A gentleman who knew Lincoln well
told the following story about "Old
Abe:"
about two years before Mr., Lincoln
ran against Mr.. Douglas for the Unit
ed States senatorship was a witness
in Judge David Davis court in the Nc
Lean county circuit During the prog
ress of the case Mr.. Lincoln, who had
come up from Springfield the night be-
fore, entered the courtroom and stood
before the big stove in one corner Of
the room to warm himself Several
lawyers and acquaintances at once
gathered around Mr.. Lincoln, and he
began telling stories in low voice.
Judge Davis finally arose, stretched
himself and in drawing voice said;
"'See here, now, Lincoln, either you
will have to quit telling stories, or l
will have to adjourn court
"'All right, judge replied Mr.. Lin
coin. I've got business down the
street, so I'll co.
''Mr. Lincoln was the most magnetic,
entertaining man l ever knew. People
have said he was horaely, but when he
was speaking I've seen his face light
up with such brilliant expression
that he looked positively handsome. =

"Good night" he said, and he held her hand
In hesitating way
And hoped that her eyes would understand s.
What his tongue refused to say. n
He held her hand, and he murnured low:

1t seems SO frigidly cool, you know,
This Mister OF ours and Miss

II she seemed inclined to frown,
But the smile on her lips his heartstrings smote
As he longingly looked down.
She spoke no word, but she picked a speck
OF dust from his coat lapel T.
So small, such wee, little tiny heck-
Twas a wonder she saw so well. .
But it brought her face so very near,
In that dim, uncertain light,
That the thought, unspoken, was made quite clear,
And know twas a sweet GOOD night

So many people In towns have to

the back windows are In such close
proximity to those of their neighbors

wedding the oceans.


It Is a remarkable fact that water
which flows naturally into the gulf Of
California and thence into the Pacific
ocean has been virtually lifted across
the backbone of the Rocky mountains,
and now, after being used for irrIga
ton, finds its way to the gulf Of Mexi-
co. A number of small streams on the
other side of Longs peak, which flow
into Grand lake and thence into the
Colorado river, have been diverted by
ditch that finds it's way through pass
10000 feet high into the head waters
of the Poudre. Some 400 cubic feet
per second has thus been diverted from
the Pacific to the Atlantic, slope, where
water is used for irrigating additional
farms in Larimer county, lit Is not
strictly correct to say that this water
has been lifted across the range. But
a feat of sInuous engineering has d.
verted it, which amounts to the same
thing. -Denver Republican

A reflection not altogether without

In a remark made at a recent dinner in

AS the extremely well dressed crowd
surged and swayed round the plat

WORDS.


I cannot tell what would tell thee,
What would say, what thou shouldst hear;
Words of the soul that should compel thee,
Words Of the heart to draw thee near.
For when thou smilest, thou, who fllest =,
My life with joy, and l would speak,
IT'S then my lips and tongue are stillest,
Knowing all language is too weak
Look in my eyes, read there confession;
The truest love has least of art;
Nor needs it words for its expression
When soul speaks soul and heart speaks heart.

Fish and water.


Strange as 1t seems, fish may suffer
death by drowning. When stream
is suddenly swollen with water that
has fallen upon and drained from sur
rounding soil which has been exposed
for some time previously to the suns
rays, the water is warmed and depriv-
ed Of its power of holding proper
complement of oxygen. The vivifying
gas in consequence escapes, and the
fish, deprived of the aids necessary for
respiration, faint and die, as they
would IL placed in tepid water.
A fish, like a man, requires a per-
petual supply Of oxygen to his breath
ing apparatus. A fish gets it's oxygen
from the water, man from the atmos-
phere around him. Reverse the posi-
ton Of the two, and the fish becomes
what is called drowned In the open
air, while man is drowned in the wa
ter. A fish taken out Of water dies
from drowning, because the little blood
containing filaments which comprise
the gills become stuck together and of
course cannot act so as to oxygenate
the blood

A Tree That Yields Electricity.

A German authority has recently an nounced the discovery of a tree in the forests of central India which has most curious characteristics. The leaves of the tree are of highly sen sitive nature, and so full of electricity that whoever touches one of them re- ceives an electric shock. It has a eery singular effect upon a magnetic needle, and will influence it at a dis tance of even 70 feet. The electrical strength of the tree varies according to the time of day, it being strongest at midday and weakest at midnight, Tn wet weather it's powers disappear altogether. Birds never approach the tree, nor have insects ever been seen upon it.

WOMEN oT THE PHILIPPINES.
Their Redeemlng Feature is Thei

Their Reckoning Feature is Their
 Personal Cleanliness.

But the peasant woman shares her husbands work, whatever it may be. labo1ing at the blow behind an ungainiy carabao (water buffalo) in the paddy-feld, or helping to pole a huge lorcha, or cocoanut raft, up or down the river, besides attending to her domestic cares. And 1 take pleas ure in saying that, whatever it's pro prietor's rank or station, the native Philippine nipa hut is invariably a marvel of neatness and cleanliness as 10 it's interior; far superior in this re- speet to the average dwelling-hou be it that of a merchants clerk or that of the governor-general So far as the latter are concerned a decent servant. girl, such as are employed tn America and England, would not be content to remain in one two days. Hundreds of girls are employed in the great cigar factories, and others in the convents labor to weave the far-famed pima lace of the Philippines, several at time sQuatting on the floor around a single frame, picking and manipulating with deft fingers the infnitesima11y delicate fbers. Sometimes they work for months to complete a single mantilla or handkerchief. These native women are rarely employed by the European residents as domestic servants, except in the capacity of lady's maid or cnn- dren's nurse, and even these positions are often occupied by boys. They are very unreliable and the utter absence of the sense of gratitude, so character istie of the entire Philippine race, rem ders it an almost hopeless and very ex- asperating task to attempt to train them as servants. Their only redeem ing feature is their sense of absolute personal cleanliness. but in spite of this many European women prefer to go to the expense and trouble of inn porting a Chinese anna from Hong Kong or Canton rather than to intrust ber children to the care of native girl; although when in her own ca- pacity as mother, the Filipina. so far as observation goes, leaves nothing to be desired Woman's Home Compan- ion.
