The latest returns of the Blitish regular army at home and abroad show that at the close of the year the strength has slightly inereased in comparison with what it was at the end of 1890. The increase amounts to about 800 men there being now a litele over 211,600 on the rolls, to compare with 211,000 a year ago. The full establishment -would be 216,000, the same as it was twelve months since, and the present Ctotal be larger by the 11,600 Ilion that of six years ago. The cavalry are reckoned at 19,200 the artillery at 35,7Q0 • the onginerhs at 7,400; the foot guard's and line infantry at 139,000; the army service elope at :3500; the medical staff corps at 2,400; the remainder of the enrolled moiler troops; being made up of small departmental corps, and special corps • embed locally in the Crown • colonies. Beyond these there is the great ladiesee native army and the Colonial • Militia and Volunteers; and these, with the home Militia and Volunteers, make up a grand total whose numbers have never been fully ascertained. All the regular troops are now principally confined to the home conntry, India, and the great garrisens in the Mediterranean and the Crown Colonies'; Canada and Australia having no Imperial forces beyond the 1,500 in Nova Scotia, while in South Africa, there are little more than 3,000 men. At home there are in England and Wales, 73,000 men • in / reload, 26,500 and in Scotland, 4,000'; in • India, 73,000; at Gibraltar, 5,000; in Malta, 8,000 ; in Egypt, 3,400 • Ceylon, I,400 ; Hug Kong, 1,600; the Straits Settlements, 1,400; the West Indies, 3,000 aaad Bermuda, 1,300—is considerable reduc- tion from last year, caused' by the return Immo of the exiled Grenadier Battalion.

ROBERT101IN BLAOK'S CURIOSITIES, (Hans Leigh in Detroit News.) A red -coated British, officer, prano upon a white war horse, draws the att tion of the Detroit pnblio to one of the m unique little establishments in the Uni States of Americo.. It is a small shop on Grand Riveraven directly opposite the Goodman House, a in that shop there is nothing Americ The stools upon which the customers come from Scotland. A red eurtain wh hangs aOrOSS the.ShOp, 20 feet frem the do was manufactured in the British Isles. 1 very tacks used in hanging sample go upon the Wall were imported from 13 rainghani- ' One of the principal sources of raven in this establishment is the sale of ne • papers • but the dailies of New York a • Detroit' find no places there. The Preened Journal may be purchased by ardent loy of Home Rule in Ireland. The Loud Times, the Pall Gazette and Lloy Weekly are on land to tell the lone Britisher of home and country. Lond Tit. Bits, and the weekly adventures of th ounniug cockney, "Ally Sloper," are ke in order to excite the risibilities of islancle who love mirth. The canny Scot may, f a few cents, draw wisdom and knowled from Scottish J.Vights, the Edinburgh Seo man, the Glasgow Mail, the Dundee Adoe ter, the Inverness Courier or The Peopl Journal of Aberdeen. Sprigs of holly,mistl too and Scottish heather may be had direet from the old sod. Upon the counter lies a heap of steel e gravings. "Portraits of sellabratties," t proprietor calls them ; but they are cele- brities Of whom no American ever heard, gentlemen with fierce looking Galway slug- gers and plaid waistcoats, sleek looking Presbyterian divines and gorgeonslv ap- parelled army officers.. One solemn looking individual, dressed in a fantastic ulster, is labelled "The Queen's Jester." Did auy- body. ever know that Victoria kept a " jester "? l'he proprietor of this little shop is a Scotchman, Robertjohn Black by name, and it is as a Scotch goods emporium that his place chiefly shines. Neckties and sashes of the gaudiest plaids are always in 4. took. Tartan stuffs of every style, frons Gunn ' up to Royal Stuart, are displayed there, brought straight from Inverrtees, the capital of the Scottish highlands. Stones and queer rocks from the Soottish coast, and sea shells picked from in front of John o' Groat's cottage 'nay remind the possessors of that queer old Celedonian myth. Does anybody want a few skerae-dhus with which to bojewel his kilt? or a highland dirk? or a Lochaber axe ? or a snuff -mull made • of a ram's head? or claymores, cairngorms or sporans and kilts? Then let him make haste to Grand River avenue. Orders come there from Australia South America, Africa and every part of the Union. •Hanging upon the wall are pictures of highland regiinents on parade, fierce •look- ing Scotch bagpipers and scenes such as are depicted in Burns' poems. Then there are pretty water colors showing mountainseenes in the north country aud soft summer land- scapes in the south. In the window is a long folder showing the uniforms in each branch of' theBritish service. Not to forget the little one's; there is a pietare book, and it is called "The Royal Tournament." Mr. Black always dresses in imported Scotch tweeds and runs to large and com- plicated checks He gets his shoes from a Scotch cobbler in Windsor. The only American thing about him is his cork leg. He wears one because in youth, while play- • ing shinney, somebody kicked his foot oft Since then he has worn out three legs and his American leg can outwalk both the others and beat 'em under the wire, hands down, without half trying. Sometimes • when rheumatism strikes him Mr. Black wishes that he had wooden arms and an extra basswood leg, and a liguum vitas stomach. When not engaged in selling im- ported articles, Mr. Black is • an architect aud "superintendent." At other times he works at engraving. When Rev. W. W. Carson, of the Jef- ferson Avenue , Presbyterian Church, wanted , resolutions of sympathy for the Baroness Macdonald, at the time of Sir John's ` death, he sought out Robertjohn Black. • Again Mr. Black was called upon to engross resolutions ter presentation no Andrew Carnegie, of Pittsburg, and so pleased was the great millionaire at the execution of the various Scottish emblems with which the resolutions were decked, that he sent copies of his completh works • to Mr. Black with his compliments and best wishes. A jolly -looking little man is Robertjohn Black, with a complexion like a girl and a beard like a soldier. He was, born 35 years ego in Inverness and sailed from the Clyde oh Lord Beaconsfield's death day, in 1881. When the frame houses of Canada first struck his eye, he thought they were merely shelters, put up like tents, until stone houses could be built. He signalized his arrival in London, Ont., by falling in love with a laliss Gunn, an American girl of Scotch parentage, whom he met in a board- ing house. They were secretly married almost immediately, and after paying the parson the groom had only $2 left. After working as a draughtsman for three weeks lie came to Detroit and worleedfortwo years with Architect Gordon W. Lloyd and two years for W. K. Muir, in the mills at Wyandotte. Then a big strike was set on foot and Mr. Black decamped for Scotland. He had not been there long when J. B. Wilson, the Detroit foundry man, dropped in to see him, and accidentally exposed an American nickel. Robertjohn seized the coin ecstatically, covered it with, kisses,per- formed a Scotch reel and declared that he would foliose. it bhck to Detroit. He was good as his word and soon opened out a otch goods shop on Jefferson avenue, next Victor Collate Subsequently he removed his present place of businese. • About a ar age he went tmScotland again, • think - g to remain, but returned to America, inking he could lotre his country just as 11 while in Detroit and that he thight M- entally make more money. The little place on Grand River avenue is e resort of half the old Scotch °millet( in troit. They drop in casually in the ening to get Scottish MOM, or the ,Shot8. ether to gossip and crack, old emo- tes and argue on British politics.

J, B. Lauder, an ardent Scotchnian and etanneh Conservative is found there at times, and Andrew Wanless is Mr. Black's especial friend. Occasionally is Scotch musician drops, hi apd tunes up his pipes to the air of The Cant'ella are " or "SCOW Wha hae Wi' Wallace 13Ied, " ; and then the old boys who happen to be there blush and tap their feet in time to the old tunes; and they wipe their eyes and say that "Mae pipes dinna sound richt wi'out th' lochs an' th' knovves t' skirl an echo o'er," The shop is too small to dance in, or the old fellows would have a reel or a sword dance sometimes, but Mr. Black's own house is bigger and dances are no unoom- mon thing there, Despite his cork leg, he can shake a toe with the best of his coun- trymen, and when it 00Ules to kicking he can stand on his fleshy underpinning and kick his timber toe higher than his head. Scotch manners and customs prevail at the house, as Scotch goods do at the shop. It's parritch for breakfast, an' haggis for dinner; and when evening comes Mr Black treats his friends to a decoction of whiskey and honey, which is said to. produce a jag more quickly than any mixture on earth. The son of the house is always clad in kilts, and so much does the father love the tartan that the boy is said to sleep in is plaid night- gown. When a sandy -haired immigrant front Scotia's island strikes Detroit he gravitates toward Robertjohn's shop like quicksilver to the bottom 01 a gravel pit, and he always finds sympathy and assistance. Among all thehappymen in Detroit Robert - john Black stands pre-eminent. No amount of misfortune can cast him down. He is especially fond of hie family. 1. merried on less than a month's ac- quaintance," he says; "and I couldn't have done better. if Pel searched for twenty years." lie Bad a Great Grin. The perils of courtship lia,ve had strange illustration in Washington, Pa., where is physician was summoned at half -past 11 o'clock the other night to attend a young farmer who -had somehow ruptured an artery in his left arm while keeping com- pany with his betrothed. Rad such an ac- cident occurred while sleighing it might have been comprehensible, since the lett arm on such occasions is frequently called upon to assume more or less risk in order to shield the buoyant fellow -rider from the peril of being tilted out of the vehicle. As the young lady in the case in question was sitting quietly in her own home the neces- sity of holding her down with such tenacity, however volatile her nature may have been, is not at all discernable. A gratifying feature of the puzzling disaster is the fact thee the young lady entirely escaped any ossnalty, the dispatches mentioning with ,particularity that her ribs were found entirely. intact. Bow to Keep Boys on the Farm. He told his son to milk the cows, feed the horses, slop the pigs, hunt the eggs, feed the calves, catch the colt and put him in the stable, cut plenty of wood, split kindlings, stir the milk, put fresh water in the creamery after supper, and to be sure and study his lessons before he went to bed. Then he hurried off to the club to take a leading part in the question, "How to Keep Boys on the Farm." ---Covington (Oct.) En- terprise. He Would Save Coal.

I gave him the grand hail- ing sign of an Odd Fellow, which he tum- bled to. Then I gave him the great "hair in the soot" grip of a Pythonio. He tum- bled. Then Cy. gave him the G.

P., has compiled into a neat volume the letters he wrote detailing his trip to Australia in the cause of Ilona° Rule. This extract is inter- esting : "James Carey lies near Port Elizabeth. We visited the spot. A more awful lesson was never reed, nor in more awful eloqueuce, than the moral of that far- off grave. It would even seem as if th very earth refused to harbor his wretched clay ; and as if nature herself were imbued with the sentiment of his countrymen towards this poor, weak, desperate .nd dishonored tool and victim of Dublin Castle officialism. It would tax the power of Dante's pen to record the hoz rors of that grave. Mine is miserably inadequate to ti.e task. Upon the bare, leafless, lifelees breast of a sand - hill, where the whirlwinds eddy round like evil genii, and where the scorching, searing, noisome desert blast sweeps across to the sea with the wail and shriek of a banshee, lies a heap of blood -red stones. Upon one of these some passer-by has scratched with a rusty nail : "Carey, the informer 1" Nothing more. Such is the tomb ; and sucih the epitaph. Around lie the bones of negro convicts who have suffered the extreme penalty of the law, while the only shade that ever strays over that grave comes as the setting sun sinks to his fiery couch be- hind. the grim and ghastly structure of the adjoining jail. In that company, amid such surroundings, the body of the Irishman who lured his countrymen to crime and sold them to a barbarous death for English goid awaits the last trumpet's sound. • LELAND STANFORD actually received $150,- 000 for Arlon. A Washington special to the Brooklyn Eagle tells what the California senator contemplates doing with the money received from the sale.

The Situation • Health depends upon the state Of the blood. The blood conveys every • element which goes to make up all the organs of the body, and it carries away all waste or 'dissolved and useless material. Every bone, -muscle, nerve and tissue lives upon what the blood feeds to it. Moreover, every beating of the heart, every drawing of the breath, every thought flashing through the brain, needs a supply of pure blood, to be done rightly and well. 2d. The Necessity The human race as a whole is in great need of a good blood purifier. There are about 2400 disorders incident to the human frame, the large majority arising from the impure or poisonous condition of the blood. Very few in- dividuals enjoy perfect health, and fewer still have perfectly pure blood. Scrofula, a disease as old as antiquity, ' has been inherited by generation after generation, and manifests itself today virulent and virtually unchanged from its ancient forms. If we are so fortu- nate as to eacape hereditary impurities in the blood, we may contract disease from germs in the air we breathe, the food we eat, or the water we drink. 3d. The Remedy In Hood's Sarsaparilla is found the medicine for all blood diseases. Its remarkable cures are its loudest praise.

A Washington despatch says: Some months ago Howard Schneider married a, young woman named Arnie M. liamlink. In accordance with the wishes of the- woinan's father the couple lived at his house. Their married life.wcis not happy, however, the husband staying away from home late at night and otherwise treating his wife improperly, threatening at times to kill her and her father also. About ten days ago, the husband not coming home at a late hour, Mrs. Schneider kcked the door of the house against him. Since then they have not lived together. Last night. Schneider sent it note to his wife's house asking her to again live with him, but she replied that she would not do so. Subse- quently Schneider sent another note, but his wife and her sister and younger brother Frank having gone to church, the father answered the note to that effect. Schneider must have awaited their return, for as they reached the neighborhood of their house he fired at them with a revolver, firing five shots before stopping. As a result .thank was killed instantly, having been hit in the head, and Anne, the wife, was probably fatally wounded, the ball havinglodged in her abdomen. The other girl was not injured. Schneider was subsequently arrested and lodged in the station -house. He says the killing was done in self-defence. What Is a Welldlired Woman A well-bred woman never dresses so that - she attracts attention on the street. A well-bred woman never talks about her personal affairs in public places. A well-bred woman doesn't let a door slam in the face of the next comer. A well-bred woman doesn't drop first her purse, and then her handkerchief, and then ' i her gloves and then her flower n a publie restaurant until everybodyis looking at her. A well-bred woman doesn't read her morning mail in the street oars. A well-bred woman doesn't tell the name of any celebrity she may have met when she is travelling. A well-bred woman is quiet and refined ; a man is proud to be seen with her, and he can pick her out from among a thousand, which is very much more than the average woman can do. --Bab in Nat York Press, DR. KEELEY'S bichloride of gold cure for drunkenness is declared by Dr. Abbott, Secretary of the MaSsaehusette State Boatd of Health, to be a humbug of the first water. He likent it to the Perkins cure for rheu- matism, gout and disorders of the nervoue !latent, wleitsh flotiriehed a century ago. The Perk= apparatus consisted of two pieces of metal, highly polished, and made to appear like gold and silver. They cost about 12 cents end were sold by Perkins for Sg5 a pair. The exposure of the Perhins fraud was the work of two phyelciane, who substituthel two bits of painted wood, made to resemble the metallic tractors, and it is the opinion of Secretary Abbott that when sothe bright young medical man ehell slyly substitute twine hatmleme placebo for this alleged bichloride of gold, and cure as matly patiehte with it as Eeeley professes to have cured, the bichloride castle of thiS century like Perkinsitim, tumble to the grounds mut the world will know 11 no inert forester.
