English In Court.

The queen speaks English to Prince
Henry of Battenberg, and even TO the
grand duke of Hesse and the duchess
of Coburg-Gotha, and the prince OF
Wales writes almost always in English
10 his mother and to his other relatives
living in England. German is only
spoken in conversation with German
and Austrian ambassadors, and during
an audience to German or Austrian sub
Jccts. With all other diplomatistS
French is always spoken. But in in
tercourse with the Danish royal family.
German is nearly always the language
spoken.-Chicago Chronicle.

The pastor sat down and ate with an
excellent appetite. He made yawning

f1aky biscuit, and added to its flavor by
several spoonfuls of amber ounce pre-

A workman in mine who had PLAYED
cricket in his time once saved his life
by making good catch. He was stand

a bucketful of dynamite sticks that
were being lowered to him. The bucket
was well on its way down when he saw
IL strike against some obstacle and turn
partly over. Out fell one of the sticks.
He watched it falling in a zigzag course

TO CLEAN BLACK GOODS.
Valuable Suggestions for the Home Dress
maker.


Everyone has or wants black gown
nowadays, and such goods as serge,
cheviot, cashmere, Henrietta, etc, are
easily cleaned. First remove the grease
spots with naptha, and remember that
this fluid is very explosive when exposed
to either light or fire. Make lather of
warm soapsuds, using good, not
strong, soap, and a teaspoonful of borax
to every two quarts of water. Into
this dip the goods up and down and
wash between the hands; then wiring
gently and pat partly dry; hang in the
shade and when nearly dry iron on the

iron. Always rinse in luke-warm water.
| and iron until the material is perfectly
| dry. Never rub fabric that is being
| renovated OH the dashboard, nor wiring
it tightly, and in using naphtha remen.
Der that it roughens the hands, and that
after using it, it is well to put vaselino
upon them and to use old gloves. WASH
alpaca in the same manner as cashmere,
adding a little gum arabic to the rinsing
water. If the black goods are of n rusty
color, restore them by sponging with
ammonia and alcohol. Always use a
piece of the same material or one near
to it to sponge with. Remove grease
from colored cashmere with French
chalk. Rub it on the spot, then let it re-
main all night, and in the morning
brush off; if necessary repeat the trear-
ment. Wash a colored wooden fabric,
as cashmere or serge, in warm water.

gall and ammonia to pail of water.
Have the rinsing water ready, with u
small portion of beefs gall in that.
and wash and rinse quickly; dry in the
shade and iron on the wrong side with
a warm, not hot, iron. French chalk
can be used on any color and material.
Benzine will remove paint--it is also
very explosive-but sometimes leaves n
stain like water. This stain may often
be removed with French chalk. Grease
is also removed by rubbing the spot

the twelve years of harassing litigation
through which they have passed in
order to establish Florence as the sole

to quiet the holders of these claims and
it was for the purpose of raising this
amount that W. H. H. Hart, Mrs.
Hinckley's legal adviser. started Sun
day night for New York. The half
million could not be raised here for the
reason, it is said. that local capitalists
wanted an exorbitant rate of interest
and outside securities, in order to
protect them to a considerable de-
gree against a possible overturning in
the United States circuit court of the
