The Exeter Times, 1892-2-4, Page 2LATE FOREIGN NEAPS At Monday evening a man and woman were heard quarrelling in an unfrequented passage near the riverside, Birkenhead, and shortly afterwards the woman was found lying dead on the pavement. The man had disappeared. No marks of violence were apparent on the body. Among the weavers employed in a Bidde- Ford, 31e, cotton mill is a woman who stands six feet andthree inches in her stock- ing feet, and is large and strong in propor- tion. She is more than a ,match for any man about the mill, either in boxing or wrestling. In spite of the German Emperor's praise of duelling, a court at Leipsig has sentenced six students convicted of duelling to three months' imprisonment each, and the land- lady in whose house they fought to a month in a fortress. The Pope hopestobe buried in the Later- an by the side of Innocent III., whose tomb he has just finished there. There has just died in Poland a once eelebrated beauty, who refused the hand of Napoleon III. She was the Princess Helene Sagonsko, and died unmarried at the age of 57. There are in the world 147 educational institutions called universities. The largest is in Paris, with 9,215 students a the next in Vienna with 6,220 ; the third in Berlin, with 5,527. The smallest is a branch of Durham University, Fourah Bay College, in Sierra Leone, with with twelve students and five professors, At one time Japan considered the question of establishing a national creed, and a Mini- ster was sent to Europe to investigate ; but says tbe Bishop of Exeter who has been following the subject, the agent returned to report that Christianity exerted no more beneficial influence upon vice than Bud- dhism. In ?outpost Antoine Delair seepseted his wife. She fell dangerously ill, and a priest was sent for to hear her confession.

At the ISO shops and stalls where such food is sold the price has varied from two sons to a franc a pound, the latter being the price of the best horse steaks. Only about one third of the meat 4u sold fresh and undisguised ; the rest is shed in making sausages, 402 horses having heeu seized and condemned as unfit for food before being turned into sausage. The demand tor platinum for use in science ''.1is raised its value to three-quarters that of gold. Three years ago it was worth $S0 a pound. It now costs $190, or eleven times more than silver. It is found in small quan- tities in Peru, Colombia, Brazil, the Ural Moautains, California, Oregon, and Borueo. i bo yearly out -put has never been more 'Mr than four tons end is now three. A new cause has arisen for a lawsui'. A woman in France was notified by the auth- orities ofa lunatic asylum of her brother's went to thefuneral,and ordered death. She dt.red a handsome tombstone. Her mother was so grieved at her son's death that the plaintiff had to give up her situation to take care of her. Then she learned that the directors of the asylum had made a mistake and that her brother was alive, After unsucessfuI efforts for compensation she has gone to the eourt, claiming heavy damages for grief and injury. ;The ofl]ciaLreport shows that 890 people §oinmitted suicide in Paris during the past year. 243 of whom hanged themselves, 205 were drowned, 164 asphyxiated, 138 shot, 65 jumped from windows, 33 were poisoned, 24 stabbed, 5 run over by trains, and 13 left by methods miscellaneous. Among the drowned and window jumpers the ma- jority were women. At Oberleschen a. man named Schwabe, aged 70, had a wife, aged 72, who had been a bed -ridden sufferer for years. In her paroxysms of pain she would often cry : " Oh, heaven, I wish that I were dead ; Kill me ! Relieve me of this pain !" The other day, while old Schwabe was listening to her appeals, in a fit of despair he took a bootjack and beat her to death. • Prince George of Greece will receive rhortly from the Athens Life Saving Society ,he great golden medallion. He earned it recently during a storm, in which a young' son -commissioned naval officer tried to cross ;he harbor in a little sailboat to the fort where the Prince was stationed. The boat ipset and the young officer to it help- :essly. There was a call for volunteers, but •nobody in the fort responded. Then a little rowboat was pushed away from the fort and one young officer in it went to the rescue. Be saved his man and returned. When the reset er landed from the little craft the former was recognized by the garrison as Prince George. Hammered Nails Into His Skull. About a fortnight ago there was briefly :hronicled the extraordinary case of a mau n Vienna who had hammered five large lairs into his skull. end then walked to the 'ientral Hospital to have them extracted. •,;t was remarked at the time that the case would probably give rise to a great deal of nedical controversy, and the event has veri- fied thisprediction. The man, who is of weak ntellee„ is doing very well in the Hospital, Ind is quite out of danger ; but all the most eminent professors in Vienna, beginning with Professor Billroth, are unable to under- stand how he can have hammered the nails Into his head without killing himself. One of the nails is said to have penetrated six Inches, so that the extraction of it was more laborious and dangerous. Among the patient's Christmas visitors was Prince Giechtenetein, who gave him 40 florins as a oresent, but retired marvelling, as all others save da - e 'rho have closely watched this teall}i'-`,•ere eanalcase.

God never sends people to fish in deep water who have broken nets. The devil may drag aChristian sometimes but he can never drive him. No bad man ever makes him any better by claiming to be a saint. You can not get any more out of the Bible than you are willing to obey. Christ is always giving us opportunities to show what we will do with him. If it is the duty of every Christian to be anything, it is to be a cheerful giver. You can't tell by the length of a man's face what he will do in a horse trade. There would be more work done for Christ if there were more resting in Christ. You can't tell much ..hen, a man's relig- ion by the length of Isis face on Sunday. Whatever God's spirit leads up to pray • for, he makes our duty to work for. If your religion makes you want to fight to defend it, you've got the wrong kind. The only safe place for a Christian when his enemy is overthrown is on his kn ees. The poorest of poor are very often those whom their neighbors consider rich. Every Christian should continua lly try to do the will of God as the angels do it.— [Ram's Horn A FORTUNE GONE IN A DAT. I j+ FP er�.t' IIeavy Losses of ii l:aglishua:in at the ' . Route ■ 8 onte Carle Vastao• Monte Carlo is like a miniature paradise, for the Casino is not in sight and the excite- ment .of the tables forgotten for awhile. But only for awhile ! Tho absorbigg excite- ment is like a magnet ; we can none of us re- sists it. The beauty of the place, the scent of the flowers, the warm, bright sunshine, are forgotten as we watch the turning of the roulette with never -diminished eager- ness. At present the place is quiet ; there is butlfttle difficulty in obtaining a seat et the tables, the concert theatre is but half full, smart frocks are the exception and the meeting of friends is rare. Yet the tables, undisturbed by the enemy, i\1r. Wells, are malting goodly sums of money, though as yet we have not been scared by the suicide of a ruined gambler. Five thousand pounds in one day Is an unpleasantly large sum to lose, yet this was the fate of a charitable Englishman the other day. Charitable may seem a misappropriate adjective, yet it is the right one, for the man is ananomaly who spends his time and money at the two extremes of the pole, charity and gambling. The greatest pang which his los causes nim lies in the thought of the good he might have done with his £5,000 hacl not the evil spirit taken possession of him, though his fall from the straight road is still more brought home to him by the fact that he had brought his wife over from one of the neighboring towns to see the sights of Monte Carlo, and, having left her for a few mo- ments at the hotel, entirely forgot her exist- ence, and allowed her to spend tate whole day et the hotel playing the part of Mariaiva of tate Matted Grange, while he lost coup after coup at the tables. It is curious how gambling is the one object that impresses itself on the mind of the visitor, though it is by no means the only charm of the place. How often we hear of the fascinations of the daily concerts compared with the attractions of roulette, while the more than beautiful drives which abound in the country sur- rounding the little principality aro forgotten. in detailing the excitement of trento•et- quarante ! Occasionally ono hears of the Corniche Road, that mine of wealth to novelists ; but, as a rule, the thoughts, de- sires and recollections of the visitor to Monte Carlo are bounded by the walls of the Casino.

Tuesday—I find the Croat tiling in this world is not so much whore we stand as in what direction we are moving. To reach the port of Heaven we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it ; but we must sail, and not drift or lie at anchor.—[Oliver r\\ endell Holmes. Wednesday—A uackward Iook over the departed year can hardly fail to be•tinged with sadness, Tho memory of its lost time, unimproved opportunities, rmkept re- solutions, unrealized hopes and countless shortcomings may well cast a somber veil over scenes which, as we passed through than, were bathed in sunlight and had many joys. Such thoughts, however, should not snake us morbid, but only quick- en us to make the coming year more wisely and largely fruitful in improvements of self and usefulness to others, That way is op- portunity ; that way is duty ; that way is the way for retrieval of past errors ; that way is uee£ulness to others and improve- ment and ]sappiness to ourselves.

He who neglects these seeming trifles and ;]rinks that when some great sacrifice is called for we will make it will rarely if ever do so or if he does it will be for his own sake and not for the sake of others. And he will never know the luxury of being truly loved. Saturday— Do to -day's duty : tight to -day's tempta- Lions ; improve to -day's opportunities.
