LlNCOLN'S WIT.
That and Rfdfcule Were his Weap-
ons of Onense and Defense.

Wit and ridicule were Lincoln's
weapons of offense and defense, and
he probably laughed more jury cases
out Of court than any other man who
practiced at the bar.
II once heard Mr.. Lincoln defend a
man in Bloomington against q charge
Of passing counterfeit money" Vice
President Stevenson told the writer.
There was pretty clear case against
the accused, but when the chief wit
ness for the people took the stand he
stated that his name was j. Parker
Green, and Lincoln reverted to this
the moment he rose to cross examine.
why j. Parker Green? What did the
J. stand for? Johnf Well, why didn't
the witness call himself John P. Green
That was his name, wasn't itf Well,
what was the reason he did not wish
to be known by his right namef Did ],

ceal, and, If not, why did j. Parker

LEGENDS OF OLD MINES.


American mining engineers are ia
ed upon the real or supposed former
productiveness Of the mines upon
which they are started. To say moth
ing Of such enterprises as that Of Rich
ard Burton, who thought he had redis-
covered In Egypt the sources Of Solo
tcaD. there are more recent instances
In abundance. The books of Hum
boldt and Ward on Mexico gave rise
IN the first half Of the nineteenth cen
fury to an immense and disastrous in
vestment Of English capital in the I'M
watering of old Mexican gold and sill
yer mines on the strength Of reports
from government archives" showing
their immense production and sundry
legends, accounting for their temporary
abandonment. In the prospectuses Of
such schemes, references to pestilence
war, quarrels among owners, ETC., as
the causes of the interruption Of an al
most incredibly profitable business are
well known features.
No doubt all ancient evidence, wheth-
er historical or legendary, has its value
for mining enterprises, but 1t is well to
bear In mind that Mexican miners did
not usually leave rich ore when they
stopped working a NINE and there is
another proposition, applicable to many
mines outside of Mexico. yet too often
overwhelmingly, the record Of past
production is q measure not Of what is
left, but Of what is not left, In the ore

FATE OF THE JUNE BUGS.
Awful Purtshment That Was Do
creed ~ an Ancient Council

creed ~ an Ancient Council.
"Berne has an official collector OF
June bugs" writes correspondent OF
the Chicago News from. Switzerland.
This parsonage Is appointed by the
city council when the trienniai pest Of
June bugs occurs, and be is empow-
cred to destroy all the insects that may
be brought to him. Each owner of q
small estate Is obliged to gather five
pounds of bugs, and those who happen
to DO the proprietors Of larger pieces
OF property must collect proportion
ately more. For each pound that Is
missing from this obligatory amount
fine of 10 cents Is imposed, but If more
than the required quota Is fotthcom-
Ing a premium Of Q cents a pound Is
paid. This remuneration Is offered
also to others besides the property
owners. A landholder who entirely
neglects to gather any bugs at all is
subject to fine Of from IS to $40.
School children receive permission to
enter large estates, where they shake
the trees and poke long sticks about in
their endeavors to dislodge as many
bugs as possible
In times Of old, the ancient chroni-
ciers tell us, it was the custom to at
tempt to rid the country Of these un-
welcome visitors by citing them into
court and by banishing them from the
country, but the willy insects failed to
obey the summons and continued to
fly about In the face Of the law, laying
eggs promiscuously and contrary to
edict. In a certain village 1t was de-
termined to make q terrible and last
Ing example Of all the insects found
within It's borders. With considerable
expenditure of time and patience guam
titles Of bugs were collected and placed
In huge sack. Deliberntion was hold
as to the fate of these hard backed
prisoners. Ordinary death was consid-
cred too light punishment for suoh
offenders. A hideous end must be
theirs.
"a procession Of the inhabitants OF
tho village, advisers and councilors

slowly toward the place Of execution

sihility and business Of their act, the
wise men approached the edge Of The
precipice. The bugs were to be igno

GOOD CHEER AT MEALS.
The Value of Laughter as an Aid to
Digestion.


Digestion.
Nothing else will take the place of
good cheer and laughter at meals or
any other time In the home. There is
vital connection between amiability
and digestion-between good cheer and
assimilation. Laughter Is the best
friend the liver has and depression or
melancholia its worst enemy Numer-
GUS experiments have shown that mirth
and cheerfulness stimulate the secre-
ton of the gastric juices and are pow
erful aids to digestion. Yet, knowing
this, many of US sit as gloomy and alb
sorbed at the table as at a funeral.
In many homes scarcely a word is
spoken at meals outside of requests for
an article Of food.
The meal hour ought to mean some
thing besides supplying a mere animal
function. The bell which calls the
family to the table ought to be the sig
nal for a good time generally, when
all cares should be thrown Off and ev-
erybody appear at bis best. 1t ought
to signalize the time for mirth and
laughter. 1t ought to be looked for
ward to by the members Of the fami.
~ as the recess or incoming is looked
forward to by pupils In school as let
up from the strenuous life.-Orison
