order that he shall not only be less
the victim of outside relations and
conditions, but also that he may better
serve the community. The dull re-
spectability and the snug self-satisfac-
ton of the typical domestic man is,
under the stimulus of intelligently
directed training through the agencies
;cited, giving way to wholesome real
cation of personal shortcomings and
an appreciation of world interests.

Iincn1n,a Swear Word.

One story that is told of Lincoln re-
lates to that extreme, cOrrectively crit
icaI attitude which Secretary Seward
ALWAYS maintained toward the presi-
dent.
Mr.. Lincoln and the secretary had
managed to escape from man who
had been boring them, and as they
reached the house the president threw
himself into an armchair and ex-
claimed:
'By jings, governor, we are here"
Mr.. Seward replied by asking in
reprOving tone:
Mr.. President, where did you learn
that inelegant expression"
Mr.. Lincoln Immediately turned to
several young men who had entered
the room in time to hear the exclama-
ton and said:
Young gentlemen, excuse me for
swearing before you. BY jings' is
swearing, for my good old mother
taught me that anything that had a
by before it is swearing. / won't dc
so any more."-Youth's Companion.

Only Sunburned.

Last summer two little girls in a
College avenue family were repeatedly
demonstrated with by their indulgent
mother for playing bareheaded in the
sun. "YOu viii be burned so badly"
said she to them finally, that people
will think you are black children" Her
warning had little effect, however, and
she gave up trying to keep their hats
on.
One day She sent them to a neighbor
a block or SO distant to make some in
quiries concerning a washwoman. Mrs.
S., the neighbor in question, mistook
them for the children of Mrs. Black
who lived in another street nearby.
"YOu are the little Black children,
are you nOt?' she asked
ooh, no." came the prompt response
from the elder "Only sunburned.''-

Wonderful Stones.

The brain of the tortoise was suppos-
ed to contain wonderful stone which
was efficacious in extinguishing fire
and when placed under the tongue
would produce prophetic inspiration.
Another stone possessing the latter
property was to be found in the eye of
the hyena. The head of the cat, how
ever, was thought to contain what
would undoubtedly have been the most
wonderful and most desirable treasure
of all could it have only had real in
stead of an imaginary existence, for
that man who was 50 fortunate as to
possess this precious stone would have
all his wishes granted. - Chambers

ORDERED THE JURY TO ACQUIT
End of the Trial of q Man for the Murder
of His Sister.


Pittsfield, Mass, July 27.-Robert
Fosburg, on trial here this week for
the murder of his sister, is a free man.
Before the jury had a chance to retire
yesterday morning the judge, stating
that the evidence was insufficient to
convict, ordered the jury to find ver-
dict of acquittal. The evidence was
very insufficient-in fact, so much SO
that it is generally held that there
never was any good reason for the
trial.
Fosburg's sister, who had been his
favorite and chum, was killed with a
pistol on the night of Aug 49, 1900.
The family said that burglars had got
into the house, and being discovered
had shot the girl dead. There were
circumstances that caused this story to
be disbelieved, and young Fosburg was
arrested, indicted and tried, with the
result stated. The verdict is univers-
ally approved.

At the conclusion of the race the judges
