The greatest eater in England is dead,
and inoidentally there disappears from the
ranks of the nobility a strange and gro-
tesque figure. The late Duke of Bedford,
who leaves behind him an estate of $50,-
000,000, was practically a recluse, and
though so enormously rich, a great miser.
His one absorbing thought was to pile up
further hoards, and find new possibilities of
retrenchment. During the last few yeara
he had become physically almost a mon-
strosity, through indulgence in a moat glut-
tonous appetite. This made him very
corpulent, and this in turn compelled seden-
tary habits, which tended to increase his
size. He ate, one acquaintance says'like a
wolf. He was reputed to be the largest
and heaviest feeder in England, and those
who had seen him eating say it was a sight
never to be forgotten. Heart dieemes was
the immediate cause of death, but he really
died of gluttony.
Tea should never be allowed to stand

The slave trade, the chief source of
reeruits for the harem, still flourishes in the
city of the Sultan. It is ooncluoted almost
exclusively by a tribe of Teherkesses known
as Teseirchis. A white boy in good health,
from 8 to 14 years old, costs $8 to $10. If
he has any acquiretnents, such, for instance,
as a knowledge ef cookery or other house-
work, he will command twice as much. A
girl under 10 years old may be had for $1,
while a maiden between 12 and 16, espec-
ially if she Can read and write and strum a
little on the zither, is worth $4,000. A
female slave of exeeptienel beauty,. young,
white and a virgin -the style most in vogue
are blondes with black eyes -fetches from
$5,000 to $7,500. For a choice speoimen,
with a smattering of French and able to
play a few airs on the piano, a rich amateur
•has been known to pay aa mach as $13,500.
But, as may be supposed, the demand for
articles of this deseription has greatly
fallen off since the halcyon time of per-
petual. loans and profuse expenditures. A
strong black slave eel's for about $100; a
black maiden, $75 to $90.

WHY KERTIAND SKIPPED,
841 To Be ailed in His 4.0oonntS to the
Oellepatty.
ACCOUNTANT MORRISON ISUSPERDER,
(Toroeto Empire.)
The mystery in connection with the die-
aPPearenee of Me MoLeen Kertland, late
cashier of the Imperial Loan & Investment
Company, has been entirely cleared up.
Mr. ICertland will not return to the city, an
all probability., unless he is compelled to.
As announced in the Empire exolusively
yesterday, the gentlemen was seen in
Buffalo on Monday by a prominent citizen
of Toronto, who knew nettling of the
tioutne into which Kertland had plunged
himself. Knowing that Kertland was out
of the coantry, and believing that he had
met with no foul play, the Empire set to
work to discover hie motive fob' leaving
town so suddenly. The task was somewhat
difficult eine° alt his friends and relatives
feigned utter ignorance of hismovements and
his employers resolutely refueed to say one
word which might be calculated to arouse
suspieions as to hie honesty. It was defin-
itely ascertained yeaterdey, however, that
ehe missing man has been losing coneider-
able amounts uring the past three yews in
stock speculation, and Mutt as late as last
Wednesday week he wass imploring friends
to come to his ramie and help him to make
good his losses. Them losses were variously
estimated, the amounts ranging from $10,000
to %OAP. It WAS al130 ascertained that the
loan company was makings thorough search
of the books, having in the meantime sus-
pended the accountant, Mr. efames B. Mor-
rison. Armed with these facts, Dr. Thor -
burn, the president of the company, was
interviewed last evening. The following
convereation ensued
"We are in possession of information,
doctor, which leads us to believe thee
Mr. Kertland has defrauded your com-
pany of at least $40,000, and that he
has been for over three yore using the
company's money without warrant. How
is it ?"
"The mystery is in connection with the
amount. There certainly have been de-
falcations and forgeries committed, but
as to the exact amount I can't op at
present"
"Will the loss sustained prove injur-
ious to the financial standing of the com-
pany p_•
"Oh, no; I am quite clear as to that.
Our rest is large ; besides, the bonds will
cover a large part of the deficiency, so that
the company will not lose much.'
"Hiss Accountant Morrison been found
guilty of any impropriety in connection
with the matter?"
"Well, he has been euspended for eeveral
days; I think our action m that regard
verses for itself."
"When will yoa be in a position to speak
definttely as to the full amount of the
shortage?"
"1 should say withia three days. We
are working hard at the books -in fact, I
have just come from the office now and am
very tired. Good-bye."
It has aleo been learned that Mr. Mor-
rison will not leave town without permis-
sion.
The missing cashier.
No tidings have yet been heard of the
miesing caehier, M. McLean Kertland, of
the Imperial Loan Co., Toronto. The exami-
nation of the books of the company is being
continued with all possible speed, and the
directors held a meeting on Saturday mornieg to consider the situation. The account-
ant, James B. Morrison, is nob under police
surveillance. The statement of the directors
is being waited for with a great deal of
interne. But it is not expected that any-
thing serious will be found wrong.

cause Mre. Beaker thought it a imitable
time for is holiday and had gone away on a
protracted visit.

Churoh, and an ardent worker ia the cause
ef Ceristianity, was about to leave for the
United Staten so a meeting 'was held on

morning and came to the city intending to

Anedyels of ancient mortars from some of
the codes and churches of England have
been compared by a contributor to the
Builder, who draws the following concha-
Bi0118 from them 1. That the proportionn
of lime have been tound to vary consider-
ably, and that a. high percentage is not
necessarily indicative of superior quality -
2. That the proportions of sand have alto
been found to vary considerably, and that,
on the whole, the specimens which cone
tabled the most were generally of superior
quality, but that in no case did the pro-
portion of sand to lime exceed in round
numbere that of 2 to 1, which is very muck
less than is usually found in modern mortar,
whilst in jerry mortar it is often as much SR
9 to 1. 3. That the proportion of gelatinous
or hydrated silica found in a mortar is a re-
liable indicatiobt of its durability and,
tenacity, and that the higher the percentage
of this constituent, the more closely will
such mortar approach the character of
cement. 4. That in the examination of
local limestones as to their suitability for
building purposes, the relative richness in,
this gelatinous silioa should be specially re-
ported upon.
Dry Coal is Economical.
Coal that is kept in a dry end airy please
will burn much longer than that which ist
kept in is close cellar with no ventilation.
When coal is kept m an earkes place it gets
rid of gas, and the absence of tbis renders
it less powerful and more wasteful when
burned.
