Taverlt< Recipes

A tiny bit of butter is often an i'm
provement to cake frostings, especially
coffee, chocolate, maple or caramel.
A slight sprinkling of orange juice
gives a delicate finishing touch to
light wheaton pancakes served with
butter and sugar. Lemon juice is oft
en- used in this way in European house

A fruit salad in which bananas are
used with marshallows, arranged in
circle upon dessert platter and serv-
ed with whipped cream, make another
nice dessert.
Slices of orange may be served with
afternoon tea instead of lemon. They
should be about the same size as slices
of lemon.

New Science of shoeooIey.

The very latest index finger point
ing out what sort of person our neigh
Dor is has just been pointed by Dr..
Garre of Basle, Switzerland, in his
new science. "Scarpology." "Scarpol-
ogy" is word derived from the Ital-
ian and Greek and signifies the sci
ence of shoes, in other words, Shoe
ology."
AS man of science, DR.. Garre
starts scientifically thus: "Scarpology
is the art of reading character or
weaknesses of men and women by
the way they use their shoes. The
eyes are the mirror of the soul, de-
clare the poets, but show me one Of
your shoes after two months wear,
and l will tell you your character"
According to DR.. Garre, the heel OF
the shoe worn evenly shows man
of energy, a good worker; and in a
woman, a good mother. If worn on
the outside only, the wearer is man
of initiative; If the outside tread is
excessive, 1t may perhaps denote ten
dency to trusting to chance. II this
mark of wear be on the inside, 1t de-
notes a weak or irresolute man, but a
sweet disposition in woman.

Described As Always Smoking, He
Told How, Though Lighting His
Cigar FREQUENTLY, the Number
He Consumed Was Small.

After. Judge Charles ]. Folger, while
secretary of the treasury, had been
nominated for governor OF New York,
in 1882. It was made apparent that by
reason OF certain factional quarrels
in the Republican party for which he
was not responsible. the DANCE was
grave that Grover Cleveland, then
mayor of Buffalo, would defeat him at
the November election. II was neces-
sary for those who were managing
the Republican campaign to call forth
thu utmost resources of the party, and
fof that reason they decided to urge
General Grant to preside at a great
campaign meeting which was to be
held at the Metropolitan opera house,
in New York city.
Gen. George H. Sharpe. who in the
Civil war had served upon the staff of
General Meade. where he had been
brought into close relations with Gen
eral Grant and who afterwards was
speaker of the assembly at Albany,
and Capt. Frederick C. Wagner, who
gained a great reputation in New
York at the time of the draft riots in
1868, were appointed a committee to
call upon General Grant, and ask him
to preside at the meeting. AS a re-
suit of that interview, these two Re-
publicans incidentally learned some
thing of which they before had had
General Grant full explanation as to
his smoking habits.
1t happened in this way: The COM
mittee said to General Grant that the
party would esteem it a great honor
If he would preside at the ratification
meeting at the Metropolitan opera
house. Thereupon, the general took
a cigar which had been lighted, but
had gone out, from his lips, lighted it.,
and said
1T would give me the greatest
pleasure to preside at this meeting,
but l have an imperative engagement
at Philadelphia with Mr.. Drexel. 1
cannot break it. l will, however, glad
ly write letter, telling of my earn
est hope of the election of Judge Fol-
ger as governor"
By this time the fire in General
Grants cigar had deadened, and he
again lighted 1t, and began little
chat with his friends.
At last one of the committee ven
tured to say: General, see you still
are fond of the cigar"
Taking the cigar from his lips, Gen
eral Grant pointed to It, Look at
that cigar" he said. you see, it's
burned away about an inch Now, l
lighted that cigar when l came to this
office little before ten o'clock this
morning. 1t is now little after
twelve. suppose it has gone out and
been relighted ten times. That one
cigar will last me until three o'clock.

Refused to Fight Mckinley

as ready to serve a Republican as
Democrat. Cummings had great ad-
miration for Major Mckinley, and in
his first two terms in congress had es-
tablished a warm friendship with him.
After Cummings denomination for
congress, he met two or three OF his
Republican friends, and they invited
him to take luncheon with them, for he
had long been very friendly with them.
After the luncheon was ended, the par
ty slowly strolled from the clubhouse.
when, all of a sudden man stopped
Cummings and endeavored to whisper
in his ear.
Talk out loud" said Cummings
Tell me what you have got to say
right here"
But it is about politics" said the
man, whom all recognized as a Demo
cratic politician, land these men are
Republicans"
That doesn't make any difference
Cummings replied. "They are friends
of mine. What is It you iwant?"
We'll, Amos, word has just been
received at headquarters that the man
ayers out in McKinley's district want
you to go out there and make several
speeches for the Democratic candidate
| for congress"
What! l go out into McKinley's dis
trict and stump against him? tell you
that man is one of the few Republican
members of congress who has every
Democratic member for friend. He
has never played false with the Demo
Gratis, or with anybody else"
Cummings voice was now at high
pitch. Its the biggest fool business
that | have known Democrats to do
since | knew anything about politics,
he cried, Indignantly. Here they
have gone to work in Ohio and banked
I'D a district for the purpose of killing
Mckinley, politically They are going
to defeat him, but I'll have no part tn
it. You go back to headquarters and
tell them that Cummings says that
they are going to defeat Mckinley for
congress, but in that defeat will come
his victory, for he will be surely elect
ed next year governor of Ohio, and
will as certainly be elected president
of the United States"
The amazed politician ventured mild
ly to suggest: Suppose they insist,
after | tell them what you have said,
on your going to Ohio and stumping
against Mckinley"
"If they do" shouted Cummings,
you can tell them for me that they
can all go to h. I'd rather be de-
feated for congress than take the
stump against William Mckinley in
that dirty game"
After Mckinley became president,
he was told of Cummings denuncia-
ton of the Ohio politics which was
meant to defeat Mckinley for con-
gress, and there was no member of the
Democratic party in congress more
cordially received at the White House
than Amos ]. Cummings.

to America he recounted the incident

Indignation of Amos J. Cummings Was
Aroused When He Was Asked to
Help Defeat His Friend
From ohio.

Early in 1890 the Democratic leg
islature OF Ohio, in redistricting the
state for the national house of repre-
sentatives, carved out very peculiar,
irregular and ragged district, so far as
boundaries were concerned, which was
to be the new district in which VIII
liam Mckinley was to be the Republ-
can candidate for congress. The accu-
sation was commonly made that the
district had been so bounded and de-
fined as to bring within it such a large
proportion of Democratic voters as
would make the defeat of Mckinley in
evitable. Whether that was the pur-
pose or not of those who redistricted
McKinley's home district, 1t was the
result, and for the first time William
Mckinley was defeated for reelection
to congress. That occurred in the fall
of 1890.
1t so happened that at this congress
sional election the late Amos J. Cum
mings was a candidate for reelection
as a Democrat from one of the New
York city districts. There was only
nominal Republican opposition to Cum
mings, since he had gained great popu-
larity with all his constituents, being

Famous Scotch Author Told Emerson
He Bought Steed With Money
From American Sales of
His Books.

In college days we were told that al
though many other English writer's
professed to regard the United States
either with condescension or with con-
tempt. at least so far as literature was
concerned, Thomas Carlyle was espe-
cially friendly to this country, and
numbered among the closest of his in
Inmates several Americans, principally
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
1t is a well known fact that Carlyle
was especially attracted to Emerson
because the Sage of Concord was the
first American to speak with approval,
even with enthusiasm, of the writings
OF CARLYLE. And when Emerson made
his first visit to England in 1888, he
called upon Carlyle and was most cor
daily received, the beginning OF per
sonal intimacy which was maintained
by correspondence for many years.
Shortly after he arrived in London
Emerson set out to call upon Carlyle
at his home in Cheyne Row, near the
Chelsea hospital, London. Just peiore
he reached the house, he saw morse
led up to the door, and the longIeggeu
and gaunt Scotchman descend lhe
steps mount the horse and ride away.
Emerson must have been somewhat as
tonished, since he had in all probaplh-
ty never dreamed of Carlyle as man
who took any exercise. AT all events
Emerson, calling again few hours
later. was fortunate in finding Cariyie
at home. and after little, ventured TO
speak to Carlyle about his horseback
ride. c,.,.
Did We take heed o me?' Carlyle
exclaimed. "Weel, / sometimes get
astride me horse and take canter'
and sometimes walk the city streets.
Did We hear how got me horse?
OF course, Emerson was Interested
saving that he would be pleased 10
learn the story.
"Ye can't imagine the name he mas

is Yankee and Yankee he is, Tor II

Oyster Tea.-To eight oysters,

Then strain through a fine sieve and
flavor with half saltspoonful of salt.

VermicelIi Toast.-Heat a half pint
of milk in a double boiler. Put one
tablespoonful of butter and one OF
flour in a saucepan and rub them to-
gether. Let this bubble gently over
the fire for two or three minutes.
Then add the hot milk, a little at a
time, making a smooth cream. In the
meantime. have two slices of bread

toast them to a golden brown. Soak
the toast in boiling milk, lay 1t on
small china platter or serving plate,
and pour the cream dressing over It.
ready and quickly press it through a
wire sieve over the cream toast. With
little care you can make a very at
tractive dish with the broken, crinkled
threads of yolk. Care should be taken
not to serve too ample a portion OF
dish of this sort. One small piece OF
toast daintily covered with the cream
and little egg yolk would sometimes
appeal to the patient where larger
portion might seem distasteful.
Chicken Panada. - This can be
made from the remains of roasted
fowl. Cut the chicken meat carefully
from the bones, making sure to avoid
gristle and bone. Chop one cupful OF
pieces of the chicken very fine. Boil
the bones and gristle of the chicken,
making a pint of broth. In the mean
time soak one-half cupful of bread
crumbs in enough milk to cover them.
Then press the crumbs through
