"Been Out with the girls, and I have come home sober, which is more than can be said of some folks I know." "Maria, this is no time for trifling.

"Cousin Kate." " And did she go back alone ?" f' No she wouldn't come in, so I walked back with her, and Cousin John came back with her and me." "And did it take you till tezr o'clock at night to do that gadding about ?" cross- questioned Mr. Jones.

Wing RM, A Wife Vatting Ciaim Support from Rer Husband and Refuse to Live with Rim. The appeal case of Robertson vs Robert- son came up before Chief Justice Galt and JusticeablacMahon and Rose agt. Toronto _yeaterday. - Oscar and. An Jane Robertson are man and vvife, and until 1890 resided in Waterford, Ont. In that year they moved to Pontia.c, Ill. About the end of the same year the couple visited the home of the hua- band's parents at Waterford, and after a stay of a few days Mr. Robertson re- turned to Pontiac, while Mrs. Robertson went to Cayuga to spend two weeks, as she told her husband, with herrelatives in that town. Since then, however, the wife hos not returned to Pontiac and the husband refused to support her unless she did. Last Christmas Robertson made another visit to Waterford and while there his wife had him arrested for desertion and non-support. He was taken to Cayuga, tried before Judge Upper and sentene,ed to three months in the Haldimand county jail. The defendant ap- pealed yesterday and their lordships quashed the conviction on the following grounds: (1) That Robertson had offered to support his wife if she returned to him; (2)that the proper place for a wife is at her husband's side, and the husband is not bound to support her unless she lives with him; (3) that a ditizen of the United States cannot be sued in Canada for non-support of his wffe. .4 Kissing for a Wager. Mr, W. A. Mestayer, the American comedian, is exceedingly fond of practical jokes. . Coming east recently from Chicago he. fell in with a email coterie of jolly good fel- lows in the buffet•car, and after they had knocked the gold seals from several bottles, they felt equal to anything. Then it was that Mestayer arose, and said : "1 want to kiss a pretty woman !" A roar of derisive laughter greeted this announcement. "You fellows may laugh,"said Mestayer, "but Lam going into that drawing -room car and shall 'kiss the prettiest woman I see in it !" There was another howl of derision. "I'll bet you $20," retorted Mestayer. "I'll take you !" said one, "and see that you get a decent burial." Thenthey followed silently, while Me - stayer strodeinto the car, and stood for a mornent gazing up and down. ' In a moment he . made his choice, and 'walked softly towards a parlor chair in whose velvety "embrace lay a slender, wil- lowy, feminine form. The sleeper was very pretty,, and a soft flush suffused a very tempting cheek. Then, while the crowd, half repentant, edged back to the door, Mestayer leaned over the chair and lciesed the steeping woman, as Swinburne. would have said, full upon:the two lips. Of course there was'a sharp scream, and one Member of the party reaubed back to his hip pocket. But -when the- young lady looked up, she merrily remarked: " Why, William, what Made 3 ou do that?" It was Theresa Vaughan, Nlestayer'e wife. A Romantic Scotch marriage. • 'A marriage, with which is associated more than the URDA degree ofromance, was celebrated in Edinburgh recently, the bride being a descendant of the last Earl of Sea - forth, and the bridegroom a crofter belong- ing to Ross -shire.

The bridegroom was Duncan Mackay, Beirinish, 'West ROWS, who farms a croft on Sir Ken- neth Matheson's estate of Lochalsh. Mr. Mackay is a well-known man in the district to which he belongs, having taken a promi- nent part loeally in the land reform move- ment. Being much above the average crofter in point of education, he has been rather a. prominent leader in public matters in the Lochalsh district. For several sum- mers past Miss Anstrnther has resided at Plock ton, Lochalsh, and it was while there that she met Mr. Mackay. • a oats as a Brain Food.

The dispute between Sir ThVas 31c11. wraith, premier and treasurer of Queeni- land, with the Bank of England hattbrought out an unhappy but characteristic display of temper from the Australian statesman.. It seems that Sir Thomas has made up his mind, on what he considered as a settle& understanding, that if Queensland did noti succeed in securing a loan by the 1st of July, the bank would advance a sum of about $6,000,000. The bank, it seems, took e. different view of the Matter, and thereupotp, Sir Thomas McIlwraith said it had acted ale no honeet hank would act and that if any. body trusted it, he would be sold. As the controversy developed, the hasty statesmate acknowledged that he had been mistaken, but excused his language by saying that it was only a manner of speaking to which' Scotchmen, were not unaccustomed. Thie refusal to admit himself in the wrong lute brought down ors Sir Thomas McIlwraith the anger of the Times, which considers that the'original offence against the bank has .been aggravated by a slur cast upon North Britons, Sir Thomas /vIcIlwraith is an able politieian, but he has his failings, one of which is quickness of temper, and it seems that his boasted firmness sometimes takes the shape of obstinacy.—Montreal Gazette.

KEELEY, of Dwight, lectured in Philadelphia last week before the Bi -Chloride of Gold Club, of that city, on his novv celebrated gold cure for drunken- ' ness. Among other things the doctor said It was about thirty years' ago that it first occurred to me thatdrunkenness was a dis- ease and sho'uld be treated rationally as other diseases. For sixteen years I worked hard,, experimenting for some remedy that vvould. bread up•the rythro of inebrity. My discovery of the bi-chloride of gold as a fipeCifIC for the disease of drunkenness and morphine liabit was made fourteen years ago and proclaimed! . to the world but was entirely ignored by the medical profession. Dr. Keeley laid .particular stress upon his position that there was no difference between inebriety, typhoid fever and any other germ disease caused by germ poison. He denied heredity in drunkenness, which he said was a disease of acquirement by cultivation and that there was but one cause fon it—alcohol. He alluded to the manner in which appetite for . alcohol, mote phine opium and chloral waft often con- tracted through being prescribed by phytei-, sieians during the illness of their patients' and said it remamed entirely with the physician what that man should be. if, there be heredity in drunkenness why •were not the daughters, as well as the sons, afflicted? Dr. Keeley said that after rive • years of treatment he concluded that•he wanted a better remedy and closed his doors and they remained closed until 1887, when he re -opened them, since whi*Ch time he had Cured 16,00eateDw1ght. 1I.;I30,000. , by the home, treatment, and 12,000 in the . forty institutes scattered throughout the cOuntry.
