The out put of the coal nines in Yorkshire during 1884 was less lij abuut 200,000 tons than that of the ! ye*r 1883. I God helps the man who helps him* ; self " appears, written up iv a bush : gum store, with the highly suggestive addendum, " but God help the man who ia caught helping himself here," When Harry Grhushaw won th« two Thousand on Giadiatenr, Count Legraugc did n«t give him a penny, ; nor did he sjivu him auytiiing over the . Derby. At Ascot however, after the ■ Grand Prize of i'aris had lieen won, I the Count gave his jockey £8000, aad ■ said, ' I will make it 4*5000 if you win ; the St Ledger.' Grimshaw received the full amount. A street hawker was recently sentenced iv England to fourteen days' imprisonment for purveying fals* ; news. A story is told of a shrewish Scotch woman who ttied to wean her husband from the public house >*y employing 1 her brother to act the part of a gUost, and frighten John «v Ins way home. i "Who are you ?" said »h« quid nan, ' as the apparition rose before him from behind a bush.

After each stating their case, it appeared that there was 3s 4d in dispute. The oue stoutly said ; he" would not pay the other said he would be paid. The lawyer suggested they should leave it to him, to which , they agreed. Before entering upon | the arbitration he required his fee, 18s 4d, te be paid down. They each hanI ded «ver 63 Bd. The lawyer thereupon ; pocketing 10s, handed 8s 4d to the i claimant thereof, and so settled the ! matter. The would be litigants walked : out, expressing themselves satisfied, I but somehow felt that they had been I done. { Whilst visiting the tombs of the late [Emperor Napoleon and the Prince I Imperial at St. Mary's Church, Chiselhurst, on November 8, the Empress Eugenic met with an accident it I appears that on arrivingat the approach to the church in which i«er Majesty on these occasions usually attends nass, the attendant opened the door of the vehicle, in order that she might alight, and while doiug so the horses, which I were somewhat fresh moved, and he sprang forward to stop them, leaving the door but partly •pen. Her Majesty, thinking that the step was all right, put her foot down and was in the a«t. ot getting out of the vehicle when £he step gave way under' the presure, }nd the Jsnipßesß fellwith violence to theground. The ladies in waitin promptly came to Her Majesty's awhst* ance, and had her take*if into the rfesj. : d»naV.;ot tbjrdßigh* Rev. -Monsi^upr Goddard, where it was ascertained that she had sustained a slight injury. The Empress walked witk difficulty, and appeared to l»e suffering pain. People eat too much meat nowadays, and, neglecting vegetables, do not learn the many ways in which these can b« cooked so as to provide a diet cheaper than meat, and aa agreeable for a change. Therefore the vegetarians who have been banqueting to show what may hi done with vegetables have rendered a service, Bat' it is a pity that some of them 'should create 'prejudice against themselves and their dishes' by aonsensical talk ah»nt the killing of animals for food. Have they not heard that according to certain scientists the vegetable feeli and perhaps thinks ! It may be detnen strated to future generations that the blushing carrot is Stisoeptible of tender emotions and the retiring ways of tie trnffle arwdnc to a wel I reasoned aversion to the wickedness which is to I* seen above ground.

Meat we hava to some extent, because nature has made *s carnivorous; but imng graminivorous also, w« shall find ourselves the better for letting vegetables play a greater part in oar iuterior economy tbad they do a* present.
