Flirting with tho EmDresa.

The Empress Elizabeth, says Baden
Baden letter, has been in the habit of
taking long walks every dav, some
fifteen or twenty miles, generally &C.
companied only by her maid of honor.
A short time ago they were going to
Rastadt, a little town about twelve
miles from here, containing roya
school and barracks, when they lost
their way. They were in despair, but
wore relieved by meeting two private
soldiers, whom they took as guides,
not telling whom they were. The
Empress walked with one of the SOL
diers, the maid of honor with the
other for the whole afternoon. convers.
ing very pleasantly. The Empress told
her companion that she was an
Austrian, and would like to see him
again, inviting him to call upon her
the next day and giving him her ad-
dress. The day arrived-so did the
soldier-Ee was ushered into q room,
where he met the Colonel of his reg
iment, who questioned him about his
behavior the day before. The poor
soldier was struck dumb with horror
when he found with whom he had
chatted in such friendly manner, rs
her Majesty dresses very simply when
she goes on these tramps. and had
simply told him that her name was
Elizabeth, he, of course, had no idea
of her exalted rank. She presented
him with twenty marks, and probably
he admired that far more than the
average German ever does a sweet
heart.

Justice CliH0rd's IdlOsyncrasies.

Congressman Reed of Maine in a
recent chat told some of the peculiar
tiles of the late Justice Nathan Cliff
ord. He was one of the vainest men
who ever sat on the bench. In his
younger days he was somewhat of a
participant in politics and had received
a nomination for a local Office when
several young men of the town called
on him to tender their congratulations.
He said to them with evident vainness:
ut is the proudest part OF my expert
ence of today that you young men, my
friends and associates, know me and
appreciate me as all world will some
day know and appreciate Nathan Cliff
ord 1t was Justice Clifford who, in
the Electoral Commission, after stating
his opinion to his fellow-members,
said, as he folded his hands complacent-
ly over his round and well-tilled stom-
ach: Gentlemen, [ do not know if
the sentiments l have expressed will
meet with your approval Or if they
will ultimately be adopted as the views
Of this tribunal. But I am fully con-
WINGED that they will be the views
Endorsed by the great, and the good,
and the wise of all future ages
In telling mo of that story Congress-
man Reed remarked that vanity and
cheek were great accomplishment if
they were held by men Of great ability,
and that in Judge CliffOrd's case they
had served him we'll.

power, which he welded for the right.
Mrs. Frank Folsom and Miss Emma
wept piteously, although the latter
bore her grief more bravely than her
mother. The casket was of cedar.
trimmed with broadcloth, and lined
with satin. The silver plate read:
Col. j. B. Folsom.
Died May 19, 1885, aged Is years.
Those present then took a last look
at the Colonel, who seemed to be
calmly sleeping. There was a pro-
fuslon OF flowers, and a large pictnre
OF the Colonel was draped. When all
had looked on the peaceful face the
pail bearers bore the cas1et to the
hearse, and some fifty carriages and
other vehicles made up a cortege to
Colesvil'e Cemetery, where the
Colonel body was placed beside that
of his wife.
''Col. Folsom died of a broken heart -
salu Dr. MarJln VINO was the husband
OF the Colonel's adopted daughter.
'He had not been in health for some
time. but old age may be set down a.
the direct cause. He was trif1e rheu-
matte, and had had govt, but they
were only contributing causes.''
Col. Folsom made vii four or five
years ago, in which he divided his
estate into eight equal shares, to be
given to the two widows and six
grandchildren. They are Mrs. Oscar
Folsom and her daughter frankie,
Miss Mamie Auguste Martin. Mrs.
Frank Folsom, and the latter's four
children. This will is believed to be
now in existence. The value of the
estate is from $780, 900 to $3.50, 900, of
which half is in Omaha property.

Hints and HELPS.

Whenever corn-meal is to be fed to
swine, horses, or to poultry, there is
but little doubt it would be more pro-
fitable TO grind the cob with the corn
than to shell the corn, and thus have
only the clear meal to feed.
A room crowded to discomfort with
furniture and ornaments, no matter
how costly, is never restful and home
like and always suggests the museum
or the shop.
Farmers are beginning to learn that
to feed large quantities. of clear meal
to farm stock is not economy, and
in fact, that it is not beneficial to the
health of the animals, specially to
pigs and hogs, and even horses. The
feeding of clear fine meal to young
chicks has killed large numbers; the
meal sogs together in the crop so hard
that it cannot digest, and so the chick
dies and the owner rarely suspects the
cause.
No matter how large the spot of oil,
any carpet or wooden stuff can be
cleaned by applying buckwheat, plenti-
fully and faithfully. brushing it into
a dust pan after short time, and put
ting on fresh until the oil has all dis
appeared. Never put on any liquid of
any kind to cleanse such spot.

Melons were first called canteloupes
from being cultivated at Cantcluppi. a
q villa near Rome, where they had
been introduced from Armenia, by
missionaries. The name is said to be
still in use in some parts of Europe for
a class OF deeply-ribbed. yellow -fieshed
melons. In this country It is applied
to different kinds of melons in different
localities and the significance of the
word cannot be we'll defined as now

A pastor of one of our southern

following: His superintendent often

he spoke to them of the Congo mission
and endeavOred to rouse their interest
in its behalf. His success was phc-

Victor Hugo.

Its difficult to imagine how Victor
Hugo wrote so much, considering the
way he is said to have labored. We
are told that he always worked in the
mornings; that he wrote standing,
with quill pen, on large-sized blush
paper; that after slowly and carefully
coming to Il period he would read the
sentence over. and Immediately pro-
coed to alter it and tinker at until he
had it hammered into the desired
shape, after which he would commence
new sentence, which was predes-
tined to undergo the same process. In
other words, he rough-hewed his idea
at first, then planed, sandpapered, and
vanished it before he chopped out an
other one. His manuscript presented
a singular appearance. 1t was sort
of battlefield on paper, in which the
killed words were we'll stamped out
and the recruits pushed forward in
anything but good order. 1t has also
been compared to sheet of music, in
which the blots looked like crotchets
and quavers. But, one way or an
other, Hugo managed to get along.

Story of Whistler.

There IS an Interesting story told of
Whistler, the artist. He had in his
youthful days, craze for models with
red hair. In London street one day
he happened to see young girl with
the wished-for auburn locks. carrying
jug OF milk; He Immediately fastened
after her calling: Hi, there! hi, there!'
The girl began to quicken her pace.
Whistler did the same. The girl began
to run. So did Whistler. Down the
terrified girl, dropping her ing of milk
in her flight. The street boys joined
in the chase, and a policeman, think
ing her thief, would have arrested
her had not Whistler, when he gained
his senses and his breath, explained the
matter, and paid her for her broken
jug of milk. But he did not get her as a
model. The terrif ed girl declined to
pose for the cratic artist.
