How Lincoln Got His Learning.

With all his hard living and hard
work, Lincoln got a desultory kind OF
education. Not that he received much
schooling. He went by "littles." He
says: ''In al, it did not amount to
more than a year" But more or less
of the schoolroom is a matter of small
Importance if a boy has learned to
read and think of what he reads. And
that this boy had learned. His stock
of books was small, but he knew them
thoroughly. and they were very good
books to know; the Bible, Aesop's
'Fables.' Robinson Crusoe," Bun
vans 'Pilgrim's Progress a History
of the United States,' Weem's Life
of Washington and the statutes of
Indiana" These are the chief ones
we know about. He did not own them
all, but sometimes had to borrow them
from the neighbOrs, a practice which
resulted in at least one casualty; for
Weem's Life of Washington" he al
lowed to get wet, and to make good
the loss he had to pull fodder three
days. No matter, the book became
his then. and he could read it as he
would. Fortunately. he took this curl
u work in profound seriousness,
which a w~ide-awake boy would scarce
ly be expected to do to-day. Washing
ton became an exalted figure in his i'm
agination; and he always contended,
later. when the question of the real
character of the first president was
brought up, that it was wiser to re-
gard him as a god-like character, he
roic in nature and deeds, as Weems
did, than to contend that he was only
a nan who, if wise and good, still
made mistakes and INDUCED in follieS
like other men.
Besides these books, he borrowed
many. He once told a friend that he
read through every book he had ever
| heard Of i'll that country for a circuit
lsof fifty miles" From everything he
| read he made long extracts, using a
turkey-huZzard pen and brier-root ink,
When he had no paper he would write
IN n board, and TINS preserve his Sc
lections until he secured a copy-book.
The wooden tire-shovel was his usual
slate, and on it's back he would cipher
with a charred stick. shaving it of
wheE covered. The logs and boards In
his vicinity We're always filled with his
figures and quotations. BY night he
read and worked as long as there was
light, and he kept a book in the crack
of the logs in his loft, to have it al
hand at peep of day. When acting as
ferryman In his nineteenth year. anx'
ious, no doubt, to get through the
books of the house where he boarded
before he left the place. he read every
night 'till midnight" so says his room
mate.
In his habits of reading and study
the boy had little encouragement from
the father, but his %stepmother did al
1 she could for him. Indeed, between
the two there soon grew up a relation
of touching gentleness and confidence

The Island of Fire,

The greatest natural wonder in Java,
If not in the entire world. is the justly
celebrated "Gheko Kamdka Gumko,'
or 'Home of the Hot Devils known
to the world as the Island of Fire
This geological singularity is really q
lake of boiling mud situated at about
the center of the Plains of Grobogana,
and is called an island because the
great emerald sea of vegetation which
surrounds it gives it that appearance.
The island is about two miles in cir
conference and is situated ut a dis
lance of almost exactly fifty miles
from Solo. Near the center or this geo
logical freak immense columns of soft,
hot mud may be seen continually us
ing and falling, like great timbers
thrust through the boiling substratum
by giant hands. and then again quick
ly withdrawn. Besides the pbenome-
non of the boiling mud columns there
are scores of gigantic bubbles of hot
slime that fill up like huge balloons and

times past, so the Javanese authorities
saw, there was a tall, spire-like column
Of baked mud OH the west edge of the

stream of cold water, but this has
long been o~bliterated, and everything

mud and slime, a marvel to the visitors
who come from great distances to see
it.-London Public Opinion.

FArTENlNG HOGS COSTS ONE cE,

FATTENlNG HOGS COSTS ONE CENT
The editor recently heard of a farmer
%fattening hogs at less than one cent a
pound. This was made possible through
the sowing Of Salzer's King Barley,
yielding over 100 blu. per acre, Golden
Triumph Corn, yielding 200 bu. per
acre, and the feeding on Sand Vetch,
Teosinte, Hundredfold Peas. etc. Now,
with such yields. the growing of hogs is
moro profitable than a silver mine.
Salzer's catalogue is full of rare
things for the farmer, gardener and cit
izen, and the editor believes that 1t
would pay everybody a hu%ndred-fold to
get Salzer's catalogue before purchas-
ing seeds.
