The following illustration is given
of etiquette In the time Of Louis Nv:
In the queens apartment there we're
two chambers. One day the queen saw
n speck of dust on her bed and showed
il to Madame de Luynes, her maid OF
honor. The latter sent for the valet de
chambre, bed-maker to the queen, that
he might show 1t to the valet de cham
bre, bed-maker to the king. The latter
arrived at the end OF an hour. but said
that the dust was none Of his business,
because the bed-makers Of the king
made up the common bed Of the queen'
but were forbidden to touch the state
bed. Consequently the dust must be
removed by the officers Of the house.
hold. The queen gave orders that they
should be sent for, and every day for
two months she asked II the dust had
been brushed of, but they had not yet
found out whose duty 1t was to remove
the speck. Finally the queen took up
n feather duster and brushed it oil.
Great was the scandal thereof, but no
n dreamed of blaming the absence OF
the officers ; they only found that the
queen had been wanting in etiquette.

unable to %articulate a single word ex-

WHOM DO THEY wANTp

Thus far it Is difficult to perceive
whom the opponents Of Gen. Grant
prefer for the next President. Ihey
seem to have plenty Of candidates 70
talk about, yet no one upon whom
they have concentrated their prefer
ence. Unless they do combine and
agree upon some one candidate pretty
soon, their indefinite, unorganized ell
forts will not amount to much, as no
considerable portion Of the Republican
party will be at all likely to follow
any anti-Gran faction which has no
designated candidate to support OF
any specified object in view beyond
bull-headed opposition to Grant. Be
fore people conclude to follow any
new political path, they prefer to sec
where it Is likely to lead to.

There is now and then o good dog,
and good dogs are worth keeping in
health, and this must be our excuse for
quoting from the Nesp England Home
stead the following remedy for one of
the most obnoxious diseases to which
dogs are subject. It says: Mango
is of three kinds-common, red, and
scabby. Common yields readily to
cleanliness, with small alternative doses
of sulphur and nitre given daily; if neg
lected it runs into scabby mango, the
skin breaking out into blotches, thedog
growing poor, death ensuing sooner or
later. Use aperient medicine day or
two. then for week give the medicine
first named, then wash him thoroughly
with soap and soft water, then rub his
entire body with the following prepara-
ton: OF train oil, one pint; turpen-
tine, one ounce; naptha, one ounce; oil
of tar, one ounce; SCOT, one ounce; and
sulphur in powder sufficient to make
the mixture of q proper consistence.
This is to remain on the dog three days,
during which time he must be kept dry
and warm and fed sparingly; on the
fourth day wash it off with soap and
warm water in which washing soda has
been dissolved; give clean straw, mat,
or blanket to lie on, with plenty OF ex-
ercise, cooling diet, and the dog will
soon be we'll. This treatment will ap-
ply to the red mango, out in this case to
the preparation add little mercurial
ointment. Change of feed is beneficial
in the treatment of dog for mango"

To Preserve Green Corn.

The Mobile Register tells how to
keep corn as fresh and good as when
first taken from the stalk. Shave the
corn from the cob and pack it away in
= common stone jar, with salt in al
ternate layers. A layer of corn, say
one inch thick, then layer of salt
sufficient to cover it; then another
layer of corn, and so on till the jar is
filed. Then cut pieces of boards to
lay into the jar, lay them upon the
corn, and put on a weight to hold it
down; for pickle will soon rise, and
all the corn must be held beneath the
surface of the pickle A cloth or pa
per must be next tied over the mouth
of the jar to keep out the dust and
flies, and that is all there is of it. But
there will be something more to do
when you desire to Use your corn, and
therein lieth the secret of the process.
1t will be to sat for the table as packed
away, of course, and if you soak the
salt out on the ordinary plan yoa spoil
the whole thing, for the milk and life
of the grain comes out with the salt.
But you must soak it, nevertheless,
and now let us tell you how to do il.
Commence operations by taking it
from your jar and dropping it directly
into a kettle of boiling water-don't
fail to have the water boiling when
the corn strikes it. This cooks the
milk in the grain at once, rendering it
insoluble, after which you may soak
through as many waters as you desire
without impairing the flavor or virtues
of the corn in the least.
