The Republic OF San Marine.

The republic of San Marine is a curiosity
in itself. 1t was formed in the sixth century
and at first was mere hermitage establish
ed by Dalmatian monk, who gave his name
to it. 1t is situated on a mountain near
Rimini, and no one should pass Rimin with
out going to see it. 1t has always
been respected by every government
that has governed that part of Italy.
1t has laws of its own, having a
state council, formed of sixty members,
twenty of which are noblemen, twenty
tradesmen and twenty agriculturists. They
are appointed for life.
The executive is represented by two
captain regents, who are changed every six
months. The administration of justice is
contided to magistrate, appointed every
three years. The army consists of $50 men
and officers, and possesses four cannon,
which was given to the republic by Nspo.

office in San Marine, consequently no news.

A silly notion that is widely prevalent is
that relative to inaction of the liver. The

and is held to account for every bad feeling,
whether it be to excess in eating or drinking,

other forms of dissipation. The liver is quite

most of the sins laid at its door. The bile is
manufactured In large amounts daily, but
we know positively of few uses to which it
is put in the body, and of still fewer drugs
that are able to increase the daily output. If
we were certain that we could, at will, slim
ulate the huge gland to secrete more bile, it is
very uncertain that any benefit would result
from "arousing it from its torpor."

Robert 7. LincOln's First Bill.

Mr.. Robert 7. Lincoln likes to tell the
story of his first fee as an attorney. Old
Judge Logan, under whom he read law,
had always told him not to be afraid to charge
big fees for his services. people don't re-
spect cheap lawyer" said the Judge.
One day, soon after Mr. Lincoln had been
admitted to practice, he sat alone in his Office
when messenger brought note from the
Chicago agent of one of the wealthiest in
surance companies in America, asking to
have the title TO certain piece of property
looked up. The young lawyer spent about
half an hour looking into the title and then
sent his report to the insurance Office. Pretty
soon the messenger came with another note.
This one requested Mr.. Lincoln to send his
bill by the bearer. The young lawyer had
no idea what to charge. At first he thought
it would be good policy not to charge any.
thing, for" said he to himself ~ should
like to get that company's work regularly"
But he knew Judge Logan would not ap.
prove that sort of thing, and be didn't want
the Judge to think that he was needless of
his advice. So he figured it that, since he
had worked only half an hour, $40 would be
good stiff price, for 1t would be at the rate
OF $500 for day of ten hours. The words
OF Judge Logan, however, rang In his ears,

ously high fee, and was hesitating as 10
whether he would give it to the boy or make
out another for $40, when Judge Logan
CHANGED to come in.
You are just the man / want to see," said
Mr.. Lincoln, and he told him of his dilemma.
Judge Logan took the bill and tore 1t up.
II knew it was outrageously high" said
Mr.. Lincoln, "but, Judge, you always told
me to make big bills, and did this more to
please you than myself"
Nonsense" said the judge "give me a
pen" He sat down, wrote another bill, and
gave 1t to the boy
In few minutes the boy returned with
the insurance agents check for $3.50, aud q
little note to Mr. Lincoln thanking him for
his promptDess, and saying the company's
other work of this character would be sent
to him.

the old one; "did you make out a bill for

Picking I'm,

One of the time-consuming cares of every
housekeeper may be described under
the general head of picking up She
picks up after her husband, after the
girls, after the babies in the nursery .
The latter strew the nursery floor
with their blocks, toys and picture
books; about one baby in hundred being
taught to put its little properties away when
done with them, while the other ninety nine
are diligently Instructed at an early age in

apartment which they have set awry.
Doubtless their intention is TO carry their
things to the proper places themselves, after
period OF rest, but she who procrastinates in
such an affair, is lost. In putting away ones

ThimblcS and Thimble- VI akers.

In these days, when everything we see
hear and touch is supposed to have its history
1t ls humiIiating to have to confess that the
thimble, truly feminine article, is absolute,
ly without any account of its origin or shape
or use in early days
The first mention we get of it is in the
twelfth century, but this in no sense helps
US to its origin. 1t occurs in the collection
of words of common things, written out by
Hildegarde, and therefore we gather that it
must have been in daily use in her time.
We have some little guide as to the shape

ing at the one dug out of the Burg Tannen-
berg in the Bergstrasse at Darmstadt.
The burg itself was destroyed in 1900, and
never built up again therefore, this thimble,
which is now to be seen in the museum at
Darmstadt, must have been in use before the
destruction of the burg.
The shape is somewhat similar to ours it
is very well-made bronze thimbe.
AS far as we can be certain of anything,
the thimble is to be traced to the inventive
and ingenious artisans of Nurnberg, who
were the acknowledged manufacturers of it in
the fourteenth century.
1t was not, however until 1884 that the
thimble-makers became what ia called cor

yearly expeditions to the great fairs of Leip-
sic. Hamburg and Lubbock
1t seems that up to the end of the seven
teenth century the thimble was to be found
IN few places outside of Nurnberg, Hamburg,
Cologne and Holland.
There were at that time double thimbles,
of which the under one was quite smooth and
gilded while the upper one was of silver and
entirely pierced through.
In consequence of the Nurnberg Council
issuing so many prohibtive laws, the Thin
ble-making craft were unable to hold their
own they could neither make use of their
own inventions, nor could they employ ma
chinery and soon they were surpassed by
those of Aix-a-Chapelle and other places,
where restrictions had no power to prevent
the employment of machines put in motion
by water-power.
Thimbles seem to have been introduced
into England as articles Of common use by a
man named John Lofting, who came over
from Holland at the end OF the seventeenth
century and established thimbe factory at
lslington.
The word thimble is said to be derived
from the Scotch thummel or thumb-bell, n
sort of shield originally worn on the thumb

which was done. In dssecting the fowl the
missing thimble was found firmly imbedded
