Con. Morgan, of Illinois, who commanded
brigade in Davis's Division, was SO careless
in his appearance that stranger would never
have picked him for an officer of high rank.
One day raw recruit of his brigade who had
lost some books, asked a veteran where he
might be likely to find them. The veteran
said the only thief in the brigade was Jim
Morgan, who occupied tent near the blue
flag The recruit FASTENED to Morgan's tent,
showed his head in through the flaps, and
asked:
Does Jim Morgan live here?"
"My name is James Morgan" answered
the General
"Then want you to hand over those
books you stole from mel"

man."
"That's lie," cried the soldier. "The
boys say you are the only thief in camp.
Turn out them BOOKS, or I'll grind your car
cass into apple-sass!"
Gen. Morgan appreciated the joke, and
laughed heartily, but when the recruit began
pulling off his coat to make good his threats,
the officer informed him Of his relations to
the brigade.

March 8, 1881, at Lynn Common. Mass. and IS the
fifth son of the late Rev. Abraham ID. Merrill. q
minister of the NJ. Il. Church. well known In his
day As talented and leading preacher among his
colaborers in New England. and hopored with
election to two General Conferences; viz, Phila-
delphia. 1882. and Baltimore. 1910. The son had
limited schooling, and this. with three terms In a
seminary. completed his studies. In 1913 he met
with n serious accident which nearly cost him his
life, and as it was left him cripple. This mis-
fortune turned the whole course OF his life. With
no greater ambition than young, active physique
prompted, he expected life Of manual labor.
whereas he found that new and gentler energies
pointed out n life of comparative quiet and seciu-
sion. His pen Is responsible for quite number oil
poetic illusions, written and published before he
was drawn into the puzzle arena His prose and
verse appeared statedIy over the MONS of CoNMo-
DoRE and VICroR in Massachusetts and New
Hampshire papers. His first venture a tyro in
legitimate puzzle work was in X. o. CHEsTER's
Journal nine years ago. since which time he has
contributed largely of verse-6ats. double-word
enigmas being apparently his forte. Although
getting along in years aud infrm before the usual

NeW YORK C0nlmercidt AdrerttSer
England has been termed the iiterna-
tional highwayman. The title is not unde-
served. But while England may rob she at
least endeayors to atone for her brigandage
by civilizing those who come under her
sway. The same is true, neasurably, of
France and Germany. Not SO with Spain,
however. That power, in spite of loud pre-
tensions to Christianity, looks upon colonial
dependencies as only fit objects for plumber,
and when resistance is offered to her misrule
she adds slaughter and cruelty to rapine.
It is no wonder that the Cuban patriots re-
fuse to be satisfied with anything less than
absolute independence. They know that
there is no more hope of justice for Cuba at
the hands of her Spanish oppressor than
there was of mercy for ancient Peru at the
hands of PizarrO.

OUR RURAL TOPICS.
Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers

The use of growing plants in the decora-
tion of parlors and halls is becoming quite
universal, and the practice is one to be COM
mended, for il encourages the development
of taste for beauty in its natural forms,
and is therefore in the highest degree artistic.
Fine plants help to beautify room quite as
much as fine pictures and statuary. Their
grace of outline and rich color attract the
eye, and please the most careful observer as
few other things in room viii. Plants for
room decoration must have firm foliage and
be able to stand the effects of gas, dry air,
and the absence OF direct sunlight. Flower
ing plants of the ordinary class, and all
plants having foliage of a soft texture, soon
droop and sicken under these conditions,
and are therefore comparatively worthless
except for temporary use. Only those plants
having foliage of thick, firm texture are able
to withstand the facilitating effects Of use
in the parlor for any length Of time.

aud at once made rush for it. The monkey,
which was attired in jacket and hat. awaited
the onset in tranquility, so undisturbed that
the dog halted within few feet of it to
reconnoiter.
The animals took long stare at each
other, but the dog was evidently recovering
from his surprise, and was about to make a
spring for the intruder. when the monkey
raised his paw and saluted by lifting his
hat.
The effect was magical. The dogs head
and tail dropped. and he snesked off to the
house, refusing to leave il until his polite

FRIED APPLES.

Cut the apples into slices through tno ciosS
grain, leaving in the seeds and core. Dip IN
-four. sprinkle with sugar, and fry in hot fat.
Serve 10 q vegetable with beefsteak or pork.
although pork is usually better with apple
sauce.
PIcKLED APPLES.
Miss Louise Johnson, however. gives this
recipe. which will be worth trial, as her recipes
are always fine: Russell APPLES make the best
pickle. Take out the flower of the apple; stick
several cloves in each apple; make sirup
with the following proportions: To every quart
of vinegar take three pounds of sugar, the juice
and rind of one lemon, an ounce OF preserved
ginger and an ounce of mace. Boil the apples
in this strip until they are tender. 1t should
just cover them when put in the kettle and
should not boil hard. or it will spoil the shape
OF the apples"
BAKED APPLES
For invalids and dyspeptics. as we'll as for
people generally, baked apples arc considered a
great delicacy. Indeed. the od-fashioned
baked apples Of our grandmothers, is now a
fashionable dish, in good demand at our fine
restaurants and hotels. They are nice pre-
pared as follows: Core and pare sour apples
put them in shallow earthen dish. NIL the
cavities with sugar mixed with grated lemon
rind: add water to cover the bottom of the
dish. Bake in quick oven till soft, basting
often with strip.
COMPOTE OF APPLES.
Make strip with one cup of sugar, one cup
of water, and sqnare inch OF stick cinnamon.
Boil slowly for 10 minutes, skimming well.
Core and pare eight or ten tart apples; cook till
nearly done in the strip. Drain and cook them
few minutes in the oven. Boil the strip till
almost like jelly. Arrange the apples on a
dish for serving. Fill the core cavities with
jelly Pour the strip over them. Serve at the
table with whipped or plain cream. Delicious
and easy dessert.
