THE AMOROUS DENTIST.

Mr Hugh Faberson, the Sydney dentist whoso wife wants judicial separation because (she says) she fouud him nursing his lady secretary on his knee while her h£ad reclined upon hio shoulder, denies the sole impeachment. Ha says the cause of incompatibility is that his wife ha's a worse temper than any other woman ha ever met. In cross-examination Mrs Peterson admits remembering smashing her husband's camera beciuse ha wished to photograph her in a nude 6tate — for which she could scarcely ba blamed. She also Admitted writing the following letter to Mrs Pechey, who need to come to her houae every Sunday : — Dear Mrs Pechey, — I consider it a gre \t piece of impertinence and slight on your part asking my hu/band out to spend an evening at your house and not asking me. I do not iutend staying in, this out-of-the-way cottage of an evening, by myself. I kuow he was going to a ball to-night, but it was not until after the receipt of your note. • this morning that I knew where he was going. Unfortunately, Mr Paterson is not a model hus« b md. He pretends that he is to the world, but I do not intend putting up with slights from other people as well. As to coming up on Sunday, I am, as you know, always a servant short on that day and have the baby to look after, and do'not intend working and washing up dishes all day for other people's comfort aa I have done. I have been nearly worked to,death sinca I was married, and I don't intend doing so auy longer. You ara quite at liberty to show Mr Paterson this letter. I never write anything I do nob wish him to see. I supiiosa your servant is going out for the day. With kind regards, youra truly,— Mary S. Peterson. There is possibly a wealth of meaning in the simple sentence about "your servant going out for tho day," and the " with kind regards " i» certainly an ingenuous touch. OPENING THE LAW. Mr Kingston, the South Australian Premier, has inherited the mantle of Sir George Grey. He is seeking to pass a bill to make admission to the law &asy. University matriculation, he holds, is useless, and also the time expended in , getting a bacbt'or of laws degree ; none of, the , judge 3on the bench or the leading men at the ; bar could pass either examination. His bill provides that no examination shall be necec- { sary before being articled, no examination in { deid or foreign languages, no more than two { years' articles, and examination only. in sub* [ jects necessary to be known by a practitioner in following bis profession. It admits women to { practice, and provides that counsel may be sued r for negligence. i THREE LADS DROWNED. r Last Sauday afternoon three lads' were l drowned outside Sydney Heads under aorrawful • circumstances. Willis H»ll (16), Arthur PeeksI (15), Wellington Vitelly (18), and Charles > Bulgin (18) failed down the hurboor in i a boat. Vi telly, who had charge of the boat, exoressed his intention of sailing round to Cabbagetree Bay, on the ocean side of Manly. His companions protested against • the risk of going outside the heads, but ha V laughed at their fears. They had no difficulty I in reaching ' Cabbagetree Bay, where they f lunched, but as the wind had- freshened-to ■ J stiff gale Vitelly was urged most earnestly nob to face the danger of a return trip in the teeth of the wind and a rising sea. He laughed at the proposal to anchor the boat and to return ' fco Sydney by a Manly harbour steamer, \ and ultimately persuaded his companions to venture out once more with him. The little craft b struggled along safely for half an hoar, when V Vitelly, in response to the repeated requests of t bis companions', decided to turn back into • Cabbagetree Bay. In attempting to jibe, 5 with a . view of getting aboufc, a gust of t wind got under tha sail and heeled the s little craft over. Pecke was a good swimmer • and struck out for the shore, which was some 500 yards distant. A wave then dashed over - the craft and washed Bulgin off ; he disappeared - almost instantly. As the seas freshened Vitelty 7 decided to let go his hold and follow Pecke, but he had not gone far when he. too, sank before , Hall's eyes. Pcoke had decided to turn back, 3 but when within 12 yards of the boat he threw . up his hands and sank. Hall remained with 1 the waves breaking continuously .over him for c fully threequaibors of an hour before two fisherr men rescued him. The four lads were the sons i of tradespeople, and were bosom friends. -,

a Floriline !— For the Teeth and Breath— A few drops of the liquid "Floriline" sprinkled ' on a wet toothbrush produces a pleasant lather which thoroughly cleanses the teeth from all s parasites or impurities, hardens the gums, pre, ir vents tartar, stops decay, gives to the teeth n I- peculiar pearly whiteness, and a delightful fra- > ' grance to the breath. It removes all unpleasant odour arising from decayed teeth or tobacco: - smoke. "The Fragrant Fldriline," being composed in part of honey and sweet herbs, is de« licious to the taste, and the greatest toilet dis« !r! r coyery of the age.
