The retirement of Mr, Gladstone 'from the Premiership of Great Britain is ono of those things which, though not wholly unexpected, at his time of life, has fallen on British society like at thunderbolt, We apprehend that his resignation of office was not • so much the result of age, or increasing infirm ity, as it was owing to disappointment and chagrin at the action of the House of Lords on the Irish Mollie Rule 13111 and other measures vetoed by the Upper Chamber,That Mr. Gladstone has beets the n ost prominent figure in British politics for half a century must be adln•itted on all hands. And what the result may be of his abandonment of the Premiership at a most critical juncture, it is hard to foretell. Cer ailly the grand old mast (as lie is called) has not shown that courage of .conviction which entitles him to great praise in leayinq the ship of State when it came into deep waters; and however much some of the Liberal leaders may be disposed to follows his advice and try to perpetuate his policy, Mr. Glad- stone is entitled to scant sympathy front the rank and tile of his party for leav- ing them in the lurch, ' andbequeath- ing to his successor a legacy of political complications which will tax the skill and ingenuity and statesmanship of Lord Roseberry to unravel. On the .question of Home Rule for 'viand, dis- establishment, reform of the electoral :system, and the adjustment of a policy which will settle the differences be tweet' capital and labor,—on all those questions the new Premier and his Cabinet..will have abundant material to try their mettles. in order to settle satisfactorily with the British people The Earl of Roseberry has many quail fications to commend him to the nation. He is young, an able speaker, popular among the masses—and the only ob- jeetion made by the extreme Radicals is that he is a peer of the realm. His foreign policy will be more acceptable to the nation tban that of his predeces- sor, while it is thought his views on Irish Home Rule have never been so revolutionary as those of Mr. Gladstone. If the Liberals of -England should con- tinue in office, there is no man better fitted and qualified to be Premier than the present incumbent. But' there are shoals, and quicksands ahead, which will demand the ablest and most pru- dent statesmanship to steer the barque of State on towards the haven of politi teal rest and security. The probabilities are that there will be an early dissolu- tion of Parliament,followedby a gener- al eta °tion and this may change very materially, the personnel of the House of Commons, and the whole future policy of the nation. With Gladstone out of of- fice, and but of Parliament, his prestige with the Irish nationalists no longer a 'talisman with which to conjure,—with an unsettled family quarrel among the leaders of the Irish party,—the liken hood is that the present Cabinet will be sbortlived, and will be successful by a strong united conservative govern- ment under the leadership ,,of Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour. Grit newspapers are continually, as- cribing that the Grit policy is "almost identical" with the Patrons' platform But Oliver Mowat and Hardy are ;preaching against the Patrons, If the platforms are identical why should the ,Grits fear the election of a Patron can- didate? Wouldn't he vote the .same way as a. Grit ? The fact is that the platforms are not identical by the largest kind ora majority. News of the Week in Brief, FRIDAY Hlarch Oth. The date for the U.

THE WHY AND WHEREFORE. Experience and Practice Proves These Ways are the Best. If you want something newin sand- wiches try thefollowing, which I took from Food: Cut home -mode bread very thin—it must be at least a day old—and trim off the crust. Pound chicken to a paste, or mince it fine and dress it with a little mayonnaise. Spread this mixture on the bread, and then roll it in a firm roll and place a slightweight upon it. When a sufficient number are prepased, wrap them tightly ina napkin and put them in a cool place, but they should not stand over night, and . the bread must be tender, yet firm, or it will not roll well. To keep layer cake from sticking, put paper in the pan, grease it, then sprinkle with flour. The paper then peels off, readily. If you wish a pretty pink color for any article of dessert remember that beet juice will make it. If a green tint is desired spinach leaves can be 'Used, and the yolk of an egg will give a pretty yellow color.. Most vegetables are better cooked fast, excepting potatoes, ' beans, cauli- flower and others which contain starch. Cabbage should be boiled rapidly in plenty of water); so should onions and young beets and turnips. Never leave.a spoon in anything re- quired to boil quickly. The spoon con- ducts heat away from the liquid. It is a great mistake to make a large tea -biscuit. Properly speaking, a tea - biscuit should not be more than two inches in diameter and proportionately thick when baked. This gives a delicate, moist, flaky biscuit, which will be cook= ed through before the outside crust has become hard or over brown. Deep frying is loudly inveighed against by those who have not the in- clination to discover -that less fat is ab- sorbed by pieces of rish plunged in deep fat than those •which are turned from side to side in .a limited quantity, and that the intense heat of the fat cooks it more thoroughly than is possible by any other method, and, if carefully drained on paper, little fat remains. In using ammonia to remove grease spots, dilute the ordinary household ammonia one-half, and test on a piece of the goods. If it turns the color in the least, dilute until it ceases to affect it. Rub the spot with the ammonia, and rub quite briskly, placing a piece of clean cotton under it. After rubbing a few moznents, wash out the ammonia with clean water and use more ammo- nia. Be sure to wash clear of •all am- monia in the end, otherwise it may in- jure the fabric. Have you tried the new sanitary paper for your kitchen or bath -room? I could not afford tiling, so used this which conies in tile patterns. It is non-absorb- ent and can be washed. A mustard footlsath will frequently ward off an approaching cold. A table- spoon of mustard to two quarts of hot water is the 'proportion for an adult; for a very young child double the quan- tity of water may be used. A bucket, on account of its depth, makes a better receprable than a tub, and while the feet are being soaked a warm blanket should be thrown over the knees, cover- ing bucket and all. Donets that stick to rolling -pin, board and hands in a hot kitchen should be set away till thoroughly chilled, but all trouble might have been saved by using cold fat, flour and liquid at first, and the texture of the dough would have been better. If the soles of pegged boots or shoes are occasionally oiled the shoes will be easier, the soles will last longer and the pegs will not set loose in the leather. Gilding on silver shonld be rubbed as little as possible; wiping it with a soft linen cloth moistened with ammonia is all that is.necessary. tJntla,tntect by Defeat, While female sufrage has catried the day in New Zealand, it has experienced defeat in South Australia, where the adult suffrage bill, which embodied the principle, was roaeeted inthe popular house on the third reading,' but only by a narrow inajority. The friends of the cense, however/ are hot at all diseour- aged and will return to the battle with undaunted spirits till viotnry orowna their efforts.—Melbourne Letter. Miscellaneous, A Big Fire. A serious fire bi"olke out in Shortt's shoe store on Monday night, completely gutting the block occupied by Mr Shortt as a shoe store, Dr. Owen as a drug store, and T. Ticker as a jewelry shop The splendid service rendered by the firemen and engine confined the fire to this building, although a strong windwas blowing at the time. Mr. Matheson, who lived oyer the stores,was, awakened by the smo -o and had only time to get his family out, losing every- thing. The losses of the others are par- tially covered by iusureneo. with the exception of Mr. McTavish, lawyer,who lost his -library and other papers, and estimates his loss at $1,000. Cause of fire unknown. Thursday 'afternoon John Teban, a farmer residing in Downie, about four miles from Stratford, committed suicide by hanging himself,' It seems that re. cently the deceased purchased a farm, and on reflecting after acquiring the property concluded that it was too large a transaction, and that he could not manage to pull through with the the purchase bur- den the • e created Continual l e. brooding over his. financial affairs, it appears, brought about the climax which ended in the the terrible suicide The act was committed it is supposed, about three o'clock in the afternoon. I was some little time after that hour when Morris Kyley, a near ueighbor.of deceased, discovered, on entering the latter's barn, the body hanging from a beam, and it was impossible to recall life to the form, though every effort was made to do so. The deceased was a widower, and leaves a grown up family to mourn his loss. He was a member of the Roman Catholic Church. Mr. Bryan, a Fullerton farmer, has laid an information before P. M. O'Loane, of Stratford, against Ernest Mann, of Toronto, charging Mann with bigamy. It has been learned that the young couple[Bryan s daughter], haye been staying at the Dublin Hotel for some days past, and 'a constable has been dispatched to arrest him Mann, it is said, makes a business of mending clocks through the country; it also seems he is in the heart breaking business as well,; and probably while mending the farmer's kitchen clock he found the key to the heart of the maid. (Later). Mann has been arrested an 1 is now in jail. Mann and his bride were enjoying their honeymoon ar Dublin hotel,, The bridegroom is a pleasant looking young fellow about 24 years of age, and took his arrest as a matter of course. He was taken to Stratford and will have to answer to the_ charge of bigamy, Frank Woodhull. of Arkona, has been committed for trial on a " eharge of bigamy. About ten years ago he was a member of Rev Mr. Savage's Hallelujah Band, and did conrsiderable work as an evangelist ip Huron Coun- ty, He was one of the party out' boat ing when Miss ,Clegg, of Morris, was drowned, and public opinion, justly or unjustly, censured him for carelessness When he left the country there were rumors about him being a married_man though he posed as a single one. Arthur L. Reese, the electrician of the Maryland Steel Company at Balti- more, while arranging his apparatus to illustrate a -lecture to be delivered by him, was caught by the current in some manner and instantly killed.
