DISAPPEARING PAPER. :

Invisible ink and Sympathetic"
ink are beaten entirely by new de-
velopment in preparations of this
nature reported by the trade jour
nal La Papeterie. This is nothing
less than a disappearing paper. The
paper intended for this temporary
use is submitted to the following
process: 1t is first stepped in acid
(sulphuric acid by preference), di-
luted according to the lease Of life
1t IS intended the material should
possess. 1t is afterward dried and
glazed and the acid specifically neu-
tralized by means of ammoniac va
por. But the acid still remains in
the pores, and that paper is infalli-
bly, doomed after an existence more
or less prolonged, as the case may
be. 1t is certainly most useful in
vention and should commend itself
strongly to those who cannot trust
their correspondents to "burn these

THE LONDON TAPsTER.
Hard Luck Stories That Take the
Place of Open Begging,

uurU LUCK Stories Vh0t Take the
Place of Open Begging.
The plain and open tapster who ac-
costs you in the street purely to beg
may generally be known by an amaz-
ing overpoliteness in opening the con-
versation. He is the only person
know who begs pardon for taking the
liberty of speaking to you, and by this
sign you shall know him. They all be-
gin by begging pardon for taking this
not so very rare liberty, but only the
buffers go on straightway to tap. The
proficient tapsters approach the tap
sideways, so to speak. Something like
this, with a quick touch Of the hat
brim:
BEG pardon, sir, Pm sure 'umbly
beg your pardon for takin' the great
liberty of speakin' to you in public
thoroughfare like this, which l am
quite aware it is a great liberty, sir,
though trustin' you will kindly pardon
the great liberty of a pore, 'ardworkin'
man, sir, in takin' the great liberty of
askin if this street is the 'Aymarket,
sir?" COR the way to the Strand or the
day Of the month, or something)
You answer the question, but you
don't stop the stream Of apologetics.
Thank you, kindly, sir" pursues the
tapster, pouring out the words "thank
you kindly, sir, If you'll so far pardon
the liberty Of a pore, 'ardworkin' man,
sir, in askin' the question, which I'M
fortunately was forced to take the
great liberty, sir, through bein' out O.

for If accused of begging by some

Didn't Lose His Head.

A man hopelessly lost in the bush
in South Australia, after wandering
about for four days, came upon the
telegraph line between Adelaide and
Port Darwin. He hadn't strength
to go farther, but he managed to
climb pole and cut the wire. Then
he made himself as comfortable as
possible and waited. The telegraph
repairers were sent along the line,
and they came to the wanderer in
time to save his life.

Lincorn's Conception of Duty.

The facts in Il heretofore unpublished
story regarding Abraham Lincoln's
high conception OF his duty as a gov
eminent ~ohiccholdcr were obtained
from the manuscript of the grandson
of George Harrington, who was the
first assistant secretary of the treasury
in the Lincoln administration and a
great personal friend of the latter.
Later Harrington was United States
minister to Switzerland. The grandson
occupies Il position in the treasury de-
partment and is writing the memoirs of
George Harrington. Shortly after Lin
coin was sworn in he sent for Harring-
ton and said to the latter: Harrington.
l want you to take entire charge of my
personal finances. | will turn my sal
airy check over to you every month, to-
gether with what other moneys I may
receive. You may invest them as you
see fit. / don't want to know how you
are handling the money. whether your
investments are successful or failures.
If there are any dividends l will sign
for them from time to time and will
draw on you for my general household
and personal expenses"
President Lincoln's purpose in thus
transferring his private finances to the
charge of another, with instructions
that he be told nothing about what was
being done with them. was to insure
having his mind free from influences
Of a personal and pecuniary character
in d%ischarging the duties of his Office.
If his money was invested in a cor
poration that wanted government con-
tracts President Lincoln did not want
to know it. Aside from avoiding the
possible charge that he was promoting
the affairs of corporations in which he
was financially interested. he wanted
10 satisfy his own conscience that none
of his official acts was Influenced by
the prospect of getting large dividends.
Lincoln had absolute trust and con-
idenca in the integrity of Harrington.
SO much so that he refused to receive
a single receipt for money turned over
TO his agent. That Harrington was
rue to his trust is evidenced by the
fact that Oh the death of Lincoln he
turned owe to Judge David Davis. the
administrator of the presidents estate.

Music the Kernel of welsh Nature.

Music the Kernel of welsh nature.
Music is the very soul and kernel of
the Welsh nature. A musical ear is the
national birthright. Every Welsh
preacher who migrates to an English
church finds the greatest difficulty in
a%bstaining from that weird. peculiar
%intonation of his sermon which is
known as the hwyl and which is often
strange and Objectionable to English
ears.
A remarkable and subtle fact which
will be interesting to English readers
and at the same time significant Of the
constituencies of the Welsh musical ear
is that it is positive discord to many
among the Welsh congregations if the
minister, in giving out the first verse
Of the hymn, does not so pitch his voice
that it shall be in harmony with the
key in which the tune has prelimina-
rily been played by the instrumentalist.

MARINE Af7T.
Virtues and Defects Of the ships
That SniInrS mint.

mat sailors rant.
1t is an axiom with sailors that there
never was Il man who put i'll three
years before the mast who did not
think he could paint Il ship better than
the most skillful l%andlubber that ever
welded Il brush. In the homes Of re-
tired sea captains specimens of this
kind of marine art are often displayed
on the walls to admiring friends and
are handed down as family heirlooms.
A good place for the man who has no
Seagoing relatives or friends to see
such pictures is in some of the win
dows of ship supply stores on South
street in New York. Sailors buy them
occasionally.
Ships that sailors paint are absolutely
correct in every detail. From a brig to
a full rugged three master there is not a
block or tackle missing from stem to
stern or from masthead to water line.
No marine painter could get in half so
much detail if he tried. But the ships
painted by sailors look as if they were
caught fast in frost tipped waves.
There is absolutely no life or any sug.
gestion Of motion about them even
when represented as going under full
sail. When a sailor tries to get in a bit
of landscape as a background, as he
usually does, he makes matters hope
lessly worse. AS a general thing it is a
lighthouse Or a fort looking for all the
world like little images that children
take out of their toy arks.-Ncw York
