Citric Acid.

Enormous quantities Of citric acid are
used i'll calico printing, in pharmacy and
i'll the preparation of artificial lemonade.
About Il onnces (510 grains) of pure
cltric acid dissolved in pint of water
gives solution which has the average
acidity of good lemon juice. When di-
luted with several times its bulk of wa
ter, sweetened with sugar and scented
with single drop Of essence of lemon,
an artificial lemonade is cheaply pro-
duced, which is much used as cooling
drink in fever hospitals.
1t has also been used in the navy as q
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 no
means equal to that made from pure
lemon juice, whether used at table or
for invalids. In rheumatism or rheu-
matte gout the fresh juice of the lemon
Is preferred on account of tho bicitrate
OF potash which it contains. Pure lemon
juice is also valuable remedy in sora
throat and diphtheria Cases have becn
recorded i'll which children have appar-
emily been cured of this terrible disease
by constantly sucking oranges or lemons.
Pure citric acid possesses, like somo
other acids, tho power of destroying the
bad effects Of polluted water used for
drinking, but it is perhaps best to boil
the water before adding little citric
acid to lt.--Chambers' Journal.

The National Business College, of

the most f1attering uspices. Under the
admirable management of Prof. Eck-
erie the college has prospered until
the students number over hundred,
and among them are representatives of

the thirteen graduates in August last
nine are holding positions Of RESPONSE
bility and trust The influence Of the
shool has been far reaching and the

and special attention is paid to stem
ography and bookkeeping. The To-
structors are all masters in their re-
spective lines, and the facilities for q
complete and thorough course Of instruc
ton are ample to meet all the require
ments OF the most aduancep communi-

DINING WITH THE PRINCE
Tho Hospitality of Albert Edward at nraxl

=
borough House.
Tho 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 40 people, including the ladies and
gentlemen i'll 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 arc in readiness
| to receive them.
The dining room in which tho ban
quet IS served is y magnificently deco
| rated apartment, with u ceiling of white
and gold. On the wall on the left hand
SIDE is great square of red plush to set
OFT tho 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
i'll the middle seat, at tho side of a large
and long table. Table decorations are of
massive, ornate and rather heavy
character. = very high centerpiece is
flied with flowers, and moro blossoms
are placed i'll tall vases resembling speci-
men glasses.
Probably Marlborough House is tho
only place i'll London in which the
knives and forks are laid SO curiouslv
To each guest two forks and no more
are provided, and these are placed prongs
downward, reversing the usual method.
In addition there is one large tablespoon
and one large knife In 10 circumstance
are two knives permitted upon the table
simultaneously, and for this rule a 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,
i'll a line as straight as company of
soldiers, and the services are simply fold
cd i'll two. Small water bottles are used,
but apparently finger bowls are tabooed
III Marlborough House.
Dinner begins at 40 D. m. 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--the night of
the Derby dinner--to hand to each guest
silver lighter of unique design. No
two lamps are alike, as they have at va
rious times been presented by different
donors to the Prince of Wales, and each
one has its history. -Ladies' Home

WASHINGTON, April 28.-Ex-Congress-

''In the first place." said he, 1--WE pro-
pose to maintain the concessions OBJ

The whole purpose of the prosecution
and persecution of Weller by the French
Government was to despoil him out of

Government realizes that the concessions
are of great value. Then we intend to
force the French Government to paw To
Waller an indemnity commensurate

which he had said called for q thorough
investigation and report on the case by
Minister Eustis at Paris and the Consul
at Iamatave, Madagascar. AS soon as
these are received, If they are shown To
