LfucoIn's Rebuk~.

The saying that there are few hon. est lawyers did not hold true in the case of Lincoln. A man once called to retain him on a suit
 "State your case" said honest Abe.
 The man did, and then Lincoln said:
 q cannot represent you. for you are wrong, and the other party Is right"
 "That Is none of your business If I employ you," said the client.
 Pardon me-" said the man who aft erward became president; "my busi- ness is never to defend wrong. nev- CT take case that is manifestly wrong"
 "well, but you can make trouble for the other fellow"
 "Yes," said Lincoln, 'I can set q whole community at loggerheads, I can make trouble for this widow and her fatherless children and by so doing get you $6o0 that rlghtfully belongs to her, but won't do it."
 Not If pay you welrF'
 "Not for all the money you are worth" was the reply.

Why She Had Headaches.


 "It is so strange, doctor" complain ed woman patient recently, "that when I have had perfectly good nights sleep I should so often wake up with headache"
 How many pillows do you have un- der your head?" asked the physician.
 "One thin pillow" was the answer.
 ''Try two fairly thick ones," the doc tor advised, adding that mary con gestive headaches were caused by peo- pie sleeping with their heads too low. The blood settles in the head, and the sufferer wakes with dull feeling or throbbing pain. Persons subject to catarrhal headache should be careful to have their heads high enough at night-Harper's Bazar.

The late Judge Saunders of North Carolina was noted us m angler, but he had poor memory as to the weight of the fish he had taken. On one oc- casIon a friend, trying to entrap him, said, Say, judge, what was the weight of that big catfish you caught the other day?" .s,.
 The judge turned to his walter and said, Bob, what did I say that catfish weighed?"

 The Moon.
 Astronomers long since came to the conclusion that the moons surface IS very hot during the height of the lunar day, which, as will be remembered, lasts two weeks. and very cold during the lunar night, which is equally long. These extremes of temperature reach their height at the lunar noon ana midnight and are greater than any natural temperatures on the earth.

A Wnrrfnr Too.

The wooden boards that had marked the graves in certain rural cemetery routed off and were raked up in tho spring . cleaning. Consequently on Memorial day when the delegation from the G. A. R. arrived with flags and appropriate floral decorations for their departed comrades fhe decorat- Ing committee found itself somewhat In doubt as to which grave belonged to Captain Blodgett and which to Hannah Ericsson. The mistaken dele gates heaped their offerings upon Han nah's last resting place and departed, That afternoon Ericsson, the widower, drifted, with the rest of hls world, to the cemetery. When he saw the flag and the flowers above Hannah the astonished Swede fell to chucliinr joyously.

 Good Bean Field.
 In the culture of small white beang select warm, dry soil of strong gray ely nature, although they will do quite well on clayey soils If naturally dry or we'll drained. Beans will not do we'll on land inclined to be wet. The imme- diate application of barnyard manure Is not as good as to apply the manure to clover or other sod and plant corn and follow the next year with beans X field that has been in sheep pasture few years generally does well for beans. Tn soils of gravelly nature blow early in the spring and fallow as much as possible before planting. On clayey or heavy soils 1t is better to blow in the fall and work well In the spring. The spring following gets the ground in fine condition to receive the seed and also destroys innumerablc weed seeds. Plant with m ordinary grain drill in rows twenty-eight inches apart from June to 15. As soon as the plants are large enough to culti- vate, which ought to be In from ten to fourteen days, go through with rid ing cultivator, which Is better than walking cultivator, as the depth can be more easily regulated. The first culti- vation should be light, so as to get as close to the growing plants as possible without smothering them. If the field Is not too stony go over two or three times with a weeder at intervals of three or four days. One or two more cultivations with cultivator and hand wedding If necessary is all the atten- ton that the crop will need until har- vest, says a writer in Rural New York CT. It Is best not to work In beans when the vines are wet or to cultivate after the plants begin to blossom.

EnaIana's Historic Miser

John Camden Neild, whose mcgnifl. cent beqnest to Queen Victoria sup piled the funds out of which the prince consort built the present Balmoral castle, deserves place among the great misers and was as remarkable n man as any of them. He was educat- cd at Eton and Trinity college. Cam bridge. and was barrister at Lin coln's Inn. At the age of thirty-four his fathers death placed him in pos session of fortune of E250,000, and from that moment he became q con firmed miser, Neild lived at Cheyne walk, Chelsea. His big house was so- meanly furnished that 1t did not even boast of a bed. Two old women, who did his chores, and black cat were his sole companions. When he visited his large estates in the Midlands, which he did frequently. he generally walked unless he could get a lift for nothing, and he was not even above taking a gratuitous seat on a dung cart. Sometimes he was compelled by the weather to take a seat on the stagecoach, and there he would sit outside, shivering and dripping. for he never wore a greatcoat, an object of commiseratlon to his fellow passen- rerS

What We stand On.

The density of the earth as whole has been estimated, with close agree ment among the scientists who have made the determination by different methods, to be about 5.5, or five and a half times as heavy as an equivalent sphere of water On the other hand, the average density of the materials form ing the accessible parts of the earth's crust is between 25 and 3, so that the mean density of the whole globe Is about twice that of its outer part This indicates that the central part of the earth is composed of heavier mate rials and may even be metallic, which condition, says the Engineering and Mining Journal, would accord perfect ly with the nebular hypothesis.

Nature and Broken Bones.

In the splicing of broken bones na- ture can give the best surgeon pointers. When a bone is broken the splintered ends are surrounded with cartilage un- til they are firmly held in position. Then gradually layer of bone Is placed between them and soldered to- gether. All the physician has to do is to bring the two ends of the bones together so that the point will be smooth and even.

the hay or other fodder from between the slats. It is twelve feet long and five feet wide. Three or four such racks in yard will hold load of hay or corn fodder It is the best rack in which to feed corn fodder we ever saw. Cattle will pull out every leaf and husk, leaving the bare stalks in the bottom, which may be removed as de sired.
 The posts are by 4, six feet long. On top of the posts 2 by 4 Is spiked, der rest. These slats are four inches wide and placed far enough apart to admit the nose of a cow-about six inches. The bottom Is made of common six inch boards. If meal Is fed In the rack matched flooring is better for the bottom. A six inch board Is nailed on around the outside of the bottom to hold the feed.
 Where young cattle, COWS or steers run loose there Is no better way of feeding them. We have fed good many steers In this rack. They were dehorned and ran loose In shed. The rack was kept full of clover hay and ensilage, and meal was fed twice daily in the tight bottom.
 Money For Pasture Brush.
 The witch hazel industry In western Massachusetts Is of considerable im- portance. although not so extensive as in neiShboring sections of Connecticut. The brush land in Berkshire county yields quite a crop of the hazel bush, for which the farmers are paid $2 to s per ton. The factory near Chester turn ed out 990 barrels of extract last year. This year she factories are also using lot of black birch brush, installing a substitute for oil of wintergreen, and farmers are paid for the birch brush $3.50 per ton, one factory using already over 1.500 tons. The resulting oil sells at $2 pound and Is used for favoring and in medicines. Still another prepa- ration Is made from sweet fern, which is very abundant In western Massachu- setts as well as through other parts of New England. The sweet fern oil is used for the same purpose as the witch hazel.-American Cultivator.

 ally accepted by the leading banking houses and dealers in legitimate securities, that the people, who, at the present time in the aggregate have the most money to invest, are the presidents of banks, trust companies, insurance companies and a few capitalists in the large cities, and to selling this class of in- vestors, they devote their entire energies.
 It is a fact that there are over a hundred travelling represents tives of legitimate investment dealers, bond SaleSmen, as they are called, who visit regularly the same class of investors in Southern and Western New England.
 They are nicely hammered, agreeable young fellows, all selling about the same class of securities, the three and one-half to four per cent. kind, and all calling on the same men.
 These men only scratch the sur face of the investment business, and in my advertisement next week, I will tell you why.
