Lincoin's Merciful Nature.

Mr.. Lincoln was by nature singularly
merciful. The a with which he could
be reached by persons who might profit
10y his clemency gave rise to many not
able scenes in the White House during
the war. Upwards Of twenty deserters
were sentenced al one time to he shot.
The warrants for their execution were
sent 10 Mr.. Lincoln for his approval. He
refused TO sign them. The commanding
general to whose corps the condemned
men belonged was indignant. He hur-
ried to Washington. Mr.. Lincoln had
listened 10 moving petitions for mercy
from humane persons who, like himself,
were shocked at the idea Of the cold
bloodcd execution of more than a score OF
misguided men. His resolution was fixed,
but his rule was To- see every man who
had business with him.
The irate commander was admitted
into Mr.. Lincoln's private Office. With
soldierly bluntness he told the president
that mercy 10 the t " was cruelty TO the
many: hat execut ye clemency in such
a case would be a blow I military dis.
cipline, and that unless the condemned
men were made examples Of the army
itself would lie in danger. General
said Mr.. Lincoln, there are too many
weeping widows in the United State:
now. For Gods sake. don't ask me tc
add to the number, for, tell YOU plainly,
won't do it,"
He believed that kind words were bet
ter for the poor fellows than cold lead,
and the sequel showed that he was right.

/. How Tennyson Talks.

T~ennyson'is now in his 18th year, his
locks are thinning fast and there are
fewer dark ones than there were even
three years ago. but his wonderfully
noble eye has not lost its luster. Most
likely he shifts a clay pipe into his left
hand that he may grip you with his
right. This pipe is his calumet Of peace,
his secret charm for abstraction, his in
cense TO the gods. AT morn. at noon. at
night, alone or accompanied. the pipe is
his half way house between meals and
the sure precursor of a nights repose.
The TennysOnian costume is seen at its
best in here and does not seem 50 much
an affcctation. lie thiws Int slowly. even
in his own room. but the magic of a
third pipeful sets wagging that masculine
tongue and neither jawhune, and if the
topic stirs him he will pour forth fine
rolling periods in the sturdy Old English
accents which modern suncriine rockncy
schooling is polishing out Of existence.
As the conversation warns his puifs
come fast and thick and the sound Of the
pipes wakes more and more warlike. Not
the bagpip"s nor the pipes of Pan. but
the church wardens, as we call the
long clays, for T~ennyson has a lordly
within never to smoke the same pipe
twice. When the charge is exhausted he
breaks the shank. drops it into a cistern-
like vase and fills u clean one from the
box supplied by his wholesale dealer

Excuses Which Singers Make.

Do | think there are many such fraud
ulent excuses? Yes. lots Of them. What
is more, many a minor performer bears
the brunt of a hitch or failure 10 shield
the leading performers, 1t is an old say
ing that a had workman blames his tools.
1t Is a good deal that way with singers
and musical performers. | remember a
case in point when the great Nilsson was
the real culprit. She sang here just be-
fore the great fire in a concert Of which |
was the director. A flutist had 10 play
an obligato accompaniment tn m aria
which Nilsson vas to sing. With char
acteriStic egutism she refused to attend
the rehearsal. At the performance she
sang in an entirely different key TO that
which the flutist had practiced. There
could he but IL result, and that "A fail
ure. Nilsson threw down her book in a
fret at the feet of the terrified ilutist,
who MAS pulled over the Goals and
roundly condemn ed by the audience.
Poor fellow, he was not TO blame; it was
Missions fault.
A few DAYS later sne was to take part
in the production of The Messiah" l
told Max StrakoSch, the impreSario, that
l should insist on Wilson's presence at
the rehearsal or not be responsible for a
break in the performance. In this case
she came like a lady, and everything
went off smoothly. II requires a good
deal Of tact 10 get along with such pco-
pie. Some prima donnas are the en-
bodiment Of gentleness and courtesy so
long as you stroke them the right way.
When you stroke them the wrong way

receive for the first twenty-four hours
of their existence, the better chances
for raising them. Leave the care en-
tirely to the mother hen until she
shows a desire to roam in fresh
fields with her young. Then remove
the whole family to a coop, which
should be in readiness, of a size Axe
feet, say, 81 feet front, 2! feet back,
giving slanting roof Of one foot in
pitch. Place boards around the body
of the coop, with space three-quarters
of an inch between each, thus insur-
ing plenty of fresh air. The coop
should be thoroughly whitewashed
and provided with board floor COW
cred with clean sand. The front
should be made to close at night and
in stormy weather. An orchard
where but little grass is growing is
preferable TO any other place for start
ing them.
Mother hens can be confined to the
orchard by light board or shingle
secured on their backs by soft, fiat
strings drawn through holes and tied
under their wings. This method
will not injure them in the least.
After the first twenty-four hours they
will begin to look about for food.
The young turkeys should be fed egg
bread, curd, or light bread crunl-
bled in milk. Hard-boiled eggs with
little black pepper are excellent for
a morning feed during the first week.
After this period, crushed corn, boil.
ed the same as hominy, with clean
dish of sour milk, will answer very
we'll until they are four weeks old,
when they should have an addition
of cracked corn and wheat just before
retiring for the night.
After the turkeys are six weeks old
they can be allowed to roam at large
and roost in low shed or under a
courthouse. They may be taught to
go home every night by taking pains
to feed them near their roosting'
place. Care should be taken to feed
them on the same ground but a shor
time in succession, as the ground be
comes stale. One can change about
after they get accustomed to theil
roosting-place without danger ofthei
; wandering off in search of new quar-
tiers. At this age the turkeys may b
fed on whole grain at night. Awarn
, feed, consisting of corn meal, one
; third as much of middlings and tn
] same of ground oats, mixed with boil
: ing water, makes a good morning
feed. Boiled potatoes once a weel
may be added to the morning feed
!, Cayenne pepper added in small guam
j titles to their feed on damp morning
i serves as a gentle stimulant. Brood
+ about to be shipped should always b
a provided with hardwood ashes, an
