RESPONDENT IN THE WORKHOUSE.
RESPONDENT IN THE WORKHOUSE. In the Divorce Court, on Tuesday, Sir Gorell Barnee had before him the petition of Mrs. Edith Mabel Morse for a divorce on the ground ■°f the desertion and misconduct of her husband, Mr. Frank Harry Morse, said to be a retired Army officer. Mrs. Morse stated that she was parried to her husband in New South Wales in August, 1893, and they afterwards came to Eng- land and lived in Crystal Palace-road, Peckhan. In April, 19G0, there was a quarrel, after which Jhe husband turned her out of the house. He had always been cruel to her, and they were con- stantly quarrelling. On one occasion, in fact, he ^nocked a tooth out and otherwise injured her. After she- left the house he had not returned to her or supported her. A witness, whose name '^as not mentioned, went into the box, and testi- fied as to her relations with Captain Morse.—Sir Gorell Barnes granted a decree nisi, with costs. On the question of the custooy of the children, his Lordship said that further leave must_ be ap- plied for, if they were going out of the jurisdic- tion.—Counsel (Mr. Pritchard) informed his lordship that the Captain was in a very poor State, and had gone to the workhouse.

All of them were brought safely out. Mr. Boorman had to be taken to the Great Northern Hospital, suffering from the effects of shock.

LAZIEST MAN ALIVE.
LAZIEST MAN ALIVE. Put up at the Clerkenwell Assizes to be sen- tenced as an incorrigible rogue and vagabond, Ralph Shackle, thirty-five, was said to have been convicted six times for refusing to main- tain himself, and seventeen times for refractory oonduct in the workhouse. Sent to an agricul- tural colony in Surrey, he was sent out one day with a horse and cart; but he set the horse loose, overturned the cart into a ditch, and marched back to London. Work of any kind was apparently too hard for this waster, who served his terms of punishment and promptly re- turned to the workhouse. After hearing a lengthy category of his misdemeanours, the chairman sentenced him to twelve months' hard labour.

£1.000 DAMAGES IN DIVORCE. Mr. Harry Barsdorf, whose address and posi- tion were not stated, has been ordered by Sir Gorell Barnes, in the Divorce Court, to pay a sum of £ 1,000 as damages for destroying the domestic peace of Mr. and Mrs. Heron, who formerly occupied a house at Knightsbridge. Mr. Horace Willets Heron married his wife Edith in November, 1901, and he now sought to have the marriage dissolved on the ground of re- spondent's misconduct with Mr. Barsdorf, whose acquaintance she made whilst staying at Folke- stone in 1903. A defence had been put in denying the allega- tion, but it was now stated that the misconduct would not be contested, and that the question resolved itself into one of damages. On this point also counsel was able to say that, subject to the approval of the Court, the amount to be awarded had been agreed at £ 1,000. After hear- ing the evidence, the jury assessed the damages at the agreed sum of £ 1,000, and his Lordship gave judgment for that amount and granted the petitioner a decree nisi, with costs.

NOT LEGALLY OFFENSIVE.
NOT LEGALLY OFFENSIVE. The definition of the word" offensive" came before the West London magistrate on Tuesday, when the Manbre Saccharine Company, of Ham- mersmith, were summoned for "suffering offen- sive matter to fall into the Thames." The substance, according to samples produced in Court, was quite inodorous, and Professor Groves stated that according to analysis it con- sisted of carbonat9 of lime, slaked lime, and earthy matter. The magistrate decided that the word offensive" must be interpreted in its legal, not its scientific or wider meaning, as something offansive merely to the senses; and accordingly he dismissed the summons. — A

ENTOMBED MINERS RESCUED.
ENTOMBED MINERS RESCUED. A disaster was reported on Saturday to have occurred in one of the coal-mines in the Clack- mannan mining region of Scotland, and five men were entombed and it was feared drowned. Other miners managed to make their escape, but the five men were cut off. On Monday, after ceaseless work for thirty- six hours, a working-party succeeded in estab- lishing communication with three of the five men. A 2in. bore between the upper and lower seams was completed, and as a result the rescuers were able to let food down to the three men, who were reported to be well, although nuch exhausted It was hoped that the rescue party would be able to reach tinw men in a day or two, as the pumping operations are get- ting the mastery of the water. All of the men complained £ ? the bitter cold, caused, it is sup- posed, through the influx of such a large quan- tity of water to the workings. The three men reported that they had heard sounds, which shewed that one if not both of the other en- tombed men in another part of the mine were still living. Tools were sent down through the bore to the three men to assist them in getting at the other two, and boring operations from the upper level were also begun. The three men with whom communication had been established were got out safely on Tuesday night, but the other two men remained entombed until Wednesday morning, when they were rescued in an exhausted condition.
SILVER COLLAR FOR HEROIC DOG
SILVER COLLAR FOR HEROIC DOG A solid silver collar has been presented to a retriever dog which saved the life of Mr. Harold Godwin, the son of a leading builder in the Potteries. The young man was passing through his father's works when a ruffian hurled a jagged piece of iron, weighing more than six pounds, full in his face, inflicting a fearful gash. Mr. Godwin was blinded with blood and half- stunned, but before his assailant could follow up the attack his faithful dog sprang at the man's throat and made him prisoner. The man is now in gaol; the dog has his silver collar, paid for by his master's workpeople who held a dinner in his honour.

CLEVER SURGICAL OPERATION.
CLEVER SURGICAL OPERATION. A youth named Richard Metcalf, aged sixteen, had a miraculous escape from death at Scorton, Lancashire. Playing with a six-chambered re- volver, he procured a supply of cartridges rather too large to fit the chambers. He trimmed them with a penknife, and loaded the revolver, when he accidentally touched the trigger.

Dr. Harrison, of Garstang. succeeded in extracting the bullet, but although Metcalf lost a large quantity of blood he is making satisfactory progress.
LECTURER SENT TO PRISON.
LECTURER SENT TO PRISON. Ernest John Thomas, alias Neuman Thomas, aged thirty-six, was indicted, at Essex Assizes, ou 1°btainin^ a shilling by false pretences at C hel m s f o r d. The prisoner was dressed in a frockcoat. He carried a top-hat, and wore gold- rimmed eye-gl-isses. Counsel for the prosecution said that the ac. cused man, calling himself Dr. Neuman Thomas, went about the country soliciting sub- scriptions for what he called the Scientific Temperance Lea-que "coudw asserted that this league was a fraud, and that the subscrip- tions were applied to the prisoner's own pur- poses. The prisoner occasionally delivered lectures, but although a temperance lecturer, he was not a total abstainer. Mr. Wilmot, the general secretary of the Church of England Temperance Society, said that he had favourable reports of the prisoner as a lecturer in 1904, and engaged him to give a course of lectures, but in consequence of the prisoner com.ng to the office the worse for liquor he at once stopped the lectures. Counsel for the defence said that the prisoner started the league, and had been trying to do good. It was a legitimate and genuine society, and there had been no false pretences. Mr. Justice Lawrence said the inventor of the Scientific Temperance League seemed to have fallen a victim to his own invention. The case reminded him of the story in the Pickwick Papers" of the Rev. Mr. Stiggins, who presided at a temperance meeting, and who vacated the chair not voluntarily, but involuntarily, falling to the ground. (Laughter.) The jury found :he prisoner guilty. It waa stated that in 1900 he was sentenced to three years' penal servitude for false pretences. He was now sentenced to eighteen months' hard labour.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCES AT SEA.
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCES AT SEA. The Caucasian Steam Shipping Company, Limited, owners of the steamship Balakani, which reached Port Arthur on January 20th, have received a letter from the captain of that vessel giving details of a gallant rescue of the crew of a sinking vessel in the Atlantic. When five days out from Queenstown the Balakani sighted the schooner Gladys, of New- foundland, in distress. She was practically derelict, the bulwarks, boats, deckhouses, and all movables having been washed away, as well as the bowsprit, jibboom. and all headgear. Only the masts were standing. The crew were lashed to the pumps. The schooner hoisted the signal Send boat immediately, ship sinking." and the master of the Balakani ordered a boat out. The sea was running high, making a clean breach over the schooner, and the rolling of the Balakani made the task of launching the boat exceedingly dangerous. 1 he boat was success- fully launched, and the trsk of rescuing the five men on board the Gladys gallantly accom- plished. They were in a pitiable condition. They stated that the captain had been washed over- board in a gale on December 27th. The Gladys was bound to Bristol with fish and oil.

HEALTH HINTS.
HEALTH HINTS. BY A FAMILY DOCTOR. HEART DISEASE: HYPERTROPHY. In discussing valvular disease of the heart we pointed out that increase of friction cf the blood from roughening of the inner surface of the heart demanded the output of greater power by that organ to keep up due circulation of the blood. This will be obvious to anyone who has made even a superficial study of physics. A pipe w rough inner surface will require more power exerted to force fluid through it than one Df glassy smoothness. Then, also, leakage of the valves means that the blood returns to the heart, and must be again and again pumped into the vessels, which is obviously a wa.ste of energy. When these things occur the heart must develop more power to compensate for the waste, and the nerve control of the circulation is so per.'oct that just the amount of extra energv will be de- manded that is necessary to keep the circulation up to the natural pressure and amount. The extra power needed, then, will be in proportion to the friction and Ic aka-e. and to meet it the heart muscle must increase its exertions. Like all muscles, it responds to the extra exertion by extra development. It increases in' bulk. and the sounds. owing to the extra energy expended. are increased in degree. It will be obvious also that the extra power will increase the leakage, but this is so trifling in degree when the original difficulty is moderate thai we need not pursue the point. Increase in size of the heart, such as we have mentioned, is called hypertrophy (overgrowth), and owing to the cause of this increase it is called compensatory. If the defect, and there- fore the hypertrophy, are small, the increase in bulk will be slight, and not readily detected by ordinary methods: but if they are large it is quite easy to discover. The apex-beat is dis- placed downwards and outwards, and the "car- diac dulness is greatly increased in area. When the strain of overwork is excessive, the hypertrophy fails entirely to meet the require- ments. and the heart cavities become enlarged, producing a further increase in its size, although not in the muscle, and therefore power, and "dilatation" occurs. This condition is very seri- ous, since it leads to further joss of power: and. moreover, it is in itself a confession of inability to continue the struggle successfully. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. "HYDRAULIC."—The languid feelings and deep sleepiness may arise from imperfect diges- tion. Your tongue may be irritated by rough- ness of the teeth rubbing on it. This is more likely to occur if they are decayed, because there is not only the mecbani.a! but the chemical irri- tation produced by the growth of bacteria in the teeth and mouth generally. If the teeth are defective have them put right, and use the following mouth-wash along with a toothbrush and powder: J?.—Ac-idi cnrbolici oz., Glycerini loz., Aquse ad lOoz. Mix and dissolve.

Do you eat ouly simple, digestible food? SOUTHPORT." — Only examination of the Urine can determine whether your kidneys are sound or not. but the symptoms do not point to them so much as you suppose. Take one of the following powders at bedtime, and repeat it every second night for a week unless it purges very violently, when you can extend the in- terval: R.—Hydrargvri subchloridi 30gr. Divide into six powders. One as directed. A. C."—We hope to deal with the subject in due course. SCEPTRE. "-Your symptoms may arise from dyspepsia in whole or part. At the same time, colliers are apt to suffer from a peculiar jerking of the eyeballs, known as mystagmus. You should consult a doctor.

TROUBLED."—We shall give you all we think; but first say if there is anything more to tell, especially with regard to a colourless dis- charge. JACKO."—The white centre of the pimple is in part pus, and it is apt to infect new parts of the skin, especially those which are upset by the blackheads. Prick the pimples and press out their contents, then bathe the parts with .water and biniodide of mercury soap.

Use the douche slowly (15 minutes), and use it night and morning and without fail, and you will soon be rewarded. "H.

Hi gofiodd ei Chrewr yn moreu ei hoes, Ei bysgwydd fach blygodd i gario y Groes Ewyllys yr Arglwydd fu'i chael ato Ef, A byr fu ei gyrfa o'r ddaear i'r Nef.

Gwaith olaf ei bywyd oedd weithred fydd byw, Sef "caeglu er taena wybodaeth am Dduw, A throediodd y ddaear y tro olaf i gyd, Mewn cyeswllc a'r Beibl i bobl y byd."

BELGIUM ON THE NILE.
BELGIUM ON THE NILE. A SEBIOUS SITUATION. The claims of Belgium in the Bahr-el-Ghza.1 and the persistent way in which King Leopold has for five years defied British and Egyptian jurisdiction has culminated in a position which may easily become serious. The Daily Mail Khartoum correspondent states that in January, 1904, M. Lemaire, with 130 native Congolese soldiers, appeared at Myolo. He said it was an expedition of a scientific nature, and ho was only surveying the territory, but he refused to with- draw or to recognise any authority other t-ban that of King Leopold. In March of last year the troops had disappeared, but two Congolese detachments had appeared, and being subse- quently increased to five, attacked the natives, killing 300. Since then the Egyptian Govern- ment has stopped the Belgian post and transport services on the Nile, and an attempt will pro- bably soon 00 made to cut off the food supplies of the mission, though this is difficult, as the force is in touch with its Congo base.
AN AUSTRIAN TRAGEDY.
AN AUSTRIAN TRAGEDY. PORTRAIT CLUE TO A MURDER As the result of the publication of a portrait, "the mystery of a murder which has created much excitement in Austria has been solved. Two weeks ago the body of a good-looking, well- dressed young woman, says a correspondent, was found in the snow at Raxenthal, a place ■two hours' journey by rail from Vienna. Two elegantly-dressed young women who had been seen with her had disappeared. A hundred de- tectives were engaged in the affair, but they could do nothing until a description of the girl's clothing and a portrait were published, and then a needlewoman in Vienna camo forward and iden- tified the victim. The murdered girl proved to be a Marie Meier, who had inherited a sum of 20,000 kronen from her father. It was remem- bered that she had associated with two sisters,' named Zeller, one employed as hotel cashier, and the other at a place of amusement in Vienna. They had induced Marie Meier to ac- company them to Raxenthal, under the pretence that they would find a bridegroom for her. There they strangled and robbed her, then re- turned to Vienna to seize her papers and obtain Eossession of her money. One of the girls would ave been married in a few days' to an opera > singer, bringing the stolen money as her dowry.
FRENCH SUBMARINE'S ESCAPE.
FRENCH SUBMARINE'S ESCAPE. A Toulon correspondent reports that an acci- dent which caused great excitement occurred j there on Monday during the naval manoeuvres. The submarine Bonace wy carrying out manoeuvres in conjunction with the battleship lena, and as the battleship approached the sub- marine the latter dived beneath the warship's keel. The first manoeuvre was completely suc- cessful, but when the Bonace tried to repeat the experiment, a miscalculation was made, and she collided with the keel of the battleship. The bows of the submarine were stove in, but fortu- nately her watertight compartments were not pierced and she rose to the surface and was able to put into Toulon without assistance.

FUGITIVE LUNATIC RECAPTURED.
FUGITIVE LUNATIC RECAPTURED. A singular development has taken place in con- nection with the case of the man giving tiie name of Robson, who was charged at Burton-on-Trent last Friday with loitering with intent to commit a felony. Names had been cut out of his cloth- j ing, and he refused all information with regard to himself. A billiard match list on him con- taincd the name of a doctor, who was found to live at Cheadle, near Manchester, and who identified Robson as James Gerrard, a mining engineer, who escaped from Cheadle AsyJum ten days before. The man had talked so rationally to the police that they never suspected him to be an escaped lunatic.
A MORAL VICTORY.
A MORAL VICTORY. Though in England tho spirited assaults of Liberals on Tory strongholds are apt to be thoiuht lightly of in these days of unheard-of j victories, sor.:o of them are very meritorious j indeed. Amongst the number should be reckoned Mr. A. M. Mandeviile's achievement at Newark, whers he fought a plucky and vigorous fight, re- ducing the Tory lead to 328 in a constituency which it was not considered worth while contest- ing at the last election. Mr. Mandeville has pulled the previous majority down by no fewer than 1,963 votos. Like tho typical Englishman that he is, he has already signified his intention of contesting the seat again. Mr. Mandeviile's popularity was strongly evidenced by the fact that some 2,000 people gave him a hearty send- off when leaving Newark. He conducts London Opinion, and is well known in London financial circles as the moving spirit of that prosperous in- atitution "The London and Paris Exchange."

you any WHIQOWS to clean or fiooTS to wash?" asked the tramp, as he presented him- self at the back door. "Dear me!" replied the lady, you don't look like a man that ivould clean windows or wash floors." Oh, no," said the wanderer, I'm looking for work for my .wife." Mrs. Green (who thinks of engaging): But is the girl honest? Can she be trusted?" Mrs. Brown (the girl's former mistress): You need not be in the least alarmed. She is perfectly honest. All the time she was with me I never knew her to take a thing—not even my advice as to how things should be done." Do you remember, dear," he asked, as they sat down on one of the rustic seats in the park, "that I cut your initials on this tree behind us three or four years ago?" "\Yhy, no, George," she replied, I don't remember that. Are you sure?" He rose, walked round the tree, and in- spected the bark closely. "Yes,' he said, "it's the same tree all right, but it was another girl." The horse, a very handsome animal, had just changed hands. I do not see any fault in him," boasted the proud buyer. "No; and I can assure you that he will never see any in you," remarked the foxev salesman, pocketing the money. It was net until the horse had walked into a post on his way out of the ring that the buyer realised the trf..th of this remark. The horse, was blind.

WELSH SCHOONER MISSING.
WELSH SCHOONER MISSING. The gravest fears are entertained in Pcrt- madoc for the safety of the Portmadoc schooner Pluvier, which left Figuiera, Portugal, in ballast on December 23rd, for Portmadoc, and has not been heard of since. The names of the crew are Captain Ebenezer Parry, Port- madoc, master and part owner; Francis Jones, Portmadoc, mate; Stanley Terrells, Swansea; Peter Hamilton, Glasgow; and a German named Mossi. A watch with Terrell's name thereon was picked up last week on the beach at Rennies, near Cork, but no wreck appears to have occurred in that neighbourhood.
HUMOUR OF THE DAY.
HUMOUR OF THE DAY. FROM CONTEMPORARY SOURCES. The efficiency of our postal service is some- times called in question. At Market Harborough on Tuesday, however, an effort was made to de- liver a letter which had been posted in London on January 9th, 1872. The addressee happened to be dead, but for this. of course, the postal au- thorities are in no way to blame. Now that attention is be' iig- paid to the cellars of the National Gallery and their art treasures, it is opportune to recall the saying- of a states- man who spoke of the Turners there, and said, mournfully, Ars est celare artem." During- the heavy scour of the. beach at Alde- burgh (Suffolk) in Sunday's great gale, many coins were washed up, including an Edward VI. sixpence in good preservation. This must be al- most the nearest approach. the Westminster Gazette imagines, to the obtaining of gold from sea-water. The keeper of the only public-house in Gel- terkinden, a little village near Bale, Switzer- land, having raised the price of beer a half- penny a glass, all the workmen of the village have agreed to give up drink until the old price is restored. The temperance party should con- sider the decoration of so notable a worker in the cause. Mr. Philip O'Doherty, the Member for North Donegal, has been expelled from the Gaelic Athletic Association in Co. Londonderry be- cause he attended a smoking concert given by a local cricket and football club. It is understood that bridge and political meetings are the only athletic sports recognised in Co. Londonderry. Who's that?" said the Stranger to Fleet- street, pointing to a long-haired celebrity, "is he a genius?" "Oh, no," replied the habitue, "he's an author." The Graphic regrets the absence of wit from modern conversation, and adds that few bon mots one hears are legal. Such enconnfcgement of Mr. Plowden will inevitably lead to serous results. Jewellery, gold, and securities to the value of £ 600 have been found in a roon Aldersgate, whose former occupant had been removed to the Stone Lunatic Asylum. Appropriately enough, the discoverer of this wealth was the relieving officer.
