LlNCOlN'S DISPATCHES.
why Many of Them Were Dated
From the War Department..

Surprise Is often expressed by very
Intelligent people that so large pro
portion of President Lincoln's most i'm.
portant kilograms and some of his let
ters are dated from the war depart
ment instead of the executive mansion
and none of them from the navy. treas
ury or other administrative bureaus.
This Is generally deemed n very sngu'
lar fact and from 1t writer's have
plausibly drawn the conclusion that
Lincoln personally liked the secretary
of war better than any Of the other
cabinet officers. While this indeed ap-
pears to have been true, II does not nee.
essarily so follow. He certainly held
MIR. Seward In high regard. yet he sci.
dom went to the state department.
In the circumstances II was not ut all
singular. The explanation is easy. War
was the business of that time, and Lin.
coins eyes were always bent to the
army. especially when great military
events were impending. He habltually
haunted the adjacent war department
and army headquarters. where abode
General Halleck. his military adviser.

were strenuously concentrated on the
fight. wherever 1t might be. His fertile
brain saw. too. the critical points in the
game oftentimes far more clearly than
some of his so called "ablest generals"
He not only wished to know what was
going on In the field but performed his
own part nObly. In the heat of action
or mt crucial moments his orders. sug
gestions and inquiries were fired OF
spontaneously from wherever he might
be at the moment. and ut such periods
he was generally "over ut the war de-
partment" with Mr., Stanton. That Is
the chief reason why so many Of his
dispatches are dated at that depart
ment and not because he perhaps held
Stanton In higher esteem than the sec

To pour on water spoils the tea.
The teapot itself should be heated

No less authority than Tung Po, the
Chinese poet, Is quoted for n recipe for

is to be infused, take water from run

fire. 1t is an old custom to use running
water, boiled over lively fire. That

best and river water the next, while
well water is the worst. A lively fire
Is a clear, bright charcoal fire. When

like iish's eyes and lastly 1t boils up
like pearls innumerable springing and
