LINCOLN'S HABITS.

An Early Riser and One of the Most Alb
stemious OF Mon. 81
The President rose early, as his sleep
was light and capricious, writes Colonel
John Hay in the Century. In the sum-
mer, when he lived at the Soldiers
Home, he would take his frugal break
fast and ride into town in time to be at
his desk at eight o'clock. He began to
receive visits nominally at ten o'clock,
but long before that hour struck the
doors were besieged by anxious crowds,
through whom the people of Importance,
Senators and members of Congress, ell
bowed their way after the fashion which
still survives. On days when the Cab
met met, Tuesdays and Fridays, the
hour Of noon closed the interviews of
the morning. On other days it was the
Presidents ustom, at about that hour,
to order the doors to be opened and all
who were waiting to be admitted.
At luncheon time he had literally to
run the gantlet through the crowds who
filled the corridors between his office
and the rooms at the west end Of the
house occupied by the family. The
afternoon wore away in much the same
manner as the morning; late in the day
he usually drove out for an hours air.
ing; at six o'clock he dined.
He was one Of the most abstemious Of
men; the pleasures of the table had
few attractions for him. His break
fast was an egg and a cup Of coffee; at
luncheon he rarely took more than a
biscuit and glass of milk, plate Of
fruit in its season; at dinner he ate
sparingly of one or two courses. He
drank little or no wine; not that he re-
manned always on principle total abb
sta1ner, as he was part of his early
life in the fervor Of the washington
ian" reform; but he never cared for
wine or liquors Of any sort, and never
used tobacco.

A MEDICAL MANS MEMORY
OF WARTIME

Under the above heading we shall short
ty begin the publication of series CT Illus
trated War Sketches, written by private
soldier, by a man who himself carried q
musket, and which will interest all readers,
both young and old, alike.
They are not devoted to a discussion or
criticism of men and methods, but in a
plain simple manner tell soldiers story
from soldiers standpoint.
They are rich in incident and valuable as
historical series, but yet invested with an
interest equal to that found in tale Of
fiction.
Don't miss the first number of this re-
markable series. In reading them your
children will learn to love history and be-
come familiar with story every American
boy and girl ought to read.
There is nothing of a bitter or sectional
feeling pervading the articles-that is in
the shape Of opinion expressed by the
author, or in the spirit in which his narra-
tive is written. In no sense does the author
obtrude his personal opinions, but narrates
facts, together with his own observations
as to what he as q private soldier saw and
experienced. The series will be appro-
priately illustrated; few specimen cuts
are here with given.

CHEAP AND HEALTHY.

Separated MILK and jam Make a Good
Enough dot for Anybody.
Mr.. Gladstone has reminded the world
that separated milk is a highly nour-
ishing and most valuable article Of food,
says the British Medical journal. At
present immense quantities of it, which
could not be put to better use than in
aiding the direct food supplies of the
population, are thrown to the pigs or
disposed of at nominal rates for mixed
trade purposes. Separated milk, it is
almost needless to say, contains all the
milk except the fat, which is converted
into butter. Now, fat is a very neces-
sary thing for infants, for children and
infants can not do without it. But chill.
dren and adults can easily find other
means of getting the required hydro
carbon, either in the form of suet, lard,
sugar or jam.
Very few people, perhaps, know how
large part cheap jam plays in the feed
Ing of the poor school child. The cheap
ness Of sugar and the great abundance
Of cheap fruit preserves are playing q
most important and, indeed, an inval-
liable part in the feeding of the chill
dren of the artisan, the laborer and the
cottager. 1t is surprising, but salts
factory, to see nowadays how the child
brings to school hunk Of bread and
jam. There is no better form of hydro
carbon. Separated milk and cheap jam
are additions of vast National impor-
lance to our dietary; and not for chill
dren alone. Hence the advice to the
cottager diligently to cultivate his fruit
trees, and to hold separated milk in
high esteem, is as sound economic and
physiological advice as a statesman can
give, and he does we'll who lends to 1t
the emphasis of popular power.

A Man Is Net Always Frightened When
He Turns Pale. .''~ '''. "'
Colonel Mosby has peppery temper,
and 1t was my misfortune to excite it on
the occasion of our first meeting, says
writer in the Los Angeles Express.
Our talk after time turned on the SUBJ
ject Of courage, and I repeated the old
story Of General Custer and tho recruit
Custer Is said to have been one Of those
rare men who are born without the
sense of fear, and never lost color in
any moment of peril. His troops were
standing under fire, not permitted TO
return it.
Say" asked the Quaking recruit Of
the veteran next him, "when are we
going to get the order to retreat?"
"Well," the old soldier said, .'theYe's
Custer on his horse just before you.
Keep your eye on him and the moment
you see him turn pale you must cut and
run"
Fudge" snapped Colonel Mosby; "a
man who turns pale has no business go,
ing into battle"
"Why not?"
Because he's a coward, SIR"
Then / treated him to the other chest
nut about the Duke of Wellington, who
pointed to CHASTITY faced young officer
marching past with head up toward the
field of Waterloo, and said: There
goes brave man. He knows his
danger, but goes to meet it." I also
stated the fact that had seen men in
mining camps go into shooting scrapes
white as sheets, but nevertheless fight
ooolly and like the very deuce.
"PahP was all Mosby said, and giving
me look which might have meant that
he suspected the color Of my liver he
wheeled and left me. But he came
back presently and talked Of other
things, to show that he forgave me.

bird in Cage.
Mrs. Olive Thorne Miller has q very
amusing story of mischievous black
! bird in Youths Companion. She says:
"A serious trouble in the blackbird' 9
life with nee was t0at / would not let
him spatter the wallpaper with the
food and water he was always flinglng
about as though that was the only use
he had for them" Behind his cage I
fastened up sheet of stiff buff wrap
ping paper, and to tear that to bits was
the task he set himself. He was faith
ful worker, | must admit. First he
hammered the paper with his stout yell
low beak thine picked hole in 1t, and
then, with the same useful bill, he
seized the edge and pulled and tugged
till he tore it,
when he could get piece of he was
happy. He took it into the cage. and
visited upon that bit his hatred of the
whole sheet. He beat it so rapidly that
it sounded like the roll of small drum;
he flung it about, he scraped 1t on the
floor, and never rested till ut was re-
duced to scraps or dropped out Of the
cage.
when put his house in order for the
day, always gave him piece of fresh
apple, wedged in between two wires,
where hoped it would stay for him to
pick at; but the blackbirdt had other
designs upon the apple. He wanted it
to play with. Faithfully he pushed,
and pulled, and twisted till he got the
piece out, and then took it down for a
mad frolic. He flung it from side to side;
he would snatch at it, and instantly
spring up on the side of the cage and
hold on to the wires, looking scared out
OF his wits, as If it had bitten him. Then
he would go down and worry It again.
Sometimes, lifting one wing, he
would pounce upon the bit of apple as if
1t were savage enemy and must be
destroyed, and in a second bound up on
the middle perch as though he expected
to be murdered instantly.
Through all these performances he
kept up the sweet, low singing. Every
thing he did was in jerzY way, and /
never could guess what would come next.
"He appeared to rack his brain to
think of new things to do, and if every
thing else failed, he would dash his
gravel out over the carpet. have even
seen him thrust his naughty head
between the wires and drop out beal1-
full of mocking-bird food.
after this fashion he carried on all
winter, and though I did not particularly
enjoy him as bird, as clown in cage,
an entertainer for dull hour. he was
the funniest ever saw in feathers

California Election.

Telegraph reports up to the 6th have been received from more than one-hau the precincts In California outside of San Francisco and from about two-thirds ol the precincts in this city. These returns give Markham. for Governor, more than 10000 plurality over Pond and show that the Republicans carried the entire State tlcket by generally similar plurality.
 The entire Republican ticket in this city with the exception of one minor office, is undoubtedly elected by plu- rality ranging from few hundred to 4000 Returns from the precincts heard from give Sanderson, R., for Mayor, 6 plurality of 2500 over O'Donnell, L
 There seems to be no doubt tbab the Republicans have elected five cut of the six Congressrnen in the State, and the indications are that the entire Cougres- si0nal delegation will be Republican though the contest in the First District is close. Returns from a little less than one-half the precincts in the First Dis trict show that Barhan, R., Is leading by ll6 votes.
 The Legislature, which will elect g United States Senator, will have large Republican majority in both branches The indications are that the Democrats nave eie9ted DuG UHfe6 Ot tle twenty Assemblymen, and that the five Senators from San Francisco will be all Repnbli- cans.

The Globe Road.

Supervisor E. W. Childs and party re- turned last Saturday evening from their examination of the route for the proposed wagon road to Globe. They made a very thorough and exhaustive inspection of the rough and mountainous country to be penetrated and succeeded in finding a route over which a splendid road can be built with grade not exceeding three and half degrees at the highest places.
 The road selected starts from Florence over the old road to the Buttes to point not far from the stone cabin, where it bends somewhat to the south over the open country and swings back to the Gila river six miles above, where bridge is necessary.
 Crossing the river northeasterly course is taken to Mineral Creek, near Thomas Haley's house, thence along the mountain side to and over the summit by an easy grade to point near the old Mineral Creek mill which is very close to the Gila county line and beyond which no difficult ties exist in the way of road construction.
 This route gives good, hard, noun tain road that can be traversed at any and all seasons without danger of wash -suts or heavy mud, and it makes the en- tire distance between Globe and Casa Grande trihe under eighty-fve miles.
 The estimate of cost made by county surveyor Colton is about $30000, inelud ing a substantial bridge across the river and the making of roadway fully adapted to the requirements of the heavy freighting trains that are expected tc travel oyerit

Facts About Gold.
Popular Science News.

Popular Science News.
 Pure gold is so soft that it would soon be worn away by use, and it is always al- loved with a varying proportion of cop per or silver, usually about one-tenth. Pure gold is said to be twenty-four car ats. Thus, eighteen carat gold contains eighteen parts of the pure metal in twenty-four, or, Is three quarters pure. Many cheap alloys of base metals can be made which very strongly resemble gold in color and luster; but, in the absence of a complete chemical test, the high specif- ic gravity of gold (193l is the best test of its purity, though this has been ingen- iously initiated by covering the heavy but cheaper metal, platinum, with layer of gold. Iron pyrites and other yellow ish minerals are constantly being mis- taken for gold by inexperienced persons, much to their disappointment, but a very simple specimen Is really the true metal. Gold is very sectile-that is, 1t can be cut and shaved with knife like piece of wood or horn; while pyrites and other worthless minerals will crumble under the knife blade like lump of su- gar. If any reader of this article ever finds yeliowish mineral which can be cut without crumbling, 1t Is worth more thorough test; otherwise he may as well save himself unnecessary trouble and disappointment. Very few chemicals have any effect on gold. Selenic acid will dissolve 1t, but few chemists have ever seen this very rare substance. A mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids (aqua regia) will also dissolve it, forming chloride of gold; and so will solution of chlorine gas in water. In both of these liquids peculiarly active form of chlor- inc, known as nascent chlorine, is present, which probably unites directly with the metal. Gold, like all the noble metals, Is unchanged by heating in the air. Its OK ides can be obtained by chemical reac- tions, but they are very unstable, and easily reduced back to the metal The chloride above referred to is the only salt of any practical importance, and is used to produce the beautiful purple of Cas- sins, a compound cf-tiu sn1- es4--e If z.n= certain composition, but yielding a mag nificent ruby color when melted into glass. 4 hundredth of grain of gold will deep- ly color cubic inch of glass. The most extensive use of the chloride Is, however, in photography, where it Is used to "tone" or color prints on silYered paper. This darkening of the prints IS due to the de- composition of the salt and the deposition Ill the picture of finely divided metallic gold, which not only gives it the desired color but renders the image very per manent. By beating out between pieces of membrane, gold may be formed into leaves of such thinness that 2S2.O0O of them will only make a pile l inch in height. A single ounce of gold may thus be spread over 100 square feet. In the manufacture of gold thread for embroid- cry, cylinder of silver is covered with gold and afterward drawn out into wire. In this way 6 ounces of gold have made to yield over 200 miles of gilt wire. Even at this exi irene tenuity the coating is perfect, and does not rust or tarnish
