H« Mad* It «W.> . ■ ■ "r"
It was the night of Lincoln's first
election, and the little frame home
of the Lineolns in Springfield, I1L, was
filled with friends and relatives, all
eager for some news of the election
results. The reports for awhile had
been coming in early and favorable,
but after awhile they began to be less
promising. Mrs. Lincoln had been by
her husband's side all day. He now
insisted that she retire. The crowd
gradually began to dwindle. Then
came the news that New York had
been carried, followed immediately by
the report that Lincoln had carried
the country. The rest of the story
w^uld be better told by the great man
himself.
"When there was no longer any
doubt or reason for doubt," he related
afterward, "i went up to my bedroom
and found my wife asleep. I gently
touched her shoulder and said, 'Mary!* j
She made no answer. I spoke again, |
a little louder, saying, 'Mary, Mary, we
are elected!'"—Brooklyn Eagle.
Slang at Annapolis.
For certain slang expressions used by
cadets I am Indebted to a member of
the corps. Frpm this future admiral I
learn that a "bird" or "wazzo" Is a
man or boy; that a "pap sheet" Is a re
port covering delinquencies and that to
"hit the pap" Is to be reported for de
linquency; that "steam" is marine en
gineering and to be "bilged for juice"
Is to fail in examinations in electrical
engineering; to get an "unsat" or un
satisfactory mark, or even a "zip" or
"swabo," which is a zero.
Cadets do not escort girls to dances,
but "drag" them; a girl Is a "drag,"
and a "heavy drag" or "brick" Is an un
attractive girl who must be taken to a
dance. A "sleuth" or "jlmmylegs" Is a
night watchman, and to be "ragged" Is
to be caught. Mess hall waiters are
sometimes called "mokes," while at
other times the names of certain exalt
ed dignitaries of the navy department
or of the academy are applied to them.
—Julian Street In Collier's Weekly.
Why We Walk In Our Sleep.
Roughly speaking, the mind is di
vided Into two parts. One controls the
actions of which we ar* conscious and
the other those which we do uncon
sciously. in the latter class are such
things as walking and breathing. So
that the second part of the mind works
equally as well whether its owner is
asleep or awake. When the body or
the other part of the mind is tired to
the point of exhaustion or is harried
by pnin the second part is liable to be
unduly acti^p. Then it Is that we are
most likely to walk or talk in our
sleep and have "nightmares." And be
cause the acutely conscious part of the
mind is dormant and not subject to
fears the sleep walker frequently trav
erses dangerous places unhurt—Den
ver News.
Drift From Country to City.
Some further statistics as to the
drift of population In this country from
the country to the city were presented
in a recent census bureau report Fig
ures show that this drift has now cov
ered a period of a century and a quar
ter, or from 1790 to the present time,
1790 being tho year in which the first
census of population was taken. Since
that time the drift has been practically
uninterrupted. In 1790 cities were ex
tremely rare in this country. Only one
had a population of more than 30,000.
This was New York city, which had at
that time 33,131 inhabitants. Next
came Philadelphia with 28,500, and
then Boston with 18,320. In the en
tire country there were only 3,929,214
people.—Literary Digest.
English Parliaments.
During Queen Victoria's reign eight
parliaments lasted over five years and
two over six years. The property qual
ifications considerably restrict the right
of suffrage, and only about one-sixth
of the people are voters. All clergy
men of the Church of England, minis
ters of the Church of Scotland and
Roman Catholic clergymen are dis
qualified from sitting as members of
the house of commons. This provi
sion applies only to tho clergy.
Package For Henry.
"Yes, Henry and I certainly possess
similar tastes!" exclaimed the adoring
bride. "We are surely interested In
the same things!"
"Yes," agreed Henry's mother-in-law
grimly, "you certainly are. You care
more for dear Henry than for any one
else In the world, and so does he!"—
New York Times.
Inconsistent.
"And you won't buy that antique
chair I got from you ten years ago?"
"No; it would be of little use to me
in its present condition.,"
"What do you mean? It's more an
tique than ever now."—Louisville Cou
rier-Journal.
Attention Wanted.
Little Lydia had been given a new
ring for her birthday, which none of
the guests at the dinner table had no

the obscurity any longer, she remark
ed, "Oh, dear, I'm bo warm in my new
ring!"—Exchange.
Trifle Slow.
"Does your husband never offer to
help you with the dishes?"
"Frequently, about the time I am
ready to hang up the dishpan."—Kan

Writing Made Easy.
Steadily the roads that lead to suc
cess in llteraturo are being made eas
ier, A good many people who would
like to write fiction, but have shrunk
from the labor of finding equivalents
for "said," will welcome a list of sub
stitutes for the necessary little word
published In the Boston Writer. There
are no less than 386 fairly satisfactory
variations, from "acceded" to "yowled."
The prisoner at the bar no longer
need say that he is Innocent. He can
babble It or bawl It or blurt It or
breathe It, to use but one letter of the
alphabet The vindictive district at
torney can bark his questions, the law
yer for the defense ican boom his ob
jections, the spectatc^i may either bris
tle their Indignant protest or blubber
their sympathy. But the merit of such a
list is not simply that It facilitates the
management of dialogue. A thorough
study of the 885 substitutes for "said"
will easily suggest the plot and the
characterization that must precede dia
logue. The letter C In Itself is a com
pendium of plot and a gallery of por
traits. Given somebody who cachl
nates, another who chuckles, another
who coos, another who croons, an
other who challenges, another who con
fesses and minor characters who cry,
croak, commune and cut In, and it la
plain that we have a scenario almost
ready made—New York Post
Wonderful Carving.
Dr. Peter Oliver, who lived In Eng
land during the early part of the eight
eenth century, tells of seeing a carved
cherry stone which would bo a wonder
even in this age of fine tools and fine
workmanship. The stone was one
from a common cherry, and upon it
were carved the heads of 124 popes,
kings, queens, emperors, saints, etc.
Small as they must necessarily have
been, it is announced on the authority
of Professor Oliver that with a good
glass the heads of the popes and kings
could readily bo distinguished from
those of the queens and saints by their'
miters and crowns. The gentleman
who brought this little wonder to Eng
land purchased It in Prussia, allowing
the original owner £5,000 for his treas
ure. Think of it—$25,000 for a cherry
seed!
Something In This.
"You women are always spending
money for preparations to make your
selves better looking," growled Mr.
Twobble.
"I guess that's true, my dear," re
plied Mrs. Twobble sweetly.
"Now, you hardly ever see a man
doing that."
"No, because ninety-nine out of a
hundred realize that the quest of beau
ty 1s hopeless."—Birmingham Age-Her
ald.
Old Time Prices.
When wo are told that 100 years ago
a dollar bought ten dozen eggs or three
bushels of potatoes we picture to our
selves a perfect state of society. Then
we learn that the same dollar paid a
man for two days' hard work on the
farm, and wo realize that the former
generation had Its own problems.—
Youth's Companion.
Great Coal Seam.
Beneath the city of Sydney, New
South Wales, is a vast coal seam
which extends 100 miles north and the
samo distance in a westerly and south
erly direction. The seam varies from
four to thirty feet, and the depth runs
from the surface outcrop to 2,000 feet
deep.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Pimples.
The story of pimples and how
not to have them 13 a short one
to relate, but to put Into prac
tice and accomplish results is
quite another story. It is diffi
cult, first, because people who
have pimples want to get rid of
them without paying the price
of removing the cause. They
want to get something for noth
ing and would rather spend sums
of money to have them removed
with nasty medicine, if it were
possible, than go about It in
the only natural and possible
way. Another reason why It is
difficult for most people to re
move pimples Is that it demands
a change of not a few of their
living habits—the eating of can
dles, meats and heavy foods
without drinking sufficient wa
ter and taking plenty of exer
cise. In other words, they would
rather eat candy and loll around
with pimples than word hard,
get sweaty perhaps and keep
the skin rubbed clean. Pimples
have rightly been called Indi
gestion bumps. They follow the
eating of rich, heavy foods and
sweets and are an Indication of
an inactive life pins an indul
gent appetite.
