~ URING his more than four
years as president of the Unit
ed States Abraham Lincoln
took but one vacation. That
was just after the beginning of his
new term, after four years of constant
application to the nations business in
time of terrible civil war. The vaca-
tion ended but a few days before the
assassination of Mr. Lincoln, but it
was glorious vacation and was
greatly enjoyed by the sad and weary
president
Lincoln's vacation was quite differ
ent from the presidential outings to
which we are accustomed of late. He
did not seek a sequestered lake far up
in the north, where he could fish, cut
bait and swap yarns with cronies, nor

Leaves"

To him who is penetrated by true
principles even the briefest precept Is
sufficient, and common precept, to re-
mind him that he should be free from
grief and fear. For example, says
Homer:
Leaves-somo the wind scatters on the
ground
So is the race OF men.
Leaves also are thy children. and
leaves. too, are they who cry out as If
they were worthy of credit and bestow
their praise or, on the contrary, curse
or secretly blame and sneer, and leaves
in like manner are those who shall re-
ceive and transmit a mans fame to
aftertimcs. for all such things as these
"are produced in the season Of spring"
as the poet says. Then the wind casts
them down. Then the forest produces
other leaves In their places. But a
brief existence is common to all things
and yet thou avoidest and pursuest all
things as If they would be eternal. A
little time. and thou shalt close thy
eyes. and him who has attended thee
TO thy grave another soon will lament
Marcus Aureius.

Curious Nesting Habits.

Many birds in their nesting habits

advance of civilization. Thus the barn

and beneath the caves of our barns.
The chimney swift. which originally
placed its nest on the inside OF hollow
trees. now uses our chimneys for that
purpose. The purple martin. once nest

now in many sections OF the country
use nothing but the bird boxes which
kind hearted men have erected.

SHAVING NAPOLEON.
u Was q Difficult Job For Constant,
the Emperor's Barber.

Constant, NapoleOn's barber, tells Of
the many difficulties he experienced in
shaving the emperor. Napoleon would
take his place in the chair, conversng
and gesticulating. Suddenly he would
call for n paper or turn rapidly to look
behind him.
The utmost caution was necessary
on the part Of his barber 10 keep from
cutting him, yet In spite of all these
restless movements not once while
Constant was shaving the emperor did
he do so.
Sometimes when In the chair he
would sit stiff and motionless as q
stone, and Constant tells that he could
not get him to move his head either
way in order to facilitate the opera
tion Of shaving.
Napoleon had a singular whim OF
having only one side OF his face lath-
cred and shaved nj time. When he
shaved himself. which was seldom. he
Invariably cut himself badly. This was
due to his restless impatence, and,
though he was scrupulously neat in his
person. he would. after hewing slice

In disgust and go about with part Of

THE UNEMPLOYED.
Many Regions of the Earth Still Re.
main a Mystery.

Many years will elapse before any
other continent IS as we'll mapped as
Europe, and perhaps the era Of per-
fected mapping all over the world may
never come, because surveys are very
expensive and the five other continents
have far greater expanses than Europe
Of comparatively worthless lands that
do not call for the most detailed and
refined cartography. But a large
amount Of pioneer work still invites
the explorer, for many OF the unknown
areas have much territorial extent.
In the Amazon basin, for example.
three OF these regions are each much
larger than all of our New England
states. One unknown area in north
west Alaska IS nearly as large as New
England, and the Sahara has two
areas In black that are each twice as
large and another three times as large
as New England
Asia still has several of these vast
mysterious spaces, and the solid chunk
of the unknown in New Guinea, the
largest island in the world excepting
Greenland, would swallow up New
England and leave a black border all
around it.-Cyrus G. Adams In Har-
