HON EST LA WYERS.

President Abraham Lincoln set
forth in theory and practice an honest
example OF what would greatly bless
the world if more earnestly followed.
AS an attorney in the eighth Judltial
district in Illinois, Mr.. Lincoln was
one of the most popular members Of
the bar, and WAS in good demand
among those who had legal business to
transact. In 1850 he prepared a lecture
on the practice Of law and IN the notes
the following noble sentiments are re-
pressed. lie said:
Discourage litigation. Persuade your
ncighb0rs to compromise whenever
you can. Point out to them how Tho
nominal winner is often a real Loser
in fees, expenses and waste OF time
AS Il %pcacemaker the lawyer has ,
superior opportunity of being a gcd
man. There will still be business
enough.
Never stir up litigation. A worse
man can scarcely be found than one
who does this. Who can &c more

TREES THAT WHISTLE.

It'd bits.
The musical or whistling tree is
found In the West Indian Islands, IN
Nubia, and the Sudan. 1t has q pc
culiar shaped leaf, aud pods with II
split or open edge. The wind passing
through these sends out the sound
which gives the tree its peculiar
name, In Barbad0es, there is a val
ley filed with these trees, and when
the trade winds blow across the
island q constant moaning, deep-toned
whistle is heard from it, which in the
still hours Of night has "A very weird
and unpleasant effect. A species Of
acacia, which grows very abundantly
in the Sudan, is also called the wills
Ting tree by the natives. Its shoots
are frequently, by the agency Of the
larvae OF insects, distorted in shape
and swollen into a gl0bnlar bladder
from one TO two jrchcs In diameter.
After the insect has emerged from u

THE POKEBERBY CURE FOR
OBESITY.


Chicago Record.
An interesting hygienic discovery
| heard OF down here in Ashtabula is
that the common poke or pokebcrry
that grows in the pastures or by the
roadside in much ~profusion is a GER
tain cure for obesity. They tell me
that if Il fat man will cat of them
regularly, say a couple Of quarts a day,
he can reduce his flesh at the rate of
ten pounds a week without feeling
any discomfort and without altering
his diet, except to abstain from pota-
toes, bread and other ~fattening foods.
This discovery was made BY Il farmer,
who noticed that the birds that lived
on the p~okcbcrry patches were always
very lean.
He fed the berries to a hog as an
experiment, and In Il couple of weeks
the animal was a skeleton. They had
the same effect upon chickens, and,
finally, being blessed with ver'abund-
ancc of flesh himself, he began eating
them. Within a month, by the time
the berries were gone, he had reduced
his weight more than twenty-five
pounds, and since then some of the
%neighbors have adopted the same
cure with similar results.

KNOTS TIED BY MACHINERY

Argosy.
If inventions continue to multiply
at the present rate the day may speed
ily come when man will have to sit
with folded arms while his work, and
even his pleasures, are turned out for
him by nickle-in-the-slot devices.
Science has lately given US a marvel
in the shape Of a card-counting ma-
chine.
Two of the most interesting auto
mata now working within the limits
of the United States are those used
by the government for counting and
tying postal cards into small bundles.
These machines are made in Connccti-
cut, and the two are capable of count
ing 1000 cards in ten hours and
wrapping and tying the same in pack
ages Of twenty-five each. In this opcr-
alton the paper is pulled of a drum by
two long "flngers," which come up
from below, and another finger dips in
a vat of mucilagc, and applies itself
to the wrapping paper in exactly the
right spot. Other parts of the ma
chine Irvine the paper around the
pack of cards, and then Il 'thumb"
presses ovcr the spot where the mu-
cilage is, and the package is thrown
upon a carry belt ready for delivery.

LONGS TO BE A SLAVE.
A SOUTHERN NEGRO WHO WANTS TO
INTO BONDAGE AGAIN.

Albany Aryns.
Some Of the letters that Mayor
Thatcher gets are curiosilies in their
way. People from cut of town VINO
wish to find out anything in the city
Of Albany Invariably write letters to
the mayor. IL doesn't make any dlf-
ference what the information desired
relates TO-, the mayor, they think,
ought to know.
A letter was received from a negro
away down South, who, Mr.. Mona
han says, has been dead for thirty
years-not literally a corpse, but de-
ceased as far as his grip on hustling,
progressive ninteenth century life
was concerned. This man believes
that slavery is still an institution in
this great land, and is ignorant OF the
glorious fact that the masters whip
hasn't cracked for thirty years. He
never heard OF the Presidents prOcla.
nation, never knew that the North
had whipped the South, and that a
million lives had heed sacrificed to
free the slave. In his letter to the
mayor this colored man asked to be
brought north and sold back into
slavery. There is no question that
he found it impossible TO live in the
South, and longed again for the ire
sponsibility from s%clf-snpport of slav-
cry days which he thought still flour
ishcd in the South.
