THEY KEPT The FAITH.

There have been published in The
Weekly Inter ocean a hundred or
more letters from men who cast their
! first votes for Fremont or Lincoln.
Most of the first voters for Lincoln
served in the Union army, and ma
jortiy of them became home-makers
in the newer West after the war. All
Of them are telling stories of the kind
that illuminate history.
For example, one man, severely
wounded at Cold Harbor in 1864 and
who saw in Gen Mcclellan his ideal
soldier, went to the polls on crutches
and voted-for Abraham Lincoln, be-
cause he thought Lincoln's platform
was right and McClellans wrong.
Another man, who with ten thou
sand other Union soldiers was pris-
oner at Florence, Ala, voted a black
bean for Lincoln. The Confederate
authorities, desiring to ascertain the
sentiment of the Union prisoners, es-
tablished a polling place, and decreed
the prisoners should vote white or
black beans--white beans for McClel-
Ian and black beans for Lincoln. The
emanciated and Respondent men
marched up to the polls and voted
black beans for Lincoln, many of
them saying: "All hell cannot make
us vote white BEANS"
In other cases first votes for Lin
coin were cast in rebel stockades; in
others again. on the eve of battle or
on long marches or after battles. OF
those who voted for Lincoln in 1860
some came from the old Wing party.
some from the Democratic, and not a
few from the Free Soil party.
Letters have been received from
men who voted for Harrison in 1910,
Clay in 1874. John p. Hale in 1852,
Fremont in 1856 and Lincoln In 1860.
The spirit that runs through all
these letters is that of devotion to
principle, pride in leadership like that
of Lincoln and exultation in having
started right in the career of citizen
ship.
The story of man who rode fifty
miles to vote for Lincoln, Or who
walked ten miles to vote for Grant. or
who, wounded, was carried to the polls
clutching ticket for Lincoln in his
hand. may seem extravagant in this
day. but they have the pathos of hero1
ism, and they show What styg ~
lighting American of forty and forty,
four years ago had in him.
When men come forward by the
score to testify to their pride in the
fact that they voted for Lincoln in
troublous times, there is afforded to
the younger and Indifferent voters of
this later day lesson in political con-
science and political conviction. The
first voters for Lincoln were men who
stood fast when danger threatened,
who fought and won through their
devotion to principle, and who to-day
rejoice in the memory of duty done
and faith kept--Chicago Inter Ocean.

PLANTING In Blocks.

IL Is not advisable to plant any one
variety of apples, pears or plums In
blocks, even Of hundred, unless
there are other varieties on all sides
OF the block Within comparatively
recent years II has been discovered
mat many OF our varieties of the
ABOVE mentioned fruit are largely in
FERTILE to their own pollen, some more
SO than Others. This kind of plant
ing has caused many a good orchard
10 be infertile without the owner even
suspecting the true cause.
IL was first found that plums re-
CURED to be cross-pollenized to In
sure harvest. Then some one dis
covered thaT the Kelfer pear was a
very uncertain quantity without some
o'ner varieties near 1t. The investi-
CATION was continued, with the result
that several other varieties of pears
were found to be in need of cross
lertllization. At last the scientists
made some elaborate experiments to
determine to what extent the apple
came under the same laws as to pol.
hnation. To the surprise OF almost
every one 1t was proved that very few
OF our varieties of apples do as well
iertilized by their own pollen as by
inc pollen of another variety, and
some OF the varieties are found to be
almost sterile when fortified by the
pollen OF that variety. 1t is, there.
lore, best to so set out apple, plum

variety may 5s used on another va.

THE KISSING HABIT.

Ethnologists tell us that among the
primitive races kissing was unknown.
The Lapps and Maoris to-day simply
rub noses. Even the average native
of Japan still knows nothing about
kissing
The French and the Germans are
the great kissing races The learned
Erasmus, who visited England in Tu-
dod times. says that the "mucco-
cutaneous investment" was universal
and that everybody kissed, so that he
felt that he was being Kissed to
death" while there.
But science is now making a severe
war on this too prevalent habit. The
New York Medical Journal says that
It Is the efficient cause of much insidi-
pus bacterial infection. Even the en-
peror of Germany has been forced to
modify the osculatory habit Boston
