Among the features of Adrian college, Mich- igan, which are set forth in the annual cata- logue is s “Best Girl Trust.” The young men are sworn to secrecy and to abide by the rules Miss Fanny A RECORD OF THE ELECTION. Certhicates that Will be Preserved in the State Department. In addition to his other duties the Secretary of State finds himself burdened this year with & new responsibility by the operation of the electoral count act, which was approved by the President February 3, 1887. This act made several innovations in the mode of casting, counting, and recording the votes of the presi- dential electors, among which was the desig- nation of the Secretary of State as a portion of the official machinery. The first step, under this act, was performed last Monday, being the “second Monday in January next following their appointment,” when the electors met in the different states and cast their ballots for the offices of President and Vice-President. This was in accordance with the first section of the act. The measure then states that if any of the states have already provided laws governing controversies or contests concerning the title of electors they shall follow such laws on the present and future occasions. It is under the third section that the Secre- tary of State’s duties begin. Just as soon as practicable after the final decision as to thi election, or, in the words of the act, the ‘ +P pointment” of electors has been made in tl state. the governor caused to be prepared a certificate showing the names of electors and the number of votes each received in the general election in November. This certificate was done in type-writing on a — official pa r, and bore the signature of the governor the seal of the state. It was mailed, as toon as ready, to the Secretary of State. Three — ies of the same certificate were given, on fore Monday last, to the elec’ college of the state. As soon as he received a certificate from a goverhor—those from the smaller states oe received soon after election—Secretary Bayar caused it to be carefully copied three times in type-writer, and each copy was certified to as betng true and correct. One was sent to the ident of the Senate, and another to the Speaker of the Houre. The third was pub- lished as an advertisement. There is no pro- vision in the act for the payment of the adver- which has not yet been presented to retary. consequently Congress will be asked for money enough to satisfy the publish: er’s claim. It is a large one, amounting to sev- eral thousand dollars. 8 soon asallof the certificates are pub- hhed and copies transmitted to the Senate and House of Representatives, the only thing re- maining for the Secretary to do will be to ar- range the original certificates, which do not leave the department, neatly and tie the papers belonging to each one together with a bit of ribbon. The whole bundle will then be bound in a book and on the cover will be stamped, in letters of gilt, some such legendas t! “Pres- idential election certificates, 1839." This vol- ume, which is the original proof of the validity of the President’s election, will then be filed away in the bureau of indexes and archives, er will become one of the documents of the nation. Another Learned Shoemaker. From the Pall Mall Gazette. Mr. John Mackintosh, author of ‘The History of Civilization in Scotland,” who will write volume “Scotland” in the Story of the Nations Series, is in many respects a remarkable man. He was sent to work on a farm in his native county of Banff at ten years of age, and was subsequently apprenticed to shoemaking, at which trade he worked in various parts of Scotland for fourteen years. In 1869 he opened a small stationery shop in Aberdeen, “and there. on the shop counter,” he once wrote, “amid all the noise and bustle of a stirring thoroughfare, the three volumes of my history were written and the proof-sheets correcte: and revised, all being done while customers were coming in and out and constantly inter- rupting me.” Mr. Mackintosh’s shop is passed daily by cg rofessors on their way to the at one time several of them were in the habit of calling occasionally and having a chat with the literary shoemaker. He was accorded the privilege, too, of using the uuiversity library. His history consists of four tly volumes, the and best dealing with he moral and material advancement of the country. Mr. Mackintosh has been in the habit all his life of rising before 4a.m. He says he finds the —s morning hours the best for lite- rary work. The Grotesque Arizona Cactus. From a Corona News Letter. Foremost among the sights which call forth exclamations of astonishment from the tourist is that of the grotesque cactus of Arizona ter- ritory. Like other tropical productions, it is totally unlike any preconceived notions of what nature could design. The plant is leaf- less, having a bare, fleshy stock, protected everywhere by sharp and venomous barbs. Its flowers are considered among the choicest, varying from white and yellow to deep crim- son or purple. These blossoms, capitulum, are wax-like, and their inflorescence calls to mind Aladdin's fabled experience among the fairy plants, with their sparkling fruits oe diane and other gems. The fruit is egg-shaped, with a crown on the upper side. and is. generally de- licious, presenting as varied colors as the flow- ers. Jt contains a large quantity of seeds, sur- rounded by a nicely-flavored juicy substance, In different species the fruit in size is all the way up from a canary’s to an ostrich’s egg. The cactus is almost imperishable, and can live many months without water, although it is only seen in its Lepage under a plentiful supply. So hardy is the plant that a piece from any part ill tke rok And grow if placed in the ground, even though it has lain around for atime. It thrives equally well on a piece of bare rock in ascorching tropical sun as it would packed in ice in a northern zone. It isa paradox—a curiosity in the vegetable kingdom. ——-—_—$.96-——— Now Pag Your Annual Dues. From the Christian Union. “If all our members would do as you do— pay theirmembership fee at the very beginning of the year, how much better it would be for our society in every way!” This remark, made by the treasurer of a large charitable organi- zation to a lady paying her annual fee at the beginning of the year, and without solicitation, is one to be brought home to the members of all the organizations of our country based on fee membership. Within three months I have heard FX sacl plaints from officers of several societies, ar began in January, of the neglect of mem- bere in this respect; members who were fully able to pay, prominent in works, but failed to do so simply through oughtlessness, “It is a delicate thing,” said one secretary, “‘to dun such, but need money, and what else can we do?” Now, all this anxiety could be avoided, and the various organizations be placed on much better business basis, if all men and women would make it a point to renew fees at the annual meetings of the socie- ties to which they belong. not be done — mally by al meetings, let sum be forwarded to the treasurer at that time. Courtesy to the offi- cers, who freely grve much time and talent to do the legitimate work the societies require, demands as much as this. Then a eeony un- solicited payment carries with it cqupeing, Ail clleere Kuow Win Sn, bese ever, a kind note expressing Gectes Sen tas oun cess of the society accompanies the fee, a help- ful chord is struck which cannot be lost.

That was a quaint touch of history which Dr. Griffis gave his hearers at Shawmut church yesterday about the mince pie, says the Boston Advertiser, His was a Christmas sermon, with all the rest, and in the course of ithe said: “The mince pie, whatever it may be to weak digestions, is also aharmless relic of the old medieval custom of teaching truths by visible a = as patery ver was si “in by th b, bitter herbs, un- Teisead cake, awe and wine. This com- Posite is a pic ture and symbol of the manger of Bethlehem. In its original oblong shape it typified the place of the cattle, and by its meats, spices and fruits in their order, what was present at the birth of Jesus—the flesh of oxen and of the shepherd's flocks, the Oriental frankincense and myrrh of the Magi and the food out of the earth for man and beast. To eat mince pie was once a test of orthodoxy, that is, Roman Catholic orthodoxy. For this reason this particular delicacy is tabooed by the ultra Protestants. Now, however, we have won this historical symbolic pastry from all sage gestions of Roman ecclesiastical dominion, caneat it without asking any questions, except for digestion’s sake, as innocently as we butter hot cross bi The ‘American Dress. From the Haberdasher. The principal trouble of the American style of dressing is this, there is no general stand- ard. Individual taste—no, it is not taste—is permitted to follow any fancy or whim of the benighted being. “The fine dresser,” to use an American expression, considers only one thing in purchasing a suit of clothes—it must be of the finest and most expensive material. No matter how badly it is made, or how inap- Fromiste to the occasion on which it is worn, the would-be American swell is saturated with self-content over the blissful thought that it cost him from $100 to $125. I believe this is the price charged for what is termed in Eng- land a swagger suit, In England individual taste is kept down by conventional rules, and Properly so. A man who would wear a frock coat in the morning, or who would indulge in the original eccentricities of dress displayed by the average American would simply in cate his ill-breeding and lack of peaicar ta good society. —___—_cee_____ The Moral of Natural Gas. From the Glen Cove Gazette. The moral of this discovery of “natural gas” so near to us on this beautiful little island is an admonition for its inhabitants to pause and think—to turn over a new leaf, and keep the new leaf turned over all the time. It is an ad- moaition to all that life is short at the best, and that it is the extreme of folly to postpone ae ready for the life to come until the loctor says “you have only a few hours to a or up to the moment when “natural gas” shall burst from the earth and destroy all liv- ing things—that the necessity of the hour is for every man to reform himself, not a half way sort of reform, buta genuine, whole-souled reform, the way to which can be ascertained by attending any of the churches every Sun- day during tt this Year. et eee “Gentlemen” in Medicine. From the Medical Record. The writer of a recent work on the social cus- toms which guide and illuminate the lives of our English cousins takes up, with other things, the subject of the medical profession. Our readers will learn with interest, perhaps, that the profession of medicine is not one sought by “gentlemen” in England. We had already at times su: ited this, although it must be con- fessed that a number of English medical men who have visited this country have conducted themselves in such a way a8 to be taken for gentlemen by their American hosts. We are glad, therefore, to find it admitted later that, occasionally a1 a exceptionally, through some freak of teay or exuberance of scientific bias, ——— do take up medical studies, ‘he Philadelphia Sivoeste of an olive-col- ored button for doctors will be pleased to know that in England this is not necessary, there is already’ a * Epp garb,” con- sisting of a high "ia ht or dark, and a dark coat. ‘This characteristic garb, with the high hat, is to be seen in intense exfoliating luxu- riance in this cityon St. Patrick’s day. The high white hat is also. to some extent, an American vice; it is de regueur in the Bowery and at political conventions during the heated spell. It is not “‘good form” in England to_call cian tor;” it must be “Doctor Jones, or “Doctor Smith.” Our informant unfortu- nately does not say whether it would not be proper to use the favorite American mono- syllable, “‘doc,” or whether such a conjunction “Doc” Guill or “Doc” Jenner would be in harmony with the best social usages of fash- ionable London. The American doctor has some disadvan’ ae to contend against; but it isa great thing he is an American—a real American—wittiout any hyphen in front. to whom such stuff as is written about the English doctor is meaning- less or amusing. ooo Rearing Babies in Arabia. From the New York Telegram. A royal baby’s first toilet, in Arabia, consists in winding a bandage about its body after it has been bathed and perfumed.
