Smut in corn is fast becoming a pre

LINCOLN'? CAREER.
Tha Thru, Principal Period of t'.ta Great
ntatearaan'a l.tfa.
We shall see In the course of the
present work how the life of Abraham
Lincoln divides Itself Into throe princi
pal periods, with eorresponding stages
of his intellectual development; t he first,
of about forty years, ending with his
term iu Congress; the second, of about
ten years, concluding with Ids final
campaign of political sjieech-maklng in
New York and New Lngland, shortly
Is-fore the Presidential nominations of
18(0; and the last of about five years.
terminating at his death. We have
thus far traced his career through the
3rst iieiiod of forty years. In the sev
eral stage, of frontier experience
through which he hail passed, and
which in the main but repeated the
trials and vicissitude of thousands
of other boys and youths in
the West, only so much individuality
had been developed iu hun as brought
him into tho leading class of his eon
temporaries. He had risen from
lalnircr to student, from clerk to law-:
ver, from politician to legislator.
That he had lifted himself by
healthy Ambition and unaided in-
dustir out of the station of a farm
hand, whose routine life begins and
ends in a bark-woods log-cabin, to that
representative character and authority
which seated him in the National Cap-
itel to aid in framing laws for lus coun
try, was already an achievement
that may well ls held honorably to
crown a career of forty years.
' Such achievement ami such distinc
tion, however, wt re not so uncommon
as to appear phenomenal. Hundreds
of other boys, Imni In log-cabins, had
won similar elevation in the many,
practical schools of Western public life.
Even in ordinary times there still re
mained within the reach of average In
tellects several higher grades of public
service. It is quito probable that the
superior talents of Lincoln would have
made him Governor of Illinois or given
him a term in the Lnited States isonate.
But the story of his life would not have
Commanded, as it now does, the un
flagging attention of postoriiy had
there not fallen upon his generation
the usual conditions and opportunities
brought abont by a series of re
markable convulsions In National poli
tics. If we would correctly understand
how Uncoln became, first n eonspicii
ous actor, and then a chosen leader, in
a great strife of National parties for
supremacy and power, we must briefly
study the migin and development of
the great slavery controversy in Amer
ican legislation which found its high
est activity and decisive culmination i
the single decade from 1-S50 to lUfiO.
We should greatly err, however, if we
attribntiMl the new events in Lincoln's
career to the caprice of fortune. The
conditions and opport unities of which
we speak were broadly National, and
open to all without restriction of rank
or locality. Many of his contempora
ries had seemingly overshadowing ad
vantages, by prominence and training,
to seize and appropriate them to their
own advancement. It is precisely this
careful stndv of the time which shows
by what inevitable process of se-
lection honors and labors of which ho
did not dream fell upon him; how, in
deed, it was not the individual who
gained the prize, but the paramount
duty yvhich claimed tho man. Sieolaj

Z3 WONDERFUL TOWERS
oma of tha Moat ItataarkaMe Mructures
ot tha Kind tn tha World.
The ancient city of Pisa. Italy, Is fa
mous for Its lofty and magnificent
structures, Rome of which have Very in
teresting stories. None of them, how
ever, is so wonderful as the celebrated
leaning tower. This building was
commenced in 1174 by a Pisan archi
tect, named Bon aim a, by William of
Iniispruck. It Is of cylindrical form.
one hundred ana, seventy-inno leei
high, fifty feet in diameter, and leans
twelve feet nine Inches from the ier
pendicular. It consists of eight stories.
each of which has an outside gallery
projecting from it. From the summit.
which is reached by several hundred
steps, a beautiful and extensive view
may I e had of the surrounding coun
try. The misconstruction was discov
ered before the tower was finished, and
the upper tiers yvere so shaped as to
partly counteract the areutation. At
the top of the tower seven immense
bells were so placed, as by their
eight, to counterbalance the leaning
of the tower.
The highest tower In the world Is at
Cremona, in Northern Italy, It is three
hundred and ninety-six feet high. It
was begun in 1223, and the bells which
are in it were cast in 1678. An astro
nomical clock, made in the year 1.094,
Is placed in the third story.
The i lorentine campanile was com
menced in 1334. by Giotto, the great
painter, architect and scn'ptor. He
commenced the erection of the tower
with the determination to surpass all
th ancient structurei of this kind, both
in height antl in rit4mess of design.
But Giotto, having died in 1336, the
tower was completed by Taddeo Gaddi,
Its height is two hundred and seventy
sis feet, and it is divided into four tiers.
It is of equal dimensions from bottom
to top, and is built on the Italian Goth
ic style. On the basement floor there
are two rows of tablets in relief; they
are the work of Giotto. There arc also
many beautiful statues on the upper
tier. It w as the original design of
Giotto to have a fpire surmount the
present tower, and the columns which
were to support it may still be seen on
the Uip of the building.
The famous tower known asGiralda,
is situated at Seville, Spain, 'lids tower
when originally built by Phillip Gue
vara, the Moor, was only two hundred
and fifty feet high. But in 1568 a mag
nificent lielfry one hundred feet hij;h
was added, and it is now the scco d
highest in the world.
The campanile was called Giralia.
because of the brazen weathercock in
ita top storv. Although the figure
weighs a ton and a half, it Is easily
turned by the wind. It is said that a
very fine campanile was situated at
Salisbury, England. It is supposed to
have been two hundred feet high, and
was probably- destroj etl by Sir Thomas
Wyatt. the younger, white leading an
insurrectionary mob. Louisville (Ay.)

Some -Mitigating Circumstances.
"See here, Jones, I want to talk to
you a moment," said an Austin philan
thropist; "don't you know yon are not
doing your duty by your children in not
sending them to school? That's not
the way a fond father should treat his
ehi dreri."
"Well, now, I don't know about that,"
replied Jones. "I don't believe you
fully realize what you are talking about.
Now, I have a brother whose oldest son
was sent up for two years for horse
stealing, and the judge, in sentencing
him, said that his ignorance and lack of
early education were strong mitigating
circumstances in the case; and instead
of making the sentence ten years, which
he would have done had the boy never

Toothsome Boiled Bread.
A writer in a housekeeping journal
affirms that bread can be boiled instead
of baking it and with far less heat of the
range. The new method consists
mainly in steaming the dough instead
of cooking it in the oven. It is claimed
that this is a great invention, as it
saves the time and experience neces
sary to get the oven to the right heat
for baking, which has always proved
the great obstacle to baking at home.
The utensils required are simply these:
First a tin mould, or camp-kettle, in
which the dough is placed after it has
been mixed with the usual ingredients
water, yeast, sugar and suit and
secondly, a larger tin saucepan, into
which the mould fits. The waU'r in the
outer saucepan is allowed to boil aronnd
the tin mould for two or three hours,
the lids of both utensils being kept
closely elown and at the end of that
time the loaf may be turned out. It
will be found firm, solid and palatable,
with all the qualities of good bread.
