One of Mr.. Lncoln's annoyances was
the claims advanced for having first Sug-

of a weekly paper published in a little
village in Missouri. called at the White
House ard was admitted 10 Mr.. L;ncoln's
presence. lie at once commenced stat
ing to Mir. Lincoln that he was the man
who first suggested his name Tor the
Presidency, and, pulling from his pocket
an old. worn, defaced copy of his paper,
exhibited to the President an item on the
subject. ''Do you really think, said
MIR. Lincoln, ''that announcement was
the occasion of my nomination. Ger
taniy, said the editor, "the suggestion
was 50 oppOrtune that it was at once
taken up BY other papers, and the result
was your nomination and election. "Ah.

assuming a rather gloomy countenarce;

but Won will have to excuse me. am

HOW GALLEY SLAVES LABOR.
Tho Australian Convict system and Its
iSar5Iriiies

The gang of galley slaves was seated
in close order on benches covered with
coarse sackiug ru6ely stuffed. over which
were thrown bulccks' hides. Five or
six Of them occupied bench ten or
eleven feet long. 70 a footboard be-
meath each man was attached by a chain
ending in an iron band, riveted round
one Of his ankles. The benches were so
close together that, as one row of them
pushed forward their oar, the arms ana
oar of tie row behind were projected
over ther Bonded backs. The size and
weight OF the oar were Sc great that. OK
cept at the end where it was tapered to a
manageable size, it was necessary to
work it by handles fixed to the side.
The slaves We're overlooked by the
boatswain. His place was on the gang
way, close to the sternmost oars, where
he was at al times within hearing of The
orders OF the captain. Along the gang
way, at regular intervals his mate and
the driver We're posted, SO that the con-
duet of each slave was under inspection.
The oars We're put III motion or stopped
by the sound of silver whistle worn by
the boatswain, who, with his mates, was
armed with heavy whip of bulls sinew
to stimulate the exyrtiors OF the slaves.
Wien it was necessary to continne the
labor for many hours without respite,
they would administer, iii addition to
the lash, morsels OF bread stepped III
wine, which they pat in the mouths of
the men as they rowed. II, in spite OF
these precautions, a slave sank from IA
tigue, he Vas whipped until it was evil
dent that no further work was to be OBJ

a Brides Death ut Monte Carlo.

From the L0nd0R Times.
The death of another victim of Monte
Carlo has to be recorded. 4 clerk in a
large countinghouse in Germany was
spending bis honeymoon in Italy, and re-
ceived 10, 600 francs in payment of a bill
due to his employers. On his way back
he stopped at Monte Carlo, and, fearing
its temptations, intrusted the money to
his wife's custody. lie was called away
for time, aud found On his return that
his wife Was missing He made inquiries
to nc purpose.
At last he learned that u young wo-
man, after losing 10000 francs at the
gaming tables, had thrown herself into
the sea. The bride had entered the
Casino from curiosity, had staked some
small sums, and then, egged on by wo-
men believed to have been stationed
there for the purpose, had lost every
thing.
The Casino authorities had ordered the
affair to be kept secret, and, but for one
of the officials being touched by the hus-
bands anguish, the Young man might
never have known what had become OF
his wife.

The heap of manure has 81 per cent
of its original weight. Is not this ruinOus
and in accord with the farmers views? A
closer inspection Of the loss modifies our
views; 1912 pounds of this loss is water
and 51l pounds is organic matter. all of
which saves 20 pounds nitrogen, is oxy-
gen, hydrogen and carbon. Lett go;
the plant gets these materials from ma
ture, while nature forms in the
manure heap gypsum or plaster
and organic acids to prevent the
escape of the valuable nitrogen.
Nature is crowned with wisdom, and is
an economist we may well initiate. The
minerals not being volatile. of course
have not escaped. 'But smell the es-

SYSTEM IN pAiRYINo.

Farmers Should Know What . Cow u
Worth and the PROFIT She Gives.
The number of farmers who have
been convinced that dairying is a
profitable business is legion. yet so far
as systematic methods are concerned
the dairy business is in its infancy.
But very few farmers know the exact
amount Of milk their cows give. They
can form a partial opinion Of the merits
of each cow by comparison with
others, but they are seldom able to
state the exact annual production of
each COW. While they may at times
know something in regard to the
capacity of the cows, yet they can not
arrive at knowledge of the cost of the
milk from each animal except by actual
test. And just here itmay not be amiss
to remind our dairy friends that cow
is not always the most profitable be-
cause she gives a larger quantity Of
milk as compared with her COM
panions, but only in proportion to the
cost of the milk without regard to
the amount yielded. Some cows will
consume large quantity of food, and
give an excellent yield, also, yet they
may not be profitable. while one prp-
ducing less milk may be better animal
if she has utilized less food in her prod
net. We believe in keeping the cow
that eats the largest quantity, and yields
milk accordingly, but in dairying there
are great many incidental expenses
that enter into the total cost. The Lind
of food required for COW, the ease with
which she is MIXED, her disposition.
duration of milking, and care required
in her management, are all prime
factors of the whole.
A farmer should know Just what his
COW is worth, and the prof. she gives.
the same as if she is machine, and
this can not be done unless q SYSTEM
attic course is pursued in which accounts
are kept, and all the details noted, in
order to enable the farmer to have 3
clear idea regarding the value Of his
cows at any time of the year, and to do
this is not difficult-FdSM, Field and
St0ckzaan.

stepped into an undertaker's Office
the other day and made bold to ask tho
young man in charge if there WAS any
thing new in the funeral business. Hav..
ing satisfied him that my mission was
not one of idle curiosity simply, he re-
piled: IF you won't mention this firms
name I will tell you. The latest thing
is to provide certain class of people
with mOurners. You knOw-or IL you
don't can tell you it is true-there arc
some people whose circle of acquaint-
ances is limited and yet they make des.
perate efforts to keep up appearances in
that particular. They are always tell.
ing about Mr. and Mrs. So-and-So hav.
ing called, or how they called on Judge
So-and-So. They make the impression
that they have big acquaintance.
Well, one of the family dies. It is
necessary to have big funeral. They
know then that the sham is at an end
unless they can do something. We
have undertaken to supply this so,ne-
tE;ng.
1--WE have some of the mOurnfulest
looking costumes here that you ever
saw. We have arrangements made
with number of young men who are
out of business by which they call here
once day for their orders. When an
order comes in for casket and car.
riagcs, We ask: How many mourners
shall we send? If the person is Of the
class l tell you he generally orders ao-
c0rding to his circumstances. Some
times we send out as many as eight or.
ten. We pay them one dollar apiece to
take a look at the departed, and where
they take on to any great extent we pay
them fifty cents extra. It has never
failed to work. We've got one chap
here who looks like Judge Lyman
Trumbull for the world. Reporters
often mistake him for Trumbull at .
funeral and print it so. The old scoun-
drel has got on to the racket and won't
bulge for less than two dollars and .
half. Every now and then he threatens
to strike, but we keep him down by
threatening to have him arrested for
vagrancy. Come around son8e time
