Queer Etiquette.
Austin Statesman.


A correspondent in Mexico writes
as follows: The Mexicaps OF the
wealthy or well-to-do classes have a
custom in married life which seems to
me a pretty one. Husband and vile
have entirely separate apartments,
and neither is expected to enter the
apartments of the other except on ia
vitation. These apartments are in the
same house, or at least in the same
enclosure, yet they are usually sepa-
rated by considerable space, Zach
has separate set Of attendants or
servants, and nothing seems common
between them except the table, at
which they always eat to
gether, the nursery for the
children, and the yard or court,
with its flowers, figs and vines. When
the husband desires the company of
his lady in his apartments he writes a
note OF invitation in terms Of the
most formal aud lofty politeness,
encloses it in perhmed envelope,
seals it and sends it TO her on a silver
tray in the han s of a servant The
lady acknowledges the invitation in
the same way, and if she accepts,
which she is probably most likely to
do, she appears at the door Of his
apartments at tho appointed hour, in
bridal costume, escorted by one OF
more of her ladies in waiting, These
then retire. The husband receives
lher at the door, leads her to q little
table, where he treats her to ohocO
late or tea, cakes, fruits, etc. In the
midst of his apartments he has room
furnished IN the most exquisite way
| he is capable of, which he holds
sacred to his lady, and never occupies
it unless she is present. This
room is his pride, He spares nc
expense to make it as unique
and charming as possible. They re'
main with one another until the fol
lowing morning after breakfast, wher
they again separate, TO meet only al
the table, in the nursery, or in tbs
court. When the gentleman has re,
ceived his lady in his apartments it il
not proper to leave her one moment
until they have breakfasted, which

Mrs. ReddingtOn's Rachef.

Mrs. ReddingtOn's Racket,
Towards Row was sadly torn up
yesterday. Mrs. Reddington occupies
a room on the row, and she was very
thirsty. The door opening into an
adjoining room, she saw a man asleep
on bed in the corner. In another
corner she saw a bottle-a black bot
tie, of the kind whose contents extin-
guish thirst. Falling upon her knees,
so that her form fell below the sleep
ing mans horizon, she crawled toward
the bottle, snatched it, and started
back in the same way. When half
way across the room, she stopped to
shake the bottle and smell the stopper.
went few steps further and could not
resist the temptation of Withdrawing
the cork and tasting the liquid. Then
she took a swallow, and her throat
gurgled. That gurgle aroused the
soul of the sleeper, and Springing upon
the woman, he snatched his bottle. A
battle was inaugurated right then and
lasted for a quarter Of an hour. Mrs.
Reddington was victorious. The old
fellow, Tim McDonough, went out
after the fight ito see a man" saw
him too many times, and was arrested.
He was fined dollar to-day, and The
arrest Of the woman was ordered.

The Potato Crop.

Up to last evening 26,9OO barrels Of
potatoes had been sent north from
this city. They opened in price at
s. per barrel to growers and have
dropped down to 81 80, few going
yesterday at 50 Is. The average price
has been So %, making about $4,000
already received and distributed
among our potato farmers. The pres
emit week will wind up the shipping
business, and it is expected that the
total will foot up 10000 barrels, for
which fully 100000 will be realized.
Our potatoes have gone in all direc.
lions among Western cities, to Gin
cinnati, st. Louis, Detroit and Chi
cagO, but chiefly to the latter city,
which this season has proven to be
the best market. From that point
our potatoes were distributed to
all the cities along the shores Of the
lakes and to interior places also. A
traveller sojourning at a hotel in st.
Joseph, by the edge Of Lake Michi

Serving Two Masters.

The cook at the stationhouse is
writhing on the horns Of a dilemma.
He was struck in the stomach by a
mathematical problem about bed time
last night, which doubled him up so
he could not sleep. The problem is a
neat one, and worthy Of more than
moments consideration. 1t is this:
About three weeks ago Slime was
arrested for misdemeanOr, and SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $40 or work
forty days. When be had worked
out about ten days of his sentence the
lady who has the contract for feeding
city prisoners employed him as cook
With salary of ten dollars a. month
and board. I'll give you as much as
l would any other man" the lady
said.
So Slime went to work in the kitch :
en-, but his name was not erased from
the mitimus book, and so he is a pris-
oner, and as such entitled to bis
board and a credit Of Is cents a day
toward liquidatiug his fine. The feed
contractor is paid 30 cents per day fol
each prisoner, or SO month. 1t is
easy to see that the cook was entitled
to board on two accounts. He con
fesses his inability 10 double his stor'
age capacity, SO as to get his just dues
aud this is the problem that struck
him SO square in the stomach anC
doubled him up last night Shall hi

How BunstrOke Can be Cure0
For an effective cure for sunstroke
the following is especially commended;
Remove the patient to a shaded spot
at once. Place the body in a sitting
posture, the back against a wall, with
the feet and legs resting upon the side'
walk and extended in front of the
body. Get ice water and some
strong essence Of ginger. Pour
the ice water over the head,
copiOusly; never mind the clothes.
Then pour two or three ta5lespoontuls
of ginger in about half tumbler OF
water, and make the patient swal-
low it quickly. Keep the head cool
BY using a little Of the ice water; and
in case there is not much OF glow
upon the body, give more ginger, Il
these directions are followed, there
will be no occasion for the services Of
an undertaken. Ginger is far the best
10 use, but where it cannot be had
quickly, two or three good drinks Of
brandy will answer,
