Accidents to Children.

1t is an easy matter for children to
fall or an older person to knock them
down either in play or anger. Often
no account is made Of fall aside from
the immediate pain, but in a few days,
or 1t may be weeks, the child begins to
complain Of pains here and there, OF
being tired, Of it's back aching. From
being active 1t becomes quiet, morose,
irritable; nothing suits it. Don't think
the child is only cross, nor forget that
fall 1t had upon its back. Examine
the back carefully, pressing the finger
on each vertebra separately. Some Of
them will probably be sensitive. An
other way Of examining is, the child
being seated, press quickly, firmly
down with both hands on the shoulders.
II it causes any pain or even a bad feel
ing consult the best doctor in reach.
See that the child is kept off its feet as
much as possible and in reclining
position. You thus take the weight
of the inAamed part OF the spinal
column. and possibly few weeks con-
finement In bed will enable the parts to
recover without deformity. -Philadel-

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Jan. 11.-Near Moul-

Moody, colored. murdered his wife, and
three days afterward was taken from

ghost of Calvin Moody can be seen at tho
old cabin every night and that there is q
curse on all who had hand in the lynch
ing last summer. Colorod men who were
supposed to have taken part in the lynch.
ing Of Moody were the first to leave. The
terror among the negroes is general, and
they are leaving this section in numbers.
They will not listen to reason, firmly be-
lieving that the ghost Of the late Calvin

They Murder Scores Of Christians

ZANZIBAR, Jan. 1I--Advicee have been
received from the interior that in October
last Mwanga, King Of Uganda. plotted to
destroy his entire body guard, his inten.
tion being to abandon them on an island
in Lake Nyanzn, where they would starve
to death. The guards, who mad been fore
warned of the Kings intentions, refused
to enter the canoes which were to convey
them to the island, but returned to the
capital and attacked Mwanga's palace.
The King fed to escape the fury Of the
guards, and his brother, Kiwewa, was en-
throned in his stead. Kiwewa appointed
Christians to the principal Offices. This
enraged the Arabs, who murdered many
Of the Christian officials and replaced
them with Mohammedans The Arabs
burned the English and French mission

A STORY OF LINCOLN,
How the Great War President Came to
Study Law.

How the Great War President Came to
Study Law.
A. j. Conant, the portrait painter, Of
this city, told some interesting remin-
iscences of Abraham Lincoln in an ad-
dress before the conference of Baptist
pastors.
my acquaintance with Mr.. Lincoln"
said the speaker, ''dated from the time
I went to Springfield. ILL.,, to paint his
picture, just after his first election to
the Presidency. found him occupied,
day and night, in receiving delega-
tions. He was especially bothered by
Southerners, who, with their minds
half made up for war, came to get de-
cided declarations from the President
elect. He evaded them nearly always
by turning from the subject into some
funny story. While he was telling
those stories found my chance to get
a picture Of him which did not bear
that sad, depressed expression which
all his previous portraits gave him.
While his face was lighted up with a
smile there was no more joyous-looking
man, nor a more sorrowful appearing
one when he was in serious mood.
Toward the end he gave me few pri-
vate sittings. Inever took up the brush
till got him in the middle of one OF his
anecdotes. He gave mo great trouble
with his hair. It was about as pliable
as stove brush, and he made it worse
by constantly running his fingers
through 1t. I found it impossible to
keep his hands from his hair for three
consecutive minutes.
During the sitting he told me some
incidents Of his life which have never
seen in print. The way he came to
study law was this: While he kept a
grocery store in Salem. near SPRING
field, he found copy OF 'Blackstone's
Commentaries in an old barrel. They
interested him and he spent all his
leisure hours in poring over them, and
10 became fired with an ambition to be-
come a lawyer. His chance came when
he was elected delegate to the State
Wing convention. He made speech
there which attracted the attention of
Judge Logan, who advised him to come
to Springfield and study law. Lincoln
hurried home, sold out his grocery
business and entered the law Office OF
j. T. Stewart. In less than a year he
was admitted to the bar" IN. Y. Com

The House by a large majority had de-
termined that the Frisco service should

were in communication with the High
Commissioner OF Canada with reference
10 the question, and the information OBJ

Frisco, the present contractors might
make some proposals for its continuance,
and in that case they would be taken

The President of the Senate has laid
before that body number of papers re-
lating to sugar investigations since March,
1888. Among them is one referring TO
the cargo Of sugar imported from Java
by the American Refinery of San
Francisco, eX. Westmeath. After stat
ing seven separate reasons for the
opinion the report says: "The conclusion
to be drawn from that transaction is that
a fraud upon the revenue was attempted
in the importation of this sugar, and the
action of the Collector in releasing the
cargo without further investigation has
opened a door by which the revenue may
be further defrauded in the future
