LINC0LN'S INVENTION.
His Vessel Liter Had Only One Fault,
 That It Wouldn't Work.

Inot lt "ouIohS [ "OTks
 For years in the model hall of the patent office in Washington there stood tattered and torn model, mute evidence of one of the greatest intellects America has ever produc- ed. It is the model of the only pat ent granted to Abraham Lincoln. It is now one of the treasures of the National museum.
 Officially it was patent No. 6469, granted in 1849 to Abraham Lin coin, for a method of lifting vessels over shoals. It is a simple device. It had only one fault-it would not work!
 Lincoln, an experienced river man in his younger days, made a journey down the Mississippi to New Or leans as "hired hand" when he was nineteen and later as the part ner of one Denton Offutt, who built flatboat and sailed it for the river trade. Lincoln knew that the shift ing channels and the strange river bottom formations often presented obstacles to the operation of freight laden "hats," but it was not until he had finished a term as member of the house of representatives and begun the practice of law in Illinois that, pinched by poverty, he decided to turn to practical account his knowledge of river conditions.
 Lincoln was forty when he work ed out his device and had it patent ed, though doubtless the idea had been dormant since his boyhood.
 His idea was the equipment of flatboats with huge bellows along the sides. When the boat grounded these bellows were to be inflated by pressure brought to bear on the poles controlling the bellows, which were to be pressed downward, thus opening the bellows by windlass' In the model this windlass runs from end to end of the boat beneath the "upper deck' or pole holding superstructure.
 f The infating of the bellows was supposed to lift the boat from the bottom and make it draw less Wa ter. When it foatcd into deep wa. ter the bellows were to be detlated and the boat would proceed as be. fore. Just why the bellows could not remain inflated at all times the patent does not show.
 The silk covering of the bellows is cracked and blasted by time, but the rest of the construction IS 1T good condition. No use, so far as ls known, was ever made of the patent The river men fought shy of it and dredging made navigation more practical within few years.-Rall. road Man's Magazine.

The curate of large and fash ionable church was endeavoring to teach the significance of white to a Sunday school class.
 "Why," said he; "does a bride in- variably desire to be clothed in white at her marriage?"
 As no one answered, he explained. "White," he said, "stands for joy, and the wedding day is the most joyous occasion of a woman's life. "
 A small boy queried, "Why do the men all wear black ?"-Lippin- cOtt's,
