Lincoln and the Peach.

4 young lady sends to the Tribune
a little aneedote of Abraham Lincoln.
She SAYS that a good many years ago,
when her father was a small boy, her
grandfather brought Abraham Lincoln
home one night TO supper. He was
then poor Young man practicing law
in WoodfoId County, Illinois.
ait was a cold, stormy night, and
grandma hurried around getting sup.
per. To have something nice she
opered a jar OF preserved peaches.
Lincoln spent a long time over his
peach, AMI finally left it on the plate.
Grandma noticed this, anil as soon
rs he and grandpa had gone into an.
other room she went to look at the
dish. Then she saw that instead Of a
peach she had given the visitor the lit.
tie muslin sack which contained the
peach kernels and the spice. She
hasteucd into the other room and be.
gan al apology, but Mr.. Lincoln said !:
"'That was all right, Mrs. Perry.
Ny mother used the same thing, and
it was SO good that l wanted to get all
the iuIce out OF it. "..-Chicago Tri-

Cen,ns Of FloMsrlng Plants.

The number of Towering species OF
plants described is, IN round numbers,
about 100, 900. But though explora'
tons seem TO be continually adding
to the list, this number will probably
be employed for all time by reason Of
the different views Of species now en-
tertained from those prevalent in the
past. 1t is now known that in all
plants there is great tendency to
vary; and while IN the past these diff
fering FERNS were honorcd by separate
names and descriptions, the tendency
now is to make descriptions broad
enough to cover what would be num-
Der of species n century ago. SO while
new species are being continually
brought TO light as unknown lands are
searched, the uuiOn OF older forms
under single specific appellation
keeps down the number OF accepted
species TO the hundred thousand marx.
In tie lower orders OF vegetation,
nearly double the number of species
have been described as of Towering
plants; but many of these are coming
to be regarded as forms OF one species.

Orang Ontang Nith High Forehead

In the Z5ological Gardens in Phia-
dolphin is one OF the few real orang-
outaugs which have been brought to
this country, and in his way he is q
wonder. Those who have seen him,
SAYS the Inquirer, in presenting his
picture, will recognize in the cut the
peculiar attitude in which he places
himself when showing of for the bone-
lit Of visitors and when he swings his
body sideways before the front OF his
cage.
The oraug-outaug, or manlike ape,
has a close resemblance to that OF Il
man in the general form of the bones,
muscles, nerves and brain. They are
the third in size of the authrcpoid
species of apes, and come from the
low, marshy forest tracts of Borneo
and northern parts OF Sumatra.
Their muscular strength is very
great, and a powerful man would be
roughly handled in an encounter. The
native name of orang.outang means
head man, or chief OF the woods.
This animal, Chief Titan, appears to
be about six to eight years old, and Is
now three-tourths grown. If he should
live to reach his full size he will be
twice his present age. He was cap
tured four years ago in BorneO.
He has many peculiar characteris-
tics, one Of which is his apparent

The Youngest Stars.

The modern astronomical principle
on which stars are classified, namely,
the resemblance and difference be-
tween their spectra, and the revela.
tions characterlzing this remarkable
phenomenon, have led to various at.
tempts to indicate the stage of advance
mont attained by each particular orb
in its l1fe's history or development
Remarking upon this recent writer
cites DR.. Scheiner as putting, in his
late work on stellar spectroscopy,
those stars whose spectra contain the
bright lines of helium and hydrogen
in the first subdivision of his first
class il evolution, Beta Lyr@ and
Gamma Cassiopie being two such
stars he regards them as having at
mospheres composed of those gases,
enormously extensive as compared
with those of other stars, and possibly
hotter than the gaseous envelopes OF
their older companions. On the basis
of this theory the query is considered
pertinent as to how long it may be
since our world was IN the condition
of Beta Lyr@, whether any hellum
now floats in our outer atmosphere,
how that particular portion which IS
now embedded in the earth's crust got
there, and other similar questions -

FaYOrS Small Men and Horses,

General DragomirofT has expressed
his dissent from the views Of some
English officers who praised the
French regiments OF the line, but
thought less of the cavalry. Fine.
big horses, says the General, may be
no good at all for cavalry purposes.
1t is a mistake to require big men and
massive horses; both want plenty of
food and at regular times. Mettle
some little men and horses are incom-
parably better for all present-day pur-
poses. Who wants them now to charge
squares? They are chiefly good as
advanced guards and as scouts in a
strange country.
The Cossack horse, which is not
much bigger than pony, is worth a
dozen less spirited big Icavalry horses
such as the English admire. The
General has also had his say about
balloons. They are very little good,
in his opinion, unless to the enemy.
A balloon is traitor, in the sense
/ that it reveals the whereabouts of AT
enemy, which might without it re
main concealed. Those in it get +
deceptive notion of the surface Of thu
country, which looks, unless where
there are high hills, quite fiat. 4
church tower or a tall tree on al
eminence is better point Of observa
ton. The General declares the en-
during little Freach linesman, wht
marches fourteen hours at stretch
to be "tte most delightful being tha

Solved at Last.

An old gentleman in the north OF
London has recently been making a
series of interesting experiments with
view TO finding a solution to the
question often asked: "What be.
comes of the countless myriads of
pins, etc, that are annually lost ?"
As he expected, he finds that it is the
disintegrGtiug effects of the air which
resolves even these intractable little
instruments into their elements.
He put some hundreds OF brass and
steel pins, needles, hairpins, etc, in a
quiet corner of his garden, where they
would be subject to all the destructive
agencies OF dampness, earth, wind,
etc, although secure from the preda-
tory hands and disturbing feet OF in
quisitiye intruders. The results are
curious.
Ordinary hairpins were the first
taking Isl days on sn average) TO OK
idize into q brownjsh rust-ferrous
ozide-which was scattered by the
wind as it was formed, and not q trace
of a single one could be detected at
the end of seven months. Common
bright pins took us long as eighteen
months before their combustion was
complete, bat brass ones had been en-
tirely turned into green verdigris
long before that. At the end OF fiji
teen months an ordinary penholder
had had its nib entirely rusted away,
but the wooden stick was still almost
unaltered. 1t is probable that the
paint on it had somewhat of pre-
servative effect.
Some used wax vestes were almost
gone, with the exception of the cot
ton wick, in less than eighty days
from the time they were deposited,
but the sulphur heads Of some unlit
ones were as perfect as ever. Polished
steel needles of small size lasted a
very long time lover two years and n
half; but a black lead pencil proved
itself to be practically iDdestructible,
both cedar and plumbago being NJ
most as good as when new, even
though harder things had quite rot

1t is doubtful il the lack of employ.
ment during the late business depres-
sion induced many men and women to
leave for the West This has probably
to be attributed to the depression IN
agriculture. The cultivation OF the soil
in its more productive regions has got
largely into a few hands, and the young
man, whom Horace Greeley so sturd-
lily advised to go West, has not the op-
porLunities to make a living on his
own account that he once had there.
He may wiring his sustenance from the
soil, but in the market for the sale of
his products he is at a disadvantage
The growth OF the nearer Western
States is far from being at the earlier
ratio, unless it be in those States
which engage in manufacturing. Iowa
has just taken census, and reports
that her increase in population during
the last five years is but six per cent.
and the Michigan censns also shows
but a small increase. This is not up
to the gain in Massachusetts,, which i:
eleven per cent. or to that in New
Jersey, which is sixteen per cent. dur
ing the same time. The cities are re
sponsible for the largest portion o.
