The Queens Witty Rebuke.

A fact but little known is that, be-
sides Lord Kingsale and Lord Fores-
ter, there is another individual who
has the curious prerogative of remain
ing covered in the presence of the Brit
ish sovereign, namely, the master of
Trinity College, Cambridge. Anent
this curious anecdote has been mar
rated. A superstition prevails concern
ing the necessity for exercising the
right or losing it altogether, so when on
a certain occasion the queen visited
Cambridge University, the well-known
and highly-popular master of Trinity
kept his hat on during the proceedings,
the queen apparently did not notice
the circumstance, and the master began
to feel uncomfortable. AT length, Just
as her majesty was about to depart, he
deferentially approached and said:
'' Your majesty has perhaps wondered
that l should appear so far wanting in
respect as to keep my hat on all day,
but-er-perhaps it has escaped your
majesty's memory that Lord Kingsale
in Ireland, Lord Forester in England
and also the master of Trinity have a
right to keep their hats on in the pres
ence of their sovereign" "Quite So
ahem-but not in the presence of
lady!" was the freezing reioinder.-

The Singing Sands" OF Arabia.

The " singing sands" are stretches
OF sand. sometimes on the seashore.
sometimes on hillside of the interior,
which, when moved, produce distinct
musical note. Walking through them,
stirring them with stick or in any
way agitating their particles will cause
the sound, which continues some Sec
onds. Scientific men have been quite
at loss to account for so singular a
phenomenon, and have suggested
many wild explanations. The prob
lem is complicated by several curious
circumstances in connection with the
sand. 1t has been ascertained, for in
stance, that if carried away in bags the
sand loses its musical power, but re-
tains it if transported in glass vessels.
Wetting the sand while in an artificial
receptacle destroys its power of pro-
ducing tone, but rain has no such effect,
since as soon as the sand is dry it is as
sonorous as before. The singing sand
is found in no fewer than twenty-six
places on the eastern coast of the
United States and in at least two on
the Pacific EGchange.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Gus
tachian tube. When the tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out, aud this tube restored to lite nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that we can not cure by taking

How to Cook a Husband.

We have lately seen recipe in an
English paper contributed by one
Mary" which points out the moduS
operandi of preparing and cooking hus-
bands. Mary states that a good many
husbands are spoiled in cooking. Some
women go about it as if their lords were
bladders and blow them up; others
keep them constantly in hot water,
while others again freeze them by con-
jugal GOODNESS. Some smother them in
the hottest beds of contention and va
rance, and some keep them in pickle
all their lives-these women always
serve them up as sauce. Now it can
not be supposed that husbands will be
tender and good-managed in this way,
but they are on the contrary quite de-
licious when preserved. Mary points
out her manner thus: Get a jar called
the jar of cheerfulness (Which by the
way all wives have at hand), being
placed in it, set him near the fire of con-
jugal love; let the fire be pretty hot,
especially let it be clear and constant
cover him with quantities of affection,
kindness and subsection. Keep plenty
of these things by you and be very at
tentive to supply the place of any that
may waste by evaporation or any other
cause. Garnish with modest, becoming
familiarity and innocent pleasantly,
and if you add kisses, or confection-
cries, accompany them with sufficient
secrecy, and it would not be amiss to
add little prudence and moderation. -

A New Glass in Industry,

For fifty years to come horticultural
interests will probably increase, and
among horticulturists the skilled fruit
grower, owning from ten to fifty acres
of land, will best represent his class.
Such person is likely to be more of a
business man than the average farmer,
and in closer relations to town and city
life. He is compelled to travel more,
watches the markets and the fields of
invention closer, and represents, all in
all, finer type. A California fruit
grower is in some respects akin to the
middle class of suburban jewellers near
Boston and New York, with this very
important difference, that he actually
and constantly makes his living from
the soil he owns. The one tendency of
his life is toward what may be termed
extreme Californianism," for he is
growing almonds or oranges or some
thing or other that can not be produced
at profit in many other places on the
continent, and the GLORIOUS climate I"
is his best friend. But, on the other
hand, he is in skilled business, full of
technical details, requiring plenty of
brain-work, and he is selling in the
worlds markets. Many a California
grower of raisins, oranges, walnuts,
olives, prunes, or other horticultural
products goes to Chicago and New
York every autumn, " to keep the run
of the field" The drift of Pacific coast
life is toward rapid increase of the
number of orchardists. They are or
ganized, too, in a manner unknown
among the farmers, and have several
times shown unsupported courage in
independent politics. Some of these
days professional politicians will have
to deal with a new factor-the horti-
culturist, distinct evolution from the
conservative American type, quicker of
brain, less welded to party bonds, and
more capable of understanding the in
terests of the commonwealth Charles
