The New Presidential Bill.

Mr.. Banks proposed constitutional
amendment has the following provi-
sions -
"The executive power shall be vested
ip President of the United States of
America. He shall hold his Office during
the term of six years. No person
elected to the office of President shall
be eligible for reelection.
'sThe Vice-President shall hold his
office during the term OF. six years. The
President and Vice. President shall be
chosen by the electors qualified to vote
in the election of Representatives to the
Congress of the United States at an
election which shall be held for that pu1-
pose, on the same day appointed in tie
several States for the election of Repre-
sentatives to Congress, in such manner
and under such regulations as Congress
may by law direct"
Suppose, says reviewer, President
dies early in his term and the Vice-Pre-
sident succeeds, what is to prevent him
from using all the powers of his office to
secure another lease ? He was not elect
ed President, and therefore does not
come under the provision marked.

The BOILER QUESTION. - Scientific
papers are discussing the boiler question
very seriously. An engineer, who wishes
to have his say in the discussion, writes:
I have run a steam engine II years, and
one time seeing steam coming out sof a
sheet of iron in one side of the boiler, [
went in and examined the place where
the steam came out and not being satls-
fed, let the steam run down and stopped
the work. We had on at the time 90 lbs
of steam, and when we came to examine
the boiler after the steam was down we
found place about l2x22 inches that
was rusted almost through. The sound
iron was not thicker than the shell of a
wasps nest, and yet it held against
the pressure of 60 lbs of steam. This
satisfied me that no ordinary pressure
of steam blows up boiler. Keep the
water at the proper height in boiler
and such disasters will be scarce.

The New York Hotel Fire.

The Fire Marshall of New York City
has made the following report relative to
the Fifth avenue hotel fire:-There is no
room for doubling that the fire origin
ated in room No. sos, occupied by Mary
Groves, the room being situated inside
the servants hall between the second
and third floors of the hotel. Room sos
is six by nine feet. The bed stood on
the east side of the room, and the eleva-
tor was at the southwest corner. This
elevator ran from the laundry in the
basement to the top floor of the house
and through rooms similar to No. 5o5.
Now for the cause of the fire: From
some unfortunate accident, possibly
from stepping on match when getting
into bed, Mary Groves's garments were
set on fire. They smouldered until after
she was asleep, and then the flames
burst forth. The draft through the
elevator carried both smoke and flame
from the room to the top of the house
before the heat became sufficient to wake
the sleeping woman, and when she be-
came aroused her face was badly burned
but her body being covered by the bed
clothes, was protected. Her room was
then all ablaze, and she rushed out.
leaving the door open, and getting into
the corridor OF the main building, gave
the first alarm to the inmates of the
hotel. 1 am satisfied that the domitory oc-
cupied by the scrubbers was filled to suf-
location with smoke and flame carried
through the elevator to that point. My
opinion is that the sufferers were suffo-
Gated before being burnt, inasmuch as
the fire had to burn from the hallway
through the partition walls into their
rooms bofore the fire reached their
bodies. The time thus consumed would
be fifteen or twenty minutes. The eleva-
tor naturally filled with smoke and fire
first, and as the upper stories filled the
smoke backed down, and fire and smoke
were seen in the lower stories. This ac-
counts for the fire being discovered
Simultaneously on all the floors. The
screams of the girls in the dormitories
were heard almost Immediately on the
discovery of the fire below.

The CHOLERA IN RUSSIA. appears
from official statistics just published at
st. Petersburgh, that during the past
year over $4,000 persons died Of cholera
alone in Russia. At the present mo-
ment smallpox is adding its terrors,
and it is feared that an equal mortality
will result from that disease before its
spread can be checked. The chief cause
of the spread of these terrible diseases
is ascribed to the negligence of the au-
thorities. In that country the rules OF
governmental authority are so severe
that no private individual dares to III
troduce sanitary reforms on his own ac-
count, or take means for checking the
spread of disease in community exceps
under orders, The consequence is, when
contagious disease is introduced it is
left to work its way unmolested until the
necessary orders are issued by the gov
ernment for-the adoption of precaation-
ary measures.

So Nice to be Engaged.

Every one must have noticed the great
difference, as a general thing, between
the conduct of the young betrothed man
and the young betrothed woman. He,
the braver and stronger of the two, is
utterly confused and bashful, and seeks
to make secret of the fact. She, on the
contrary. tries to parade it, is proud Of
it, assumes certain air of proprietorship
over him, and offers to her friends little
delicate condolences as to how nice it is
to be enpaged, and how dreadfully jeal-
Gus he is if she looks at any one else.
The cause of this Is just one thing !;
the man is in love the girl is not.
have studied human nature, [ have
looked into the depths of hearts, have
made man and woman the study of my
life, and I aver that the girl in love ls
rarer than a black rose. She simply
has for her lover exactly the feeling that
the young mother has for Der baby.
She has an anxious desire to see to him
for life, to make sure that he is comfort
able, that his buttons are all right, and
that his food is what it ought to be.
She understands that he is in love with
her, and rejoices in the knowledge.
The idea of losing his love is madness to
her, but of herself she does not under
stand it.
A woman who is not selfish, and
greedy, and mean, who does not smile
on any one who can give her fine clothes
and grand establishment, overfows with
the mother feeling all her life. She ex-
pends it on her dolls in childhood, on
her poodle, or her kitten, or her canary
afterward, and, when the time comes,
on her lover. Many man would lose
great deal of his conceit and vanity if
he knew just how the girl whom he sup
posed to be in love with him really felt.
She, also, would be surprised to hear
that she was not in love at all. but only
delighted to have some one in owe with
her, and in a measure awakened to the
knowledge of that love which she will
some day give her children. 1t is the
best sort of love too, and when a mans
wife really loves him, she makes him
happy.
But think it is time that some one
who knows the truth should tell it. A
good woman's love is something to be
happy in-not the fleeing gallantry that
man calls by that name, but a pure and
high affection, and with so much of the
motherly and protecting in it, that 1

Death Of Mrs. Disraei.

The illness of the wife of Mr.. Disraeli
has terminated in death. She was the
daughter of Capt. Viney Evans, r. n,
and neice of General Sir James Viney,
Z. G. B., of Taynton Manor, Gloucester
shire. Her given name was Marian.
Early in life she married Wyndham LIE
wis, Esq , afterwards member Of Par
lament and colleague of Mr.. Dlsraeli.
She survived Mr.. Lewis, and in 1889
married, as wealthy widow, the young
/" Bohemian" who had struggled into
Parliament, was struggling with good
prospects of success to get hearing IN
the House of Commons, to whose fame
he has since added, and was, before this
happy event relieved him of anxiety,
fighting losing battle with financial
and social difficulties. The marriage
was most happy one. Not very long
ago, when Mr.. Dlsraeli was on his way to
the House of Commons laden with a
great speech, his wife had her finger
crushed by the door of her carriage.
Her husband had not noticed the acci-
dent, and his heroic wife, though in per-
feet agony, refused to speak of it, lest it
should disturb the subject upon which
the orator was meditating.
When Disraeli was about leaving office
in 1868 the Queen offered him peer
age, but he declined anything for him
self, adding that anything Her Majesty
could do for his wife would be more ac-
ceptable to him than honor conferred oD
himself. Mrs. Disraeli was, in accol-
dance with this suggestion, created Wis
countess of Beaconsfeld, and it is no ex-
aggeration to say that Disraeli never saw
a prouder moment than when he handed
the Queens patent to the "perfect
wife" to whom-and it is no disparage-
mett to him to state that fact-mapy of
his triumphs were due. This happy
union, which has just been severed by
death, was blessed with no children.
The family had beautiful residence
in London.

Curious Wills.

In 1914, Lady Francis Wilson, daugh-
ter of the Earl of Aylesbury, was in
formed by Archdeacon Potts that a
parishioner of his name Wright, then
lying dead at poor clearinghouse in
Pimlico, had left her valuable estate in
Hampshire. The fair legatee ridiculed
the idea, as she knew no such individual.
However, she went to Pimlico, and re-
cognized her defunct friend as constant
frequenter of the opera, who had annoy
ed her by continually staring at her
there. One would naturally suppose
that the friendless man had fallen in
love with the lady, or been attracted,
perhaps, by her resemblance to some
lost love of his. youth. There may have
been some tender feeling in the case ;
but, then, how are we to account for his
eaving Ell. 900 to the Countless of Ros-
slyn, "a, 900 to the Speaker Of the House
of Commons, and e1,00O to the Chan
cellor of the Excheque-all of whom
were ignorant of his existence =? The
worthy Archdeacon would have secuted
the notion Of the man being insane, for
had he not proved himself in his right
mind by leaving e1,OOo, Gas mark of
approbation of sermon he had heard
him preach ?" In 1772, Monmouth
shire squire left 100000 to a laboring
man to whom he would not speak while
living. A Mr.. Furstone left $1,000 to
the first man bearing his surname, who
should produce and marry female Fur
stone. This was one way for a lone
man to provide himself with heirs but
we prefer the practice of honest George
Watts, of Stoke Bishop, who, having nc
kinsman or kinswoman to whom he could
bequeath sundry cottages of which he
had, by industry, and elf-denial, MADE
himself proprietor, left each Of his hum
BILE tenants the cottage in which they
lived.

Coal AND CoRN.-Coal is SIT ton
at st. Paul, and cord wood IS per 9
cubic feet. In the Western States wood
is scarce, and the cost of marketing very
expensive hence the use of corn as
fuel Experiments with this cereal show
that at the present prices of corn in the
Western cornfelds there is economy and
comfort in it's use. A ton of corn, 63
bushels, at II cents per bushel, costs
$3.50. This is equal to cord OF hard
wood, as supplied and measured in corn.
at ST; cutting of the cord, S1.5O !;
total, SS so. Thus making saving of
nearly So cord. For kitchen fuel corn
is superior to wood, except hickory, and
cheaper than that. 1t makes hot fire
with great blaze. The adaptability of
this grain to fuel is on account OF the
presence of very large per cent. OF dex-
trine (gum) and albnminous matter il

Gates longer lease Of life than when the

In a large, long body, the vital organs
thin are perfectly developed and act
more freely aud regularly. In narrow
chest and short trunk the functions of
respiration and digestion are less perfectly
accomplished.
