YOUNG ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Touching Reminiscence: by a. Woman
Who Know and Loved Him.
Mrs. Harriet .G.:‘;Walker_in the Minne-
apolis Journal :—£’Oor Jack! It is hard
to realize that the: colds‘ohnding cable
message that “young Abraham Lincoln is
no, ntorc'.’ can have any . reference what.-
ever towthc _.bright and merry boy whOSc
acquain’tiiuce'I-l' made during a summer
visit to‘ Mount Pleasant, Iowa, a few sum-
mers since. Many tears will fall from
boyish eyes in that little town over yester-
day’s message, and many a boy will whis-
per “Poor Jack"——-for he was their hero,
their idol.
This young son of Robert Lincoln was
no ordinary boy. lie had no need of the
lustre of the great names of his grand-
fathers—Abraham Lincoln and Senator
Harlan—to single him out from among all
the boys of a school or a town as one of a
thousand. He was honorable and manly,
the companion and defender of his sisters,
especially the one nearest his own age,
and noue who have seen those children
about the house and grounds of grand-
father Harlan’s lOVely home, but will to
their tears for the dead boy add tears for
the bereaved sister whose life was so
closely wovui with his. 1 seem to see
them now as I saw them last, flying down
the street behind their pet pony, in the
little dog cart, bareheaded, fair curls fly-
ing in the wind, joyous laughter floating
back on the breeze—a beautiful sight, for
they were both beautiful children. l’oor
Jack, poor Jill l—for “Jack and Jill” they
were always called.
The long residence of the Lincolns at
Washington had given Jack—I cannot call
him Abraham—a great opportunity for
observing military movements and the
habits of camp life, of which he was very
fond, and so he would no more than strike
his summer home with Senator Harlan
- than the place was a camp at once. With-
.out a particle of anything dogmatic or
dictatorial in his disposition, he was yet a
born leader and every boy gave willing
obedience. One summer, of which I have
acknowledged, when not over twelve
years of age, he organized a military com-
pany immediately after his arrival, of
thirty or more boys. Tents were put up
and the company slept in them the whole
summer. Certain hours were for drill,
which was taught after the strict rules of
the army, and through all that summer
these boys kept up the highest state of
military discrpline, even to the extreme of
mounting guard.
It came to be quite the thing for old and
young about the town to go up at sand;
to witness the forma. "guard mounting,”
which was carried out with as much form
and dignity as at any military post. All
night long, and every night the sentinels,
relieVed every two hours, walked their
hearts, and kept guard over the miniature
encampment, and, officer though he was,
little Jack’s shoulder was under guard
musket as often as any of his “men.” It
is notuncommou to see boy companies
organize and run well for a season, but it
is a rare sight to see a company held to-
gether month after month and made to do
hard duties by the unaided executive
ability and the natural personal magnet-
ism of one boy, especially when that boy
was nearly if not quite the youngest of his
company.
And through it all, through all his life
at Washinht ill, and in spite of all the
attentions which had been showered upon
him, coming through his connection with
the illustrious both living and dead, he
was as unSpoiled, as honorable, as manly
and lovable as a boy could be. Had he
lived and had all gone well with him,
humanly speaking, there was every reason
to suppose that he would add new honors
to the honored name he bore and gladden
the heart of the world by the sight of a
favorite of fortune unspoiled by fortune’s '
favors. Whilea mother’s heart that has
tasted this sorrow goes out in sympathy
too deep for words to the mourning
mother and father across the seas, let
none forget that other household ,on
which the repeated strokes of bereavement
have fallen until there remains but its
honored head, on whom this last blow
will fall with a force past human appreci-
ation. Years ago, in the grave or his
oulyson, a brilliant and promising young
man, Senator Harlan buried his earthly
hopes and ambitions. When. after years
of mourning, this little boy claimed his
love, he again bound up his heart in the
life of a child, and again it is broken.
God knows why these things must be.
He only knows why such brilliant, cap-
able, hopeful young lives must be cut off
in the first bud of young manhood ; and
He is able to put His everlasting arms
of love and mercy round about and under-
neath those who suffer and those who
mourn. ~

A. New Method of Treating Disease.
Hospital Remedies.
What are they ? There is a new depar-
ture in the treatment of disease. It con-
sists in the collection of the specifics used
by noted specialists of Europe and America,
and bringing them within the reach of all.
For instance the treatment pursued by
special physicians who treat indigestion,
stomach and liver troubles only, was ob-
tpined and prepared. The treatment of
other physicians, celebrated for curing
catarrh was procured, and so on till these
incomparable cures now include diseases
of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness,
‘ rheumatism and nervous debility.
This new method of “one remedy for
. one disease” ’must appeal to the common
sense of all sufferers, many of whom have
experienced the ill effects, and thoroughly
realize the absurdity of the claims of Pat-
ent Medicines which are guaranteed to
cure every ill out of alsingle bottle, and the
use of which, as statistics prove, has ruin-
ed more sto‘t’hachs'than alcohol. ‘A cir-
cular describiiagjhese new remedies is

Facts Concerning Its Symptoms and Prog-
....!'9.flsi—S.ome of the. HIIIMIWMSIF“
{Greg's from Paruis—Eomgfulm-“y 5.19.,
ceeded by Dreadful Hopclossness.
With-the single exception of leprosy, per-
haps, the most terrible disease known to mod-
.ern medicalscience isthat which has passed .
into common speech under the name of pare.
sis. It is even doubtful if there ought to be
any exception made. It is a. disease which is
interesting and appalling almost beyond
measure. It is a decay of mind and body
which is exceedingly slow and gradual, but
absolutely certain and infinitely horrible.
No man or woman whom it ever attacked
ever recovered. Its victims are always in
middle life, in apparently the full flush of
health and vigor.
Erroneous popular impressions concerning
a. form of insanity which is so frequent and
so much talked of are, it seems, very numer-
ous. The idea that the disease is due prin-
cipally to excess is one. Again, the disease is
not to be confused with “softening of the
brain.” It is really a. hardening of the brain,
and the name “paresis” is really a misnomer.
The proper name is “general paralysis,” and
the disease is simply a deterioration of a
man’s whole nervous organization.
General paralysis is a. disease of the gray
matter of the brain—the highest organic pro
duct in nature. This is the substance which
reaches its highest development in middle
life, the seat of a. man’s faculties, whose uses
are called forth in the highest degree by the
European races who live in towns. Its abuses
by poisoning and overstrain are more com-
mon under these circumstances. A progres-
sive and incurable disease of this mind tissue
causes the whole nervous system to die, sure-
ly and progressively. Back of the decay of
the gray matter was the over stimulation of
the small blood vessels of the brain. Here,
strictly speaking, the disease begins. The
tissue of these blood vessels, and hence the
gray nervous matter itself, degenerates.
HOW IT BEGINS.
The beginnings of the disease are, for a
long time, utterly unnoticeable, even to the
trained eye of the physician. When they do
become noticeable the disease is far advanced.
The sufferer himself goes about his businem
as usual, recognizes his friends, and has no
apparent hallucinations. Finally his friends
notice that he is not just the same. He com-
plains of headaches, perhaps. The physician
is called in, and perhaps the disease has not
progressed so far but that the physician gives
the some advice. But finally all these symp-
toms become more marked, with the single
exception that all the headaches disappear,
and the man declares that he feels “wonder-
fully well,” or that he “never felt better in
his life.” He acts "peculiarly,” and yet has
strange new schemes for making large sums
of money in his business or in outside specu-
lation. The doctor is again called in, and
this time looks at the man with sharper eye.
He notices that the man, with his nuceasing
exaggeration of statement, has a. hesitancy of
speech, talks a little thickly, and stammers
some; he slurs a. little in pronouncing long
sentences or in articulating words with many
consonants in them. His voice is pitched in
a. little higher key. He walks with a kind of
sidelong shufile or shamble, and takes steps a
good deal shorter than he used to. He has
lost somewhat; in weight. The muscles round
hisJips and eyes twitch, and the pupil of one
eye is a little larger than the other. His
tongue twitches, too, when he runs it out.
His skin is slightly moist and hot and his
pulse is full. All his sensations are slightly
dulled. He often cannot distinguish between
colors, cannot hear distinctly, sometimes can-
not even smell pepper, or tell the difference be-
tween whisky'and vinegar. The doctor draws
a circle with a dot in the center, and asks the
man to bring the point of a lead pencil down
perpendicularly upon the dot. The man will
bring the point; down a. good ways from the
dot. The doctor touches the man’s knee
gently and it jerks. Lack of control over the
muscles is evident.
BECOMES A BOASTER.
The doctor tells the man to “keep quiet”
and “take rest,” and so forth, but privately
tells the man’s family that the patient has
general paralysis. In nine cases out of ten
the family refuse to believe anything of the
kind. They- insist that the father or husband
has simple nervous prostration; that; it is
folly to call him insane, and it would be an
outrage to confine him in an asylum. But in
a few months their minds are disabused. The
great business schemes and plans of the vic-
tim are soon seen to be hallucinations. He
makes purchases and contracts far in advance
of his means. He makes astounding gifts to
strangers. He brags continually of his grand
health and his glowing prospects. If he is a
man at all accustomed to the use of money,
he goes about making overtures for the pur-
chase, at enormous rates, of hotels, horses,
railroads, buildings, stock companies—every-
thing. His boastfuluess turns into evident
delusions. He is the beat rider, or jumper, or
walker, or card player, or fencer, or fighter
- in the world. He offers to make matches in
all these and every kind of sport between
himself and any one for fabulous sums of
money. He becomes more like a maniac
daily. He rushes around, talking excitedly,
gesticulating wildly, exposing himself to all
sorts of physical perils. He is dangerous at
this time, not because he is ugly or vicious,
but because he is bold in the extreme, and
has absolutely no fear of consequences. He
finally has to be placed in restraint.
This is the first stage of the dreaded “pare—_
sis.” In the second stage the man’s exalte-
tion and excitement wears off. He becomes
fat and stupid. The expression of his face is
utterly vacant. He agrees with all that is
said to him and is easily managed. He is apt
to fall down in walking. He picks up and
stuffs into his pockets all the stufl? he can lay
his hands upon. There is no vigor in any-
thing he does. He talks to himself in bed at
night in an automatic way. He has his delu-
sions, but he only speaks about them in a
silly way when he is asked. He sometimes
barks and growls when he is alone. The first
two stages last. from two to four years, and
then comes the third and last. The stages
shade into each other with infinite gradation.
In the last stage the man’s whole being has
been described as that of a. “happy lethargy.”
He is so paralyzed that he cannot walk or
stand steadily, and finally lies like wood upon
his bed. He cannot feed himself, and he can-
not eat anything but liquid or minced food,
for he bolts his food whole. He is wonder-
fully greedy for his food. He cannot utter
an intelligible sound. He will finally become
so paralyzed that voluntary motion of any
kind will cease in him, and he will die of
physical exhaustion—New York Sun.

True, there is a; five, minute proviso for varia-
tion of watches at certain times, but there
can‘hardly be found a. man conversant with
Lthewtraifljfii'd'ér systems as. used on American
'i‘a‘ilrdads‘ Who would care to vouch for the
- safety of a train running under the rules of
one of these systems whose conductor’s or
engineer’s watch was not reliable.
All first class roads receive time daily by
wire from some reliable source. The Wash-
ington university at St. Louis, MOI, is at
present supplying time for more roads in the
west than any other one institution; but the
Western Union Telegraph company, having
lately completed arrangements for supplying
time signals from the naval observatory at
Washington, D. C., is fast securing a monop-
oly of this business. Nearly all the wires of
the railroads in the United States are either
owned or under joint lease and operated as
Western Union wires by that company.
Thus, by refusing to allow the observatories
the use of wires for transmitting of signals,
they are gradually securing the wk 0 busi-
ness. The Western Union system is reliable
——probably more so than others, on account
of its being conducted on a more extensive
scale.
St. Louis time is sent at 10 o’clock a. m.
and Washington time at 12 noon. To receive
these time signals it is necessary first to have
a. completed, uninterrupted circuit of tele-
graph line from the observatory to the main
office of the road for which the time is being
sent. This is done by the connection of com-
mercial wires bet ween the two points a few
seconds before the signals begin.
At the main office (generally the headquar-
ters of the road) the signals pass through
what is called a “time repeater,” which is
simply a machine similar to a telegraph in-
strument, being so constructed that the neces-
sary number of wires over which time is to
pass may be connected to it, thus obtaining a
simultaneous action. For St. Louis time, at
9 o’clock, 57 minutes, precisely, the master
'clock at the observatory is attached to the
wire and beats, automatically, commencing
at 9 o’clock, 58 minutes, double beats each
second until 9 o’clock, 58 minutes, 50 seconds,
when the circuit; opens. At 9 o’clock, 59 min-
utes, the clock sends single beats each second
' until 9 o’clock, 59 minutes, 50 seconds, when the
circuit again opens. It remains so for ten
seconds, when the clock gives one beat‘which
denotes that ' it is 10 o’clock a. m., central
standard time. I
At the last opening of the circuit the man
at the time repeater at the railroad main
office pushes a. button which throws into con-
nection a circuit to the magnets in the regu-
lating clocks; and the last heat from the
master clock throws the hour, minute and
second hands of these clocks to the correct
place to show 10 o’clock, no minutes, no sec-
onds
This setting device is very simple. At-
tached, inside the clock, to the bars on which
the hands are fastened, are small bits of
steel, which are attracted to the magnets
when the latter are charged by the battery,
thus carrying the hands to the necessary
place. N o matter how fast or how slow these
clocks may be, they are set precisely by this
current of electricity at 10 o’clock—Omaha-
World-Herald.
Hawks and Trains.
The promptness with which'birds take ad—
vantage of the various appliances of modern
civilization is a strong argument in favor of
the doctrine that animal intelligence is not
different from human intelligence inkind, but
Only in degree.
According to one of our exchanges, an en-
gine driver on a Scotch railway has noticed
that hawks of the merlin, or “stone falcon,”
species 'make regular use of the passing of
trains. ‘
They fly close behind the train, near the
ground, partly hidden by the smoke.
cars thunder along through the fields and
meadows small birds fly up in clouds, and
while they are bewildered and preoccupied,
tho merlin dashes among them out of the
smoke and easily secures its prey.
Should it be unsuccessful it returns to the
wake of the train, and awaits the startling of
another bevy. The engineer aflirms that the
hawk has no difiiculty in keeping up with the
swiftest express trains.—Youth’s Companion.
Getting Up Early.
Most of the talk about early rising is moon-
shine. The habit of turning out of bed3 in
the middle of the night suits some people;
let them enjoy it. But it is only a. follylto
lay down a general rule upon the subject.
Some men are fit for nothing all day after
they have risen early every morning. Their
energies are deadened, their imaginations are
heavy, their spirits are depressed.
It is said you can work so well in the morn-
ing. Some people can, but others can work
best at night; others again, in the afternoon.
Long trial and experiment form the only
conclusive tests upon these points. Schdol
boys and young people generally ought to
get up early, for it is found that nine-tenths
of them‘can stand it, and it does them good.
But let no one torture himself with the
thought that he could have been twice as
goodaman as heis if he had risen every
morning at daylight. The habit would kill
half of us in less than five years—Domestic

The Czar at Home.
To see the emperor to best advantage he
must be sought in the bosom of his family.
Indeed, whatever he may think of his divine
'mission, nature cut him out fern. simple
bourgeois. Both he and his wife are never
happier than when they cauleave all state
etiquette and live for their children at
Gatschina, at Peterhof, or, best of all, in
Denmark, in which country the czar unbeuds
in a manner never seen elsewhere. There is
not so great a. romp as he among all his
nephews and nieces. He is master of all the
childish revels. To these princes and prin-
cesses the autocrat of all the Russias issimply
“Uncle Sasha,” and cries of “Uncle Sashal.
Uncle Sasha l” resound all over the place.—

who has habitually worn a No. 3 shoe, when
necessity demands can don a 3% without
great sacrifice; she still retains the integral
, number 3, which in some measure compen-
sates her for the added fraction; but a new
integer, No. 4, is distasteful by reason of its
formidable sound. If shoes, like hats, could
be graded by eighths of an inch she could
take refuge in a 3% shoe and yet be com-
paratively happy. From No. 4% to No. 5 is
a still greater trial to feminine nerves, and
in the realm of 6s—well, few women speak of
the size to any one else but the dealer. The
size stick, except for custom work, is not
often brought out in the retail shoe store. It
is a dangerous thing in the hands of a. tyro
salesman, and would defeat many a. sale.
With the expert salesman it can be made a
powerful little ally in selling shoes tocredulous
folk. He can skillfully place the size stick
where it will be mightier than either pen,

A War of Flowers.

teen years ago, when Harry Montague
was the leading man at Wallack’s theatre.
During the long run of “The Shaughraun” he
played Capt. Molyneux, and he wore one of
these red, red roses in his buttouhole. Im-
mediately his army of fair admirers, and no
modern stage Adonis has ever numbered so
large an army, adopted the rose as an out-
ward and visible sign of devotion to the hand-
some captain of the footlights, and the de-
mand for the roses was in consequence gen-
Rignold, another English actor, was playing
Henry V at Booth’s theatre about the same
time, and his admirers were in the habit of
wearing bunches of violets to give notice of
their fanciful idolatry, from the fact thatthe
actor wore a boutonniere , of these dainty
flowers during the course of the play. The
rival factions were enthusiastic champions of
their respective idols and bitter detractors of
the idol of the opposite faction, and the war
of flowers continued for some time, greatly
to the profit and amusement of the florists.—

, A Bird's Drinking Fountain.
In J 11116 of 1889 I had occasion to be out a
mile or thereabout from the town of Kent-
ville, and was for some time detained in a
strip of clearing about forty rods wide. While
there I noticed woodpeckers continually cross
ing this clearing from one block of woods to
the other. I thought nothing of it at first, as
these birds are very common here, but after
a constant stream of them had been going and
coming for some time I determined to go
across a. small field to a. point of hard woods,
where they all seemed to be going, and see if
I could find the cause. I discovered that the
woodpeckers were flying to and from the top
of a living white birch tree. About forty-
five feet up this tree the woodpeckers had
thickly perforated the bark a. space of about
ten inches around the trunk, causing the sap
to flow freely. I soon discovered that this
was a drinking fountain, not only for the
birds that bad so diligently worked- to bore
birds in the neighborhood were coming here
to get a. share of the sweet sap that; was con-
tinually flowing from the wounded tree.—

Waking Up thelBank of England.
A wealthy New Yorker had an exciting
parley in the Bank of England when be pre-
sented a number of notes for exchange into
American money. “W'e don’t know you,
sir,” said the teller. “You must be identified.”
“I shall not be identified,” said the New
Yorker. “You must cash your notes or I
shall make trouble.” The cashier came up
and tried to smooth things over; he spoke
about the time honored custom, etc. “At
least,” said the cashier, “we shall require you
to put your name on the back of the notes."
“I shall do no such thing,” vociferated the
New Yorker. “I am solvent and entirely re-
sponsible; I shall not indorse your paper, and
(taking out his watch) unless you accept your
notes in fiveqninutes’time I shall send them
to protest.” This heroic treatment created a
great sensation in the sleepy old bank; but

Musicians in New York.
It is closely estimated that there are regu-
larly employed in the theatres during the
season about 500 orchestra. players, and in
the concert halls and museums 150 more.
Six hundred and fifty musicians who have
steady work at least eight months of the
year! A large number, it may seem to you,
but when you consider that there over 1,000
professional musicians, many of whom are as
proficient as the lucky 650, who are out of
regular employment and depend upon odd
jobs to scrape together money enough to keep
body and soul alive, the number is not so
large as it appeared at first.
The music business is played out in New
York. The market is overcrowded and
prices rule accordingly low. Why doesn’t
the union prevent this! How can it? I know
of inch in the union who are playing in
orchestras for $12 a week, when the union
priceis $17.50 with only one matinee—New

Coloring Wine by Berries.
The maqui is a small evergreen shrub, com-
mon in Chili along the course of torrents and
in shady, mountainous woods. It is not cul-
tivated, but grows wild, and the berries,
which in Chili are eaten either fresh or pre-
served, are now beginning to be exported
largely to Europe for the purpose of coloring
wines. In the three years ending 1887 the
exports were respectively as follows: 26,592
kilos, 136,026 and 431,392. To France alone
the exports during the some years were 500
kilos, 115,000 and 315,774. The consul general
has no statistics for 1888 and 1889, but pre-
sumes that the increase went on in the same
proportion. The berries are added to the
grapes in order to give the wine a. good color.
