The Rude Old Man She Met at the Lit- tle Watering Place of Badheim. Before proceeding to his new post, the Embassador, with his pretty wife, paid a flying visit. to the waters at Badheim. The sovereign to whom the Embassador was ac- credity was at Badheim, and had received the new pleni_p_oteptiary’§ crqdentials. It was 10 o’clock on the day after their arrival when the Marquise rose ; neverthe- less she insisted on takin her first bath before breakfasting. Peop e were leaving the building as she entered it, and when she left it everybody was at breakfast. The road leading from the town to the springs was absolutely deserted. A part of life, its mu-ic flows as the blood flows in the vein ; Laughter ripples through it, tears make its charm complete , For therheart of all the ages beats still through this old strain,â€" An old song, an old song, but the new are not so sweet? * A walk after one’s bath is the correct thing, and the Marquise liked walking, so after reaching the town she turned back, and even-wandered aside to a row of little booths beneath the trees, where were ex- posed for sale the special products of the neighbourhood, gewgaws ugly enough, and horrible caskets, things not be looked at at home, but to be bought at any place where one has spent a. week, though as a rule the stereotyped inscription “Souvenir de Badheim," only recalls things that would hlave been quite as pleasant anywhere e se. Mme. de N. was examining a necklace of rock crystal and turquoises and a cas- ket of lapiz lazuli, when a. gentleman stepped before the same booth. The shopkeeper went towards him obsequiously, but with a. per- emptory gesture the new customer waved him off. He might have been from forty-five to six- ty years of age, the new customer ; his eye was yet keen, though he had gray hair and here and there a. wrinkle; he was handsome- ly dressed and had an air of distinction. He watched the lady with undisguised in- terest ; but bless you, she is used to that and then when one appears in a. satin gilet embroidered with gay flowers, a. Charles II. hat, step-laddered-heeled boots and cornuco- ia. skirts, one cannot expect to escape be- ing (lhservedi (a Take the necklace to the hotel,” she fin- ally said; then turning where the casket lay on the show-case, she continued : “ That's rather prettyâ€"what’s ” when the new customer picked it up and present- ed it to her with a respectful bow and the “ You would have me arrested? Pray, juat'loo’k at me, madame. Is my face that of a man who would wish any one harm? Do you not recall it? Think now.” She had a. very vague idea. of having seen him somewhere, but where or when “ It is none of my business, sir,” she said, “ to read your countenance, but I can understand your manner! and it is one of brutal inso- vlence.” “ Not so fast, madam e, I beg of you, said he ; “my legs are not What they were twenty years ago. Will you not, then, suf- fer me to gratify the passionate desire I have to make your acquaintance ‘2” (This in a tone of the greatest courtesy, and as if his requesthad not been malignantly imparti- nonfi). Hiving followed her for a little distance, be quickened his pace andlwalked on at her side. She stopped short. "Is this stupid pleasantry to last much longer ?" she said ; “are there no policemen in this peculiar country?” I With a look more of surprise than of anger she swept to the door, looking him full in the face, however, to show him that the sec- ond attack had failed. “i’ermit me, madame, to offer you this souvenir of Badheim ; it will remind you of ougfirst‘i m_eet_ing.’A’ _ . " I see, madame, that you do nize me, and yet I have had the seeing you once before at Paris.” III. ‘If the compliment were not a trlflel stale, I should say that you are as severe as you are beautlful. ‘Brutal insolence,’, indeed. That’s complimentary,” and he laughed heartily, but with such a provok- ing and superior calm that she lost all pati- ence. She looked vat him chillingly without speaking, and he smiled benevolently as he still held the casket out to her, and add- He followed her out into the roadâ€"follow- ed 1193' closelx. ‘ self.” “ Go your road, sir,” said she ; “ this must end. ” “ My road, madame, is yours. Wherever you 0 I will.” “ at I do not grant you permission to ac- comganx m_e." “ This is too much,” said the lady, lifting hrr umbrella â€"a travelling umbrella with a. business-like handle. “ Strike, but hear me,” said the un- known, laughing pleasantly. “In apassion you are abselutely charming. Why do you fear me I" “ As you say, I dare. And if you were not what you are, believe me, madame, in spite of your beauty and grace, I would not be seen walking with you. I am hard to please, and unless a. woman is absolutely perfect she has nothing to hope for from me. As for you, you please me more than I can tell you, and it will not be my fault if we are not soon on pleasanter and more inti- mate terms. At a watering-place, you know, we are not quite so strict in these matters ” “You may not be, sir; but I give you warning that if you dare to present your- self at my door it will be closed in your faceli: “That makes no difference. If you don’t wish me to visit you, suppose you come and see me.” She stared at him with all her eyes. ” To-nightâ€"to supperâ€"what say you '3 I have a French cook” The insult was not to be brooked. Whack 1 went; the handle of Mme. (16 N .’s umbrella across his face. “ I fear, sir, to be seen in company with any one with whom I am acquainted.

IV. not recog- honour of ’Ihe blow was a hearty one, but with a gracious smile he picked up his hat, bowed as hareplacggl it, and IQSUIned : “You will sup with me to-night, (hen. In'leed, it is the least you could do by way of atonement for this little displ'ty of viv.1- city. You had no right-â€"” “ I had a right " “Pardon me ; no words justify a blow, though you may resent violence with equal violence. That is the law, as any one will tell you. No apologies! You may think me vain, but I assure you that no woman ever refused to sup with me, and when once you have accepted an invitation you will want to come again.” “Please don’t be angry ; I am simply sta- ting a. well-known fact.” “ My husband will”â€"-â€"â€" “ Your husband will not object. \Ve’ll have him to dinner with you sometimes, but in waxm weather like this supper is infinitely jollier than dinner. I shall expect you fo-night. Good-day,” and with a profound oboisance, the unkn’o'wh depart- ed. The Ambassador was finishing breakfast, when his wife entered and told him her odd adventure. “ My chih ," said the Marquis, “when you will insist on going out on stilts, and with your skirts glued to you, you needn’t be surprised if”â€"â€" ‘7 But there was no mistake about it ; he knew who I was.” “ Not a bad idea, ‘b‘y the way, as repre- senting abnurgeois simplicity, and inasmuch asrwe are R_epui)lic_zmsi’â€"~â€" H Between her bath, her Walk and her ex- citement the lady had acquired an appetite; she ate two cnt'ebs and half a trout, and was about to eat something else, when a. servant brought in a huge oflicial enve- 101 e. “ StillUI ca'n’t éo and sheath myself in a black moire scabbard, as the women used to nga’q Lquig Phillippe’g court.” * The King informed the Ambassador that he would receive the new member of the Diplomatic Corps and the Marquise that evening at a. private audience, and that a later date would be designated for his offici' a1 reception. “Then, probable, he thought you were rathemr g. giddy _represer_1ta:tive_ of Frat} gc._” Two conclusions might be drawn from this: Either the King intended to signify his extraordinary lriendship for M. and Mme., or he desiicd to break as gently as might be in a. social interview such unplea- sant news as could not very well be commun- icated on a formal occasion. Alas, the not entirely cordial relations between the two powers left it to be fearel that the latter proposition was the correct one. VII. At 11 p.m. the Marquiue was ready. Sim- ple toilet of embroidered white crepe, rnehts and faufrelnchew, but no jewelleryâ€"mot a. flower, this presentation being of the most friendly and least formal character. At the last minute she put on the rock- crystal necklace, indicating her desire for the prosperity of the industries of the coun- try. â€"The Chamberlain awaited them at the herdff t1}? Palace-gt‘airs. “ His Ma‘jesty,” he said to the Embassa- dor, “desirous of establishing friendly personal relations with you before your of- ficial reception at Court, has condescended to receive you to-night en famille.” “I am, sir, profoundly grateful to the King for his goodness,” said the Marquis boxing-H. The Chamberlain offered his arm to Mme. de N., and they traversed a long hall, filled with statues and paintings, and entered the room where stood the King, surround- ed by his family, his aides and principal of- ficials. Suddenly the Marquis saw his wife start, shudder, and fall half-fainting into the Chamberlain’s arms. Miss Sarah J ewett, of the Union Square, writes sentimental poety and is very ambi- tious. She is tnmarried. Miss Laura Don, the leading actress of the Brooklyn Park, has been only a few years on the stave. She is the divorced wife of George \V. Fox, 3. Troy photographer. Miss Minnie Palmer, of the Park, is a niece of Harry Palmer, the mana- ger. She is a brunette in the street, wears a particularly long feather in her bonnet and looks demure. Mrs. Albaugh, who is play- ing in support of her husband at the Broad- way, is a sister of Miss Mag ie Mitchell. They live on adjoining farms at iong Branch. A brother of these ladies died of yellow fever in Mem his last month. Miss Nina Varian of the nion Square is a daughter of Madam Varian~Hoffman, the singer. She is unmar- ried. Miss Rose Eytinge is imperious in bearing, dresses expensively and is said to have money. She rides in a coupe when shopping. She is the wife of George H. Butler, who is a nephew of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler. Miss Eily Coghlan, the “ Anne Boleyn ” at Booth’s, is a sister of Charles and Rose Coghlan. She came from London very recently, and has had little experience as an actress. She and her sister walk in Broad- way together often, elaborately dressed. She is unmarried. Smilingly, and as if this was an every-day incident at his audiences, the King advanc- ed to her, and. ofi‘ering his arm, said pleas- antly to her husband : “And, Marquise,” added the King, turning to her, “I was right. You have come to supper after all. And you will come again, and your husband will not ob- je‘fit” . v The King offered her his arm and es- corted her to the table where she found beside her plate the lapis-lazuli casket, and in it the King’s portrait set in dia- monds. ” Do you know, Marquis, that your wife defends valiantly, swordâ€"or at leist, um- l"rellaâ€"in hand, your honour and that of France. This morning she thought I ofl'end- ed her, andâ€"soc ! I still bear the marks of her vengcmce.” And {he King pointed to a red and swol- len welt across his face. “Permit me, madame,” he said, as he had said in the morning, “ to offer you this sou- venir of Badheim : it will remind you of our first meeting.”_ _ Who They Are and What They Do ofl‘ the Stage. Mrs. A nes Booth, of the Park, is credited with the est voice and method for readin blank verse of any actress in America ; an she can manage a trail gracefully on the stage or elsewhere, which is a rare accom- plishment. She is the wife of J. W. Booth, who used to act, but now keeps a hotel. Miss Katy Mayhow, who has been playing “ M’liss,” is from California, whence she came with money and grit tor the legal fight that incidentally advertised her play. She is the wife of Henry Widmar, a San Francisco Stockholder, who has just had a street fight with aman who spoke slightingly of her. Miss Rose Coghlan, VVallack’s lead- ing actress, is a sister of Charles Cnghlan, of the same theatre, and their l'nes of acting bring them frequently together as stage lovers. She is English, as indicated by the accent she tries to rid herself of, and her first visit to this country was with one of Miss Lydia Thompson’s burlesque companies. She is unmarried. Mrs. Florence is a sister of Mrs. Barney Williams. She has been personating “ Mrs. General Gilflory ” almost continuously for four years, but never so well as now, owing, it is said, to a study during the past summer of vulgar American women in Paris. She is wealthy, if she gets her share of “ The Mighty Dollar” dollars. Miss Maggie Mitchell is the wife of Mr. Paddock, formerly a Toledo merchant. She has plenty of money, and only acts be- cause she likes to. Modjeska never walks in the street, but rides every day. It is said that she comes squarely by the title of Coun- tess through her husband, who accompanies her in her travels. A few years ago the couple went into stock farming in California, She accepvted it, this time Some Theatrical Stars. .â€"<.>â€"o. and lost their money in the venture; but their income now averages fair'y. She speaks ordina'ily with more of a. foreign ac- cent than when acting. Miss Stella Boni- face, VVallack's first juvenile actress, is a. daughter of George C. Boniface, an actor of the old school. Mark Twain Sold by Artemus Ward. I had never seen him before, explains Mark Twain in a recent article. He brought letters; of introduction from mutual friends in San Francisco, and by invitation I break- fastetl with him. It was almost religion, there in the silver mines, to precede such a meal with whisky cocktails. Artemus, with the true cosmopolitan instinct, always defer- red to the customs of the country he was in, and so he ordered three of those abomina- tions. Hingston was present. I am a match for nearly every beverage you can mention except a whisky cocktail, and therefore I said I would rather not drink one. I said it would go right to my head and confuse me, so that I would be in a helpless tangle in ten minutes. I did not want to act a lunatic before strangers; but Artemus gently in- sisted, and I drank the treasonable mixture under protest, and felt all the time that I I was doing a thing that I might be sorry for. In a minute or two I began to imagine that my ideas were clouded. I waited in great anxiety for the conversation to open, with a sort of vague hope that my under- standing Would prove clear, after all, and my misgivings groundless. Artemus drop- ped an unimportant remark or two, and then assumeda look of superhuman earnest- ness, and made the following astounding speech. He said, “ Now there is one thing I ought to ask you about before I forget it. You have been here in Silverlandâ€"here in Nevadaâ€"two or three years, and, of course, your position on the daily press has made it necessary for you to go down in the mines and examine them carefully in detail, and, therefore, you know all about the silver mining business. Now, what I want to get at isâ€"is, well, the way deposits of ore are made, you know. For instanceâ€"Now, as I understand it, the vein which contains the silver is sandwiched in between castings of granite, and runs along the ground, and sticks up like a curbstone. Well, take a vein 40 feet thick, for example, or 80, for that matter, or even 100; say you go down on it with a shaft, straight down, you know, i or with what you call the ‘inclines;l maybe you go down 500 feet, or maybe you don’t go down but 200 ; anyway, you go down, and all the time this vein grows narrower when the castings come nearer or approach each other, you may sayâ€"that is, when they do approach, which, of course, they do not always do, particularly in cases where the nature of the formation is such that they stand apart wider than they otherwise would, and which geology has failed to ac- count for, although everything in that sci- ence goes to prove that, all things being equ 1‘, it would if it did not or would not certainly if it did, and then, of course, they are. Di not you think it is ‘2" I said to myself, “Now, I just knew how it would be. That cussed whiskey cocktail has done the business for me. I don't understand any more than a clam.” And then 1 said aloud, “Iâ€"Iâ€"that isâ€"if you don’t mind, would you say that over again? I ought ” “ Oh, certainly, certainly. You see I am very unfamiliar with the subject, and perhaps I don’t present my case clearly, but Iâ€"â€"â€"” “No, no-no, no, you state it plain enough, but that vile cocktail has muddled mea little. ButI willâ€"no, I do understand, for that matter, but I would get the hang of it all the better if you went over it again, and I’ll pay better attention this time.” He said, “\Vhy, what I was after was this.” (Here he became even more fearfully impressive than ever, and emphasized each particular point by check- ing it off on his finger ends.) “ This vein, or lode, or ledge, or whatever you may call it, runs along between two layers of granite just the same as if it were a sandwich. Very well. Now, suppose you go down on that, say 1000 feet, or maybe 1100 feet (it don’t really matter), before you drift ; and then you start your drifts, some of them across the ledge and others along the length of it where the sulphurets~1 believe they call them sulphurets, though why they should, considering that, so far as I can see, the main dependence of a miner does not lie, as some suppose, but which it cannot Le suc- cessful'y maintained wherein the same should not continue, while part and parcel of the same ore not committh to either in the sense referred to, whereas, under differ- ent circumstances, the most inexperienced among us could not detect, if it were, or mightoverlcok it if it did, or scorn the very idea. of such a thing, even though it were palpably demonstrated as such. Am I not right ?” I said sorrowfully, “ I feel asham- ed of myself, Mr. Ward. I know I ought to understand you perfectly, but you see that infernal whiskey cocktail has got into my head, and now I cannot understand even the simplest proposition. I told you how it would be.” “ Oh, don’t mind it, don’tmind it; the fault was my own, no doubt, though I did think it clear enough for ” “Don't say a word. Clear; Why, you stated it as clear as the sun to anybody but an abject idiot; but it’s that confounded cocktail that has played the mischief.” “ No, now don’t say that. I’ll_begin it all over again, and v â€"-” “Don’t now; for goodness sake, do not do anything of the kind, because I tell you my head is in such a. condition that I don’t believe I could understand the most trifling question a man could ask me.” “Now, don’t you be afraid; I’ll put it so plain this time that you can’t help but get the hang of it. We will begin at the very beginning.” (Leaning far across the table, with determined impressiveness wrought upon his every feature, and fingers prepared to keep tally of each [oint as enumerated ; and I, leaning forward with painful interest resolved to comprehend or perish.) “You know the veinâ€"the ledgeâ€"the thing that contains the metal, whereby it constitutes the medium between all other forces, Whe- ther of present or remote agencies, so brought to bear in favour of the former against the latter, or the latter against the former, or all, or both, or compromising as possible the relative differences existing within the radius whence culminate the several degrees 0t similarity to whichâ€"” I said, “Oh blame my wooden head, it ain’t any use I It ain’tany use to try ! I can’t understand anything! The plainer you put it, the more I can’t get the hang of it.” I heard a suspicious noise behind me, and turned to see Hingston dodging behind a newspaper, and quaking with a general ecstasy of laughter. I looked at Ward again, and he had thrown off his dread solemnity and was laughing also. Then I saw that I was soldâ€"that I'had been made the victim of a swindle in the way of a string of plausibly worded sentences that didn’t mean anything under the sun. Arte- mus Ward was one of the best fellows in the world, and one of the most companion- able. It has been said that he was not fluent in conversation, but, with the avae experience in my mind, I difl'er. A managingr woman is a pearl among wo- men ; she is one of the prizes in the great lottery of life, and the man who owns her may rejoice for the rest of his days. Better than riches, she is a fortune in herselfâ€"a gold mine, never failing in its yieldâ€"a spring of pleasant water, whose banks are fringed with moss and flowers, when all around is bleached with sterile sand. The managing woman can do anything, and. she does everything well. Perceptive and ex- ecutive, of quick sight and steady hand, she always knows exactly what is “anting and supplies the deficiency with a tact and cle- verness peculiar to herself. “ WONDER what the price of tea is now I” said the Chinese ambassador to himself while the president was talking Melican- English to him. “ \Vonder what Ohio man I can appoint next 5” said the president to himself while the ambassade was talking Confucius-Chinese to him. And 89 the world is governed. A Good Managing Woman To Pown EGGS. Lay small muffin-rings in the Water, and drop an egg in web ring, and the egg will be smooth and the shape of the ring. APPLE LEMON 1’1E.â€" R‘nd and juice of one lemon, piece of butter size of a walnut, two apples chopped fine, one egg, one cup of sugar. Bake with upper crust. MUFFINs.â€"Onc plut milk; four eggs beaten thoroughly; flour to make a thin cake batter; tablespoonful of hot butter stirred into the batter. Bake in muffin tins about thi-(e inches in di-uneter, in a hotâ€" quite hotâ€"oven. -v . .‘ .1 To BROIL OverRs.â€"-Usea double grid- iron that folds together; grease the bars, which prevonts sticking, then dip each oys- ter into melted butter, place them on the iron enough to cover it, have a brisk fire and broil; constantly haste with butter; when done, serve on very hot toast, 011 hot dishés. kind. RAW OYSTERs.â€"Select fine oysters, drain in a colander, pick out all bits of shell, sprinkle well with pepper and salt, and place on ice for half an hour before serving. They may be taken to the table on a large block of ice hollowed out with a. hot flat-iron or in a dish with pieces of ice scattered over them. Serve with slice of lemon, or vineg 1r and horse-radish; or freeze oysters in the shell, open, and serve, seasoning to teste. BUBBLE-AND-SQUEAK.â€"Cut slices from a. cold boiled round or rump of beef ; let them be fried quickly untll brown, and put them into a dish to be kept hot. Clean the pan from the fat ; put into it greens and carrots previously boiled and chopped small, or, in- stead of these, large onions slicel thin and fried, though sometimes only greens are used. Add a little butter, pepper, and salt ; make the vegetables very hot, and put them around the beef with a. little gravy. T0 PRESERVE BUTTERâ€"Take two parts of the best common salt, one part of good loaf sugar, and one part of saltpetre ; beat them well together. To one 1 1b butter tho- roughly cleansed from the mill: put 1 oz. this composition; work it Well, and put down when it becomes firm and 0014. The but- ter thus preierved is the better for keep- ing and should not be used under a. month. The butter should be kept frO'n the air, and is best in pots of the best glazed earth- enware that will hold from 1011) to 141b each. FRIED BREAD-cRUMBs.â€"Cut the bread in- to thin slices, place them in a. cool oven ov_r night, and, when thoroughly dry and crisp, roll down into fine crumbs. Put some lard or clarified dripping into a frying- pan ; bring to a. boiling point, throw in the crumbs and fry them quickly. Directly they are done lift them out with a slice, and drain them before the fire from all greasy moisture. When quite crisp they are ready for use. The fat they are fried in should be clear, and the crumbs should not have the slightest appearance or taste of being in the slightest degree burnt. APPLE PRESERVEs.-â€" Peel, halve, and core six large apples, selecting those of the same size ; make a. syrup of one pound of gum“- lated sugar and one pint of water; when it boils drop. in the apples, with the rind and juice of a lemon. As soon as they rre ten- der, care must be taken that they do not fall in pieces, take the halves out one by one, and arrange, concave side uppermost, in aglass dish. Drop a bit of current jelly into each piece; boil down the syrup, and when cool pour around the apples. This makes a very nice preserve for tea. Peaches can be substituted for apples in either of the above recipes. QUINUE 0R APPLE PRESERVES.â€"Take equal weights of quinces and sugar, pare, core, leave whole, or cut up, as preferred, boil till tender in water enough to cover, carefully take out and put on a platter, add sugar to the water, replace fruit and boil slowly till clear, place in jars and. pour syrup over them. To increase the quantity without adding sugar, take half or two- thirds in weight as many fair sweet apples as there are quinces, pare, quarter, and core; after removing quinces, put apples into the syrup, and boil until they begin to look red end clear, and are tender; place quinces and appees in a jar in alternate layers, and cover with syrup, To Swim CHICKENS WHoLE.â€"Take a large, tender chicken and clean as for roast- ing; wash it thoroughly in several wateis, and wipe it dry with a. clean towel ; then season, inside and outside, with salt and pepper; have ready as many oysters as the chicken will hold, which take out of {their liquor, and after removing all the particles of shell that may adhere, put them into a colander and let drain; then season the oysters with SA“? and pepper, and fill the chicken with as many as it will hold. Af- ter skewering it tight, put it into a tin pail with a closely-fitting top, put the pail into a pot of boiling water and let it boii until the chicken is tender. When the chicken is done, remove it to a hot dish, covering immediately and set it where it will keep hot. Turn the gravy from the pail into a sauceâ€"pan; add one tablospoonful of but- ter, three tablespoonfuls of cream, the yolks of three hard-boiled eggs chopped fine, a. little minced parsley, and a tablespoonful of corn starch made smooth in a little cold milk. Boil up once, pour over the chicken and serve very hot. ROABT GoosE.~â€"The goose should not be more than eight months old, and the fatter the more tender and’juicy the meat. A “green” goose (four months old) is the choicest. Kill at least twenty-four hours before cooking; cut the neck close to the back, beat the breist-bone flat with a roll- ing-pin, tie the wings securely, and stuff with the following mixture; three pints bread-crumbs, six ounces butter or part butter and part salt pork, two chopped onions, one teaspoon each of sage, black pepper, and salt. Do not stuff very full, and stitch openings firmly together to keep flavour in and fat out. If the goose is not fat, lard it with salt rk or tie a slice on the breast. Place in aking-pan wi th a lit- tle water, and baste it frequently with salt and water (some add onion and some vine- gar), turning often, so that the sides and back may all be nioer browned, When nearly done haste with butter and a little flour. Bake two hours, or more old; when done take from the pan, pour all the fat, and to the brown gravy left add the chopped giblets which have previously been stewed till tender, together with the water they were boiled in ; thicken with a little flour and butter rubbed together, bring to a boil, and serve with currant jelly. Apple sauce and onion sauce are the proper accom- paniments to roast goose. THE Usn or AMMONIérâ€"A writer in acou- temporary, who 'evidently'speaks from ex- perience, en‘li'asiqs‘iwa‘ly yflmar‘ses the beneficial uscs‘oi aumh‘n'a, um.) Li which are new to us and possibly also to our read- ers. In the season of influenzas, and the prostrating headaches which result there- from, ihe inhaling of ammonia is a. specific remedy, and fur heartburn and dyspepsia it is espceially recommended. Aromatic spi- rits of ammonia are prepared for the latter complaints, and ten drops in a wine-glass of water is a dose for an adult. For household and cleaning purposes its beneficial uses are innumerable, and its cheapness brings it Within common reach. To wash dishes easily, put ammonia into the dish-water. A teaspoonful in a. quart of warm soapsuds will instantly remove fly specks, smoke and dirt from windows and paint, and greatly lessens the housekeeper’s labours as it 0b- viates scrubbing. For washing silver and mirrors the above is also an excellent pre- paration, dressing and brightening both in a, manner most gratifying to lovers of neat- ness. For removmg grease spots from any fabric a few drops of ammonia should be poured upon the stain which require to be quickly covered with lolottiug paper and, to be pressed with a warm flat-iron. To rare laces and old muslins it imparts a newness and freshness if a few teaspoonfuls be added to the suds in which they are washed. To clean hair-brush and comb, put ammonia in a bowl of water ; wash, rinse, and lay in th sun to dry. A WOMAN in Nebraska suffocated her baby by rolling over upon it in bed.

There is no person living but what suflers more or less with Lung Disease, Coughs, Colds or Consumption, yet some would die rather than pay 75 cents for a bottle of me- dicine that would cure them. Dr. A. Rose- hee’s German Syrup has lately been intro- duced in this country from Germany, and its wondrous cures astonish every one that try it. If you doubt what we say in print, cut this out and take it to your Druggist, and get a sample bottle for 10 cents and try it, or a regular size for 75 cents.

As a. COllSqullllcf‘, no depart- ment of trade oflers more inducemenls, or is more taken advantage of by dishonest dealers, who pro- fer large present gains to future and ptrmauent trade. It has become almost an axiom in the ‘ Electro-plate trade that “ The only guarantee for a HmWWWHH good and aufiicient plate is the integrity of fig manu- facturer.” A manufacturer’s trade mark is his bond to the Vcndor and Consumer that the goods thus stamped are honest and reliable, and no one who has made any reputation ever risks it by :tl'owing his impress to be put upon articles of inferior quality. Amongst [irst~ class manufacturers, go ids that are slightly damaged, or which do not ful'y come up to the neccss try standard of excellence, are finishedup a3 highlv as possible, and branded “ith the name of some fictitious Company or Manufacturer. These Culls, although almost worthless for wear, are often palmel allc upon the Dealer for reliable goo ls, and the result is that the Consumer is m tde to pay a first-class price for an article that cannot possibly give satisfaction. It will thus be seen that the on'y safegu ml that either the Dealer or Consumer can have is to refuse to buy any goods which do not bear the trade mark of some wel‘â€"known and reliable manufacturer. By adheiing to this rule they will save money. ‘ - , LA.” __!..: u._ _ 1L--...J A.» u HmmmmwINIIuIInI lm nu;ou .
