Aaron Burr as a Borrower.
Boston Advertiser


 It was in the summer of 1912, when 8 member of the class of 1915 in Harvard College, on 8 visit to Boston of 8 Satur- day, that l was called upon by 8 NIT. Fessessenden and intTusfed with letter addressed to my father, reported to have been received from Aaron Burr, landed in Boston that morning after a four years' residence in Europe, which letter requiring an immediate answer dellv cred the same afternoon to my father at his country seat in Brookhne. My fath- CT, opening and handing it to me 10 read, seriously euiOined upon me upon no con sideration whatever to mention the re- ception of it to my elder brother or any one in the family or out of 1t. which have never done to the present d5y- sixty nine years-with one exception, hereafter recorded.
 The letter contained a request Of Aaron Burr for private interview, with loan of money on q pledge of some boxes Of books. My father's answer, which he likewise handed me 10 read, declined the interview, also the pledge of books, in- closing for him Sl00 in bills of the Mas sachusetts bank, which was all that was necessary to carry him to New York friends, expressing his surprise at the application to one known to have been the friend of Hamilton.
 Some years after arriving from Europe with nay wife, at her mothers on the Hudson, was told by some otficious friend that Mr. Davis friend of Aaron Burr. had spoken disparaginely of my father for not allowing Burr an inter view. Burr probably never mentioning any pecCniary assistance. l gave no credit 10 this report, and never heard of it again. X short time alter returning to Boston 1 communicated to a highly esteemed and respected fr4end. the late President Josiah Quincy, the above incl dent of my life. Mr. Quincy advising no further notice of it, coming from such source.

Maj. Benvaurd left the city last even ing for Memphis, and just before his departure Dem0crdt reporter had an interview with him which elieited the startling piece of information that the Mississippi river was rapidly and cer- tainly cutting for itself a new channel which would leave New Orleans high and dry.
 After stating he had dispatched tug boats to Red river, and that he had no doubt of his ability to easily keep the channel clear, Mai Benyaurd said that while at the mouth of Red river the other day he made observations which satisfied him that the Mississippi was cutting for itself a channel to the gulf through the Atchafalaya river, which would, in no great time, become its out let, and New Orleans would be left in a shallow stream.
 The major said that little less than a year ago, when the gauge read nineteen feet, he had made soundings at the mouth of Red river, and found bar, and on his visit there a few days ago, he again made soundings, and with the gauge reading eight and half feet, he Hound sixteen feet of water where the bar had been, and various depths, but none less than sixteen feet, in the chan mel of Red river clear to the Atchafalaya, between seven and eigth miles from the mouth of the Red.
 Maj. Benyaurd considered the situa- ton serious and in need of immediate attention.
 With reference to Delta Point, Major Benyaurd said that the work was still solid, and showed no signs of weakness.

Bananas and Planters.
New Orleans Democrat.

A pound of bananas contains more nutriment than three pounds ofmest or as many pounds of potatoes, while as food it is in every sense of the word far su- periOr to the best wheaten bread. A. though 1t grows spontaneously through out the tropics, when cultivated its yield IS prodigious, for an acre of ground planted with bananas will return, accord ing to Humboldt, as much food material as thirty-three acres of wheat or over a hundred acres of potatoes. The banana, then, is the bread of millions who could not well subsist without 1t. In Brazil it is the principal food of the laboring classes, while 1t is no less priZed in the island of Cuba. Indeed. in the latter country the sugar planters grow orchards Of 1t expressly for the consumption of their slaves. Every day each hand re- ceiyes his ration oi salt fish or dried beet, as the case may be. and four bananas and two plantains. The banana--it should be called plantain, for until lately there was no such word as bananas divided into several varieties, all oi which are used for food. The plaiino auZaditO is a small delicate fIuit, neith- CT longer nor stouteT than a lady's fore finger. It is the most delicious and prlzed ofall the varieties of the plantain. Fl pl4tino cuineo, called by us the ban ana, is probably more in demand than any other kind. IL is sub-divided into different varieties, the principal Of which are the yellow and purple bananas we see for sale in our market; but the latter is so little esteemed hy the natives of the tropics that il is seldom eaten by them. Fl platino-known to us simply the plsn- lain-is also sub-divided into varieties which are known by their savor and their size. The kind that reaches our
 market is almost ten inches long. yet on the isthmus oi Darien there are plantains that grow from eighteen to twenty.two inches. They are never eaten raw, but ars either boiled or roasted or are pre- pared as preserves. As our beloved southland becomes more densely popu- lated the problem of "how the people are tO le fed" will gradually assume more serious proportions. Meat is be- coming dearer and dearer. nor is it at all improbable that the time is not very far distant when it will not be as often on the tables of our poor as it is to-day.

like it. Most children are astir pretty early in the morning. Artifcially, chii- dren are pretty much anything one per- mits them to be, and habits are sucked in about as unconciously as air is breathed. It is sort of recognition of this fact which l suspect induces fathers and mothers to insist upon a prompt appear ance at the breakfast table, while a care less habit of neglecting known physio- logical lawE on their part permits the child to waste far more nervous energy in the day than the nights sleep, all too short, has made up to him Therefore the child is peevish, ill-tempered and all but unbearable. Do pursue method with children by all means The quiet, well regulated inhabitants are far moie effective in doing the work of the world than the anomalous brilliant characters who sometimes do good in spite of them selves, as it were, and whose eccentrici ties gan oftentimes be traced to some peculiar bias in their early training: but let the method have a reasonable basis continuous nagging for trifiing faults is ruinous to child's disposition; and in this particular matter of getting child up to breakfast, if the rule were to be understood as "early to bed, early to rise" an occasional lapse could be tolerated and met with but a gentle re- bnke

HoU f. Cook a Ha.band.

The first thing to do is 10 catch him.
 Many a good husband is spoiled in the cooking. Some women keep them in hot water, while others freeze them with .conjugsl eoldness; some smother them with contention, and still others keep them in pickle all their lives. These women serve them with tongue sauce. Now, it is not to be supposed that hus- bands will be tender and good if treated in this way; but they are, on the con- trary, very delicious when managed as follows: Get large jar, called the jar of earefullness, which all good housewives have on hand; place your husband in it and place him near the fire of conjugal love; let the fire be pretty hot, especially let it be clear; above all, let the heat be constant; cover him over with the spice of pleasantly, and if you add kisses and other confections. let them be accom- panied with sufficient portion of secrecy, mixed with prudence and moderation.

MANY persons are puzzled to under stand what is meaut by the terms -four penny" six-penny," and "ten-penny," as applied to nails. The Sais1afifie ABasriedn explains this by saying that 'four-penny means four pounds to the thousand nails, or "six-penny" six pounds to the thous- and, and So on. It is an old English term, and meant at first "ten-pOund' nails (the thousand being understood, but the old English clipped it to ten pun" and from that it degenerated until penny" was substituted for pounds" !" When 1000 nails weigh less than one pound they are called tacks, brads, etc, and are reckoned by ounces.

Method with Children.
The Hoasekeeper.

Growing children require much sleep; and to rouse any child in the morning who has been up late the night before earlier than he would naturally have awakened is cruel. Yet this is often done because the breakfast hour is seven o'clock possibly, aud every child is wanted in it's place. The remedy lies in getting the child quietly into bed asleep at an early hour in the evening. Natnr- ally. children do awaken quite early in the morning. An infant is often stirring soon affer daybFake, and len to sleep when sleepy and awaken when feeling
