more comprehensively true Among all the
great men of all time whose names are
written on the scroll of fame none proba-
ply ever had greater commission to fulfill,
a greater task to do. Abraham Lincoln be-
longs not only to the United States, but to
the world and to the ages He was a great
man In the truest sense of the word. He
was philanthropist, man Of great miAd
and heart. Men will never tire reading of
him; the story of his life and work and of
his untimely death will never pail
Probably most of the visitors who come
To Washington for pleasure or profit GO
at one time or another to the old fashioned
house on 10th street. across the street from
the building which was formerly known as
Fords Theater. into which the President
was carried on the evening of April IA a
few minues after the fatal shot was fired
and in which he died the following morning
at 7:22 o'clock. The house was purchased
by the government in 1897 to be preserved
as memorial to the martyred President,
and is now occupied by Osborn Fl. Oldroyd
and his family, who have on exhibition the
Oldroyd Lincoln memorial collection. A
visit to the historic house is fraught with
the greatest interest to any American citi-
zen. Mr.. Oldroyd spent years in perfecting
and completing the collection, which is re-
markably comprehensive. One may see
there the flag that was draped in front of
the Presidents box in Ford's Theater on
the night of the tragedy and in which the
cavalry spur worn by Booth caught as he
jumped from box to stage. The bit of siken
fringe that hooked his spur threw him off
his balance, and the nine-foot drop to the

How to Drink Water.

"Water is the finest drink in the world"
said the epicure in little things, but not
every one knows how to get the most en-
joyment out of drinking it.
"Water should never be drunk imme-
diately after an apple has been eaten, for
as a beverage it then has taste more fat
and insipid than from cold teakettle.
"On the other hand, there is nothing
to my mind that makes water taste more
cool and refreshing (not counting actual
thirst) that to eat peppermint drop before
taking drink of it.
"And while peppermint stands at the
head, drink of water is particularly and
noticeably good after any wafer or lozenge.
Popcorn, on the other hand, takes all the
animation out of subsequent swallow of
water.
"Nor do bread and water 60 we'll to-
gether The water takes the sweetness
out of the bread, and the bread takes the
liveliness out of the water and makes it fiat
beyond degree.
~" It who first hit upon bread
dua~Wdtci ssS pitSoh iaio Va puulSnmCuC
knew his business.
''The enjoyment of drink 81 water
varies, too, with what you drink it from.
You would not offer to sick person a
drink of water in cup, but rather in a
glass, the thinner the better. The fact
that the water itself in all its limpid clear
ness is pleasant to the sense of sight stim-
ulates an expectation thatis gratifed along
! with the sense of taste
''I have frequently observed men about
to drink some other beverage than water,
and it appears to be very common habit
with them to regard the liquid steadily for
some seconds before swallowing it, often
holding it on level with their eyes in or
der to see it as clearly as possible.
'Surely this lesson should not be LOST
upon the man who knows that there is nc
drink like water. While you are drinking
it enjoy it.
"For my own part, like water from a
big tin dipper even better than from thin
tunb.ar, but the best Of all drinking dishes
for me is arAaver sps ade de bnok. bark dipper
all the better if 4 s We made it myself.
''Dip full dipper lGsam the centre of
the bubbling spring, take lock to see
how lmpid it is against the clean yesSv
freshness of the dripping dipper, put you,
lips to the water itself and then take one
of the sweetest gifts the gods provide.

by a political creditor and a like posi-

to give us an academic demonstration
OF the effect upon the moral quality OF
the act OF drawing pay when the payee
