Tyler and Buchanan.

In looking about for recruits to sustain
his administration, President TYLER came
in contact with Mr.. Buchanan, then a
Democratic Senator of considerable re.
pute. He was smooth, plausible man,
OF amiable department, with no sharp
edges about him, and who never did an
unkind thing from impulse, or without
hoping to gain by it. He treated the
President with courtesy and much appar-
ent frankness, spoke of the bank veto with
admiration, and trusted that the relations
of the Democratic party and the execu-
tive would soon become more close and
confidential. This was very well, and
promised better things in the future. But
Mr.. Tyler had taken the Presidential
fever, and his anxiety to build up a party
with reference to the succession was ur-
controllable. He commissioned reliable
friend to wait upon Mr.. Buchanan, and
sound him with view to ascertain what
there was to hope from him in the Senate,
and also in PENNSYLVANIA. Congress ad-
yourned before an opportunity occurred
for conference with Mr.. Buchanan. A
short time afterward Mr.. Tyler's emissary
fell in with the Senator in New York, and
being quite diligent in tho performance of
the duty with which he was charged, in
vited him to a dinner. Two trusted
friends Of the Administration were the
only other guests. Intent upon ap-
proaching Mr.. Buchanan under the most
favoring circumstances, the host made a
most bountiful provision of choice wines,
and the repast was sumptuous one. 1t
was jolly time, sure enough. Four
more honest drinkers never had their feet
under mahogany. There were no heel
taps, and no passing the bottle until the
glass was filed. Mr.. Buchanan took his
liquor like seasoned cask. The result
may be easily imagined. The Senator,
large man, of lymphatic temperament, in
the prime of life, remained perfectly cool
and selfpossessed, although taking wine
enough to lay Senator of these degen-
crate days under the table; pumped the
Presidents agent and his two associates
as dry as the remaining biscuit after
long voyage, without committing himself
on single point; and returned to Lam
caster fully apprised of Mr.. Tyler's
scheme, and laughing at the boys who
had undertaken to seduce him from his
allegiance to the Democratic party.-Har-

st. vitus' Dance.

THE Murembny Chronicle of 1893 relates
medieval legend to this effect-that in
the reign of the Emperor Henry the
Second, while priest was saying mass, on
Christmas eve, in the church Of st. Mag
nus, in Magdeburg, a company of young
people amused themselves with dancing
and singing in the churchyard. The
priest demonstrated, but they derided his
words. and refused to desist. Then he,
incensed at their conduct, prayed God
and st. Magnus to cause them to dance
and sing whole year, without rest; and
the prayer was granted. Neither rain nor
dew fell upon them; they did not eat or
rest, nor were their shoes or garments
worn out. Three of the company per-
ished in the time, one the daughter of a
priest; the others were released at the
end of the year and obtained forgiveness
before the altar, but, after sleeping three
whole nights, they also died. This same
story is told of other places and churches.

Milk Tree.

SUCH trees in various parts of the world
as yield a milky juice are among the
most serviceable to mankind. some of
them furnishing gutta-percha and India
rubber, while others supply liquid which
does not solidify, and may be used as a
nutritious article Of food. These are usu-
ally known as cow-trees; and one Of the
most valuable Is the Brosintuns gaLactc den
dron. This is found on the sea-coast of
Venezuela, in the form of a tree frequently
over one hundred feet In height. The
milk, which is obtained by making incis-
ions In the trunk, has a very agreeable
taste, resembling that of sweet cream, the
only unpleasant feature being that 1t Is
somewhat glutinous, although 1t is very
nourishing and wholesome. 1t is con-
sumed freely by. the people, and Is, indeed,
one of their most important resources.
In a pharmaceutical point of view the
Cltlsia gatactodendron of Venezuela and
of Western New Granada, is of great i'm
portance, from having the very singular
and valuable property Of being almost a
specific In dysentery. 1t contains resin
Gus and astringent principle and an aro-
matte tonic substance. 1t Is said that
wherever this tree occurs dysentery Is
considered of no moment, the milk being
procurable very readily, and used upon
the slightest occasion.
According to Mr.. r. B. White, out Of
numberless cases of severe dysentery oc-
curing i'm a party of five to seven hun
dred men engaged in constructing road
n very unhealthy climate in Western
New Grenada, near the Buenaventura, a
fatal case was never known to occur, the
administration of the milk, even at the
eleventh hour, curing cases that had been
considered almost hopeless.
The special advantage of this remedy Is
that the cure is radical, subsequent re-
lapse being very rare. This milk has
been kept year without its taste or med
ical properties being affected; and it Is
suggested that it be brought to Europe or
America, and tried in cases of cholera,
for which it wouldseem applicable.-Har-

Make a Map Of Your Farm.

SYSTEM is the soul of success. Order
is said to be heavens first law, but there
can be no order without system, and
so surely there can be no long-continued
success without system and order. The
first thing essential to the establishment
of any farm is, to lay it out in fields.
Upon this operation far more depends
than the great majority of farmers have
any idea. Aside from the looks of a farm
being spoiled by badly arranged fields, an
almost incredible increase of labor is en-
tailed upon the farmer and his hands by
fences wrongly placed. We know of no
better plan to secure convenient and
economical laying out ofa farm than to
make map of it, putting down every
natural feature in its proper place, and
then marking off the fields according to
some settled plan of rotation Of crops, and
laying down the road so as to occupy the
shortest possible route to and from the
fields. Nothing will so much conduce to
the adoption of system of working
the farm as well-prepared map, hung
where the farmer can see it every day.
1t will be sure to set him to thinking and
planning how best to pitch his crops, and
how to work to save work. And once the
farmer adopts system of farming, he
starts on the road to success. 1t matters
not that the system is not the best that
could be devised, SO dong as it is system
it is infinitely to be preferred to the hap
hazard practice of many farmers. We
therefore advise every reader who owns
farm to make at once, or have made, a
map of it and hang it up where he can
see it every day. And having made it,
study it Rural Sun.

Jute.

JUTE is sort of fiber hitherto imported
into this country and Europe from India.
The culture of the plant producing Il
promises to become an established indus
try In our more Southern States. The
experiments made, during the last few
years, in cultivating 1t, and reported to
the Department of Agriculture at WASH
ington, thus far indicate that both climate
and soil are well adapted to its growth.
The jute plant comes from the East
Indies, and is thus described in an English
journal. 1t grows with tall, coarse
stalk, in the best Indian fields, seldom
above fifteen feet high, and perhaps three
quarters of an inch In diameter. Some
varieties are branchless, the leaves being
set on long foot-stalks, while others put
out limbs somewhat abundantly. 1t has
a small yellow flower, and some varieties
yield their seed in long pod, while with
others the seed vessel is small ball or
button. The seed Is of but little or no
value, yielding too little oil to make it
worth while to crush, and it is not very
nutritious for stock. Use is made Of the
stalks, which, like long willow stems, are
made into baskets, or plated into various
kinds of wicker-work, or burnt into fine
charcoal for certain special purposes, as
the manufacture of gunpowder, or for
druggists use.
But the chief value of the crop Is for
the fiber which surrounds the stem, like
the fiber of the flax or of the hemp plant.
This, as is well known, is used for most of
the coarser kinds of woven fabric, such as
sacking, bagging, mats, etc. Some por-
ton of the better fiber Is also mixed with
cotton and wool, as In part substitute
for those more expensive materials. Some
time ago certain kinds of shawls were
imported into this country at prices con-
siderably lower than it was understood
they could be made for at home. The
difference was so great as to cause much
surprise, when close examination revealed
the fact that no inconsiderable proportion
of jute had been woven in with the wool.
Coarse as the material usually seems,
certain part of the fiber of some varieties
of jute is so soft and silky as even 10 be
used to adulterate silk, and in this Iorm,
also, it appears in our market. Inc Temp
tation to such uses is readily seen when It
| is remembered that jute is the cheapest OF
all fibers. 1t is said that 1t can be pio-
duced in India for one-fifth, or even one
eighth the cost of cotton and perhaps
there is no reason why the relative cost OF
production should not be very nearly the
same In this country. Sun.
