port, said: 1T was during Lincoln's first
administration, while / was in congress,
that the question of the appointment of a
superintendent of the mint in this city

place was old Dave Maltby. One day a
messenger came into the house and in
formed me that the president wished to
see me at once. l hurried to his office, and
when / entered he informed me that he
was considering the fitness of the various
applicants for superintendent of the mint.
Now, here is Dave Maltby,' he said,
and l want TO ask you to tell me candidly
if you consider him fitted for the piace?'
without hesitating l replied: Mr.
President, Maltby is man of unquestioned
integrity, but hardly the man for that
place
" Yes (musingly), Dave Maltby is an
honest man. knew him as boy, but /
never discovered anything in him.
Mr.. Lincoln hesitated for a moment
and his face assumed more than usually
grave expression. He suddenly looked up,

Maltby did, but some way or another am

4 Neat WAY of Serving Toast,

Very few people understand how to
make nice cream toast Melt two ounces
of butter in one quart of milk; add one
tablespoonful of -four wet with a little cold
milk and beaten first into half cupful of
the hot milk before being added to the re-
mainder. Finally, stir into the mixture
two eggs, beating them into little hot
milk first. Strain the cream through a
gravy strainer Return it to the stove and
beat it carefully while it comes again to
the boiling point and thickens. Dip thin
slices of well Drowned toast in this cream
and send them to the table il covered
dish with the remaining cream in a sepa-
rate bowl. Put a ladle of the cream from
the bowl over each slice of toast as it is
served.-New York Tribune.

About Girls Names

This matter of given names is, after all,
one that has in all ages been regulated by
the caprice of individuals. Many of our fem
mime Christian names, in the best repute,
were diminutives to begin with. Such are
Alice, Elsie, Eveline, Evelyn, Amy, Nancy,
Nina, Ellen, Ella, Nora, Mabel, Marjorie,
Maud: every one is a diminutive or a con-
traction of another name. Then there are
some other good old fashioned pet names
which were in use as serious given names
in New England before any member of the
school committee was born, such as Betsey,
Peggy and Patty.
The Listener knew of certain lady who
had all through her girlhood and early
womanhood been called Patty. She dis
liked diminutives, and after her marriage
always wrote her name Martha But after
her death a relative Glanced upon the old
family Bible lit had passed into a collateral
branch of the family, and there found
that the lady's father, in his own we'll
known hand, had there written down her
name, at the time it was bestowed upon
her, Patty and nothing more Many girls
have been christened Betsy aud Nancy.
Where shall we draw the line?-Boston

A Ten Mile Walk Daily.

Walking is real pleasure, though, per
haps, not of the very acute kind. 1t
is in the same case with health. You
don't realize how excellent a faculty it is
until you have lost the exercise of it. Ask
a equity man ora lame man what he thinks
of it. You may then be astonished to learn
what a valuable power still remains at
your disposal
Some one, when he was asked the secret
of his longevity, is said to have replied:
Eat one meal day, rise at all the year
round never be out of bed at midnight,
think of nothing in particular unless you
are forced, and walk ten miles every day
of your life"
He may have been a wag, this old gentle
man; but otherwise, if he had truly acted
upon his own recipe for long life, seeing
that he was then in his ninetieth year, he
must have had the blessed privilege of or
dering his days as he pleased. Most of us,
happily or not, are forced to think good
deal daily, and upon subjects that are of
very particular Importance. And most of
us have inherited from our inconsiderate
sires a lamentable habit-not easy to be
controlled-of eating at least three meals a
day. without mention of trifies, which,
perhaps, represent fourth.
However, for one allow that the old
gentleman was very wise to recommend a
ten mile walk once in twentyfOur hours.
1t is the one item in his programme that
attempt to practice in my own mortal ca
reer. BE the day fine or be it wet, go
forth to face it, reckless of umbrella. 1t
seems somewhat idiotic, willingly admit.
At first thought it so, but habit has now
endeared the custom TO me, and | would as
soon almost sacrifice my dinner as my two
or three hours constitutional.
OF course such a walk in town would be
a monstrous toll. y pavement is rs fatigu-
ing as the surface of mother earth itself is
the contrary when trodden in moderation.
! There is a sort of electric force that seems
to ascend through the clods and disperse
itself by the channels of ones veins all
over the body. 1t may be fancy, or it may
be the mere pleasure of feeling the blood
in active movement. Anyhow, that is the
idea it suggests.-All the Year Round.

THE FARMER IN POLITICS.

The OK experience Of farmers in the o n
troll Of legislative bodies the past three
months has been disappointing to them.
In Kansas the only thing of consequence
accomplished was the defeat Of Ingalls,.
True, the senate Of that assembly had a
a republican majority, but the work
done by the house was limited, and that
was badly done. Speaker Elder, who
seems to have been about the only man
possessed of a;clear idea of the business
in hand, wound up in great disgust and
chagrin, and in bitterness lamented the
session. All through the life of the body
it's work was unsystematically accom-
plished, with precious little regard for
method or precedent. 1t may conf
IDENTIFY be said nothing was accom-
plished.
In Nebraska the session is almost at
an end and it's work is in a chaotic state,
but few bills having been passed and
those of minor Importance. In order to
expedite business during the remainder
of the session the house has adopted
a resolution to meet daily at 6:30 a. M,
and now may be seer the bucollc men,
Der vending his way toward the state
house about the hour when the alert
chicken descends from it's restful perch.
In the two Dakotas the farmers econ.
plished little if any more than in the
other states mentioned.
There is asufficient explanation of this
result. The farmer is by nature and
education unframed in the ways of law.
making. He generally knows what he
wants in the line of legislation, but in
the formulation of bills and the applica
ton of means to secure their passage he
is not skilled. A long process Of train
ing or special adoption in these lines il
essential to the successful legislator. Az
a constituent member the farmer is use
full in a legislative body, but as a con
trolling factor he falls far short of the
full stature of Scion.
