IN connection with the celebration of
Lincoln's birthday it will not be out of
place to reproduce from the New York
Herald a part of the description of his
assassination given by the poet, Walt
Whitman, who was present in Ford's
Theater when the foul deed was done:
"There Is a scene in the piny ('Our
American Cousin') representiiiK a modern
parlor, in which two unprecedented Kn
lish ladies ore informed by an impossible
Yankee that he is not a man of fortune,
and, therefore, undesirable for mnrriapte
catching purposes; after which, the com
ments being finished, the dramatic trio
make exit, leaving the stage clear for a
moment.
"At this period came the murder of
Abraham Lincoln. Great as was all its
manifold train circling round it, ami
stretching into the future for many a cen
tury, in the politics, history, art, etc., of
the New World in point of fact the main
thing, the actual murder, transpired with
the quiet nnd simplicity of any commonest
occurrence the bursting of a bud or pod
In the growth of vegetation, for Instance.
"Through the general hum following
the stnge pause, with the change of po
sition, came the niullled sound of a pistol
shot, which not one-hundredth part of
the audience heard at the time, and yet
a moment's hush, somehow, surely a
vague startled thrill, and then, through
the ornamented, drnperied, stnrred and
striped space way of the President's box,
a sudden figure, a man raises himself
with bands nnd feet, stands a moment on
the railing, leaps below to the stnge, a
distance of perhaps fourteen or fifteen
feet, falls out of position, cntching his
boot heel hi the copious drapery the
American flag falls on one knee, quickly
recovers himself, rises ns if nothing hnd
happened (he really sprained his ankle,
but unfelt then).
"And so the figure, Booth, the murder
er, dressed in plain blnck broadcloth, bare
beaded, with full glossy, raven hair, nnd
night before enough had been learned to
warrant the belief that our candidate had
been elected. We went nearly wild with
joy, and congratulated Mr. Lincoln most
heartily.
Someone saw the famous "stovepipe"
in the hall, and, seizing it, threw it up to
the ceiling. Another caught it, and then
It went the rounds till it fell to the floor,
when one gnve it a kick, and then an
other, nnd another gave the hat a send-
off, until it was so battered that it hnd
lost all resemblance to its original shape.
Mr. Lincoln looked on and smiled good
naturedly at the childish performance,
l'hiludelphin Iiecord.

It has never been satisfactorily explain
ed why the 14th of February is called St.
Valentine's Day. It has been ascribed as
being named after Valentine, who suffer
ed martyrdom ns a presbyter of the
church, under Claudius, aliout 270, but
nowhere in the history of his life enn there
be found the least incident connected with
him that could possibly have given rise
to the practice of that day, unless as some
authorities claim, Valentine being a man
possessed of great love and charity, his
name was thus honored and revered, but
this idea does not seem plausible.
Some authorities have given the suppo
sition credence that It Is possibly deriv
ed from the custom practiced by the an
cient Church of Home, to choose on this
day patrons for the ensuing year, and
wns perhaps taken up by gallantry after
it was dropped by Compulsion by the sup
erstitious at the reformation, for since
LINCOLN AS A DOORKEEPER.
How Abe Pinned on the Badge and
Did Duty for a Time.
James Klter Is one of the olde doop
keepers in the War Department at SVaslv
ington, and has been stationed at the
Seventeenth street entrance of the Win
der Building for many years, occupying
a chair in which President Lincoln sat
while he acted as doorkeeper in place of
Mr. Elter. Speaking of the incident, Mr.
Elter said;
"One day a tall, lank gentleman came
to the entrance and asked me if the Sec
retary was in, and I told him no, that it
was too early for him. lie then asked at
what hour he would be likely to find him,
nnd I told him. With a pleasant 'Thank
you' (something we don't always get) he
walked away. At the hour I told him the
Secretary would be in he again walked
up the steps and asked mo if I would not
go to the Secretary's room and tell him
that be wished to see him. I told him I
cojild not leave my post.
" 'Oh, that is all right. I am Mr. Lin
coln, and I will keep door while you de
liver my message. Tell him that I want
to see him here in the lower ball.' With
this the President unpinned my badge,
stuck it in his own coat, and took my
chair. I hastened to the Secretary's
room, and soon the two were together
near me, but in quiet and earnest tnlK.
I never did know why Mr. Lincoln did
not want to go to the Secretary's room,
but I know that I prize this chair. 1
call it Abe Lincoln. No doubt that was
the only time a President ever acted as q
doorkeeper."

Friends behind you and friends before
Surging In shouts to the schoolliouse door
Homely and happy, and shabby and proud,
The laughing queen of the chattering crowd.
Wise little maid of the hundred friends.
Cheerily taking what fortune sends.
Your nose Is snub and your mouth Is wide

And I'd like you, please, for uiy valentine.

More than 200 Rattlers Killed
Mowing Machine.
It is not necessary to go to the far
West or South for up-to-date snake
stories. One which Is vouched i for
by reliable New York farmers comes
from Hancock, Delaware County, and
is made public by the Walton Report
er. Joseph Darrow, says this truthful
newspaper, has a farm just below Hau
cock village, lie employs as a farm
hand Henry Vail. Henry is a native
and to the manor born. He is not the
least bit afraid of snakes, but since his
experience of last vveek he has more
respect for tha reptiles that he had be
fore. After earing his dinner Friday he
hitched up the team and started mow
ing around a mendow about sixty rods
from the barn. It was a terribl) hot
day. The thermometer stood ninety In
the shade and aoi-nt two hundred in
the sun. Henry had mowed about half
a dozen times around the place, his
horses taking a slow, steady gait, when
all at once they pricked up their ears,
and with a terrific snort sprang for
ward, throwing him from the machine.
The same Instant the knives stuck In
to a squirming, writhing -ball of rat
tlesnakes, rolled tightly together and
as large as a bushel basket.
The horses started full speed for the
barn, and the heads and rattles flew
in all directions. The horses, the mow
ing machine and the ground behind it
were covered with snakes. Henry leap
ed to his feet as he struck the ground,
and, seizing a stick, whacked right and
left for his life. Wherever he struck
he could hot fail to hit a snake. He
waded through the myriad of squirm
ing serpents working his stick like a
flail on a thrashing floor until he clear
ed the hissing mass, and then he ran
with all the speed he could muster for
the barn, which the horses had already
reached.
The team were none the worse for
the run, though it took some time to
get the machine righted. It was liter
ally "covered with ground rattlesnakes.
The heads and bodies of twenty-six
rattlesnakes were counted, and Henry
estimates that there must have been
two hundred In the nest.
The next day thirty rattlers were
killed up Gee Brook, about four miles
from the village, and a big one on
Beers' flat, near where Vail had his encounter.

I'outbiill with Lincoln's Hat.
The favorite hut worn by Abruham
Lincoln was a tall "stovepipe." It has
been described ns a foot high, with a brim
almost as wide as a Southern sombrero.
Many anecdotes are connected with that
famous tall hat. In It Mr. Lincoln car
ried many valuable papers, the briefs of
his law cases, and other documents.
On the night of Mr, Lincoln's election
, the nrcsldencr several ladles who hnd
irnihered at the old homestead at Spring
Held testilied their gleo by using the hat
US IL f out Lull.
A few of us went over to nssist Mrs.
Lincoln about the supiht which was to
lie given some gentlemen who had come
tu to hear the returns. It waa afUr nud-
thnt time the custom of choosing valen
tines was a sport practiced by the Eng
lish gentry as early as 1470 in their homes,
but ns all this is an uncertainty, we nre
left in the dark as to the true origin nnd
purpose of St. Valentine's Day.
"It is a ceremony," said Hourne, "nev
er omitted among the vulgar to draw lots,
which tney term valentines, on the eve
before Valentine Day. The names of a
select number of the sex are, by an equal
number of another, put In some vessel;
and after that everyone draws a name,
which for the present is called their val
entine, and is looked upon as a good omen
of their being man and wife afterwards."
Iu some places, we are told, the cus
tom was considered heathenish, and to
abolish it the names of certain saints
were written in billets and given, and this
may have been 'the true reason why Val
entine was chosen to Ik; the saint for that
day, but why the practice of sending or
choosing valentines wns any more heath
enish than many another custom is not
clear. They were all foolish, supersti
tious pastimes.
In lull sport was Indulged in during
the month of February, when the girls
burned a figure which they stole from
the boys, nnd which they called "A Holly
Hoy," nnd the boys stole ti figure from
the girls which they burned, calling it an
'lvy-(iirl."
It is altogether probable that the cus
tom of sending written love messages on
that dny originated at the time of (Jueen
( iitherine, consort of Henry IV when
I.y.dguto, the Monk of Hury, wrote the
following lines in praise of the queen:

Poverty and Desolation Wafted on the
Fuinous ISuby,
Abraham Lincoln, the great wnr Presi
dent, was horn in Larue (then Hardin)
County, Keutucky, in a rude little log
cabin, says St. Nicholas. This cabin has
recently been restored and so far us pos
sible made exactly as it was eighty-eight
years ago, when a little baby boy was
born to Thomas and Nancy Lincoln, or
"Llnkhoru," as the name was then spell
edhumble "settlers," wlnJ had moved
to the neighborhood from Washington
County four years before.
The few living people who remember
Thomas Lincoln, the father, say that he
was n rather Improvident man, not work
ing long at any one thing. He wns a
hard worker, but was n poor manager, and
the little family was often without more
than the simplest necessaries of life.
Thomas Lincolu cleared a few acres
around his cabin nnd raised a small crop
of corn nnd grain. Then he became a car
penter and tinker, working at such oild
jobs as he could find among the pioneer
neighbor. He was away at work at the
time Abraham was born.
The neighbors heard that Mrs. Lincoln
was in the cabin all alone with the little
baby and had little to eat except corn
and potatoes. They nt once visited the
Lincolu cabin, taking such delicacies as
their houses afforded. The father return
ed in a few days and the baby wns named
Abraham Lincoln, after his grandfather,
who had been killed by the Indians when
Thomus Lincoln was a little boy.

St. Valentine's teu niny be easily
made a very charming little festivity. The
guests should consist of a few bright
young people, and the whole affair should
be conducted in a spirit of fun nnd In
formality. A sentlineiitnl quotation should
be written on the mime card at each plate,
taking care that it has some appropriate
ness to the guest. The prevailing colors
In ttowers or other table decoration should
lie pink and white. All the dishes should
be suitable to the occasion, nt least in
name, nnd each one accompanied by a
suggestive couplet, to be road aloud b.
the server.

Semitmrburoua Thibetans Knew Some
thing About Compressed Air,
It has been less than 10 years since
civilized humanity used many odd de
vices for the purpose of obtaining tire.
In this country, then claiming to be
"enlightened," the tinder box, with
Bteel and flint, was the apparatus most
generally used. However, If there was
no tinder box In the house, the old
flintlock musket, with a few grains of
powder In the pan, together with n few
shreds of paper or greased rags, was
considered a household necessity. Rub
bing sticks together until they were
fired by frlctlou was the method used
by the snvnges of that time In nearly
nil the lauds of the globe. There was
one singular exception, however, to all
of the above, ns well as many other of
the more common methods of "striking
light," nnd that method was practiced
by a rude tribe of semlsavages inhabit
ing eastern Thibet. Curious ns It may
seem, these rude savages obtained lire
on strictly scientific principles, which
Involved a wonderful knowledge of
compressed air.
The apparatus! used consisted of a
wooden cylinder two and one-half
Inches long by three-quarters of an
Inch In diameter, which was closed at
one end. Into this cylinder (which ta
pered off at one end until It was not
larger than a common lead pencil) was
fitted an alr-tlght piston, which bad n
large flat knob at the top; the other
end of the piston was slightly hollowed
out, the Indentation being Intended for
the reception of a small piece of tinder
or "punk." When this apparatus wns
In use It was held In one hand, the pis
ton being Inserted with the other and
pushed about half way down. A very
sharp blow wns theu given with the
palm ou the piston. At the same in
stant the fingers were closed nround
the knob and the piston Instantly with
drawn. If everything had worked to
perfection the scientific snvage was
usually rewarded by finding that the
tinder had been lighted and a fire as
sured. Sir William Gill, the English
scientist, who Investigated this queer
mode of strlklug a light, says that "it
requires skill to use this fire-producing
apparatus, as well ns science to in
vent It." Sau Francisco Chronicle.
