MAPS ON GLOBES.

Ths ephsrss, Made Of Brown Paper,
Are Wonderfully Strong.
Few people could say Of what sub
stance globe maps are made and would
be astonished to hear that brown pa
Der IL the chief material used. A mat
rix Of wood ~ covered with strips Of
brown paper which have been well
smeared with paste. The paper Is laid
on the matrix until It is about six
teenth Of an inch thick and the globe
looks like round football. When this
paper covering Is dry It Is cut midway
between what win be the two poles,
removed from the matrix. and after an
axis has been fixed In 1t the two hem
ispheres are glued together. Then this
sphere Of brown paper In coated with
q composition plaster, the ingredients
Of which are q trade secret and again
Left to dry.
After being tested to see that It II
an exact sphere the meridians are
marked on the globe to guide the girls
who finish the work. The globe is then
fixed In a clamp. which holds its axis,
and a girl takes the engraved cores,
cut ready for use, and pastes them on
without overlapping. II the globe II
exact the CORES should at 30 exactly
that you cannot see where they are IN
the completed globe.
When the cores have dried on the
giobe Il colored by a hand process,
which Is also done by girls. and then
polished The globe IL now ready 30
be mounted on its stand and to have
its meridian fitted. Formerly, says the
Worlds Work, when the industry was
most fourishing, the metal and wood
work connected with the fittings form
cd separate industries, but today the
globe maker does the whole work on
his own premises.
II might be mentioned that globes
thus made are SO strong that a man
could stand on one and not break it.
Indeed, you cannot break one without
using great violence.

POSTMASTER LINCOLN.
What Happened When He Was Called
Upon to Square Accounts

upon to square Accounts.
On May Z, 1888, says +. r. Browne
In 'The Everyday Life of Abraham
Lincoln" Lincoln was appointed post
master at New Salem, ILL.,, by Presi-
dent Jackson. The duties Of the posi-
ton were light, for there was only one
mail a week and the remuneration
was correspondingly small.
The office was too insignificant to be
considered politically, and 1t was CIV
en- to the young man because every
one liked him and because he was tie
only man willing to take 1t who could
make out the returns. He was exceed
ingly pleased with the appointment be-
cause It gave him a chance to read ev-
vicinity. He had never been able to
get half the newspapers he wanted.
and the Office gave him the prospect
OF constant feast. Not wishing 10
be tied to the office, since II yielded
him no revenue that would reward
him for the confinement, he made o
postofIice Of his hat. Whenever he
went out he put the letters in his hat.
When n person who expected n letter
met the postmaster he found also the
postoffice, and the public official, TAX
ing off his hat, looked over and deliv-
cred the mail wherever the public
might find him. He kept the office uD-
I'll II was discontinued or was removed
TO Petersburg.
A small balance due the government
remained In LincolD's hands at the dis
continuance of the Office. Time pass
ed on and he had removed to Spring
field and was practicing law, having
his place of business In DR.. Henry's
office. Meanwhile his struggle with
poverty was undated, and he had
often been obliged to borrow none!
from his friends to purchase the barest
necessaries. 1t was ut that juncture
that government agent called to
make settlement Of the old postoffice
accounts. The interview took place In
the presence of DIR. Henry, who thus
described 1t to Mr. Browne:
'I did not believe he had the money
on hand to meet the draft, and l was
about To call him aside and offer to
lend him the money when he asked
the agent to be seated. He went over
to his trunk at his boarding house and
returned with an old blue sock, in
which quantity OF silver and copper
coins was tied up. Untying the sock,
he poured the contents upon the table
and proceeded to count the coins.
"The government agent found that
the pile contained the exact amount
OF the draft to cent and in the iden-
teal coins that Mr.. Lincoln had re-
ceived He never under any circum-
stances used trust funds.'

Plain Living and High Thinking RuIo
His Existence.
In "Rabindranath Tagore," by Basan-
Ia Koomar Roy, Is this picture Of the
simple life Of the great poet and seer
Of India, who won the Nobel prize for
literature:
"Tagore himself lives alone in a
house. He gets up with the morning
bell, sometimes before, and takes his
morning bath, goes on the roof and
loses himself In meditation for hours
ut a time. In this house he quite Of
ten cooks his own meals In an eco
nomic cooker He does not eat much.
Boiled rice, boiled potatoes, cauliflower
or beans, enough Of butter are all that
he cares to eat He Is not fond of milk
or sweets. He takes long walks for
exercise and is fond Of gardening.
"Plain living and high thinking Is
the keynote Of his life at Bolpur. He
breaches to the boys and to the teach
ers twice a week In the temple. His
love for the children Is of an idealistic
nature. At times one OF them will
steal into his room and watch him
smile and move his head to and fro as
he writes or thinks over a poem. One
such boy startled him by exclaiming,
That's how the madmen do
"'Yes, my child, poets are worse
than madmen. When did you come
into the roomT"

"Made In the United States" might
In all truth be stamped on the coins Of

Rio Grande river and Cape Horn, II
does supply them with large part Of
their money, says the Washington
Star, and this, In spite Of the Spanish
phrases and foreign emblems that Il

Since the authorization to coin money
for foreign countries was given to the
mints by congress In January, 1874.

for the government engaging in the
business. 1t puts this country In po-
ntion to do neighborly acts, and II al
lows us to keep our coming equipment

periods when 1t would otherwise be
necessary to suspend operations. The
decreasing need for mints with our
vast accumulations Of coins, the growth
Of banking and the use OF paper mon

seven mints that have been I'm exist

three are now equipped for turning out
coins, the others having been either
abandoned or turned into assay ofnces.
