sneezlnu as an art.

Yesterday" said the pretty girl, II
met a sneezing teacher. ] don't r.ean
a teacher who sneezes, but a person
who teaches other people how to
sneeze. / had always understood that
New York attracts instructors in every
art known TO modern education. but a
professor of sneezing struck me as a
decided novelty.
81 am going to take a few lessons.
The professor argues that he is very
useful member of society. Nobody, he
claims, can prevent sneezing, no mat
ter how many formulas and medical
ments may be absorbed But though
a sneeze may not be avoided it may
be cultivated, and from a stertorous
snort it may be modified into a gentle,
melodious trill For anybody who is
likely to startle the neighborhood with
freqent sneezes the experiment is well
worth while"

Nary Todd Lincoln, from a
photograph made about 1861.

ter back he would marry her. Mrs.
Able reported the conversation, and
Mary Owens accepted Lincoln's of.
fer as being seriously intended.
Lincoln was in a dreadful predica-
ment. Go back upon his word he
would not, even If it meant lifelong
misery for him. Mary Owens was a
year older than he. and when he met
her again she seemed to have lost
most of her good looks. He wrote to
her. Il am afraid you would not be
satisfied" he said. you would have
TO be poor without the means of hid
Ing your poverty. What have said
will most positively abide by, pro.
vided you wish it. My opinion is that
you had better not do IL. You have
not been accustomed to hardship. and
1t may be more severe than you now
imagine. / know you are capable of
thinking correctly on any subject, and
II you deliberate maturely upon this
before you decide, then | ael willing
to abide by your decision"
This did not sound in Miss Owens
ears like the ardent protestation of
true love. She wrote back and gave
him piece of her mind, saying that
he was deficient in those little links
which go to make up a woman's hap.
piness."
Lincoln, not little relieved, accent
ed this rejoiuder as the conclusion
of the matter and wr4te to Mrs.
Browning: II have now come to the
conclusion never again to think of
marrying"
About a year later a high-spirited
and fascinating Kentucky girl 21
years old, Mary Todd-the sister OF
a Mrs. Edwards, at whose house Lin
coin was frequent visitor-was the
cause of broken resolution. Stephen

SPEED CONTESTS WITH BULLS
Form of Sport That Is Extremely Pop
ular in Burma.

A form of sport very popular in
Burma is bull racing. These contests
are largely attended by the natives,
who bet considerable sums of money
on the result. A native sportsman
who owns one of these bulls, values ii
at 10000, and it is said to bring him
in an annual income of from $4,000 to
$1,000
In Hagenback's famous zoo In Ham
burg, Germany, are to be found several
specimens of giant tortoises from the
Galapagos islands. These monsters
weigh several hundred pounds each,
and have become quite tame. Frequent.
ly the German youngsters utilize them
in races. The riders mount upon the
backs Of their ungainly steeds, and
holding before the animals mouths a
head of lettuce attached to a rod, urge
them on to greater speed until the end
of the course is eached.-Sunday

When ABE" was % years old he be-
came clerk in the store of Denton
| Offutt, at New Salem, Ind. 1t was a
general store, and his employment
was various. Presently he was made
postmaster, and carried letters (for

employment as deputy county survey

James Rutledge, grandson of signer
Of the declaration, and there he met
and fell head over heels in love with
the beautiful, blue-eyed Ann Rutledge,
the 19-year-old daughter of mine host
the tavern keeper.
Ann Rutledge had been engaged to
a prosperous young farmer, John Nc
Nell by name, but John Mcneil had
heard the east a-callin'," and had
gone thither upon business bent, prom
Using to come back and reclaim her as
his bride His letters, at first frequent
and ardent, became non-committal and
occasional and finally there were no
more OF Mr.. McNeill's missives for
Postmaster Lincoln TO hand to Ann
from the crown OF his hat. She still
was faithful TO McNeilPs memory. For
long time she would not listen to a
word of love from the newcomer. But
it was the old story of first endure,
then pity, then embrace"
Abe likewise felt sorry for the
Tilted Ann. and longed TO be able to
comfort her with his sympathy. They
were thrown together three times a
day al meals, and presently she let
him sit with her on the steps, and that
led to long rambes through the coun.
try roundabout. When at last she was
convinced that Mcneil was never
coming back 10 her. Ann Rutledge

GOOD WORK AMONG FILlPlNos.
Women's Club Responsible for AneI-
oration of Conditions.

The Philippine Women's club, the
first of its kind in the Philippines. is
struggling to supplement its work of
supplying sterilized milk to sickly, i'll
fed infants by establishing small
maternity hospital and a training class
for maternity nurses. This club was
due to a suggestion from Miss Con-
cepcion Felix, who was at the time a
student OF law and who In the course
of her studies became interested in the
woman movement in the western
countries. This was in the summer Of
1905, and Miss Felix's suggestion was
so enthusiastically received that a
club with a membership Of several
hundred native women was quickly
formed.
Having determined to establish a
center for the distribution of pure
milk, the club gave garden party in
the palace grounds for the purpose OF
raising the necessary funds. More
than $4,000 was cleared at this enter
tainment and the sterilizing apparatus
was imported from Paris. A building
was contributed by Dr. Doherty and
the work begun under the personal
supervision of a number of well-known
Filipino physicians.
At present the number of children
cared for is between so and rs, The
sterilizing department is said to be a
little model of its kind.

Hard Life Of Arctic seaIer.

The Arctic sealer endures a hard
life. Sealing does not consist only of
hurried scrambling over ice, and fierce
breathless battling afterwards. There
are many hardships to endure. The
most common type of Arctic weather
is q dense, lung clogging fog, with a
a glowing furnace. This fog may be
diversified with cruel billiards of pelt-
Ing snow. borne on the wings of the
constant gales. Once the snow passes
come sleet and rain-rain that is as
cold as ice. Misery prevails greatly
among the crews Of Arctic sealers. for
the dampness and the cold soon sap
the stoutest constitutions.
