Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Dec. 31.--"What is a serio-
comic?" asked the Judge at the Gov
entry county court this week during the
nearing of an action by Miss Dorothy
Wyatt, a music hall artist, against the
Hippodrome company for G16 under an
alleged agreement to appear week in
Coventry and a week in Ipswich.

stage, sang serio-comic songs, jumped
about a bit, and perhaps kicked her
legs"
The Judge-Kick?
The Witness-Yes.
The Judge-Doesn't she wear long
dresses?
The Witness-No.
The plaintiff said that after the Sec

Wanted-An Appetite.

Don't be without one. Why go to
the dining room under protest. Don't
try to buy appetite at dollar a bot
tie. Earn 1t. One should enjoy eating
and he will, IL he has natural appe-
tite, such as comes to one who works
for 1t.
The outdoor life creates appetite,
and a cold morning bath awakens the
brain. lungs, heart, liver, stomach and
the appetite. An ice bag over the
stomach for half an hour before meals
is a good natural appetizer for bed
ridden invalid.
Another method is hot application
over the abdomen for FIVE minutes fol-
lowed by an ice rub over the same
parts for one or two minutes. This
not only produces an appetite but
stimulates the flow of the digestive
juices and thus furnishes the ability
to digest.

New Story Of Lincoln.

Lincoln's birthday brings out the
usual complement of Lincoln stories,
and most of them have been published
in one form or another, but j. ID. Vel
yer of New York tells one that he
says never appeared in print.
In the thick of the civil war, when
Lincoln was troubled almost beyond
what he could bear, two men from a
western state applied to him for some
minor Offices. The president was dis.
gusted at their opportunities, but
finally told them a story.
One time king went hunting. On
his way to the forest he met a subject
riding a donkey. Hello. king, said the
subject. Hello subject, said the king
Where are you going, king? I'm go
ing hunting, subject Better not, it's
going to rain. No, It isn't said the
king, my court astrologer said that 1t
would be fair weather. No, it's going
to rain persisted the subject, but the
king laughed at him and went hunting.
1t rained hard and the king returned
to his castle wet and bedraggled and
ordered that MS astrolOgerS head be
cut off. He sent for the subject who
had foretold rain and made him court
astrologer. But | am no good at fore
casting, said the subject. But you told
me 1t was going to rain said the
king. I knew that because my jackass
hung his ears down replied the sub
ject. Every time he does that it is
going to rain Then ! will make your
jackass court astrologer,' said the king
and he did.
Lincoln stopped there and his visit.
ors laughed a little, but limited that
they did not see much point in the
story. Then the president added:
Ever since that time every jackass in
the kingdo2 las wanted a job"

Cullom, Samuel Shellenbarger and
Richard Yates. Senator Cullom OF
Illinois, whose name appears as one
of the incorporators, said recently
that he didn't remember anything
about the association and couldn't say
why the project was not carried out
or what became of the 100000 col
lected in one.dollar subscriptions from
all over the country.
From the record 1t appears that on
June %, 1868, little more than
year after the association obtained its
charter, Congress passed joint reso-
luton authorizing the Secretary of
War to place at the disposal of the
association damaged and captured
bronze and brass cannon and ordnance
out of which to cast the principal
figures surrounding the pedestal. The
act provided that no such allotment
OF ordnance should be made, however,
until the voluntary subscriptions to
the monument fund should reach $780,
900.
While no record can be found to
show just how much money was col
lected. It is probable in view of the
above law that the amount was in ex-
cess of 100000, as the records OF the
War department show that under the
act twelve brass cannon were issued
to the association.
The last Congress record OF the as.
ISOLATION is an act passed in 1882, pro-
viding that FIVE trustees should con-
stitute a legal quorum OF the asso-
citation; and II is believed that this
provision was enacted owing TO the
dying out OF interest in the project
and the difficulty that had been sx.
perienced in securing attendance at
the necessary meetings.
Recently number OF the engraved
| subscription receipts Of the association
have been found. They were executed
at the bureau of engraving and bear
| the signature OF Gen. +, F.. Spinner,
treasurer OF the association and at
that time treasurer of the United
States as well. In view OF this fact
| II has been suggested that II the
books of the treasury department were
carefully examined the 100000 or
more subscribed by the people and
placed in Gen. Spinner's care would
be found on deposit.
The following description OF the
monument, as designed by Clark Mills
and accepted by the association, was
published at the time:
"The pedestal to be OF granite, and
figures bronze the whole structure to
be 70 ieet, surmounted by thlrty-hve
colossal figures. It's construction tn

The browning figure is the presi-
dent in the act of signing the procla-
nation. At mis- feet are Liberty and
Justice, while behind sits Time, watch
ing the hourglass, missioned, as 1t
were, from heaven. AT the base Of
the steps leading from the center
structure are the equestrian statues
of leading commanders of the army"
It can easily be seen from the
above description just how preten-
tious was the monument proposed, and
1t is evident from such of the rec.
ords as exist that the members OF
tho association lost interest in their
task before sufficient money was col.
lected to enable them to begin work
on the memorial There are many
prominent men in Washington who
think that Lincoln should have such
memorial, and they hope that the
awakened discussion OF the matter
may lead to some definite result.

movement to erect a monument
to President Lincoln has recalled the
existence and mysterious passing OF
the National Lincoln Monument asso-
citation, chartered by act of Congress,
March 30, 1867.
The plan was backed by the most
prominent men in the country at the
time. and 100000 was raised by popu.
lar subscription. The design for the
monument was executed by Clark
Mills, the sculptor, a site in front of
the Capitol was selected, and cap.
tured Confederate cannon were turned
over TO the association by the war de-
partment from which to cast the
bronze figures surmounting the pedes-
tai.
But the association and its organic.
ers seem to have vanished into thin
air. work on the monument was never
even begun. and so far as can be
learned the money was never re-
turned.
From 1867 to 1882 the record of the
association is clear, but there is abb
solutely nothing to show what became
OF Il after that date. The list of In
corporators submitted to Congress in
the former year with the application
for a charter included such prominent
men as James Harlan, Alexander
Ramsey. Schuyler Cofax, Frederick
Douglass. Godlove S. Orth, Shelby M.

Diet for Tuberculosis.

The tubercular patient needs pro-
teids, or tissue-building foods. but only
just the amount which can be assimi-
lated and utilized by the body. Any
excess must be treated like poisons,
and hence must be burden to both
liver and kidneys, and waste of vital
energy.
Proteids must be taken, not only in
moderate quantity, but in the purest
form possible. The vegetable kingdom
presents proteds in combination with
fats in great abundance, and in nuts,
which can be made easily digestible
by thorough chewing or by proper
preparation.
The yolks of eggs afford also COM
bination of fats and proteds which Is
admirably suited to the tubercular pa
tient. MIX especially rich milk is
another food adapted to this class Of
patients when it does not produce
"biliousness" through Indigestion.
Many tubercular patients have dila-
tation of the stomach. Such cases
must avoid milk. Nearly all can take
nuts II the right kind is selected and
great care is taken with the mastica-
ton. Pecans. hickory nuts, almonds
and filberts, pinons, or pine nuts are
the best varieties. Half a pound of
nuts may be taken daily by the con-
sumptive, not only without harm, but
with great benefit, II combined with
other foods A diet consisting of nuts,
well-toasted bread and fruits is a per-
feet dietary for the tubercular patient.
The yolks of dozen eggs may be
used in place of nuts.

Danger in Alcohol in Cold Weather

Danger In Alcohol In Cold Weather.
When the skin is warm it Is red or
pink in color. The cold air of winter
causes the skin to become whittier in
color. This Is due to the contraction
of the blood vessels of the skin. The
amount Of blood passing through the
skin is decreased, and the amount of
heat thrown off into the cold air is
likewise decreased. II glass of wine
or brandy is taken the skin becomes
red. The sensation of warmth pro-
duced is delusive. The victim i'm
AGNES himself warmer. Indeed, the
skin is warmer, but at the same time
great increase is observed in the
heat thrown off from the skin. The
result is an enormous loss of heat to
the inside Of the body.
