Rutledge lie saw
the happy pair strolling through the woods
about old Salem or boating on the river, or
lingering long over the bucket of water
which Lincoln drew from the well for Ann.
He offered what comfort he could to his
friend when poor Ann died, and Encoln's
great heart nearly broke,
After Ann died." says Uncle Billy, "on
stormy nights, when the wind blew the
rain against the roof, Abe would set thar
in the grocery, his elbows on his knees, his
face in his hands, an the tears runnin'
through his fingers. hated to see him
feel so bad, an I'd say, Abe, don't cry;' an
he'd look up an say, Il can't help it, Bill,
the rains a-fallin' on her."
Green saw his friend rise in greatness
and favor with the people until he was
elected president of the nation At Lin
coins first inaugural banquet Green sat at
the table on the presidents left, with the
dignifed secretary, Seward, on his right
Lincoln presented the two men to each
other, saying, Secretary Seward, this is
Mr.. Green, of Illinois" Seward bowed
stiffly, when Lincoln exclaimed: ooh, get
up, Seward, and shake hands with Green
He's the man that taught me my gram
mar"
Uncle Billy delights to tell this story, and
adds: "The idee of my teachin' Abe Lin
coin anything. Why let me tell you that
when he got through with that grammar
he used to study he knowed more grammar
than the man that wrote the book. This
was Abe's greatness-that when he knew
a thing he knew it better than anybody,
an he could tell it to the most ignorant
man so he'd know all about it,"

DIR. Thomas Taylor, microscopic Of the
United States department of agriculture,
proposes the following new method of de-
tecting oleo in butter: Dissolve in twenty
cubic centimeters of petroleum benzine i40
grains of mixture Of oleo and butter. Heat
slightly to secure perfect solution of the
fats. Cassine and animal tissues may be
readily removed by passing the liquid
while warm through fine muslin. Fill a
test tube with the solution and place in
ice water. In about twenty minutes the
oleo fats will separate from the butter fat
and fall TO the bottom Of the tube, being in
soluble in cold benzine, while the butter
fat will remain in solution in the benzine.
Separate the oleo fat from the liquid but
ter fat by filtration. The fat recovered
may be solidihed by mechanical pressure,
placing it between several layers of bibu-
lous paper 70 absorb the remaining ben
zine. after which the sheet Of solid oleo
may be removed from the paper with a
palette knife. The butter may be recov-
cred by evaporating the benzine by means
of a sand bath-New York Telegram.

Naturalists have long been acquainted
with those enterprising sea urchins which
cut their way into hard rocks. Urchins
provided with boring apparatus have
been found on the shores of France, Eng
land, Algeria, the Azores, the India isl
ands, California, Panama, Australia, Maui
rltlus and recently on the island of Grand
Manan, N. b. 1t seems that they share
their talent with some of the snails. The
snails, OF course, bore rocks out of water.
block of compact, blackish gray lime
stone was recently sent from Constantine
to the Academy of Sciences in Paris. The
stone was riddled with hemispherical per-
forations. At the end of each of these
small arched passages slept snail, a Helix
aspersa.
The specimen was put in the museum
gallery Of geology in October. The jour
ney from Algeria had not disturbed its
tenants, and they passed quiet winter.
One day in May while the stone was being
sketched they suddenly reused themselves,
came out and would have crawled away
had they not been captured.
A scientist decided the question as to
whether they secreted an acid which cor
roded the stone, or cut their way by means
of hard, sharp structures in the feet, in this
way. He killed a snail by holding thunder
water, took it from its shell and put it into
sulphuric acid. All the animal substance
of the snail was rapidly carbonized and dis
solved by the acid. This was washed away
with water, and hard, insoluble sub
stance was left.
The hard, irregular grains were evident
ly flint. There was of course " indication
as to where in the body of the snail they
had been, but it is reasonable to suppos,
that they composed the structure by which
he had bored holes in the limestone

Of Greenvilie. The driver, after striking
the bell 10 go ahead, tried several times to
coax the animal forward without avail.
Finding he could not have his way be
concluded to let the horse have his; 50
turning the horses round he attached

that terminus Of the road in front of the
Wauregan house. They were then taken
to the Greenvlle end of the car and given
another start. They were given a free rein,
and passed the Universalist church at a.

A prominent man in yachting circles re-
Gently deceased is George Lee Schuyler,
who passed away suddenly the other morn
ing in his stateroom on the Electra, the
boat at the time being anchored of New
London, Conn. Mr.. Schuyler was born in
1911, and in 1874, with others, founded the
New York Yacht club Besides being the
oldest member of that organization lac was
also the sole surviving owner Of the IA
nous old schooner yacht America, which
won the Royal Yacht Squadron cup-now
known as the Americas cup-at the Cowes
regatta Of Aug. %, 1851, de eating eighteen
crack British craft in that struggle The
cup thus won became the absolute proper

c. Stevens, Hamilton Wilkes, Geo &c l..
SCHUYLER, James Hamilton, j. b. Tinlay
and Edwin 4. Stevens On July s, 1857,
they transferred it TO the New York Yacht
club as a perpetual challenge cup, for
which any organized yacht club Of any ma
ton might compete. In December, lsS2,
the cup was returned to Mr.. Schuyler by
the club, who, in 1883, returned il under
new conditions to the club. In 1887 the
cup was again returned TO Mr. Schuyler,
who made out a third deed of gift, under
which the club now holds the cup. With
in the last few months it had been suggest
ed that the cup should once more be re-
turned TO Mr.. Schuyler so that another
deed of gift might be drawn up, which
would satisfy every one. His death ends
this controversy, however, as the English
must now race for the cup under the exist
ing conditions or not at all.
