PEER AND DANCER. T SACKVILLE CLAIM FAILS. The remarkable Sackville peerage case was ended on Monday, when Sir John Bigham gave judgment against the claimant, with costs. Air. Ernest Henri Jean Baptiste Sackville- West, the claim-ant, had sought to prove a marriage between his father, the late Lord Sackville, and his mother, a Spanish dancer, Josephine Duran de Ortega, also known as Pepita. It was known that the late peer and the dancer lived together, and that they had several children. The present Lord Sackville, a nephew of the late peer, in opposing the claim, declared that no such marriage took place. The ease, said his lordship, was divided: into two. There was first the alleged marriage of Pepita, and Lord Sackville, who after he became acquainted with her about 1852 made her his migtregs. She told him she was a married woman, and a copy of the certificate of her marriage with Oliva, a Spaniard, was found among her papers after her death. If that were true, and his lordship believed it was, then the late Lord Sackville from the first knew Pepita was a married woman and that her hus- band was alive. Therefore it made it all the more improbable that Lord Sackville would have gone through a useless form of marriage with Pepita. On June 24, 1869, the petitioner was born, and was registered as the legitimate son of Lord Sackville (Mr. Saekville-Weet as he then was) and Pepita. The last child was born in March, 1871, and was also registered ae the son of Lord Sackville and Pepita. Pepita died on March 10, 1871, and her child was buried with her. Pepita was described as the wife of Lord Sack- ville and buried as his wife. If the matter stood on these facts alone it would not be unreasonable to infer that a mar- riage had been celebrated at eome time be- tween them, but the inference was entirely re- butted by the evidence. If Pepita were the late peer's lawful wife why should he dishonour her memory by denying the fact of their marriage? and if the children were legitimate, why should he dishonour them by cruelly disowning them? There was no answer to those questions. The petitioner in a letter to his own sister referred to the fact that they were all illegitimate children. The marriage between Pepita and Oliva, however, was proved beyond all doubt, observed his lordship. The petition would therefore be dismissed with costs. I

A LUNATIC'S CHOICE A. prisoner who prefer* penal servitude to detention in a criminal lunatic asylum ap- pealed to the Court of Criminal Appeal. The man, Albert William Ireland, was found guilty of unlawful wounding, and ordered to be detained in Broadmoor Asylum during his Majesty's pleasurp. It was now stated that the man did not appeal from his conviction, but against the detention in the asylum. He said he was not insane at the time he committed the offence, as it was suggested he was. The reason for his appealing was fhat he preferred to under- go a term of penal servitude befitting his crime rather than be incarcerated in an asvlum for the remainder of his life. He was plaintiff in a county-court action against a Mrs. Bussey, who, he said, told lies which resulted in the woman winning the case. When he got outside he seized a butcher's knife and plunged it into the woman's neck, and he now said. he was sane when he did that. Mr. Justice Darling: But he said, "God told me to do it for the lies she told." Are those the words of a sane man? They are rather the words of a lunatic. 1

HOME HINTS. 0 A foaspconful of common salt in 0 gtMa Of water will relieve colic. To remove mildew, rub parts with gteem tomato, and wash as usual. A little, whiting put on a damp cloth, SriH clean paint easily and well. Never neglect to season food well before sending to the table to be served. Insomnia may often be driven away by drinking a glass of hot milk just before retir- ing. To melt the jelly purchased in bottle, stand the bottles in warm water until thei* contents become liquefied. A good way to tell when ham is friefl enough is by the fat. When the fat is brown (not burnt) the ham is done. Odd bits of celery, if washed and dried slowly in the oven, will keep for weeks, and can be used for flavouring soups and stews. When polishing furniture, add a little vinegar to the polish; this will get rid of the dead, oily look so often noticed after cleam- ing. To clean rusty steel, cover it with paraffin, and leave it for twenty-four hours. Wipe o. the paraffin, and polish the steel with pow- dered emery until it is bright. Baked Eggs with Cheese.—Beat the white* of the eggs to a stiff froth. Mix grated cheese with the whites (allowing one table- apoonful of cheese to each egg). Salt to taste. Turn into a well-buttered dish, and drop the yolks whole a inch and a half apart on to it. Bake until the yolks are done t. suit the individual taste. In any case of poisoning, get the patient te drink a large quantity of milk, beaten ergs, or even flour and water. This tends to dilute the poison, and makes the emetic more effec- tual. An emetic should be administered as promptly as possible, unless the lips appear burnt, which is a sign that the ponton it of ft corrosive nature. ,<¡<o1:í.4 r Stewed Beef and Rice.—Cut one pound ol beef steak into neat pieces, waeh half pound of rice, and put both together into %pan with an onion, cut small, pepper and salt, and one quart of water. Cover closely, and let it stew slowly for three hours. Chop some parsley fine, and stir it in juat before serving. Sago Soup.—Put two ounces of safo into ft saucepan with three pints of water, three- pennyworth of bones, two sliced onions, head of celery cut small, two turnips, and season- ing to taste. Cook until soft; then rub through sieve, return to the saucepan, add one gill of milk and a little cayenne. Serve with croutons. Chestnut Soup.—Boil one quart of cheet- nuts for twenty minutes. Remove the sheila and the skins. Put into a saucepan with enough boiling water to cover them, add a teaspoonful of salt and a piece of lemon rind, and when soft rub through a sieve. Then pour over them, stirring all the time, two quarts of eome weak stock, and add a tablespoonful of butter rolled in flour. Bring to a boil, and serve very hot. If preferred, the butter may he left out. One wajf to give lingerie a dainty scent «■ to put orrig-root, into the water in which the clothes are boiled. It will impart a faint per- fume of violets to the clothes. Another method is to fill little muslin bage with freshly-powdered orris-root and put them among the linen on its return from the laundry. Browning.—Take an old iron pan, make it quite hot, rub it over with a little dripping; then put into it a pound of brown sugar. Stir it over the fire with an iron spoon until it is all melted and a dark brown liquid. Remove it from the fire and allow it to cool fifteen minutes; then pour into it half a pint of water, return it to the fire and stir carefully till quite smooth. When it is cool, pour it into a bottle and cork it tightly. When not in use hot-water bottles made of rubber should never be shut away in a drawer or cupboard where no light can reach them. All rubber articles keep in better con- dition when exposed to the air and light, and last much longer if treated in this manner. It is a great mistake to allow hot-water bottlee to remain full of water during the dayti.e until they arc once more required, the best method being that of emptying out the water and then inflating them half full at air. If you hav* to use a bright, clean saucepan over a smoky fire, smear a little grease the bright pairt tsifore putting it on. This prevents the smoke from hurting it; and, if you wash it in hot soapy water afterwards, it will be as bright again as ever. Nickel plate must be frequently cleaned and polished. Clean it with a mixture of am- monia and washing soda, and then polish it with a little thin whiting paste on a leather. I* cleaning of this kind is given every week it will be easy to keep the nickle bright, but if it is once allowed to get dull and shabby- looking, it will take some time sod trouble to restore it to its original brightness.

FUN AND FANCY. *1 say, my man, have you seen a golf bftlf about?" "No, mum; but I've got one in me pocket as I brought from 'ome as I can sell yer." An English tourist asked a Hieland lassid whether it was customary for girls in her country to ga about barefooted. "Pairtly they do, and pairtly they mind their own business! the girl answered sharply. "Did you hear that the daughter of that rich man in the next street had been driven from home ?" "No! When did it happent'* "Just after she got into the carriage." Stranger (to native in Duke-street, Liver- pool): "Would you please tell me where I can find a large medical library in this city?" Citizen (solemnly): "Underground, air; I there you will find the greatest works of physicians." Young Doctor (breathlessly): "I am ioid I that a gentleman who lives it this house has just broken a leg." Resident: "Yes. Aro you a carpenter? Young Doctor: "A car- penter? No; I'm a surgeon." Resident: "We want a carpenter, not a doctor. It's a woodea leg." ) I "Who is that man I hear talking in the kitchen, Mary?" asked a mistress of her cook. "Please, ma'am, he's—er—he's my long-lost brother." "Then please be good enough to lose him again—as quickly as you can! mid the lady. I u Good afternoon, Miss Brown! Going for a walk? May I go with youT" asked an elderly but ardent admirer of the lady. T es; my doctor says that we must walk with an object, and I suppose you'll answer the purpose! "Things never happen just right," said the moody man. "The pianist in the flat atiovo me has a sore throat, and the girl who i.0 training to sing in grand opera has just sprained her C¡:i'tI"w' ——— f "You seem to have a good deal of faith in ( doctors," said the friend of the sick man. "I have," was the reply; "a doctor would be foolish to let a good customer like me die." "That's a fine-looking old gentleman ( Brown's father, ian't it?" asked a collegian of a friend. "Yes," was the answer; "but he is a champion at breaking his word!" "You don't say so?" "Yes—he stutters!" Irate Passenger (who has managed to board a motor-bus that didn't stop): "Sup- pose I'd slipped and lost a leg, then what?" Conductor (kindly): "You wouldn't have to do any more jumpin' then. We always stops for a man with a crutch." "But I am so unworthy, darling," he mur- mured, as he held the dear girl's hand in his. "Oh, George," she sighed, "if you and pspft agreed on every point as, you,, do pn that, how happy we would be." Turnbull: "They have a big dinner party at Blanque's to-night to signalise the engage- melit-" Jenks (breathlessly): "Indeed! Which daughter?" Turnbull (continuing) s "The engagement of a new cook." Tramp: "Please, mum, me and my mate are shipwrecked sailors." Lady: "Fiddle- sticks Neither of you was ever near the sea." Tramp: "Quite right, lady. We was on a airship!" Bald-headed Gentleman (having his boots polished in an hotel): "Confound it! you take an abominably long time about it." Shoeblack: "Yes, sir; it ain't done so quick as when you 'as your 'air cut!" "I asked the young woman in front of me to remove her big hat, so that I could see the stage." "Did she do it?" "No; she said if the held her hat in her lap, she couldn't set the stage herself." "An artist," said the man with pointed whiskers, "must not think about money." "I suppose not," answered Mr. Tompkins. "Every time I buy a picture the artist want# enofugh to keep him from thinking about money for the rest of his life." Lord Roberts once promised to inspect th. boys' brigade battalion in Glasgow, but at the last moment was prevented by illnem. A local officer was secured to fill his place, and in selling tickets for the inspection it was thought only fair to let purchasers know that the distinguished field-marshal would hot be present. One small brigade boy came up and asked for two tickets for his father and mother. The clerk said, "Do your father and mother know that Lord Roberts is not to be present?" The boy replied, with a look of self-confidence, "It's no Lord Roberts they'll comin' to see, it's me." The employees of a large factory in Glal., 1 gow recently held their annual excursion. There was a programme of sports, and one of the items thereon wa's the veterans' race. Only two competitors faced the starter, and, much to the chagrin of one of the Ipectator8 at least, the oldest of the sprinters won easily by yards. Whilst helping the unsuc- cessful runner on with his coat, the disap- pointed spectator said: "A lost a bob over yo losing, Tam. A had ye backed tae win easily." "Ah, well," said Tam, consolingly, Mye ocht tae hiv backed me fer a place!" Willie: "Papa is going to let you marry sister." Featherstone: "How do you knowl" Willie: "lie said, after all, you were better than nothing." A motorist was stopped by a policeman, the light on the car being insufficient. Ho gave his card to the constable. "G. J. Smith," read the man in blue. "Go on with you!" he exclaimed. "I want your proper name and address. We've too many Smiths about here. Now, look sharp!" "Then, said the motorist, "if you must have. it, il's William Shakespeare, Stratford-on-Avon "Thank you, sir," replied the policeman. "Sorry to have troubled you!" And he care- iuily entered the particulars in his book.

SENTENCED FOR FORGERY. Heavy sentences were passed at the OM Bailey on Monday upon Charles Wellings (45), agent; Herbert Millington (26), job-master; Charles Clarke (24), steward and Henry Bev- iagton (48), no occupation, for forgery against the Bank of England. j It is alleged that the men were concern, Led in foring and cashing a cheque for £ 1,600. Mil- j lineton and Clarke had pleaded guilty, and last Friday Bevington was found guilty of forging an endorsement on a cheque which was alleged to have served as a model for the present cheque. Mr. Bennett Calvert, on behalf of Williams, submitted that it was clear he could have had mothing to do with the forging of the cheque, The evidence was that on December 14, at the time when it was suggested that the forgery was made, Wellings was in a state of collapse from drink. Whoever forged the^cliecyjct must have had a copy of tie signature some time before, and the evidence was that the cheque which it was suggested served as a model was paid into the bank before Wellings had an opportunity of seeing it. As for his havirg been concerned in changing some of the notes which were the pro- ceeds of the forgery, that might have been done without guilty knowledge. The jury found Wellings and Bevington guilty. Hie lordship then passed the following sentences: Wellings, five years' penal servi- tude Millington, 18 months' hard labour; Clarke and Bevington each three years' penal servitude.

MAJOR'S WEALTHY WIFE. An American judge's daughter, Mrs. Mary Madeline Hall, with an income of L10,000 a year, was on Monday divorced by her husband, Major Charles Spencer Hall, retired, residing at Evercreech, Somerset, formerly in the Oxford Light Infantry. There was no defence. j The marriage took place at St. George's, Hanover-square, in 1902, and Mrs. Hall soon afterwards went to America. It was arranged I that Major Hall should 1"0 out later, but on his arriving rather unexpectedly the wife declined to live with him. Evidence showed that Mrs. Hall went to Providence, Rhode Island, and having obtained domicile, divorced her husband on the allegation of neglect to provide. As the lady had EIO,000 a year and the major only £ 500 that was rather far-fetched, counsel thought. Then she married Mr. Herbert Mel- ville Harriman—a bigamous marriage, said counsel, as Major Hall was a domiciled English- man. Other evidence showed that Mrs. Hall was a daughter of Judge Bradley, and at the time of her marriage to Major Hall was a widow namee Stephens. A decree nisi was granted.
