In 1S3S Commodore Klllott ordered a figure of General Jackson to he carved to take the place of a billet head which the United States frigate Constitution had carried through the war of 1812. It was placed on the bow of tho frigate in .Tune, 1831, when she left the dry dock In Clmrlcstown nnvy yard. The excitement among the political enemies of Jackson in Boston was Intense. A meeting was called In Fnucull hall which, however, did not take place and anonymous letter writers threaten ed tho life of tho commodore unless the statue was removed. On the night of the M of July, 1831, in tho midst of a terrific thunderstorm. Samuel l Dew ey, a young man of twenty-eight, rowed out to tho vessel and managed to saw off the head of the statue and carry it w.:y. The head was replaced a month later In New York, and the figure re mained there until 1874. It now occu pies a place in tho grounds of tho Naval uchool at Annapolis. SwpIIIiik Her Income. A good story Is told of a man who one day told his wife that he wou'd give her all the silver pieces she found in his plirso or pockets which were coined the year she was born. As a result the lady In due course of time had quite an amount of silver on hand so much, In fact, that she went to tho bank and dc- ited It In her name. Then, speaking to the cashier, the lady said; "My husband tells me you nro going to pay him some money to day Vi'Ul you please pay him In this Bihcr I have Just deposited? I should be to much obliged to you If you would." Of course the cashier quickly replied that he would be hnppy to please her. As a result the lady has still more birthday money. London Answers. Hi-coKitlzctl the -Smell. The sexton of an Episcopal church in Hoston has many stories to tell of the remarks and comments made by vis itors. Ono Christmas when the church was beautifully decorated with cedars and lire an old lady walked up tho aisle to the chancel and stood snltllng the air after every one else had left the church. "Don't it smell solemn?" she said at last to the sexton he she turned away with evident reluctance. "I don't know as I ever realized Just what tho 'odor of tanctity meant before today. Wo don't hae any such trimmings In the churih I attend up in tho country." Youth's Companion. lluiiuin Cnlemlur. In Slum every woman is it wnlking calendar.

Tho Hosporus furnlshcB a grout variety of excellent fish, among them the red mullet, oysters and mufrsela, but the Turks have no Idea of the choice of cuts and simply ask for so many okas, caring nothing ho that they get meaty pieces with few bones. Corned beef, roast beef, steak these nro unknown. Mutton, beef, a little veal, fowls and game lire eaten. Pork Is "the unutterable llesh." Breakfast with the Turks of all cla&scs consists of a cup of coffee and bread. A piece of cheese rolled Into the fat pancake Is eaten by the laborers.

With all llsh, lobsters and many meats a wort of salad dressing Is served made of garlic, oil, breadcrumbs aud vinegar, all bruised to a cream, with caviare or cucumber. Mussels are much larger than In this country. They are washed, steamed until they open, then tilled with lice, chopped onion and pep per and butter, packed closely In a ves sel aud baked an hour. Turks make few soups, as they prefer solid food, but sardines, anchovies and salted olives or pistachio nuts are eaten before meals as appetjzer.s. Of vegeta bles, which enter largely into their diet, tho favorite Is the tomato, and scnrroly any dish is considered coin plots without It, though they never eat this vegetable raw. To preserve toma toes for winter use they boll them un til tho skins are loose, then pass them through colanders, after which the throw salt into the pulp. This causca It to settle, mid the water is poured off while the residue Is put into thin bags and hung in the shade. The next day It is spread on Hat surfaces to dry.

To make it, cut Kilts in the sides, of the eggplant and in sert a forcemeat of onion and mlueed chicken In the cavities. Tie strips of cloth aroundmd fry thoroughly in boil ing fat. Another way is to substitute eggplant for potato hi a stew. Toma toes Mioultl also be added. Moussaka, another and better form, calls for oue largo eggplant, sliced rath er thick, without peeling. Have a quart of tomatoes freshly peeled or canned and ono pound of niluced beef. Fry the beef until It separates, set aside while the eggplant la being fried, then put alternate layers of meat, egg plant and tomatoi In a deep dish; season mid bake In a slow oven one hour.

Among the curious things discovered by the students of plant life Is the fact that a bud taken from one tree nnd gruftrd 011 another carries the age of the original tree with It. It has al ways been believed tlint the bud so transferred began a wholly new life, but this new theory It may, after all, be more theory than fact as yet shows the matter In an entirely different light. Tor example, If a bud bo taken from a tree lhat Is twenty-live years old with a natural life of fifty years and grafted on r.Molher tree it will not live as loug as lis parent tree is entitled to live, the full fifty years, but only for tho period of life then left to the tree, twenty-five years.

AIwujn AVlilliiK to Stniiil by n Cont rnde In Tronhle. While Monrow was low minded, Ig norant and brutal, he had one big qual ity that in some measure redeemed him In the eyes of the men who fol lowed tho rough life of tho range. He would not desert a comrade In time of trouble, wiys the World's Work. Down In El Paso in the early parfof his ca reer before he had become bold onojigh to allow evidence of his misdeeds 10 S become apparent he was ostensibly running a ranch and struggling along with the rest of the pioneer cattlemen. A man in his employ was caught driv ing off n bunch of cattle from a neigh bor's herd. By some mischance tho fellow fell Into the haaJs of a newly elected sheriff and wns not hanged. He was duly arraigned and held under bond of $3,000. Monrow was present at the time nnd offered to go on his bond. The Justice would not accept Monrow. "Nothing but cash goes in this hero court," he said. Monrow rode away. Five days later he appeared, deposited the cash bond for his friend, furnished him with n horse, and together they headed to ward the south. Within an hour n band of cattlemen picked up the trail and followed It to Itlo Grande. Mon row had stolen an entlie herd, rushed It across to friends in Mexico and In that manner raised the security tho court demanded for his friend. Of course, the man never returned for trial, and Monrow began open opera tions shortly afterward. The Colt ami Itx Rider. Once upon a time a man tried to ride on tho back of a young colt, which ob jected very much to his doing so, nnd there was quite a struggle between the two, with plunging by the colt nnd clinging by the innn. Finally the colt threw the man over his head, depositing him on the ground without injury. But tho man, deter mined not to bo defeated, pursued the colt and, capturing him, proceeded to again mount, with some difficulty. There was another struggle, which elided as before with the man pros trate 011 tho ground but this time ho received severe Injuries. Moral. Some persons don't know when they are well off.
