Football With Lincoln's Hat.

The favorite hat worn by Abraham
Lincoln was tall 'stovepipe." 1t has
been described as foot high, with a
brim almost as wide as a Southern
sombrero. Many anecdotes are con-
nected with that famous tall hat. In
it Mr.. Lincoln carried many of his
valuable papers, the briefs of his law
cases and other documents.
On the night of Mr.. Lineoln's cleo
ton to the Presidency several ladies
who had gathered at the old homestead
at Springfield testified their glee by US
ing the hat as a football.
A few of us went over TO assist Mrs.
Lincoln about the supper which was
to be given some gentlemen who had
come in to hear the returns. 1t was
after midnight before enough had been
learned to warrant the belief that our
candidate was elected. We went wild
with joy and congratulated Mr.. Lin
coin most heartily.
Some one saw the famous ''stovepipe"
in the hall, and, seizing it, threw it up
to the ceiling. Another caught it, and
then it went the rounds till it fell to the
floor, when one gave it kick, and
then another and another gave the hat
a send-off until il was so battered that
il had lost all resemblance to its origi-
nal shape. Mr.. Lincoln looked on
aud smiled good-naturedly at the child
ish performance.

Nicknames of Railroads.

The nomenclature of the railways,
says writer in the New York Times,
is often as unique and interesting as
are the trade marks. Whenever it is
possible to abbreviate the full title of a
railroad the great public eagerly avails
itself of the shortest phrases. Nobody
now thinks of calling the New York,
Chicago K st. Louis Railroad anything
but the Nickel Plate, and few persons
who speak of the ''Big Four" system
know that the name of that system is
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & st.
Louis.
The name of Nickel Plate as applied
to railroad originated in this way.
Calvin S. Brice and associates built a
road paralleling the Lake Shore, and
practically put it up in the market for
sale. AS Jay Gould seemed to be nib
bling at it, William III. Vanderbilt con-
cluded that he would better buy it for
the protection of his Lake Shore inter
ests. He asked the price, and Mr.
Brice and associates put their figures so
high that Mr.. Vanderbilt petulantly
remarked: "That road must be nick
el-platedr And the line has been
known as the Nickel Plate ever since.
Before the absorption of the Buffalo &
Southwestern that line was commonly
known as the "Arandy and Soda"
The st. Louis Southwestern is known
as the "Cotton Belt" the Louisville,
New Albany * Chicago as the "Mo-
non," the Columbus, Hooking Valley
and Toledo as the Buckeye Route"
and the Pennsylvania lines as the
'Pennsy."

The Family Doctor Says

That it is important at this season
for all who have any tendency to neu-
ralgia, rheumatism or sciatiea, to wear
wool next to the skin.
That catarrh is often caused by going
sud denly into a very warm room from
the cold outer air, instead of becoming
warm gradually.
That hearty laugh is the best pos
sible relief from the tension of an over
worked brain.
That a perpetual round of duties has
a depressing effect upon the senses and
the mind, and the best relief from this
weariness is undoubtedly change of
scene and air.
That before administering emetics
the condition of the patient ought 10
be carefully considered. Emetics are
improper in rupture or in any case
where strong physical effort might
cause physical injury. They should
not be resorted TO where there is infiam-
nation of the stomach.
That in feyers all drinks that are at
all heating or exciting should be avoid
ed. Leomonade, tamarindade, orange
ade (strained SO as to exclude the solid
substance) aud teas made from some
simple aromatic herbs, may be given
TO the patient if called for /; but pure
fresh water is the most natural and the
safest and best drink to queneh thirst
in fevers, and the patient should be
given all that he may reasonably re-
quire.

Art of Butter Making.

At an Iowa dairy convention was a
prize package of fbutter which was high
ly praised by the judges and visitors.
1t was made by heating the milk to so
degrees, and removing the cream with
a separator. A whole milk starter was
used, and the cream allowed to ripen
slowly, with frequent stirring, for 80
hours, when it was placed in the churn
at temperature of So degrees, using
an ounce of batter color TO 1000 pounds
of milk The butter was gathered when
about the size of wheat kernels, the
buttermilk being drawn off aud the
butter washed and placed on the butter
worker. 1t was worked until the salt
was well dissolved, using one ounce OF
salt to apound of butter, allowed TO
stand a short while, then again worked
and packed in a clean spruce tub. The
butter should be worked until the brine
is clear and the butter breaks i'm flakes
like iron. The most essential part is
good milk. Becareful 10 heat to IS de-
grees, so as to have about IS per cent.
of cream, and ripen at 20 degrees, stir
ring frequently, watching closely, so
that as soon as acid developes it will be
cooled down to 80 degrees. There is
much in the attention to details, as the
best butter can only be made by skill
and work at the right time.

Notes of All Sorts.

The use of compressed air in operat-
ing the pneumatic broom recently in
troduced at the railway yards of the
Santa Fe line in Chicago for sweeping
cars has proved great success in its
application TO carpets and upholstery
Cholera vibrios have been found by
Wernicke to survive in the mud of a
model aquarium for three months, al
though the vessel was exposed 10 direct
sunlight. He concludes that cholera
germs in the beds of rivers may pre-
serve their vitality for a considerably
longer period.
Russia is essentially an agricultural
country, the character of the soil and
typographical formation of its land
contributing to make the country,
with rare exceptions, a very successful
farming country. 1t grows every
known cereal successfully and more
eheaply, even with crude appliances,
than any other country.
Two-thirds of the railways of Russia
are owned and managed by the Gov
ernment, and the remainder are under
its direct supervision and control.
Freight rates on all railways, whether
owned blythe Government or not, are
regulated by the Government, and
these rates are extremely fair, no rate
cutting being allowed.

WINCHESTER.
Something About General Sheridan's s
Famous Black Warhorse.

In January, 1876, General Sheridan
sent the following letter to friend
"In regard to the black horse, / am
glad TO state that he is still living and
is now in my stable. He has been
pensioner for the past eight years, new
er being used save in the way of nee
essary exercise. He is of Black Hawk
stock, was foaled at or near Grand
Rapids, and was brought into the army
by one of the officers of the Second
Michigan cavalry, of which regiment
was the colonel in 1862 Early in
spring of that year, while the regi-
ment was stationed at Rienzi, Miss,
this horse was presented to me by the
officers of the regiment, and at that
time was rising 3 years old. Conse-
quently he must be nearly 10 years old
now. He is over IL hands in height,
powerfully built, with a deep chest,
strong shoulders, has broad forehead,
clear eye aud is an animal of great
intelligence In his prime he was one
of the strongest horses l have ever
known, very active and the fastest
walker in the army, so far as my ex-
perience goes.
81 rode him constantly from 1862 10
the close of the war in all the actions
and in all the raids as well as cam
paigns in which took part. He was
never ill, and his staying powers were
superb. At present he is a little rheu-
matte, fat and lazy, but he has fairly
earned his rest, ana so long as / live
he will be taken care Of"
In October, 1878, the famous horse
died, and Sheridan then made slight
addition to Winchester's biography,
saying "He always held his head
high and by the quickness ofhis move
ments gave many persons the impress
sion that he was exceedingly impetu-
Gus. This was not the ease, for / could
at any time control him by firm hand
and few words, and he was as cool
and quiet under fire rs one of my old
soldiers. l doubt if his superior rs a
horse for field service was ever ridden
by any one"
Herman Melville, Buchanan Read
and many other writers have made this
horse the subject of poems, and several
sculptors and painters have delineated
him in marble and on canvass On ey-
cry returning Memorial day many aged
survivors of SheridaD's Shenandoah
troopers who remember the services of
this
Steed as black as the steeds of night
cross over to Governors island museum
and place floral memorials on the glass
case that contains all the remains of
Winchester.-OurA Animal Friends.

Give the Republicans a c,aaes.

The Atlanta Constitution has BET N
upon the attitude that the democrats
In congress should take towards the re-
publican party. Senator Jones, Of Ar
kansas, who led the fight for Bryan,
says that the people accepted the re-
publican plan, and that the democrats
do not propose to throw any unneees-
sary obstacle in the way Of permitting
them oput their plans into execution
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, says that
the republicans will be given every
chance TO enact the policy Of their adj
miDistration into law. He adds:
''Of course we surrender none Of our
convictions, but there IL something
more than mere party fealty expected
Of the democrats, and that IL, duty TO
the people and to the business interests
Of the country, that they throw no cap
tious opposition in the way Of the re-
publican administration enacting such
measures as they promise will bring
about prosperity"
Senator Bacon, Of Georgia, says that
the entire responsibility will be thrown
upon the republicans. Senator Baiiey,
of Texas, likewise declares that no un-
necessary obstacles will be placed in
the republican path. lie says that il
the Mckinley administration brings
Obout genuine prosperity the democrats
may just as well make no nomination.
If there is a failure then the republic
cans might as well @ out Of busi-
ness There are other interviews from
Tennessee, Virginia, and other south
ern states Of similar import.
1t is apparent FROM these that the
democrats as a party in congress, while
they will make their speeches and east
their gotes against the tariff bill, will
not filibuster in order to delay its en-
aetment. This is both wise and patri-
otic. The people have voted in behalf
of the tariff bill and they are entitled
to have that bill at the earliest possible
moment. The republican claim is that
increased duties will secure prosperity.
the democrats dispute this. The way
to test it is to put the bill into practice.
AL that the republicans ask is that they
shall be given the opportunity.
1t would be possible, if the silver
men Ofthe senate should combine with
the demoer-ts and the populists, 10 de-
feat the measure, but as several Of these
silver senators are republicans it would
be unjust to presume that they would
vote against protection when nothing
could Re gained for silver by 80 doing.
If there shall be 10 eaptious opposition
the extra session ought to do its work
in ample time for the country to 90 up
on the new tariff basis by the first of
July.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Lincoln's Horse Trade.

Abraham Lincoln was fond of good
story, and il is well known fact that
he often illustrated an important point
in the business at hand by rescrting to
his favorite pastime. Probably one of
the best he ever told he related of him
self when he was lawyer in Illinois.
One day Lincoln and a certain judge,
who was an intimate friend of his,
were bantering each other about horses,
favorite topic of theirs. Finally Lin
coin said:
"WelI, look here judge, Ill tell you
what I'll do. I'll make horse trade
with you, only it must be upon these
stipulations: Neither party shall see
the others horse until it is produced
here in the court yard of the hotel, and
both parties must trade horses. If eth
er party backs out of the agreement, he
does SO under forfeiture of twenty
five dollars"
agreed" cried the judge, and both
he and Lincoln went In quest OF their
respective animals.
A crowd gathered, anticipating some
fun, and when the judge returned first,
the laugh was uprorious. He led, or
rather dragged, at the end of the halter
the meanest, boniest, rib stasing quad
ruped-blind i'm both eyes-that ever
pressed turf. But presently Lincoln
came along carrying over his shoulder
a carpenters horse. Then the mirth
of the crowd was furious. Lincoln sol
emnly set his horse down, and silently
surveyed the judges animal with a
comical look of infinite disgust
swell, judge" he finally said, "this
is the first time ever got the worst of
1t in horse trade. ."-Harper's Round
Table.

Three Interesting Characters

Three men of considerable promi-
nence in American affairs died during
the last week. One, John Randolph
Tucker, played an important part in
federal and confederate politics; an
other, General Darius Nash Couch,
was intrusled with important COM
mands and duties during the war; and
the third, General Joseph Orville Shell
by, cut dashing, brilliant and ROMAN
tic figure in the trans Mississippi an
nails of the rebellion.
General Shelby, born a Kentuekian,
but Missourian by adoption and at
heart, led first a company, then a regi-
ment, then brigade, then a division.
A thOusand-mile raid, with thousand
eavalrymen at his back, was a delight
TO him. He marched, he burned, he
slew; yet his rage was directed not
against the defenseless, but against the
jayhawker and the savage. There was
much of Sheridan in Shelby and much
Of Shelby in Sheridan All things
considered, Shelby was the most
picturesque figure of the war in the
southwest
General COueh's service in the Army
of the Potomac and as commander Of
the department of Pennsylvania, espe-
cially at the time of the Gettysburg in
vasion, can only be appreciated by
those who have famiiiarized themselves
with the inside history of the war with
laurels as fresh as those that have since
been worn by generals who struck APP
pOmattOx before they struck disaster
Mr.. Tucker was in public life for
many years. A nephew of John Ran
dolph, of Roanoke, he possessed
great deal of that eccentric Virginian's
