STANLEY AND VICTORIA.
The Explorer Has an Audience with the
Queen,

Queen,
Edmund Yates London cable to the
New York Tribune says:
"Queen Victoria has been much in.
terested in Mr.. Stanley, and as she was
determined to know him, she invited all
the members of her family that were
available TO meet him. He drove from
the station at Windsor On his arrival TO
Cranbourne tower, Windsor park. where
the Queen WAS having tea, and he had
his first audience there, after which he
drove back TO the castle. After dinner
he was desired by the Queen TO give a
short account of his journey. which
short account took over an hour TO de-
liver.
The Queen has now given up her
habit OF standing after dinner in the
gallery at Windsor. and as soon as she
gets into the drawing room chair is
brought and she sits down. as she can
not from lameneSs stand any length of
time. The Queen is Queen ALWAYS.
Nothing tires her so much as the draw
ing-room, for the perpetual variety OF
colors dazzle and much fatigue her. She
was, however, gracious and smiling. and
no one would have guessed from her APP
pearance that she was unwell
THE visit of the Shahs first ravorite
wife to Europe will cost at least 500, 600.
Her journey from Teheran to Vienna
occupied four weeks, and the expenses
were &c, $40. The fees of two surgeons
who attended her I'm Vienna and oper
ated on her left eye amounted to G. 900,
and 81 900 has been paid for the hire OF
villa at Franzensbad, where the Sui
tana is TO go for month before return
ing to Persia.
THE Sultana, who is just A., but who
looks like very aged woman, has an
immense influence over the Shah who
is devoted TO her, and IL she had died
during the operation which she recently
underwent the astrologer who advised
the journey to Vienna would assuredly
have been beheaded."

Darkened Homes.

1t has been demonstrated beyond ques-
ton that darkened homes breed laziness,
dirt, and corruption. The eye is not Of
Tended at what il sees not; and the dame
of the kitchen surely doesn't carry a
fash lantern about to search corners for
dust. Wherever there is least light, We
find the most moths, for in the breeding
season mother instinct looks for dark
places and there rests, says the Uphot-
steer. To be sure, house we'll lighted
shows up its defects; but poverty's hon
est, you know, and cleanliness is next TO
goodness, so, as a matter of cleanliness,
you should avoid the dark as you would a
pestilence. If every cupboard and closet
in q house were we'll lighted and well
busted, there would be no vermin: and if
the sun could shine into every doorway,
there would be more health. We have
heard this trite maxim for several years
past. and those who would live in an in
tellectual atmosphere, subdued and
hushed, have smiled at it with an air of
conscious superioritv: but the revolution
has come, nevertheless, and now the
great upholstery problem is, How to con-
vert this house, furnished TO exclude
light, into a cheerful, well-ventilated
home, without complete tearing up of
old furnishings and in a way, 90, that
will not disclose the blemishes of the
furnishings too cruelly.-BostOn Herald.

deadwaiter Belts. Of Young's Hotel,
makes IL q practice to deliver q lecture TO
his men at stated periods. One of his
recent lectures was, in part, rs follows:
1.-THE first requirement of a waiter Is q
gentlemanly bearing No one but gen.
tleman can be a good waiter. i want to
speak now about this habit of passing
around subscription papers among the
guests in aid of sick employees. You
must stop that. Never beg for any one
but yourself. In the matter of serving
wines, if you don't h ippen to know what
glass to use for particular wine, ask
some one. The trouble is that some men
can't be told anything. They will never
learn to be walters. If person orders a
pot OF coffee, don't bring up cold milk
unless il is called for. Bring up hot milk
with coffee, and cold milk with tea. Al
ways serve fine sugar with tomatoes and
lettuce, and cracked ice with cucumbers,
tomatoes, watermelons, canteloupe and
muskmelon. Berries, OF course, need
milk or cream and pulverized sugar
Don't cover the bread plate with
napkin. 1t looks as if there were dirt
or dust around. This matter OF laughing
and fooling doesn't make waiter. Never
chew tobacco and spit on the doorm ats,
and don't gather in groups in the CORR
doris. Sleeping on watches must also be
stopped. All cold meats ought to be
furnished with parsley, lettuce or celery.
Be careful about leaving your side towels
around. Another man comes along with
something TO wipe. and he doesn't know
whether it has been lying there for
twenty seconds or twenty years. 1t is a
good plan not to wipe your face with AN
apron or wei, nor be too familiar with
the guests. Do your drinking in the
proper place. If you don't study these
little things, you will always be down as
sure as you are born. "-Boston Courier.

this county during the months of Feb
ruary and March this year.
The first shipment of cucumbers

sisting of ten boxes, passed through

that the cancer which for several
years has affected his right cheek, is
rapidly disappearing under system

Mr.. Hill Ardinger, this place, and
well-kown fisherman and trapper,
has obtained additional notoriety by
capturing at " Indian Church." few
miles above here, female fox and
her family of eleven young ones. The
capture was effected on Thursday of

luck.
