, who receive European stuffs in them. * Such a case, with a smaller box m side it, and the space between filled with sawdust tightly packed, will answer ad mirably a? a refrigerator tor drinks. It only wants covering With an old tug or blanket, which in very hot weather may be wetted. S.B. — A. contrivance of this land will not do for animal substances, which require ventilated safes Ice is now easily and cheaply precured, and.in such a case as I have described it will last a good whila if it be wrapped in a blanket. With ice you a?e safe. You can cool tho hottest tempered husband that ever was seen. Wi'.hout it you nonet do the bebt you can with tuch contrivances as I have indicated, and others that.will oc»ur to you. Try your hand at making cool drinks, and if your hmband prefer! those that hava a little wine or spirit in them don't make a fuss. He would driak far mure wine without them. Here are several recipe? tor cool drinks with wirus and for tempsrauce drinks, which will be found useful during the hot weather:— /.— Cider Cctp—l quart bottle of good English cider, 2 bottles of sodawater, lib of pounded ice, two heaped tablespoonsful of wbi'.e pounded sugjr, a eprigof green borage, or a sprig of mint, or a thin slice of cucumber rind, and a small gla»s of brandy, or curacoa, or maraschino—the last tor choice. lI.—CLAE'iT Cop.—This is made exactly in the same way, but with half the quantity of ice and twice the quantity of sugar. Colonial claret at 25 i per dozen will d« lor this. lir.—A. capital enp may be made with the same ingredients, substituting any white colonial wine for the claret. It may be called after the wine used. IV.—Take one large bottlo of good ale, two lemons, one large glass ef sherry, a handful of mint, half a pint of water, half a pound of ice, and four tablespoonstal ot sugar. Put the juice of both lemons, tbe water, sherry, sugar, mint, the minced peel of one lemon, and a little gr*t«d nutmeg into a covered jug ? stand it aside lor a quirter of an* houi in a cool place. Then take out the mint, stir it all up well, add the ale and ice, and serve, V.—Uae large bottle of good ale, one pint of white wine, one pound of crashed ice, four tablespoonsful of sugar, one sprig of mint or borage, and half a small tea spoonful of grated nutmeg. Put them all together and stir well. v'l.^-Cobblkr.—Cut a fine lemon into slices about a quarter of an inch thick, put it into a glass jug with half a pound of crushed ice and two tablespoonsful oi sugar; pour on it a bottle of sherry or white wins, let it stand for a few miautes in a cool place, and serco. Nothing t hauld be allowed to mar tha simplicity of this delicious drink, which is, ho it ever, very insidious.

Tbmpb'eance Deinks. I.—Peel a large pineapple, slice and peund it to a pulp ; when well washed put it into a basin, aud pour upon it one pint of boiling syrup, made by. bofl-mg ■three quarters of a pound „of sugar jn a pint of water for fifteen minutes, skimming it well while boiling. Add the juice of a lemon, stir all together, and cover over. Let it stand for two hoars, filter it thiongh a piece of silk or muslin, ond add a quart of iced waiter lI.—OKANOEADi.—Put the peels of three oranges, and the strained juice of twelve into a jug, pour over a pint of boiling syrup, let it get cold, add three pints of iced water, stir well. _ , , xil —LsMONADB. — Take three large lemons and half a pound of loaf sugar, rub the lumps of sugar on the lemon nnd until they have imbibed the oil and look yellow, put the sugar into a ]Ug, add the juice of the lemons drained, pour a quart of boiling water over it all, and let it get cold. Strain it through a. piece of fane muslin, beat np the white of an egg, and add to it, stirring Well,

Providence has taken care to *end plenty of fruits and vege ables in the summer time, and milk, batter, fish, and eggs are nlso to be procured cheaply ana in great plenty. Wow these are the exact things accessary fo keep the family in good health and in go'A humour, and by the aw of tbem you may save yourself and your ser vant or servants a veiy greitdeulof trouble and discomfort. Tba first thing to do is to to make up your m<nd that there shall beae little cooking as pcsnble, and that what cooking there is shall be clone in the end part of the day. This will necessitate cold dinners; but there is nothing to l?e afraid of in those if they be nice. The hot weather generally comes 'in spasms. Tendjys ago, tor instance, the weather was almost arctic in its severity, nnd probably ten daya hence it will be in tha same condition. When you can tell that a hot wind day is coming rise extra early, get your, cooking over -early in the morning, put away everything till evening, and take matters as coolly as

possible in yonr darkened rooms.remember. ing that one outside blind is better than fifty insiae. Then when tho sun is going down and dinner must be thought of, aud a dusty, heated, tired man walks up to his own street-door iv a state of irritation, see how comfortable you can make him in a little time. Have a perfectly fresh suit laid out ready for him in his roow.complete to the very smallest article of underwear. By the time he has had his bath and put on bis cool things jou will have dinner on table. A loose, light tweed jacket, a pair of white or any light ooloured pantaloons, a white ve3t, aud a shirt with a lay down collar will always look comfortable, and he will not bo bothered with a hot scarf and extra neckbands. The groat thing is to have them all ready when he comes home, and the bath-room prepared for his lecep tion so that he may havo no excuse for flinging himself down in a heap first, and growling at the weather, Supposing that he reaches home between five and six, and you go to bed between eleven and twelve; you have six hows to spend together, and thoy may just as well be spent in peace and comtoit. If he gets his bath directly hoi will be in a famous frame of mind for din ner after a glass of sherry cobler, aud here is a little dinner which will be tolerably certain to please him : - A cold fish — for which see recipe presently, a cold duck or chicken, a salad,a dish of stewed fruit and a custard. If you have a gas stove you will find that the jets necessary to furnish hot new potatoes,peas, or asparagus, will not make the house par ticularly warm; but if yon have no gas* stove I would not on a really hot day ccok even theso. Bat if you don't have hot vegetablts, instead of an ordinary salad have a salad of cold vegetables, which, propetly treated, are delicious. Now for your cold fish. Any fish will do that is good for boiling, no matter what it may be. Say that it weighs two *r thrco pounds. In this case it will loak very nice when it oomes to table. But if it be bigger it will not be wasted. Take a couple of shallots or small onions minced, a good bunch of paisley, a bunch of savory herbs, two bay leaves, a blade of mace, a good teaspoonful of talc, and a esltspoonful of white pepper ; pat these in a Btewpau with a pint of Water aud a half-pint of colonial wbite wine, and let it all simmer gently for half an hour. Then strain it, put it into a small fish kettle, lay the fish in it, and let it simmer very gently until it ia done. This you will know by the starting of the eyes, but a fish of three pounds weight will rarely take more than a quarter of an hour.; The liquor should not be boiling when the' fish is put into it. When the fish is taken out, the liquor it has been boiled in may be boiled rapidly down, and will serve to glaze it, Xnisis, of coarse, unimportant. A fish oooked in this way, set aside until it its cold and nicely garnished, i 3 a very good beginning to a dinner on a hot day. Any that is left may be flaked and added to a salad the next day.

For salad, take lettuces, endive, and small salad, have them carefully washed and dried by swinging in a cloth, cut them in pieces, and nse the following dreasii g, which will be found to be the best: - Tbe yolks of two haul boiled egg*, one tea spoonful of mixed mustard, half a salt spoonful of pepper, as much cayenne aa will lie on a threepenny piece. Sub all these together in a basin with a* tablespoon, a wosden one if you have it. Whan they are smooth, add a tcaoupful of cream, beating them quite smouh again, and add by slow degrees a teacupful of vinegar, constantly siirring it all the time, ias'ly, put a large tea-poonfal of anchovy sauce, (essence of anchovies), or essence of shrimps, and your dressing will be perfect. Never attempt to use oil, because it is scarcely ever good in this country. Another excellent dressing may be made by taking throe raw eggs, and beating them up with a capful of cream, threa tablespoonfuls of melted butter, a tea spoonful of salt, half a tcaspoooful of peppar, a teaspoonfol of mustard, and a teacupful of vinegar, 'these ingredients must be stirred constantly over a fire or gas jet, just as you would iv making melted batter, but they must Hot bj allowed to boil. Then the mixture must stand until it U quite cold before it i< used. If you are not going to begin your dinner with a fish you can make a splendid mayonnaise by taking any cold fish you may have, or half a dozen cleanly washed anchovies, and placing them among your salad, and using either of these dressings This mayonnaise offish will nuika a capital preparation for your cold ducks or chickens.

Potato salad is simply made of cold boiled potatoes cut into seat slices, dusted with plenty of p?ppcr and salt, sprinkled with chopped parsley, and covered with a plain dressing made of equal quantities of cream aad vinegar. This dretsimj should be ponred on tbe talad hours b tfsre it i< wanted. Cold peas may be added to this, and will bs very good. In that case, a very little chopped mint may be j»ut with the parsley. Almost any cold vegetables may be cut into slices, and added to a salad of this kind. Cold beans, or cold cauliflowers are both excellent after they have lain in the salad dressing for two or th-oe hours. I am not goins? to tell you how to cook ducks or to garnish your »alad. The cookery books will tell yon, the first aiad you know what to have in hot weather so as to save trouble and b >ther, For this reason, I re commend stewed fruit in glass dishes instead of fruit tarts. Very few men eat pastiy, but very few will refase stewed raspberries and currants, or stewed fruit of any kind. These are no trouble at all, fnt toe fmit cleanly picked in an ordinrry basin with about a quarter of a pound of sugirto each ponnd of fruit more or less according to taste. Cover the bisin with a plate and set it in a slow oven until it is done. That is all.

By ringing the changes on cold fiih, salads, cold poultry, and cold ioints,stowed fruits, custards and cold drinks ,you may manage to make the hot dars pass over on jovably Hntil the westerly winds bring rain and the need for hot dinners ag.»in.

Toil and Alcohol.

Liebic has something to say on this subject well worthy of deep consideration. '.' The use of spirits is 'not the cause bat an effect of poverty. It ii an exception from the rule when a well-fed man becomes a splrit driakcr. Oa the other haad, when the labourar earns by his work less than is re quired to provide the amount af food which i* indispensable in order to restore fully his workisg power, an unyielding, inexorable law of necessity compels him to have recourse to spirit*. He must work; but ia coiiicqueßce of insufficient food, a cer tiin portion of his working power is daily wanting. Spirits, by their action on tho nerves, enable him to make up the deficient power at tlie expense of hie bedy, to con sume to-day that quantity which ought naturally to have been employed a day later." Alcohol ia such concentrated form in a potent aid to tho a'ready existing ten dency 10 tissue degeneration. Wheo over wotk calls ia alcohol to iU help, the unholy a liancc qnick'y works the most disaatrom result*, and bung* tha organism swiftly to general decay, even when the evil results of deadly combination are not go marked, general deterioration is manifest in im paired power of labtur, in iufeior work, in lessened hours of toil, i'ho tendency is to saunter away working houra in the alo house ; partly because work is found se irk some that it i t pU-a'antto do nothing— perhaps worse than nothing; partly because the capacity to labour has been under mined. Ofcoui\3D, hce again, there is no uniformity ; one organism yields more rea dily than another. Toil and alcohol, and sometimes the alcohol, acd sometimes the alcohol with very little toil, sson reduce ODe map to the condition of a social pariah; while in another cass a hale old mm will be found who works hard every day— "never misses any time," his fellow work men any—yet who drinks dally an amount of spirits which would soon tell sorely on aa average person. But euch a case does not militate against the general soundness of the statement that overwork, combined with alcohol, is a sure and certain road to body-ruin. ■"■' ■- .;

Discovery of the temple of Diana.

AT aLtndon meeting to ra--se money;to com plete the excavations at Hpbesus, Mr Wood, the explorer, told how he discovered the famous temp!e. ho writings existed to afford him the slighest clue to tha where ab ;uta of this wonder of the ancient world. But he hit upon an inscription from the wall of that theatre to vbfch sit. Paul would have entered, '' but h's diciples suffered him not." Thi3 described a procession in which certain images wero carried from the temple through- tha city gates. After njuch search he found the gates, and then at length hit upon tha paved way, worn into groov.ea by the wheels of chariots. Little by little he made progress at the city of Kphesus until he reached the temple of the great goddess Diana. The fragments of friezes ana column drums give a glimmer ing idea of what the whole must have been. They are now in th,e British Mnseuity

FRIGHTFUL SUICIDE OF A YOUNG GIRL.

(From the Correspondent of the Daily Neivs ) Paris, October 5. The young girl who committed suicide yesterday at Notre Dame was probably impelled to do so by a love disspp >int meot. At 9 in the morning she was ob so'ved impatiently walking round the aisles, watching tho dooiv, as if expecting somebody who had appoin'ed to meet her She occasionally went into the close, aud often wistfully looked round. At 11 o'clock the verger saw her still in the church, and no iced her yetting into conveisatlon with an old woman, Independently of her refined beauty, there was something in her manner that excited h's curiosity, nnd he called ihe attention of the English cicerone to her. She asked the old woman to accept a dejeuner from her in a restaurant hard by. They both lunched together, and at 2 o'clook returned to see Paris from the tower. When they ascended there was a heavy downpour. Both went to take shelter in tbe watch man's aeutry-box. When they were there the yonng girl suddenly ran out, and after climbing on the parapet, flung herself forward. She fell on tho railing, the »pikos of which have the form of chisels They cut tho body in two, near the waist. The lower part fell backwards on the flags of the porch, and tho upper part stuck on the rails. A policeman ran to the morgue to fetch the dead-eatt. The head, on which a round hat remained, and the chest wore not disfigured, but quite blenched. The old woman said she talked at breakfast about saints who devoted themselves lo charity, and did not appear demented or even excited, She calculated the price of the dejeuner sbe wished to linve before she ordered it, and helped the old woman largely, but did not eat hearlily herself. There were GO francs in her pocket, but no paper of any kind. Hor drots was plain, neat, and ladylike, but her laced shoes were bad, and her stockings much darned. The letters "M.F." weie on her linen. Her hair wits of extraordi nary length, and arranged in two thick braids rolled round her head.

When and How to Tricycle.

In order to effect a long ride without severe fatißue, it is good, aud, indeed, right, to divide tho journey into easy Btages. From two to three hours ii long enough to work at one stretch, and fifteen to twenty miles is long enough for one ride. It is always wise in touring to take tho morning and evening for tho longest rides, and few en joyments equal a gentle spin along a pleas ant read by niooklight. Ido not think It is a sound plan to break suddenly through fixed physical habits bearing on bodily rest and bodily exorcise, and I would not, there fore, recommend tkotc who have arrived to teuturd life to alter their times for rest and work vory much, out of regard to Hio practieo of this new exorcise. If they are by habit early risers, I should say by all means take- lull advant-tgo of the first hours, and get the prime of the morning for tbe ride, get eighteen miles oat of the thirty six in a day's tour. Theu six or eight miles may be made in the course of the day, and the remaining ten or twelve when the tun is go:ng down, or, if there be a full moou, wbon the moon tms risen. B> this division, time is afforded as well for roat as for the pu.-po.e of becoming bottoracquainted with the history and character of the localities through which the journey is made. -Dr, B. \V. rtichardion, F.K.3., ia "Good Words."

The Panama Canal.

WHAT HAS BEBN DONK AND WHAT IS

BHNO DJNE BY THE KSGINBEKS. American-papers by the la->t Sao Fran cisco mail coutaia the following rdanmd of tho operations in tho work of canal con struction at Panama :—" Tbe operations have for some time past bseu principally directed to the completion of tho surveys along the lino of the canal. Thi< work, though prosecuted with all possible dis patch, has met with considerable vexatious delay in endeavouring to materially reduce the excavations after tbe ctntr-il line of the canal shall be determined, With this end in view, the regular engineer corps has beeu divided into exploring parties each having its designated locality for a field of operation?. The instructions invariably received ore to a" certain tho topography of the country along the main line of the canal 8B at present decided upon, note carefully the different acclivities co. conntered in the Immediate vicinity and their adaptability for stations. On the conclusion of th-se reseichcs a re port is Bubmitied to tho «>xecu'ivo Board at Panama, and by the comparison which is instituted a line is reached as a basis for future operations. Under the direction of Pedro Sosa, a prominent Colombia engi neer, excellent results lave bson arrived at, so that the excavations originally proposed havo been materially reduced, THB CENTRAL USB. la an interview with Jeronimo Ossa, a member of t vie engineer corps in Panama, and who arrived in this city by the la«t steamer, it was ascertain d that the sur veying had been finished, and tbat atten tion is now concentrated upon determining tho centre of the canal. The route of the canal has already been cleared of trees, and with the above exception everythiag is in readiness for the excava'ion to commence. In fact, a cont-ac: ha< already been given to excavato a di>tauce of eight miles, from Colon to Gatum, and it is exp e'ed tbat work will be commenced on Novembor Ist. The machinery to he used in this work i.« in process of construction, some of it await ing shipment from this city to New York. DAMMING THE OnACJRIW. ■ '. j The most important labour, Uut ef erec ting a dam at Gamboa on the Chagres river, engrosses tbe attention of the engineers. Over sixty kilometres of the rivei have been explored, and its affluents and currents studiqd. In another direc tion tracks have been laid: for the pur pose of carrying the excavated earth and stones to the proposed site *f tho dam, while along the whole rontc of tbe canal, from Colon to Panama, stations have been established. A large number of ware houses have also been Imi't. A commo dious hospital has been constructed upon an eminence in Panama for the benefit of the canal company's employds and placed under the direction ofcompeteotphysicians. An additional contract to tbat cit d above has been given for tho excavation of 87,000 cubic metres at Obispo, where a largo ware house will bo bailr, as well as additional shops to those already treated. It is now definitely settled that the canal wilt be completed within the time originally assigned. * Passing from the recent developments, Ssnor Ossa stated that business in Panama, under tha influence of the general ac ivity a'o ig the line of the canal, had largely increased, and that tbe labour ing classes experienced no lack of employ meut.

Darwin's Religious Beliefs.

It is reported that the life of Mr Darwin is to be shortly published, and that tome in teresting letters wilt be forthcoming in dicating hia views on the future state, and its bearing on evolution. lam able to say, however, that a letter of his to a student, who, having declared that a perusal of his works had shattered big faith, aud asked him to give him bis views on the subject, is not very satisfactory. It indicates rather an attitude of negation without arTirmn tion. He expressly disbelieves that any revelation has ever been made to man, but he ev&dos entering on tlr; crucial question of a continuity ot existence. The letter is very short, and rather irritable in tone. The " Spectator," oae of the ablest of the weeklies, points oat that, logically pursued, the theory of evolution leads to btlief in a future life, and it says, though on what authority I know not, that evolutionists and materialists are travelling different paths in this nutter. It oaks'the very per tinent and oft-repeated question—when the idea first originated ? It could not well bave grown up without a basis. A migratoiy bird confined in a cage is terribly distressed and uneasy when the proper (time of flight arrives and it is still a prisoner. That instinct, us evolu tionists admit, U giounded on experience handed down through gene-ations, and the "Spectator" asks, justly, why should uot the instinctive longing for the unseen world, which ha* marked the character of men tiom ai untold past, be based also on an experience acquired quite outside of and apart from our present surroundings? .*o one would believe in meteorites had they not dropped on our earth from interstellar ppaco, and why should not the idea of im mortality be also a thought dropped upon our minds from the untecn I— London correspondentof N.Z, "Times,"

ELOPEMENT OF Mrs. Wyndham Stanhope.

The many people who mot the lion, Wynd ham btauLope and his attractive wife (nee Camille Dubois) during their vibU to the Antipodes a few years ago will learn with interest that the lady U likely to become the beroiue of one ot lhs most sensational divorce suits that have enlivened London society for the pasc decade, Mrs Stanhope, >ou may remember, was an opera bouffe prima donna of fair ability, and during her stay ia Australia appeared on tho Mel bourne, and I rather thiok the JJunedin, stages with considerable success. She was also mado a good deal of ia Colonial society, and visited frequently at Government House, Melbourne, The story ot tho ezclancln ia told in "Vanity Fair" ot September 9th, with rather more frankness than is usual in such ensej, Tho writer says :—A tale of trust on the one side and of perfidy on the othtr has just come to its inevitable termination. Six years ago Mr Wyndbam Stauhopo, tbe gon of the late Lord Hiirring'on, was attracted by, fell in love with, and. married Miss Camille Dnbois, an aclros?. Mr Stanhope's family were not nnnaturully shocked when they learnt his misalliance, which tbey did some time after it had taken place; but being Kood, kindly people, they ended by_ accept ing tho situation, and by leceivkg Mrs Wyndham is one of the family. Now mark the result as a warninjj to tho.e who would go to the stage for a Wife. Last winter Mr Wyndham Stanhope, whoEe health was weak, was living at Madeira with his wife. To Madeira came one Lieut. Walter Adyo, of the Kitlea, fresb. from Zululaud. It ap pears to have occured to Lieut. Adyo that it would be amusing to debauch the wife of Mr Stauhopo, and, having made'fricads with the latter, ho frequented his hou?o, and was found to bo " going about" with Mrs Stanhope so much as to causa gossip, which finally reached her huebaud's ears. Mr Stanhope, however, would "not listen to a wvrd against tho wife he trusted, and dis missed at once tho tales that were brought to him as unworthy to ba entertained, Then Lieutenant Adye loft Mndeira f u r Kngluud, and some Uiue after, Mrs Wynd- Uaui Stanhope informed her husband that her father was ill, and that she must go to England. Accordingly she went, leaving her husband, who was unable to face tbe English spring, to follow later on. Later on accordingly ho followed, and was joined by his wife, with -whom he went to stay with hia mother, Lady Barrington, at Cowcs. The prejudice against her had worn away, she seemed much attached to her husbeind, and everybody at Cowes de sired to be and waa very civil to her. One day, however, Mr Stanhope found among some papers a copy of a telegram from "Mrs A aye to Lieutenant A dye," appoint ing to meet him ia London. This telegram Mrs Stanhope, after some vain denials, ad mitted having Ecnt, and admitted further that she had met Lieutenant Adyo in London, and had lunched with him. Oo her protestations, and tear;, and promises never to see tho man again, Mr Stanhope forgave her, and things resumed their wonted course. But a fortnight ago she again said she must go to London to see her father, who wa* ag lin unwell. She weot— not to lur lather, but to meet Mr Adye, with whom she proceeded to an hotel, where the pair took up their abode in the most natural way in tho world, while tho lady was all the time telegranhiug to her husband at Cowes (o keep him in hi* un suspecting frame of raiud. Tho adventure wm, however, d icoreied, and instead oi returning, as she intended, to Cowes, the lady has boon informed that sho and her friend will be brought at once into tie Divorce Court, In these matters I always hold that the chief fault lies on the side of tho woman, ia whose encouragement the intrigue almost always begins. Jiat in the present instance it teems to me that (Mr Adye's conduct was also altogether dis g.nceful—for he made a friend of the in valid husband, and tbcu used the privileges of friendship to debauch the wifo. Hia caeu ia ono that requires othu- attention from all ri»ht-miudc(i men than evcu that it will probably obtain ia the _ivo:ce Court.

The Princess of Wales.

Wiikn the Prince of Wales was beiog praytd for in every church and chapel in the Empire, during his serious illness a few years ago, some good-natural people west about saying that " the Princess wag bear ing up wonderfully well -not shedding n tear, Wliat a brave little woman she is 1" Our Christian friends belonged to that un happily not voy limited class of people who are unable to sea beyond tho length of thilr noses, and, of course, they were utterly unable to understand th»t there a'O some highly rclinnd over sensitive porsooß whom a great griet strikes absolutely dumb Tears would be an iaexpressible relief, but the tears won't come—they are frozen, evtn as the hca-t itse'f ulmoit cea>.cs to throb.

It hm been said a hundred thousand times, but I will venture, with the deepest respect, to say it yet once aguin : the I'rineo of Wales could not have found a better wife, had he searched the whole <vorld over, than this Danish lfoie, " the apple of our eye," as her admiring country-ptoplo eel' her. By common consent she is placed beyond the lotion of criticism. "What the Prince does " is the talk every night at the Marlborough and tbo "Hag," nnd at a score of the minor clubs, where H.R.H. is praised or criticised, according to tbo par tiality of the critic ; but the Rcod taste cf " What the Prince.«s does " ii never chal lenged. Ths Koyal Lady is, indeed,p'aced on a pinnacle for all the world to admire and reverence. Pcop'e often utjed to cay, " What sort of a Court do you think we shall have under the next regime?" The query was not unnatural, peroaps, a few joaisago; but now tho future King ha?, it may be safely presumed, BO.vn all his " wild oats ;" and, evea if he had not, the ooutrolltnt; power of the Princess must necessarily be so great as to preclude tlia possibility of tbe entourage deteriorating; in moral liliro

It is seldom that ono hears what, are called"stories" apropos of tho Princosa of Wales; but one incident, narrated to a writer in this journal and published herein some years ago, m»y bo again noted for the benefit of the present generation of readers. "A friend of ours, an Austrian General, was staying at Sandiinghara, and, one evening, while saying 'good night' to his Royal host, he slipped, fell, aud sprained his ankle ; the accident, of courte, necessi tating bis staying in bed for several days. Well, not only the Prince called personally several times a day to ask how he was, but tbe Princess came every day reguhrly, and would sit by his bedside readiiiß aloud to divert the patient's mind from his net voub suffering.

Her figure, svelte and supple, is the ono with which we compare that of all the most beautiful women in both hemispheres; and that traveller has not yet returned home with tbe Informa tion that he has seen nny form more "divinely fair" than tbat of tho Heir- Apparent's consort. Only onca has a shadow came over their happy' married life—that was when little Alexander, their third son, died within four-nnd-twenty hours after his binh. May tbeir future be as their past has been—a dream of golden happiness and prosperity ! —linglish paper,

Army Carrier Pigeons.

THE " Englishman " gives some Interesting particulars ot the training of carrier pigeons for military purposes m India:—" Experi ments with homing pigeum for military purposes have been mado in India with more or less intermi- sion for 'the last five years. Last year Mjor Henuell's pro posals for establishing a loft for breeding and training homing piyeons wore sanc tioned, and the pigeons are beiufj trained between Simla and Ambjlo. Birds com mence their training when three months old, and tbeir preliminary flights vary from two to five miles. These distances are in creased to 150 or 200 miles wi h some days' iutervjl between the flights, and lor its first year a young bird i< not taken boyocd the latter distance, Wheu three years old a pigeon attains its fu'l vigour, and remains in strength from two to three years, when it bgins lo decline. So far .as the experiments in India have yet gone they are completely success ful, and the Intelligence Department of the Indian Army js likely soon to be in posses sion of a flock ot trained and acclimatised birds crossed with the'best of the indigenous racing pigerns of India, which will be able to cover the. distances over which they have been trained with the speed and certainty of the best European breeds,"
