LincoIn,s Way of Teasing

In his home city, Springfield, H., a
story is told Of Lincoln which has
never appeared In print. His house
had long needed a fresh coat of paint.
but a political campaign was in prog
ress and Abe had no time to look up
painters.
During his absence for six weeks of
circuit-riding in his one-horse shay.
Mrs. Lincoln had the matter attended
to, and on his return when he drove
up to the little cottage on 8th street
she came out on the steps to welcome
him. Paying not the slightest atten-
ton TO her. Lincoln surveyed the
house from foundation to caves In a
dazed manner and then drove to the
next door, and called to his neighbor:
Say! Can you tell me where Abe
Lincoln llyesl"
"You old goose! come home and be-
have yourself" laughed Mrs. Lincoln.

Art of Glaasmaking.

The art of making glass was intro
duced into Japan about one hundred
and fifty years ago by HOllander
who settled at Osaka. For several
generations the knowledge Of the
process was confined to single fam
fly, and it was not until about 1879
that the employment of coal instead or
charcoal and the construction Of chin
neys enabled the manufacturers to in
troduce Improvements which placed
the industry on substantial basis.
Osaka has continued to he the center
OF the industry, and now mannfae-
lures for export besides supplying the
home demand.

ACRES OF CARNATIONS,
Average Yield Six to Ten Thousand
Flowers Daily.

Commercial carnation growing In
the northern middle west and eastern
parts of this great country Of ours has
been problem in economics, says the
Los Angeles Times. Outdoor growing
in the sections named Is always con-
fined to limited times, or rather sea-
sons, and so much of it has necessi-
tated dollhouse adjuncts that theories
vanished before the attacks Of condi-
tons. The flower is one that has al
ways been popular and has been Gull
tured and specialized to almost a per-
lection, but never commercially salts
factory excepting to the interested
grower whose efforts became remuner-
alive upon the extreme demand and
limited supply.
To the stranger within the gates of
this State the carnatiou growing Of
California becomes an object of the
greatest interest and a most satisfac-
tory sight The success Of the enter
prise and the very simple and effective
style of cultivation make 1t another
marvel in this land of natural won
ders.
In brief, the carnation fields are
yielding OH an average from 5000 to
10000 flowers every day in the year.
with a market in which the demand is
at all times greater than the supply.
The plants are perpetuating, in Il
sense, are propagated In the open
fields, cultivated with less labor than
ordinary crops. and are exempt from
insect pests and but rarely troubled
with disease. excepting ordinary fun
gus attacks.
The average life of field carnatlon
varies from two to three years. New
plants are taken in cuttings from the
old ones and put directly into the
ground. They take root in about four
weeks and In about ten months are in
bloom and continue TO give their daily
quota of blossoms until they die ont.
In planting the carnations are placed
in rows three feet apart and the plants
two feet from each other. This per-
mlts the cultivation with horses and
once In healthy growth they require
only watchfulness for disease and In
sect pests, irrigation about every two
weeks and daily picking.

Gratings, coils of rope, man at the

the mate, jumping down from his

MOTHERHOOD.

oome to my arms, my darling;
Come. for the nightfall is near:
coma. and thy mother shall send thee
NJ dreamland with never a fear.
Came, and thy mother shall sing thee
A lullaby softly and low
cling thee to rest and to dreamland
Are darker the day doth grow.
And as thou sleepest, my dear one,
Visions will come 10 her eyes
Visions of thee, strong in manhood,
Noble and gentle and wise.
Fer heart will glow at the picture,
Thrilling with JOY and with pride.
Yet the tears sadly fall as she presses
Thee close, little one, to her side.
And she knows that always at twilight.
Wherever, wherever thou art,
The same little lullaby. darling,
She'll sing to thee down in her heart.

PROFIT IN ILLICIT srlLLs.
No Prospect of Cure of the Evil as
Long as 1t Pays So Well.


Although the makers of illicit whis-
ky are punished by heavy fines when
ever they are detected, nearly all of
them get rich. At least, few abandon
the occupation until they can retire
from it with competence. One OF
the most experienced of the federal
revenue Inspectors, who has raided
scores of stills during his official ca
reer and who has had many battles
with the outlaws and heard the bull
let's from their guns whistle past him,
who has often crouched behind rocks
and stood behind trees, and who has
done his share in trying TO stamp out
the miscreants. said recently, in speak
ing of blockaders and moonshine
wnsky:
Il have been revenue officer for
about twenty-five or thirty years and
have seen all kinds of service, under
all kinds of circumstances, and | don't
believe blockading or Illicit distilling
will ever be stopped. The reason for
my belief, and | am not the only one,
profit in the business that the temp
tation is too great for most of that
class of people regardless Of the law,
not needing what has befallen fellow
moOnshners. Even forgetting that
they have once been caught or sus-
pected and that the eyes of the otti-
GERS are on them, they go right ahead
and distill the grain. But at the same
time they are on the lookout for raids,
and have their guns ever ready to
send n piece of lead into their discoy-
erer They are good shots. too hardly
ever missing when they nave fair
opportunity TO take aim.
Il will give you an idea of how
cheaply moonshine whisky is made
and the immense profits that are reap
ed from its sale. They take one gal
lon of cheap black molasses, which
costs about 80 cents; two BUSHES of
meal, costing 80 cents per bushel, and
some water. This is made into a
mash allowed TO ferment, and the
stuff then goes through the process of
evaporation. This amount Of meal,
water and molasses makes four gal
Ions of whisky, which is sold for 81
gallon. Any one can see the i'm
mense profit from this illustration.
"Lattery brown sugar has been
used instead of molasses, and is a
great deal cheaper. The sugar costs
about Az cents pound; there are 300
pounds in a barrel, making it cost
$3.50 per barrel. An immense
amount of molasses Is made from a
barrel of sugar, and the profit is al
most twice as great as in using the
first method. Distillers are captured
every day, and when they are sent Il
prison others take their places, ant
thus the perpetual flow OF white
! lightning"
