Gift of a Historic village.

It is announced from Constantinople
that the little village Of Hissarlik, in
Asia Minor, where DR.. Schliemann
found. in 1870, ruins and treasures OF
ancient Troy, has recently been present
ed by its owner, Frank Calvert, an Eng
lishman, to the Imperial Osman Museum
of Antiquities in Constantinople. This
has been done that the historic place
might be under the protection OF the
government. Mr.. Calvert began as long
ago as 1868 to excavate for the ruins OF
Troy. He dug first in the village OF
Ballidagh, near Bunarbaki, and it was
not until 1868 that his attention was
directed to Hissarlik. He Immediately
bought the village, and two years later
he granted DR.. Schliemann permission
TO make excavations there. New York

Little Bobby is boy who believes
everything that anybody tells him. His
father occasionally brings home to din
ner one of his friends who is a sort OF
q wag in his way. He noticed how cred
ulous Bobby was and RECALLED the little
boy with all sorts of nonsensical stories
One was that if Bobby buried a chest
nut at shutdown and made wish for
pony the animal would spring up out
of the ground. Bobby took the story to
heart He procured chestnut and
planted it with impressive ceremonies.
Every morning he was ON hand to
greet the pony, but it never came, and
when the ground was frozen hard one
morning Bobby gave up all hope, and
since then he refuses to listen to the
stories of his fathers jolly friend.

his tail by way of invitation to romp

A Uniuue Character.

Mr.. Lincoln stands as the one unique
character in American history. he
comes like Gods early prophets, rising
into the midst of events from an unex-
pected quarter, and being developed,
educated and matured for speciai
work. His character is the foundatloh
and expansion of his greatness. Inc
nrincipal element in his character was
his moral sense He asked always con-
corning every enterprise, Is it rightF
This determined what he would do. he
seemed to have always God before his
ewes. Often when darkness was too
thick to be penetrated by the eye OF hu-
man wisdom his open ear caught the
voice of duty, and he walked into the
narrow way up to the most exaiteo
levels of human greatness because ne
walked as seeing him that Is Invisible
The next element of his character
was his reason. He did not act on intu-
ition; he did not jump to conclusion
without careful consideration OF the IN
teryening steps. He carefully tested MS
premises. and when he found them true
he mt his foot forward upon them ana
straiphtened up to stay. This made him
slow, but it made him what Mr.. Cough
called him, lawful sot.
The next element Of his character was
his common sense, the most uncommon
thing to be found among men. HIS s.o-
RES. which were many. where parallels
and fables embodying the deep phiioso-
ply of common sense They were con-
crete arguments for the common people
These three points-his moral sense,
his reason and his common sense-are
three fixed points through which the
great circle Of his majestic character was
drawn. Had he lacked either OF these
we would have been buried beneath the
ruins of the republic. Had he lacked
the f,rst he would have been villain
Had he lacked the second he would nave
been fool. Had he lacked the third nt
would have been a dreamer. Having
