paralytic shows US how to cure our

Lincoln's Speeches and Writings


Lincoln's great speeches are short,
but how fit in expression, how packed
with meaning! Take. for example. the
one delivered to his friends on the
eve Of his departure for Washington.
Like the second inaugural or the ad-
dress at Gettysburg. 1t contains no
superfuous word Every one fits into
place as perfectly is the carpenters
braces and timbers into the completed
building.
AS writer, Mr.. Lincoln was most
painstaSing. he sought always the
simplest, shortest and best word. he
knew that the simplest and shortest
word usually is the best. The real Sc
cret Of his greatness as speaker and
a writer, however. lay deeper. 1t was
the supreme greatness Of his soul
which shone through his words that
charmed and still charms the world

His Wonderful invention.

Australia, as IS well known, is In
tested with rabbits, most destructive
and mult1tudinous pest. Not long ago
a man invented the following plan:
You go out into the field from which
the rabbits are to be removed. You
saw down q tree, and on the slant OF
the stump you paint black spot.
Then you keep very quiet, so that the
rabbits will come back from their bur-
rows and feed rs usual. When
large enough number has collected you
clap your hands sharply. The effect
will be electric. The rabbits will jump
in haste for their burrows. At least
one is sure to mistake the black spot
for his hole and make for It lnVaria-
bly he Will dash his brains out. This
process, repeated often enough, IS
warranted to exterminate the rabbit
forever.
The reports do not say whether
there are any rabbits left In Australia.

EARLY CARlCATURES.
Quaint Art and Hunor of the Ancient
Egyptians.

The fables Of Aesop prove that the
ancients were not without liking for
fun, and the remains Of ancient art
tell the same story. Examples of ar
tistic humor are more common than is
generally supposed.
a drawing on tile in the New York
museum represents cat dressed as an
Egyptian woman Of fashion She is
seated languidly on q chair, slipping
wine out Of q small bowl and being
famed and offered dainties By an alb
ject looking tomcat with his tail be-
tween his legs.
Ihe cat figures largely in the ancient
comic groups Of animal life. In O
papyrus in the British museum flock
Of geese are being driven by a cat
and 4 herd Of goats by two wolves
with crooks and wallets. One Of the
wolves is playing double pipe.
There is In Turin papyrus roll that
displays a whole series Of such conical
scenes. In the first place, lion, a
crocodile and an ape are giving vo-
cal and instrumental concert Next
comes an ass dressed, armed and scep-
tered like a pharaoh. With majestic
swagger he receives the gifts present
ed to him by cat Of high degree, to
which q bull acts as proud conductor.
a lion and O gazelle are playing at
draughts, a hippopotamus is perched
In q tree, and hawk has climbed into
the tree and IS trying to dislodge him.
Another picture shows a pharaoh In
the shape Of rat drawn in carriage
by prancing greyhounds. He is pro-
ceeding to storm a fort garrisoned by
cats having. no arms, but teeth and
claws. whereas the rats have battle
