The Gardeners Monthly gives in sub
stance the following good practical direc-
tions for pruning ornamental shrubs on
the approach of spring. Indiscriminate
cutting back will not answer the desired
purpose. Distinction mus. be made be-
tween slow and vigorous growers, and be-
tween those which bear flowers on old
wood and those which flower on new
growth. Such as grow too strong to flow-
er well should be lightly pruned, and in
the same individual the weakest shoots
should be cut in more severely than the
stronger ones. Lilacs and Philadelphus
bear flowers on the wood of last year,
and to prune them much now destroys
the flow ers, while the altheas and others
which flower on the young wood cannot
be too severely cut in.

Mr.. M'Guire's Distr IA.

When the president was in St. Aug,s-
tine recently, he visited the old fort
San Juan de Pinos, it was called when
first named, afterwards changed to San
Marco, and later, when it came into
possession of the United States, still |
again changed to Fort Marion. It is in
charge ofSergt. Mcclure. 1t was late in
the afternoon, and sometime after tho
president had gone away, that som Q
newspaper correspondents heard the
old sergeant repea. his story. He had
made his parting speech. an had wound
It up by his weli-known allusion to st.
Augustine ~ "the ouldest to wn in the
country, and only one that is finished }"
when one of the party asked:
"How do you like the PRESIDENT"
II haven't seen him yit," he replied,
as he stroked bis whiskers.
"Why, he was here to-day and you
showed him through the fort"
The sergeant looked down at tho
crumbled coqufna floor for moment,
then looked up with startled express
sion, and rubbed his chin with his hand.
The presidents appearance was de-
scribed. The sergeant Immediately rec
ognized it's likeness to his visitor. His
hand went to his chin despairing look

A Good Deal of Romance.

Here is material for dime novel of
three volumes. The story is from q
Eureka New paper. "For some years
there has been an Indian called Tvbo
Frank ranging about this section of the
country. He was looked upon as ter
ror among his people and three years
ago killed one of his tribe. Ho also had a
longing for the horses of white men.
The Indians being greatly annoyed by
Frank, determined to get rid of him,
and three weeks ago held council on
Ruby Hill to devise means for that end.
Four braves we're appointed execu-
TONERS. They invited Frank to 90 on
hunt with them fourteen miles from
Eureka. While sitting around camp
fire one of the braves caught Frank BY
the hair and pulled him to the ground,
while another brave with a large knife
jumped upon the victim and cut his
head off. The body and head were
thrown on the fire and burned. The
braves then made their way to Joe ALI
sons ranch. where they went through
the process of washing the blood from
their hands. The father and squaw of
Frank were met at the ranch, but they
were unmoved by the particulars of the
tragedy"

The Famous Daniel Boone.

Apropos of Daniel Boone, a Kentucky
correspondent writes: "In my boyhood
squire Boone, a brother of Daniel Boone,
resided on the Indiana shore of the Ohio
i:iver, eight or ten miles below the
mouth of Salt River and about twenty
miles below where my father then lived,
and where 1 have resided for the last
seventy EIGHT years. Now, on one occa-
sion I recollect Squire Boone spent the
night at my fathers house, recountine
:heir early Indian scrapes, and Squire
Boone made the following statement: He
1aid that on one of his brother Daniels
VISITS TO KentuckY-l think the second
he and his companions camped for some
time on Licking River, near what is now
known as the Blue Lick Springs, and ore
morning Daniel Boone went out hunting,
but did not return. and after this the re-
mainder of the party returned to North
Carolina and reported to his family that
Daniel had been killed by the Indians
Then, supposing that her husband was
dead Mrs. Boone married his brother
But 1t happened that the old pioneer
was not killed, but captured by the saw
ages and taken to their towns, from
whence he finally made his escape, and
on reaching his home found his wife had
another husband and child, and this,
presume, is the correct version of the
story. On his return home Mrs. Boone
returned to her first husband, and lived
with him until her death.

Her daddy thus replies:

JACK,
From the Detroit Free Press.

JACK.
From the Detroit Free Press.
A year or more ago, as tho foreman O
ono OF the iron works of this city was
crossing the ystd one day. he espied a
little skip Of boy, seemingly not oyer
elevenyears old, seated ON q big fiy-whee
and chewing tho end Of bitter re-.
lection.
"Who are your"
"1'm jack"
"What are you doing here"
81 Resting"
"What do you w1antf"
"Ajob.'
Those were the questions and an
swers. The boy was pale and ragged,
but in his steel-blue eyes the foreman
saw game. And, too, the idea of waif
like him setting out to battle the world
touched tender chord in the heart of
the man who had boys of his own, and
he set Jack Ut work in the
yard.
No one thought the boy would stay
week, and no one cared to ask where
he came from or who he was. But he
tul. and, as the weeks went by, he gained
friends. One day he walked up to the
foreman and said:
Il want to learn the trade"
"You? Ha! ha! TIA! Why, Jack. You
are not big enough to handle q cold
chisel."
II can whip any prentice boy in
this shop!" was the earnest declar-
alton.
"Just hear himl Why, any of the lot
could turn you WRONG side outl When
you get big enough to whip tho
smallest one you come to me for q
job"
At noon that day Jack walked up to
the biggest apprentice boy in tho shop
and said:
"Come out DOORS"
"What do you want?"
I'm going to lick YOU"
"What for?"
"Because I want a chance to learn the
trade"
The two went out. and, in sight of
twenty witnesses, little Jack won d VIC
tory. At l o'clock he touched his CAP to
the foreman and:
1--WE licked yonr biggest prentice;
and want to 60 to wofkP
Ten minutes later he had become i
machinist's apprentice, and if you go in
there to-day, you will find him with
greasy haads, oily face and head full
of business ideas. Jack carries the KEYS
to the drawers where the steam gauges.
safety valves and otner trimmings ara
kept, and he knows the use of every
tool, the workings Of every piece of ma
chinery, and there is constant call for
Jack here and Jack there. Before he is
twenty he will be finished machinist,
and before he is twenty-five he will be
foreman of some great shop. He il
quiet, earnest, respectful and observing.
What he does his we'll done. What he
is told he never forgets.
And here IN Detroit are hundreds of
boys who complain that there is no
chance for them, even when backed by
money and influence. They wait and
wait and whine and complain, and leave
it for waits like little Jack to call up the
game in their souls, aand walked boldly
into great manufacturing works and

What Befell an Innocent CuratC.
A story is going the rounds ofthe Eng
fish press which involves very wicked
young woman and very innocent young
curate. She called upon him in sscetic
garb and closely yelled, and with tears,
bushes, and confusion confessed that
her GRAND was one which affected her
happiness and, she feared. her life. He
expressed q prudent sympathy and in.
vited her confidence. but after several
attempts to speak she could only sob IAN
entreaty that he would call at her house.
He went, and there she found courage
to avow 9 hopeless love, and begged that
she might carry to the grave which
,yawned before her the memory of one
kiss. The curate kissed her calmly and
went home. A ew days afterwarl he
received . communication from tho fair
creature inclosing an instantaneous pho

ing the coveted kiss, and begging to In
form him that there were eleven moro
copies which he might have for 500

set. If the oven is rightly heated it will
take but few minutes, and this way of

MEAT SrEw.-Cut the meat in slices:
pepper, salt and flour them, and lay
them in dish. Take few pickles of
any kind, or small quantity of picked
cabbage, and sprinkle over the meat.
Then take teacup half full of water;
add to it small quantity of vinegar be-

Of catsup, if approved of, and any gravy
that may be set by for use. Stir alto
gether, and pour it over the meat. Set
the meat before the fire with a tin be-
hind it, or in the oven of tho kitchen
range, as may be most convenient, for
about half an hour before dinner time.
Chickens that are old, tough, or lack.
ing in iuiciness, should be cut up and
boiled until nearly tender, and then
steWed down until but q small portion
Of the water remains at the bottom.
Then take out the pieces carefully and
arrange them on a warm platter and
place where they will keep warm. Pour
q pint of hot water in the remaining Juice,
let it boil and then stir in salt, bit Of
butter, and pepper to taste, and some Of

for a minute and turn into lovely bowl;
send with chicken and vegetables to the
table and serve at once. Absolutely de-
licious- especially the gravy.

A Season OF Rich C0lOrp.
From the Boston Advertiser.


The colors that are used this season
are typical Of the season ITSELF It would
seem as though all the cdlors Of simmer
had been taken to make our girls aid
women brightly and prettily attractive:
There is warmth and glow to everything;
the pinks are like those OF the old
fashioned gardens; and find their pro-
totypes in the cinnamon roses that grow
by the south door of many a New Eng
land farmhouse, and in the clover pinks
which make such spicy fragrance along
the garden paths. The blues are the
blues of the larkspur and flower de luce
and spikewort; the yellows are those Of
the buttercup and dandelion; of the
marigold and the sunflower. Even the
puppies have an-underelow of red, and
It is many a season since there have
been such rich colors, and people are
taking kindly to them again.
