HUM0R OF LINCOLN.
How the President Sized Up the Con-
federate Forces.

federate Forces.
A visitor once asked Lincoln how
many men the Confederates had in the
field. The president replied very seri-
Ously:
Twelve hundred thousand, accord
ing to the best authority.
The visitor paled as he said:
Good heavensr
Eyes, sir, 1,200,000 No doubt Of 1t.
You see. all Of our generals when they
get whipped say the enemy outnum-
bered them from three or five to one.
and | must believe them. We have
100000 men in the tield. and three
times four make twelve
A delegation once waited upon Lin
coin to ask the appointment of GER
tain man as commissioner to the Sand
witch islands. Besides his fitness for
the place, they urged his bad health.
But the president in reply said, Gen
tlemen. | am sorry to say that there
are eight other applicants for that
place, and they are all sicker than your
man"
A woman came to the White House
one day on an unusual Grand which
Lincoln suspected was a pretext, but
he took her at her word and gave her
the following note TO major OF the
quartermaster's department: My dear
sir. the lady bearer of this says she
has two sons who want to work. Set
them at it If possible. Wanting TO
work is so rare merit that it should
be encouraged. A. Lincoln"

ELUSIVE LIGHTNING.
One Of Natures Greatest and Most Eff
fective Dramatic Actors.

During thunder storm we get an
inkling of how fearfully and wonder
fully the universe in which we live is
made and what energy and activity its
apparent rassiyity and opacity mark.
A fash of lightning out of storm
cloud seems instantly TO transform the
whole passive universe into a terrible
living power.
If We were to see and hear it for the
first time. would we not think that the
Judgment day had really come? That
the great seals of the book Of fate were
being broken?
What an awakening it is! What q
revelation. What a fearfully dramatic
actor suddenly leaps upon the stage!
Had we been permitted to look behind
the scenes, we could not have found
him; he was not there, except, pOten-
tally; he was born and equipped in a
twinkling. One stride, and one word
which shakes the house, and he is gone;
gone as quickly as he came. Look be-
hind the curtain and he is not there.
He has vanished more completely
than any stage ghost ever vanished
he has withdrawn into the innermost
recesses of the atomic structure of
matter, and is diffused through the
clouds, to be called back again, as the
elemental drama proceeds, as suddenly
as before.
All matter is charged with electricity,
either actual or potential; the sun is
hot with it, and doubtless our own
heartbeats, our own thinking brains,
are intimately related to it; yet it is
palpable and visible only in this sudden
and extraordinary way. 1t deties our
analysis, it defes our definitions: it is
inscrutable and imponderable, yet it
will do our errands, light our houses,
cook our dinners and pull our loads.
How humdrum and constant and pro
sale the other forces-g gravity, cohesion.
chemical affinity and capillary attrac-
tion-seem when compared with this
force of forces. electricity. How deeply
and quietly it slumbers at one time
how terribly active it becomes at an
other, believing through the heavens
like, an Infatuated and destroying god.
John Burroughs in Harper's Maya
zine.

USE SENSE IN EATING.
A Person May Be Fat and Still Lack
Proper Nourishment.

proper NourlSnmSnr.
The majority of people do not under
stand that person may be fat, excess
sively fat, and still be underfed and
weak from lack of proper nourish-
ment.
One may eat to excess of starch
foods, hot breads, oils and sweets and
as a result be rolling in fat and at the
same time show severe case of NAL
nutrition, evidenced by lack Of strength
in muscular effort or mental cOncentra-
ton.
The system needs these foods, for
they are known as the "fuel foods" be-
cause they furnish the body heat, but
the system also needs an abundance
of the very elements of which the
body or, rather, the muscular fiber is
composed. These muscle making foods
are fresh meat, eggs and milk, fresh
vegetables and fruits.
If one is in the habit of eating rath-
err heartily of mixed diet and is grow
ing fat upon it, then reduce the amount
of sweets, starches and fats, and you
will find plenty Of nourishment in the
muscle building foods.
In addition to attention to diet, how
over, attention must be paid to the
need of fresh air and exercise if one
would keep from becoming too fat. If
you would have a good figure practice
deep breathing and exercise in adj
dition to cutting down on your diet.
The greatest problem of conservation
relates not to forests or mines, but to
national vitality. and to conserve the
latter we must begin by conserving

According to American Medicine, "the
real reason why there are 100000 I'M
necessary deaths every year among our
babies is that the fathers cannot make
enough money to keep them alive. One
in every eight born is foredoomed to
early death for this reason and no
other. 1t is not necessarily straight
starvation, but precious near it, as well
as deprivation Of comforts which are
necessities for a baby. If the father
makes more than $50 week the death
rate of his infants is less than eighty
four per thousand; if he makes less
than $40 they die at the rate of over

How Toucans BOOST.

Nothing could be more eccentric to
our eyes than the way in which tou-
cans go to roost. The bird does not
''tuck its head under its wing. poor

itself up in most orderly fashion. The
tail is turned forward over the back,
in the soft feathers of which the gigan-
tic bill is hidden. Then the tail shuts
down. all semblance of a bird is lost.
