What Lincoln Said When Harvey
Ended n Two Hours Talk.
The late Hon. Charles w. Slack told
the following Of the Hon. Peter Har-
vey, the friend and biographer of Dan
lei Webster:
sMr. Harvey was large man with a
small voice and that pomposity Of man.
ner that many very ditlident men pos.
sess. Above everything he valued and
prided himself upon his friendship with
the great eXpounder."
The first year of the War of the Re
bellion he went to Washington, and on
his return was asked how he liked
President Lincoln.
"Well," he said, "A1r. Lincoln is a
very singular man. | went on to see
him, and told him that | had been an
intimate personal friend of Daniel
Webster; that | had talked with him
SO much ON the affairs of the country
that felt perfectly confident l could
tell him exactly what Mr.. Webster
would advise in the present crisis, and
thereupon l talked to Lincoln for two
solid hours, telling him just what he
should do and what he should not do,
and, will you believe 1t, sir, when | got
through all Mr.. Lincoln said was, as he
clapped his hand on my leg, Mr.. Har-
vey, what tremendous great calf you
have got '"-Boston Ierald.

FISHES THAT ARE RACERS.


the Speed Champions.
Study Of the speed of fishes is en-
barrassed by unfavorable difficulties.
1t is not possible, as with birds, to set
up tall poles at intervals of quarter
of mile and, with the help of stop
watches, time them as they 60 by.
Nevertheless investigation of the SUBJ
ject goes to show that the mackerel, if
not the champion racer of the briny
deep, comes pretty near to carrying off
the honors. Unquestionably 1t travels
sometimes as fast as an express train
at high speed-say, at the rate Of sixty
or possibly seventy miles an hour.
Other things being equal, the larger
the fish the faster it swims, just as the
huge steamship is able to travel at
speed much greater than the little har-
Dor tug. Undoubtedly the energy en-
ployed by fish of great size, such as
thirty foot shark when travelling at
its best gait, Is something tremendous.
An ordinary tug, which represents a
maximum of energy in minimum Of
bulk, utilizes about 200 horsepower.
OF course 1t is only guess, but it
would not seem to be over the mark
to suppose that n seventy foot whale
makes use of 500 horsepower when it
propels its huge bulk through the wa
ter at rate of thirty miles an hour.
A whale, which Is mammal and not
fish, might be compared to freight
train IL the shark is a cannon ball ex-
press, but 1t can beat the fastest ocean
pravhpup1 In n snaal ppptact
If there Is fish that can travel fast
er than shark it must be the tarpon,
which can probably "hit her up" to the
tune of eighty miles an hour, If pressed
for time. Generally speaking it may
be said that finny creatures which live
near the surface of the sea are swift
swimmers, as compared with those
that dwell in the depths. Thus the
cod, which is deep water species, Is
sluggish and would stand no show
at all in race with the mackerel or
herring These latter, which are dis
tinctlvely pelaglc. depend for their liv-
ing upon their activity in pursuing
agile prey, and they must be quick In
their movements in order to escape
their own enemies.
If the mackerel were as big as good
sized shark 1t would probably be the
speed champion of the ocean. No fish
is better shaped for rapid going. Some
years ago a yacht builder In New
York constructed sloop with a hull
patterned exactly after the underbody
of Spanish mackerel. She was called
the Undine, and, IL tradition does not
lie, she never was beaten. Like the
fish after which she was modelled, she
had her greatest breadth of beam for
ward Of amidships-a decidedly novel
Idea in boat building. One may say,
indeed, that all modern water craft
are more or less fishlike In their make
up; yet, on the whole, 1t is surprising
that marine architects have not striven
more earnestly than they have done
to obtain hints from natures own H.
lustrations of aquatic speed making

THE PORCUPlNE.
IL His Liking For Salt m Acquired
II Natural Tastef


or Natural Tastef
Some men who were camping in the
Adirondacks several years ago on
breaking camp in the autumn left an
old tub which was saturated with
salt brine. On returning to the same
camp the next year they found that
the tub had been gnawed until hrtle Of
IL was left. They were not long in find
ing out what animal had done the
work, for the camp was overrun with
Canadian porcupines. At night they
became such nuisance that the camp
ers were obliged to kill them to protect
their property. The handle Of paddle
was gnawed half through.
The explanation of their presence in
such numbers during that year. when
they had not been noticeably abundant
In the previous year, is that they had
made rendezvous of the camp, being
attracted by the old brine tub. On
this they feasted all winter and for
that reason were greatly pleased with
the locality.
An interesting query is this: Is the
liking for salt an acquired or n natural
taste? Were they ever able to crafty
that taste to any extent before man
gave them u chance to do so?-St. Mich.

Why He Disliked the Man.

I once heard of man who, discuss
ing a name on the visiting list, .said to
his wife, you know perfectly well
that 1 don't like that man." Don't
you think you are n little unreason-
able?" asked the wife. "Your dislike
arose because he did not answer a
letter you wrote him, and you found
afterward that the letter was hung up
all summer in the pocket of your over
coat and was never sent to him at all"
''Yes, know that" was the rejolnder,
"but 1t was so long before l found it
out that l couldn't overlook his rude
ness, and l never forgave him, and
don't believe l ever shall" There is
a good deal Of i'll feeling in this world
that is without any flrmer foundation.

tain point. Women. as rule, are al

men, who want everything their own
