Tho Ways OF tho Opossum

Just why the great biologists of the
present day should have chosen to con-
slider the opossum an animal of lower
order than the stupid and helpless
sloth, and the third order from the
lowest of all, is not SO easy to under
stand as it ought to DE. As a mat
ter of fact, nature has done great
deal for the opossum--far more than
for the great majority of quadrupeds.
Note what the creature is, and can
do, and match it if you can. It eats
almost everything that can be chewed
wild fruit, berries, green corn, insect
larvae, eggs, young birds and quadru-
reds, soft~ehelled nuts and certain
roots. It is good climber, and has
a very useful prehensile tail. 1t for
apes on the ground quite as successful
~ as any squirrel. It usually burrows
under the roots of large trees. where
it is impossible for the hunter to dig
it out; but sometimes it makes the mis-
take of choosing q hollow log. When
attacked, it often feigns death 10 throw
it's assailants off their guard. Like the
bear and woodchuck, it stores up a
plentiful supply of fat for winter use,
when food is scarce; and, above all,
the female has a nice, warm pouch in
which to carry and protect her help
less young, instead Of leaving them
in the nest to catch their death of cold,
or be devoured by some enemy.-W. +.

CARE OF HATS.

Specks of Dust, Rnhlod Feathers and Pin
: holes Are Not to Be Commended.
The essential of woman's attire, for
which she pays the most fanciful
price, is her hat. A simple felt shape
plainly trimmed with velvet and wings
costs no mean sum, and when a more
betrimmed and befurbelowed affair is
chosen, the drain on the purse makes
the wearer vince. Yet how few wom-
IN take proper care of the dainty crea-
tons after they are purchased. 1t is
the abuse not the use, Of the hat, that
makes it rapidly become shabby
When it is put On for the first time
the wearer must decide just where to
insert the point of the hat pin so that
it will cause least harm. When the
hat is worn thereafter care must be
taken to put the pins in the holes made
by them at first. If not, the crown will
soon become roughened and marred
with many punctures. When the hat
is taken off it must be carefully brushed
with soft wbisk broom and every par
ticle of dust dislodged from the brim
and from the crown. The loops and
bows must then be pulled straight and
the feathers or wings smoothed into
place if the wind has blown them into
disorder. A large band box lined with
tissue paper is the proper receptacle for
this easily injured head covering.
She who is the happy possessor OF
large hat trimmed with Sostrich plumcs
must determine never to wear it in
damp or stormy weather The beauty
of the plumes lies in their fluffy curl
and this is speedily destroyed by damp
ness. Then the whole hat is trans
formed flom q thing Of beauty into q.

eeeeaes Of Abeaham Lincoln In Early
Life.
In the summer Of the year 1880
Abraham Lincoln exercised the right of
majority and started out to shift for
himself. When he left his home to
start life for himself he went empty
handed. He was already some months
over 81 years of age, but he had moth
ing in the world, not even suit Of
respectable clothes; and one of the first
pieces of work he did was Ito split 400
rails for every yard of brown jeans
dyed with white walnut bark that
would be necessary to make him pair
OF trousers" He had no trade, no pro-
fession, no spot of land, no patron, no
influence. Two things recommended
him to his neighbors- was strong
and he was q good fellow.
His strength made him valuable
laborer. Not that he was fond of hard
labor. Mrs. Crawford says: "Abe was
no hand to pitch into work like killing
snakes" but when he did work it was
with an ease and effectiveness which.
compensated his employer for the time
he spent in practical jokes and extern
poraneous speeches. He would lift as
much as three ordinary men, and my,
how he would chop!' says Dennis
Hanks. 'sIIis AK would flash and, bite
into sugar tree or sycamore, and
down it would come. If you heard him
fellin' trees in a clearin you would
saw there was three men at work by
the way the trees FELL" Standing six
feet four, he could outfit, outwork and
outwrestle any man he came in contact
with. Friends and employers were
proud of his strength, and bcasted OF
it. never failing to pit him against any
hero whose strength they heard vaunt-
ed. He himself was proud of it. and
throughout his life was fond OF comPar-
ing himself with tall and strong men.
He drove the oxen On the removal
of the Lincoln family from Indiana to
Illinois, he tells us, and, according to
q story current in Gentryville, he sue
ceeded in doing fair peddler's busi-
ness on the route. Capt. William Jones.
in whose fathers store Lincoln had
spent so many hours in discussion and
storytelling, and for whom he ha<
worked the last winter he was in Indi-
ana, says that before leaving the state
Abraham invested all his money, some
thirty odd dollars, in notions. "a SCI
Of knives and forks was the largest
item entered on the bill,' says Mr..
Jones; ''the other items were needles.
pins, thread, buttons and other little
domestic necessities. When the Lin
coins reached their new home near De-
catrr, I'll. Abraham wrote back to my
father, stating that he had doubled
his money on bis purchases by selling
them along the road. ."-McClure's Mag
