TOE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY,. JDNE 29, 1894. LINCOLN'S PLUG HAT. A VERITABLE "JOINT OF STOVEPIPE" WITH ROMANTIC BRIM. CONCERNING DREAMS. It Served as a Tile Rack and at One Time Wu the FostofHce of New Salem Its Liveliest Experience Was When It Served as a Football For Ladies. There aro enongh of fanny incidents reported of Sir. Lincoln's hat to mako it "'fabled in song and illumined in story." For example, it served a9 a football on the nigbt of Li3 election to tho presidency, when the ladies at tho old homestead testified their glee over bis good fortune. The sceno would have 'done credit to the great game between Yale and Princeton on Manhattan field. This ia the etory as told by an eyewit ness: "A few of ns ladies went over and helped Mrs. Lincoln prepare a little sup per for the friends of Mr. Lincoln, who had been invited in to hear the returns. Every half hour or so we would pass around coffee and cakes. About 1 o'clock in the morning enough had been learned to warrant the belief that tho rail snlit- ter had been elected. I think it was , "-arcwy tail to require separate consia- They Occupy Only a Few Seconds and Are Affected by Event. Doctors assert that dreams occupy a few seconds only at most the space of ubout three minutes. This statement : ia startling to those who have not no ticed for themselves what part timo plays in such a connection. Tho writer : has had several opportunities of prov ing its correctness herself, and many : might arrive at a similar knowledge by I asking to be awakened a minute or so after fallin:,' into a first sleep. All who ! dream will do so immediately on fall ; ing into uiicc'iscionKness. Another reli j able test is to be found in tho sleep that follows upon the morning summons for rising. A few more moments snatched for the tempting after doze will not (in frequently mean a dream of a very elab orate nature one which implies almost as many hours as seconds. Are dreams affected by the events of our wakeful hours? is the question that has been asked ever and over again, but the result of observation leads one to be lieve in such being the case or not, ac coiding to tho importance with which we treat them. In connection with such a question events and individuals can when we heard tho news from New York. The men rushed on Mr. Lincoln and shook his bands, while some of the women actually hugged him,' and I might as well admit it I kissed him. i "Then seme one went into the hall ' and took from the rack the old silk hat that he wore, and which was as long as j a joint of stovepipe and about as shape- ; ly to my mind, and it was thrown up to j tho ceiling. As it came down some one gave it a kick, and then the women joined in the fun, and we played foot ball with that hat until it was an indis- ; tingoisbable mass. We were simply be- j yopd control. What a ridiculous scene j li wouiu nave ueen to one looking in without knowing what prompted it! "It was all the more so, so far as I was concerned, for originally I had been a Seward woman. While tho conven tion was in session in Chicago we were waiting to hear tho news. It had been arranged in case Lincoln received the nomination to fire a cannon. My near est neighbor was a Mrs. Dubois, with whom I had several friendly spats dur ing tho campaign preceding the nomi nation. 1 heard tho cannon shot, and the nest moment I saw Mrs. Dubois running across the street. Sho had been making a shirt for her husband, who was about the size of the late Judge Da eration. Events that aro all important to some do not commend themselves in that light to others, and this fact leads one to express the opinion that, accord ing to the intensity with which outward THE LAWYER OF TODAY. ' He Is Gradually Eccomlnj 3Ioro and S'ora of a Specialist. "There is a3 much learning hero ia the legal profession an ever, but . it is cot cn exhibition," said a Philadelphia lawyer. "In the fii-3t place, tho courts will not countenance its undue display. In old times an advocate was allowed great latitude. Formerly, in a case of damages caused by a neglected side walk, tho attorney weald be allowed to expound not only tho laws relating to damages for neglect, but he might BLray oil into the realms of medical jn rioprndenco at groat 1 jn-'ih. a-jrl cvon perorate with an alhif-iou to the Majnia Charta, tho constitution and the Amer ican eagle. At present a I.iwycr must conflno himself to the real merits of his case. The machinery of our courts has grown too costly to permit such waste of time. It follows that there is less oratorical skill displayed than in former days, especially at tho period when soma of our leading lawyers made a specialty of criminal defense. Now few lawyers of eminence, either in Philadelphia or the east generally, undertake tho de fense in a criminal case. "Today the practice of law, like other professions, is becoming more and more specialized. A law office is simply a business ofSce, as you may discover by visiting 6omo of tho handsomo new office buildings down town.

To another, the needful directions once given, there is an imme diate return to considerations which out weigh in her opinion tho more material ones that held a whilom nlace in her ! thoughts. In tho one case culinary fail I ures and visions of indifferent service j will probably haunt the dreams that precede or follow that entertainment, j In tho other no such tortures are in- volvcd in the sleeping hours. j There have been startling instances cf ; the brain's power tosoive difOcult qnts- tions dining sleep. A case in point is I that of a lawyer engaged iu a ciiminal lng office, and where a bookkeeper and casnier is employed to pay off clerks, typewriters and other employees. You will, howcver.still had veteran members of the bar pursuing old time methods in a cozy, quiet office, sitting at a baize cov ered table amid a wilderness of well thumbed books, They carry a dark green bag filled with brief;! when they go to court, precisely an all lav.-yera did 50 years ago, and as London barristers still do. "As to yonng lawyers, however tal ented they may be, if without social or political prestige, their straggle to ad vance in the profession is sr.ro to Lo a hard one. Practice new is often inher ited or transmitted in some other way. I could point out to yon in Philadelphia law firms that have been confined to the members of cue family or its collateral Tyndali'fi Imagination. This instructive imagination for we aro not concerned with more reminis cent imagination here resulting in the creatioua of the poet end there in tho dis coveries of tho man of science, is the highest of human faculties. With this faculty Professor Tycdall was largely endowed. In common with successful investigators in general, he displayed it in forming true conceptions of physical processes previously misinterpreted or uninterpreted, and again in conceiving modes by which the actual relations of the phenomena could Lo demonstrated, and again in devising fit appliances to thi3 end. Cut to a much greater extent than usual he displayed constructive imagination in other fields. Ho was an excellent expositor, and good exposition implies much construct ive imagination. A prerequisite is tho forming of tree ideas cf tho mental states of those wbjj are to bo taught, and a further prerequisite is the imagin ing of methods by which, beginning with conceptions they possess, there may bo built op in their minds the con ceptions they do not possess. Of con structive imagination as displayed in this sphere men at largo appear to b almost devoid, as witness tho absurd systems of teaching which in past times, and in large measure at present, have stupefied and still stupefy children by presenting abstract ideas before they have any concrete ideas from which they can bo drawn. Whether as lec turer or writer, Professor Tyndall care fully avoided this vicioQ3 practice.

When exercising the imaginative fa culties to any gieat extent, tho dreams will always preserve the ideal charac ter of the wakeful hours. The composer will dream of the melodies which pro vide his own lullaby when dropping into slumber, and the artist and the writer enter tho land of dreams in com pany with theso that tho pen or the I brush are guided to depict with such a loving hand. Plots have been furnished and subjects tor the canvas have been suggested over and over again in the quiet hours of the night, when -to all outward appearances there is nothing but the most peaceful slumber on the ! part of tho sleeper.

Ths good woman put her arms around me, begged my pardon and kissed me, and from that timo wo were Lincoln women. She took part in tho football match." As if not content with his C feet 4 or 5 inches of gaunt stature, Lincoln had hia now historic hat made fully a foot high, With a brim almost as big as a southern sombiero. It seemed to have been a combination of all styles then in existence, and in this respect it reflected his own early experience in having been a storekeeper, soldier, surveyor and finally a solicitor. It was a veritable "joint of stovepipe." and its remarka ble and romantic brim made it alike serviceable in rain or shine. It might have been called with propriety a "plug ogly," after the name cf tho mob in Baltimore that threatened him in his journey to the capital. During Lincoln's great debate with Douglas the hat fairly loomed into space. The smallness of the latter's stature caused him to be nicknamed "Tho Little Giant," and when Lincoln stood beside him with his hat on the difference between the two seemed all but immeasurable. Curiously enough, when Mr. Lincoln came to be inaugu rated at Washington and took off his fiat on the stand preparatory to making his inaugural address Douglas held the high hat so that no careless person might put hie foot in it. Representative Springer, who bails from Lincoln's old home, knew tho hat well, and in speaking of it recently said: "Mr. Lincoln's high hat was the most indispensable thing of his whole outfit. In it he carried all his valuable papers. In faf t,it was a sort of file rack. Here were ail the briefs of his various law cases. Curiously enough, he carried the accounts in his head, and that is why he lo3t so- much money. Had he re versed the process and kept his accounts in his hat and the cases in his head, he would have been better off. His hat served for his satchel on a journey, and all that was needed besides this were his saddlebags and his horse. It was large and capacious, and a great many documents and data could be crowded into it without seriously discommoding the wearer." But Mr. Lincoln had still a better use for hia valuable tile, which seems to have had more virtues than those re hearsed in the nursery tale of "Jack and the Beanstalk." When be was .post master at New Salem, his hat became a most important part of his office equip ment. .As soon as the mail .was received each day the young postmaster would put the letters in his hat and take a stroll through the village. The villa ger's knew that he was a peripatetic post office, and of course everybody was anxious to know the contents of the hat, which seemed to promise as much to them as a hat in the hands of a sleight of hand performer. Washington Cor. St. Louis Republic. "1 may say that there is an evident impetus to change many useless old le gal methods. The remark of' Lord Cole- ridge, when in this country, that there were many volumes of English legal de j cisions which it would do no harm to destroy, would answer ns the main spring of this impetus. Legislation is certainly advancing in this that mere ; ly experimental general laws are passed with greater difficulty than formerly." Another lawyer, older than the other, said: "Progress i:i tho legal profession? Progress is hardly a term to apply to law, for it is founded on precedents, sometimes tho older the better. For thi3 reason jurir.;prudciico is tho least pro gressive of tho sciences. Still thi.ro have been, no doubt, improvements in meth ods of practice, though I am not cinch of a code lawyer. I have had to study bard all my life. Tho younger lawyers appear to do littlo of that. They seem to believe, with Aaron Burr, that 'law is whatever is boldly advanced and plausibly maintained. ' " Philadelphia Record. -. Plucky Mrs. Bishop. Mrs. Isabella Bird Bishop, the dis tinguished traveler who has started upon another journey, although she is now 60 years old, is at present crossing this country on her way to Vancouver, whence she is to sail for Japan. Wheth er she goes farther will depend, npon her health. She owns a pretty cottage in Scotland, and there she spent last jummer and autumn in thoroughly mas tering the technique of photography in preparation for her jor. ey. She will now be able to illustrate her own books. Woman and Home. African Iiapoliitiucnts. As a contineut Africa is tho homo of a vigorous rat of mankind, which, while resisting assimilation with Euro pean civilization, defies permanent con quest. European travelers, traders, mis sionaries, conquerors, may at their will and at their pciil penetrate into this dark sanctuary, but their sojourn is for a day, and ou the morrow the faint traces of their passage are obliterated by the exuberant growths of barbarism. Grudgingly as it is sometimes conceded, it is nevertheless a fact that the bulk of the continent of Africa is still untouched by western civilization. I for one can not believe that Africa will ever be Europeanized or bzought within the palo of western progress, for in order that Africa may progress it is absolute ly essential that it be developed along natural lines, but as yet tho inherent powers of native genius have neither been discovered, nor in tho absence of any cohesion among native tribes and in Trained Xurfs Tho fashionable imxietus which it was expected tho patronage of tha Princess of Wales would give to tho occupation of trained musing iu England has hard ly been realized. It will undoubtedly receive a stimulant in the plan, of which word now comes from there, to have nursing lectures at fashionable houses to instruct the aristocratic pupils in the rudiments at least of caring for tho Bick. These "afternoons" are to bo illustrated with genuino hospital implements, including a patient, and, with tea and biscuits handed round, will take on as well an agreeable social tone. A story heard recently accentuates the need of all this. It was related of an English peeress, who, wishing to master tho duties of a trained nurse, procured admission to a hospital for such instruction. She proved an utterly hopeless pupil, and ut length it was deemed advisable to snz h; r to resign. Her martial tread through tho wards and t'cneral "htavinces" iu ail that Smolicless Fireplaces. Next to tho man who invented or dis covered firo, the greatest benefactor of the human raco will bo the man who abolishes smoke. Nothing elso will so chango tho conditions of lifo in our great cities. Without saying that this result is already at hand, a great step to ward it is mado by tho new invention in fireplaces. By this system a fire can undoubtedly bo produced without smoke, and though at present a special fireplace must be employed for the pur pose there is no reason why every one who henceforth fits up a kitchen range or a furnace should not have a smoke less one. I expect to see the timo when GVery householder a3 well as every man ufacturer will be compelled to consume hi3 own Smoke. In the meantime, how ever, there is the strongest inducement, short of compulsion, for doing so, for tho system, liko all which are based on perfecting the combustion of the fuel, gives a largely increased heat for a re duced consumption of coal.

A distinguished English scientist, Mr. William Kinnear, in a magazine article insists that the secret of perennial yonth is to be found in the uso of distilled water and phosphoric acid. He says that death, or disease that produces death, is caused by the deposit in the human system of calcareous or earthy matter, and that the drinking of dis tilled water, which is itself a great dis solvent, and tho use also of from 10 to 15 drops of diluted phosphoric acid in each tumblerful of water will remove such deposits and prolong human life to the very latest limit. In several of the great hotels in New York distilled water is provided at the table and for the nse of the guests in their rooms, and the advertisement of this fact attracts many patrons. Detroit Free Press, Aboat Gingerbread. The homely luxury, gingerbread, bas been popular ever since the fourteenth century. It was then made and' sold In Paris. In those days it was prepared with ryemeal made into a dough, and ginger and other spices, with sugar or honey, were kneaded into it. It was in troduced into England by the court of Henry IV for their festivals and was soon brought into general use, treacle being after a time employed in the manufacture instead of honey.

The early traditions concerning the city of Damascus are curious and inter esting, even though untrustworthy and contradictory. By some of the ancient writers it was maintained that the city stands on or near the site of the garden of Eden, and just outside there ia a beautiful meadow of red earth from which, it is said, God took the material from which ho created Adam. This field is called Ager Damascenus, and near its center there formerly stood a pillar which was said to mark tho pre cise spct where our first parent was cre ated. A few miles out there is an emi nence called the Mountain of Abel, sup posed by some to be the place whero tho first two brothers offered theiz sacri fices, also the spot where the first mur-i der was committed. The most interest ing spot pointed out, however, is about three leagues from the city, where an old ruin is shown which all the orient believe to be the tomb of Cain. The traditions respecting this famous spot are known to antedate the Christian era by several hundred years. Up to tb time cf Vespasian the interior of tne tomb is said to have been lighted and warmed by one of the "ever barring" lamps so commonly csed by the an cients. St. Louis Bepublic.
