Probably it is true that some men
have by nature a peculiar power over
wild animals, and it is matter of COM
mon experience that animals sometimes
strike up sudden friendships with per-
IONS they have never seen before. An
extreme instance of this kind is de-
scribed by military correspondent OF
the New York Sun: Perhaps of all the
wild animals that may be at least par
TALLY civilized or tanned. the Rocky
Mountain lion or catamount offers the
least promise; and yet in the writer's
experience one specimen was as gentle
and docile as human kindness could
make him. He followed his master
around like dog, obeyng every wish
or nod, but would allow no other per-
sons to approach him with offers Of
kindness or anything else. This crea-
ture was full grown mountain lion.
that for some strange reason had taken
a fancy to a Cheyenne Indian. Wheth-
err in camp, on the prairie, or in the
post the brute could always be seen
quietly following the Indian, but he
would never leave his masters heels
for any reason except at his masters
bidding Often would he accompany
the buck into the post traders store.
where his entrance was the signal for
all dogs to get out and for bipeds not
acquainted with the situation to lose
no time in taking to- the counters. The
officers of the post finally persuaded
consideration, and the lion, after being
securely Gagged, was shipped as a pres
ent to the National Museum at Wash
ington."

Pumice. as is well known, is Of VOL
canic origin, being a trachytic lava
which has been rendered light by the
escape of gases when in molten state.
It is found on most of the shores OF
the Tyrrhenian sea and elsewhere, but
is at present almost exclusively OBJ
tanned from the little island of Lipari.
Most of the volcanoes Of Lipari have
elected pumaceous rocks, but the best
stone is all the product of one noun
tain, Monte Chirica, nearly 1900 feet
in height, with it's two accessory era
ters The district in which the pumice
is excavated covers an area of three
square miles. 1t has been calculated
that about 1000 hands are engaged In
this industry, 600 of whom are en-
ployed in extricating the mineral.
Pumice is brought to the surface in
large blocks or in baskets, and is car
ried thus either to the neighboring vii
lage or to the seashore to be taken
there in boats. The supply is said to
be practically inexhaustible. Pumice
Is used not merely for securing and
cleansing purposes, but also for polish
ing in numerous trades, hence the fact
that the powdered pumice exported ex-
ceeds in weight the block pumice. Be-
tween twenty and thirty merchants are
engaged in the pumice trade in the
island.-London News.

LINES ON LINCOLN.

Look on this cast and know the hand
That bore nation in its hold.
From this mute witness understand
What Lincoln was-how large of
mold.
The man who sped the woodlands
team,
And deepest sunk the plowman's
share,
And pushed the laden raft astream,
OF fate before him unaware.
This was the hand that knew to swing
The ax-since thus would Freedom
train
Her son-and made the forest ring,
And drove the wedge and toiled
amain.
Firm hand, that loftier Office took,
A conscious leaders, will obeyed,
And when men sought his word and
look,
With steadfast might the gathering
swayed.
no courtier's toying with the sword,
Nor minstrels laid across the lutte;
A chiefs, uplifted to the Lord
When all the kings OF earth were
mute.
What better than this voiceless cast
To tell of such one as he,
Since through it's living semblance
passed
The thought that babe race be free.

sands of Puritans were ready to leave
England for ever.
Many of the people of Norfolk and
Lincoln counties had sailed for Massa-
chusetts; others were ready to join
them. The ships, Rose and the John,
and Dorothy, were at yarmouth, pre-
pairing to sail. Francis Lawes resolv-
ed to become an emigrant, and it seems
probable that Samuel Lincoln was
ready to join his brother, who had set
tied in bingham, near Boston. We see
them travelling across the meadows and
lowlands, with others, to Yarmouth
town. Together the ships sail across
the Atlantic, to drop their anchors IN
Salem Harbor.
1t is probable that Samuel Lincoln,
for lack of wool, did not do much weav-
ing in the town of Ipswich, where his
master settled.
The only sheep in Massachusetts,
were few which were pastured on the
islands In Boston harbor, where the
wolves could not get at them.
When the apprentice became OF age
he joined his brother Thomas in Hing
ham. He had learned trade; it is
not certain that he followed 1t, but
probably he became farmer. A maid
en- named Martha became his wife; her
parental name is not known. Their chill
dren were Samuel. Daniel, Mordecai,
Mary, Martha, Sarah and Rebecca.
Startling news came that the Indians
were numbering the settlers of Swan
zey. 1t was the beginning of the war
with the Pequos, under their chief,
Philip, Samuel, the Oldest son, seized
his fathers gun and powder horn and
became a soldier. A year passed, in
which more than six hundred Of the
settlers were killed; but the chief was
dead, and his head was hanging on a
gibbet in Plymouth. The captured In
dams were sold as slaves to the Span
iards.
Mordecai Lincoln, the while, was
blowing the bellows and making the
anvil ring in blacksmith's shop.
When he became of age he set up his
own forge in Hull. Perhaps Sarah
Jones may have influenced him in set
Ting there, for she soon became his
wife.
The year 1886 was memorable one
to the blacksmith, for son was born
to him-Mordecai, junior. Just before
his birth the frigate Rose sailed into
Boston harbor, bringing Sir Edmund
Andres, who had been appointed gov
ernor of Massachusetts, Plymouth,
Rhode Island and Connecticut. He
had brought over two companies Of
troops to aid him in upsetting the
government of the people. 1t seems
that Mordecai Lincoln could look from
his shop door and see the frigate run
ming out it's guns and firing a salute,
and the cannon of the castle replying.
James H. had determined to overthrow
the Puritan commonwealth. The peo-
pie were no longer to assemble in
town meeting or make their own laws.
We may be sure that the farmers who
came to have their horses shod or their
ploughshares sharpened, or fishermen
who wanted work done, expressed their
minds freely upon public affairs. and
that the blacksmith had something to
say while making the anvil ring by
his sturdy blows. Three years passed,

boys and meadows of Scituate and
bingham.
Through his efforts a furnace was
constructed and the ore dug from a
bog and smelted. 1t was the begin
ming of an industry which lasted many
years. His enterprise went further. He
built mill on Bound Brook, where the
water tumbled over the rocks to the
sea. The brook at the falls was the
boundary between the colonies OF Ply
mouth and Massachusetts. 1t was OF
great service for large section of the
country in both colonies.
Mordecai Lincoln helped build the
bingham Westinghouse. The elders
decided just what seats people should
occupy, and they assigned an honorable
seat to him in the front gallery.
He wanted his grandchildren to be
well educated, and in his will be-
queathed f10 to aid them in Harvard
College. We do not know in what
year the blacksmith's eldest son, Nor
decai, Junior, married, neither is the
maiden name of his wife to be found
on any record. We only know that
after the birth of a son the husband
became widower.
Although Massachusetts, was sparse
ly settled, people were emigrating
from the province. Mordecai Lincoln,
with his son John, made his way to
Freehold, Monmouth County, N. j. The
citizens of that county regarded him
as worthy of their esteem. Hannah
Salter, daughter OF Richard and Sarah
Bovine Salter, gave him her hand in
marriage. Mr. Salter was a lawyer,

and Sir Edmund Andres saw the streets
of Boston suddenly swarming with
armed men, who came from Cambridge,
Roxbury, bingham, Hull and other
towns put an end to his government
and re-establish their own.
Blacksmith Lincoln thought the
time had come when the people of
Massachusetts should no longer be de-
pendent on England for iron. There
was an abundant supply Of ore in the

Judge and member of the Provincial
assembly. Hannah's uncle, Captain
John, Bower, was rich. He remembered
Hannah Salter Lincoln in his will, CIV
ing her ESQ. Her husband was so
greatly esteemed that in title-deeds he
was styled gentleman" He was
thrifty, and purchased several hun
bred acres of land. He wanted more,
and visited the valley Of the Schuylkill,
in Pennsylvania to see for himself
whether or not the lands there were as
fertile and beautiful as reported. He
was so we'll pleased that he resolved
to become citizen Of Pennsylvania,
and remove to Amity township.
1t seems conclusive that John did not
20 with his father, but remained in
Freehold, and married there. 1t was
on the Schuylkill that the Lincolns,
Hanks and Boone families became as
ISOLATED. When Mordecai Lincoln died
he left George Boone, father of the
more celebrated Daniel Boone, to look
after his will. The lands were equally
divided between the sons, Mordecai,
Jr., Thomas, John and Abraham. John
and Thomas Lincoln later went tn
Virginia. The Boones moved tt

lily also moved farther west. This wal

England out of Canada and the Ameri-
can colonies we're beginning to feel un-

Daniel Boone explored Kentucky, and
thither followed the Lincolns and
Hankses. Abraham, son Of Mordecai
Lincoln, married Mary Shipley before
pushing into the wilderness Of the ter
ritory. They had three children, Nor
decai, Thomas and Josiah. Thomas
Lincoln grew up and married Nancy
Hanks. They settled in log cabin at
Elizabethtown. Here Sarah Lincoln
was born to them. Later they moved
to Rock Spring, where son February

come one Of the grandest men of his
tory was born-Abraham Lincoln.

A naturalist who is much interested
in birds says that the crow is the wis
est of all feathered animals. He has
made number of experiments recent
ly, and declares, that an ordinarily well
educated crow can count to twenty, and
that he has found sentinel crow, very
old and very wise, that can count to-
twenty-six. He made these discoveries
in a very interesting way. Recently
he spent some time in the mountains
of Wales, where company of boys
was camping out. One day he found
a flock of crows gathered round the
body of sheep that had died, and
which lay uear barn. They flew
away as he approached, so he hid him.
self in the barn and waited; but they
would not come back Then he went
out and walked UP the mountain, and
they all settled down again to the feast.
That afternoon he took four boys from
the camp with him and they marched
into, the little building and waited. No
crows came back. Two Of the boys
went out. Still no crows. Then the
other two, went out, and only the natu-
ralist remained. But the old sentinel
crow had evidently counted them as
they went in, and he knew they had
not all come out. AT last the natural
list left the building and straightway
all the crows returned This expert
ment was repeated number of times
with varying numbers of boys, but the
crows kept count, and would not come
down until the building was entirely
empty.
