Or. John p. CULVER, Hearing Him
Speak, Was Tremendously I'M
pressed and Believed Him Di-
Vinely Selected to Lead.

After Abraham Lincoln had deliv-
cred his now traditional speech at
Cooper's Union, in New York. in Feb
ruary, 1860, he was urged to speak in
Connecticut, Rhode Island and New
Hampshire. At that time these three
New England states held their cleo
tons in the early spring; and as the
spring elections Of 1860 were thought
likely to reveal what popular feeling
was on the question then uppermost
IN the minds of the people, there was
a special eagerness on the part of the
young Republican party, then about
TO enter upon its second presidential
campaign, to carry these three states.
Mr.. Lincoln was willing to speak
three times in Connecticut, once in
Rhode Island, and, If possible, once in
New Hampshire. One of the towns
selected in Connecticut for a speech
was Norwich, the home of the Repub-
lican candidate for governor. William

One of the men who sat upon the
platform the night that Lincoln de
l1Vered his Norwich speech was Rev.
DR.. John CULVER. At that time he
was one of the most distinguished
clergymen in his denomination-the
Congregational. He afterwards was
president of Knox college, in Lincoln S

professor in Andover seminary, hold

1894.

Granite of the South

When one speaks of granite the
mind naturally reverts to Vermont II
is difficult to associate granite with
any section of North America outside
New England, yet it must now be &C
knowledged to the credit of the south
that Georgia. North Carolina, Mary
land and Virginia are producing large
quantities of stone of good quality
which insures the south a place in
the market at any rate
The annual output is now worth
about $3,500,000 and the industry is
growing 1t may be of comparative
interest to know that New England
output is about 100000 worth OF
stone annually.

HEREDlTT

The influence of heredity cannot, Of

and drink A Conn lady says:
For years while | was a coffee
drinker l suffered from bilious at
tacks of great severity, from which l
used to emerge as white as a ghost
and very weak. Our family physi-
clan gave me various prescriptions for
improving the digestion and stimulat-
ing the liver, which I tried faithfully
but without perceptible result.
He was acquainted with my fam
fly history for several generations
back, and once when l visited him he
said: If you have inherited one OF
those torpid liyers you may always
suffer more or less from its inaction
We can't dodge our inheritance, you
know
4 was not so strong a believer in
heredity as he was, however. and, be-
ginning to think for myself, l conclud-
ed to stop drinking coffee, and see
what effect that would have l feared
it would be a severe trial to give it
up, but when / took Postum and had
It well made, it completely filled my
need for hot beverage and grew
very fond of it.

using no medicine. During all that
time l have had absolutely none Of

fer from, and l have been entirely

Bismarck's New Year Eve.

Bismarck was not without supersti-
ton, and this always was noticeable
on the eve of the new year. From
nine o'clock that night until after mid
night he would not take water in any
circumstances from glass. 1t was an
ancient tradition in the chancellors
family that any one who set the leg
end at defiance would pass through
serious illness. If another tradition
is true, the observance of the family
legend must have been a sore trouble
to the iron chancellor, for the Paris
contemporary from which we take the
foregoing says that Bismarck not only
loved war, but beer and wines, espe-
cially French wines. He was not
averse to punch and grog, but on New
Years eve grog was under the ban,
for it contains water.

1t Saves Much of the Work of the
Fireman and Disposes of the
Smoke Problem.

One of the largest of the eastern
roads is beginning to equip it's 5000
locomotives with an automatic sto-
ker, which saves much of the work
OF flremen and practically disposes of
the smoke problem. Tests of the sto-
ker recently showed it to be a decided
success and officials Of the company
said it was probable that every loco
motive the company owned would
soon be equipped with the apparatus.
The automatic stoker feeds the coal
from under the fire, thus causing a
great saving of fuel. 1t is estimated
that it saves 80 per cent of the work
of firemen, but this will not throw fire
men out of work, because of the laws
requiring two men in the cabs of To-
comotives.

sician Who Previous Day Had
Pair Him High Compliment.

L believe it was practically the unan-
imous opinion of those who were near
President Mckinley at the time of his
that at no time during his term as
president did he seem so thoroughly
happy. He was buoyant his spirits
were high, he was looking forward to
an important departure in our eco
nomic policy, he had been showered
with evidences of the profound esteem
and the real affection that the people
generally entertained for him. He
felt he had obtained the full conf
dence of his fellow countrymen-that
they believed absolutely in his sin
certify and integrity of purpose, and
his desire to serve the whole people
impartially and with fairness.
Especially did the president seem
to realize all this the day before he
was shot down, and he did not hest
tate to express his sense of gratitude
over the discovery. He had a crate
full word for everybody who was pre-
sented to him that day and sometimes
several words
In the course of the afternoon a
prominent physician of Buffalo was
presented to the president. There
was the usual interchange of formal
ties, and then the physician presumed
upon the good nature of the presi-
dent to take little more of his time.

to take this opportunity to say to
you that there is no member of your
party who more sincerely admires
your courage as president, or who has
higher personal respect for you, than

achievement which have so far char
acterized your administration"
Probably nothing that was said to
The president that day touched him
more deeply than the words of this
physician, and before he would permit
the latter to give way to the guests
behind him, the president spoke with
feeling and with cordial appreciation
