An ANECDOTE OF LINCOLN.

In the course of an article in the
July t.sNdcholas, Mary Lillian Herr
relates the following characteristic
anecdote of Lincoln:
Once while on his way to Washing
ton as President, the train stopped
for little time in the town of Ale
gheny, Pennsylvania. Around the
station a great crowd gathered,
eager to see the new President. They
shouted and cheered until Lincoln had
to appear on the rear platform of his
car. He bowed and smiled; but the
crowd was so noisy he did not try to
speak to them. Very near to the
platform stood a miner, wearing
red shirt and blue overalls, and car
rying dinner pail. Like the rest he
had stopped hoping to see Mr.. LIN
coin. The workman was almost
giant in size, and lowered head and
shoulders above the crowd.
No doubt he cad heard that Lin
coin also was very tall; and, en-
couraged by the friendly face, the
workman suddenly waved his bare
arm above his head, and called out;
eli, there, Abe Lincoln!-Tm taller
than you,-yes, sight taller!"
This loud speech siIenced the crowd
by it's boldness, and a laugh arose.
But Mr.. Lincoln, leaning forward
with a good-humored smile, said
quietly:
sMy man, doubt it; in fact, Pm
sure I am the taller. However, come
up, and let's measure"
The crowd made way; the work
man climbed to the platform, and
stood back to back with the Presi-
dent. Each pnt up a hand to see
whose head overtopped. Evidently
Mr. Lincoln was the victor; for with
a smile of satisfaction, he turned and
offered his hand to his beaten rival,
saying cordially:
81 thought you were mistaken: and
was right; but I wished to be sure
and to have you satisfied. However,
we are friends anyway, aren't we?'
Grasping the outstretchsd hand in a
vigorous grip, the workman replied:
eyes, Abe Lincoln; as long as [
live!'

RURAL MISCELLANY.

Plan to grow more grass and clover.
Study the requirements of the soil
as we'll as Of the market.
Select the crops with respect to
their adaptability to the farm.
1t is not only an item to increase
quantity but to improve the quality
Of the crops.
Colts should be trained to walk fast
before attempting to improve them
in any other gait.
On the farm, as in any other line Of
business, it is an item to save labor
and economic time.
Manure adds to the productiveness
Of land as soon as it is applied, but all
Of the substances will not be used up
in one season.
The farm products should be put in
the form in which they will bring the
most money and yet leave the farm
in the most productive condition.
While the farm may not always
show large returns in the way Of cash
yet with good management the farm
er may be reasonably sure of go cd
living.
Continuous cropping without max
ing an adequate return to the soil i'm
poverishes the land and in the end

A real friend asks no questions.
She takes the best that comes, the
best that is in you; the best that you
care to offer her, and demands moth
ing more. She has long ago learned,
being wise, that to all of US there
comes time when something should
be said, but there is never a time
when everything should be said.
There is very often a silence be-
tween two women friends that means
rest, and she is unwise who breaks
that silence.
