Iincofn's Tribute to Common Men.

A Lincoln story which shows that
the great emancipation was quick at re-
partee, and effective as we'll, was told
a short time since. Two hero worship
ers had long desired to meet Abraham
Lincoln. but when the coveted privi-.
lege was finally granted they were I'M
speakably disappointed in the person
atty of the rail-splitting president.
They gazed at him in silence and then
one of them exclaimed in dissatisfied
voice: why, Lincoln is just COM
mon-looking man like u.s." The great
emancipation turned to the speaker and
said gently: Eyes, my friend, but have
the consolation Of knowing that God
loves communicating men!" How
do you make that out?' queried the
other interestedly. "Oh, because he
made SO many Of them!"

Daniel o'Connell, the famous Irish
agitator and orator. had contempt
for physical danger. On certain oc-
casion, as his only surviving son has
recently narrated in Temple Bar,
meeting had been convened and large
crowd assembled In a room on the first
floor OF building in a small city In
ireland. O'Connell was about to adj
dress the people when a gentleman,
pale with fear, made his way to the
platform and hoarsely whispered,
"Liberator, the floor Is giving way!
The beams that shore 1t up are crack
Ing. and we shallsall fall through II In
few minutes" Keep SILENT" said
0'Connelli; then, raising his voice, he
addressed the assembly; Il find that
the room Ia too small TO contain the
number who desire to come In, so we
must leave 1t and hold the meeting
outside the building" At this few
rose and went out, but the majority re-
tanned their seats, Then o'Connell
said Il will tell you the truth; YOU are
IrIshmen. therefore brave men, The
floor Is giving way and we must leave
this room at once. If there ID a panic
and rush to the door. we shall all be
preeipitated into the roof below. but If
You obey my orders we shall be saved,
Let the twelye men nearest the door
go quietly out. then the next twelve,
and so on until all have gone shall
be the last TO leave His instructions
We're oheyea to the letter and he walt"
ed. patient, and calm. till all had gone
out In safety, Then he walked quietly
across the sundering, cracking floor,
reaching the door just as the shattered
beams gave way, And thus, by the
force Of his strong will, a terrible acei-
dent was ayerted, Memphis scimitar.

Care of the Ewes.

The care needed to be given to our
eyes is yearly becoming more apparent.
The first step in caring for the eyes Is
to use them but sparingly. The strain
of steady and continuous work is gen.
orally injurious even to strong eyes.
The woman who has to use her eyes
steadily should give them frequent,
even if brief, vacations. II she has to
write all day, or If she sews continu-
ously, she should give her eyes five
minutes resting spell every two hours.
Dropping the work, closing the eyes,
and keeping them closed for even this
brief time, rests not only the eyes but
the brain, and the work is easier and
more inspiring afterward. Those who
are obliged to use the eyes all day at
business should not use them more
than is necessary in the evening. Fine
sewing, reading and writing should be
quite eschewed.

to estimate that at least three persons

This Is undoubtedly small average.
because some of the brewers and dis

but even at that rate there are not
less than Gil, 1854 persons engaged In
the manufacture and sale OF liquor in
the United States. Estimating the
population of the country at 75,000,O 900,
this would make an average "a ole

Corset History.

The first corset-not counting an
cient notifications of the Grecian zone
or girdle-was introduced into France
by Catherine de Medici. 1t was a
strange affair, and fashioned after the
style of a knights cuirass. The frame
work was entirely of iron, and the vel
vet, which decorated the exterior only,
served to hide frightful and cumber-
some article of torture. In the days
that followed ladies of the court laced
themselves frightfully and wore the
dreadful prison night and day in their
efforts to obtain what they considered
o perfect figure.
