Good Lord, madam gasped, why

for me TO get damages for you now.
She said she didn't care very much,
and went out, seeming very happy.
Well, 1t just happened that l had

a certain parish are said to have strong

In the peculiarly harsh, strident voice
that SO sadly married his preaching. IF
you insist on knowing, it's your voice
they complain of; they don't like your

cathedral the other day, when your
lordshp was preaching, and as he
went out he said. What fine sermon,

He Handed Her n Pass.
During the civil war Miss N, a
high spirited Virginia young lady
whose father, a Confederate soldier,
had been taken prisoner by the Union
forces, was DESTROYS of obtaining
pass which would enable her to visit
him. Francis +. Blair agreed to obtain
an audience with the president, but
warned his young and rather impulsive
friend to be prudent and not betr0y
her sympathy for the south. They
were ushered into the presence of Mr..
Lincoln, and the object for which they
had come was stated. The tall, grave
man bent down to the little maiden
and. looking scarchkngly into her face
said:
You are loyal, of courseW
Her bright eyes flashed. She hesl-
tated a moment and then, with u face
eloquent with emotion and honest as
his own, she replied:
Eyes, loyal to the hearts core-to Vir-
glnia!'
Mr. Lincoln kept his intent gaze up
on her for Il moment longer and then
went TO his desk, wrote line or two
and handed her the paper With n
bow the interview terminated. When
they had left the room, Mr.. Blair began
to upbraid his young friend for her i'm
petuosity.
Now yoli have done it, lie said.
Didn't warn you to be cry careful?
You have only yourself to blame"
Miss n made no reply, but opened
the paper. 1t contained these words:

can be trusted A. LINCOLN.

A HOGS MOUTH.
The Way II Enables the Animal to

The Way IL Enables the Animal TO
Eat Hickory Nuts.
People often wonder how II Is that
II hog can get all the kernel out of II
hickory nat. or any other kind of nut
for that matter. without swallowing
any of the she'll" said Il man from the
country, but as II matter of fact there
IL nothing mysterious about the proc.
ess Mind you, hogs don't swallow any
OF these harder substances. They get
rid of them, and then it Is just as easy
for them to get rid of the shell of nut
as 1t is for n man or a squirrel. You
might thtuk because a hog brushes
the nut into small fragments that he
would necessarily swallow a good por.
ton of the hull. But he doesn't do any
such thing.
1T IL Il conceded fact among men
who know anything about the subject
that the horse is the most perfectly cou-
structed animal In the world, consider
ing the purposes for which the horse is
used and It's method and habits In life.
But | want TO put In good word for
the hog when II comes to the thing OF
cracking and eating nuts without get
ting any of the harder substances into
the stomach. The horse has very fine
teeth. The back teeth particularly are
finely constructed with view OF enn.
bling the horse to crush its food well
before passing II into the stomach.
These heavy grinders. heavily set In

"But what's the matter with the
teeth of tho hog? what's the matter
with that marvellous process by which
they separate the kernel of the nut
from the hull2 Ii has occurred TO me
that this Is no small achievement. and
nature is at least entitled to some sort
of tribute for her skill in making this
result possible. In the first place the
hogs tongue is more sensitive than
would be supposed. and IL can easily
detect the harder from the softer sub
stances. by some sort of process the
hog Is able to work the bits of n hicko
~ nut hull over to the sides of its
mouth. the tongue being used for the
purpose, and here they are thrown out
Mt the corners. Probably you have no
ticed that the corners OF hogs mouth
are somewhat different from the cor
ners of the mouths OF other animals
The lines of the mouth do not end so
pointcdly. aud hence it Is n much easier
thing for the hog to work the harder
substances which he does not care to
