-. Lincoln, the LAWYER.

"Yes, we can doubtless gain YOU case
for you,' said Abraham Lincoln to a
man anxious to retain him: Eve can set
a whole neighborhood at l~oggerheads;
we can distress a widowed mother and
her six fatherless children and thereby
get for you six hundred dollars to which
you seem to have a legal claim, but
which rightfully belongs. it appear to
me. to the oma and her children.
"lon must remember" continued
Mr.. Lincoln, shat some things legally
right are not morally right. We shall
not take your case, but will give you a
little advice for which we will charge
you nothing. louseem to be a spright-
ly, energetic man; we would advise
you to. try your hand at making six
hundred dollars in some other way"
MI. Herndon, for twenty years Mr..
Llncoln's law partner, and now his BIZ
ographer, says that he once wrote to
one OF their clients, Il do not think
there is the least use of doing anything
more with your lawsuit. I not only do
not think you are sure TO gain it, but 1
do think you are sure to lose it. There
fore the sooner it ends the better"
II see that you've been suing some
of my clients, and I've come down to
talk with you about it," he said one day
to a lawyer, who had brought suit to
enforce the specific performance of a
contract.
Upon seeing the evidence to be pre-
scented. Nj. Lincold said, "Your client
is Justly entitled TO a decree, and I
shall so represent it to the court for it
is against my principles to contest a
clear matter of right" Some lawyers
would have contested the case until the
value of the farm was consumed by the
costs of litigation.
Mr.. Lincoln was a great lawyer when
convinced Of the justice of the cause be,
advocated. In trying q case, where
most lawyers would object he would say
he "reckoned" it would be fair to admit
the truth to be so-and-so. When he did
object to the court, and had heard his
objection answered. he would say.
well, / reckon / must be wrong"
But when the case ended, says one of
Mr.. Lincoln's colleagues at the bar,
the adversary would see that what Mr..
Lincoln had been SO. blandly giving
away was simply what he could not
keep. He might yield six points, but
by adhering to the seventh, on which
the whole case rested, he retained every
thirg that would help win the cause.

Men Without Names.

In a work upon the prisons of Siberia,
NJ. Edgar Boulangie1, a French engi-
neer. who spent a long time in the SER
vice Of the Trans-Caspian Railway, de-
scribes a strange class of beingsin that
country. They are the men who do not
know who they are.
No doubt many of these men merely
assume this ignorance, in order to mys-
tify the officials. but their identity is in
many eases totally unknown to the a1l-
thorities and all their acquaintance.
The prison of Alexandrovsk, NJ.
Boulangier says, contains several Of
these singular people. Now and then.
driven by hunger, n vagabond comes
to the prison door and asks to be
taken in.
II have come to deliver myself up"
says the vagabond.
"For what reason? Who are you?"
II don't know"
Don't know? What's your name?'
II have forgotten it: it was so long
ago."
Where is your passport?"
Il have none"
"Then you are a Jrodidga-a vaga-
bond; YOU have escaped from prison.
What crime were you in for?"
Il have forgotten"
Nothing more definite can be got out
of him. Sometimes these vagabond
exiles accuse themselves of crimes that
they have not committed, in order to
make interesting journeys at the ex-
pense of the government. Frequently
their imposture is detected after they
have been transported long distances,
but who they really are the authorities
seldom ascertain They are kept under
surveillance, and NJ. Boulangier is of
opinion that they sometimes really for
get what their names are.

The New Evolution.

Prot. W. K. Brooks, Of Johns Hopkins
university, in q recent lecture on aEmbry-
olcgy or Evolution" proved to the salts
faction Of his audience, by means Of unin-
telligible names and mysterious dia-
grams, that a man is q direct descendant
Of the fish. Prof. Brooks is a ben,
factor. When some one shall catch by
the tail our alleged but most unsatisfactory
ancestor, the ape, and rid us Of that stain
upon onr escutcheon, we should become a
proud people. Everybody wants to believe
IN evolution, but human nature rebels at
the ape. Resolve us back still further;
make fishes the starting point. or the living
sea fowers; give US the for a
grandmother. even reduce us to a monad,
and science will swing on unhampered by
this universal protest.
VI course the ape must be encountered
somewhere on the line, but it were better
to begin at the beginning and skip the in
termediate links than to have a certain alli-
ance with t. use caricatures of men contin-
uallythrust upon US. Monkeys, the very
embodiment of the weak side of humanity,
are unpleasantly suggestive of facts. In
the pranks of a frisky old baboon there is
too much external evidence to suit the
average man.
With fishes for ancestors man may con.
tinue not only to evolute, but to retro
spect without detriment to his dignity. BY
all means elect the jelly fish and turn the
monkey out.

There still remains to be disposed of sl5. 1903.
All this, in one small city of 10000 Inhabitants,
taken annually from the legitimate channels
of trade, and spent for worse than nothing. The
effect upon the markets can easily be seen. 1t
dinlinishes consumption, while at the same
time by forcing women and children into mills
and factories 1t increases production aud stag
nation, and re iuced wages liz the result.
.. One of the complicating factors in tho
wage and labor problem is u lack OF sufficient
money in circulation, while at the same time
there is a great surplus in the Government
vaults. The last internal revenue report shows
that during the year ending June 30, 1888, the
liquor traffic had collected from the people, as
Internal revenue, S92, $50 1881. e9. This money is

It is by the aid of the saloon that monopolists

sented us some strange Things to be-
leve: Noted beauties have been men
toned as having taken baths OF wine,
Of asses milk, of milk and honey, and
many other things to preserve their
charms.
It is said by historians that some Of
the renowned beauties bathed in dew,
collected by slaves, and others again
in rain water, and sc on through all the
possible things in creation. 1t is even
related Of one great beauty that she
was bathed every day in fresh bull
locks blood while it was yet warm.
1t would occupy the whole LEDGER
to recount the stories current of the
ridiculous ideas held by the ancients as
to different means to preserve or re-
store their charms, and few Of them
would be of service in the light Of sci
ence.
The most of the so-called cosmetics,
from the very beginning of the use Of
them, were based upon poisonous sub
stances, just as they are to-day, and
we read in a book on Egypt that a
paste made of an arsenical preparation
was used over four thousand years
ago, and from that time to the present
day women have been using all kinds
of preparations offered for sale by
constituencies persons, the most Of
them made of most dangerous min
erals.
It would be a curious study to show
i'll what beauty consists, according to
different ideas, in different countries,
though, according to their lights, the
women in each do the most they can to
render themselves attractive, and in
all countries women have, and always
will, rely upon the use Of cosmetics
of one kind or another to enhance
their charms or conceal the ravages of
time.
To impress upon those who may read
this series OF articles the fact that they
are taking their lives, even, into their
hands, to say nothing of eventually
running whatever good looks they had
in the beginning, we shall tell them
something Of the materials which enter
into the compromising of the various
preparations now in the market, and
which are said lby the makers) to be
entirely harmless.
All of the so-called creams, and lily
balms, and such like liquids, are of ne
cessity based upon white lead, and are,
beyond measure, injurious to health
and beauty. The commonest kind of
fake white is generally used in their
manufacture, and what is in one bottle,
tor which the buyer pays from Is cents
to s., costs but the fraction of a penny.
Rose-water, diluted with pure water,
fills the rest of the bottle The bottle
must be well shaken before using, as
the lead settles to the bottom, and the
water then takes the appearance of
cream, which is applied to the face
with a sponge, which is exactly the
same thing as painting a door ora wall,
in effect, and u dead white is the re-
suit, which is unnatural and ugly.
Some of them have 4 drop or two OF
cocllineal added, which gives a so-called
flesh tint, which is as glaring as the
white in its NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
