A Hundred Years, War Ended.

South Africa, China and the Philip
pines are not the only countries where
war is in progress. In different parts OF
the world campaigns of long standing
are being carried on daily. Some of them
have never been heard of in this
country Others have been forgotten.
Under the latter head comes Ach1n,
where tor years the Dutch have been
striving to subjugate the natives, race
so important that at one time its rulers
received embassies from the greatest
potentates in Europe, that of England
included. Achin is probably the most
war ridden state in the world. For a
hundred years it has known but little
peace, first with one land then with an
other, but principally with the Dutch.
The end of this protracted war is, how
ever, believed to be within sight at last.
During the last three years the Dutch
have won repeated victories. Batoeillk,
the strongest fortified garrison of the
Achinese, is hard pressed, and its fall is
expected to result in the surrender of the
natives. A race that can resist for a
number of years a well organized in

vasion OF European troops is worthy of
some attention. The country is situated
in the north OF Sumatra. 1t is the only
state in the island that still remains in
dependent of the Dutch, but, as already
foreshadowed, its independence appears
to be now doomed. The population
numbers about 328,000. Before its de-
cline, which commenced early in the
eighteenth century, Achin was in close
touch commercially with England. 1t
was to the port of Achin that London
merchants directed their first efforts
toward securing trade in the Indies.
Queen Elizabeth sent confidential COM
nunications to the King of Achin by
special envoy, and James also cores
pended with the reigning monarch, who
lived in such luxurious style that he had
nine hundred state elephants. To this
day there stand near the gate of the
Kings palace a couple of brass cannon
of extraordinary size. They were pres
ent from James to the ruler Of Achin.
They still bear the founders name and
the date legibly inscribed upon them. So
considerable, in fact, was Achin's one
time power that to reduce Malacca it
fitted out an armada of no fewer than
five hundred ships, hundred of which
were larger than any then used in Eu-
rope. The ships carried sixty thousand
men, with the King himsefin command.
Moreover, at one time, Achin produced
more gold than any other country in the
East, excepting perhaps Japan. One
chronicler fixes the annual output at
$4,000 ounces. For fifty eight years
female sovere1gns reigned, and the foreign
residents in Achin believe, though er-
roneously, that the Queen of Sheba was
Queen of Achin. The Achinese employ
minted money, including a gold coin
stamped with Arabic characters called
mas" Great stretches of the interior
have not yet been explored, but from
seward two gigantic volcanic noun
tains rising to height Of about II 900
feet are visible.
Little also is known of the language.
This, perhaps, is not strange, notwith-
standing the great career which Achin
once had. Languages, like peoples and
like greatness wither away and are for
gotten where there is a diminuton in
national vigor, or else they change so
completely that they are unrecognizable.
We are, however, able to give the follow
ing mineral table of the Achinese from
one to ten: One, Sab; 2, Qua; 3, Thu; 4,
Fot; S, Limuug; 6. Nam 7, Tuju; s,
Dlappan; 8, Sakurang, and 10, Saplu.
Though once powerful enough to drive
the Portuguese out of the island and to
have fleet and an army that were the
envy of larger countries, Achn has slow
ly drifted into the. limbo of forgotten
states, and now appears destined to dis
appear from the map altPgether.-[Lon-

There is an anecdote in some volume
of French theatrical memoirs narrating
an experience of Mile. Clarion, the
great tragic actress, with a pupil of
hers, girl of strong natural gifts for
the histrionic art but far too frequent
and too exuberant in her gesticulation.
So when the pupil was once to appear
before the public in a recitation Mile.
Clarion bound the girls arms to her
side by a stiff thread and sent her thus
upon the stage.
With the first strong feeling she had
to express the pupil tried to raise her
arms, only to be restrained by the
thread. A dozen times in the course of
her recitation she was prevented from
making the gestures she desired until
at the very end she could stand it no
longer and in the climax of her emo
ton she broke her bonds and swung
her hands to her head.
When she came off the stage, she
went humbly to where Mile. Clarion
was standing in the wings and apollo
gized for having snapped the thread.
But you did quite right!' said the
teacher. "That was the time to make

Alphabet on Pins Head.

There is a man in Philadelphia who
wears a commonplace,loo looking little pin
as watch charm. To the naked eye it
is not different from the millions of other
pins. Yet its head is masterpiece Of
the engraver's art, for on it is engraved
the English alphabet in Old English let
tering, and in the centre is cut the year
when it was done, 1900"
The naked eye cannot distinguish a
scratch on the pins head, but power
tul magnifying glass, such as is used by a
Matchmaker, reveals the letters of the
alphabet IN proper order around the edge
of the mead, every character separate,
and perfectly formed
There was on exhibition at the Paris
Exposition last year a marvel of Lilipu
tan work, the writing of the Lords
Prayer on paper one-eighth of an inch
square. This was done by Fred Swarts
Brink, a penman in Philadelphia. He
regarded it as the finest work OF the kind
ever done, but when he saw the engrav-
ing on the pins head be confessed that
he had been outdone. He bought the
work of the engraver, August Starcke,
for tritle and recently carried the pin to
jewelIer and requested salesman to
have it gold plated and little ring SOL
dered on the body OF the pin, so that he
could attach it as charm to his watch
chain.
Some sentiment connected with the
pin, eh ?" asked the salesman.
None at ALL" replied the customer.
Just look at the head through glass"
The jeweller did so, and then discovered
the alphabet. The engraver who did the
work spent oneyear at it, and so tedious
was it that he could only work at it a
few minutes at a time.

April Magazines.

The April St. Nicholas is full of good
things for old and young and perhaps
the most not able article is Cleveland
Moitetts account OF the adventures of

ventures and like everything else in this
magazine is splendidly illustrated. The
Canadian voyageur is the pilot especial
ly considered, and all who have made the
trip down the lachine rapids will be
greatly interested A full page picture
OF Princess Victoria when four years old
appears in connection with a charming
story OF her dolls, and Elizabeth Finley
writes about the only Eskimo in the
United States.
Nature study will receive a valuable
stimulus by all who read THE Story Of
the Beaver" in April McClure's as told
by William D. Hubert. The writer tells
OF colony of beavers that lived in north
ern Michigan and the story is a complete
Interpretation of the beavers life. The
pictures, reproduced from photographs,
add much to the value OF the article.
Other strong articles are an appreciative
character sketch OF Tolstoi by Hon.
Andrew D. White, ambassador to Ger
many, and another series of the graft"
stories by Josiah Flynt. The latter
writer gives us the opinions of the
toughs" of the corruption in New York
and from their point of view the story is
most valuable sociological study.

President Lincoln on Saloon Smash

1t will probably be news to most read
ers, saws the New Nation, that the ques-
ton of saloon smashing is one upon
which we have the opinion of so eminent
a statesman and so accomplished a law
yer as Abraham Lincoln. In orabout the
year 1889, while Abraham Lincoln was
praeticing law at Springfield, Is women
OF Clinton, ILL.,, after having repeatedly
pleaded with a liquor dealer to refrain
from selling to their husbands, raided his
saloon, smashed in the heads of his bar
reIs with axes, and broke his demijohns
and bottles. The women were arraigned
under indictment for the mischief done.
They were without counsel for defense,
when, on the day of trial, Mr.. Lincoln
entered the court room, and was asked by
them to address the court in their behalf
Mr.. Lincoln said: MAY it please the
court, will say few words in behalf Of
the women who are arraigned before your
honor and the jury. l would suggest,
first that there be change in the indct-
ment, so as to have it read, The state
against Mr. Whisky instead Of The
state against the women 1t would be
far more appropriate. Touching this
question, there are three laws: First,
the law of self-protection; second, the
law of the statute; third, the law of God.
The law of seli-protection is the law of
necessity, as shown when our fathers
threw the tea into Boston harbor, and
in asserting their right to life liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. This is the
Ii l.
has persisted in selling whisky has had
no regard for their wel-being or the well
fare Of their husbands and sons. He has
had no fear of God or regard for man.
neither has he any regard for the laws of
the statute. No jury can fix any dam
ages or punishment for any violation of
the moral law. The course pursued by
this liquor dealer has been for the demon
alization of society. His GROCERY has
been nuisance. These women, finding
all moral suasion of no avail with this
fellow, oblivious to all tender appeal,
alike regardless Of their prayers and
tears, in order to protect their house
holds and promote the welfare of the
community, united to suppress the ndi-
sance. The good of society demanded
its suppression. They accomplished what
otherwise could not have been done"
AS a result of the speech the women
were released by the court upon their
own recognizance, and, so far as can be
learned, no further action was taken.
The facts may be found in Cofin's Life
OF Lincoln" page 10Y, and in Herndon's
Life of Lincoln" edition OF 1889, page
215.

Can | Make a Farm Pay.

Writing an answer to the often put
question, Can Make a Farm Pay ?"
Prof. Bailey, of Cornell, gives in The
Worlds Work for March some good adj
vice. There must be, first of all, he saws,
a love of independence, love of the
country and an ambition to work for the
works sake. Speaking of the love of
country life lie says:
Half of country life is in the living. 1t
is in the point of view. 1t is the way in
which we look at things. Thoreau re-
joiced when it rained, because he knew
that his beans were happy. One day my
man was agitated because the wood
chucks were eating the beans. He would
go to town at once and buy gun. l
asked him how many beans the wood
chucks would probably destroy. He
thought from one-eighth to one-quarter
OF an acre. Now, one-quarter OF an acre
of field beans should bring me net cash
return of three or four dollars. told
him that he could not buy gun for that
money. If he had gun, he would waste
more time killing the woodchucks than
the beans would be worth. But the
worst part OF it would be that he would
kill the woodchucks, and at daylight
morning after morning l had watched
the animals as they stole from the
bushes, shifted the soft morning air, and
nibbled the crisp young leaves. Many a
time l had spent twice four dollars for
less entertainment. My neighbor
thought that l ought to cut out the
brlers in the tence corner. l told him
that liked to see the briars there. He
remarked that some folks are fools. l
replied that it is fun to be fool"

A popular Cleveland doctor tells this
story of bright boy, his own, who had
reached the mature age of nine after an
early career marked by many wild and
mischievous pranks. His restless nature
has made him something of a torment
to his teacher at times, and one after
noon not long ago she kept him after
the Others were dismissed and had a
serious talk with him. Perhaps she was
little afraid that her admontions were
falling on stony ground. Any way she
finally said; 81 certainly will have to

An arrangement in the linen closet of a
recently built house is suggestive. In
lieu of wide, deep drawers sometimes
provided to hold household linen, which
are difficult to move when filled, the
closet has deep shelves fitted with covers
at the sides, which let down. In this
way the linen was perfectly protected,
and closed in to hold the perfume of the
lavender sprinkled over it, and at the
same time access to it was easy.

tea a a certain house. Immediately on
being seated at the table little daugh
ter OF the house said to the guest abrupt
ly: "Where is your wife ?"

ated from his better half, was surprised
and annoyed at the question, and STAN
mered forth the truth:
Il don't know"
Don't know" repeated the child.
"Why don't you know"
Finding that the child persisted in her

of her parents, he decided to make
clean breast of the matter and have it
over.at once, so he said with calmness:
"Well, we don't live together. We
think, as we can't agree, we'd better
not"
He stihed groan as the child began
again, aud darted an exasperated look
at her parents.
But the little torment would not be
quoted until she exclaimed:
Cant agree Then why don't you
