The Home of Lincoln.
Enr,,ar-. n,-,,;

To the country at large Springfield ia
distinguished as the home of Abraham
Lincoln to an extent perhaps not fully
realized by the residents of the growing
capital, with its ever new interests. Ard
1 was perhaps uureasonably disappointed
in not finding that sense of his person
ality that 1 expected. 1t is, indeed, en-
phssized by statues in the Capitol and
by the great mausoleum in the cemetery
an i'm posing structure, with an excel
lent statue in bronze, ard four groups, re
lating to the Civil War, of uncommon
merit. But this great monumental show
does not satisfy the personal longing of
which l speak. Nor is the Lincoln resi-
dence much more satisfactory in this
respect. The plain IwO-story wooden
house las been presented to the State BY
his son Robert, and is n charge of
custodian. And although the parlor is
a showroom and full OF memorials, there
is no atmosphere OF the man about it. On
LincoIn's departure for Washington the
furniture was sold and the house rented
never to be again occu pied by him. There
is here nothing of the personal presence
that clings to the hermitage, TO Marsh
field, TO Mount Vernon, % Monticello.
Lincoln was given 10 the nation and-a
frequent occurrence II our uprootiDg
business life-the house disappeared.
Lincoln vas honored and beloved in
Springfield as man, but perhaps some
of the feeling toward him as party lead
er still fingers, although Is has disappear
ed almost everywhere else in the country.
Noshere else was the personal partisan
ship hotter than in this city and 1t is nsrd-
Iy to be expected that political foes IN
in this generation should quite com pre-
bend the elevation of Lincoln, i'll the con-
sentiDg opinion of the world, among the
greatest characters OF all ages. Il has
happened 20 Lincoln that every year and
g more intimate knowledge OF his char
scter have added TO hi. fame and to the
appreciation of b. moral grandeur.
There il q natural desire 10 go 70 some
spo. pre-eminently sacred of his person
atty. This may be his birthplace Al
any rate, it Is likely tha. before many
years Kentucky viii be proud TO distin-
guish in some way the spot where the
life began OF the most iliustrious man |
born il its borders.

subjects brought the treasure; but the
greedy Spsniards dsmsnded more. Run

Frightening Children.

Is tlmid aud naturally shrlnks from
sights aud sounds which, to him, are
strange and unaccountable. To in any
way frighteu q child is not only thought
Ices and cruel, but the act itself may be
followed by serious results. For ons TO
say no harm was intended, and that it
was only in fun, is ne excuse. II is of
some of the ways in which this abuse is
sometimes offered, and their consequent
attendant evils, that | wish to speak.
There are some people who seem to
take morbid satisfaction in frightening
young children by suddenly appearing
before them with the face hidden by q
mask or the entire body covered with q
sheet, at the same time uttering loud and
unnatural sounds, and gesticulatiLg in a
wild and frantic manner. Occasionally
We ind person who is SO regardless of
possible accidents IS not to hesitate to
point at child gun or pistol, and feign
to strike with knife or Ratchet. The
setting of strange dog upon one who
already shows signs of terror at the CON
slant barking of the animal is sometimes
followed by unexpected and painful re-
suits. For little acts of disobedieuce
children are sometimes shut up in a dark
closet or temporarily confined in the attic
or cellar. At other times they are told
great stories of ghosts and threatened
that, If they do not behave, they will be
sold to the gag picker, or that wander
ing gypsies will steal them and carry
them away.
These and other such frightful appari-
tions are relics of barbarism and super
stition, which should have no place in the
Christian light and intelligence of this
nineteenth century. And not only this !;
such scenes, stories and threats are gross
ly 1udeceEt and deliberate falsehoods, the
nature Of which the child will some day
understand, and be will be very likely to
form just estimate of the moral char
aoter of those in whose confidence and
honesty he firmly believed. 1t is also to
be remembered that it is possible that q
child may be so often frightened in one
way or another as to eventually weaken
his character, and even sometimes produce
deplorable state of mental imbecility :;
and there are msny cases on record where
child has been so frightened as to cause
lnsensibilty, commissions and DEATH

They are not so Strained as Formerly bu
Trouble may Arise.
BERLIN, August 1.-THE most dis
Cussed event of the week was Lord Sails
burys speech at Lord Mayors banquet IN
London. TIE confident tone of the
speech was welcomed as confirming the
national Ieitung statement that Prince
BDsmaTck believed the meeting between
Emperor William and the Gar would
result in a long period of peace. The only
portion of Salisburys speech that is
thought to be open to criticism is
his reference to Bulgaria. Advices re-
ceived from ST. Petersburg to-day in 10
way tend to confirm the prime ministers
optimistic remarks. On the other hand,
it is stated on reliable authority that
Russia adheres to her original programme
of ousting Prince Ferdinand, excluding
Prince Alexander, and sending a Rus
sian commissioner to restore all
the diplomatic relations, without
interfering with internal affairs, prelim
mary to allowing the Bugerians to cleo
any prince they think fl, provided he
legally elected, and member of an or
tnodox church. Salisbury's speech met
with greater criticism i'll Vienna than
elsewhere, his apparently improved
feeling toward Russia being IN
palatabIe to the Austrian people.
The cabinet at Vienna has no intention
to abandon Prince Ferdinand and con
tinues to favor Il settlement to be agreed
upon by all powers. The Massowaa IN
cident is here considered definitely closed
by M. Coblet's note Of protest. Herr
Won Schloezer, the German representa-
tive at the vatican, who brought
letter from Cardinal Rampolla
the papal secretary of state
has had several long interviews with
Prince Bismarck during the week. There
are rumors that the results of these con-
ferences have caused hesitancy in com
pleting plans for the kaiser. visit to Italy.
The Italian government is arranging rail
way excursions from all parts of Italy in
order to bring together large concourse
of people, with demonstrations in honor
of the royal visitor.

The country, the climate, the oppor
tunities for good local or foreign mar
kets, the public roads and facilities of
transportation, tie school and special
privileges, are all to be considered in Sc
lecting locality for home. Young
farmers are, in too many cases, falsely
modest about looking iuto the future.
Most farmers eventually have families
which are far more to them than the
farm itself, ard the foreslghted Young
man will not make the mistake of settling
in either newly or all settled country,
where the customs are such that he would
not wish his wife aud children and him
self to grow into them.
With many the matter OF climate counts
largely. There is great liking on the
part of many to get climate where
they can live with little labor, where
their wants can be reduced TO minimum
and their efforts gauged according to
their actual necessities. Engaging in
the production of special crops pecessi-
tates the selection OF a climate where
there is assurance OF perfect maturity.
Fine public roads ard chep Transports
ton routes cannot be over estimated
School privileges should also be duly con,
sidered by the young farmer beginning
his life's work. Locating at place at 8
distance from the probable site of a
school may cause more than a little re-
greet. Social opportunities should not be
overlooked. Preference should be given
a neighborhood that has conssniaI So
ciety-fsrmers and villagers to cid in
being not only a better farmer bat bet
ter citizen. farmer who settles in the
midst of enterprislng farmers stands
much better chance OF being enterpris-
ing himself than if he settles among the
careless, inherent, and unambitious.

Selecting a Farm.
n-s;

1t is the exception where men use
proper care and intelligence in selecting
a farm. The whole subject is too little
understood, especially by young farmers
locating on laud-the main part of their
capital for many years, if not for their
whole lives. Real estate agents and others
DESTROYS of selling land, usually study the
merits of their farms and present all
the good points to the inquirer. The
buyer must, for himself, hunt out the
defects and weigh them in HIS own mind.
While it is best for a farmer to have
well defined idea of the kind of farming
he wishes to pursue, he should allow him
self some fieIlbillty, so as to adjust his
farming somewhat to some farm that
strikes him as being not only bargain
at the price asked, hut being IN most re-
spects suited to his special purpose.
Selecting farm should be given both
thought and time in looking around. By
comparing several farms which more or
less suit the purpose, a more clearly de-
fiued idea is developed of what is desired
and by com p.-rison the true value, for the
purpose desired, of each farm is more
nearly determined. In buying a three
thousand dollar farm many farmers are
10th to spend twenty-five or fifty dollars
and months time in looking around
while in the ma ority of cases they would
probably gain several times that amount
IN the better bargain they conld secure,
besides having the satisfaction OF know
ing that they have made a selection that
will not be regretted. The saying among
farmers that "Thres removes are as bad
as one fire." Is very true.
