III he sent for Harrington and said
to the latter: Harrington, l want you

President Lincoln's purpose in TINS
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 in
f1uences Of personal and pecuniary
character tn discharging the duties of
his office. If his money was invested
in corporation that wanted govern
.ment contracts, President Lincoln did
not want to know it. Aside from avoid
ing the possible charge that he was
promoting the affairs Of corporation
in which he was financially inter-
ested, he wanted to satisfy his own
conscience that none of his official acts
was Influenced by the prospect of get

Expression.
A writer In the London Saturday Re.
view comments upon the fact that q
railway engine has face, and that
the face has an expression. Look al
an engine" says the writer, land you
can see that one looks noble--simply
noble in its strength; another, gigantic
in force, but not noble an expression
of mere brute strength. Some engines
have a lofty. almost supercilious ex.
preston. others almost stoutness. Then
there are engines that distinctly look
angry, and others comparatively gen.
tie.
What Is the key to this physiog.
nomy? Where is the seat of expires.
sion? On the whole, 1t seems to be the
funnel. 1t has been easy to observe
this lately. as the egnineers of most
English railways have been shortening
the tunnels. The old broad-gauge
Great Western had a much finer ex.
preston than the last new pattern
with the short funnel. The new en-.
CINE looks powerful. indeed, but the
short funnel has given it sinister.
ugly expression.
"The new Midland express engines
have an almost vulgar look in tneir
stoutness compared with the refined
physiognomy Of the old single driving
wheel express, perhaps the most
graceful railway engine ever built. The
straight funnel, without rim, narrow.
Ing from top to base-a Mother
Goose's hat upside down-gave the old
Southwestern, Southeastern and Great
Eastern engines an almost foolish and
simple expression.
For pure dignity the old Great
Northern, that severely ornamental
machine, with the enormous driving
wheels, would carry the palm. The
Northwestern expresses have always
worn fine look Of contained power,
but their black color and the contract.
ed shape Of the funnel. suggesting a
knitted eyebrow, give 1t harsh turn.

MAP OF THE TERRITORY CONTROLLED GOVERNMENT.

Great was the wrath Of Spain at the
tragedy of Panama. 1t was ordered
that the city be rebuilt Immediately
and so strongly fortified as to be i'm
pre3nable. The site chosen was a lit
tie peninsula at the base Of the hill OF
Ancon, about two leagues from the old
city. Its walls were Of massive gran
lite, from twenty to forty feet high, and
over ten feet thick. Upon them strong
" fortified watch-tOwers were placed
at intervals Of 200 or 800 feet. The
city was divided from the mainland by
deep mOat. and entrance was gained
through three massive gates. So great
was the cost OF these magnificent for.
titications that the Spanish council,
when called upon to audit the accounts
grimly inquired whether the new city
of Panama was girt by walls Of silver
or gold.
So through the shifting fortunes OF
two centuries the new city Of Panama
has lived and thrived.

The history Of Panama is one long

In 1917 the Spaniards went in search
of Panama, which they had heard the
Indians mention frequently They eX-

aces, with roofs and pillars Of solid
gold. They found little fishing vii
lage. a cluster Of palm-thatched huts
under the tropical sky, on the broad,
white beach Of the Pacific. They
learned then that Panama, in the In
dian language, signifies place where
many fish are taken" But the dusky
hosts had strings of fine pearls, and in
sixty years Panama became the most
important city In America. A stream
Of treasures from Peru, Mexico, Guat-
emala and Honduras poured into the
stOrehouscs, to await the sailing of the
royal treasure ships for Spain.
The territory now in rebellion was
known as New Granada for many
years and it has passed through many
vlcissitudes. both before and since the
time the Spanish yoke was discarded

1t will be gratifying to American
women to be told that French artist
and sculptor has just announced that,
so far ms his experience can prove it,
the most beautiful hands belong to an
American woman. When NJ. Bredelle

Denver Miss Fanny Rosenthal, of that
city. and was attracted at once to the
perfect shape Of her hands, and beg
god permission to make a plaster cast.
This cast has gone to Paris and later

Tho Duties of Mothers.

The Dutie0 OF MOtherss
A mother and a wife should not for
get that she owes some duty to her
self. In the stress Of family life. in
the cares Of bringing up children, many
women do forget this. Aney fancy
that they must shield the poor, hard
working, bread-earning husbands from
all the troubles and annoyances OF the
home. For him there should be slip
pers at the fire and a cushion on the
chair.
And the children? OF course, they
must be clothed just as well as the
neighbors' youngsters. even though the
mother goes without a new winter
coat And the daughter must go to as
many dances in the week as she likes.
else where will be her place In the
young society? And 40 the mother
stays at home to wash the dishes and
mend the stockings. 1t Is all very fine
for the husbands and the children;
and the mother. bless her! enjoys It.
But Isn't she little unfair to herself.
and isn't 1t her own fault? She takes
1t for granted that she should sacrifice
herself, and the Others take 1t for
granted, too.
But everybody has some right to a
certain amount Of living for his own
ends. Everybody has right to a slice
Of his own life to spend as he or she
chooses. And the mother should take
1t. Not only she herself. but the whole
family, would be bettered If they were
not allowed forever and eternally to
lean on the mother. 1t Is not because
they are close hearted that they do 1t;
it is because they do not think, and In
the mothers love she does not think,
either, but cheerfully gives herself,
