Lincoln and the Widow.

During all that dreadful period when
the civil war was ravaging the country
Lincoln held the reins Of the govern
ment and, although worn out with un-
ceasing toll, he never neglected an OPP
portunity to help those who suffered.
One day poor woman, whose tears
had worn burrows down her cheeks gain
ed an audience with Lincoln, and in a
few words related the sad tale of her
husband, who had fought in the Union
army only to lose his life. and of her
three boys who were then fighting. She
requested the discharge of her eldest
boy, that she might have some one to
support her. Lincoln's heart responded
to the appeal, and he replied, Ger
tainly if you have given us all and
your prop has been taken away you are
justly entitled to one OF your boys"
The poor woman went away light OF
heart, only to return later, tearfully
begging the release Of her second son.
The discharge of the first son had come
too late. He was killed before it reached
him. Sadly Lincoln sat down and wrote
the requisite order for the release of the
second son, and rising, handed the pa
per to the afflicted woman, sayings:
"Now you have one and L have one OF
the two boys left. That is no more than
right" Weeping with joy, the poor
mother blessed Lincoln and hurried out
to send her precious order.-Harper's

The Sketch Club.

The work of the Sketch club, dis
tinct display in the recent exhibit at the
Pittsburg School of Design, attracted its
own share of attention The work sub
mitted included pen and ink drawings
and oil and water color sketches. The
work done by the club is entirely indie
pendent of the class work done i'll the
school Members include both graduates
and students. The club meets each Fri
day afternoon during the winter in ono
of the studios of the school and sketches
from life. During the summer the club
enjoys excursions in the suburbs of the
city and makes studies Of landscapes
and outdoor life. For the indoor sketch
ing each member pledges herself to
sit once as a model for the club. The
club has been in existence for several
years. The present officers are Mrs. An
ME r.. Mahood, president; Mrs. Myra
G.. Robinson, secretary, and Miss Janey
jenkins, treasurer. Each year the quail
ity of the work grows in Importance,
while as an incentive to industry the
worth of the club is fully established. -

Combinations and Wages.

In what lines of industry are the
wages lowest and the abuses greatest?
Is it in those where modern methods
have been most extensively employed,
and where machinery, with its attendant
concentration of power, has made the
most progress, OF is it in those whose
methods are survivals from an earlier
stage of industrial order?
To this question there can be but one
answer. The lowest wages, the most I'M
sanitary conditions, the grossest abuses
and expressions are not to be found in
factories, but in tenement house indus
tries. 1t is among the cigar makers, or
among the workers in certain branches
of the ready made clothing trade that
these matters are at their worst. Yet it
is just here that the conditions Of en-
ployment are most like those which pre-
vailed in earlier industrial periods.
The sufferers under the sweating sys-
tenn are not, as is so often charged, the
victims Of the present industrial order.
They are the victims of a survival of
past labor conditions into an age which
has become familiar with better ones. -
Professor Arthur L. Hadley in Atlantic.

A Parliament Custom.

Before the speech from the throne is
read, when the houses are resumed in
the afternoon, by the lord chancellor in
the house of lords and the speaker in the
house Of commons, it is the practice in
both houses to read one bill first time
pro forma in order to assert their right
of deliberation without reference to the
immediate cause Of summons. This
practice is enjoined in the house OF lords
by standing order. In the house OF
commons the same form is observed
pursuant to ancient custom and OF the
following resolution, passed March %,
1903: "That the first day of every sit
ting in every parliament some one BILL
and no more, receiveth first reading
for form sake In the house OF COM
mons the clerk of parliaments produces
an ancient document which has served
this purpose for at least a century, en-
titled "a bill for effectually prevent
ing clandestine outlawries, which is
duly read first time and ordered to be
read second time and will never be
heard of again till the opening OF the
next session. London News.

A scholar travelling in the east says
that he was once in camp with his
friend Ramsay. a man of kindred tastes,
in a wretched Phrygian village far from
the track Of travellers AS they were
striking tents in the morning a heavy
faced boy brought Mr.. Ramsay hand
full of bronze for sale. He sorted it rap
idly on the palm Of his hand and found
among the rubbish one very rare coin Of
Hierapolis. Then he put it all back
again in the boy outstretcbed palm and
offered half dollar for the lot. The boy
accepted the bid, gave back the handful,
took his money and disappeared while
the exultant purchaser went cbuckling
off among the horses
Ten minutes later the boy appeared
again, and, going up to the other Eng
lishman, offered another handful of rub
bish among which was the same rare
Metropolitan coin. The gentleman kept
the bronze in his hand and offered
half dollar for it, which the boy refused,
though the bargain was eventually con-
cluded for a dollar.
Then the gentleman, in high glee,
nailed his companion and, showing his
purchase, informed him that he was not
the only man who possessed a coin Of
Hierapolis.
'Let us compare, said the other,
emptyiug the pocket where his bronze
was jingling.
He sorted the lot and felt in every
pocket. No coin of Hierapolis was there.
To this day three questions remain I'M
answered.:
How did the boy retain the coin in
the first instance in order to sell it over
again?
How, in that remote region, far from
the haunts of travellers, did he know the
value of his find?
And to which purchaser did the coin
really belong?-Youth's Companion.

liar when Amalfl was taken and plum
dered by the Pisans private soldier
found copy which he sold to an oiiicer
for few pence. The value of the discov-
erv was soon apparent and, the precious
volume was taken to Pisa and stored 10

by the Florentjnes, in l4l5, the precious
volume was captured and taken to Flor-
ence. where it was placed in the library
of the Medici.

The Gillie's Excuse.

1t is well known that the queen has a
dislike to the smell of tobacco, and even
such constant smoker as the Prince of
Wales is careful to deodorize himself as
much as possible before being received
by his royal mother. Perhaps the late
John Brown took her majesty s aversion
more coolly than any one else, for his
sporran was always crammed with a
mixture peculiarly black and strong.
On one occasion the late Duke of
Sutherland sent some live deer to Wind
sor under the charge of his head keeper,
who, having seen his charges safely
housed, foregathered with Brown, and
smoke and WHISKY speedily combined in
no small quantities. While the carouse
was progressing John was hastily sum-
moned to the queens presence. and
away he went without changing his
clothes. His sovereign lady soon detect
ed the peccant odor and reproached
Brown with it.
"Hech! Your majesty" said Brown,
"it's nae my fault It's joost contact
with the dukes keeper" He was for
given on the spot.-London Telegraph.

Early English Bindings.

During the reign of Elizabeth the
fashion in binding underwent consid-
cradle change, the graceful simplicity
Of the early work, with its rather severe
and restrained ornament, giving place
10 heavy, overdecorated style, in which
a superabundance of gliding hid power
ty Of design. This style reached its
height in the bindings produced for
James l, which were commonly dotted
all over with fowers-de-luc or thistles,
while the corners were filed with D
heavy block Of coarse design. During
the reign Of Charles the bindings were
as a rule copied from French work and
the designs carried out with very small
tools; but, though foreign influence was
strongly felt at first, the English bind
ers soon struck out line of their own,
and Samuel Mearne, the binder to
Charles III, produced some admirable
work and seems to have introduced the
quantity shaped panel which gave. the
name of cottage binding to certain
class Of work. At little later date an
Edinburgh binder whose name is un-
known, but whose work is easily distin-
guishable, executed some marvellous
pieces of work OH very dark green mo-
rocco. -Athen@um.

Transferring Pictures.


Prints or Autographs NAV be franc

The glass Is cleaned with alcohol and n
poiisher, then coated with fine dammar
varnish, laid ON very evenly. Ii is then

dust, where it is to remain until il is 90
sticky that when touched with the finger

ferred must be soaked in rainwater until
1t is completely saturated, then placed
between sheets of plotting paper and

De moved without danger of tearing out
pieces OF the print. When it is adjusted,
begin at one corner and press the picture
closely upon the adhesive surface, watch
ing 1T continually to see that no air bub
bles appear between the picture and the
vanished surface. When this is finished.
put the picture away again, let it re-
main until quite dry, then lay wet
towel over the back of the picture until
the paper is thoroughly soaked.
Now begin at one corner, and, with
the fingers, frequently dipped in water
so that they will remain wet, rub off
the white paper. Continue this until all
the white portion is removed. This will
leave only the color of the picture upon
the glass. At the finish give the back a
rather heavy coat of transparent var
nish. Let it dry thoroughly and add a
very thin second coat. When this is per-
fectly dry, frame the picture with very
thin glass over the vanished side. Hang
in the window as transparency. A
few attempts may be necessary before
expert handling is acquired, but perse-
verance will bring success, and with
care and little ingenuity very many
beautiful pictures may be prepared at
the most trifling expense. New York

On American Hotel Clerks.

l.. F. Austin, in London Sketch, sup
poses that "the American hotel clerk is
still the dread Of the inexperienced trav-
eler. When you stand in his presence,
you become at once aware that you are
hardened offender and that here is the
magistrate who will appoint a fitting
punishment for your crimes. He growls
the number Of your room as If it were
the condemned cell, and you are little
surprised that he does not assume the
black cap and invoke the divine Glenn
ency on your soul. / used to think he
suffered from overstudy of the rights Of
man and regarded them as social pyra-
mid with himself as the apex.
''In the European hotel the traveller is
accustomed to be treated with considera-
ton. He stays in the house for his own
pleasure and looks upon the administra-
tors as designed for his service. Such a
theory is hateful to the peculiar repub-
licanism of the American hotel clerk.
He is something more than man and
your brother, for he does not recognize
equality, much less deferential civility.
The hotel is house not Of entertain
ment, but correction, and il you do not
care for the discipline you can go else
where without exciting in the clerk the
slightest emotion of surprise or even of
inquiry. Should America ever be dis
posed to try the experiment of an oil
garchy junta Of hotel clerks might
conduct the business of the country with
an impassive severity which would have
astOnished the council of ten.

His Sweet Voice.

The best of men are at times liable to
make very serious mistakes. A man in
Leicestershire village woke in the
night and heard what he supposed to be
the harsh grating of saw on hard
board and at once jumped to the con-
clusion that some bold, bad burglar was
saving a hole in the front door.
He slipped ont of bed, glided like
specter into the hall and again listened
and this time became fully satisfied that
his first suspicious were correct.
Selling his trusty gun, he poured
handful of powder and ditto of shot into
each BARREL capped it and, softly raising
an up stairs window, blazed away in
the darkness, the shot being followed by
a howl of pain from below.
He then hurriedly drew on a few OF
his most necessary garments and went
to investigate the matter, and upon the
first step found the wounded form of a
neighboring youth, who, i'll feeble tones,
explained that he had come over to sere-
made his sweetheart the old mans only
daughter, with song and that when he
was shot he was driving ahead as best
he could ON "Sweet Spirit, Hear My
Prayer"
He expressed no surprise at the old
mans mistake, but thinks that he might
have at least yelled "Who's there?" be-
fore he pulled the trigger, but the shoot
er said he was somewhat excited and
Just little scared. so didn't stop to

A Travelling Library.

An insatiate reader on his travels,
Napoleon complained, when at Warsaw,
in 1907, and when at Bayonne, in 1903,
that his Librarian at Paris did not keep
him well supplied with books. "The
