Sir ,Inlin franklin.

1t was in Warwickshire that made
the acquaintance of Sir John Franklin,
while / was still quito child. The
stout, good humored gentleman, whose
image appears before me as l write his
name, is associated in my mind with IN
event in which he took the keenest in
terest--a total eclipse Of the sun--but the
amusement afforded by rather absurd
incident connected with it / am afraid
engrossed my childish mind more than
all the scientific explanations of the
phenomenon which Sir John Franklin
was SO we'll qualified to give
In those primitive days it was held
that the host mode Of witnessing the OBJ
scuration of the sun was to watch it
through pieces of smoked glass, with
which we were all duly provided when
we sailed forth to an open piece Of
ground where nothing impeded the view.
The result was that in the course of q
few minutes the noses of every one pres
ent We're severely lackened--uncon-
sciously to themselves--and the appear
ance of the whole scientific party was
irresistibly comic
Sir John Franklin appeared then SO
full of life and energy and high spirits
that it was difficult to think Of him aft
erward as the wornout suffering hero Of
that last fatal voyage, which held the
country in suspense az to his fate during
a period cruelty long and trying to his
wife and toall who had relatives among
his companions in the icebound vessels.
One Of my cousins was of the number,
and | well remember the sensation in
his home when some Of tho relics Of the
disastrous expedition, afterward brought
back, were identified as having belonged
to him. .--BlackMood' Magazine.

Citric Acid.

Enormous quantities of citrio acid are
used in calico printing, in pharmaty and
in the preparation Of artificial lemonade.
About 1 \ ounces (570 grains)'o of pure
citrio acid dissolved in pint Of water
gives q solution which has the average
acidity of good lemon juice. When di-
luted with several times its bulk of wa.
ter, sweeten,d with sugar and scented
with single drop of essence of lemon,
an artificial lemonade is cheaply pro-
duced, which is much used as II cooling
drink in fever hospitals.
II has also been used ia the navy as O
substitute for fresh lemon juice in the
treatment or prevention of scurvy, but
has been found much less efficient. In
fact, this artificial lemonade is by nc
means equal to that mado from pure
lemon juice, whether used at table OF
for invalids. In rheumatism or rheu-
matte gout the fresh juice of the lemon
is preferred ON account of the bicitratC
Of potash which it contains. Pure lemon
juice is also valuable remedy in sore
throat and diphtheria. Gases have been
recorded in which children have appar-
emily been cured of this terrible disease
by constantly sucking oranges OF lemons.
Pure citric acid possesses, like some
other acids, the power Of destroying the
bad effects of polluted water used fol
drinking, but it is perhaps best to boil
tho water before adding little citrio
acid to it.--Chambers' Journal.

The American Pie.

Tho truth is that the American pie,
whether of pumpkin, mince, apples,
berries or any other material, is indig-
enous to the soil and cannot be success
fully initiated elsewhere Tho foreign
ers must como here in order to learn
how to make pies And every American
is born with an appetite for pie. The
foreigner in our midst, and the immi-
grant, assisted or otherwise, has to ac-
quire it. His Americanism, in fact, may
be tested by his taste for pie He is not
good citizen and fully qualified for all
the responsibilities and duties Of voter
until he has learned to love pie like o
native. And his wife and daughter must
learn to make pies Not the monstrosi-
ties that sometimes pass by that name,
the sodden, heavy, half baked abomina-
tions that fill the eater with homicidal
and suicidal tendencies, but the rich,
rare, racy and healthful "confections"
which every we'll trained American
housewife knows how to prepare. Troy

THE cANNY scoTcHMAN.
Bis Vices and His Virtues Compared with
Those of Other Folks.

One is not quite sure that the religi-
osity of the Scotch makes them so much
more virtuous than people who pay less
attention TO "the means Of grace. " But
while it cannot readily be proved that
they have more Of the positive virtues
than their neighbors there is at least
some reason to believe that they are
freer from few of the ugly vices than
their southern cousins, although when
the Scot is bad he is very bad. When he
gives way to drink, for instance, he
runs to great lengths. But it will be
found that there is much less wife beat
ing (there being nothing in Scotland ut
all resembling the frightful practice Of
"clogging" known in Lancashire
towns), much less cruelty to children,
much more kindliness and fellow feel
ing among the Scottish people than
among the English, while ut the same
time the Scotch are not nearly so clan
nish as the Irish, the jews or the Chi
nese.
In his poem ON "Nothing" Rochester
has classed "Scotch civility" along with
"French truth" and "Hibernian learn
ing as being nonexistent Even Walter
Scott causes Mr. Owen TO speak of a
typical Scot like Bailie Nicol Jarvie, as
"that cross grained crabstick of the
SaltmarlSet " and are we not told that
the term "Scot" as well as "Gael," de-
rived from word for "wind," means
"the violent, stormy peopley" In spite
of all this and much more TO the same
end the Scot, take him all in all, is not
fairly chnrgeable with being lacking in
courtesy. Tho word "couthy" (the op-
posite or positive Of "uncouth, dimin-
utived by the addition of the terminal
"y"), signifying Il combination Of quiet
kindliness and sweetness Of manner, has
no English equivalent, and thus would
seem to indicate peculiarly Scotch
quality, which, it may be said, tends to
wane considerably with the growth of
commercialism, giving place to brus-
query peculiarly the outcome of the
crush of business, and what Carlyle
called the "mere cash nexus" between
man and man.
Scottish speech abounds in what may
bo called pet words, which would seem
to testify that, whether the Scotch he
stormy and sharp tongued Or not, they
can, upon occasion, be as insinuatingly
smooth tongued as the willy Italian him
self. f.-Westminster Review.

DINING WITH THE PRINCE.
Tho Hospitality OF Albert Edward at MARI
borough House.


The Prince Of Wales gives in the
course Of the season certain special din
ners at Marlborough House, which in
many essential respects differ from those
which he attends at other peoples
houses. The guests do not number more
than As people, including the ladies and
gentlemen in attendance upon the prince
and princess. When members of the
royal family arrive at Marlborough
House, at the outer gate, the fact is at
once signaled from the lodge, SO that the
Prince and Princess of Wales arc never
taken by surprise, but are in readiness
to receive them.
The dining room in which the ban
uuet is served is magniflcently deco
rated apartment, with ceiling of white
and gold On the wall on the left hand
side is great square of red plush to set
Off the presentations of plate which have
been made to their royal highnesses dur
ing the recent years. The Prince of
Wales, as host, sits not at the end, but
In the middle seat, at She side Of q large
and long table. Table decorations are of
massive, ornate and rather heavy
character. A very high centerpiece is
filed with flowers, and more blossoms
nre placed in tall vases resembling speci-
men glasses.
Probably Marlborough House is the
only place in London in which the
knives and forks are laid so curiously.
To each guest two forks and no more
are provided, and these are placed proDgs
downward, reversing the usual method.
In addition there Is one large tablespoon
and one large knife. In no circumstance
are two knives permitted upon tho table
simultaneously, and for this rule very
strange reason is assigned. His royal
highness is very superstitious, and on
no account will he incur the risk Of
having knives crossed inadvertently
The wineglasses are placed, by the bye,
in line as straight MS u company Of
soldiers, and the services are simply fold
ed in two. Small water bottles are used,
but apparently finger bowls are tabooed
in Marlborough House.
Dinner begins at AS p. III. and lasts
for one hour and ten minutes Rapid
service is insisted upon. Yet four or five
walters only are allowed TO enter the
dining room, which is, however, some
distance from the kitchen. Celebrity and
dispatch arc obtained by the employ
ment of small army of assistants sta.
toned behind the scenes.
For dessert royal blue sevres is used
and when the time has como for coffee
and cigars the custom is once during
the year, and. only once--tho night oi
the Derby dinner---to hand to each guest
a silver lighter of unique design. N,
two lamps are alike, as they have at va
rious times hoen presented by differen
donors TO the Prince of Wales, aud eacl
one has its history. Ladies' HON,
