AN IMPORTANT CASE DECIDED IN AN ENGLISH COURT. “What s a cousin?” Is the latest of the many mysterious issues submitted to the decision of the Britishcourts at law. A dictionary would answer it off hand; but a dictionary might find itself over- ruled, ag the late Mr. Justice Pearson has just deen by a court, consisting of no less than three eminent lords Justices, Cotton, Bowen and Fry. ‘The London Times tells’ the story thus: A lady, tt appears, died, leasing a bequest to her “cousin, arriett Cloak.” Now, there were two Harriett Cloaks, or rather a Harriett that had been a Cloak, but had married and ceased to be so called, and a Harriett that had not been a Cloak, but had become one by marriage. The testatrix’s cousin, Thomas Cloak, In fuet, had a wile called’ Harriett and & sister Harriett, who, Aiter & short Interval, | When the wilt was made, had already for some the fair ones bad departed, | ¥ ose again and sald, addressing the | Mrs. Crane.

Hew the Groom Hugged the Wreng Woman While Passing Through a ‘Tunnel. ‘From the Pittsburg: Penny Press. Capt. George Kinney, who owned the canal boat Onondaga, had his share of the happy couples ‘whose wedding tours on the canal always for the time being exerted what now would be called a ctvilizing influence on everybody on the boat. It 1s related that away back in the '40’'sa big mill- worker and his bride took passage for Blairsville. He was young and strong and appeared to be deeply infatuated with his wife and she with htm, so that they were seldom away from each other. ‘The bride's hair was as red as hair could well be. It happened that there was a middle-aged market ‘woman on the boat whose appearance resembled that of the bride. They seemed to bedrawn to- gether by sympathy and it was not long before po etareaee mill-worker, deprived of the exclu- sive soctety of his. ride intimated by various that he wanted his bride to confine her attention tohim alone. ‘The market woman saw what he wanted, and with that contrariness for which some market women of those days—red-headed market women especially—were more or less celebrated, she resorted to all sorts of clever devices to vex the stalwart groom and increase his annoyace. He intimated in words polite, but unmistakable in their meaning, that he wanted his bride to come away from thé market woman, DUt, she Was ap parently too much interested in the subjeot of their conversation. Finally he,on the plea of showing his bride some notable ‘landmark along the canal, induced her to accompany him to the hurricané deck. Near Petes, canal took a short cut by tunnel through the hill. It is not a very tong tun. nel, and not infrequentiy candles were not lighted wi the ‘was being made. The mill- worker and his bride were soon driven below, much to the annoyance of the stalwart groom. When the boat entered the tunnel the groom, who was walking about, sat down beside what he thought was his wife, but it was the mntddle-aged market woman. What took place 18 not a matter of authentic history, but when the boat completed its passage through the tunnel very su , the market woman shouted: “Take your arms away from me, sir. Such con- duct in a new married man 1s awful, and I'd have a divorce if it was me,” she screamed, attracting the attention of all thé people in the boat. “why, I thought—” began the confused mill- worker, “I know better,” she shouted; the bride to ery, the captain’ hearing the tumult went below and threated to pitch the mill-worker overboard, but Was restrained by respect for the latter's strength and the pleadings of the woman. Peace Was gradually restor and the market woman put everybody ina humor by lamenting the absence of additional tunnels, Pastimes of Japanese Children.

As he alighted Burns drew aheavy knife witha blade nearly five inches in length. As Richards turned to assist hin from the hack the knife was raised and pl with great force into the bosom of the « Samart- tan.” The blade penetrated within an inch of the heart. ‘The horses became unmanageable and ran away.

A CHEMIST COMES TO THE AID OF THE PROBIBITION- IBTS WITH 4 NEW OREATION. From the Evening Poot. For several years a New York chemist has been experimenting with a view to depriving alcoholic Uquors of their tntoxtoating principle. According to this gentleman, the intoxicating principle 18 the ether, or combinations of ether, which remain in aloohol even after the fusel oll has been care- fully extracted; ether, in combination with cer- tain gums that give whisky and brandy their characteristic oders and some of their qualities has never been eliminated heretofore withou wholly destroying the liquor as a medicinal or ex- hilarating beverage. ‘The process by which the ethers or combinations of ether with the gums held in solution are eliminated 18 a secret one for Which the inventor expects to be rewarded should the process come into general use, None of the treated whisky has been offered for sale; as yet the distillers look upon the invention with ex- treme distrust, if not absolute enmity, for if, as one distiller retnarked, much of this tamed whisky should get into the market it might destroy, the reputation of any quantity of the real article; It would be enough vo disgust an old toper with whisky for life vo discover that half a bottle of It had no moreeffect_upon him than a few glasses of beer. He would at once infer that noting short of vitriol Would be of further use to im, or that whisky distillers had lost thetr cunning. ‘In eltuer case he would give up drinking whlsky, ‘The inventor, though not a drinktng man, pro- fesges to have mhade thls dettherized Whiske almost constant beverage for several years, and to have experienced no ill effects whatever. One day last week he drank three-quarters of & quart bottle, experiencing no other result than pleas- ant exhilaration; Half a glassful of ordinary whis- key would, he says, have laid him out upon the oor, Ths chemistry “of Intoxication, aecordin, tomany experiments with whiskey before an after this secret treatment, is that in the analysis to which the whiskey 1s submitted by the stomach, the ethers affect the brain and are solely respons ble for dizziness and intoxication, while the fo material in the alcohol goes to enrich the blood and stimulate the body with arapidity unequalled in the case of solld food. After many months. of careful experiment the inventor also believes that his harmless whiskey retains every particle of the material which is of value in whiskey or brandy, ag aimedicinal agent, and he professes. to have made some remarkable cures by means of deéthe: led whiskey ; 9 long-standing case of chills aa ver Was Cul after every other Temedy had failed. Gam au ‘The inventor believes that in making this dis- sprary he as done a great work for the prohibi- tionists,inasmuch as whiskey aftersuch treatment may be regarded a8 nothing more or less than food of @ highly nutritious and valuable kind, and under this bellet_he has attempted to obtaia the approbation of ‘the leading prohibition advocates. Untortunately, he does not seem to have been suc cessful. He says that the Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby treated him “itke a nigger,” and seemed to take his visit and his bottle of willsky as a personal in- sult, Dr. Crosby referred him with extreme warmth to the chemists, and ‘said that he had nothing todo with the scientific aspects of the quesilon. With other of the temperance cause hé met with no better luck. Upon the other hand, the liquor dealers whom he asked to test his whisky were unanimous in de- Rouncing it as a fraud. “As whisky it was not worth five cents a gallon after de-etherization, whatever value it might have as a temperance drink, and one proiinent expert tn liquors declafed to the inventor that no liquor dea 4a the clty would dream of placing the Stuff before his patrons, first, because the patrons wanted to get drunk, and stcondly, because the liquor dealer Wanted them to do so. No more indignant assem- bly could be imagined than the soctaf circle atany of our grog shops attempting a New Year's cele- bration on this tamed whisky. A prominent whisky taster who was asked for his professional opinion upon the merits of the stuff as a dri sald that 1t had no merits; 1t had lost its “bite,” and any whisky drinker before whom a bottle or ‘such stuff was placed woutld be justified in throw- ing the bottle at the bartender. Altogether the prospects of introducing tamed whisky as an article of commerce are not brilliant, and the inventor confesses that no capitalists have appeared ready to manufacture the article upon @ large scale. ‘The process 1s cheap, and Would not apprectably increase the cost of ‘alco- holle Mquors; the elimination of the ethers in whisky would amount to about five per cent of the alcohol contained therein. How Jones Got Off. From the San Francisco Chronicle. I ghess young Jones will get on. He's in an office on Callfornia street, or somewhere there abouts. He's careless and had made so many ints- takes that he knew the one he made last would be fatal.

He ran down stairs and up the street as hard as he could go to a florist's. ‘There he purchased a luie 16ent Doutonniere and marched gayly back. “Mr. Jones!” came in a loud tone from the private office as he entered. “Yes, sir,” and he deposited his hat» hid the flower in his coat, walked into the rivate office and closed the door carefully. “Mr, Jones, Ihave frequentiy———"-“I beg your pardon ‘ir, Dut I have a private measage for you.” Mi Jones, you've been—a private message! whatisit ls touie changed as Jones quietly iild the ower on the desk before him. “What is this?” “It's a Uttle bouquet.

I need hardly add. gause of all the commotion was Mr. Thom: Stevens on his bicycle, who had arrived, after o of the most trying and erential of his tours, some 1 than he had expected. In an terview I had with him he gave me the following account of his journey : Starting from Canton on October 13, I had ex- Pocted to reach Kiuklang inside of twenty days, mut calculations, based on my experience In other countries, failed me entirely in China. I found it Thad traverse, bork ar Bees fosae! peop aes ra as. ple, ac. commodation and experience generally. Tt would be little exaggeration to say that the only roads in south China (the north may be a little different) are the rivers, and no exaggeration whatever to Say that the only proper way to travel is with a boat, in which one can live as in a house. Strictly speaking there are no roads at all, as we under- stand the term; only narrow footpaths leading here, there and’ everywhere, and yet nowhere in partlcular; an intricate maze of tracks about the Tice flelds, in which a stranger finds himself hope- lessly bewildered to commence with, and invari- ably lost at last. ‘The first day out fromCan' after traveling, I should think, thirty miles, I found myself ih a village about thirteen miles out. Neither are these pathways of that asphalt-like smouthness of surtace for which an experienced cycler naturally yearns, who sees the pleasant au- ‘umn Weather lually Silding past, and the dis- ‘ance ahead still great. On contrary, bowl. ders and rough slabs of stone, once laid level, but now more often sloping: ‘at angles, that render them precarious footing for anything but a goat, or @ barefooted Chinaman, are the chief charac- teristics, In addition to this, they are often not more than two feet wide, and often rise several feet above the waving paddy; so.that traversing them is a feat really equal to thé performance of walking on a wall, Under these circumstances a peretn een pas ot rae ae, his nieve for a “pazia ler,” je purp ee v Lg . ha ze a ersevered for four hoping the roads would improve; at the end of Which ime I arrived in @ country where there were no paths, no paddy fields, oniy the Pe-kiang river, and the rocky moun- tainssloping to the water's edge. A sampan would take me down stream and back to Canton in three days, Ah! but the good people at home (some of them) wouid say “Poon! he was afraid to go through; the badness of the roads is only a conven- jent excuse.” As it would never do to give the good people at héme the opportunity of thinking this, I concluded togo through to Kiukiang and Shanghai the best way possible. Four days, poling, rowing and towing on a little sampan to Chao-choo-f00, and tour more with cooiles carrying the bicycle, brought me over the Mceling Pass and into the province of Kang-tse, Striking the headwater of the Kan-kiang river at Nanhung, I might have comedown stream all the way to the Poyang Hoo. I found the paths in Kiang-tse, however, quite an improvement on those of Quang-tung, and bicycled Way down to Kin-gan-ivo, far, Lhad got along without serious trouble with thé people.’ Kan-tchou-foo, | had been told, Was a rey. city to visit; but I trundled the bicy- Cee it om ane Gs to the Cea a middie of a surging, shouting crowd, and, beyon getting my helmet knocked off @ few ‘times, Was offered no indignities, Ta-ho was the first city where the authorities saw At to favor me with an escort; they sent @ couple of soldiers with me to Kin-gan-foo. ‘They evidently knew what they were about; for I should have fared badly had I Feached Kii-gan-foo alone not knowing the direct Toad to Yamen. ‘The soldiers betrayed anxtety as We approached the city; the mob collected, and while yet several hundred yards from the Yamen the stones began to come, and wild yells for the Fankwae rent the air. Missiles that would have knocked me senseless had I been wearing an ordl- nary hat only made dents in the big pith solar topee I had worn through India, and which effect ually pence my head and shoulders; I escaped into the Yamen with but a few trifling Druises and one spoke broke out of the bicycle; but one of the soldiers got badly hurt on the arm, prob- ably a fractured bone. The soldiers warned them that I was armed, and until we reached the outer Yamen gaté they confined them- selves to yelling and throwing stones. Several then rushed forward and seized the bicycle: but the officers came to the rescue and hurried me into the Che-hsien’s office. It was pandemonium broke loose around the Yamen gates all the even- ing, the mob howiing for the “foreign devil,” the shouts of the soldiers keeping them at bay and the officers loudly expostulating and haranguing them from time to Ume asthe din seemed to be increas Proclamations were sent out by the Che-hsien, and toward midnight the mob had Mnuily dispersed. I was then placed aboard a sampan, and with a guard of six soldiers, spirited off down the stream, After this the authorities never allowed me to travel by bicycle, but passed me on down stream by boat from town to town, under guard, untill we reached Wu-ching on thé Poyang Hoo, when, by much persuasion, I ob- tained permission to take a short cut across the country to Kiuklang: but still with an escort, To this account the Shanghai Courter of No- vember 18 adds: “Mr, Stevens, after seeing the British consul at Kiukiang took passage In the steamer Peking, and arrived here this forenoon.” How to Retain Youthful Looks. New York Correspondence Philadelphia News. “How young she looks!” “How does she man- age toconceal the marksot age?” Who has not heard these phrases fitting about the auditorium of a theater when some long popular actress is on the boards? The questioners are not always ladies, but as a rule the ladies are most vitally in- terested in the problem suggested. How can one prevent age from showing fiself in the face, and what is the secret of the actresses’ long-endiring youth? As to the latter, it 1 hardly worth while to pay much attention tot, I think, for the art of making up for the stage 1s quite a different matter from that of making up for the drawing room. In the one case the artist can make use of broad, sug- estive touches; in the other everything must bear an elaborav® finish, So there are two styles of painting in vogue in faclal embellishinent as Wellas Inpictorlalart, But know something much better than painting for preserving yoututul ap- pearance in the face.

Instead of rubbing the face down In Washing and wiping, always rub upward. This will have the effect of counteracting the influence of the flesh to depart from under the cuticle, and will keep the face free from wrinkles, It 13 rather an awkward habit to acquire at first, but Verance will make {ta second nature, and the re- sult is worth many pains. ‘This exercise 18 de- signed particularly for the benefit of the eyes and the upper portion of the cheeks, For the lower and middle portion, where hollow- ness 1s often noted rather than’ wrinkles, but sometimes Doth, tere fs another plan.
