the climate and partly due to the life

BLUNT ANDREW JACKSON.

soId Hiekory's" caustie Advice to
James Buchanan.
Stories of Andrew Jackson are likely
to be pointed aud to have a practical
application. as do the stories told of
Franklin. In Mr.. j. W. Forney's IAN,
ecdotes Of Public Men, there is given
story as 1t was told by James
Buchanan at his own table. Although
1t contained a reproof from the presi-
dent to one who was to succeed him.
it is said to have been a favorite story
at that board
Shortly after Mr.. Buchanan's return
from Russia in 1884. to the court of
which country he had been sent by
Jackson In 1882. and Immediately fol-
lowing his election TO the senate he
called upon "Old Hickory" with fair
English lady whom he desired to pre-
sent to the bead of the American ma
ton.
Leaving her in the reception room
downstairs, be assembled to the presi-
dents private quarters. where he
found General jackson unshayed, un-
kempt, In his dressing gown, with his
slippered feet on the fender. before
blazing wood fire, smoking corncob
pipe Of the old southern pattern.
He stated his object. and General
Jackson said that he would be very
glad to meet the lady whom Mr.
Buchanan desired to present.
Mr.. Buchanan was always Careful of
his personal appearance and In some
respects vas a sort of masculine Miss
Fribbe. addicted to spotless cravats
and huge collars. rather proud of
foot small for man of his large stat
ure and to the last of his life what the
ladies would call "a very good figure"
Having just returned from visit to
the fashionable circles of the cont
nent after years of thorough inter-
course with the etiquette of one Of the
stateliest courts In Europe. he was
somewhat shocked at the idea Of the
president meeting the eminent English
lady In such a guise and ventured to
ask If General Jackson did not intend
to change his attire Thereupon the

friend:
Buchanan. I want to give you 1T
tie piece of advice. which hope you
will remember. I knew a man once
who made a fortune by attending to
his own business. Tell the lady ! will
see her presently"
The man who became president tn
1857 was fond of saying that this re-
mark OF Andrew jackson Inundated
him more than any other rebuke b
had ever received
He walked downstairs to meet the
lady in his charge. and In a very short

Apple Cooking.

Some people know only two ways
Of preparing apples-to stew or bake
them. Try some Of these old ways Of
presenting ''the king Of fruits
For float apple make a nice apple
butter or PURGE from tart fruit, sweet
ened to taste and favored with the
grated rind of one lemon and CHINA
mon or nutmeg. Put the p'lree on
the ice to become very cold, then
beat the whites of two eggs to stiff
froth, adding this to the fruit, which
should now be in the serving dish.
When it comes to the table cover the
top with a cupful of rich cream.
To make fried apples wash and
wipe dry some tart cooking apples,
cut them in slices a quarter of an inch
thick and fry them in butter until
tender and brown. Dredge with pow
dered sugar and serve piping hot on
warm plates.
Caramel apples may be made as fol-
lows: Into skillet put one cupful OF
light brown sugar and one-half cupful
of hot water. Let boil for three or
four minutes, then drop in five nice
cooking apples which have been peel
ed, cored and halved. Let these stew
In the strip until they are tender and
fluffy, then drain them out into
glass dish. In another saucepan have
ready one tablespoonful Of butter
melted with one teaspoonful OF -four,
and over this pour one-half cupful OF
cream. When hot add to the boifiLg

utes, then pour over the apples and

LEND" is the true verb. while loan"

COTTONY MAPLE SCALE
Pulvinaria innumerabilis Rathvon :

tPulvinaria innumerabilis Rathvon }
During the past few years the Cot
tony Maple has killed many trees in
Indiana. 1t has not been confined
TO naples entirely, for trees of sev-
eral other genera have been attacked
and killed. Little or no attention
has been paid to it in spite of It's
deadly character.
Life History. After alternating
on the twigs of the trees al winter
the female lays large quantities of
eggs in May and June. 1t is at this
season that the scale is most conspic-
nous, clinging to the under side of
the twig and surrounded at one en-
with great masses of cottony padd-
ing, which is developed from the
body simultaneously with the eggs
This cottony substance is pers stent
on the branches through the summer
and until worn off by the wind and
rain.
The eggs hatch in a short time and
the young at once migrate to the
leaves where they attach themselves
in rows along the veins and begin
feeding. They grow rapidly and as
summer advances the males and fe-
males are differentiated. the males

incident OF this trait.

why they did not bring their prisoners

one Of them sheepishly replied:

1t was not the lads. however. who
always made the mistakes. One old
Boer. on viewing for the first time
company of highlanders in the dis

was a herd of ostriches. and he per-
suaded all the burghers in the trenches
near him that they were ostriches. and
