A ROYAL LAUNDRY.


An Aneclo.c Characteristic OF King Lud-
wig L. OF Bavaria.
King Ludwig /. of Bavaria, whose
name is being recalled at the present
time in various ways, was as much
noted for his lavish expenditure of
money in identifying his capital as for
his economy in minor matters. 1t is
said he wore the same old coat to be
shaved in for forty years, and when
ever it rained sent lackey for his old
umbrella, saying it was too bad to use
the new one, for it had cost seven
gulden. The following anecdote is
quite characteristic of the King: Among
the many privileges enjoyed by all
persons in the slightest way connected
with the court, during the reign of his
easy-going predecessor. King Max,
from the chief marshal down to the
oven heater, was that of having their
soiled linen washed in the royal laun-
dry. Shortly after King Ludwig's &C
cession, as he was standing one morn
ing looking out of the palace window,
his wonder and curiosity were aroused
by seeing numerous wagons drive up,
one after the other in front of the royal
residence, all laden with mysterious
looking bundles, which disappeared
within the palace walls. Sending for
his castelar,, the King inquired the
meaning of this strange procession.
MAY it please your Majesty" replied
the astonished castelar,, lit was ever
the custom of our late King of blessed
memory to allow a few needy and
deserving persons to send their wash
ing to the royal laundry GA few
persons!'' exclaimed Ludwig; s'nearly
an hour have [ been standing at this
window, and there is still no end to the
procession This is an imposition, a
downright imposition, and it shall go
on no longer" And he gave strict or
ders to have the bundles remain I'M
opened, to keep them till Easter Tues
! day, when they were to be returned
a1aaoGshed, with strict injunction
never to be sent again. The result
was, adds our ehronicler, that half Of
Munich had no clean shirt for Easter.

How to Make an Easy Rug.

Take piece of Brussels or tapestry
carpet the size desired. With wooden
needles and Germantown yarn knit a
lace about four Or five inches wide,
choosing an easy pattern. The color
OF the yarn should contrast well
with the prevailing color in the car
pet, although maroon or cardinal usu-
ally looks wcll with any colors used
for this purpose. Sew the lace
around the piece of carpet as a
border, and you will be surprised
how nice it will look. This is so
simple to make that any one who can
use the knitting needles can make a
handsome rug in q very short time.
If harder yarn is liked, the Scotch
Starlight will answer the purpose, for
it wears excellently. For those who
crochet but do not knit, any crochet
edge will look pretty, prov iding the
hook used is coarse, as the coarser this
edge is made the prettier it will look

Fob Burdette Gives Some Practical Adj
vice to Young Men.
My son, you may not be missed a
great deal by a very wide circle of
people when you die. 1t won't be nee
eesary for you to leave much money for
a tombstone. The few people who love
you, who tenderly and dearly and truly
love you, will know which mound covers
your sleeping figure, and they can find
it Just by the ferns and grasses that
wave above it; and a monument ninety
set high won't make strangers care for
you, or make them love you, or make
them remember you. You may not be
missed great deal by very many peo-
pie when you die, my boy; but that
sn't what you want to think about.
You want to make yourself felt and
noticed while you are here. That's
what you want to do. And that is
more than most men do. Just run
your eye over this paragraph again,
if you have time, and think over it a
a little while you are waiting for morn
ing service to begin. Now and then
YOU will meet a man who actually re-
ioices, in a mean envious sort of way,
to think that in a few years his more
popular, prosperous, successful neigh
Dor will be dead and forgotten. 1t may
be true The big, wide world is SO
busy with the living, that she does seem
to forget her children when they fall
asleep. But you will notice that the
man who rejoices in this is really a
man whom she has forgotten while
ha yet lives; who is not felt or heard
in the world at all. Now, do you go
ahead, my boy, and don't stop to won
der If the world will remember you and
miss you one hundred years from now.
Little you II care for this old world in
. hundred years from now; Heaven
grant it may be under your feet then!
You Just go ahead and make yourself
isltnow. When you are gone the world
viii get along without you. my boy; but
while you are here do you make 1t un-
derstand that you are running part OF
this show yourself, if it is nothing more
than standing at the tent-door, and di-
recting the people to pass to the right.
and move along in front of the cages.

Drew blood, modern doctors cleanse it;
hence the increased demand for Altera-

diseases are due, not to over-abundance,
but to impurity, of the Blood and it

WAYS OF THE WORLD.
A Philosophers View Of Life as He Fsnds
lit NOWADAYS.

A Philosophers View Of Life as He Findg
1t Nowadays
In these days we hear but little of the
good people in the world We are too
busy studying the scandalous and
criminal side of life to take any heed
of the deeds of charity and the tender
sympathy that are not as rare as they
seem to be. Really, looking at life to-
day, listening to conversation and not
ing what seems to interest people the
most, one would imagine that virtue
and charity had departed altogether,
aud there was nothing pure or noble in
the world. We have grown selfish and
callous. When the lightning of death
or severe suffering does not strike us,
or near us, we are content to believe
nobody else suffers The Grape has no
longer any significance; the bereawe-
ment of a friend gets the moments
meaningless coincidence, and we GO ON
with our busy life. We have no time
to mourn nowadays. There has crept
into our views of life SO much phigoso-
ply that a little wreath of flowers is
all we consider necessary to show our
respect for the dead friend; we pay
SO much money out in some form or
another and our mourning is over.
What do we care for the dead? Let
them go. They are beyond our SYM
pafhy, beyond our love or our hate.
Let them pass. There are other peo-
pie te take their place in our affections.
We have too much philosophy to-
allow orr grief to interfere with our
pleasures. We are practical people,
and we have no fiddle-faddle sentiment
about us. We have no real friendships
nowadays. We must not get too deeply
interested in anybody, or If any thing
happens to him or her we will perhaps
suffer a little pain, and what's the
good? Selfshness is the first law of
our modern life. Self-sacrifce may
still exist among women, but women
are weak things at best. CharityP
Give him five dollars; send him some
thing to eat that is dainty. go and
knock at the door and ask how he is,
and then go off to your fun. Affection?
Say you are SO sorry he is sick, and
forget all about him. Dead? "Poor
fellow! He was a good fellow. and [
am sorry he's gone. What card was
that you playedP" But perhaps after
all there are some eyes that the tears
come to; somebody's hand grasps the
sufferers and sends the comfort of true
sympathy through his weakening
frame; perhaps somebody sits in a
chair by the fire in the lonely room
and fancies she sees him there, feels
his arms about her, hears his voice and
pays tribute to him with throbbing
heart. Somewhere or another, it may
be, some merry laugh stops half ut
tered, and somebody rises from the
joyous party and says: 81 can not play
tonight; [ am not we'll" But it is Curl
Gus that the larger the world grows the
smaller the sympathetic circle seeT.s
to get. The more friends man has
the less real friendship. To be happy?
1t is to have one woman who loves you
to love, and one man who trusts you to
trust.-SGn Francisco Chronicle.

Hand and his mate II. J, Burke, from the wreck
OF the schooner Judge Hopkinson in Chesapeake
lay, on tho 18th OF January, and you suggest
That their bravery should not pass unnoticed
aud should not be long unrewarded.
beg to state that 1 agree with you entirely
ana think an opportunity ought to be afforded to
all persons who value unselish heroism to con-
tribute towards providing testimonial for the
two men who SO bravely risked their lives, with
out hope OF reward in poor boat, on a stormy
day and through perilous floating ice, to save
those who had no claim upon them save the claim
misfortune and distress always have upon every
man worthy of the name, white or black.

spectfully suggest that n subscription paper he

NO one who was not an eye witness, as | was
OF the pcrilous and painful situation of Capt

ing for help, their vessel sunk and u sleoty rain
falling on them. can realize fully the brave act
performed by Johnson and Christie. Public

were given why the law should be enforced, one
OF which was that 1t is not safe for lady to drive

ported that some Improvements havo been made
since our last meeting. The stables have been re-
modelled and the arrangements for feeding and
handling stock are very convenient. The stalls
arc filled with fine lot of young steers and
mich cows, all in good condition. The crop Of
fodder had been cut by steam power and piled in
ono of the mows of the barn.
Some discussion was had on breaking Corn
Stalks. Some preferred to use tho hoe Others
use pole with horse attached to each end

attention was also called to the heavy expense of
Keeping up fences, by an article read on that
