In thirty years the proportion of Protes- tants to Catholics in Ireland bas changed; then it was 22 to 78, now it is 94 to 75. The Queen's preferences are now said to be toward Devere, the Irish poet, for the vacant laureateship. A pauper named Sheridan, who,had been an inmate of Lambeth Workhouse for sever- al yeare, has come iuto a fortune of '300, 000 by the death of an aunt.

Nowspa'per complaints are frequently heard in London of late with regard. to the outrageous practice of certain undertakers who send insinuating cireulars to families in which there are cases of serious illnese, in two cases the anticipatory uudertakers have been threatened with a thrashing for the cold-blooded zeal. The Queen has approved the appointment of it Royal Commission to inquire into the lands evailebleand suitable for the extension of crofters' holding in the counties of Argyle, In verness,Ross and Cromerty,'Suth. erland.

In the event of Homo Rule, the governors are said to be uilling to allow the first session of the Irish Parliament to be held in whet was the House of Peers. But it is more likely that provision will be made in may Home Rule Bill for the compulsory acquisition of a building with such historic associations as this has. It is in contemplation to ereet four addi- tional Potestaet churches in Belfast as soon as possible for the accotnmodation of the much increased church population of the city and suburbs, and several handsome subscriptions for the purpose have been already handed in. Ireland cannot complain of receiving scant justice in India, whatever she may say about the lluited Kingdom. Two Gov. ernors-General in succession and two com- manders.in-Chief in succession is not a bad record—for Sir George White is an Irish- man, hailing fromUlster.

The year now closing has been one of the dullest experienced in She shipbuilding trade in Aberdeen for it considerable time. Thirteen vessels have • been launched, as compared with twelve in 1891 ; but the ton- nage is only about a half of that turned out the previous year, most of the craft built being trawlers. The outlook for 1893 is not encouraging. The severity of British justice was well illustrated at Northampton recently, where a trial for murder was in progress. The jury having been permitted to partake of a lunch in their room, one of their number profited by the opportunity to step out of doors and post'. a letter. The judge, to whom the act was reported, Iftomptly gave the offending juror a, sharp lecture and fined him $250. He dismissed the jury and 1101V One was empaneled.

Whittlesey Mere, which was formerly She ierge lake in England, and which was drained about forty years ago by the late Mr. Wells, is re-forming, and Lord de Ram- sey, to whom it now belongs, is taking adequate steps to prevent such a calatnity, by providiug anew nutfall. The eause of the re.fornaing of the lake is a serious sink- ing in the bold (nearly 10,000 acres), width was the bed of the old More.

There is a wonderful grapevine v.t a town in southern France. Although the plant is only ten years from the cutting, it ham yielded es many as 1287 bunches of fine fruit in it single year. There its but 0110 other vine in cultivation that is Ithown to excel this prolifie shrub, and that is the historical vine at Hampton Court, England, which was planted in 1768. In one year this noted vine hoe borne 2500 bunches. The fruit from this vine is kept for the exclusive USO of Queen Victoria and her household, the surplus being made into wine for the stone purpose. Captain Perkes, of the steamship " Lace sok, voyagingbetween Hongkong and Shang- witneesed during the recent gales in that quarter the phenomenon (which hes oftenbeen described) of thousands of birds and insects width had got into the.vortex. of the storm, and were being driven hither and thither, apparently stunned and one°. lose with buffeting they had received. Many of the birds fell tameless an the deck and ley quite still, while the insects, though alive, seemed to have lost the power to sting. A haunted or suppoeitiously haunted ten- ement is at present Own talk in Paris . A family occupied an apartment in the Rue de he Sourdiere, and part of the kitchen which was very large, had been lately used AS it bedroom by it relative WII0 WAS in Paris on a visit, The sleeping chamber thus con- trived was divided from the kitchen by a partition. A few evenings ago, the visitor was awakened by a tretnendoue din in the kitchen, and on proceeding thither, she found that all the pots and pans had been thrown from their pegs on the floor. The next oight the glass of the partition was smashed, a heavy deal dresser was over- turned, and some ahareotil that was on the stove had fallen into the middle of the kitehen. An architect was called in, but he could give no explanation of the mys- tery. An Armenian nun battiest died in a con- vent at Jerusalem who was certified by the registers of the community to which she belonged to have attained the age of 115 years. She entered the convent when she was 17, and during the subsequent 98 years did not once cross Its threshold. Medieval piety which set forth complete ignorance of the world we live in as one of the chief qualifications for sanctity, could surely ask 110 more than this. Very few who have visited Jerusalem would contemplate A res- idence of 98 years in that eity with joy, even with the privilege of remaining alt that time immured in ihe cloisters of it con- vent. 'We Ixasi a double shot -gun, nuzzlesloadeia arid a Sharp's rifle, arsd both, put off after the dogs, who were about 300 yards away. -Our surprise was great when we found they treed is yearling bear in a hollow stump. One shot did the business. He was very fat, and our New Year's dinner was provid- ed, anyway. Not an hour After, Prevost shot it Canticle lynx, almost as largo AS the bear. In fact, this WAS is hunters' paradise, and during the day we saw on the opposite side of the lake no hoe than seven deer. By night the shanty had been made com- fortable the hay making good beds. Plenty of wood was cut, and water brought from the lake and supper cooked. Outside it was getting very cold, but as bright as day, the moon being nearly full. Smoking our pipes and. telling stories filled up the time until 10 o'clock, when suddenly, the oldest dog, with, his heir bristling, and growliug, made for the door. " What's the matter, Mance?" said Pre- vost. " Hold on ; don't let him get out. Don't you hear the noise oetside—them's timber wolves." Sure enough, that low howl, which once tithed is never forgotten, was coming down the wind, and there seemed to be a pack. No wild animals are more deugerous when they are together, One Will seldom attack a mem but a hungry half-dozen are de- cidedly ugly to meet. While we were hold. ing in 0110 dog the other two got out through a hole under the, window that WAS merely stuffed with hay, and that was the lest we ever sew of them. From the foot of the hill the ground sloped down to the lake as even as a ;madder'and this was covered with snow that untler the moon- betons shone like a sheet of silver, and, not much bigger then Miela in the distance, we sew the pack ranniee single file. "Now, Phil," said Prevost, "we must shoot winter, and not weete uur antenna - tion. They smell the blood of that bear and cat, and will stay around till mornina I never thought to spend Now Year's Eve fightin'^tinaber wolves." There was no glass in the window, which was merely a hole out in the loge, A tre- mentions yelling was heard but was over Boon. Our untortunate dogs were done for, and it was fortunate ilia we secured- Chence in time. He knew what was going on out- side, and tried to dash through, the window —and now the brutes scented us and halted, all but one slinking. into the low brush. I leaned my rifle. against the logs and took it long sight aud fired and could see the bell making hate jumps on the surface of the hard snow, a clean miss. A Sharp's rifle lies great penetrating force, but always fires high and for this I dal not allow. We soondiscovered what principally at - treated the marauders. The body of the fax lay not ten feet from the shanty, and no animal either lame or wild makes so strong it scent. Inside of twenty minutes one big fellow, grey on the back, it sure sign of age, made a dash for the body of Reynard and got a load of buckshot that finished him at once. Another tried, it and had his back broken by a ride bullet. I was not over ten yards front him. The rest left for the timber thirty yards away and howled dismally. We now resolved to stood guard by turns, as we could not believe that the vicious brutes would storm the shanty ; so I lay down after building up the fire. How long I slept I can't say, but was awakened by the yelling of the dog and Provost crying The Deadly Cross of Corsica. Tbe cross is a threat of death, and the Corsican who finds it drawn upon his door knows that he must look for no quarter. In decrees forbidding the carrying of arms in certain dietriets exception is officially made in the case of nersons notoriously en dal el'inintitie. "I'l'el vendetta neither sleeps nor knows when to stop. It is not confined to two persons. The quarrels of individuals are taken up by whole families. Not even collateral branches are exempt, and women must take their chances with the men. Indeed, revenge is more artistic- ally complete when the blow falls upon the beautiful and •gifted. In 1850 one Joseph Antoine injured a girl named Sanfra,nchi. Thirty years passed and the story was for- gotten, but on August 14, 1886, the nephew of Sanfranchi encouutered Antoine on per- haps the first occasionhe had ventured. from hie house. He shot the man clown like a dog. Threatened persons remain shut up for months, or even years, in their houses, built, as all Corsican houses axes like a fort- ress.

In the district of Sartene bands of armed men are sometimes met with in the road. It is a man 811 inimitie traveling from one village to another. The vendetta between the Rocchini and the Tafan resulted in the death of eleven persons and the execution of one of the principal criminals. In this extraordinary: ease two entire families took to the maquis and waged guerilla war upon each other. Each in turn was assieted by getalarmerie, who had made disgraceful al - 'fame with the bandits in ,order to effect their arrest. . . Contrary to custom' some of these bandits became brigands. Asa rule persons ontside their quarrel are never molested by them. They are merely outlaws. .The Rocchini who was guillotined in 1888 Oh e first execu- tion in many years) boasted that he was only 22 and , had killed seven persons with his own hand .

An Enterprising Burglar. A professional burglar in Berlin has found a new and eriginal way of adding to the ordinary profits of his profession. After each burglary he sent a full account of it to. one of the daily newspapers, and for this he received payment in the usual way. 33ut he tried his plait once too often.

One of the most remarkable eaees that ever pezzled the medical freternity isthat of Jacob Ritten, who left Minneapolis ou November 18 in charge of two atteadents for treaerneut at a Boston psychological iustitete. Bitten was a eouple of months ago adjusted insane by the Omaha Commis - more. Dr. Chtreaoe Miner pronouuced him to be in a hypnotic condition, but other- wise in perfeet health, As this has been the verdict of no less than half a dozen ex- perts within the last year, it was determin- ed by the relatives of the patient to take him to a psythological hospital and see what could be done towards restoring hint to his former self.

Batten described to The World cor- respondentthe personal manners of Pooleiny, whom he charade doe as a " pretty shrewd sort Of a guy." He says the people whn are now claiming relationship with him have no ritibt whatever to the title. The first time he ever saw them was when he eseap- ed from a museum in Philadelphia three years ago. He was brought over from Egypt by Prof. Haggin, the Egyptologist, he says, and was couscious from the firet moment the lid was taken off the sarcophagus. He experienced neither hunger nor thirst, Only a desire to get out of the rags in which his limbs were bound, but he found it impossi- ble to move either baud or feet until the wrappings were taken off, and he was placed under is glass case in the museum of the Academy of Sciences, Then he ilegen to move 0. little at a tirne, nntil one evening just before dusk he crawled out of the case, and made his escape in the janitor's over- coat. When asked to accoout for the knowledge of locaeions of different Stetes and cities in America, width he betrays in his conversation, Batten says lie has studied bard lance his escape from mummydam to acquaint himself with the world of Wesley and ite usages. The Man never becomes In the treat embarrassed by questions put to him, but answers every inquiry with stearlustsO OTanasses. The impression produced on those who lis- tened to the wild talk of this modern Egyp- tian is that he is as crazy as a March hare, but there are the assertions of the medical men to the contrary. Ritten has a queer history, which is told by Mrs, Strelhoff, his sister. She says that she and her two broth- ers are the ehildren of a Russian Jew, umned Michael Rittexi, who with his entire family was driven out of .Moscow in 1300. The elder Ritten refused to join the Established. Church aud was hustled out of the town, being compelled ta soll his property and stock for a song. They moved to London, erriving almost penniless, but the father by persistent energy made enough money to open it curiosity shop in the Mile End Road This proved to be a poor location, and a move was made to the West End where the femily set up shopagain in Wardour Street. This last venture proved to be a success, and a good deal of money was made prior to 1801, when the old man died, and Mrs. Strelhoff, having married a baker of London named Strelhoff, moved to this country. A couple of years later she was followed by her brothers, who had olosed up their business in Landon and sailed for America with is good deal of money, in the neighbourhood of two thousand pounds. They engaged in farming in Contra Nebraska, but Mrs. Strelhoff says that for the laat five years Jacob has been subjeot to peculiar hallucin- ations. 1 or a week at a time he would insist Shat he was it priest, and it subject of King Ptolemy, and then would as suddenly re- sume his normal condition, scouting the statements attributed to him by his rela- tives. out:— "Look out I There's a wolf in the shanty'" Sure enough. Chance had caught him crawling through the hole mid was fighting bravely. We could not shoot the dog was getting the worst of it, and more.

I killed two and Provost one'while we must have wounded five more. It was a long, weary night ; my companion's hand was painful and he shared the common belief that a wolf's bite is poisonous, while our poor dog was badly hurt, his fore paw being nearly bitten ciff, and his throat mangled. just before daylight, a rush was made from the out- side and I killed the last wolf with his head and front legs inside the cabin—hunters be- heve that these animals sometimes go mad, and this looked like it, but when day broke, with one long howl they left as they came. When we ventured out, besides the one in: the cabin three were dead. One with its back broken, snapped at us until a bullet ended its life. There were trails of blood leading to the slake and others must have been wounded, but such is the vitality of these animals that they will carry away a big load of leads• The fire had burnt up a coat and blanket, but whenscost was counted we had quitted.. load of skins worth not less than $30.

Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoriat The World's Rost Useful River. The Nile, probably, is the most wonderful river in the world. It has made Egypt pos- sible by turning an arid wilderness into the richest land in the world. It has provided at the same time an admirable commercial highway, and made easy the transportation of building material. The ancient Egyp- tians were thus enabled to utilize the granite of assuan for the splendid structures of hun- dred -gated Thebes and of Memphis, and even for those of Tanis, on thealediterratean coast. At is time when the people of the British Isles were clad in elm skins of wild beasts, and offered Mimeo sacrifice upon the stone altars of the Druids, Egypt was the centre of a rich and refined civilization. Most of this developmene of Egypt was due to the Nile, which not oisly watered and fer- tilized the soil tomtit...11y, but was and is one of the greatest and best natural highways in the world. From the beginning of le inter to the end of spring—that is, while the Nile is navigable --the north wind blowa steadily up stream with sufficent force to drive sail- ing boats against, the current at a fairpace ; while, on the other hand, the current is strong enough to carry a boat without sails down against the wind except when it blows o gale. That is why ancient Egypt did not need steanapower nor electric meters for the immense commerce that covered the Nile, nor for the bares carryin building material for htutdrecis of miles. ,Good Texts. The Good Book admonishes us that "A good man deaveth an inheritance to his children. " "10 any provide not for Isis own, and especially for those of his own house, he has denied the faith and is worse than a infitlel." "A prudent matt forseeth the evil and hicleth himself." "When thou liest down thou shalt not be afraid ; yea, thou shalt lie down, and Shy sleep shall be sweet," For length of days, and long life, and pea.ce shall they add to thee."
