President Tyler's Feasts.
From the Home Magazine.


President Tyler's dinners were. on large
scale. those Of wealthy Virginia planter,
and as the greater part of the provisions
came from his own plantation at Green
way Court, they tickled the palates of the
most exacting epicure. He employed a ne
gro cook from his old home, one who knew
how to do to a turn fried chicken and to
shave off the delicious pink slices of baked
ham. These hams were considered the
finest that ever graced a table, and the
Virginia porkers of today, famed the world
over, might well pride themselves on their
noble ancestry, that were as carefully pre-
pared for the table as a thoroughbred
horse for a race. For six months they were
let run wild in the oak woods to feed of
acorns, supplemented by little corn in
the morning and evening. When .hey were
In their second autumn they were turned
into the cornfield after the harvest, then
black-eyed peas. after which they were
fed on selected corn until shortly before
the holidays, when they were killed, then
smoked for several months by hickory
chips. finally rubbed down well with moist
brown sugar. Rivals Of these hams at the
Tyler table were the fine oysters from
around Hampton roads, choice game in
season and all the rich products of tide
water Virginia, the most abundant country
on the earth. Te wash down these solids
came liquids In the form Of Santa Cruz
rum. London brandy and Madeira, which,
as was the custom of the planters Of that
day, was bought in exchange for corn
shipped to Madeira. 1t came in pipes and
was bottled in the Virginia cellars, and
many bottles of 1t still existed during the
civil war, as several regiments Of soldiers
might testify to IL they cared. The Tylers
were hearty eaters, their breakfasts being
as substantial as many others dinners, and
1t was their delight to ask the passing Wis
ftor to these o'clock meals.

Captured Chinese Flag.

From the Wichita Eagle.
The recruiting office in this city has hung
on it's walls Chinese flag which was cap
tured from the Chinese forces by the 9th
Infantry of the United States, under COM
mand of Col. Liscum.
The flag is twelve feet long and is shaped
as an uneven triangle. The base. which was
fastened to the pole, is six feet wide A
nlany-colored dragon four feet long, with
fiery tongue, is striving to reach bloody
moon just out of his reach. The dragon is
in this position on the flag to show the
Chinese belief that the empire would pull
down that moon could it but reach it. Sew
eral bullet holes decorate the yellow por-
ton which surrounds the moon and the
dragon.
The finest of workmanship Is displayed on
the flag. The toes, eyes and the fiery moon
are carefully inlaid against the somber
background. The Chinese fiagmakers con-
slider a well-made flag an estimate Of their
love for the emperor.
The crimson moon and the fiery tongue do
not attract the attention of the observer as
does the blood which is spattered in many
places on the flag. The blood Is sure to re-
mind that war is not of the gentlest occu-
Pations.

More Girls Than Boys.

From the London Chronicle.
The rural village Of Toppesfield in North
Essex has become prominent on account of
a remarkable phenomenon in the births re-
corded there.
During the last decade the great prepon-
derance Of girls born in the parish over
boys has been noticed, and at the present
moment the scholars attending the village
school comprise ninety-three girls, but only
eleven boys. In consequence of this the
county education authority is contemplating
the substitution of a schoolmistress for the
present schoolmaster.
But among those belonging to the Place
the present state Of affairs has aroused con-
siderable concern. and the question is bein.,
asked where the farm laborers of the future
are to come from II matters do not change.
The medical officer for the district has been
consulted, but he can ascribe no cause for
the greater number of girls.
