An enormous quantity of counterfeit I Knasian notes have been accidentally dis- I eovered near Berne, Switzerland; Some children were playing on the bank of the river Limmath, when they discovered an odd looking parcel, which they carried home. The parcel was found to contain several thousand splendidly executed im- itations of Bossian bank notes. Most of them were of the denomination of three roubles and the whole amount repreflent" [ed on the face of the notefl was 93?5,000. The Swiss authorities have notified the Roaaian Government and detectives are [oil their way here to make an inrestipfa- [tion. It is feared that many of the ranterfeit notes have already been cir- anlated both in Bossia and this conntiy. la tlM 7«ar 1881 dim vm 669 dwtta reeocded In England idoiM from poison- imt, whi je y«ar 1882 ahowa » l aeo r d eonatdcnhly in vxeaaa of this, via, 609, or one in emy 863 of the total daatlia wgfatered.

This mii^ht have been expected from preparations so largely used in domestic remedies but the 78 deaths from lead poisoning which followed do surprise us, in view of the fact that the conditions which produce as well as the conditions which miti^^te or counteract the effects of this subtle poison are now so well known. Lead is followed by the four stronger acids â€" hydrcchloric, nitric, sul- phuric, and carbolicâ€" which among them nave caused 34 dta^^s under the same category. Arsei to, a^ain, caused 9 phosphorus, 11 cUlorcdyne, 6 chloral, 14 chloroform, 4 soothing syrup, 4, with, a host of casualties from substances oi minor importance. Beading between the lines of the Registrar- General's re- port, which i'j is not difficult to do with the help of the medi'al journals, we will find that there are two prolific causes of these accidents- first, the giving or taking of overdospB of certain remedies contain ing poison, and, second, the substitution r-f one bottle or substance for another, aa. for example, where a number of tub- stances are congregated together, as m the case of the domestic cupboard. In the first case may be instanced the giving of overdoses of opiates or soothing pre- parations to children the taking of over- doses of narcotics or Boothing compounds, such as chloroal, by habitual drinkers, and the general familiarity which the handling or using of ttese powerful agents frequently begets in those habit ually using them. In the second class msy be instanced such mistakes as the substitutmg of one bottle containing, say, a poisonous liniment for a mixture intend- ed for internal administration the hasty and foolish practice of quaffing off a draught from any jug, ' bottle, or dish without examining the contents, and, lastly, mistakes caused from accumulating withia easy access powerful medicines in the hope that they may come of future use.

An English magazine contains an article entitled: "What Dreams Are Made Of." As the author fails to mention min.'e pie, pickled pigs' feet, fruit cake and several other indigestible things, it is evident he has tackled a subject upon which he lacks information. -Bric-a-brac is fast disappearing from fashionable mantle-pieces," read Mrs. Crims nbeak from the daily papers the othereveniie.

On the evening of Dee. 17, 18S4i, a eanciage drove to th» mala entxaitce of the ball and three gentleoien alighted and aaked to see Mr. Sttongtharin One of them, who gave liis name as Mr. Lovett, said be was a lawyer of Olonoeeter, and iniro need another aa Mr Sbotwell, a London attorney. The other a youth of about 83, was not Introduced until later on. **We have eome^" said Mr. Lovett, **about a very peeoliar aflEiir. Tour late brother married here, I believe, about the Tear 18 6, and has one child, Eveline. Were you atrare that he was married previous to that time? We have evi- dence incontrovertible that in June, 1800 he was married near Oardiff^ in Wales, to one 'Eleanor Lewis,' by whom he had a son, who is alive and heir tr his father's estate. This is the VLung gentleman â€" Mr. Charles Strongtharin, named after bis father." Mr. Lovett with a wave of his hand indicated the young gentleman referred to. "Now," said Mr. Lovett, 'I may say that this young gentlman's mother, the lawful wife of Charles Strongtharin, still lives." "I know not," replied Mr. Edward Strongtharin, 'what to answer. At the Dest it would be but a temporizing one, aa, of course. Miss Eveline iand h«r legal adviser would have to be consulted " Af cer further talk the visitors rose to depart, but on reaching the door was in- formed by the ooachman that one of hiH horses had gone lame and it was imp s- sible to use them, and there was nothing left for Strongtharin to do but to offer them shelter for the night. When the servants arose at Griff hall the next morning they found their master in his bedroom with his throat cut. His strong box had been broken open and its valuable contents, consisting of its old family jewels and silverware and a large sum of money were missing. The library had been ransacked and other places where auythipg of value was likely to be had been vi»ited, and a magnificent sword studded with precious gems of priceless worth, presented to an ancestor of ttie family by Charles II was among the articles missing. It is reedless to say that the three visitors of the evening before could not be found. Detectives fr^m L ndon began a very thorough investigation. The fact was ascertaiaed t^at the carriage which had passed thirough the neighbouring toll-gate at about 7 o'clock in the evening returned at 3 o'cl ck in the morning. It had avoided th main road ft r some distance, and was then heard of at Castletdn, on the great north road. At Castleton the men had separated and gone away singly, and all search for them was in vain. After the death of Mr. El ward Strong- tharin the heiress, instead of returning to Griff hall at the end of her visit in Somersetshire, went to London to reside with her grandaunt. Lady Ainsworth, a woman ad varced in years and of great wealth. Among her aunt's donoestic* Eveline saw a woman named Harper, whom she fancied she had seen before, and. after some reflection, it suddenly occurred to her that the womsn had for some time been employed ia the laundry at Griff hall, just before Eveline's de- parture for Somersetshire. The woman evidently did not recognize the person of Eveline, but on learning from her fellow- servants that the young lady was the niece and ward of Mr. Strongtharin, who had recently been murdered, she grew nervous and excited, and in a few days afterwards gave notice that she intended to leave, on the ground of ill-health and want of rest. "She is pretty well off," Eveline's maid said to her mistress, "for she has plenty of money in her trunk, and I have seen her with jewelry in her possession fit for a queen. When I asked her wh»re she got them she replied that one of her eld mistredses gave them to her at h3r death. Oaeof them is especially beauti- ful â€" a griffin of carbuncles and garnets with emeralds and diamonds mixed, set in stiver." Now, this was an exact description of one of the pieces of family jewelry stolen from Griff hall on the night of that dread- ful crime. Eveline communicated the fact to Lady Ainsworth, who considered it of such importance that she immediately drove to her lawyer's, who went to Scotland Yard and consulted with the authorities there. The' result was the examination of the contents of the servant's trunks, unknown to her, and indentification beyond question of the silver griffin and of a small gold watch made at Florence, and studded with pearls, as part of the jewelry stolen from the hall. The same evening a notorious outlaw, known as the Hawk, was discovered prowling in the neighbor- hood of Lady .^answor's dwellii^, and in a little time the servant Harper came out and joined him. They were traced to the great Turnstile, in Lincoln Inn Fields, and there the perpetrators of the Griff hall murder and several of their associates, wanted for other crimes, were captured. The three men engaged in. the crime at Griff hall were tried at hall assises In 1826 and convicted, and in twentj-fonr hours paid the penalty of their misdeeds.

That land in small parcels should be looked upon as a good security for loans by bankers in Switzerland is strong evidence of the system of transfer end registration cf chaises. In England and Ireland the possession of land in small parcels ramains, notwithstanding recent changes in the law, as Lord Brougham described it, "a luxury which a rich man may indulge in, but a ruinous extrava- gance in the man of small means. Sir Rubert Torrens thus describes the effect of the English system on land considered as a security for a loan 'The value of the land as a basis of credit is seriously depreciated by the curiously fictitious, we may say absurd, procedure in the case of mortgage the object being to hypothe- cate or charge the land with a sum of money as security for a loan. Instead of doing this in a .straightforward and direct manner, as is done by a dozen lines in the space of fifteen minutes under registration of title, the estate of the mortgagor is conveyed to the mortgagee by deed subject to a right of redemption." In the words ot the same writer "The system of conveyancing in this kingdom is by means of its insecurity, costliness, delays, complexities, and cumbrousness, unsuited to the requirements of this commercial age, and does seriously depreciate the natural value of land." In spite of the undoubted fact that, no matter how ample may be the value of the parcel of land in comparison with the loan, the security of a small plot of land is baid be- cause it is only realizable at very great expense, an urgent demand ia made that public money should be largely lent in Ireland on small parcels of land. Little is said and nothing proposed in the way of changing the law so as to make Hub security gcmd by being easily realiaable and tran^erable. This might be done by bringing land on which public money is loaned, and at the moment when the title ia cleared for that purpose, nnder a system of registration of tiUe and by pro- hibiting for such parcels the creation of entails, trusts, and such estates as would make the title complicated and not trans- ferable at any moment. Wbat Kainber Of Meals? Respecting the number of meals one ought to patronize, that mnstbe r^^ulated by want and habit. To digest well, it is necessary that the stomach should have completely dealt with the previous meal. However feeble and delicate stomachs have need to eat but little at a time, though frequently. Also, to make aa intdligent selection of thoce aliments which refresh, heat and sustain. The aliment which digests best is the most suitable. Iigestion is but the preference of the ston^^ for some thii^ it hkes, the attraction of suitable ingredients; it is the sustaining of our organs and their tissnes, tmd if the stomach be beaUbyand weH-conttitated, its {aaOBst will never beat fault.

Rebelling benNU^ the story is a remarkable one. lbs. Schel'ing, in reply to qaeitiena on the snbjecfe, said " From diildbood up it has been my pleasure to roam at will through the foreat which sunoanded my home. Biding, too, was a great enjoymrat to me, not because Bmest drove, for then I bad no interest in him. One day I went to ride cm the road that winds along ike banks of the beautiful Hudson Biver. From one point on that road, the ruins of an old stnne mansion are visil4e. It stands on the top of a hill at a coni^ec- able distance from the road ta the right. I bad often wished to go nearer to its moss-grown walls, but had always been deterred by some member of the family being with ase, or else tiie sign marked ' dangerous,' which was nailed to a tree in front of it.. But this day I was alone and determined. BKNIST DBOVB, and, notwithstanding his entreaty, 1 sprang out of the carriage and was soon peermg into the great entrance of the old ruin. Arming myself with a stick, I puahsd aside the vines and creepers that overhung the ipen door and stood within the great hallway, which was filled with poisonous undergrowth. The interior presented such a wild and gloomy aspect that I was almost on the point of running away. Had I done so, Victoria Morosini would never have married Ernest Schtll- ing. Being that day nCBIBBD WITH A SPIBIT OP ADVBNTCKB,^ I mounted to the top of a flight of atone steps. There I found a narrow hallway leading into a large room at the back. I started to traverse that hall, bat on taking three or four st^ps forward there was a crash. I felt myself falling, falling, and then I became unconscious. When I regained my senses some days after, I was lying in bed in my father's house, surroonded by anxious friends and re- latives,and Earnest (who had rescued me, crushed and bleeding, from beneath the wrecked floor) stood over me with a white face. They were awaiting for the doctor's decision as to my chances tor life. I had lingered for days, wasting slowly. " It is a serious wound," said the physician. " She has suffered great loss, of blood, and I predict her death within an hour, unless the one chance that alone remains for her is taken. It is blood tranfusion." All this I heard him say witnoub being able to open my eyelids or speak a word. Then there was another pauae. Not one of them moved. Then Ernest Schelling steppe 4 forward, and without a moment's hesitation he BABBD HIS STBOirO BIGHTF ABM and said calmly; yet oh, so determinedly: ** Take from my veins the last drcip of blood if it will save her life." The blood was transfused from Ernest's arm to mine. He saved my life, for I was strong almost immediately. Then there arose an in- tuitive attachment between us. How could I resist loving the man to whom I owed my life, and who pleaded for that loveâ€" the being wh( se life-blood courses in my blood, warming me back to life* It was a great debt I owed 4iim, and one I have cheerfully paidâ€" if, indeed, the poor recompense of my willing hand could pay it. He says it has. Oar vows, at least, are indisolab!e. It is a bond of love between us that is fixed, unaltered, unalterable. Had la thousand years of my life, I'd live it all with him and now you know why Victoria Morosini wedded Ernest Schelling." About OatmeaL A dish of oatmeal en the breakfast-table is now BO much a matter of course in this country thiiat the tiaing generation who properly appreciate the matutinal por- r-dge will be asconirhad to learn that this wholesome diet has only come in general use within the last fifteen years Curiously enough, the merit of its introduction among us is mainly d^e, not to a native •f the "Land o' Cakes," aa might reason- ably have been the cue, but to the business energy of a poor but far sighted German, who, in th« nature of things, haul practical acquaintance with the ex- cellent qualities of the food which he has been so largelv instrumental in giving to a willing people. The story of this old German, Ferdin- rnd Schumacher by name, who began the manufacture of oatmeal at Akron, O., in the most modest way, and who is now the owner of great weidth, including half a dozen millc, two grain elevatois, and several warehouse ' with upward of a thousand people employed in his oatmeal business, is remarkable, illustrating as it does the success which sometioies results from a happy idea wisely carried oat. 6o far there has been nothing but benefit to those who use the morning porridge as a palatable aad healthfu «diange froi]| the cakes made of buckwhea and other grains, which were formerly consumed in far greater quantities than since oatmeal made its appearance to share tha favor then and stoQ accorded them. -Bind nature has dealt so lavishly with us in the varie^ and excellenee of the cereal products that we have noD to depend upon any single ene of them tif' round out the pleasures of the morning meal to their fullest proportions.
