GermnnY.a ROYAL Children,

The young emperor of Germany, William
II, has tivo little boys The eldest is years
old. He is the crown prince and the heir to
the throne. He will some day be emperor of
Germany. He is Il fine manly little fellow
Germanyis is very military country, and
Emperor William is such thorough soldier
that strict military discipline is the order of
the day in the nurseries of his little people,
As soon us petticoats are left off, the tiny
boys arc dressed in baby uniforms, and the
young crown prince looks quite like little
soldier.
When their father visits them in their own
quarssrs (as l suppose ought to call such a
very military nursery, the crown prince
commands his smaller brothers to "fall in. u
Then Frederick and Albert, who are scarce
" moro than babies, .'fall in" Little Prince
Albert is such mite that he is not able to
keep his position for long, and he soon trots
away to his nurses side But the crown
prince and Prince Frederick stand stiff and
starched like real soldiers till their father
returns their salute in proper fashion.
When the little crown prince was years
old, he was given q bedroom to himself, in
stead of sleeping in the nursery with the
Others. He was very pleased, aud said, 'tOh,
that . nice; now I need not be with the
children any more."-Our Little Men and

tlcunin. Mems Clothing.

The process Of cleaning mems and boys
clothing is perfectly simple. though laborious
and unpleasant. Diagonal, cashmere and
such materials will stand washing and if IL
coat, vest or pair OF trousers is very dirty or
shiny this is the best way to clean and
treshen tup. 1t is the way the professional
scourers io it. First, make strong soap
suds with clean warm water. Never wash
cloth i'll water that has been used for other
things, us it will make it inty. Souse the
garment up aud down III the suds and rub
out all dirty places and grease spots If very
much soilrl, IL may go through n second
suds; then rinse well through several waters
us warm as the suds and hang up to dry.
When almost dry roll it up for an hour or so;
then press it,
The secret Of pressing without having the
goods look shiny is to put II piece of old mus
lin between tho goods and the iron and to
take up the iron without fail before the steam
stops rising from the cloth Ii there arc bad
wrinkles or shiny places, put wet cloth over
them and press with hot iron, not forget
ting to lift off the iron when the full heud Of
steam is rising, So that the nap of the cloth
will be lifted

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE,

Fruit as II Food-Its sa1utary Effects in
Various Disorders.
The advantages Of eating fruit at the be-
ginning OF meal are explained by Dr. Ferdi-
nand Seeger in Medical Classics as follows:
1t presents a bland or congenial material to
the delicate lining membrane Of the aliment-
airy organs, forming welcome precursor to
the more substantial articles, many Of which
require protracted energy for their elabora-
ton into nutrin,ent. At the same time it is
to some extent safeguard against the over
feeding which comes from reserving the fruit
Till the stomach is already overloaded with
other food.
Fruits should be ripe when eaten on an
empty stomach, and for their laxative effect
should be eaten before anything else. h, this
way constipation may, with many individu-
ais, bc obviated, especially when tho quantity
of other articles of the meal is within reason
able limits. DR.. Seeger tells that in addition
to fruits, benefit will be derived from the use
OF corn bread, cracked wheat, oatmeal, bread
OF unbolted -four, und such vegetables us
green corn, tomatoes and celery Those
troubled With habitual constipation, to a
moderate extent, may overcome it by tho
daily use of u few almonds and raisns, about
six of each. Hemorrhods due to congestion

HeHeHleu " Lut EIu pc cure, OF uleb or fruits
and succulent vegetables.
Fruit consists essentially of two parts viz:
the juices and the cellular structures in which
the juices are contained; and it is necessary
to add that, whilst the juices may be readily
transformed, the cells are not eusy digested
and, when possible, are thrown away. This
is seen in such fruits as the orange and apple
when not Of good quality or not ripe. In
such fruits as the strawberry, the pineapple,
the grape, and even the banana, the cell wall
is very thin, and this is easily broken up, SO
that its presence is not perceptible, and the
digestion of it cannot be difficult. As gen
eral expression, it may be stated of any fruit
that tho variety which yields the richest
juices in the greatest quantity, whilst the
cellular framework is the least perceptible
on mastication, is the most preferredand the
most digestible. &%.@"...aa.. .M... ..... r.
A gentle diarrhea, brought on BY eating
ripe fruit in summer, hiss frequently salu-
tary effect. According to the authority
quoted, acid and astringent fruit, being
rather medicine than food, is less hurtful
to the healthy and to children than is com
monty imagined. Instead of being noxious
rs some imagine, in inhanmatory disorders,
it is Of the greatest service Persons of n
thick and languld blood cannot eat anything
more conducive to health than fruit, as it
possesses the property of alternating and
putting such blood in motion. Fruit dimin-
ishes the ncidity of the urine. By virtue Of
this result the employment Of fruit is calcu-
lated to prove advantageous in gout and
other cases where the urine shows a tendency
to throw down n deposit of lithc acid

Adults as well as children have generally
an insurmountable dread OF that excellent
remedial agent, q mustard poultice. 1t bites,
certainly, but if In acute pain the counter
irritation is always soothing in effect. In
cases Of sudden and severe sore throat the
application Of n mustard plaster is often
most beneficial. 1t need not be kept on until
there is great redncss Of the skin; certainly
not until it blisters. A lnsecd poultice, if
properly made, is moro agreeable by reason
Of the absence OF tho pain caused by mustard
But it is, perhaps, less etlicacious than the
mordant application in severe cases ana after
the use Of lnseed i'll poultice form extreme
care must be taken to prevent cold. am

will not raise II blister, but | cannot voEch

men comparatively know how to mako prop
erly n pouItico of either linseed or mustard
Tho former should be newly ground, or it
loses half its desirable qualities. Then how
few know that the bowl for mixing and the
spoon must be hot, the water boiling; that
expedition is an Indispensable condition; that
the muslin in which tho poultico is incascl
must be previously warmed, and if the pa
tient be in another part Of tho house that 4
hot soup plato with another hot plate over
should be used to keep the linseed hot i'll

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE,

The Woman of Tact and Punctuality-Yis-
itnE Cards for Husband and Wife.
\ wise man once said that tact is better
than genius. Very desirable in I, man, it is
almost essential i'll n woman; but it is a
heaven born quality, and hardly acquired by
those who have it not. You know ut once
by instinct when you are in house managed
by q wnll1;,n who has real talent for being
the presiding genius of u home; there is Il de-
licious atmosphere Of rcpose, no hurry, no
hustle. She always has leisure to attend to
everything aud everybody, be the house ever
SO large or the family ever SO numerous. You
are sure of n welcome when you arrive; but
She is by no means one of those people who
encourage visitors Mt all hours, leaving no
time for her proper ayocations She does
not iii living i'll Il town like running in and
out of her ncighbors houses, and has no taste
for gossip But you never hear her complain
she is overwhelmed with work, or that the
servants are SO troublesome, the children so
tiresome, or the trudcspeople SO unsatisfac
tory. No: She has method and powers of 3r-
ganization goes wheels, and her yis-
itors are rot weared by long accounts of the
cooks misdemeanors or the chihlren's lelil-
qucncies
There is tidiness without primness-every-
thing pretty, neat and comfortable; her
poorer ncighbors are well looked after COM
forted, advised and helped in their hours of
need. Pusctuality is strictly enforced; i'll
deed, without it, confort-nay, even happi-
ness--is we'll nigh impossible. Do not we all

OF the hours for meals prevail! and we re-
nctantly shorten our walk or drive put

Composite photography has yielded some
very interesting results, but it may be doubt
ed if any such picture has been more curious
than the portrait Of the sultan of Zan-
zibar The manner Of its production, as de-
scribed by Mr.. Johnston, is very simple. It
is a full length oil painting of his majesty,
and is done in duplicate
These two paintings are identical in every
detail. They were manufactured in Paris.
The sayyid had photograph taken of him

sitting posture. He sent it to Paris with tho
ordor that it was to he enlarged standing,
