The Imperial BODY Gnard.

The Cent Gardes foundered with the
Second Empire in 1870, says London
Truth. The corps dated from the time
of the Crimean War, when visit from
Queen Victoria was expected. The
tallest and finest looking men and off,
GERS were selected for the cavalry.
There were 1877 of the former and il
OF the latter, but the number Of men
was increased to POS. Their function
was purely decorative, and they chiefly
served within the palace. What swells
the officers were In their sky-blue uni
form bedight with gold lacel The
corps had regulations Of their own.
They were on no account when on
duty, to stir unless TO salute the EN-
peror or the Empress.
One day Marshal Castellane, vain,
old, peppery parsonage, had occasion to
see the Emperor soon after the crea-
ton OF the Cent Gardes. Two Of them
Kept guard beside the door opening
from the anteroom on the presence
chamber. They remained in the regu-
lation attitude-that Is to say. with the
right arm horizontally stretched out,
and holding a musket by the bayonet.
The butt end rested ON the ground
The Marshal was in uniform. Furious
at not being saluted. he asked the one
nearest to bin what he meant. The
Cent Garde seemed neither TO see nor
hear. Castellane lost self-restraint and
abused him. Still the soldier remained
impressive. The irate Marshal sent for
Col. Verify to complain. The Colonel
failed to make him understand that
approval and not chastisement was
due. Thus tho matter was brought be-
fore the Emperor. who gave the com
plainant sharp rap on the knuckles

tan attitude Of household guard who

Farmer that the japanese plums seem
10 have the power of resisting the cur
culio. The crescsnt-shaped marks are
often seen upon the fruit. but wheth-
er no eggs are deposited or they fail
TO hatch he cannot tell. but no per
ceptible injury is apparent. Many trees
were so overloaded with fruit that ii
would have been an advantage if some
had been destroyed by the insect. In
one orchard under his observation
about the close Of July there were two
or three weeks Of hot. rainy weather
and many Of the plums were attacked
by rot and fell off. This often occurs
among the old varieties in such wealth

all hardy, whether early or late. he
