WEBSTER GAVE HIM THE APPLE.

Gov. Doty Planted the Seeds and from
Them Grew q Historic Tree.
There is an old apple tree back of
the old Doty homestead on Doty IS
lan'l, in Neenah, which has o history,
Gays the Milwaukee Sentinel. 1t Is a
tree which grew from apple seeds plant
ed by ex-Gov. James Duane Doty. Wnen
Mr.. Doty was first appointed territorial
judge of Wisconsin by President Fill
more, and was about to leave Washing
ton, the great Daniel Webster shook
hands with him and babe him good
by, at the same time handing him a
large red apple. Webster then split
the apple in two and he took one-half
ana Doty the other. The seeds from
Doty's half were brought to this place
and planted, and all there is left now
is an old, withered tree, almost ready
to fall
The Doty homestead across the river
still remains, and is in good state Of
preservation 1t is an old log house,
and before the new Roberts summer re-
sort was built it was used as sum-
mer hotel. An old registry which was
used in this hostelry is still preserved
by Mrs. Roberts, and on its title page
are the autographs of some of the
noted men of the country who used to
come here TO catch fish in Lake Winnie
bago. Among them were the names
of Gen. Philip II. Sheridan, Gen. Arson
Stager, Gen. w. T. Sherman, Walter q.
Gresham, William Pitt Kellogg, George

plated top OF the sleeves, and one back

hue, with mohair braid edged with
soutache braid for its scroll decoration.
The braid is used around the wrists
and in a deep point on each cuff, be-

And So the Little Girl Did Not Think She
Saw the Real Heaven.
She was such a wee mite of little
girl that it's a wonder she wasn't
crushed in the great crowd that
thronged one of the big Chestnut
street dry goods emporiums. But
she kept a tight clutch on a lady's
hand, says the Philadelphia Record,
and was happy in the delight of seeing
all the wonderful Christmas things.
Her companion was dressed in deep
mourning, having evidently lost a near
relative. At one end of the store was
apretty scene representing the fiightof
angels, the angels being wax figures
suspended in midair. The little girl
gazed in wonder at the sight, and her
big brown eyes opened to their fullest
extent. Some strange thought seemed
TO take possession of her childish mind,
and she scanned each angel face close
". Her little heart was evidently
troubled, and her lips quivered rs she
looked up into the lady's face and
asked: "Auntie, is that really Heaven
up there2" NO, darling. it's only
,nake-believe," softly replied the lady.
The little ones face frightened up, and
with beautiful smile and little
sigh she murmured: Il didn't think il
was real Heaven, because l don't sea
mamma there"

THE Chatting DISH.
1t Seems to Have a Lot of Uses In Thes
Later DAYS.

| It Seems to Have Int of Uses In These
Later Days.
| There is something attaching to the
| chafng dish that belongs to no other
household utensil. Every other imple-
ment of cookery or cleanliness has its
disagreeable side; the chafng dish has
nothing but charm.
In the first place, its economy is a
delight. 1t appears at first sight to be
an article of luxury, and has been so
esteemed in the past; for it is associ-
| ated in the minds of the last generation
with venison steaks and terrapins and
mushrooms and port wine sauces, and
| the dishes that epicures then declared
fit for the gods. But now we know
| it for what it is-the household
brownie, doing a good turn at every
hand. Far from being an accompani-
ment of extravaganza. it is one of the
best economizers that ever entered
family; for with a chaing dish and its
lamp there need not be a scrap of meat,
fake of fish, a crust of bread, wasted,
and the kitchen coal bill can in hot
weather be reduced to minimum, and
the kitchen tempers, too, while the
alcohol lamp used costs only a trifie
more than half dozen cents an hour,
and is never used by the hour anyway,
but only for much shorter spaces of
time. Moreover, IT is friend that puts
the best foot forward and helps one
over many domestic difficulty, assists
at the sealing of many friendship,
the healing of many a breach. 1t does
not confess improvidence when the un-
looked-for guest arrives, an empty
larder, poor service, an unskilled hand;
it takes the hits of cold roasts OF
steak, the cup of soup that CHANGED to
be left, the spoonful of tomato that
Bridget failed to throw away, or the
half dozen asparagus tips that escaped
the same fate, and turns out an entree
that has nothing to do with unpre-
meditated poverty, but seems rather
a pTemeditated prodigality. And when
it has all that is it's due on the score of
economy, what friend Of the servants
it is, letting cook or kitchen maid
take her ease, while it bubbles away
on table or sideboard Of the dining
room, saving them labor and nervous
expenditure, as the mistress makes
play of their work.
And what en- amount OF pleasure the
little utensn affordsl In households
where on Sundays the servants, or most
of them, are out, or where it has been
thought best to spare them, how the
chatting dish brightens up the Sunday
teal And ON week days, when coming
in late from. concert, or tbeater, or
opera, or an unsstisfying ball banquet,
or even on q late train, hungry as hunt
ers, what gayety, what merriment and
cheer, to sit round the table and see
something made out of nothing, or
dainties become daintier, as the case
may be. The rsmmaging of pantry and
refrigerator, the preparation Of the dish
in which all have hand, the laughing
at blunders, the ffattery Of success. the
delighted repast, and the sound sleep
that follows on the work of healthy
stomach, all make CHEEKY end to day
and heighten the after-effect of the
evenings entertainment. - Harper's
Bazar. !

man picked himself up out of the dust
he found that the engine had made
kindling wood of wagon to which
two horsrs had been attached. Their
driver had seen the headlight of the
engine and had jumped in time to save
himself, and the animals themselves
were cropping the dried grass along
the roadside, which showed that they
had not been greatly disturbed by the
accident
But the train, with nobody at the en-
gine's throttle, was plunging away
through the darkness, the passengers
asleep in their berths, utterly uncon-
scious that they were being drawn by
a wild locomotive.
The fireman, who had been left be-
hind, thought he would try to overtake
the flying train on foot. Then he
changed his mind and. jumping astride
one of the horses, he set out after the
runaway train. He knew it must stop
shortly, as it had to climb very steep
grade, and if the fire under the boilers
was not kept up the supply of steam
would not furnish sufficient pressure
to keep the wheels going around The
vagrant train did stop IL miles from
where the accident occurred. There
did not seem to be any reason for an
interruption of the journey just at that
point, and so the conductor and brake
man hurried ahead with their lanterns
to ask the engineer what had given

CREMATION IN PARIS.
fhe Number of Incinerations Is Growing
Steadily from Year to Year.

ctcaouy CHI 10
The advocates in this country of Gre
mating dead bodies will be somewhat
encouraged by the reports that come
from Paris of the number of incinera-
tons that took place there during the
first four months of 1895. says the New
tons that occur. either in accordance
with previous request of the person
whose body is disposed of or at the
instance of the representatives, in
creases every year with great regu-
larity, though not rapidly. According
to the statistics published by the pre-
feet of police, the number of crema-
tons that took place at the Pere la
Chaise cemetery from August, 1889, TO
the end of April, 1895, were as follows:
1889, 40; 1890. 12l; 1891, 1874; 1892,
159; 1893, 1S9; 1894, ZIG, and 1895 flour
montlis), IS.
The furnace would consequently
often be idle were it not for the remains
from the hospitals. which amount to
from 1000 to $500 bodies per annum-
The apparatus employed is that of
NM. Toisoul and Fradet and works by
means Of gas with a recuperator. In
Generations arc accomplished in an hour
or, at most, an hour and quarter, and
the cost of the combusible never ex-
ceeds three francs per operation.
Another apparatus, invented by NJ.
Fichet. has recently been inaugurated.
The difference between the two inven-
tons lies chiefly in the application OF
oxide of carbon. In the contrivance
devised by NJ. Fichet the body is con-
sumed by hot air alone and does not
come into contact with gases. Accord
ing to this method, incarceration taxes
place little more rapidly than in the
lToisoul furnace, but the expense is
greater by nearly quarter as much.
