When Lincola. a struggling lawyer, was doing circuit duty In Ohio he once visited a country town where the general storekeeper had the reputation of adulterating, even to the danger point, his cider. In the midst of a genera! condemnatlor. of this store keeper Lincoln rose one night from his seat by '.he hotel stove. 'Come on. boys." he said. And he led a party of a half dozen lawvyers and judges to the general store. -Let nie have a quart of cider." he said to the storekeeper. "Yes. sir." was the cordial reply.

The first match wUs the product of the ingenuity of John Frrederick Komn erer, who early in the nineteenth cen tury was Impriso'ned in the peniten tIary- at Hohenasperg, in Germany. Hie invented tbe lucifer match while la his gloomy dungeon. The German government forbade the manufacture of matches on the ground of public policy because some children playing with them had caused a tire.

Kairwan is the Mecca of the west It is a city so sacred that women are allowed to move about In it but very. little. One of the interesting sights is the Mosque of Emir Ben Said Bon Mnphtah. This mosque, with its six melon shaped domes, Is the tomb of a most amusing old Moslem who died about the middle of the last century. He had great power over the bey and managed affairs according to his own pleasure. This Moslem got possession. In Tunis of four large anchors which probably belonged to some old men-of war abandoned on account of stress of weather. The gentleman with the long name was not content with any such prosaic explanation of their origin. By means of the labor of 500 Arabs he had the anchors dragged from Tunis and deposited in front of his house. The transportation took five months. He then declared them to be the an chors by which Noah fastened the ark to Mount Ararat The relics are Dow in the mosque of their former owner and are regarded as holy. His Rules of Golf. A 'awyer of considerable prominence took up the game of golf. Some of his friends volunteered chapters of advice. while another presented to the beginner a book of rules. After com pleting his first round the counselor was asked if be had mastered the rules. The perspiring lawyer realized the sarcasm of the remark, but proved equal to the occasion. "The rules? Oh. they are quite simple." he replied. "There are two I know of, and to my mind they are the most imp.tant You must hit the ball with your club. and after you have hit It you must find it. of course, before you hit it again. It will take an honest man sev eral weeks to master these two rules. After driving the ball you must hit it wherever It lies. Good lies are as im portant in golf as In fishing. LosWing a ball costs you two strokes and the price of the ball. Ritting a caddie with the ban is justifable homicide." -New York Tribune. Butler's Reply. There was a time, while Lyman Trumbull was chairman of the senate committee on judiciary, that Benjamin Butler was chairman of the judiciary committee of the house. It was at this period that a delegation from one of the southern states visited Wash ington with a desire to secure the im peacbment and removal of the federal judge of their state. They interviewed Mr. Butler as to the probability of car rying such a measure through that session. "1 don't know," was Mr. Butler's re ply; "I am chairman of the judiciary committee of the house. The neces sary action can be had here. But Ly man Trumbull is chairman of the sen ate committee, and Judge Trumbull Is troubled with two things-the dyspep sil, which makes him miserable. and conscience which makes im uncer tan." __ A Useful Reminder. An M. P. who in his magLterial capacity periodically visited a private lunatic asylum told the story of a man of some position In the legal world who went to see a patient who had occasional lapses into sanity. The patient made a great Impression on his visitor as a well iformed, healthy minded gentleman and was assured that his case should be inquired into. On leaving, the grateful patient courteously conducted his morning caller to the front door, affectionately presing his hand at parting. -Ya won't forget what I've told: you," he pleaded, with tears in his voice. "No," responded the visitor, turning round to descend the rather long flight of steps. "I don't think you will." said thepa tient dremily. "but lest you should you know" And, lifting up his foot, he gave the unsuspecting, defenseless visitor a kick behind that sent him spinning down the stairway and sprawling on the graveL-1-earson's Weekly. A Bird's White Feathers. The occurrence of white feathers In a bird's plumage is very common. it Is, of course, due to lack of coloring matter and is liable to appear in both young and old birds. I have known of several old birds.to exhibit this pe culiarity (mostly in the wing feathers. however), and It may be due to imper 'feet nutrition and circulation as the: bird ages. I have also noticed it inI young birds in a number of Instances. The phenomenon thus cannot be said to occur simply as a result of old age. but Is rather one of those slIght changes In the bird's system the causes of which we do not know.: There is this much more to be said. however-when a young bird starts out with a few white feathers they are uhally retained throughout life. tolting each time in a similar man ner.

Lord Peterborough, who lived in the reign of Queen Anne, was very frolic some, and one day, seeing from his carriage a dancing master with peari colored stockings lightly stepping over the broad stones and picking his way in extremely dirty weather, he alight ed and raw after him with drawn sword in order to drive him into the mud, but into which he of course fol lowed himself. This nobleman was once taken for the Duke of Marlbor ugh and was mobbed In consequence. The duke was then in dlsgrace with the people. and Lord Peterborough was about to be roughly handled Turning to them, he said: "Gentlemen. I can convince you by two reasons that I am not the Duke of Marlborough. In the first place. I have only 5 guineas in my pocket, and, In the second, they are heartily at your service." Patroness of Music. The origin of music is los- in an tiquity. Among civilized people It Is probably to be traced to the ancient Egyptian priests, who employed this art in their religions rites and cere moniesr. From the Egyptians the Greeks and the Romans derived their knowledge of music. The ancient He brews probably took with them into Palestine some of the songs they had learned in Egypt. The hymns used In the temple formed the basis of the melodies of the early Christian church, and from these hymns was formulated the rst authoritative musical system. St. Cecelia is termed the patroness of music.-Exchange The Spit Snake. There is a snake belonging to the small family causidae. inhabiting A rica, that is said to have the power of ejecting its venom to a short distance. This snake is called by the Dutch Boers "spuw slang." or spit srnake. When this snedke erects its teeth the pressure of the maxillary bone on the gland causes the venom to flow In drops, and it may be quite poNeu that by discharging air from Its mouth the poison may be blown soZn dis tance. The Gypsies. The origin of the people known as gypsies remains largely a mystery. Egypt, India. Persia and Arabia have in turn been pointed out as their origi nal country. but there Is little defi nite knowledge on the subject The weight of evidence Is in favor of their having originated in India. They irst appeared in Europe about 1400 and from the Danube region spread all over the continent, appearing In Eng land about 1520. Candidates' Cards. -Congress.
