Abraham Lincoln

When leaving his home at Springfe Id
Ill.,, 10 be inaugurated as president oil
the United States, made a farewell adj
dress to his old friends and neighbors,
IN which he said, "Neighbors, give your
boys y chance"
These words come with as much force
today as they did thirty years ago.
How give them this chance?
Up In the northwest Is u great en-
plre waiting for young and sturdy fell
lows to come and develop 1t and "grow
up with the country" All over this
broad land are the young fellows, the
boys that Lincoln referred to, seeking
to better their condition and get on Ia
life.
Here is their chance.
The country referred to lies along the
Northern Pacific railroad. Here you
can find pretty much anything you
want. In Minnesota, and in toe Red
river val ey of North Dakota, the finest
of prairie lands fitted for wheat and
grain, or as we'll tor diversified farm
ing. In Western North Dakota and
Montana are stock ranges hmltless in
extent. clothed with the most nutritious
of grasses.
If fruit farming region is wanted
there is the whole state of Washington
to select from.
As for scenic delights, the Northern
Pacific railroad passes through coun-
try unparalleled. In crossing the
Rocky, Bitter Root and Cascade noun
tains the greatest scenery to be seen in
the United States from car windows is
found. The wonderful bad lands, won
derful in graceful form and glowing
color, are poem. Lakes Pend d 'Oreille
and C9ur d'Alene are alone worthy Of
a trans-contlnental trip, while they are
the fisherman Ultima Thule. The ride
along Clark's Fork OF the Columbia
river is daylight dream. To cap the
climax, this is the only way to reach
the far famed Yellowstone Park.
To reach and see all this the North
ern Pacific railroad furnish trains and
service of unsurpassed excellence. The
most approved and comfortable palace
sleeping cars; the best dining cars that
can be made; Pullman tourist cars good
for both first and second class passen.
gers; easy riding day coaches, with bag.
gage, express and postal cars, all drawn
by powerful Bald WIN locomotives, make
train fit for royalty itself.
Those seeking for new homes should
take this train and go and spy out the
land. To be prepared, write to

CUTTING The Hair.
Curious Ways of Doing 1t in Various
Countries.

Curious Ways of Doing 1t in Various
Countries.
The development of the beard has
been a matter of no small Importance,
and the cropping of Louis Wis chin
brought on three centuries of bloodshed.
Pedro w., of Aragon (1331), found him
self compelled to prohibit his Catalonian
subjects from wearing false boards, but
the most singular substitute was the
golden boards worn by the kings of
Persia The kings of France of the first
dynasty wore boards entwined with
gold threads.
The custom of shaving the beard was
enforced by Alexander of Macedon for
practical end. The beard was u source
of trouble to Peter the Great. who,
simultaneously with the introduction
of his great reforms in Russia, tried to
induce his people to initiate the shaving
nations. TO the Russian of olden times
the beard was a symbol of liberty.
In olden times, when every part of
the body had it's price. the beard was
valued at twenty shillings and the loss
of a leg was estimated at twelve shil-
lings.
England, and the sheriff of Canterbury
paid three shillings and four pence for
wearing a beard. In the first year of
Elizabeth's reign every beard of above a
fortnights growth was taxed three
shillings and six pence, but the law was
too absurd TO be enforced. Peter the
Great imposed a tax of ruble upon
boards, but it was soon Cancelled.
In lS4l George G. Radger, secretary of
the navy issued Il general order, in
which was included his celebrated in
structions: 'The hair of all persons be-
longing to the navy is to be kept short
and no part of the beard is to be worn
long excepting the whiskers. which
shall not descend more than one inch
below the tip of the ear and thence in u
line toward the corners of the month"
These were nicltnamed Badger whis-
kers.'
In Europe and portion of Asia boards
prevail until we go beyond India. when
gradually boards disappear, as in the
case with the Chinese, Japanese and
SiameSe.
The Siamese have a quaint and pic
turesque custom, which is celebrated in
every family pretending to wealth and
fashion when child becomes of age. of
cutting the topknot. This topl<not is IL
round parch of hair allowed to grow on
the top of the head while the rest of the
head is closely shaved. 1t is worn until
the boy is to become in measure indie
pendent, or in the case of girls till their
marriageable age begins to draw near.
The date is regulated by the fancy of
the family soothsayer, and ranges from
nine, eleven and thirteen years.-Chi-
cago Mail.

THE SINGING IN Goo's-AoRs

Out yondcr in the moonlight, wherein Gods
Acre lies,
Go angels walking to and fro, singing their lul-
labias;
Their radiant wings are folded and their eyes
are bended low,
AS they sing among the beds whereon the flow.
ers delight to grow;
"Sleep, oh, sleep
The Shepherd guardeth His sheep!
Fast spoedeth the night away,
Soon cometh the glorious day.
Sleep weary ones, while yo may
Sleep OH sleepi"
The flowers within God's-Acre see that fair and
wondrous sight
And hear the angels singing TO the sleepers
through the night;
And, 10! throughout the hours OF day those gen.
tic flowers prolong
The music Of the angels IN that tender slumber'
song!
Sleep oh, sleepl
The Shepherd ioveth His sheepl
He guardeth His flock the best
Hath folded them to His loving breast
So, sleep we now and take your rest
Sleep, oh, sleep!"
From angel and from flower the years have
learned that soothing song,
And with its heavenly music speed the days and
nights along:
So, through all time, whose fight the Shepherds s
vigils glorify,
God'sAcrc slumbereth in the grace Of that sweet
lullaby:
Sleep, oh, sleep!
The Shepherd loveth His sheepl
Fast speedCth the night away
Soon comcth the glorious day:
Sleep, weary ones, while ye may
Sleep OH sleep!"
Eugene Field, in Ladies Home journal.
