Among the world's nation al he roc Lincoln hold a unique place, lie waa a benefactor of his race and ot hi era, but waa cut down before he saw the end of his work or bad time to reallzo what It meant to the nation. If a monument shall lo need ed to keep nitre tho memory of Lin coln among coming generations of Americans It should be one to recall the peculiar greatness of the man and the peculiar nature and Importance of his work. It may be of marblo or of bronze, a shaft a hospital or a school, but whatever It form It should teach the people who are not to know with out learning what Lincoln was and what he did. Knowledge of George Washington comes to American boya ami girls al most with the A"B Cs. He was tho first great American and can nctcr lie displaced from that position as an an swer to the most natural question to como to tho American mind. Ho was the father and the founder of this re public. It Is not a matter for surprise to chance upon a monument or tablet Inscribed to Washington In any ont of the way place. But vIth Lincoln there 1 a story, one that grows on the mind and the feelings. Hla memorial should be one to make the novitiate eager to learn more of that great man. The suggestion has been made to construct a memorial highway from Washington to the site of the battle of Gettysburg, seventy-two miles distant from the capital. In time this might become another Apptnn Way, as cele brated as tho first great Unman rnnd, especially If monuments and toinlm and other memorial structures should be set up uloug It course. A mere road used for the ordinary purpose of travel might lu time lose Its signifi cance as a memorial. It would he a good road, of course, and the letter It proved In this respect the weaker the Impression It would lie likely to make as a landmark of national hlntory. Lincoln's great work wns wrought In Washington, and probably the grand est words he ever uttered Vt ere spoken on those "dread heights of destiny," Cemetery Itldge. An) thing to recall Lincoln at Gettysburg and to suggest the significance of his being there and saying what be did at that place at that time could not lie amiss as tho nation's grandest memorlnl to the sav ior of the republic. The Mind of Woman, Woman is alwaya a puzzle to man, so the men aay. Here comes Dr. Thomas Claye Shaw, an eminent I'.nt llsb psychologist declaring that nun Is also a pntzle to woman. But nfter all Is aald there Is In reality very little difference between the two classes of minds. One may be complimentary to or may largely replace the other, and the doctor affirms In no halting lan guage that In suitable conditions of education and environment the alleged Inferiority of woman disappears. Just at thla time the pronouncement ot Dr. Shaw must como as a bombshell In the camp of the opponents of the suf fragettes In England. All of the peculiarities of woman's mental makeup, If there are any, this authority accounts for as a matter of peculiar development. As to tho so "called-mental faculties, which mny now.be sharper and now duller In wo men than In men, "we cannot prove, either from anatomy or iwychology, that any ono of these faculties Is or should be greater or less In women than In men." Tho promlucuco given by woman to dress, tho doctor says, Is eaally accounted for. It Is not mere vanity, but due perhaps to Inherited tendencies, nnd their feelings and Ideas ou the subject are often a mys tery to the devotees of dress them selves. They simply dress In their own way because they have to and fur their own satisfaction. As to the psychological future of woman. Dr. Shaw thinks that the fu sion of the two qualities of mind, the male and the female, Mould lend to negative conduct. Anyway mind Is not very different lu tho man or the woman. Thlnklug Is a very simple thing, and there Is no work, especially no mental work, jiecullat to the one or the other. "One sex might carry on the work of the world Just as well aa the other." Why We Love Music. A Japanese-American art critic bear ing the BUggestlvo name of Hartmann, writing lu Altrurln, seekH to necoiint for the advancing tnxtu fur music In this country aud what ho calls tho decadent state of sculpture anil paint ing. Briefly, this olerer declares the conditions of modern life do no' foster an understanding of MUlpturu and of painting. We hardly ever m the human body, and all our life Is colorless. I'lctuns whUh ore curiosi ties to us weru painted by masters who were true to their times, and the jioople of tbelr era were familiar with the weird, mysterious and gorgeuiis objects depicted utmn comas. For an appreciation of sculpture aud painting Mr. Hartmann Insists we must bo prepared by culture, nnd we must labor ourselves intelligently for the sake of any gratification. But music comes to us. It seems to af ford pleasure to everybody and to tho humblest mind. Music will produce a happy effect even when the hearer Is In a state ot exhaustion. Ameri cans are Insatiable lovers of music, and the fact that there nre so many amateurs Is considered good pnif that music Is everywhere met with genuine appreciation. We nre curious almut great pieces of tculpture and vain about possessing ts-lebrnted pictures, but music takes hold of ns. nnd we cannot break the hold If we would.

Germ of the Disease Is In Don Strue ture cf Nose. The announcement of a new theory as to the onue of pneumonia and the dlseotery of a reiinsly for the disease was made recently nt n meeting of the Chicago Mfdlnil rocletj. Dr. II.

"From these cells the disease works rapidly down to the lungs, and to all npjiearnmss these organs Immediately liecome the Beot of trouble," said the physician. "However, the fuel which Is feeding the flames of disease still Is being furnished from the cells at the top of the nosv. "The simple remedy consequently Is to draw this dangeious pus from thou cells. That hi what was done In the caso which I havo descrllied, and In twenty-four hours the disease had ills apjivared. The lungs, of course, were still affected, and It took da)s lieforo the patient finally was able to leave his bed." MOTOR STREET CLEANER. Machjn Qprjnkttt and Scrapaa Aa phalt In On Operation.

Hcrscbcl In the Quar terly Journal of the Hoyal Meteorolog ical society for Octols.T last describes tho extraordinary effects produced by lightning In the midst of an ojien moor In Northumberlaid. A bolu four or Ave feet lu diameter was made In the flat, peaty ground, and from this half a dozen furrows extended on all sides. Pieces of turf were thrown In various "directions, one three feet In diameter and a foot thick having fallen seventy eight feet from the hole.

Carborundum, the artificial substi tute for emery, which Is said to rival the diamond In hardness, U now em ployed because of Its extraordinary re sistance to heat as a coating for the Interior of furnaces.

Tho exlent to which the sea has cm-roached on the land Is evident from the fact that tho Journey from the mainland of l'r.ime to the Island by steuuilsrit now takes an hour. New Icemsklng Machine.

Exiicriments withi cruiihlo steel fur nace have demonstrated that steel melts from the center Instead of from the ex terlor. In other words, the Inside Is- comes n liquid, whllu the uutsldo re mains a solid up to a certain tempera ture, when It, too. melts. Ily withdraw lng the melting pot nt tho proper tlm I he pieces of steel, w Idle retaining the. e shars. will show one or moru sma I openings through which the melted In terior lias tluw'cd to the Isittom of tho crucible. The cause )f this phenome non Is the presence of tho oxide up ki the surface, which retulres n greater melting point than does the Interior, where no oxidization can occur.

As the tall, slender woman Is prone to droop her shoulders she should train herself to stand well and gracefully, which means throwing out the chest forward nnd upward, flatten ing the back and holding the shoulder blades In their proricr place. The weight of tho lssly should fall upon the hips, and to gain this there must bo a dcflnlto curving In of the small of tho back.
