Forged £ 900 Cheque. WELL-CONNECTED MAN SENTENCED. Before the Recorder at the Central Criminal Court on Monrday Edward George Wellings. 37. a clerk, of Mall-road. Hammersmith, pleaded not guilty to forging and uttering a cheque for £ 900 with intent to defraud Messrs Barclay and Co., Ltd.. bankers, of Lombard-street. Mr Martin O'Connor defended. Mr H. G. Rooth, proseedting. said that on .Saturday. December 11th. a district megsewr boy came to the bank with a letter-purportang to be signed by Mr <tr. Cunard, of Thorpe Lubeaham, MarfeptiHarborough. a customer of the bank, requesting that a-cheque. book should be sent by the bearer to St. Pancras Station. Thoiett^r appeared to be genuine, and the book was sent. On Monday morning the bank re- ceived an acknowledgment purporting to be signed by Mr Cunard. At 10.40 that morning the prisoner appeared at the bank with a cheque for JE900, made payable to-<x. Hunt. Esq., and endorsed. The signature-appeared to be perfectly genuine, but the presentation of an open cheque for such a large amount. being unusual, the cashier asked prisoner if he was Mr Hunt. Wellings said he was not, and was asked to see the manager. He then said he had been engaged that morning by a gentleman as a servant, and was sent to the bank at once, his instructions being to take the mortej at once to the Golden Cross Hotel. The police were called. Mr Gordon Cunard, whose name was forged, said that the signatures on the cheque and the two letters sent to the bank in his name were rather like his signatures. The notepaper on which the letters were written was not his, but his die had been imitated. He was not in London at the time, and knew no one named G. Hunt- Giving his account of the events of December 13th, Wellings said that he had inserted an advertisement, and, called at the office to see if there were any replies. As he was turning away from the desk a man stopped him and asked if he was looking for a billet. He said that he was. The man then asked him to go to Barclay's Bank to cash a cheque, and meet him with the money at the smoking room of the Golden Cross Hotel. He had no idea that the cheque was a forgery, and he denied telling the bank cashier that he was in Mr Hunt's employment. Nine hundred pounds was a targe sum for a complete stranger to entrust you with ?-I was entrnsted with £ 100,000 in South Africa to take 80 miles across countrv. Mr Rooth: That is very different from FleeW StThe Recorder In time ef WAr might not be so safe.. The jury found the prisoner not guilty of- forgery, but convicted hiiu of uttering, and recommended him to mercy on account of his previous good character. le The Recorder I see there is another man of the name of Wellings in the calendar. Mr Booth Yes, my Lord, charged with- a similar fraud on the Bank of England. Counsel added that he was informed that primmer was a well educated man and. was an old public school boy. The Recorder said he was afraid the prisoner was one of the many soldiers who were all right under strict discipline and m facc<>t the enemy, but in times of peace were quite un- trustworthy. At the same time he had always thought that when a man had served his Sovereign, as prisoner bad, that ought to be taken into consideration. Hfe sentenced him to nine months hard labour. ——

BRIXTON FLAT TRAGEDY. At North London on Monday Wm. Charles Harrison, a sailor4 of the Gunnery School Excellent at Portsmouth, was further rc. manded charged in connection with the death of Edith Beck at Brixton. A verdict of Man- slaughter has alreadv been returned against accused by the coroner's jury. Professor Pepper said the girl's death was due to suffo- cation, and it might have taken place during the night. There was nothing inconsistent with it having been accidental. Other evidence showed that prisoner and deceased were both intoxicated over night.

_V r-- Fashion and Things Feminine. By Miss IDA MELLER. The All-Btack Evening Gown. The time has come when fashion changes-are imminent, and we may expect to see a -r ad vial widenintrof skirts and shortening, of coats. Skirts, indeed, arc already very much wider than thev were, Although th<T so from the fact that the extra width isarranged in flat'. sharpJy-njarked pleats, held down by sfcitchings or inader-tapes that check any at- tempt at flow; wherefore the new pleated skirt is almost as straight and sbm-looking as th" sheath skirt that has been the idol of the fashionable world for the last year and mote. Since our coats cannot grow longer, it is safe to prophesy that we shall shorUysee them considerable- curtailed. In fact, tailors whose > business it is to be in advance of fashion, have prepared many of their early spring models with shortened coats that vary in length from the knees to a few inches below the waist. Sleeves, too. are shortening, and this means that longer gloves will be worn. The coming three-quarter sleeves follow the shape of the arm but the material on the prettiest models is rucked, drawn or tucked (croasways). They are simple little, sleeves, finished below the elbows 'with a band of jjalon, embroidery, or lace insertion. Transparent under sleeves, maybe, are worn with them, reaching' to the wrist, or the sleeves are met by long kid gloves, and the distinguished effect of black glace kid against a black evening dress or walking cos- tume of coloured cloth, where the facings or trimmings are carried out in black, must not be overlooked. The evenng toilette sketched is Carried out in black, and the short sleeves are met by long, black, and the short sleeves are met by long, rucked gloves of black glace kid. The front of the dress is of black satin, embroidered in pailetfces, and the sleeves are of the same, bordered with embroidery, the rest of the dress being of black ninon. The all-black gown for evening wear is a good a.nd useful friend to the woman whose evening engage- ments are many, but whose purse is not very swell filled. It is especially useful to the young professional singer or pianoforte player. A Coat for a Schoolgirl. Theschoolgirl, like the business woman, must needs be independent of weather, and go to her occupations in rain as in sunshine. She cannot stop away from school because it is wet. hence the need of a good, stout overcoat in the school- girl's outfit. Among the most hard-wearing, serviceable materials for the purpose is kn&p- cloth. and diagonal serge, of a soft, thick quality, is a good second, neither of these stuffs showing raiu-spots. If something smarter is preferred, let the choice rest on unspottable cloth, and as for colour, the ever-useful navy blue first suggests itself, followed in thought by nmlberry or claret-red, olive-green.wood-hrown. and voilet. Any of these colours may advisably be chosen for the schoolgirl's overcoat, and if trinjming is introduced, let it be of braid or cloth strappings. A charming coat is seen in our sketch, and suggests an excellent model for the schoolgirl of fifteen or her sister a yearttr two older. It is made with the fashionable seamed-on fronts and deep-roll collar, this latter being faced with black satin, and the cuffs are of satin to match. The coat looks well in navy-blue and in deep red. the large buttons being either of the coat material or of black satin. The new Russian Itoat. is also suitable to young girls, but it is usual for this type of coat to form part of a costume rather" than serve the purpose of an overcoat. The Russian coat is generally knee-deep—sometimes shorter Deportment and the Figure. The figure can be improved or the reverse by the way in which a woman carries herself. A common fault is to hold the shoulders forward and let the chest sink in. Easy chairs are largely responsible for the bad deportment that mars the figures of many woman. They en-' courage stooping and round shoulders. When sitting in chairs other than easy ones. careful, attention should be paid to the position of the upper part of the figure. The spine should be as erect as when walking. Even. when resting back in the chair it is possible to avoid a stooping attitude, to keep the back flat and the chest up. When engaged in writing or drawing, parti- cular attention should be paid to the attitude adopted and an endeavour made to keep the shoulders level. Suggested Remedies for Chilblains. A simple remedy that, may be applied to broken and unbroken chilblains is hay-water. In two quarts of water, fast boiling, throw two large handfuls of hay let it boil for about twenty minutes, then strain for use. The chil- blains. whether on hands or feet, should be, soaked in t/he preparation night and morning, the hftv-water being warm. Unbroken chilblains are pometimes relieved by being wetted with a lotion made by putting a small piece of saltpetre, not larger than a com- mon marble, in a teacup and pouring boiling water on it (less than a cupful) letting the water stand tillcold, and wetting the chilblains with the lotion night and morning, the mixture being allowed to dry on. Vinegar mixed with one-fourth its quantity of camphorated spirit is an excellent liniment for unbroken chilblains.

Vegetables and Fruit. Pea sticks should he procured and sharpened, and this is only one of numerous little but un- avoidable occupations which, if attended to now. will assist in relieving the pressure of work later on. There is no need for the gar- dener ever to remain idle. Sparrows and many other kinds of birds do irreparable injury to the fruit buds of Currants and Gooseberries at this time of year. The buds should be protected by winding black cotton among the branches*, or by syringing them with limeash. The spaces between the rows of the little Cabbages planted out in the autumn should be kept clean, and if the ground is dry enough the hoe may be run lightly between the 1'0"" and the plants earthed up a little, if necessary. Presently, when they fairly bigin to move again. a little superphosphate and nitrate of potash may be sprinkled amone the plants with benefit, and later on. when this has dis- solved. a very small quantity of nitrate of soda. or even a- little salt, will be found an ex- cellent stimulant. Any surplus plants that were not put out in the autumn may be planted now, if 3trong enough. The building of hot-bed!? must soon be at- tended to. Meantime, the materials whether consisting of stable manure or tree leaves, or the two mixed, must be sweetened. This latter process is indispensible, and consists of tossing them up into a conical heap to cause them to ferment. When the heat permeates then they have to be turned over again in the same way, placing what was outside in the centre, and vice versa. Wet, rank material may re- quire turning over a third time. Tree leaves alone may do with one heating, and a leaven of them in over-moist stable manure greatly neutralises rankness. V The seed of the Parsnip, Onion, parrot, and other hardy vegetables is usuallv 'sown in the early spring, but it is often possible to get the seed in considerably earlier than this, especially where the soil is naturally of a light and porous character, and where possible this may often be done advantageously, the conse- quent crop being either earlier or the roots much larger than usual. Thus, a. sowing of Onions may often be made in February or the early part of March, and, this being a Very hardy subject, with the best results; and Parsnips sown at the same time, or a little later, will, under fairly favourable circum- stances, produce very large roots. Carrots^ should not be sown too earlv, as a. rule, though a. small bed of one of the stump-rooted or Horn varieties ma,y be tired, in a shel- tered spot. In 4the Flower Garden. The present is a good time to form rockeries. Ordinary mould and cinder refuse will form a good foundation. Cover with a foot of good soil, and dispose rough burrs about the sur- face to form irregular miniature beds. Do not make the rockery too formal looking. If cuttings of Lobelia were struck and the stock thus secured in the autumn, the pots standing on a greenhouse shelf will have plenty of cuttings ready to he taken. The merest scrap, if only an inch in length, will strike freely in boxes or pans of sandy soil, or merely in damp sand, in a gentle heat. When rooted, the cuttings are dibbled out into other boxes of rich, sandy soil, to make themselves, and when well rooted out the tops may be taken off, and these be again inserted as cuttings. The original plant may afterwards be lifted, pulled to pieces, and dibbled out in other boxes. A spare hour or two should be used in pruning and nailing up climbers attached to house or garden walls and fences. Cut back to main shoots of Clematis to insure their blooming well. Where any made a very weakly growth last Wmmer it is a good plants cut the same down to the ground they will push up stronger shoots. Wistarias must have all minor weakly young shoots cut back to two or three buds. Prune back White Jessamines severely to near the older wood, except when the strongest young- shoots have to be nailed in to extend them and cover more wall spaioe. Prune back the yettow, winter flowering J. jMidiflora somewhat severely when it ceases flowering. Honeysuckles, when they hawe fur- nished any alloted space, withstand severe clipping.or pruning, and bloom better after- wards. Loam intended or pot plants in the spring cut now, will contain fewer.injurious insects than if deferred till miid«ivw^a.ther sets in, because wireworms and other pests go-•down out of the reach of frost; but do not cut it while the turf is frozen. The cut turves should never be stacked in a dry shed. Exposing the cut turves to frost has a beneficial effect upon them, sweetening and mellowing them. All turves should be cut, at least two months before they are to bemused—)ust long enough to kiU the grass. Lay them grass-side down- wards, each layer fitting closely on the top of another. Where used for pottmg Zonal Pelar- goniums. Chrysanthemums, Petunias, Fuchsias and similar plants, a thin layer of well-rooted manure and a dusting of bonemeai between the turves at the time of stacking win be very beneficial. Lime in any form is deadly to aU hard- wooded plants of the Azalea and Rhododen- dron class, the reason apparently being that it is deposited in the cells, and thus stops the circulation in much the same way as the de- posits in the joints of rheumatic persons. As water from the main is nearly always hard. it should not be used. or if there is nothing else it should first be boiled to get rid of the lime. and afterwards wet! shaken up to let it re- absorb some of the air which has been driven out. If. however, rain water can be obtained it will be still better. Culture of Hardy Azaleas. Hardy azaleas are very handsome subjects, and worthy of very extensive cultivation. The most suitable soil for them is a sandy peat, but any good soil into which a fair proportion of leaf-mould and sand have been worked wilt grow them ,tel1. With a stiff and wet soil it will be advisable to make up a, bed of good light loam and leaf-mould to a depth of about 18in. The usual depth of propagation are hv layers and cuttings. The layers should be notched and pegged down to the soil in the same way as carnations arc treated, but much Stronger pegs will be required to keep the layers in position. March is a suitable time for this operation, and the layers must not be removed from the parent plant, until the sec- ondvear. Cuttings maybe taken at the end of the summer, choosing young, soft shoots. which should he taken off WJth a heel and neatlv trimmed. They must then be inserted in a cold frame, and should remain there dur- ing the winter months. They strike with fair readiness, and may be planted out about the following April. It will be of advantage to the growth of the plant if most, if not all, ot its first season's blooms are removed as soon as the buds appear.

PERMANENT WAVING." A ease in which a young woman claimed jEM for injury toO her head and hair and waS awarded £75 was tried on Monday in Blooms- bury County Court. The defendants were Messrs Sattel and Aulauf. hairdressers, of Southampton-row" and Messrs Nestle and Co., Court hairdressers, of Oxford-street. It was stated that the plaintiN. Miss Mar- garet Blight, of Camden-square, who was apprenticed to Mr Aulauf, wentto the premises of Messrs Nestle and Co., and there her hair was subjected to special treatment to make it permanent waring." Mr Aulauf assisted in the process. Owing to the treatment her lieaa was scorched in two places, and on one spot the hair would not grow again. She was subsequently unable to go to her work for some weeks, and had to be sent away into the country.

PEER IN BURNING HOUSE. Hackness Hall, the seat of Lord Derwent, about six miles from Scarborough, was on Sun- dayafternoon the scene of a disastrous fire. The outbreak occurred about 3 o'clock, and a messenger on horseback rode at full speed to Scarborough. The flames rose to such a height that they could be distinctly seen from Scar- borough racecourse. Lord Derwent, who is an invalid, has just passed his 82nd birthday. He was safely removed from the hall. arid much sympathy will be extended to him in the destruction of so lovely a residence.

LIVING PICTURES IN COLOURS, A novel method of taking photographs in natural colours has been invented by a French scientist named Berthon, which seems likely to prove a solution of the interesting problem of cinematography in colours. He splits up the colours of the object photographed into the three primary colours, blue-violet, green, and orange, by means of three narrow coloured slits in the.lens of the camera. In front of an ordinary photographic film he puts a special screen consisting ot a great number of very narrow curved celluloid strips, which repro- duce images of the coloured portions of the lens over the ordinary photographic image on the film in their complementary colours. What looks like an ordinary photograph results, but when such a picture is thrown on a screen through a Ions with the three coloured slits similar to that ugfcd in taking the pictures .1-

A passer-by saw him thus suspended, and walked off to report his discovery to the local guard, who, when he arrived on the s pot, found quite a crowd as- sembled. He felt the body; perceived that it was still warm. but would not interfere, as th" tree happened to be standing on the ground of a neighbouring parish. He therefore proceeded to inform its special guard. After the lapse of half an hour tijis worthy returned with his comradc. and then ensued a long discussion a-i to whether the tree was Situated in one parish I or the other. So away they went to consult the ordnance maps. Hours rolled by. and when they at last met again on the scene of the tragedy they came to the agreement that the I tree was located in a third parish. They then walked off together to inform that particular guard, who, having visited the Spot and con- m firmed the opinion that tbetree was in his special domain, started qff to report the suicide to th« gendarmes, who finally cut the rope.
