RICHARD'S DANCING DOGS.
All Haste Hall Visiting London Is De
lighted With Thein.
M. Richard has made the music hall hit
of the season in London with his dancing
dogs. He is feted by the masses and pat-
ronized by the nobility. Altogether he
likes England much better than he does
France. In a reoent talk he said :
" I choose mongrels for training because
pure-bred dogs are useless for my purposes.
A pure•bred dog comes of a line bred for
some particular quality. Is it to run, to
point, to retrieve? All his soul is in run-
ning, pointing, retrieving, and he has no
faculty for anything else—he has no stock
ot braille left free for development. Mon-
grels are nee so ; they have not etrongly
inherited any special bent. So I take mei
dog, I look in his face to see if he is intel-
ligent, otherwise he is no use; the I

MUT IIIE EOM
Ironing' a Shirt,
Good and eultablo starch for shirt Work
and -the like le prepared ae followe A
eufficient quantity of etareh shoeld be re.
dueeci to an even petite with golUl water in
a perfectly clean pau, adding two heaped
tablespoonfuls of powdered borax to each
pound of dry sterol'. Cold water should
then be added until the etaroh is of the
eoesistence of new milk, and perfectly free
from lumps. Those inexperienced in
preparing ataroh will probably And it au
advantage to strain the starch through
muslin, but with some care this is not
wanted. When, doubto exist as to whet). e
the etarch is of right consistence, it is well
to sterch and iron au old collar, and i will
then be readily aeon if the requusite stiffneas
has been obtained.
In starching abide, the two halves of
the front should be folded together, the
outer seams being exactly level, au d. then
gathered together in the left hand in such
a way that the atiffened portions only may
be dipped in the atarch,while the plain pole
teens can be left dry, Thoroughly saturate
the parts to be stiffened with the starch,
and when this is done wriug out all super-
fluous starch with the disengaged hand.
Starch the cuffs or wristbands in the same
way, and after sprinkling the unstarched
parts with clean water, roll down tightly
with the fronts and wristbands inside, and
in about two hours the shirt will be fit to
iron.
The ironing board or kitchen table should
be covered with about four layers of blank-
ets, and over this should be stretched an
ironing sheet, the whole arrangement being
tacked or obberwise firmly fastened down.
Beyond these things a piece of flannel
folded about four times, to a size rattier
larger than an ordinary shirt front, a few
pieces of clean linen, a clean linen cloth
for a damper, and a fairly large pan or
basin of clean water are required, but
these can scarcely be called spemal appli-
ances. Everthing must be perfectly clean,
as a matter of course, and particular at-
tention must be paid to the hands, as
starched goods very readily pick up dirt,
whioh is difficult to remove without entire-
ly rewashing the soiled articles.
In ironing shirts, the modus operandi is
as follows : The shirt—which, by the way,
Is inside out—is unrolled and the yoke
ironed, it is then turned and the right aide
of the yoke and neckband ironed. The
ahirt is then folded lengthways from the
gathers of the yoke to the tail, and the
back is ironed on either side. After this
the wristbands are ironed, being polished
if necensary ; the sleeves being then taken
in hand and finished, putting in any pleats
that may be necessary, and being careful to
press them into proper shape. When this
is done take the shirt by the ehoulders and
turn ie front uppermost on the board, with
the collar to the lett hand, and after put-
ting in any necessary pleats in the book,
insert the folded front flannel and proceed
with the front.
Before commencing to iron the front
should be pulled into shape, after which it
should be ironed until thoroughly dry,
doing one side at a time, and being careful
to avoid making creases. ViThen bothsides
are done pin the collar or neckband togeth-
er, and run the iron down the centre and
across the base of the front, afterward
ironing the remaining unstarched portions
of the garmennand putting in any necessary
pleats. W hen this is done, carefully turn
the shirt front downward on the board and
fold neatly, pinning the shouldera together
to round the front somewhat. Then hang
before the fire to thoroughly dry and harden
the work.
Good Morning.
As soon as her little one can speak, the
mother should teach it to bid "Good morn-
ing" to every member of the family as it
meets them for the first time in the day.
It is the habit of home courtesies of this
kind, insisted upon until they are natural
as breathing, that makes the well-bred
children, who make the well-bred men and
women, always polite and courteous as
a matter of aourse,with that true politeness
that comae from the heart. "Company
manners" are ueually no manners at all ;
and the mother that brings her children up
to regard the social amenities in the home
will need have no fear of their behavior
when they are away from home.
So begin with the "Good morning,"
which should be the introduction of all good
things to follow.
The Draw Curtain.
Only those who have used them know
what a finish and air of neatness draw our-
taine give to a room. They are made of
white or very light figured material, and
cover the lower half of the window. Put
a easing in the top of the curtain and'Intm
O small brass rod through it, Rest the ends
of the rod on little brass brackets eet on the
sides of the window. If it is not desired
to purchase the rods, a strong string fast-
ened on a nail at either side and stretched
tightly across will do, but it will not be very
satisfactory. The material may be pur-
chased at a cost of a few cents per yard,
but the skirts of old lawn or white dresses
have been utilized for this purpose and
very pretty they were, too. These curlains
aro especially pretty in the dinning and
bed rooms.
Cup Pudding.
Pour over a tea cup of fine.bread crumbs
a pint of hot milk, let stand half an hour;
beat four eggs very light, mix with milk
and bread; add sugar to taste; a table-

iteguit ixt SerlOtts Trouble Iletveeeet
Thee tountrtee
A Spenish guriboet cruising %hoist the
bland of Chiba fired upon a United States
merchantman the other day, For that
outrage the Washington Government was
prompt to demand an explanation. An
epology will no doubt be made, as one un-
queetionably is dim, if the eircurnstancee
are ae the American captain describes
them. Fortunately the offerisive idiot
harmed 'nothing but the national dignity
of the United States, It Wae fired at a
time of war, when the Government of
Spain was engaged in putting down re-'
bellien in cno of the colonies. At such
times mistakes may be made, and trading
vesse 0 are expected to steer a prudent
course. Spain is having trouble with Cube,
its greatest eolony, and the fittest island in
thegroup of the West Indies. It liea just off
the coast of Florida, and the United States
has long had covetous eyes upon it. A
euarrel with Spain at the moment when
a considerable part of the islend isin active
rebellion against Spain's vicious colonial
system would make an opening for United
States intelferenoe between the mother
country and the colony, An excuse is all
that is wanted to bring that island, as the
Hewaiian islands have been brought, under
the control of invader e who are supported
by the United States. Even before the
firing of the shot that has caused so great a
commotion in jingo circles, interference in
behalf of the Cuban rebele was openly
advoce.ted by certain journals and politi-
cians. The disposition to deprive Spain of
its finest colony is all the stronger since she
retaliated agitieet the duty on raw sugar.
Threats of further reprisals on the part of
the United States, end urgent representa-
tions by commercial interests in Cuba,
induced her, however, to restore to the
minimum list the leading imports of the
island from the fJnited States. But it is
now the island itself that is wanted. Some
of the most prominent members of the
Republican party are singularly candid in
admitting this. William 0. Whitney, late
Secretary of the Navy, does not think an
apology wipes out the sffrone, and deolares
that the state of Cuba is a disgrace lying
at the. door of United States. Senator Pyre,
of Maine, and a member of the Committee
on Foregin Relations, hoped that Spain
would not apolog:ze, in order thet a pretext
for war and the conquest ot Cuba might be
had. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
the man who wants to crush British trade
and everything else that. is British, is
equally vociferous for the annexation of
Cuba. The mass of the Republicans are of
the same mind. Hence the great noise
about the iusult to the United States flag.
Lobsters Get Their Liberty.
A despatch from Boston says :—Three
thousand confiscated "short "lobsters were
dumped into the Charles River near its
mouth the other morning. They had been
shipped from Canada, and were consigned
to a local fish commission dealer, although
their ultimata destination was New York.
The seizure will bring to an abrupt ter-
mination an illicit trade that for some time
past has been plied between New York and
the British provinces. The man who
handled the lobsters in transit from the
steamer to the railroad station is liable to a
fine of $15,000.
