LINCOLN REMEMBERED HIM.


And Later In Life Used the Same Old Cen.
trifugal Force.
Colonel Thomas Nelson Of Indiana
was accustomed in his story telling
moods to recall his first meeting with
Abraham Lincoln. II was on stage
coach bound for Indianapolis shortly be-
fore the war.
Colonel Nelson took his tall fellow
passenger for country merchant, and
beguiled the journey by telling him
good many things such as rural vari-
ETY. storekeeper might be supposed to
know nothing about.
Rewarded by what he understood to
be looks Of admiration, the colonel
wound up his talk with long disserta-
ton on the subject of centrifugal force,
defining and explaining it in a manner
suited to his listeners presumed capaci-
ties.
AT indianapolis the two men put mp
at the same hotel, and the colonel, after
a careful toilet, went down to the Office,
to find the tall stranger surrounded by a
group of gentlemen who seemed to be
hanging upon his words.
"Who is hep asked the colonel Of
the clerk, and that functionary pointed
to the register, ON which was the name.
"a. Lincoln"
Colonel Nelson was taken quite aback,
and took himself away as quietly as
possible. A few years passed, Lincoln
was president, and Colonel Nelson be-
came candidate for some diplomatic
position. Finally Governor Morton
telegraphed him to come to Washing
ton and meet the president.
II hoped he would not remember me
as his fellow passenger, Colonel Nell
son used to say. But the hope was vain
Lincoln gave him q hearty handshake,
notified him Of his appointment as min
lister to Chile, and wound up by saying
to him:
"Colonel Nelson, do you know have
often thought of your talk about centrif-
ugal force, and now am going to toss
you away of to Chile. youths Com

Have You
An Account?

This is a serious question,
one at which some folks take
offense, yet statesmen are under
the necessity of asking it.
Some folks deal near home,
settle iufrequently, never in
vestigate to see whether they
pay more than they should and
too often allow their accounts to
90 long over due. If you don't
care what the family expenses
are it's a poor way to do if you
want to leave your children in
affiuent circumstances when
you are gone. Now it is quite
an advantage to have an open
account at a well-known house,
who can execute your order
promptly. Often persons say
they don't want an account and
will pay in a few days. But
we cannot keep memoranda of
charges; it isn't safe or good
business. The stock found in
ordinary stores is usually stale,
uninviting and inferior, while
the stock in our store is turned
so frequently and so carefully
watched that it is at all times
fresh. Our stock in trade con-

cacies from every civilized ma
ton. Send for our catalogue

A Phenomenon That Doesn't Exist.

Every one has observed the apparently
enlarged diameter of the full moon
when seen just after it has risen. The
orb Is seemingly much larger than when
at higher elevation. The generally re-
ceived explanation is that, in some I'M
accountable way, the lower atmosphere
has magnifying effect And yet If
Luna is viewed through tube whose
opening just takes in the moon when
near the horizon, and afterward when
on the meridian, it will be seen that
there is no difference whatever. 1t is al
together likely that the apparent en-
largement is produced by the effect OF
unconscious oerebration, that we thus
compare the orbs size with that Of the
terrestrial objects nearly Oh line with
it on the horizon or hilltops, which are
known to be of large dimensions, such
as houses or lofty trees, whose scale OF
angular projection is reduced in reced-
ing into the distance more than Is usu-
ally supposed. AS matter OF fact, the
delusion is quite the reverse Of what we
might expect, for when the moon is
above us it is about 1000 miles nearer
the observer than when it is rising or
setting, for In the latter cases we are
looking at It over half the earth 8 diam
eter in addition to the distance from the
surface turned toward it.-New York

Early English matchmaking.

/ am unable to trace any reliable evil
dence of English watches having been
made until quite the end Of the six
teenth century, although German and
French productions were imported ear
lier. Derham, in the second edition OF
his Artificial Clockmaker, published
in 100, mentions an eight day watch
which he was told belong to Henry VIII,
but the context clearly shows weight
timepiece is referred to. Among the pos
sessions Of Edward vi, as quoted by
Wood from a royal household book, is
"oone larum or watch of iron, the case
being likewise of iron gilt with two
plummettes of led" The first words Of
this description may seem to indicate q
watch with handspring, but such an
assumption is at once dispelled by the
mention of the "plummettes Of led. !"
That Elizabeth owned large number
of watches is certain.
In 1871 the Earl Of Leicester gave to
his royal mistress lone armlet or sha-
kell of golde, all over failely garnished
with rubyes and diamonds, haveing In
the closing thereof clocke. . From this
it will be seen that the modern custom
of wearing the watch in a wristlet Is
but a revival of sixteenth century fash
ion. 1t is said that Mary, queen OF
Scots. had two deaths head" or skull
