LincoIn,s EARLY Social Life.

There was, of course, a rough gallan-
try among the young people; and Lin

made the brightest fire; then, Of how,
Sitting around" it, watching the way

their fortunes. He helped pare apples,
shell corn and crack nuts. He took the
girls to meetin' and to spellin' school,
although he was not often allowed to
take part in the spelling atch. for the
one who "chose first" always chose
ABE Lincoln" and that was equiva-
lent to winning, as the others knew
that she would stand up the longest"
The nearest approach to sentiment
at this time of which we know is o
story he once told to an acquaintance
in Springfield. 1t was rainy day.
and he was sitting with his feet on the
wood-sill, his eyes on the street, watch

and said:

Administrator OF Crown Domains In
the government of TlAis, has laid be-
fore the ministry an urgent representa-
ton on the subject, and requests that
the shooting or sharing OF pheasants in
all Crown forests, private forests, and
communal forests in the Caucasus be
absolutely prohibited for period OF
five years. AS a sort of compensation
to sportsmen and others for this prohi-
bition, NJ. Gamrelikoff recommends that
the pursuit of wild boar be permitted
all the year round, as the steadily in
creasing numbers of these beasts are
productive of much damage to farms
and vineyards.

PLEASANT READING.

There is much pleasant reading for
Republicans in the election returns
which we print this morning. 1t is evil
dent that the general disgust with any
thing and everything labeled Demo-
cratic" has not yet passed away. In
deed, it seems to have increased and
become active in places where it was
not expected to show itself. The re-
ing to all who want to see the country
freed from the burden of Democratic
incapacity and misrule. The Demo-
it an "off year" 1t is decidedly off, for
them.

THE ENLARGED MARKET.

When the free traders were making
promises they were particularly profuse
in their promises to the poor, oppressed
farmer. They told him that they would
cheaper the things he had to buy and
enlarge his market for the things he had
to sell. This was just what he wanted
and he has been waiting as patiently
as he could for the fulfillment of the
fine promises that were so freely made,
Thus far he has not found the pot OF
gold under the free trade rainbow. He
is not saving enough to make him rich
on what he buys and his market ap-
pears to be growing smaller rather than
larger. He can't sell his wheat in an
enlarged market, and the market for
his potatoes doesn't seem to have in
creased much. In 1891, our exports OF
potatoes were over 341, 900 bushels. I'm
der the Mckinley tariff they increased
to 645,720 bushels in 1893, an increase of
more than 100 per cent During the fis-
cal year ending June 49, 1895, our ex-
ports of potatoes fell off to 572, 900 bush
els, a decrease of 273, 900 bushels in two
years. This year they are likely to be
less. The free trade secretary Of agri-
culture, Mr.. Morton, tells US that Ger
many has shipped 100000 cwt. of pota-
toes to England" also that France
shipped about the same quantity. %
prices are not high" he also tells us,
because England has nearly an aver
age crop of very high quality, the mar
ket there is glutted and prices are as
low as $40 ton" This is equivalent to
twenty-five cents bushel in London.
Three more cheers for the tariff fol-
revenue" and the enlarged markets
that go with it.

The Secret of Being Popular.
from Harper's Round Tablet

Gwendoline writes that she wishes to
know the secret of being popular. I'D
like to be a popular girl she says, "a
girl beloved by everybody"
This is a natural wish, and in itself
not wrong. There is a temptation to
wrong in it if the desire be carried so
far that, in order to become popular,
the girl sacrifices valuable qualities of
character, as, for instance, indepen-
dence of Judgment and sincerity.
But there is no need of this The girl
who chooses to be popular needs first to
be unselfish. She must not consider her
own ends first nor chiefly. The atmos-
phere EMBEDDING her must be that of
love and kindness. You know how

BICYCLES AS B4GGAGE,

The bicycle continues to make easy
progress over the highways of the coun-
try, but when it comes to the railroads
it has trouble. New York and Chicago
bicycle riders are complaining because
the railroads refuse to carry their
wheels in the baggage cars free of
charge. The Pennsylvania has estab-
lished a tariff of fifteen cents between
New York and Newark-two and one
half cents more, 1t is said, than the price
of a round trip ticket. The argument of
the wheelmen is that the companies are
driving passengers off the trains. The
Railroad Gazette, while admitting that
possibly the roads charging for bicycles
act contrary to their own interests,
maintains that all the argument is not
ON the side of the whee1men. AS bicy-
cles cannot be piled UP like trunks,
each machine occupies as much space as
four or five pieces of ordinary bag
gage. Tha free trunk rule has remain
ed undisturbed because few passengers
carry more than a handbag; if each
traveller had trunk to check the ne
cessity of putting on extra baggage cars
would lead the companies to put trunks
and bicycles on the same footing. Moth
ing is said about free baggage as long
as one car is sufficient to carry it, and
if bicycles and baggage could be loaded
in one car probably wheels would be
accepted free. But small increase in
the number of bicycles will necessitate
am additional car, and it is not unrea-
sonable for the railroads to protect
themselves from this extra expense at
least until some means for storing a
large number of wheels in the space
commonly reserved for baggage can be
devised.

light furs, but the quantity of such
trimming on one garment is usually
very small, as the fur is seen only in
narrow strips that edge collars, capes,
neck and wrist. The rage for snowy
buttons that prevails in women's dress,
extends also to children that are ten or
less years from Coming out" and the
effect of big buttons on small bodies is
often irresistibly quaint. Lace effects
for adults dressing, too, are reproduced
on the little folks gowns and the copy
ing is so close that the latter look for
all the world like dwarfed limitations of
their elders. 1t is pretty costume of
this sort that is sketched here. The
material employed is a greenish woolen
suiting and the moderately wide skirt,
which is lined with moreen, has a
wide hem around the bottom The
blouse waist is gathered in the waist
and buttons in back. It's plain yoke
of suiting is hidden by a yoke of gui-
pure that Is alike back and front and
that forms epaulettes for the sleeves.
The latter terminate in long lace cuffs,
and a satin belt of a lighter shade of
green is Worn.

made Of paper. and is as cheap as the
humble Jap fan has been so many
years. The effect is artistic, and like
enough the dainty little fraud of an en-
p1re fan that costs but trife will be
treasured by your granddaughter as
something special, just as we treasure
hideous little paper affairs now that
could not have been half SO valuable in
the day of their making, nor so priced
as they are now. FLORETTE

near us, and while they were fixing up
they cooked in our kitchen. The wo-
man had books and read us stories, and
they We're the first ] overhead heard. I
took a great fancy to one Of the girls;
and when they were gone thought of
her a great deal, and one day when |
was sitting out in the sun by the house
| wrote out a story in my mind. I
thought / took my fathers horse and
followed the wagon, and finally found
it, and they were surprised to see me.
l talked with the girl and persuaded
her to elope with me; and that night
put her on my horse, and we started off
across the prairie. After several hours
we came to a. camp; and when we rode
UP we found,it was the one we had left
a few hours before, and we went in.
The next night we tried again, and the
same thing happened-the horse came
back to the same place; and then we
concluded that we ought not to elope
stayed until I had persuaded her
father to give her to me. I always
meant to write that story out and
publish it, and began once; but con-
Guided that 1t was not much Of story.
But I think that was the beginning of
love with me. Ida M. Tarbell in Nc

The original habitat of the pheasant
in the Caucuses is, according to a re-

total extinction of that beautiful and
we'll favored bird. The wholesale
slaughter in the Caucasian forests dur

and indiscriminate that if some kind of
legal restrain or limitation be not placed

pheasant will soon be a mere memory

The negroes of Georgia have more
than doubled their property holdings
since 1880. In that year the aggregate
was $5,7s4,293, while the assessors books
show that now they own $12,941, 2SO.
This is a shrinkage of about $2000,000
since 1898, when the returns showed
them to be worth $15,0000OO, but this
shrinkage is more apparent than real,

actual loss. Practically all Of this prop

The street cars in Sacramento City,
In California, are now run by electricity
generated by the falls of the American
river at Folsom, twenty -four miles
away. The river has been damned,
creating a reservoir three miles long,
with a flow of $4,000 cubic feet minute.
After turning the turbine wheel at the
dam the water is not allowed to escape
further service, but is used for irriga-
tion. Sacramento City expects soon to
be warmed and lighted by the river.
