The King of Zulu-land is said to have
recently addressed note to a British
officer in South Africa as follows: Ex-
cellency-First came the missionary;
next the Consul now the army. Getty
wayo." This brief letter recalls some
short speaches and curt correspondence
which will doubtless be delightful read
ing in these times of long harangues at
Albany and Washington. A Western
Judge, once upon time, addressed the
Grand Jury in these words: " Gentle
men; The weather is extremely hot; l
am very old; you know your duty
perform it." Another American Judge
once interviewed in an odd way to pre-
vent a waste of words. He was sitting
in chambers, and seeing, from the pile
of papers in the lawyers hands, that
certain case was likely to be long one,
he asked: "What is the amount in
question P''" Two dollars, your Honor"
said the plaintiffs counsel. "I1l pay
it," said the Judge, handing over the
money; "call the next case" An En-
glish Judge was more patient. Helisten-
ed for couple of days to the argu-
ments of counsel as to the construction
of an act, and finally observed, when
was repealed year ago" One morn
ing woman was shown into DIR. Aber-
nethy's room. Before he could speak
she barred her arm, saying, Burn"
ga poultice," said the Doctor. Next
day she called again, showed her arm,
and said: "Better." "COntinue the
poultice," the response. A few days
afterward she came again; then she
said: swell. Your feep" Nothing"
said the great physician; "you are the
most sensible woman l ever saw"
Lord Berkeley, wishing to apprise the
Duke of Dorset of his changed con
dition, wrote: "Dear Dorset: l have
just been married, and am the happies
dog alive. Berkeley" The answer
came: "Dear Berkeley: Every dog
has his day. Dorset" The editor O
Chicago newspaper, wanting the de
tails of terrible inundation in Connec

whose magnificent vocal powers have
given so much pleasure to both foreign
and native church-goers in Rome during
the last two or three years, has, after
serious illness, resumed his singing in
the churches and draws larger crowds

England on the 21st ult, Sncognito, as

The empress Of France is said to be
one of the richest widows in England. In
addition to her Hungarian estate she has a
castle in Spain and Il nice place in Switzcr-
land But hard cash is what comes most
uscful to dcthroncd sovcrcigns who hope to
return, and Of this the empress has long
had abundance. 1t is estimated in Paris
that she is worth at least II million sterling.
Only recently she sold q large block of
house property in the Rue d'Alba, in Paris,
and M. Rouhcr's house, a well known DO
Slitical centre at the corner s.of tho Rue
dIlyscc, was hers, in her own right, and
was sold last year for .fl5,000. The death
Of the prince adds to her property, since he
left to her a considerable amount of landed
property in Italy, as we'll as the Toulouse
property, *bcqucathcd TO him by the grisly
general who'had been cducrry to the prince
when lie toddlcd about the corridors of the
Tuilcrics nearly three feet high and weight
cd with the miniature uniform of q colonel
IN the cent gardc. This vast property was
no incumbrance to the empress whilst yet
shc had son to live and scheme for. 1t
was drained pretty freely by tho Bonapar-
tist organs of tho press in France Tic
OrdrG and the, Pays were lavishly. sup
ported by the empress, and she also drew
handsome checks in favor Of tho reduction
of the Gaulois The need for keeping
these fires warm is now dead. Tho empress
Is not likely to keep newspapers alive to
work for her good cousin Jerome. 2~)

SAND FOR STABLEs.-For the past two
years have used considerable snnd to
good advantage, both to my crops and
land, as an absorbent. For this pur-
pose constructed OH the back side of
the stable two boxes, ono at each end of
the stable, about five feet in width, ten
feet in length and six in height, filling
them through the summer and fall with
dry sand using it with little trouble or
labor for the COWS through the winter.
The use of sand keeps the stable dry
and sweet, and also absorbs most of the
liquid manure, Sand also cuts the man
uro, sothat 1t Is more easily worked and
spread. 1 had before used sand to some
extent; but, having no convenient
place to store it when dry, could not
use it in winter. l havo also found
sand excellent for mixing in the hog
pen, making the manure fine. l havo
used such manure to advantage for pota-
toes in the hill, as we'll as for corn.'

DOMESTIC NURsINa.--Nothing Is
more easy to an experienced nurse or
more difficult to an inexperienced
one than to change tho bed linen with
person in bed. Everything that will
be required must be at hand, properly
aired, before beginning. Move the pa
ticnt us far as possible to one sido Of
the bed, and remove all but ono pillow.
Untltck the lower sheet and cross sheet
and push them toward tho middle of
the bed. Have sheet ready folded or
rolled the long way, and lay it on the
mattress, unfolding 1t enough to tuck
it in ut the side. lave the cross sheet
prepared rs described before and roll
1T also, laying it over the under one
and tucking it III, keeping tho unusual
portion of both still rolled. Move the
patient over to the side thus prepared
for him; tho suilcu sheets can then be
drawn away, the clean ones completely
unrolled and tucked III on the other
sido. Tho coverings need not be re-
moved while this Is being done; they
can be pulled out from the foot of the
bedstead and kept wrapped around the
patient. TO change the upper sheet
tako off the spread and lay the clean
sheet over the blankets, securing tl,o
upper edge of the bed with Il couple of
pins; standing Mt the foot draw out the
blankets and solled sheets, replace the
former put on tho spread. LASTLY,
change the pillow-cas6s.
