They follow him out to Bis piace om Woodley lane, they swarm about the White House, they even bis retirement at “Gray Gables.” But they have not yet taken to hiring tug boats or pilot sloops to follow the President when he lcs 0 sea, Te ts not by any means certain, wever, if the President. conti 3 to take go meny sea trips that they will consent to ve him alone.

Kings and queens, as @very one knows, travel about extensively, and so do the other heads of government, 1f they choose to do so, but our President @ares not spend his vacation under any gther flag than the stars and stripes.

The first Presidents were, howeve:, all countrymen, with old cetates, with which they were identified. Washingtcn’s broad acres extended along the Potomac for nearly @ mile, and Madiscn's magnificent estate of Montpelier embraced more than a thousand acres. Jefferson was the owner of a mcun- tain, on the top of which his house was built, and John Adams had a fine old farm in Massachusetts. He was Adams “of Braintree,” and his successor was Jefferson “of Monticello.” James Monroe was a countryman also, with a large estate, and Andrew Jackson was the owner of the “Hermitag: Martin Ven Buren had a fine place at Kinderhook, New York. For all of these Presidents there was only one vaca- tion, and that consisted in getting hoiae. They constdered that true happiness was only to be found at thelr country places, and all of them focited forward to retiring there. Washington died at Mount Vernon, Jefferson at Monticello, Madison at Mont- peller, Adams at Braintree, Van Buren at Kinderhook and Jackson at the Hermitage. Monroe red reverses in his old az? and was forced to leave his place, Round Hiil, and he did not die there, but it was the use of great grief to him that he could not end his days on the spot that he loved most in the world. The only real relaxation that a President sets are the rare occasions when he gets away from the telegraph and mail, bat tnis he never dares to do for more than a day or so at a time President Cleveland manages this by his sea trips; President Harrison never managed it at aliand Presi- dent Arthur tock cnly one such complete relaxation.

The time ts nearly at hand for President Cleveland to take his relaxation just as the rest of ug take ours, and no’ reflectinz American ought to begrudge him a brief respite from his cares, which are greater than ours. —_—_.__ THE CHINESE NAVY. jac it Would Do in an Emergency He Predicted.

Popalar Errors About Grape Seeds Expleded by a Prominent Surgeon. From the New York World. A prominent doctor who has performed a score of successful operations for the re- moval of that troublesome and inexplicable part of the human anatomy, the vermiform appendix, says that the general impression that appendicitis is caused by the presence in the appendix of a cherry stone or a cur- | rant seed or a seed of any kind is entirely erroneous. “I have not found a seed in the appendix of a single one of my cases,” he said. “A small bit ef digested matter gets into the Nttle sac, if the neck of it is open far enough to receive ft. It may remain there for years and cause no trouble, and then | again it may bring on appendicitis almost immediately.

There is 2 great difference in the length cf time taken by surgeons to per- | form this or, in fact, any delicate cpzra- tion. There Is one surgeon in the city who has performed the operation in eighteen minutes, which fucluded the time from the moment the patient was brought in on the operating table until he was ready to be taken out. ‘This Is half the time that it re- | quires the majority of skillful surgeons to do {t. Of course, spec is not everythins. “The appendictlis iad, as the craze among rich pecpie to hav ir vermiform ap dices removed is called, still continues atated, and there are few surgeons of prominence now who are sot famillar with | the performanc peration.
