For winter wear the first garment requir- ed is a combination suit of all or part wool, as the mother thinks best In molter case it should be fine and soft enough to be com- fortable to the tender flesh. Better a fine undergarment and aprint dress, than &coarse one next the flesh and a cashmere dress outside. These suits tnay be made from the mother's partly -worn ones, or they may be bought in shirts and drawers, and made into combination sults, at less expense than they oan be purchased as such. For the latter purpose, buy two souts o. shirts and drawers. Cut the shirts the right length for a long waist, close the open- ing in front and epen the back if you wish to sew the front ot the drawers on the waist. Some prefer to keep them separate and button the drawers on the waist both front and back. Bind the button side, fac- ing that to be used for tho buttonholes, that there be no gap when buttoned. Either bind or face the lower part of the waist with etrong cotton cloth. With the addition of buttons and buttonholes in proper places 'the garment is complete. Cooli.ng RDAS, 'Before beginning to make cake be sure that the oven is ready and the utensils and Materials collected. If deep pans are to be used and you are afraid the cake will stick, paper it and butter the paper ; otherwise butter the pan, dredge on flour, and shake out all that is euperfluous. The white of eggs aro better if well °hilt ed and if time allows set them in the refriger- ator a little while before using. Never beat the white of eggs and let them stand while- putting the rest of the mixture to- gether. It is al nays safest to break eggs one at a time.

Uncle Sara Badly Worsted, The temporary settlement of the Behrine Sea difficulty, pending the mooting of th'e commission, furnishes t he dam ttera tie papers of the States with vood campaign thunder. Aecordin‘g to this branoli of the At/wide/to press Uncle Sam has got badly worsted iu negotiations. Here is what the Nee- York San says on the inatter;—" The Parlinanen. tory Seoretary of the Ioreigu °thee has ren• flounced to the Britieh House of Commons the complete aceord ef his Government with the United States Government in re - gourd to the Behring Sea mocha viven,11, so called. In the temporary convention, as well as in the treaty of arbitration, our gov- ernment has been overreached, onewitted, checkmated, nut to shame. There will be a few niore moves, but the checkmate is there. The present situation is ono which must be highly satisfactory to England and to Canada. he arbitration is ingeniously oonfined to points on which a decision ad- verse to the United States is a foregone con. elusion. There is no more doubt that ottr claim to exolusive jurisdiction will be thrown out at Para than there is that the sun will rise on the morning of the day, twelve or twenty-four months hence, when the tribunal shall have finished its labors and shall announce its judgment, The same thing will hempen to our claim that the Pribylov seal herds, when away from the islands, aro not forte naturte, but the property of this nation, whioli this nation may follow and protect anywhere in the waste of ocean waters, Them will be a show of collecting and arranging evidence, framing arguments, and making and presenting an American ease, but the case is fore -doomed to failure. No lawyer versed in international law, no intelligen tperson, has any other expectation. Mr. Blaine seems to have perceived all this clearly front the fast. When he was personally in charge of the negotiations he endeavored by every means to avoid the diplomatic oul (le sae into which President !Harrison has since steered the American case, The settlement ' of the Behring Sea question is to be credited exclusively to Gen. Harrison and the Repeblican Senate ; and it is triumph which ia good only until after election, and until the decision of the Paris tribunal transforms it into the great. est diplomatic reverse and humiliation which this country has ever experienced, The same thing is true of the temporary arraugement pending the decision of the arbitrators. The modes vivendi is practi- cally the wager of an indefinite sum of money that our case will prevail at Paris. Everything is staked upon a decision which is bound to be against tos. It is hotting against dead certainty. The milieus in the way of consequential damages may not have to be paid for one, two, or three years, but paid they will have to be, not the less aurely on account of the postponement. The Canadian pirates can afford to stay ashore and figure up largely the putative gains which they woofid have tingle if per- mitted to pursue their cruises of entomb'. talon. For these reasons the phrase now running so glibly on Republica» toupee, and flowing so aomfortably from Republican pens, is totally and absurdly inapt. So far as concerns the Ameviaan case and the fu- ture of the life of the Alaska, fur seal, it is net a mocha viventli. It is a exodus moriendi," TO OURE A ItuRSE OF BALKING. A.

When the news came out to the colony that Pick Totten wee wanted as the hair to $10,000,000 there was something of a stir. When, three months later, it was advertis• ed that a reward of 32,500 would be paid to any ono locating him, there was only one man in all Australia who could Come any- where near it. That man was John Faulk. nee of Melbourne. He had been a sailor anti a ship carpenter, but having lost & leg he had been compelled to " Job around " and mole up the best living he could. It was strange information he had to give. It seemed that young Totten became disgusted with Australia after travelling about for to couple of yeays, and decided to retire from that colony and the world as well. Ono day he appeared at Melbourne, and began searching for a small sailing craft. 3n this search he ran across Faulkner, who knew of a small sloop for sale. Tooten's first idea. was to go off alone, but when be found that no craft • which one man could manage would be eel° A silLS ore. THE man he changed ha plans. The sloop in ques- tion could be handled by a (yew of three. He bought her, and engaged Faulkner and a second man named Roos. He gavo his own name as White, and ha destivation as the Coral Sea for a pleasure oruise. The two mon very soon concluded that; Tetteu (White) was a little off, but as ho promised good wages and appa.red able to manage business mattere, they decided to stick by him, It was part and parael of the agreement that they should not mention a word to outsiders, and when the sloop left not a Irian in Melbourne knew anything of her plans. She was well provisioned, and Totten took aboard a stock of garden seeds, a quantity of lumber, hardware, tools, and extra clothing. Among bis purchases was one of $500 worth of hooks. Ho also took with him six goats, six pigs, two doeen hens, a dozen ducks, &cage ot rabbits, two dozen pigeons, a couple of dogs and to parrot. The sloop took her departure at night, and sever- al days later was sighted at sea. According to the story told by Faulkner, and everybody believed in his veracity, the sloop stood to the north until she reached the Now Guinea Islands. If you have a chart of Hoot sea you will find its northern border composed of islands, great and small. They number at least 500 in all, ranging from a mere dot of land, across which you can throw a peb- ble, to islands inhabited by 2,000 toatives. For many days the sloop was dodging about amen the islands to find one tu suit Totten. He at length selected one about two miles long by one mile in breadth. A portion of it was COVIMED WiTli PoltEST and the remainder was a fertile plain. There was a large spring uf fresh watev, no signs of inhabitants, and when ho had in- spected it he announced his intention of entering upon a Cruse° life. The cargo of the sloop was unloaded, the goods carried up to a spot, whieh he selected for the site of his house, and the two mon Were with him for a week or more. When everything was safely landed he gave them their wages for six months, presomed Faulkner with the sloop, told ordered them oft That it might not be easy to find him should search be made, he took away the compass. The men hesitated to go without it, but lie be- came so enraged that they feared cadence, and put to sea. Fortunately when about one hundred to the south they came aoross a trod. ing vessel, which sold them a eoinpass and gave them a chart and tho oourse, and after a great deal of knocking about they reached Melbourne, That is, Faulkner did, but Ross died at sea three days before of some strange fever.

A few min- utes later a (log barked, and then we knew for certain that we had at last found the hiding place of the missing heir, The dog presently appeared to view, but ho looked wild and half starved, and with all our coaxing we could not bring him nearer. "If the man was here that dog would not look that way," observed ono of the men.

There were five of us, and wo struck into the forest agnin. When we reached its eouthern edge we saw to rude board shanty a few rods before 09, the door of which was open and swinging in the tweeze. Some fowls were walking about and we could hear pigs grunting in the bushes. The dog which we had seen be- fore now saluted as ftem a mass of rooks surrounding the spring. On the lawn around the house were scattered leaves of books, artioles of clothing, broken boxes, and many bottles, and as we looked about tho Captain said : " The beachcombers have been here, and we shall find only the bones of the man we seek 1" We firat moved down to the house. It contained only ono room, and the floor was littered with books, bottles, seeds, and various °thee things.

Nothing is to be gained by ro lenient policy toward the Anarchists. Toleration of opinion is by them attributed to fear, and they leonine all the bolder in minting out their murderous ideas and plans. This is strikingly shown by the situation in France to -day. From ono end of the coun- try to the other the utmost appreheneion prevails. France has ouly hal-tied Lo blame for this lamentable condition of affairs. Prime Minister Lotibet admits this when be says: " We are suffering from the faults of our predecessors, who for a snocession of years allowed everything to be done and stoid under the gnise of liberty oF speech and pen to prostitute the cause of liberty, and this has resulted in the recent outbreaks of Anarehism."

The leading article in he Con tomporavy Review for April is an cetimato of the char. neler anti mental ocnull Lion of William II., King of Prussia and Emperor of Germany. NN'a are tioe surprised to hear that the too- th:10 has given great. offence to the young ruler and has been proscribed in Prussia. The author does not sign his name but he is evidently a German, and ios Clearly it person extremely well informed. The °pin- ions which he ex pi eSSOS are virtually iden- tical with those arrived at by disinterested American observers, and lto does net hesi- tate tit tieseribc the young Emperor as the violin, tif that form of cerebral disorder know .. as foliedes grandeurs or megalomania. It is pointed out that the notion that Wil- liam 11. is a 1111411 of superior ability was duo partly to the dismissal of Bismarck, an an wheae real sign' fieance time only could disclose. According to the soleness or failure of the tot tempt to improve upon the veterau Chancellor, oho act would be pronounced In,cof er erealtioao thin- ness 00 stupid wilfulness, The dis- position, however, to take the young Kaiser at Itie own valnation was deo moody to the newspapers, told t1toritfore in calling the vepreseutatives of jouruidistu " was Ben- geln " (mese youngsters), ho W0111,110 hove been both ungrateful and unwise.

There is no longer one serious and thoughtful man in Germany who does not regard the men- tal calibre and equipment ot Wrizian II. with a mixture of contempt and apprehen- sion. In the judgment of the writer in the Contemporary the Emperor's whole intone°. tend stock in tratle amain.); mainly of the giftofgrasping quickly the merely superficial ttepeote of many thiegs. instance, he has not read a book in years, yet there is in him a spacious, plausible affectation of am quaintanceehip With literature.

According to the writer ie the Coidemporoxy, the most ominous joint precinct of the Em. poror's vanity and superficiality is the Gravsemvah It" fonogtolomaida,) which he seems to lie developing at an alarming rate. It seems that this speoilio form of cerebra derangement, tha diseased estimate of the relative porportions of things, is, 80 to speak a German diens°, being as comtnon among badly balanced meatuses in Germany aS the spleen is in England.
