In "The Everyday Life of Abra ham Lincoln" Mr. F. F. Browne In cludes an amusing uneedote told by Admiral Porter about tbe president's abort visit to tbe front In tbe latter part of March, 1S00. Mr. Lincoln had changed bis quarters from tbe River Queen to tbe Malvern, Admiral Por ter's flagship, which was then lying in the James river, near City Point. Ad miral Porter says: Tbe Malvern was a small vessel with very poor cabin accommodations and was not at all fitted to receive high personages. She was a captured block ade runner. I offered the president my bed, but he positively declined it and chose to sleep in a small stateroom outside the cabin that my secretary occupied. It was only C feet long by J1 feet wide, a very tiny place to hold the president of the .United States, but Mr. Lincoln seemed pleased with it. When be came to breakfast the next morning I asked how be bad slept. "I slept well," be answered, "but you can't put a long sword in a short scabbard. I was too long for that berth." Then 1 remembered that be was over six feet four inches and that the berth was only six feet! That day while we were away from the ship all the carpenters were put to work. They took down the stateroom partitions and enlarged tbe room to eight feet by sis and n half feet. A mattress four feet wide was put in the new berth. Nothing was said to the president about the-cbange in bis quarters, but the next morning be came out of the room smiling and said, "A miracle happened last night. I shrank six inches in length and about a foot side ways, I got somebody else's big pil low and slept in a better bed than I bad on the River Queen." He enjoyed It greatly, but I think if I had given him two fence rails to sleep on be would not have found fault. That was Abraham Lincoln In all things that related to bis own comfort He would never let you put yourself out for him under any circumstances. A NAVAL COMEDY. Surrender of the Spanish Gunboat Cat lao at Manila. On the afternoon of the 12th (May 12. 1S98) a small Spanish gunboat came steaming up Manila bay, directly toward the American fleet. The sur prise of the people in the fleet was great; this little vessel seemed so con fident and friendly. Finally one of our ships fired a shot across her bow. This did not seem to make any differ ence to her, for she kept on just the same. Then we saw an officer go alongside from the flagship. We found out that evening that this vessel was the Spanish gunboat Cul lao and that she had been cruising In the southern part of the Philippines for a long time and had not beard about tbe war, and, the time of her cruise being finished, she was now re turning to Manila. The officers and men had been looking forward to this for a long time, because in Manila they were to find their wives, children, parents, friends, theaters, clubs, ho tels, newspapers and all tbe .things Camas Prairie SMART NEW FINISH TAFFETAS TUNIC Thl dress may be made In size J J, with l yard of brocaded material and S yard of contraating material for the bodice.

Hut when the second shot was fired and they heard the wMz.ling of the shell they knew something was wrong. And when the American officer came on board and told them that every ship in the fleet was destroyed and that they themselves were prisoners of war their feelings of Joyful hope went through a change that, let us hope, few of us will ever know.

Everybody weighs more ut the sui tice of the earth than It can at any itber point. Its weight diminishes as It is removed above the surface or be low it. As it rises from the surface Its weight decreases In inverse ratio to the squares of the distances from the center of the earth. As it descends below tbe surface its weight decreases directly ns the distance from tbe cen ter of the earth. Thus a body weighing 100 pounds at the surface of the earth, which Is ap proximately 4,000 miles from the cen ter, would weigh only twenty-five pounds nt point 4,000 miles high. At twice the distance it has one-quarter the weight. If we drop the same body half the distance to the center of the earth or to a point approximately 2,000 miles below the surface it will weigh fifty pounds. The reason for this is that at 2,000 miles from the center the body is on the surface of a sphere of 2,000 miles' radius. What causes weight Is the mass of matter combined with distance from the center. A globe of 2,000 miles' radius contains one-eighth as much matter as a globe of 4,000 miles' ra dius, the size of the earth; therefore only one-eighth us much matter at tracts tbe body, which, if mass were the only factor, would at 2,000 miles from the center weigh one-eighth as much ns at the surface of the earth. But it is also only half as far from the center ns it was at the surface and, if distance were the only factor, would weigh four times as much as on the surface. Four times one-eighth is one half; therefore it weighs half what it would at the surface. Now, suppose we drop this body to the very center of the earth and see what it would weigh. All the matter of the earth Is now outside it and can exercise no attraction whatever upon it; therefore it weighs nothing at all. New York World. DISCIPLINE AT SEA. Penaltiea and Privileges Aboard Ship In Former Days. Some remarkable advice to seafurers Is given in an old Portuguese book pub lished for tbe guidance of mariners. Among other things it deals with the rights of captains to assault sailors and the methods in which the attacks are to be legally met. The sailor was advised to bearcnlmly any verbal abuse that an Irate skipper may hurl at blm, but if words passed to blows he was to run away into the bows and firmly take his stand beside the anchor chain. Should an Infuriated master armed with a belaying pin or other lethal weapon chase blm to bis stronghold the mariner was to slip round to the farther side of the chain. Should he still be pursued he was to call bis messmates to witness that the master had broken tbe rules by circumventing the chain. Then nt last he was to defend him self, and let us hope be would do It well. Other little matters of discipline 8147 la developed in one of the fash ionable silk crepes which Is so well suited to the pannier and puffs of the moment In this frock we have the flaring collar and the pani.lered hip.

The ship's clerk, a privileged person who acted as bookkeeper, purser and cargo master, was liable to be branded in the forehead, to lose bis right hand and to forfeit all of his property if he made a wrong entry In the ship's book or conuived nt such an entry. A seaman who fell asleep on bis watch was only put on a diet of bread and water unless the offense was com mitted In hostile waters. In that caso he must be stripped naked, flogged by his messmates and ducked thrice in the sea. If he were an officer, however, he would only lose all food except his bread and have a pall of water flung over from the head downward. Lon don Tit-Bits. Literary and Musical Pillage. Bernard Shaw's defense of literary "pillage" was anticipated by bis follow countryman, Balfe, the composer or "The Bohemian Girl," who used to borrow generously from other people's scores. On one occasion, the London Express recalls, he was rehearsing a new opera at Dniry Lane and the first fiddle, an Italian, was horrified to come upon page after page of familiar music. "Mr. Balfe.

Spitfire, Mistress Day, Earned the Right to Her Title and to Fame. The last battle of the Revolution was not st Yorktown, nor was it any of the many small skirmishes that occurred nfter the surrender of Coruwallls and before the formal declaration of peace In 17.N1. The last battle was of the na ture of a duel, and It hapiiened on the day the British evacuated New York. The great day that was to see the last of King George Ul.'a regiments leave these shores finally arrived. The British army was to board the ships that lay in the harbor. Washington and his troops were waiting at Kings bridge and McGowau's pass to take possession of the city Iminedately on their departure. Major William Cunningham, the British provost marshal and command er of the prison on the common, gave one last look about bis office, tossed the key on the table and went out Into the sunlight, slamming the door behind blm with much unnecessary violence. H.j Infamous relgu was over. There were few forms of cruel ty that he bad hesitated to practice on the luckless Continental prisoners In bis charge. Among the mildest were the contamination of their drinking water by throwing rubbish Into the well and the appropriation and sale of their rations for his owu profit The friends and relatives of bis vic tims were flocking back to the city tri umphant, and It behooved Major Cun ningham not to linger. So be left the prison, turned into tbe common, and crossed It to gain Broadway, lie strode along muttering curses under bis breath. At the corner of Broad way and Murray street something caught bis eye. He stopped, hesitated, then turned aside and hastened down Murray street. "What audacity! What monstrous audacity:" he thought. But It was like that rebel spitfire, Mistress Day. Ho would teach her one final lesson. He reached the Day house, which wns a tavern near Greenwich street, opened the gate and shook his fist at tho Stars and Stripes that fluttered from a tall flagpole, as If waving a triumphant welcome to the Continental troops. Wrathfully he seized the halyards and began to pull the flag down thu pole. There was something about tho action that soothed his rullled feelings. He would at least take back to Eug land with blm one captured rebel ban nor. But be bad reckoned without Mistress Day! From her kitchen that patriotic wo mau heard the creaking of the pulley ou her flagstaff. She tiptoed to her front windows and peeped out. She knew the major only too well, and she determined to prevent this final out rage. She flew back to the kitchen and In the meantime, with bis bat k to I tbe house, the major was hauling away vigorously. A few more Jerks and tho flag would be within his grasp. Bang! His hat suddenly flew off and weut scuttling down the yard. In bis as touishment be continued to pull me chanically ou tho halyards. Bang, whack! The major saw many times more than thirteen stars, and tho pow der flew from his wig lu all directions. He dropped the rope and turned about, purple with Indignation. "Woman, do you realize what you are doing?" h: roared. The broom stick was In tbe air again, and the major dodged. Whack! It struck blm squarely across the bridge of bis nose, and tbe field at once became ensan guined. The bleeding officer now began to take hasty counsel with himself. He was late for the embarkation, the American troops would soon be upon the ground, his hat had received an Ir reparable dent, his wig was In the wildest disorder, his regimentals were stained with marks of the bloody af fray, his bead was yet spinning from contact with Mistress Day's weapon, and there were unmlstaknblo signs that Mistress Day's arm was by no means wenry! Some warning bugle notes from the Battery decided the matter. He turned about and strode off, picking up his damaged headgear ou the way. Mistress Day, sinning contentedly, returned to her kitchen to continue tbe baking and brewing for the evening festival. It took the major some time to re move tbe evidences of conflict before be appeared at the Battery. He must have been hard put to it to explain his lateness and his disheveled state to his superior officer. His career after bis return to England continued to be dis reputable. He was executed for for gery eight years after he left New York. As for Mistress Day, the wo man who flow the first American flag In the evacuated city and who fought and won the last conflict of the Revo lution, she deserves a wider fame than she has enjoyed.

"frer on that Hoiint klmttlf skill U kumblrd; nd k that kumblrtk ktmtlf tkall bt traltl."V. II. CODAY'S lesson shows tbe Mas ter as a guest of a prominent Pharisee, and speaking hi a manner Inappropriate to any but ntmself. In a parable He criti cised the gathering guests because they selfishly chose the chief seats of hon or. He would have them see that this selfish spirit bad to do with their character-building and their fitness or un fitness for the Kingdom. When bidden to a function, they should humbly take Inconspicuous places, not know lug how many might 1 more worthy than they lu the estimation of the host. Then, If the host so de sired, be might ask them forward to a more promi nent seat. Thus they would lie honored; whereas, lu taking a proml tieut place unln- i i t Jem rrprortng flkn(. vlted, they ran the risk of displeasing the host. The Master declared that this prlncl pie held with the Heavenly Father; namely, "Whosoever exalteth himself shall be bumbled; and he that hum bleth himself shall be exalted." The thought is that the self-seeking, the proud iu spirit, could not be trusted by the Lord In a high position. With such a spirit they might do damage to them selves and to Ills Cause. But those of bumble mind would not lie Injured by exaltation nor be In danger of de flecting In the future work of the Kingdom. Turning to His host, Jesus compli mented him somewhat, saying. "When thou inakest n feast, call the poor, the maimed, tbe lame, the blind: and thou shalt be blessed; for thou shalt be recomiensed In the resurrection of the Just." The Pharisee bad done something of tho very kind in Inviting Jesus anil probably Ills disciples to dinner. He well knew that they could not ask him In return. Tho Master's words set forth a grand principle, which should be recognized by rich and poor alike. Let us follow the Master's Instruction, and seek to do kindnesses to those who cannot return the favor, assured that God will appreciate such acts and will give proper reward. God's Great Fesst. A guest, hearing Jesus' comments, remarked that It would be a blessed thing to share In tho great feast which will inaugurate the Kingdom of God. Thereupon Jesus preached another purable-sermou lu respect to the King dom. A mau made a great supper nnd bade ninny guests. When the time arrived, be sent servants to Inform them that all was ready. But with one accord they began to make excuse. When tbe servants returned nnd told their experience, the master was provoked and said. Go quickly into the streets and the lanes, ami bring iu the poor, the maimed, the blind and the lame. The meaning of the parable is ap parent. Long years before, God had sent word to Israel that In due time a great blessing would be open to them the privilege of membership in Mes slab's Kingdom. Yet, when the time came, those who had been blddeu were careless. Jesus and Ills disciples bad been declaring for some time thut the Kingdom of Heaven was at band. But those Invited were lull, covetous, money lovers. When they heard tho Message of the Kingdom, they slighted God's invitation. extended them through Jesus and the Apostles. Tho great feast represented rich blessings of God's providence for the Church-knowledge of the Truth, jus tiflcntion from sin, begetting of the Holy Spirit, the privilege of appro priating the rich promises of God's Word. First the Pharisees, repre sentatives ot Moses, nnd sec ondly the outcasts of Israel, were In vited. Some of these cume; but not enough were "Israelites In Uaililm uiyid to come in. deed," to fill the foreordained number of the Church. Then the Master sent out Ills serv ants the third time, saying, that they should go outside the city and urge people to come In, that Ills House might be filled. This applies, evident ly, to the sending of the Gospel to the Gentiles. For eighteen hundred years the Message has gone up ulid down through the highways and hedges, call ing such as have beating cars and re sponsive hearts a Little Flock. Ultimately the full number purposed by the great Householder will have been found worthy through Christ to share In that feast, given In honor of the marriage of the Lamb. (Revela tion 10:7-9.) At that feast, we are told, will be a second company, not worthy to be of the Bride class. These may figuratively be styled the brides maids, the Great Company; for after the gathering of the Bride class we have the Lord's Message to those subsequently delivered from Bnbylon, saying. "Blessed are they tbit are called to the marriage supper of the Liimh!" Glacier if mm n i Vet q m no ULU1UU0 . "JESUS HIMSELF DREW NEAR." Luke 24:13-35 April 12. "II U t krirt thai dirt, ft nlhtr. tkal wet ruitrd from ike 4ad "Bomum t.H. CODAY we study one of Jeans' most striking manlfestatlona to His disciples after His rea- urre-tiou. F-arly that morning He had appeared to the womcu who came to embalm His body. They had communicated tbe news to St Teter and St. John, who hastened to the sepuiciier, but found It empty. Tbe disciples were erp!exed. Although Jesus bad told them that He would be crucified and would rise from the dead ou the third day, they bad not com prehended tbe teaching. That afternoon, as two of the com pany were walking home, discussing their disappoint ment, Jesus over took them. They knew Him not, be cause of His res urreetlon change. St. Peter tells u that He was "put to death In fleh. but quickened lu spirit." This we understand In tbe light of St. Paul's eiplnnation of the "u ' rUf"-" Church's resurrection: "Sown In weak ness, raised iu Kiwer; sown in dishon or, raised lu glory; sown an animal body, raised a spirit body."-l Cor inthians :A2ii. The same thought Is Impressed again by the Apostle's statemeut: "We shall all be changed, lu a moment, In the twinkling of an eye"; for "flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God." The change which tbe Church Is to experience Is the same which Je sus experienced when He was raised from the dead, a life-giving Spirit no longer a Man. Our Lord s title, "Son of Man," still belongs to Him, as does tbe title, "the Logos." When the Logos was made flesh, the Identity was preserved; and likewise when Jesus became a Bplrlt being again. Respecting our Lord's human experiences we read: "A body hast Thou prepared Me" for the suf fering of death. (Hebrews 10:3-10.) W hen lie had accomplished that pur pose, He no longer had need of human nature; but. as He had foretold, He ascended to where lie was before to the spirit nature and, later on, to Heav en Itself. To assume that Jesus is a fleshly be ing in Heaven, beating wounds and scars to all eternity, is to Imply that the Father never really exalted Him to the glory which He had before the world was (John 17:5), and Is uusup posable. The Scriptures plainly show that tho Father highly exulted our Re deemer "far ultove angels, principali ties and powers." "Jesus Showed Himself." St. Luke declares that Jesus showed Himself alive nfter His resurrection (Acts 1:3). In every way He mani fested the fact that a great change had taken place with Him. He appeared and showed Himself not only in differ ent bodies, unlike each other, but also In different clothing. When He sud denly disappeared, the clothing disap peared ulso. The stranger who overtook the two disciples eu route to Eniruuus Inquired, Why so sad? Astonished that He did uot know, they explained that the chief priests and rulers had delivered up and crucified Jesus, a prophet mighty before God and the people. Their hope that He was Messiah bad been crush ed. Then they told tho events of that very mornlug-thut some women of their company bad found His tomb empty and had seen angels, who said Unit lie was alive. This gave Jesus opportunity to ex plain quietly that their experiences were part of tho Divine Tlan; that it was necessary that Messluh should thus suffer, In order to become King of Glory and bless mankind. lie point ed out from Scrip ture what God had foretold respecting Messiah's experi ences. He proba bly showed that when Isaac was offered up by Abraham, be fore shadowed Jesus death and resur rection; that the smitten rock rep- Juu appeared a a resented Messiah, ttrangrr. WUQ must ,)e gn),t. ten lu order to give the Water of Life to humanity; that the serpent lifted up In the wilderness typified Messiah's crucifixion; and that the passover lamb typified Jesus, "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of tbe world." No wonder their hearts burn ed within them! "They Knew Him He Vanished." When tho travelers arrived In Em niaus, something in their guest's man ner of asking the blessing at supper reminded them of Jesus. Their eyes of understanding lgn to open. Then, having fulfilled the purpose of His ma terialization, Jesus vanished clothes and all. Unable to sleep, the disciples return ed to Jerusalem, and there learned that Jesus had manifested Himself to Pe ter. Then they told their experiences; and faith, hope and Joy began to grow lu all their hearts. During the forty days following our Lord's resurrection, lie only twice ap peared In n form similar to that which they had seen, bearing the marks of crucifixion. Ou both occasions He ap peared and vanished while the doors were shut. ?! Made to Order.. Office m
