YOUNG LlNCOLN'S LIBRARY.

When Abraham Lincoln was a
small boy he mad very few books.
There was no need for him 10 consult
list OF the hundred best BOOKS. His
earliest possessions consisted of less
tnan half dozen volumes-a pio
neer's library.
First, OF course was The Bible, a
Whole library Iii itself, if properly un-
derstOod, and containing every sort
OF Aterat ure-otorIes, poems, dramas,
addresses, oratIons, histories, some
simple enough Tor the youngest child,
others ia king the wisdom of the learn
ed. Second was "Pligrim's Progress,'
with it's quaint Oh 4racters ana vivid
scenes related In simple, vigorous En-
glish Hsop's Fables'' was n third
and Introduced the log cabin boy to a
wonderful range of characters the
gods of mythology, the different ranks
and classes of mankind, and every
amman under the sun. Fourth was a
history of the United States, in which
there was the charm of truth and
were learnt q the lessons of patriotism
shat Lincoln's manhood put into
action. Last came Weems' Life of
Washington" a queer, Stilted book,
but one full of detail that made Wash
ingtOn seem a living example.
These five books We're the beginning
Of Lincoln's educatiOn; and what wise
man has outgroWn them all?
From the Bible, "Pilgrim's Prog
ress," and "Hsop" the boy Lincoln
learned the power and beauty Of plain
English words, and saw that the
grandest thoughts and most poetic
imaginings needed only the strong
little words of every day. Whon,
therefore, in later life he wished to be
sure he understood any matter, it be
came his custom to translate it into
words such As Il child can understand.

Ceylon's Sacred Tree.

The oldest tree in the world Is said
to be the bo-gah or the sacred DO of
Ceylon. 1t Is located at Anuradha-
pura, the former capital Of the kings
of Ceylon, and was planted in the year
2SS B. C. In all these twenty-five GEN.
turtles the tree has been honored I'M
der every dynasty and spared by all
invaders. Millions Of pilgrims have
gone from all parts Of India to kneel
at its foot, and even at the present
time its leaves are piously gathered by
the faithful, and cherished as holy
relics. AS far back as the fifth CEN
fury Fa IIian. a noted Chinese trav-
eler, went to visit it. Today the sacred
DO Is as much ruin c3 any of the
innumerahle ancient monuments that
surround it. Its branches are sus-
tanned by means Of large pillars, and
its trunk is propped up by mason
work in the shape Of pyramid, the
height of which increases from CEN
fury to century. Around it stand al
tars, and on them pilgrims place their
offerings. A sacred incloseure guards
the tree from the irreverent, and in
1t is a temple, the priests Of which
spend their entire time in looking
after the welfare Of the DO.

There is no reason why the clothes
cleaned at home cannot be ironed up
TO the same standard Of excellence that
comes from sending them to the laun-

the desired object is the purchase Of
a package of Defiance starch at any
grocery. Use it once and you will I'M
derstand why clothes ironed at the
laundries have that mild, glossy ap-
pearance. All first-class laundries use

BIRD-WALKs FOR PLEASURE.
Birds Among the Eastern Hills Studied
by Parties.


by Parties.
One Of the latest summer diversions
among those who spend their outings
in the hills and country places o. New
England is birdwalks. Parties of two,
three, or perhaps a dozen, start out at
4 or o'clock in the morning, equipped
with all the essentials for intelligent
bird-study. Our woods are full Of
feathered songsters, whose everyday
life, from dawn to sunset, Is as full of
interesting events to many as are the
lives of members of the more conspicu-
GUS human family. Often these walks
are really classes, conducted by able
instructors in the branch Of natural
history taken up in this way. What is
learned of bird-lore, and the exhilarat-
ing effect of such early morning out
ings, are ample return for the small
preparation made. A good pair of
field glasses is, Of course, necessary
for the bird-walker. Often breakfast
a party, and eaten, picnic-fashion, at
or Z in some pretty, dewy place, with
the birds chirping and fluttering all
around. Many Of us are quite familiar
with the goodnight songs and ca
dences of birds, but only the bird
walkers can pretend to know much
about the good-mornings of our happy
little brothers Of the alr.-Philadelphia

Geography and Dates.
Thackeray had most confusing
manner of mixing up the names of hie
characters, and in the Newcomes, after
killing off old Lady Glenlivat and dis
missing her from the story, he brings
her to life again to help out the plot
Greasy, in his Fifteen Decisive Bat
ties of the World" makes Theodore
commander of the left wing of the
allies at the battle of Chalons, al
though that battle took place four
years before Theodore was born. An
thony Trollope pictures one OF his
characters, Andy Scott, as coming
whistling up the street with cigar in
his MOUTH which shows that Andy
was a versatile genius. Dickens In
Hard Times" speaks of the Great
Bear and Charles Vain as If they
were different consultations, and Zoia
in his "Lourdes," states mat the deaf
and dumb received their sight and
hearing. Wilkie Collins, on one &C.
casion makes the moon rise in the
west, and Rider Haggard, in king
Solomon's Mines" contrives an eclipse
Of the new moon for the benefit of his
readers and the facilitation of the
workings of his plot. In 1.-THE Battle
Of Naseby" Macaulay makes Puritan
soldier say of the Royalists, Their
coward heads predestined to rot on
Temple Bar" Traitors heads vert
not so exposed until thirty-fve years
after Naseby. and no Royalist head
was ever so displayed. Campbell says,

of America are songless. Shakespeare
calmly introduces a printing press

makes clock strike in ancient Rome

in Henry w." speaks of turkey cock,

from First street, South. Valley City,
North Dakota:
"Ever since nlafured suffered with

not seem to understand what the
trouble was and the medicine ne pre-.
scribed from time to time did not help
me. He finally suggested that have
an operation. One of my friends who
had been cured of q similar affIicfion

to give Ii q trial first, and SO used II
for three weeks faithfully. My pains

he does not often make cure Is be-
cause he does not recognize the trouble.
In a large majority Of the cases ca
tarrh of the female organs Is the cause.
Peruna relieves these cases promptly
because it cures the catarrh. Peruna Is
not a palliative or sedative or a ner-

for catarrh and cures catarrh wherever
it may Turk in the system.
This girl was lucky enough to find
Peruna at last AS she says, the doc

the trouble was and the medicine no
prescribed from time to time did not
help her. Peruna hit the mark at once
and she is now recommending this
wonderful remedy to all the other girls

CURVED SPINE IN COLLEGE.
Surprising Number of Students Found TO
BE Poorly Developed.


DR.. Jay w. Seaver, a director and
physical examiner OF the gymnasium
at Yale university, declares that more
students in American institutions OF
learning are imperfectly developed
than is generally imagined. A sur
prisingly large number Of cases Of
scoliosis, or curvature OF the spine, has
been found in investigation pursued at
eighteen American colleges, one OF
them being Yale, DR.. Seaver, being
the collator of the data, has made the
results public. Nearly $1,000 students
were examined during the last five
years. That number includes about
1000 men OF the successive freshman
classes at Yale. Dr. Seaver found that
sc per cent or III students, in the
Yale incoming classes were scoliotic.
Similar data from other universities
show approximately like results, which
has led DR.. Seaver to the conclusion
that scoliosis is the commonest physi-
cal deformity to be met with among
euuSatcu AmciiSah yOuhS AaNh'
Sewers observations Of the men gave
the additional data that men noted
as bookish and ambitious for scholar
ship honors are in the ratio Of one out
Of eighteen scoliotic, due possibly to
sedentary habits and long addiction to
constrained positions at reading desks.
The average student, not too much
addicted to work. suffers in the ratio Of
5.5 per cent. Among athletes scarcely
one in sixty has been found with
spinal curvature. In case Of scoliosis
being found the victim is given a pres
cribed course Of careful exercise,
which, in many cases, has cured or
modified the trouble.

Vehicles Impede Armies.

Armies are adding so many curious
vehicles to their impediments that 1t
is a grave question in some quarters
whether their mobility will not be Sc
riously impeded in future wars. There
were the movable forge, the movable
ermatorium, the hospital, the ice ma
chine, and now comes the travelling
disinfecting apparatus. The latter Is
a wagon so fitted that 1t can readily
move from camp to camp to disinfect
the clothing OF the soldiers.
