In The Logging Woods. Logging conditions thus far this year have been nearly ideal; and yet logging has not progressed quite as far to date as to the ponding date of the average year. Though the winter thus far has had more than its proportion of very cold weather, the season opened with a a hezvy snow fall following pleasant Makes and ponds thus pro- weather. tected by snow have up to February too severe for smoothest sleighing or the best work on the part of men and teams. Oneof the deterrent features of the logging industry this winter is the uncommon amount of tramping among woodsmen. This evil has two prime causes, namely, a lowering of quality in the average woodsman, and the higher wages paid this season, Wages are high as compared with former seasons, and whileit is true that every woodsman gets better wages,rumors of still better wages float around from camp to camp, breed discontent and start the men to tramping. This disposition is very common in all the upper Mis- sippi country. A stream of tramp- ers is circulating about in the woods aimost certain of work in any camp they strike because vacancies made by the desertion of men of similar tendencies. As it takes some time to break in any woodsman to the ways of work in a new camp, it results that time is lost and work hindered by this tramping. 1f there were two feet of snow instead of one the logyers would feel safe in expect- inga winter as long as they might desire. Asit is a large crop of logs is certain in the white pine couptry ‘Taking Care of Baby. Give the baby a thorough bath each day, but do not overdo the matter, for too much bathing weakens the child. Wash its mouth out daily, keeping a soft linen cloth especially for this use. A pinch of powdered borax in the wa- ter for this purpose will prove bene- ficial, as it tends to cleanse out all particles of milk which may adhere to the roof or sides of the mouth: If this is done faithfully there is small dan- ger of the child’ ever having “babies’ sore mouth.” But if its mouth should become sore wash it with a tea’ made from blackberry leaves or with borax and honey.

The number of distilleries in opera- tion in the United States in March was 592 of grain and nine of molasses, pro- ducing $21,214 gallons of grain spirits and 9,461 gallons of molasses spirits daily. ‘ I INAUGURATION DAY IN APRIL, A Constitutional Change Based on Wash- x ington Weather. What is known as senatorial resolu- tion 83, otherwise “the Chandler amendment,” proposes an alteration in the federal constitution, which in or- der to become effective must secure (as it is generally believed that it will) the assent of the legislatures of two- thirds of the states. There are now forty-five states, and the assent of two- thirds means the approval of thirty, a larger number than there were in the whole country fifly years ago, when, in May, 1848, the proposition to admit Wisconsin as a state was passed upon favorably, the number previously to that time being twenty-nine. posed constitutional amendment makes —beginning 1901, following the next presidential election—April 30, instead of March 4, the inauguration day. It is a peculiar circumstance, which stu- dents of American history have not failed to observe, that while the pro- visions of the constitution regarding the method of choice of the president are somewhat vague and indefinite, the provision, which is art'cle XII of the amendments, for the inauguration of the president on “‘the 4th day of March next following the election” is explicit. As to the choice of president, it is pro- vided only that each state shall ap- point, “in such manner as the legis- lature thereof may direct,” a number of electors equal to the total number of congressmen allotted it, senators and representatives. There may be a popular vote for these electors, as in most states there is, but this is not ob- ligatory. “The legislature itself may choose the electors, without the inter- vention of the voters, excert in so far as this action is prohibited by state constitutions. ent (Colorado conspicuously) women vote, for presidential electors on the same terms as men, and in some states even aliens, not yet citizens of the United States, participate in such choice of electors. While this branch of the matter of presidential elections is left without any general rule, the time for inaugurating the president is a part of the organic Jaw of the coun- try, and can not be altered except by formal change in the constitution, as is now proposed. It is a somewhat curious fact, too, in connection with this agitation for a change, that April 30 was originally the inauguration day. George Washingtcn, the first president, | ‘was inaugurated in New York city on | April 30, 1789. The second inaugural in Washington, however, was on March 4, 1793, and the twelfth article of the amendments, which prescribes March 4 as the date, was proposed in the first session of the English con- gress, and was adopted on Sept. 25, 1804. The reasons now advanced for its change to the original date are chiefly meteorological and based upon the weather conditions, which are most unsatisfactory and even dangerous in the city cf Washington in early March. Incidental to the inauguration. of a president there are, of course, many changes in the federal administration, though these are fewer than heretofore, | of which he is the chief. Thousands of sightseers are drawn to the national capital at this period, along with those whose presence is required, or, if not always required, is certainly desired, and it is believed generally, and the weather conditions in Washington fa- vor this view, that April 30 would be a more appropriate time for such obser- vations and festivities as the inaugur- ation of a president. Against tho choice of this date, however, is one ob- jection, which, though not urged in the senate, is likely to be brought up for consideration in the various states. It is this: The president is voted for on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November. From that time until his inauguration four months elapse—four months of uncertainty, in- definiteness, negotiation and active po- litical rivalry. During these four months the outgoing administration is practically helpless to enunciate any policy or to carry out any plans. These devolve upon its successor. The pro- posed censtitutional amendment would ‘add to this period of unceriainty near- ly two months, and it is a question whether the more desirable condition of the Washington uncertain climate at the end cf April compared with what it is at the beginning of. March would justify a change, adding nearly two months of uncertainty and dissatisfac- tion for the great body of American electors, who, while participants in the election, take, and seem ‘to desire to take, no overt part in the formality of inaugurating the president. western Generosity, The cold flag is up again and we a promised a genuine blizzard from th west.
