Winfleld Scott was a notable Agure in the Washington soclety of 80 years ago described by Mrs. Mari- on Gouverneur in her entertaining volume of reminiscences, “As I re- member.” The general was some} thing of an epicure. Mrs. Gouverneur recalls seeing him sit down with great satisfaction to a meal consisting prin- cipally of jowl. He .did the family marketing personally, and was dis- criminating in the selection of food. Terrapin, which he insisted upon pro- nouncing tarrapin, was his favorite dish, and he would order oysters by the barrel from Norfolk. On one oc- casion he attended a banquet where all the states of the Union were repre- sented by a dish in some way charac- teristic of each commonwealth. Penn- sylvania was represented by a bowl of saperkraut, and in speaking of the fact the next morning the general re- marked: “I partook of it with tears In my eyes.” ‘Unexplored Territory. More than one million square milea A the continent of Africa—an eleventh of its total area—still remains unex- plored. About three-fourths of the unknown country lies within the Des- ert o, Sabara, but there are also many fertile reglons that have never been visited by a FEuroepan. The largest stretch of unexplored country near the sea coast is in Liberia, about 20,000 square miles, all within 200 miles of the sea. The basin of the upper Nile and the adjoining re glons of the Congo basin, Morocco, parts of Abyssinia, Somaliland, Brit- ish Fast Africa and many other dis- tricts, have yet to be surveyed and mapped. Ample opportunities still awalt the ploneer and explorer in the lark continent. Only Passable. “Is the soll about this part of the country pretty good?” asked the summer boarder. “Well, it ain’t good enough to raise & mortgage on,” replied the farmer, as he opened a case of canned corn. ~—Judge. f MINNEAPOLIS LADY BADLY SCALDED WHILE COOKING. While preparing a dinner a young Minneapolis wife had the misfortune to scald her hand so badly that over half the skin came off. She was alone at ‘the time and rushed over to her neighbor’s” for help. This neighbor promptly applied Allen’s Ulcerine Salve and in ten days the hand was completely healed without a scar. “This salve is one of ‘the oldest rem- edies in America and since 1869 it has been known as the only salve powerful enough to cure chronic ul- cers and old sores of long standing. Because it is so powerful, it will heal burns and scalds without a scar in the bottom up and-= poisons. If applied on new cuts‘and sores it heals ip ome-third the time that common salves and liniments DREW A FUNNY LITTLE MAN Sagamore Signature to Indlan Deed Recorded In Maine—HIs 8igna- ture Was a Bew and Arrow. A funny little man, drawn all with black ink, his inch-high body standing club-footed and with arms like a scarecrow—this is the signature or “mark” to the first Indian deed re corded in the state of Maine. This deed conveyed land in South Berwick on the Piscataqua river, and was made in 1643. It is much briefer than pres- ent-day deeds, as will be seen: “Know all who these may con- sarne that Humphrey Chadbourne have bought of Mr." Roles the Saga- more of Newichawanuke Half a Mile of Ground which lieth betwixt the Little River & the Great River to be- gin at the Northern Side of ye old Ground & for the Conformity thereot the aforesd Sagamore Mr. Roles hath hereunto set his Hand May the 10th 1643. And the sd Mr. Roles doth ex- cept a Parcel of Ground called by the Name Comphegan wch he doth keep for himself.” The signatuse of ‘Samoset, he of “Welcome, Englishman,” fame, was a bow and arrow, as seen on the deed he made to John Brown of Pemoquid long before the deed of “Mr. Roles.” But most Indian signatures deeding land to white men were random touch- es of pen to paper, always, however, “in the presence of” white men as legal witnesses, The eastern colonies early forbade buying lands of Indians except with the permission and approval of the general court; yet they did not pro- nounce Indian deeds as such to be in- valid. But by an act of 1715, no one not in actual possession on July 31, 1720, could hold under an Indian deed in Maine thereafter. CHARACTER TOLD BY TONGUE Many Ways by Which That Organ Re- veals the True Disposition of _Its Owner. Germany has taken up the pastime of reading character and telling for- tunes by the tongue. A long tongue is said to denote openness of charac- ter; It suggests generosity and free- handedness. Its possessor makes friends and enemies easily, but does not save money. When the tongue is long and thick the openness degenerates into a ten- dency to gossip and scandal. The fu- ture of the owner is beset with trou- bles of his own making. It also in- dicates flightiness and inconstancy. Short tongues indicate secretive- ness and dissimulation. Their owners make good detectives and attorneys. The owner may acquire some money by economy and guile, but has not largeness of spirit to make a great fortune. Very thin pointed tongues are found in different people who do not succeed in life. Short and broad ones accompany craft and falsehood, the person who has such a tongue is compelled by it to decelve and betray, whatever ef- fort he may make to keep straight. The vibrant, quivering tongue de- notes the artistic temperament. Bril- liant carmine hue is a sign of long life, pale pink tongue denotes both weakness of character and delicacy of constitution. Canned Whole Hams. Among the methods of sending cured hams into the market, that of canning the whole ham has been in- troduced by an innovating German meat packer. This was several years ago, and the new idea seems to have taken firm root in that country. The canning process, as applied to whole hams, is comparative simple, says Pure Products. After being salt- ed, smoked and otherwise cured in the usual manner, the hams are placed in a can of suitable size and shape. It is then weighed and the weight marked on the outside. The space left in the can may be filled either with clean water or the ham may first be boiled and the broth, af- ter the removal of the fat, may be placed with it in the can. The can is then closed and the contents steri- lized. The popularity of canned whole ham may be inferred from the num- ber of patents which have been issued to various inventors, who have cow ered every possible form of can for this purpose. Turkish Island Rebels. The Turkish island of Nicaria In the Aegean sea has proclaimed its independence. The inhabitants, who number about 13,000, seized and im- prisoned the Turkish officials. The island of Nicaria, which has an area of about 50 square miles, is famous in mythology for the death of Icarus, whose waxen wings melted when he was flying. At the present day it is occupied almost by charcoal burners of Greek nationality. The principal town is Mesaria, which con- sists of a group of about 200 houses. The - islanders have hitherto pald an annual tribute to the Pasha of Rhodes. = Vindlcate the Divining Rod. Official experiments made in Ger man South Afriea with the divining rod as a means of detecting hidden water seem to vindicate the efficiency of the witch hazel stick. About 800 trials were made and the rod was successful in 80 per cent. of them. It has also been made use of in Han- over with some success in the loca- tlon of veins of the salts of potash. These results have attracted so much attention that the French minister of agriculture has appointed a committee to make similar investigationa. Would Open Up Argentina.
