In Mexico all vehicles. be they hand

must carry light at night. This rule

LINCOLN'S GROCERY.
Result of One Partners Hunger and
the Other Partners Thirst.


the Other Partners Thirst.
A giant In stature. he was as awk-
ward as he was strong. His rustic APP
pearance was enhanced by an Ill fitting
suit Of homespun. Thus at the head of
The OK team he made his debut In the
outer world, without means, without
education. without influence. This may
seem sorry beginning, but let 1t be
remembered that if on that day he had
graduated from Harvard III fashion
able coat the gates of history would
probably have been closed against him.
Mr.. Lincoln's first business venture
resulted in downright failure. He
formed a partnership with one Berry,
under the firm name Of Berry IL Lin
coin, to carry on n grocery, for the pur-
chase price of which the firm note was
given. Berry was a jolly, irresponsible
soul, who was born thirsty and who
gave his undivided attention to that
part of the stock known as "wet gro
ceries" Mr.. Lincoln. on the other
hand, having n keen appetite, devoted
himself TO the crackers and cheese,
smoked behring's and other edibles ut
the dry end Of the shop. This happy
adjustment rivaled the familiar case
IF Jack Sprat and his cOngenlal spouse,
but the mcager stock could not long
withstand &c inrOads Of hunger Mt the
one end AMI thirst at the other. and
crisis came which required the sale of
the remnant Of stock. The purchaser
defauted. and Mir Lincoln was left to
pay all the liaDllities-a task which
plagued him for several years. There
by he had impressed upon him a legal
proposition that a partner is liable in
solidO.
1t is related that Mr.. Lincoln bought
a barrel Of a customer, in the bottom
Of which. among other rubbish, was
found a copy of "Blackstone's Com

after engrossed his attention the gro

The Ace Of Marriage.

The age of legal capacity to marry In
England is much lower than In Italy.
The English law has adopted In this
respect a law Of Roman and even
Athenian origin, by which the ages Of
fourteen and twelve were fixed as the
marriageable ages of males and fe-
males, respectively. In Italy the age
is fixed by the civil code at eighteen
and fifteen. Formerly the age of spous-
ais In England was as low as seven
for both sexes, but such marriage was
not considered perfect, for the parties
might disagree to it when they ar
rived at the mature age Of twelve or
fourteen.

The scale of remuneration of English
common jurymen is absurd. In civil
case In England common juryman Is
allowed s;illings ($1.25) day for "a
view"-that is, for inspecting any prop
erty or thing in dispute-but otherwise
he is. in law, not entitled to any re-
Enumeration. 1t is usual, however, In
the high court to give him a fee OF !
shilling and in the counties 8 pence
Special jurymen receive much higher
remuneration. The fee in the county
court is ! shilling case, in the may
or's court 2 pence and in the London
sheriffs court pence.-Chambers'

The soience of Chemistry.

Chemistry did not become a science
In other words, chemistry proper did
not exist-unti the seventeenth CEN

Of the eighteenth century before 1t be-
gan to amount to much. The old al
chemy undoubtedly contained the
germs, or at least the possibilities, Of
the present day chemistry, but beyond
this the relationship between the mod
ern science and the ancient delusion Is
slight indeed. Still, 1t cannot be de-
MED that 1t was in the foolish search
for the philosophers Stone" and the
elixir of Life" that men first hit upon
the discoveries which were destined
to develop into the great science Of to-
day.-New York American.

Poets Themes.

The cynics Of our time have white
washed many Of the vices. Poets like
the earlier Swinburne practically
praised lust as an expression Of the
love Of life. Poets like Mr.. Rudyard

like Mr.. Henley and Mr. John David
