LincOIn's Faith.

General Daniel Sickels tells a story
illustrating the tenderness of President
Lincoln's heart, as well as his faith in
Providence and his beautiful optim-
ism. 4 kfter Sickles had been wounded
at Gettysburg he was removed to
Washington, and the President called
on him at the hospital. When the gen.
eral described the battle and the awful
slaughter, ''Lincoln wept like child.''
"While the two armies were converg-
ing" said Lincoln, 81 went into my
room and prayed as 1 never prayed
before. I told God that if we were to
win the battle He must do it, for !
had done all that l could. l went
from my room with great load lifted
from my sho ulders, and from that mo.
ment l never had doubt as to the re.
suit. We shall hear good news from
Grant, who has been pounding away
at Vicksburg for so many months.
am in prophetic mood today, Sickles
and l say that you will get well.'
| "The doctors do not say so."
ST don't care, Sickles; you will gel
well," persisted the President.
And that afternoon, General Sickle:
goes on to say, telegram was received
from General Grant, announcing the
fall of Vicksburg. His own recover,
soon followed.

How to Have Mutton Taste Nice.

There was a great deal of prejudice
against mutton at one time, but it is
passing away. Much OF the ''sheepy
taste" has gone and some OF the peo-
pie who once refused to eat mutton
have wondered where it has gone to.
The ''sheep taste" will not be found in
well-fed sheep which have been
butchered in a proper manner. 1t is
not the wool that gives it the 'sheepy
taste" so much as the intestines or the
gases arising from them. Removing
the intestines soon after death is the
best thing to do. II the pelt can be re-
moved quickly it may be well to dis
embowel the mutton soon after its re-
moval, but If this cannot be done in a
hurry, disemboweling should be done
at once, and the pelting process done
subsequently,. We sometimes pour a
pail of cold water in the trunk of the
sheep which cools the bowels and pre-
vents the generation of gas until the
sheep has been pelted. Again, we dis
embowel first and pelt afterward. All
depends on the help we have at the
time of butchering.-New York Wit

The Fool That Rocks the Boats.

The fool that rocks the boat is con-
fined to no State. and to no section of
any State, in his criminal idiocy. The
fool-killer has, for some unknown rea-
SON, neglected him sadly, and his course
tas gone unmarked either by sound
thrashing or throwing into the river,
with permission to sink or swim, sur
vive or perish-with no one mourning
him if he didn't swim. But he has, at
last, been rounded up and indicted for
willfui murder by the Grand Jury of
Washington county, Maryland, and is
in Jail without bail being allowed.
The particular Fool-who-Rocks-tLe-
Boat, and who is awaiting trial, is
Frank Rhinehart, and his victim was
Miss Marian Finfrock, of York, Pa.
While on an excursion on Lake Roger,
Rhinehart rocked the boat and enjoyed
himself amazingly because of the ter
ror he created among the young ladies
" no were sufficiently unfortunate to be
his guests, continuing the rocking, de-
spite the screams and implorings of his
victims, until the boat capsized, and
Miss Finfrock was drowned. BY some
it was thought she was dead from fright
and terror when the capsizing was
brought about by the Fool that-Rock.

the ground that the death was due only
to the criminal carelessness of the

Naturally, and of course, Rhinehar
said he only intended to frighten the

TEST new CAMPAIGN GUN.
Targets Costing $50, 900 Expect
ed to be Demolished With
Two Shots.

New York, August 29.-Big prepara-
tions are being made at the Brooklyn
navy yard for the test OF the new Gath
man gun, to take place at Sandy Hook
in September. Two immense targets
costing about 5000 each are being
constructed. They are made to repre-
sent a section of a battleship. The
armor plate is backed by five inches of
wood. Then comes two :-inch plates,
and the iron work of ships side braces
and angle iron and inner sides. The
total depth of the framework is six feet.
The supports are of oak timber. Is
inches square. A plate q inches thick
will cover the top to represent deck.
If what the inventor OF the gun hopes
for is demonstrated, the $50, 900 targets
will be demolished with two shots.

them to make the examination and

Inaction would wreck the great plan

And governs the frail life OF man.

At work in some cool, grassy lair.
And the day. rising bright eyed and rosy,
From the depths OF the green eastern sea
When it trails down the western horizon,
Will be morning some distant lea
When winter lies chilling around us,
Earth snowbound and skies sullen gray.

There's a song of the sunshine Of May.
And the flowers that drooped in the autumn
Are waiting to grow up
When the springtime shall smile bright weIcom

Iceland was discovered by the Scan
dinavians about $50 and settled in S74.
In $50 the soil was titled by Irish.
Swedes and Danes. Slavery formed
part of the social system, and it was
by Irish slaves that Christianity was
introduced. In fact, according to the
sagas, the first Morse settlers found the
Irish already in the island and pro-
ceeded at once to dislodge them. The
Irish monks, or ''papas," as they were
called, seem to have retired so precipi-
lately that they left behind them sun
dry books, bells and staffs, articles OF
great value at the time, which they
would not have voluntarily abandoned
Missionaries began to visit the island
about 9S1, and Christianity was estab-
lished in 1000. Letters were introduce
ed, and, while the >sagas still recit-
ed the warlike deeds of their pagan an
cestors, a Christian literature also
arose, beginning with lives Of the
saints. There were schools, two Bene-
dictine and four Augustinian monas-
teries and two converts for Benedictine
sisters. A line of bishops held the see
up to- 1880, when Jonas vi Arassen
suffered martyrdom at the hands of the
reformers. Such was the land whence
came the early settlers to Greenland
and the early explorers Of our New
England coast.-Catholic World.

1. Puni.hment Benenci.l,

This question was asked of a large
number of persons, What punishments
or rewards have you ever had that did
you good or harm?
The majority claimed to be benefited
by punishment. The boys thought the
effects of good plain talk were salu-
tary, and none had complaint to make
against good dressing down." Many
were grateful for having had punish
ment in due season. There is a time in
many boys life when he thinks he is
lord Of everything, and it would seem
that good whipping is often the best
way to cure this defect. Tenderness is
excellent fer most children, but there
are certain natures on whom it is vast
ed because they simply abuse it.
Conscience does not seem to be very
powerful in children before the age Of
9. Preaching or advice unsought for
does not seem to do much good, while
suggestion does. AS to the influence
Of companions, it is greatest between
the ages of 10 and 15. This influence
Is next to that Of home.-Everybody'

To reduce the weight of umbrellas
and make them fold as tightly as pos
.sible is the present aim of all makers.
America has advanced further in this
direction than England, although an
English expert estimates that nearly
SO, 900, 900 worth are produced in Lon
don annually. There have been many
changes and developments in the
handles of umbrellas. One need not be
very old to remember when a carved
ivory mount was the very acme of ele-
gance, although nowadays it is seldom
seen. After this style came period of
enormous rings through which the hand
could be thrust. They were succeeded
by large open crooks. Now the crooks
have been relegated to men, and for
women something more fanciful is pro-
vided. For many of the best umbrellas
beaten silver mounts are being used by
manufacturers and will be seen in the
stores later in the season. Others oi
the same class are furnished with globes
of agate, lapis lazuli and malachite.

The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
reproduces statistics showing the great
number of homicides that go practical
ly unpunished, and laments that justice
is not more sternly dealt. 1t declares:
Human life is held at too cheap a rate
not alone by homicides, but by courts
and juries. Maudlin women decorating
the cells of murderers with flowers and
overlooking the occupant with de-
licacies, aligin themselves with the
homicide and largely aid in preventing
the just punishment for the crime.
Only the rigorous application of the
law which DEGREES that a life shall pay
the penalty for life will stay the arm
of the murderer. He laughs at i'm.
prisonment, for it is, in SO per cent oi
convictions, merely for term to be
determined by the ''good conduct" oi
the man who has shed the blood of his
fellow man and goes practically acquitted
because of sentimentality on the part
of the jury, or of the Court, or Govern
or. 1t once was that ''wretches hang
ed that jury men might dine," but to
day it is too often the jury that hangs
and the homicide dimes and drinks sue
cess to the justice, as it is administer
