LincOln's Childhood.

OF all these years Of Abraham Lincoln's
early childhood we know almost moth
ing. He lived a solitary life in the
woods returning from his lonesome lit
tie games to his cherries home. He
never talked of these days to his intimate
friends. Once, when asked what he re-
membcred about the war with Great
Britain he replied: Nothing but this.
l had been fishing one day and caught a
little fish which l was taking home. I
met soldier in the road, and having al
ways been told at home that we must
be good to the soldiers, gave him my
fish," This is only faint glimpse, but
what it shows is rather plcasant--thc
generous child and the patriotic house.

these first years of his life had their last
ing effect upon the temperament of this
great mil thful and melancholy man. lie
had little schooling. lie accompanied
his sister Sarah to the only schools that
ever existed in their ncighborhood, one
kept by zachariah Rincy, and another
by Caleb Hazel, where he learned his
alphabet and little more. But of all
those advantages for the cultivation of a
young mind and spirit which every
home now offers to its children, the
books, toys, ingenious games, and daily
devotion of parental love, he knew

The MOngOlian's Appetite,

The Chinese are all very hearty eaters,
and they are likewise the most abundant
producers of food staples of all kinds.
No caste prejudice ever stands between
Chinaman's appetite and good square
meal, but, to the lower classes at least,
"all's fish that cometh to net" The r
principle is to work hard and cat boun-
tifully, and consequently, as a race, they
have look Of well fed plumpness which
is in striking contrast to the lean and
hungry Hindoo and Malay.
Other travellers have said that the
lowest classes of the Chinese eat domes-
tic animals that in our dining rooms
figure under the table rather than upon
it; but l must say saw no evidences of
such bad taste on the part of the Can
tonese. / remember, however, that
when at the village of Simujan in Bor-
neo my Celestial servant, All Kee, re-
ported to me with every manifestation of
unspeakab'c disgust, that one of the

MaSSaye.

To Franco belongs the credit OF giving
to modern medicine a scientific system Of
massage; and yet, in spite of many able
works, and various discussions at the
Academy Of Sciences and other learned
societies, it remained sort of secret
practice, almost wholly under the
domain of empiricism; but with the
waning interest of French physicians the
Germans and Scandinavians took up the
subject; and about ten years ago Dr..
Mezger of Amsterdam brought massage
to be acknowledged as a highly valuable
method. He placed it upon the basis of
practical knowledges, thus taking it out
Of the hands of ignorant charlatans. He
did not write much about it, but simply
employed the teaching of facts. 10
physicians who wrote to him for all cx-
plantations of his treatment he only said /:
"Comc and scc." To Prof. Won Mosen-
geil is owing the present accurate and
scientific knowlc lgc of the subject; by
l1s careful and painstaking observations
he has brought massage into high es-
teen SO that it is now acknow edged as
special branch of the art of medicine.

A Ou er Bird,

Innumerable puffins and birds of their
kind swarm upon all the rocky coasts of
Great Britain. The putin is member
of great bird family which is at home
in the arctic circle. AUX is the generic
name. The true aux, it is recorded,
rarely quits its frigid surroundings. 1t
is bird of the sea, and only when
breeding does it forsake the water. Its
wings no not seem to have been intended
to fly with, but to serve as paddles or
oars to assist the webbed feet of the bird
in propelIing it through the water. So
swift a swimmer is the aux of the arctic
seas that it has been known to beat a
ships boat manaed by six strong rowers.
The black billed aux is a variety that
is common both in the far North and
about the British and neighboring
coasts. The Esquimaux look to it for
food and clothing, and during the breed
ing season it swarms in the northern
latitudes in such numbers that the Es-
quimaux are rarely disappointed. On
the British and Irish coasts it inhabits
the rocks, sitting in interminable rows,
one above another, along the ledges, and
looking astonishingly stupid. This
variety of the aux has wings which il
can fly with, but which it uses also as
paddles, ,after the fashion of the true
aux Of the icy seas. In color it is dark

along the back and white beneath. Its
beak is perhaps its most striking
feature. 1t is massive beak, very long
and broad, with hook at the end, and
tooth-likc process along its mandibles
which enables it to take firm hold upon
tho elusive fishes which arc its prey.
The black-billed aux bears also the name
of ''razor-bill," which is a name intended
TO suggest tho beak's broad and trcn.
chant shape.
A third variety of this bird is the Lab.
rador aux, which is the putin. The
putin is good deal like its brothers; it
is dark above and white below, with a
black collar about his neck, yellow legs,
and q beak that begins by being gray
and ends in overwhelming scarlet. 1t
stops in the British isles during the sum-
mer, when it breeds, and towards winter
it departs with its. young for Spain and
the south of France. 1t chases the rab-
bit out of its burrow, which is us.d as a
depository for the single egg it lays.
This egg is of a size out of all proportion
to the size of the putin itself. Nobody
seeing puffin's cg, would believe that
anything smaller than swan could re-
suit from it, whereas putin is only
twelve inches long; but it must be re-
membcred that the egg which coutains a
putin contains also pufiin's beah. Not
withstanding, however, that the putin
is only one foot in length, it is very
brave and pugnacious bird, and particu-
larly during the breeding season it is not
altogether a pie saut business to interfere
with it.--Harper's Weekly.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

Professors Fischer and Penzoldt, of
Erlangen, have established the curious
fact that the sense of smell is by far the
mot delicate of the senses. They find
tnat the ofactory nerve is able to de ect
the presence of 1-2, 100, 900, 600 ola grain
OF mercaptan.
According to observations made in
Munich on a zinc roof which had been in
use for twenty-seven years it is estimated
that such roof 1-4Sth of an inch in
thickness would last for /. 243 years. 1t
was TO md that the rust of zinc, instead
of fastening, like iron rust, the oxida-
ton on the metal underneath, really pro-
tected it.
The Journal of Reco 7struction states
that an infant loses from three to six
ounces in weight duriug the first four to
six days after b rth: by the seventh day
it should have regained it, birth weight;
from that to the fifth month it ought to
gain about five ounces per week, or
about X drains day aftar tn tlith

filth month it ou hit to have doubled IS
birth weight, and in sixteen months
quadrupled it.

In tie west of Scotland, Stevenson
found the average force of the waves for
the five summer IN 1nths to be Gil pounds
per squire foot, and for the six winter
months 2,0S6 pounds. He mentions that
on one of the Hebrides mass of rock

Endurance

We wend our way along this vale of tears
With troubles thorns beneath our shrinking
feat;
On Times harsh scroll we notch the phantom
years,
While life's long toll is left all incomplete.
We feel the agony of mortal pain,
And writhe beneath the surgeons probing
knife;
We starve, we thirst, we wait for love in
vain,
And wrestle with despair in deadly strife.
Above the graves that shrine our treasures
lost,
We bare our breasts to Him who dealt the
blow,
While round our numbing hearts dissolves
the frost,
And griefs full fount finds saving over
flow.
And SO we climb the rounds of care and pain,
And serve in suffering till the goal we
gain.

A Model Cook.

A New York gentleman hired cook
because her recommendations were good,
and moreover she asserted that she had
cooked for gentleman whose good table
is celebrated. Much to the disgust of
her employer, her cooking was simply
horrible, so he called her into his
presence and said:
Bridget, when l hired you you told
me that you were qualifi ID as cook,
and that you had been cook at the
Bondclipper villa on the Hudson"
