What is known as senaiori |] resolu- tion 83, otherwise “the Chandler amendment,” proposes an al eration in the federal constitution, which in or- der to becoine 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, ard the assen' of two- thirds means the approval of thirty, a larger number than there were in the whole couniry fif y years ago, when, in May, 1848, the provosition to admit Wisconsin as a state was pass<d upon favorably, the number previously to that time being twenty-nine. The pro- posed constitutional amendment makes —beginning 1901, following the next presidential election—April 80, 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 article XII of the amendments, for the inauguration of the president cn “the 4th day of March next f¢iowing the election” is explicit. As to the cho'ce of president, it is pro- vided only that each state shall ap- petnt, “in such manner as the legis- | lature thereof may direct,” a number of electors equal to the total number of congressmen allotted it, senators ard representatives, There may be a popular v or 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 veters, except in so far as this action is prohibited by state constitutions. In some states at pres- 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, rarticipate 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 @ part of the organic law of the coun- try, and can nct be altered except by formal change in the constitution, as j is ngaw proposed. It is a somewhat curious fact, too, in connection with this agitation for a change, that April 80 was originally the inauguration day. George Washington, 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 {ts change to the original date are chiefly meteorological and based upoD the weather conditions, which are most unsatisfactory and even dangerous in the city of Washington in early March, Incidental to the inauguration of 4 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 desived, and it is believed generally, and the weather conditions in Washington fa- vor this view, that April 30 would bea more appropriate time for such obser- vations and festivities as the inauguz- ation of a president. Against the choice of this date, however, is oné 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 Mondey in Novem’er. From that time until his inansvration four months elapse—four months of uncertainty, in- definitevess, negotiation and active po- litical rivalry. During these four months the outgoing administra‘ion ‘s practically heipless to enunciate any policy or to carry out any plans. Thes2 devolve upon its successor. The po posed cunstitutional amendment wou if add to this period of uncertainty near ly, two months, and it is a question whether the more desirable conditior of the Washington uncertain c:imat at the end cf April compared with whs it is at the beginning of March wou: justify a eh7rge, adding neerly months of uncertainty and dissatts tion for the great body of electors. who while particinar electior, take, and seem to Cesire take, no rt part in the forma wf inane! ng tke president. ¢ Died for Her Puppies. A large barn in the rear of Mics Mary Wicken’s- dwelling at 817 East Washington street, was discovered in a mass of flames, says the Indianapolis News, and when the department ar- rived the structure was in ruins. A water spaniel dog which was in the yard at the time of the fire ran fran- tically about and finally into the burn- ing barn after several pups. She made a gallant effort to rescue the puppies, but was suffocated before she could drive them out. .consumes. He retires at 9 o'clock VEN-OB-WAR.

Dr, Holmes knew this when he made the Autocrat say: ‘When I feel inclined to read poetry I take down my dictionary. The poetry of words is quite as beautiful as that of sentences. The author may arrange the gems effectively, but their shape and luster have been given by the at- trition of ages. Bring me the finest simile from the whole range of im- aginative writing, and I will show you a single word which conveys a more profound, a more accurate‘and a more elogtent analogy.’ Emerson had the same feeling when he wrote: ‘It @oes not need that a peom should be long. Every word was once a poem.’” A Coffee Burometer. It is claimed thst the “coffee” fore- east is a relizble way of determining what the weather is going to be. In order to tell what the weather is going to be you must drop carefully into your morning cup of coffee, prepared with a little milk, two lumps of sugar. Do not stir the coffee. If the bubbles ascend rapidly, separate quickly and fly to the side of the cup, there will be much rain within the next twenty- four hours. If they gather closely and gravitate in a cluster to the side only pussible showers may be expected. But if they remain placidly in the cen- ter of the cup you may wear your best hat and leave your umbrella at home when you take your walks abroad, Telephone Without Wires. | At the meeting of the British Asso- | ciation for the Advancement of Science at Bradford, England, Sir William Preece, ex-president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, announced that he had successfully transmitted speech eight miles across sea without the aid of wires and that the establishment of such a system for commercial com- munication was practicable between ships and land. Sir William Henry Preece made several experiments last year with an induction system of wire- less telephoning, signaling across the Menai straits and using telephones at both ends to receive the signals.

The climber also waded feet among bluebells, Jacob’s-ladder, iris, saxifrage, cassiopes and «many others, The song birds that attracted our notice were the golden-crowned sparrow and the little hermit thrush. The golden crown had a peculiarly piercing, plaintive song, very simple, but very appealing. There were only the depths of the bird’s soul. In them was all the burden of the mystery and pathos of life. INCORRECT NAMES. Game Lirds of America Misnamed by Hunters. It is remarkable that most of the game birds in the United States are known by names which are not honest- ly theirs. A man talks of going quail shooting or pheasant shooting. Neither of these birds is native to America, and the sportsman means he is going after partridges and grouse. There are indeed some pheasant preserves in the country, but in spite of assertions | to the contrary the quail does not live on the North American continent, ac- cording to the authority of D. G. El- liott in Outing. In the first place, quail are much smaller than partridges. The main differences, however, between the two much-confused birds are: The bill of the true quail is small, weak, entirely different from the strong bill of the English partridges and of our own “Bob White,” and the groove of the nostril is mostly fedthered. The | nostril of the American “‘quail”—really partridge—is uncovered. Partridge | legs are scaly .and spurred, while | quails’ legs are never so adorned. The quail’s tail is short, the feathers soft and light and not half so long as the wing. The partridge’s tail has from | sixteen to eighteen feathers and is de- | cidedly stiff. All the birds here gen- erally called quail, from the Bob Whites, the Messena quail, the crested and plumed quail of the, southwest, to those of ‘the Pacific coast, are really them scientifically. The ruffed grouse rarely receives its correct name, being | called partridge or pheasant, accord- ing to locality. The grouse is known by the fact that its legs are always completely or partially feathered over. The partridge- never has feathers on its legs. Girl Tramps Are Numerous. New Jersey has come to the front with a product entirely its own. It} is nothing less than the female tramp, | dressed in boy’s clothing and stealing | rides on freight trains. . She is be- coming common. Recently “James” Robinson of Philadeiphia was released from the county correction farm at | Trenton on payment of a $3 fine, the money having been sent here by teie- | graph from(Philadelphis. ‘James’ iz a girl about 16 years cld. She. was arrested by a railroad detective and sent to the farm chained to six tramps. When captured she had a large revol- ver strapped to a belt around her waist, and upon being questioned fused to give her name, but said she SECRET SOCIETIES. ITASCA LODGE A.:. F.
