occurred in eastern Massachusetts,.
A lady called at the house Of q neighbor on
an errand; but as the family was away, she
asked the hired man to tell his employer she
would call again. Being i'll hurry, and not
thinking but that the man knew who she was,
she did not leave her name. The lady of the
house returned before the rest Of the family

there who said she would call again.

The Way Royalty Eats.

In Italy, the court dimes around q table
covered with magnificent service in gold; it
is the only luxury; there are no flowers, and
the dishes of the country are invariably
seryed-above all, the fritto, composed Of a
foundation Of artichokes, liver, brains and
cocks combs. At the German court. the
finest table is that Of the grand duchess of
Baden; she has an excellent French cuisine
and Partisan chef. The queen of Sweden
has a very tempting table and bill Of fare
soups, almost always milk and beefsteak; one
of her favorite dishes b composed of balls of
mincemeat, cooked with oil and surrounded
with a garnishing Of poached eggs; then
there is almost at each repast the national
plate, salmon preserved in earth. Queen
Victorias favorite wine is pale sherry, which
she drinks from beautifully carved silver
cup, inherited from Queen Anne. The royal
dinner is very complete. The table is lighted
with gold candelabra, furnished with can
dies; orchids, placed in epergnes, rise up to
the ceiling. The queen eats special bread,
