Maori Girls Swimming Feat.

a story Of plucky girl comes from
far-off New Zealand. A Maori girl,
aged 16, was crossing Lake Tampa in a
canoe, and the occupants were left strug-
three and ten years. When fully half
mile from shore a squall capsized the
canoe, and the occupants were strug-
Cling in the water. 1t was impossible
to right the canoe, but the girl did not
lose her self-possession. She placed the
children as securely as possible on the
bottom of the boat, and then, slipping
off her wet skirts, she took the towing
rope in her teeth and swan to the shore,
with the canoe and its precious cargo.
All Maori girls are powerful swimmers,
and the feat would hardly have been
possible to a girl of another nation.

try.
The original Lincoln cabin had been
torn down and the materials had been
moved away, as stated by man named
Tom Davenport, who used the logs in
his own house.
Mr.. A. w. bennett, New York gen.
tleman, not long ago bought the Daven-
port house, recovered the logs, and, aft
er much difficulty restored the cabin
exactly as it was originally, using the
very same timbers, door, window and
frames. 1t occupies the former site,
and is in much the same condition as it
was when the Lincolns left it. The
cabin, is 10 feet long, is feet wide, and
about IL feet high, counting from the
floor to the ridge-pole. There is only
one door and one window-the latter an
opening 20 inches square. A large
open fireplace, built in the most print
tive way, occupies nearly the whole Of
one end of the cabin. The chimney
is made of small logs, placed together
just as log houses are built. Inside
of it, fiat stones placed on the ground
made the hearth, and wide Hat stones
placed against the logs kept the fire
within bounds and protected the wood
en- chimney. The inside, from the
hearthstones to the top of the chimney
was thickly daubed with clay. The
chimney reaches only half way to the
roof of the house, and is rounded of
with small sticks. This simple fire.
place furnished most of the light, al
cooking the meals of the family. The
cabin did not have even a loft, or sec
ond story, as have most cabins. 1t
was built by Thomas Lincoln, father
of the president, some time about 1904
or 1905, and was entirely constructed
with an AK and saw, the simple tools
of the pioneers. The clapboard ROOT
was anchored down by small logs, laid
lengthwise ON top of rows of oak boards
There were no nails or hardware. The
door-hinges were of wood, and the
pancless windows had an inside board
shutter, held in place by raw-hidt
thongs. There were chinks and niue
between the logs, and the puncheon floor
was pegged down. 1t lis probable that
after Abraham Lincoln's grandfather
was killed by the Indians at Long Rur
Westinghouse, in Jefferson. county, Ky.
the family went further into the forest
and took up a section of land in La Rue

In n TumhleF.

In q TumbleF.
To produce q realistic illustration of
a rain shower and the winds that ac-
company its formation is an interesting
experiment, though your rain will not
be of water but of alcohol. Take a
glass cylinder closed at one end, about
eight inches high and four inches in
diameter, and partly fill it with 90 per
cent. alcohol. Cover it with an or
binary china saucer, and immerse it
in beth of hot water until the whole
becomes warm, but without allowing
the alcohol to boil. Then take the YES
sci out of the bath and place it on a
table in a cool room. Soon you will
notice q marked change taking place
in the contents of the glass. Thick
vapors will appear on the surface of the
saucer until an exact reproduction OF
clouds in miniature floats high above
the surface of the alcohol, and tiny
raindrops fan into it. This rainstorm
will continue for nearly half an hour
Then you will perceive the upper sur.
face of the clouds is gradually clearing
and that condensation is taking place
further down the glass.
Here you have the ocean represented
by the alcohol, over it the rain descend
ing from the clouds, and above all the
clear atmosphere and serene sky
Should you wish to witness a genuine
storm, veritable tempest in a tum
bier, you have but to replace the warn
saucer by q cold one Immediately upor
taking the glass out of the bath. Tit
rain will then descend in torrents ant
gusts, as If driven by fierce wind.

Harry Chauncey Smith, 10 years old,
is the name of one of the most famous
singers in New York city. When a
toddling child four or five years of age
he used to sing every song he heard,
end later began to pick out his accom-
paniment on the piano with one hand;
but on these occasions, when trying to
play like lady," he would allow only
his sister to be present. He would coax
her into the parlor, shut the door, and
then beg to have the piano opened.
After this was done he would stand by
the instrument for hours, singing
hymns he had learned at Sunday school
and finding the notes to suit.
When Harry was nine years old his
parents moved to New York city, and
he became one of the chorster boys at

Twelve years ago the cabin in which
Lincoln was born was torn down, and

quite forgotten, a second time within
decade since the death of Lincoln,
