President Linooln,s Pew.

About 10 years ago the pew in which
Abraham Lincoln had sat while living
in Washington was removed from the
church where he had worshiped and
put up in the adjoining Sunday school
room. Now the church trustees have
voted to restore the pew and to mark it
with silver tablet suitably inscribed.
This reminds an old Washingtonian, who
attended the same church, of story.
He says that many of those who had
seats near Mr.. Lincoln's used to try to
fill their own pews 50 that they might
be invited into that of the president.
Zone person in particular call to mind
now" he continued. 'sHe never seemed
happy until his pew was filed, for Mr..
Lincoln's great hospitality sought him
out.
HE would wait out in the vestibule
and direct the old colored sexton to fill
his pew. Then just before the service
began he would walkup the aisle in such
an innocent way until opposite Lincoln's
pew. Then he'd pause and look around
as IL to beg some one to tske pity on
him, and right there the president would
rise, reach out that long arm, draw him
up and push him into the pew, almost
seating him, in hissown Innocent kind

pended. Nevertheless many scientists
insist that the farmer is now rapidly
falling behind other classes, and at the
meeting of this association for 1891 at
Washington Professor Edmund J. James
of the University of Pennsylvania read
a paper before the economic section
which excited much discussion. Pro-
fessor James was born in 1855 at Jack
sonville, Ills, and studied in many
schools, taking the degree of doctor of
philosophy at Halle, Germany, in 1877
an extraordinary honor for one SO young.
In 1888 he took the chair of public
finance and administration in the Whar-
ton school of economy, University of
Pennsylvania.
There was much surprise therefore
when he took ground in favor of the
farmers political organizations, main
tanned that in spite of many blunders
they would accomplish good and broad
ly insisted that the present politico-
economical system Of the United States
was distinctly unfavorable to the farm
er. He advocated a radical change in
railroad management and systems of
taxation, specifying the tariff and de-
claring that "the farmer has real and
serious grievance" Such sentiments
from Pennsylvania naturally excited
surprise, and the discussion has since
been broadened. Professor James de-
clared that American farmers must
cease to compete with the ryots of India
and poems of South America by raising
wheat and cotton and must go into
lines Of production where his superior
intelligence and freedom will be of real
and great advantage. And to this end
the scientists at Madison will doubtless
offer some suggestions.
1t may also interest common people to
know that the scientists are by no means
of one mind on the money question or
the SO called social questions, or even on
things more purely scientific, and that
in religion they range through all the
grades Of belief and unbelief, from the
most pronounced hyper-Calvinism to
blank agnosticism and dogmatic mate
,rialism. At Washington, in 1891, Ed
ward Atkinson's paper entitled ''Free
Coinage. Why Not?" was read by a sec
rotary, and DIR. E. T. Peters advocated
bimetallism in ratio to be agreed upon
by the United States land other silver
using coming nations" A really novel
and suggestive point in his paper was
that many of the old arguments against
binetsllism are now absolute, rendered
so by the growth Of modern commerce,
and that if one of the metals does go out
Of this country that will cheaper it else
where, appreciate the other, increase the
production Of one and decrease that Of
the other. and thus restore the parity.

graduation that so many of the papers
are ON subjects of great practical i'm
portance, and it is especially noteworthy
that the interests of the farmer are so
much thought of. Indeed the American
farmer just now seems to be very much
in it, both with scientists and politicians.
One of the great questions of the day,
and incidentally for the association, is
concerning the aid which science has
given and can give to the farmer.

SCIENCE HALL, WISCONSIN UNIVERSITY.
It is scarcely necessary to add that
this excited very spirited discussion,
and in view Of recent developments it is
tolerably certain that any remarks on
silver at Madison will call out views of
interest even to the unscientifc. Re
hgion is by common consent ignored in
these meetings. In truth, if one may
judge from the list SO far given out,
there are very few men in the associa-
ton to whom religious beliefs seem of
prime Importance. Questions of morals
and of social systems involving practical
morals are, however, very freely dis
cussed, and at the Washington session
Mrs. Anita Newcomb Nc Gee read before
the anthropologicai section very inter-
esting paper on the John Humphrey
Noyes experiments in stirpiculture at
Oneida, N. Y.
Mrs. MCGEE had every detail Of the
Oneida community's doctrine and prac-
tice in fine detail, and, what is of more
Importance, she had the results, for she
has traced the subsequent career of ev-
cry child born under the community
system. Of the whole number five died at
birth, and one proved an imbecile. The
rest, says Mrs. MCGEE, are above the
average of children, and of all the lot but
one has died. Of the boys, 10 are clerks
and foremen, one is musician of emil
hence, two are studying law and medi-
cine, others are too young to have voca-
tions, and only one is mechanic. The
girls are just fair average And of all
these children but one believes in the per-
fectionist doctrine. So, Mrs. MCGEE con-
cludes, stirpiculture might have good
results if But mankind simply will
not have it, and SO it need not be dis
cussed.
In all America the association could
not have selected nicer place for an
August session than Madison. The hot
test weather will then be past, and in
that region the days will be just warm
enough and the nights deliciously cool
and bracing. In truth, Madison has
many claims to be considered a summer
resort for health and pleasure. 1t has
above all things what every bit of land
scape needs to please the eye-plenty of
crystal water. Surrounded by a belt of
lovely lakes, with streets overarched by
fine trees, with many elegant residences
and ample hotel accommodations, it is
the ideal place for scientific association.
The meetings of the association will
be held in Library hall of the state uni
versity, which is beautifully located on
the border Of one of the lakes. Science
hall, which is~fnely equipped, will natu-
rally attract the interest of the scientists,
and in it a number of the sessions will
probably be held.
Madison has a literary atmosphere, too.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox was born and
raised in the vicinity and is proud of it.
Many other poets not quite SO noted are
Madisonians, among them Charles Noble
Gregory, Mrs. Louise Phillips, Ella A.
Giles, Elva Bryant, Mrs. Aubertine
Woodward Moore and Others All these
ere somewhat known beyond the state
line. Indeed there is that in the sur
roundings of Madison which tends to ex-
cite and draw out all the poetry and
sentiment which might elsewhere remain
latent. j. Fl. BEADLE.
