Mr.. LINcoLN's HoNEsTY.-Th fol-
lowing story is told to show the rigid
honesty of President Lincoln in early
life: When he was Postmaster in a
small Illinois village word came that
the Postofiice agent would be along in a
day or two to collect the money due to
the Government. 1t wds about $40,
and one of Lincoln's friends, alarmed
lest the young Postmaster should be
embarrassed by the sudden demand for
so much money, offered to lend him
the sum. Mr.. Lincoln declined with
thanks the proffered kindness, and,
going to the upper shelf of a closet,
brought down bag containing the
amount in the very coins which had
come into his hands. He said that he
never allowed himself to use, even for
a day, money which was in his posses
sion belonging to other people.

of San Saba County, Tex, when, with
his license in his pocket. he arrived at
the house of his prospective father-in-

overhauled the fugitives and brought
back the lady, and the marriage took
place.

The lawsuit of the heirs Of Piux

mere claim to the valuable prop.

are administrators. They even
assert their right to the yearly
stipend of 3.6OO,OOO lire which
the Italian government, by the
provisions Of the guarantee law,
covenanted to pay to the Pope,
but which Plus TX steadily re
fused to handle. The law PROV
ded that the accumulated annual
sums, five years after the date OF
the payment, if not claimed by
th e Pope, should revert to the
Golfers of the State. The sum fOI
the first five years following the
PRONUNCIATION of the Guarantee
Law thus became null and void.
and if the Pope had repented OF
his obduracy at the close of his
life, he could only have claimed
the payment of the sum accumu
lated since the sixth year follow

ruler. This sum would have
amounted to about 100000

Snuff in the Senate.

On each side Of the Vice Presi.
dents seat in the United States
Senate are fastened two old snuff
boxes, which are kept filled by
the attendants. They arc the re.
suit of a custom inangnrated al
most at the foundation of the gov
ernment, when snuff:taking was
a universal habit. Thurman is
the only Senator who makes u
habit of using snuff, but some
times Senator will stop and
take an occasional pinch, while
the many visitors to the chamber
take a little out of curiosity. At
first the box was kept on the
Vice Presidents desk, but in
those days SO many of the Sena-
tors used the article, and so fire.
quently forgot to bring their
boxes with them. that 1t was re-
solved to place two public recep
tac!es for it, and in the annual
expenses of tho Senate is always
found the item of snuff. The
aged doorkeeper, Isaac Bassitt,
stated to your correspondent that
he had often seen Henry Clay
leave his place in the midst of a
speech, walk gravely to the box,
take a pinch and continue his re
marks. "Wheif | was a page.
nearly fifty years ago." said he
''many OF the Senators would
give ma a sign which Indicated
that they wanted snuff aud |
would carry the box to them.
Nearly all the Senators used snuff
in those. days. Henry Clay was
i'll the habit of giving me fifty
cents IA week TO keep his COX full
OF snuff, and | have never forgot
ten that when he left here for the
last time he owed me fifty cents
for this service. never brought
bill against the estate,' said
the old gentleman smiling, "antl

this time.'

MIR. Chandler TO bring the Michi-

pearance at Mr.. Conkiingss resi-

sized gentleman, modest in deport

After awhile Mr.. Chandler
adroi'ly began to talk about box

ger "the manly art of self DIES

and. as neither Of his visitors
would put Oh the gloves, he maui
ed bag OF sand which was sus
pended from the c-iliug. Finally,
the young stranger put on the
gloves Ill a verdant way, and the
senator from New York came
dancing toward him, looking
down with all air of patronizlng
contempt, as he struck from the
shoulder IL blow which was inten
ded to be a tloorer. But the blow
was parried, and another was
given in return. which knocked
ConkIing down, fiat. Springing
to his feet, he sought to retrieve

no longer restrain himself, but ex

CURE FOR uOUT.-Sev eral ar.
ticles aud letters have been prin>
ted in the German papers of late
lauding the efficacy of the sting
of the common bee as 4 cure for

of these communications, which
appeared only few days ago In
the Augsburg Evening Gazette !:

writer, "suffrring from a heavy
attack of gout, accompanied with
violent pains i'll my left foot, when

bees. l at once determined to
try the remedy, and soon contriv.

a captured bee could be applied
to the afflicted part. / then let
my foot he stung by three bees
in succession, each bee leaving
sting behind in my flesh. After
a few minutes these stings were
extracted. and when the pain
caused by them had subsidized, |
found that the gouty pain had
olso left. On the same day 1 left
my bed, and on the morrow was
able to walk about. For some
little time my loot was slightly
iufamed, and experienced some
burning sensation. but in four or
five days this left me, and I was
completely recovered"

A Crystalized Woman.

Another very remarkable in
stance. we are informed, says an
English paper, has just come to
light as to the preserving or petit
tying effects OF nitrate of soda. A
we'll known and Influential city
firm, who have very extensive
connectlons with South American
planters, miners. etc, have recent
" received from Peru curiosity
in The shape Of what may be term
ed a crys,allized female body,
which, as their correspondents ad
wise them, was some Short time
since discovered bya set OF miuers
at Plsague, in that country, COM
pIetely embedded in one of The
great nitrate OF soda deposits pc
culiar to the district. The body
is described as having the appear
ance OF ID petritied mummy, and
is stated to be i'll singular state
of --prestlvation. This curiosity
has already been seen bt several
of our best known naturalists and
scientific analysts, and it is believ
ed that tbo woman, who apparent
ly was OF middle age, must have
perisled through accident or de,
sign at a remote period of the
past, probably, AS some even go
SO far as to say, two or three
Thousand years ago. That her
death was violent there is little
room to doubt, inasmucll as when
found the body was in recllm~
bent position, partly Oh the side,
with chest slightly crushed. as if
through severe fall, the legs
drawn up, and the fingers and
toes contracted. The hair is in il
most perfect state, and maintains
its contact with the skull in a
peculiarly astonishing manuer,
and the month is open, displaying
the teeth and tongue, which are
plainly visible. The extremities
are remarkably small and perfect
even the halls being in their re>
spectire places. The hair on the
head, we should add, appears to
be plated i'll very peculiar man
ner, and is of great length and
thickness, though in some parts
detached, owing TO part of the
skull being destroyed. The curl
osity at present is at the Offices
of the firm who have imported it
from South America, but we un-
derstand that arrangements are
being made that it shall be pub
liclv shown at the Westminster
Aquarium at an early day.

WONDERFUL PRECC CCITY.-The
most noted case Of childish pre-
cocity is perhaps that of Christian
Henry Heinecker, born in Lubec
in 1921. He could talk at ten
months old !; when he had compile
ted his first year could recite the
leading facts in the Pentateuch,
and a month later had acquired
the udinents Of ancient history,
geography aud anatomy; had
lear'ed the Use Of maps and 5000
Latin words. When two and II
half years old he could answer
almost any question in geography
and history, and before his death
which occurred in 1924. at the age
Of four years aud four months,
had learned divinity, ecclesiasti-
Cal history, aud other branches Of
knowledge, and spoke Latin,
French, German and Dutch.
About a year before his death he
harangued the King of Denmark,
to whom he had been presented.
La his last moments he displayed
the utmost frmness, and attemp-
ted to console his grief-stricken
parenGs.

The Oak Street Station was brightly
lighted all night long, according to custom.
and the blinds were partly drawn.
The sergeant had been busy in the latter
part of the evening, booking the miserable
wretches brought before him, most of them
in variousdegrees of intoxication, and now,
in the early morning, he sat quietly reading
the newspaper.
For an hour he was undisturbed, then the
outer door swung open and a young man
hastily entered. He was light, well-built,
and OF medium height A loose-fttng cape
protected his shoulders from the chill air,
and black slouch hat partly concealed his
