that the question of lndemnifying

IN July they took out licenses and fur

also In politics. So much So indeed, that twice
curing the reign Of her SOL. the late King AL
ionso MI. and three times since his death, mas
the Government been compelled to insist cour-
teousiy but firmly upon her immediate de-
parture from Spain. She found 1t difficult to
realize that her abdcation was irrevocable. that
her general behavior and mode of life are no
longer in keeping with the immensely improved
tone that prevails at tho court Of her daughter
ln-laW and grandson. and that the political
doctrines which she processes out Of date and
II enforced would merely result in another popu-
lar revolution similar to that which drove her
from the country In 1868.
Infinitely better sense was displayed by the
dowager Queen Olga Of Wurtemberg. who died
the other day on the shores of Lake Constance
after having survived her semi-demented hus-
band for about couple Of years. although It
was notorious that she had taken advantage Of
the condition of his mind to gather into her
own hands all tho reins Of power and to eXer-
else almost absolute rule In his name. converting
Russian influence in Germany; yet the very mo-
ment that her husband died she stepped down
off the throne and withdrew into the utmost re-
tirement. leaving the way entirely clear for her
young and lovely successor. Queen Charlotte

self to a slight or to snub
Even in far Cathay all the evils with which
poor China Is now being overwhelmed are at
tributed TO the disastrous influence Of the dow
ager Empress who Is held responsible for her
country's ruin
From this II will be seen that royal dowagers,
except when they consent completely to efface
themselves and to withdraw into obscurity are
trouble. which the people in olden times were
wont to obviate by burning the royal widow alive
along with the corpse Of the King

But HE DOES NOT CLEAN HOUSE IN THE
ORTHODOX FASHION.
Tho ovs,er is a particularly cleanly creature %
far as his own person is concerned. His notions OF
housekeeping. however. are not SUCH as would ne

way OF cleaning house is paint the dirt over
instead OF sweeping it out However. he Is not 10
blame for that. He does the best ne can 10 keep
clean with the resources at command.
An illustration Of his method. which is rather
remarkable. may be seen at some OF the oyster
counters Just now. Ii is found particularly IN
Rockaway oysters. In the hollow of the shells In
MANY instances are dark blotches the size or
finger nail. which look not unlike blood blister
These spots seem 10 be a discoloration in the SHELL

spots with fork and they are easily broken into'
showing A LAYER of shell OF tissue-paper thinness
covering small masses OF mud which may DO

oyster shell is reached.
The explanation Of this phenomenon Is fouhd IN
the weather of last winter. There was great
storm of the south shore OF Long Island. whicn
destroyed many of the Rockaway oyster oy
filling IN, M in with mud till the oysters were
smothered and by tearing the creatures from
their fastenings Many other beds. which were not
destroyed. were somewhat disturbed by the waves
seen now in the market. The mud forced itself
into their mouths and between the shell ana the,r
delicate membranes. II there is anything an
