One of Lfncoln's Jokes

This is q brand-new Lincoln story,
and true, like all of this series:
President Lincoln reached Meade
Station, near Petersburg, soon after n
serious battle, in which about 1000
ConfederateS We're made prisoners.
Gen. Meade was on the presidents
left and Col. George ID. Ruggles on his
right. On their way to headquarters
they o d to a point where they could
see the large asSemblaGe of prisoners.
with the prisoners We're many col0reG
servants and laborers.
Mr.. Lincoln" said Gen. Meade. Il
guess Rugsles did not overestimate
the number of men captured"
Mr. Lincoln checked his horse, DELHI
erately surveyed the field full of Cor
don's disarmcd men and the contra
bands. and said: Yes, general. the
number is there in black and white"

Secretary of State Toylor, as state
supervisor OF elections, rules that the
sound money Democrats cannot put
the emblem adopted at the state con-
vention here this week-the Hickory
Tree-on the Australlon ballot. He
says the law is plain that only estab-
lished parties can adopt emblems, and
calls attention to the fact that while
the socialist party last year adopted an
emble it was not permitted to 60 on
the ballot. He holds that law is
plain that party is only "estab-
lished" in meaning of statutes, when
it has polled one per cent. at least Of
the entire vote of the state Sound
money Democrats will have to get on
the Australian ballot by petition and
it will require almost 5000 names to
the petition. Regular Democrats
claim they cannot get that many sig
natures. Secretary Taylor also rules
that the national Prohibitionists will
have to get petition of 5000 names
before their ticket can be put on the
Australian ballot. 1t is very doubt
full if they will be able to get sc
many names.-EG.

the preliminary stage of the complaint is
the wisest precautionary measure rheumat-

HOW PEOPLE REST.
Some Races SIT and Lie Down. While 9th
ers Crouch and Kneel.

ern Crouch ana hneeL
There is wide difference In the modes
followed by the various races of the
world in taking their rest 1t seems to
the American that by far the most sat
isfactory way to do it is either to sit on
lie down, but there are millions Of hu-
man beings that rest quite as well in
quite different way.
The most barbarous races crouch and
kneel when resting and do it so CON-
fortably that they sleep in those pos
lures as easily as an American does in
bed. The lower classes among the Hin
docs and some of the South American
races sleep thus, the men usually crouch
ing and the women kneeling.
In the next higher grades of civiliza-
ton those positions give way to sitting
with crossed legs. This is the sitting
posture of the Mussulman and the Pa
cif1c island races, as is well known. In
some Persian houses, however, it is not
unusual to see the inhabitants and
guests ranged about a room kneeling
against the wall.
Another step upward on the ladder OF
civilization brings us to chairs of vari-
GUS FORMS A primitive chair consisting
of simple wooden support few inch
es high is found in some parts of
Africa. Then comes the same support
with a round crosspiece, which is seen in
Guinea, and then fat crosspiece with
two legs, which is used in the upDer
Nile country. Finally comes the three
and four legged stools and chairs, some
times in simple form and sometimes
handsomely carved, which are found
among the civilized races all over the
world.
In Egypt the fellahs retain the four
postures of their ancestors, the kneeling,
the sitting, the cross legged and the sit
ting upon the ground with legs Joined.
All four date from the eighteenth
dynasty. Exchange.
