A ROYAL FLOWER GIRL.

In Portugal as in England charity
resorts TO many devices to fill its
Golfers, and the other day Queen
Maria Pia of Portugal did a great
stroke of business as vendor of
flowers at stall of bazaar held at
Lisbon for the benefit of poor child
rem. The Queens stall, Il small
wooden booth, was crowded, while
all the other stalls around it were
deserted, which was hard on the
other stall-keepers. When monarchs
take to shopkeeping, their subjects
have little chance-a fact which in
these revolutionary times should
bring consolation to occupants of
rickety thrones. When their crowns
fall, q royal road to fortune will still
be open before them. If to be
''patronized by royalty attracts
many customers, what must be the
drawing power of n shop in which all
customers are served ny royalty?"

WHAT SHOULD SHE CALL HIM.

What ought a wife TO call her hus-
band in speaking to a third person ?
Should she say, "My husband" or
should she use the surname without
any prefix, as Mrs. Carlyle used to
talk of Carlyle" or should she
adopt another plan of that lady's and
speak, rs it were, of Mr.. CT
Perhaps it is 4 matter of Indifference
in England. but in France q woman $
usage in the matter is taken as 4 test
of breeding. In the provinces, it
seems, wives speak of their husbands
rs "monsicur," as if their particular
monsieur" were superior to all
others. Or perhaps they think this
style expresses an Indifference in
dicative of 'bon tons" "my hus-
band they imagine would be vulgar.
With the polite world of Paris, on
the contrary, my husband" is ac-
cepted as the proper phrase, subject
to two exceptions. y very affec-
tionate wife may speak of her hus-
band by his Christian name, while
after certain age any other style
except the surname, with the prefix
''monsieur," is held to be ridiculous
and sign of ''provincialism. -

A sKlLFul SURGICAL OPERATION

The American Ambassador at Vienna,
Mr.. Kasson, has lately forwarded to his
Government an interesting account of
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed Ivy Professor Bllroth, of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con
sisted in the removal of portion
Of the human stomach, involving
nearly oneLhird of the organ--and,
strange to say, the patient recovered
the only successful operation of the
kind ever performed. The disease for
which this operation was performed
was cancer of the stomach, attended with
the following symptoms The appetite
is quite poor There isa peculiar indies.
cribablc distress in the stomach, II feel
ing that has been described rs II faint
"dU g0Rc" sensation; Il sticky slime col
lccts about the teeth, especially III the
morning, accompanied by an unpleasant
taste Food fails TO satisfy this peculiar
faint sensation; but, on the contrary, it
appears to aggravate the feeling. Inc
eyes are slnken, tngcd with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky

tired ali the time, and sleep does not
seem TO give rest. Alters time the pa.
tient becomes nervous and irritable,
| gloomy, his mind filed with evil fore
bodmgs. When rising suddenly from
a rccumbcni position there is dizziness,
Il whistling sensation, and he is obliged
to grasp something firm TO keep from

ing thick and stagnant, and does not
circulate properly. After time the
patient splits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in sour and fcrmcnted con.
dition, sometimes swedish to the taste.
Oftentimcs there is palpitation of the
heart, and the patient fears he may have
heart disease Towards the last the
patient is unable TO retain any food
whatever, rs the opening in the intcs-
tines becomes closed, or nearly so. AL.
though this disease is indeed alarming,
sufferers with Tie above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous, for nine

thousand have no cancer, but simply

LAST IN BED BLOWS OUT THE LIGHT.

Old Uncle Ploughgit and his wife
were holding sort of love feast the
other night, recountlng old times.
AS the worthy couple slowly prepared
to retire, they went over the days
gone by in n highly entertaining
manner.
"Do you know, 'Riah, | feel just
as young as | ever did," said Uncle
Ploughgit cxuberantly.
$50 do |, Enoch," spryly res
pended Aunt Riah.
Then thought suddenly occurred
to Uncle Ploughgit, and wheeling on
his heel he cried out;
Last in bed blows out the light
and made plunge for his side of the
couch. His wife, though taken by
surprise, was nothing behind him in
sprightliness and their aged heads
met about the middle of the bed with
q startling thnmp. Aunt 'Riah
doubled up on the floor, and old
Uncle Ploughgit, rubbing the top of
his head, muttered; "What two
burned old fools we be, anyhow"
