LAFAYETTE'S FAMOUS VISIT,
There Was Great Excitement Over His
Trip to the United States.

There Was Great Excitement Over His
Trip to the United States.
Jean Fraley Hallowell, who writes
in The Ladies' Home Journal of when
Lafayette Rode Into Philadelphia, F."
says that sit is difficult to understand
at this late day what a furore of ex-
element passed over this country when
Lafayette arrived once more in Amer
lea. The visit is a historic event to be
remembered while memory epdures.
During President Monroe's second ad-
ministration the United States extended
its invitation to Lafayette. He arrived
at Staten Island IN Aug. 15 Sunday,
1894, accompanied by his son, George
Washington Lafayette, and also by his
son-in-law. A formal reception took
place on the following day, the first
fruits of the most abundant harvest of
welcome which Lafayette was to receive
during his year of travel through the
United States.
Lafayette was 67 years old when he
visited America as the nations guest
and carried his years lightly. His head

a high forehead, long, aquiline nose
and a rather thin face. His hair was
sandy and quite plentiful. His eyes
were dark gray, restless and twinkling,
his eyebrows light in color, but heavily
marked. His mouth was firm. and his
lips smiled courteously at the holiday
crowd assembled to do him honor. The
general was not very tall, but well
made. His face was distinctly pleasant,
and its expression was an odd mixture
of shrewdness, decision and gay good
humor. His costume was a swallow
tailed coat and trousers of dark brown,
with a great display of white waistcoat
and neckcloth. A bunch of seals hung
from a broad black ribbon at his waist,
Over his shoulders hung a cloth riding
cloak, greenish blue in color and lined
with red

Missionary With Onion Sauce.

A missionary about to be put to death
by a savage king, whom he had vainly
attempted to convert, was greatly as
tonished to find that the king had sud-
denly resolved to pardon him. The ONLY
stipulation his majesty made was that
he should mount his horse and carry a
small sealed packet and a letter to an
other king some distance away.
He started off in high glee, and on
his way he me with a detachment of
English sailors, sent to his assistance.
They wanted him to go on board their
ship, but he declined, being DESTROYS of
fulfilling his mission. But they would
not accept this answer, and while the
discussion was proceeding an officer ex-
arnined the packet and the letter.
In the former he found a number of
pungent little onions, while the latter
contained the simple but significant
words in native hieroglyphics:
HE will be delicious with these. p

Bric-a-brac Bargains Eagerly Sought nj

There is a graceful custom among
foreign diplomats at the capital that
we may as well trench upon. 1 refer to
the auction sale which frequently be-
falls on the occasion of the recall of one
OF alien ambassadors or ministers,

ton sales, Our own t~radespeople must,
however, pay the fiddler in each notable
instance.
At these sales snobdom turns stoutly
out. The bidding is hot and fast and
high. There is nothing so lusted for by
a certain sort Of American, cringingly
numerous hereabout, as Q wine which
has been justified by an ambassadors
taste, Or a piece of furniture or bric-a-
brac which has been soiled by noble and
titled contact. And, therefore, these le-
cation auctions furnish the most heated
bid combats. And many a fool is 1eeced.
1t is also to be remarked that these
sales string out in endless fashion, day
following day, as fools flock to be bun
koed. The stock, whether of wine or
furniture or cast off noble garments,
never runs low. The Widows store of
oil showed no better staying powers.
As long as custom hangs about the
chanters shout, the red flag floats and
the stock of goods to be disposed Of
flows by with current undated.
For, mark you, rather than disap-
point or send any full hearted alien
chaser away from this sale with aching
heart and empty hands the a~uctioneer
each night moves in a new stock to re-
place the disappearance Of the day be-
fore. Each morning the legation rooms
are as unstripped, the cabinets as full
Of ~bric-a-brao, the bins as replete with
rare old wines as at the beginning.
Thus it runs forward until no more
sheep appear to be shorn and even the
toadies have enough. Then the flag
comes down and the legation sale is at
an end.-New York Journal.

YOUTHLAND.
BY ABBIB ELIZABETH SNOW

through the mystical realm OF Youthlauo
Ihe oreamers, wandering, go;
FAIR are the skies above them,
Fafrer the earth below.
Gay is the summer sunlight
Flashing from leaf and rilI,
Is over them still.
oh! Wide is that land and joyous;
What wealth of glorious bloom
Brightens its every vista.
Scatters each hin of gloom.
Music, and joy and beauty,
Hope that can feel no chill;
For the beautiful glamor of Y%outhland
Is over it still.
Out from the wonderful country
Went never a mortal yet
But bore in his heart the sadness
Of a mournful sweet regret.
Well if its dreams go with him,
ending his heart and will,
And the beautiful glamor OF Youthland
ic over him still.
Such are the friends never failing,
The lovers hat never grow old,
Tho darkly the clouds may gather.
And the day grow late and cold.
Near to the heavenly country,
Their eyes with radiance fill,
And the beautiful glamor of %Youthland
Is over them still.

in which are coils OF steam pipes.
Three feet of water is poured in, the
tanks are Theoretically sealed, and steam
is turned intosthe pipes. The water is
kept boiling six hours, and the steam,
rising, passes into a pipe which runs in
the form of worm into a barrel of cold
water constantly renewed. The steam
is condensed in the worm, and the oil
drips from the end of the pipe into a
pail. 1t was formerly clarified from a
dull brown to a light green after this
process. Now this is done by spreading
a heavy wooden blanket over the birch
wood inside the tank, and the oil drips
out pure and ready for market.-Chi-

Connecticut farmers have found a
comfortable side profit in gathering the
twigs, branches and saplings of black
birch for the birch oil distilleries. By
protecting the young growth crops are
quickly raised. The birch brush has
brought from 81. 80 to $s a ton. The
birch oil hassold at S. to So a pound,
bpt is now less. One tonsof birch yields
four pounds of oil. Farmers can make the
oil themselves, The distillery may be
any rough building, and the machinery
is inexpensive. The birch twigs, not
over two inches in diameter, are cut in
lengths of five inches and thrown into
water tight tanks with copper bottoms,

BILE to examine into the matter The
average run of fertilizers used on
tomatoes contains more nitrogen
than either potash or phosphoric
acid. The consequence is a plant of
a succulent, soft nature, an easy prey
to all diseases. A plant again that is
fertilized with twice as much phos-
phOric acid as nitrogen, and half as
much again of potash as of phos-
phoric acid, is a thrifty plant, able to
combat all diseases, and gives far SUI
perior fruit both in appearance and
quality. Appearance goes long way
in selling tomatoes, but quality goes
still further and plenty of potash in
our fertilizers insures both. The days
of hap-hazard work in this line are
gone forever, and the successful
grower has got to know everything
pertaining to his crop. This can best
be done by consulting the analysis
tables of the constituent parts of the
crop in consideration, and then work
accordingly If he does this and at
the same time studies thoroughly the
nature of his soil, he may reasonably
expect to be well repaid for his time
and outlay in other ways. I would
have liked to have said something on
the further care of this very import
ant crop, but space forbids just now.

,ditor Florida Agriculturist:

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
[ notice in the Philadelphia Press
that California has appointed a com
mittee to urge upon congress the
necessity of imposing tariff upon
all foreign oranges. What's Florida
doing? Better sound the key note
in your paper. A tariff on oranges
is just what the country needs.
Then there is another matter that
requires attention, and it's impor-
tance demands it.
A few days ago [ went to fruit
stand in Easton, Pa, to buy some
fruit. Jolingly [ asked the dealer
for Florida oranges. He replied
81 have some pretty fair oranges.
Here is the box, you see they are
marked Florida oranges. They are
not Florida's, they are Jamaica or
anges." Yes, they were jamaica s
for [ we'll knew, so did the dealer,
that there was not a Florida orange
in town. There ought to be some
way to stop such rascals from such
nefarious conduct. 1t really brings
the Florida orange into bad repute.
The unthinking and unknowing are
thus deliberately cheated, and the
Florida oraisge put on a level with
common foreign fruit. This is only
a hint. T. C.. Prichard.
