Gentlene,s Of Abraham Lincoln.

Mr.. Lincoln vas one Of the bravPst
men that even lived and one of the gem
tlest. The instances in his earlier career
in which he puts his life or his body in
peril TO prevent injury 10 another are
very numerous. / have often thought
that his interposition in behalf Of the
friendless Indian. who wandered into
camp during the Black Hawk war and
was about TO be murdered by the troops,
was an act Of chivalry unsurpassed in
the whole story Of knighthood. So in
the rough days Of Gentryville and New
Salem he was always on the side Of the
weak and the undefended; always dar-
ingly against the bully; always brave,
tender, and always invoking peace and
good will, except where they could be
had only by dishonor.
lie could not endure to witness the
needless suffering even of a brute. When
riding once with a company of young
ladies and gentlemen. dressed up in his
and their hest, he sprang from his horse
and covered himself with filth TO release
a pig, which was fast in a fence and
squealing in pain, because, as he said in
his homely way, the misery of the poor
pig was more than he could bear

Honesty Of the Reporter.

The great body OF. reporters in every
considerable city are men Of native intel
ligence, varying education, indomitable
energy, wonderful industry and as loyal
TO their employers rs any soldier to his
chief.
| have been in, among and of them for
many years. Never in my experience as
reporter or editor have ] known u man
employed by any paper, whether rich or
poor, high or low, mean enough or low
enough to cheat his employer by giving
away news which he has for his journal
alone, and / have rarely met n whose
interest in the ~pecuniary and journalistic
prosperity of his employer was not as
absolute, and as great, in the higher
sense, as that of the mar who paid him.
If / e asked to catalogue the peculi-
arities of American reporters, | would
put them in this way: First, LOYALTY
second, intelligence; third, industry

value OF Soapstone.

The mineral soapstone or steatite is
Just now coming into prominence, by
reason of the valuable property it pos.
sesses as a pigment for protecting steel
vessels against ~corrosion. Soapstone is a
soft magnetism mineral found frequently
in small contemporaneous veins that
traverse s%erpentine in all directions. IL
is used in the manufacture of porcelain
to make the biscuit semi-transparent. II
is employed in polishing marble and glass
for mirrors, and in numerous other direc-
tons in the arts and manufactures.
In China, soapstone is used Us the ma
terial for idols and other figures which
form the household gods of the Celestials.
Hence it has been termed figure stone.
Its refractory nature lends itself TO the
manufacture of gas burners and for use
in furnaces. 1t is also used in the manu-
facture Of crucibles.
Its latest application, however, is that
OF a paint for protecting the insides of
iron and steel ships and other structures,
which difficult problem it is stated to
have been the means of solving. Besides
the purpose 10 which we have already
alluded, sOapstone is also largely used in
China for preserving structures built Of
sandstone and other stones which are
liable to disintegrate under atmospheric
influences, and we are told that the row.
ering of powdered soapstone in the form
Of paint on some obelisksin China, which
were hewn out Of stone liable TO suffer
under atmospheric influences, has been
known. to preserve the same intact for
hundreds OF years.-Iron.

other sweets is used ii will disagree with
many people, causing indigestion. If

be healthy for some persons whose

not used for over feeding, when suf-

should be eaten without any sweets,

There Is a movement in some Of the
Eastaru States toward giving leg
islatiys sanction to "Courts Of Concili-
ation.n or neighbOring tribunals for
settling disputes without q regular
lawsuit. It is thought that Well-de-
vised statutes authorizing this method
of adjusting differences between citi-
zens will obviate deal Of litigation
This plan has been long and thor. 4
ou0hlv tried in Denmark, and with
remarkably gratifying success. The
N. Y. Evening Post thus describes the
functions and achievements Of the
Danish Courts Of COnciliation.
Each local community is authorized
To choose a tribunal called BY this
name, which consists generally Of one
Judge and two assistants, selected with
reference to their high standing in the
public confidence and their qualities
tions for composing disputes. This
tribunal has jurisdiction OF every COM
plant upon which civil action might
be based, and no such action can be
heard in any regular court until It has
been laid before the Court OF Conciii-
alton and has resulted in . disagree
ment, so that every cause out Of which
an action might arise, except In crimi-
nal cases, comes first before this tri-
bunal. The principals appear in per
son to tell their stories; witnesses ara
called in il necessary, but no counsel
are allowed, and II the decision is -
cepted by both parties, the dispu b
ended, lawyers fees are saved, Nile
the Judgment has the same force IS 3
Judgment Of an ordinary court. That
the decisions are accepted in the bulk
Of cases appears from the fact that
during the first five years Of the sys-
tenn ll6,4S3 cases were brought before
the 'tCOurts OF Cancellation" Of which
1912 were there settled, and during
the next five years 100, S36, Of which
121, $40 were settled and only hall Of
the remainder were ever carried TO
actual litigation.
This IL grand subject for Christi
mas week when "gOod will 70 mem Is
one Of the sentiments underlying the

the greatest Importance socially, SEN
timentally, economically and gene

and hates, the loss Of Individual saw
ings and industry, the immense ex-
pense to the public, which result from
the operations Of the courts in civil
cases alone. Cancellation or arbitra-
ton should take the place Of th ~ 3S-,,,.

Wo1ld seem but proper outcome Of
our progress in civilization that some

troubles which are often but misun-
derstandings at first but grow to bet
most deep-seated quarrels. ConeiIia-
tion Is good word. II is infinitely
better than litigation.-[ Pacific Rural

Lord Salisbury, speaking at Liver

General Kaulbars, formerly the
