sLincoIn,s First Election.

Lincoln's election to the legislature
of Illinois in August. 1884, marks the
end of the pioneer period of tis life.'
He was done now with the wild care
lessness of the woods, with the rough
jollity of Clary's Grove, with odd tobbs
for his daily bread-with all the de-
tails of frontier poverty. He csntin-
ued for years to be very poor man.
harassed by debts he was constantly
laborlng to pay, and sometimes abso-
iutely without money; but from this
time on he met and worked with men
of wider knowledge and better trained
minds than those he had known in
Gentryville and New Salem; while
the simple social life Of VaNdalia,
where he went to attend the sessions
of the legislature, was more elegant
than anything he, had yet seen.-St
Nicholas.

which you bring an unwilling mind.
says a writer in Harper's Bazaar, 'just

Her steady Dict.

1t was Nov. 10. For seven weeks
Mrs. Symmington had been killing of
the surplus young roosters from her
flock and eating them. Now, with the
light of desperation in her face, she
loaded six of them, dressed, into the
old buggy, put basket Of eggs under
the seat, and set Off for Belltown Gen.
ter, determined to trade all six II nec-
essary for n mess Of plain corned beef.
As she passed the "Orthodox"

the basement and hailed her.

"Are you coming to our church sup

Only Three of This Breed of An
CORA Dogs In America.

CORA Dogs in America.
Although the dog aristocrats are sup
posed to have representation in the
New York and Boston dog shows, there
is one species which is never represent
ed, because the species is so rare. This
is the AngOra collie, and there are only
three Of the dogs in this country. DR..
II. c. SwitZer, Of Springfield, Mass,
owns one Of the animals, and the other
two are in Newburyport, Mass, says
tho New York Herald.
The peculiar characteristic of the
dog is that while it has all the marks
Of typical collie, it weighs about six
pounds instead of the thirty or more
which the collie ordinarily weighs. 1t
has the featherlng on the legs and in
the ears and its head is broad and in
telligent, but here all resemblance to
the well-knOwn breed ends, for it Is a
dainty, graceful dog, with all the pret.
ty ways Of a small dog.
DR.. Switzer's dog is named Spider
and her father and mother were
brought to this country from Spain and
taken to Newburyport, and now the
mother and her two children, Toudit
and Spider, are the Only representa-
tives of the breed In this country
| Spider has an unusually broad head
big. intelligent eyes with spots of brown
around them, brown markings on bach
and sides, slender, graceful legs and {
coat which is cleaning white excep

The little dog is extremely affection
ate, loves to be cuddled, and makes al
excellent ladies' dog, but she is no toy
for she has dauntless courage ant
pluck and is always ready to defent
her rights.

Hedgehog Fear. No Snake.

An interesting fact about hedgehogs
that perhaps not many persons know is
that the bites Of even the most poison.
GUS serpents have no effect on them
whatever. M. Lenz, naturalist, once
watched fight between a hedgehog
and viper and gives n most interest
ing description of it. He says that
snake she began to smell it, for the
sight Of these animals is so poor that
they depend almost entirely on the
sense of smell, and then she seized
its head with her teeth.
In moment the snake had freed
itself. ana, darting at the hedgehog, bit
1t several times, but the little animal
did not seem to mind the bites at all,
and when the snake was tired out with
its efforts she again seized its head
which she ground between her teeth
poisonous fangs and all. Then she de-
voured almost the whole of its body.
NJ. LEM also tells of pet hedgehog
that he kept in his house in large
| box.
Several times he put some adders
into the box, which the hedgehog did
not seem to fear at all, but attacked
them fercely, and, rs in the case OF
the other, was never In the least af
fected by their poisonous bites.
A man who has had pet hedgehog
IN his possession for n long time says
that he, Ind often seen 1t throw itsel1

would contract itself into soft, fluff,
ball and fall to the ground so lightly
that almost Immediately it would un
fold itself and run Off.

oughly by educational leaders State
Supt Stetson, Of Maine las expressed
QSISMlHNv the conviction that in some elementary
bNSESey form all the teachers of that State should
be prepared to teach agriculture. He
thinks that farm boys and farm girls should be
taught that when they through with the common
schools they will be qualified to make country homes,
and not by their very training, be biased toward town
life. The fact is that the ordinary school does
comparatively exalt trade and manufacturing
pared with land culture. The children receive in
formation whatever concerning animals and plants,
concerning soils and fertilizers they taught the
relation that In country life should exist between the
true, the beautiful and the useful.
Superintendent Joyner, of North Carolina insists that
agriculture should be taught just history is taught

but accuracy is nothing more less than science
Elbert Hubbard emphasizes the necessity OF rad

agriculture wisely requires good deal of outdoor app
cation. Recently we showed what Iowa had undertake

that they will be qualified to teach nature studies in the

There ls really no good why boys and girls
should be shut all day inside school rooms. 1t
natural AMI it is serious damage to their and
their muscles There is why half of this time
should not be spent out of doors In the application Of
the lessons learned These may be lessons entomol-
ogy in ornithology, in direct gardening. Mr. Hub
bard adds: Suppose we quit talking about war; and
set ourselves to the problem of educating our boys
and glrs-hat is educate them to be useful; one ses.

He thinks this would end the Of overworked teach

should n who has millions than
he count more income than he spend,
give away who satisfy every rational desire
of human being and yet have enough to support
10000 people in comfort-why should such man be
willing to commit crime to get more?
The answer is that he has lost his mental equlib-
rum; he has become money-mad. He is in precisely
the same as the man who, because Of nfatuaton
for wanton, gives up his wife and children his home
his religion, his reputation and his money; and that
kind of performance is recorded In the newspapers
nearly every day. An evil passion has got possession
of the soul of the moneymad man, just alcohol
opium gets possession of the body Of man who is
drinker doper. Why did Napoleon having all
the rest Of the continent Of Europe his feet lit
orally drunk with glory, want to conquer Russia and
then Asia? Because he ambtion-mad He had
lost his balance He had parted with his sense of the
right proportion of things.
The money-lnad man is similarly victim, but of an
other mania. An insane is who is longer
able to perceive things they Everything is
tored he looks at it. Always he exaggerates his
Importance; invariably he gives false value to
other person thing The multimillionaire who is
