Lincoln's Neglected Birthplace.

From the Woman's Home Companion.
The little log cabin in which Abraham
Lincoln was born is no longer upon the
place. During the Nashville exposition it
was carried down there, and since that time
1t has been regular feature at all the
affairs of this kind. Its latest journey was
to Buffalo in 1901, and understand that it
is still there. The place where it originally
stood is a high, barren hilltop, and the
exact spot is now marked by a rude flag
pole. Thomas Lincoln was undoubtedly
determined in building his cabin there by
the spring of delicious cold water that
pours through cavern at the foot of the
hill. The spring is at the bottom of a sink
hole, where the underlying limestone rock
has given way and left a rocky chasm
about dozen feet deep. The break exposes
an outjutting ledge on one sde while on
the other is steep slope of earth and
shattered stone, and close around grow nu-
merous bushes and trailing vines and few
fine trees that cast a pleasant shadow on
the hollow. How many times Lincoln's
mother must have toiled up the hill from
this spring with her water bucket and how
often the little boy must have toddled down
to this cool retreat and dabbled in the flow
Ing water! The spot is a favorite resort
for pleasure parties for miles around In
deed, these parties constitute the bulk Of
the visitors to the shrine; yet in spite of
Its comparative inaccessibilty, an OCCASION
al stranger from a distant state makes a
pilgrimage to this lonely Kentucky pasture.

Bad Conditions at the Police Court.

have been asked repeatedly to say what
I think Of the condition Of the Police Court
building. Inasmuch as fresh interest
seems just now to have awakened as to
this topic, ask to contribute the following
thoughts to the discussion: I do not hest
tate to say that the Police Court building
Is menace to the health not only of the
occupants of its cells. but of the Judges
clerks. marshals and attendants This re-
suits primarily from the lack of room for
the transaction OF it's business, but the
condition Is greatly aggravated by the fact
that the building is shut in on two sides by
other buildings, which exclude both light
and air from that portion Of the premises
where OF necessity the clerks offices and
prisoners cells are located. Take the first
floor above the basement, where the Dis
trict branch of the court is held, for ex-
ample The entire court room is none too
large for the accommodation of the Judge
Jurymen and witnesses, but nearly one
quarter of the floor space is rallied off for
the dock, where from twenty to a hundred
prisoners are daily crowded to await trial
On busy days, when the dock is full and
the benches for witnesses and spectators
are crowded, the exhalations from this
reek1ng mass Of humanity are unspeakably
foul.
1t Is true, of course, that some obiec-
Uonable sights and smells are inseparabe
from the assembling of so large a number
of the class mentioned, even under the most
favorable circumstances but larger floor
space, better circulation of air and heavens
sunlight would greatly ameiorate the ex-
listing conditions.
But the insanitary conditions there pre-
vailing are by no means the only objections
to that building for Its present uses It's

all totally untitled for a police court build

Closer Divorce Laws.
From the Pilgrim.

From the Pilgrim.
In the last decade a gradual removal of
some Of the grossest laxities Of law has
been accomplished by slight reduction in
the ratios Of divorce to marriage In the
different states. North Dakota, which grant
ed divorces after only ninety days of resi-
dence, has increased the period to year,
and now forbids the marriage of divorced
persons for three months after the granting
Of a decree. Wisconsin has forbidden re-
marriage under a year. Minnesota and
Oregon have made remarriage unlawful
within six months of the entry of the final
decree of divorce. and the District of Co
lumbia has increased to three years the
term of residence prerequisite to the grant
ing of divorce. These with a few other
legal Improvements show a slightly upward
trend in response to tardiIy aroused public
opinion. Yet the disgrace and misery of the
conditions that still exist are but limited at
in the appalling statements which follow.
In the old settled states the ratio emitting
fractions. of divorces to marriage is: In
Connecticut, 1 to Is; in Rhode Island. to
8; in Massachusetts,. 1 to 20; in Ohio, to
10. Among the newer states. Michigan has
a ratio of divorce to marriages, and In
diana, which improved her notorfously loose
laws, and. for time. lessened her disgrace
full number Of divorces. has for some reason
again deteriorated. and in 1900 granted one
divorce to every Ave marriages.

Work of Classification.

1.-THE work of classification of patents
has progressed satisfactorily during the
past year, and the results Of this valuable
system are now available to facilitate the
examination of the question Of novelty of
Inventions
1.-The duties of the assignment division of
this office are to record assignments of pat
ents and inventions and to furnish manu-
script copies of records Of the Office when
required. During the year 1902 "a ,091 deeds
were received for record, Of which 22,833
were recorded. Copies Of records were also
made which included 1856, $50 words. The
number Of deeds received was 1 ,102 in ex-
cess of the number for the preceding year.
and the number of words written in fur
nishing copies of records was 2O56, Ito more
than for the preceding year. These figures
serve to indicate the rapid growth Of this
portion of the work of this Office.
There has been during the last year a
very great reduction in the number of COM
plants Of losses of money in this office.
The sums of money alleged to have been
sent to the patent Office and which were not
received for the first eight months of the
year 1901 were 1887 "a; during the CORE
spending period Of 1902 the corresponding
sums amounted to $500 This result fol-
lowed changes which appeared necessary
to be made in August, 1901, and following
these changes the alleged losses of the last
four months of 1901 were only Sc, and dur
ing the same period in 1902 the amount was
500, so that the complaints Of losses dur
ing the year 1902 were only $3.50, while
the total receipts of the office during this
year were 1852 S59.OS Since these com
plants of losses include claims enormously
made, as we'll as claims for moneys lost in
the mails, it is thought that all Of the al
legged losses are properly chargeable to
these two causes and have not occurred
within the office.
During the last year section 1883 of the
Revised Statutes was amended by act Of
Congress. approved April II, 1902. the
change making 1t no longer necessary that
patents should be signed by the assistant

Wonders Of Modern Medicine.

From the New York World
The announcement that Prof Tizzoni of
bologna University has found a curative
serum for pneumonia is of the highest inter-
est to the lay world as well as the medical.
Pneumonia is undoubtedly the most deadly
disease in this country. The mortality re-
ported due to it rose in the whole country
from "a, 498 in 1890 to 1O5,971 in 1900, when
consumption, including general tuberculosis,
slew Ill. 069. But in the more accurate re-
turns Of the registration area" pneumonia
led In 1909 with $3.50 deaths, while con-
sumption. increasing it's victims much more
slowly, caused only "a. $685. Pneumonia has
by this time certainly passed consumption
as a general cause Of death in the United
States. Scientists are diligently and hope
fully in search Of a serum to cure consump.

show an actual decrease In deaths from this
cause. The antitoxin treatment Of diphthe-
ria has been chiefly instrumental In reducing
the proportion OF deaths from this disease

do as much for pneumonia would be boon
