Why Lincoln Helped a Bug.

President Lincoln was walking with
Il friend about Washington and turned
back for some distance to assist a
beetle that had got on its back and
lay on the walk, legs sprawling in air,
vainly trying to turn itself over. The
friend expressed surprise that the
President, burdened with the cares of
Il warning nation, should find time to
spare in assisting a bug.
"Well," said Lincoln, with that
hOmely sincerity that touched the
hearts of millions of his countrymen,
''do you know that if l had left that
bug struggling there on his back I
wouldn't have felt just right? wanted
TO put him on his feet and give him
an equal chance with all the other
bugs OF his class"

EYE TEST FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Used as Check Upon Older Methods,
as. 1t Happens Occasionally Re-
actors Escape.

The eye test for detecting tubercu-
losis in cattle has the approval Of the
scientists of the bureau of animal in
dustry, United States Department of
Agriculture. The ophthalmic or eye
test is used as a check upon the older
methods, as it happens occasionally
that an animal that will not react to
the simultaneous injection or intra-
dermal test will react to the eye test.
Two tuberculin tablets are placed in
the conjunctival sac beneath the lower
lid of the left eye and observations are
taken at approximately the third hour

following and at frequent intervals up
to 81 hours. Reaction to the test is in
Gicated by discharge and swelling.
The bureau of animal industry is not
prepared to accept the evidence of the
eye test alone where cattle are intend
ed for interstate shipment. The test.
however, furnishes an additional safe
guard when used with the older
method.
The eye test is not well adapted for
use upon range cattle or cattle in
transit, because of the possibility for
dust setting up an irritation not relat-
ed to tuberculosis. 1t has its best use
on the dairy farm. where conditions
are such as to give sure results.
The experts hav" observed that in
herds which are frequently tested by
the simultaneous rcthod it is adviS
able to apply the ntraGermal and/the
eye test. The combined test sometimes
detect reactors which have escaped
detection by other means.

As Lincoln Is Remembered

The work he did, the sum Of his
deeds and their great fruitage, may
inspire the chronicler of our national
life and the recorder of Gods hand
writing in the annals of His world ;
but to the rank and file, who know
but vaguely the details of his heroic
achievements, the memory of Lincoln
takes the form of a warming, loving,
saddening personal presence, latter
day reflection of the everlasting Man
of Sorrows.

1t is in the very variety and extent
of the studies Of LincoIns character
that the strength of his hold on the
imagination of the world is shown.
Fifty-six years have passed since
he met his tragic death. Through all
that period the interpretations OF his
haracter-historical analytical pO-
etical-have steadily increased in num-
Der. The bare facts of his unique,
yet strangely typical and significant
career, arrange themselves in per-
spective like the acts of a great up
lifting tragedy. If he had lived in the
days when myths were made, it is
easy to imagine that in the process
of time he would have grown into a
great mythical figure; a King Arthur

His age is one of the most amply re-

Of his life are so intertwined with

his feet can never be wholly removed

better that no such possibility exists.
We need to know thut out of our com
mon life can spring so extraordinary
an example of the development of
which our human nature is capable.
When all is said and done, when his
wisdom, his patience, his sacrifice are
