"Although 'Old Hickory' was a blunt man in all matters of business and reached his purposes by the straightest road." said an old newspaper man, "stiil he was courteous in an eminent degree and had a high respect for the forms of social intercourse. While president of the United States his reception of foreign ministers and eminent citizens was distinguished by courtly etiquette and noble bearing. It is related that on one occas'on a foreign minister just arrived had a day and au hour appointed by Mr. McLane. then secretary of state, to be presented to the president, and, misunderstanding the premier's French and perfectly at fault by the apparent simplicity of republican manners, the minister at the appointed time proceeded to the ?

"He says president. though, an' I s'pose he wishes to see the general." "Oui, oui," said the minster, bowing. Without further ceremony the gentleman was ushered into the green room, where the general sat. complacently smoking his corncob pipe, and on the instant he commenced a ceremonious harangue In French, of which "Old Hickory" did not understand one word. "What does the man want, Patrick?" asked the general, without concealing his surprise at what he had witnessed. "It's French that he's spakin' in. an' with your lave I'll sind for the cook to find out what the giutleman wants."

POULTRY POINTERS. _ Keep the turkey hens tame by feeding them close to the house. When the fowls have a free range, one cock to every fifteen or twenty hens is sufficient. The games have more meat for their size than any other fowl. They grow slowly, but are solid and firm. Cooping up the mother hen and allowing the chickens to run around is the safest and most economical plan. Wooden floors close to the ground absorb the damp from the earth, and the atmosphere of the house is always I moist Bone meal will greatly assist the growth and development of bone in chickens and in a great measure prevent leg weakness. The nests must be renewed occasionally and kept clean. Clean, dry straw is the best nestling material. Tobacco stems will help to keep away vermin.

Few who have not traveled in southern and central France know of her vast systems of canals and canalized rivers. Many persons spend months or years in Paris and kno nothing of the great basins in that city from which canals radiate, binding all parts of France to the great heart of the capital. These canals run into rivers connecting those of the water sheds north, south and west. Through many of these small streams?we at home would call them creeks?you will see little towboats pulfing, grunting and lifting up a heavy chain from the canalized river bed, winding it round a drum and thus towing long lines of barges with a most economic expenditure of power. ?Argonaut. A Fair Exchnnge. He was one of those irrepressible youngsters who are constantly brimming over with mischief. The loving, tender hearted mother wound up a serious talk by saying. "I love you even when you are uaughty, d arl i A dKf or two later this same smallboy received a spanking, and in a little while he climbed into his mother's arms, saying as he lovingly patted her face: "I lub you. mamma, so much, oven when you 'pank me."?Little Chronicle.
