Ineligible Electors.

With respect to the ineigibility ono of the Republican electors chosen in Vermont, United States Attorney General Taft holds that where one elec- tor is ineligibly elected such circum- stance does not elect an opposing elec- tor, and he considers it rule that while a majority of the votes cast cannot make an ineligible man an elector, they were nevertheless cast, and are not so void as to give his opponent majority. Simi- lar cases in the elections of different States have been decided, and reference has been made to case in Pennsylvania that of the Commonwealth against Cluley, in which Judge Strong of the supreme court, who was then of the Pennsylvania court, delivered the opinion that new election for sheriff should be held. It is stated in Wash ington that the general rule in most States is that where there is vacancy in the electoral ticket the other electors shall fill the vacancy by ballot. It may be that some opinion may be asked from the attorney general upon this question, but it has not yet been presented, and the earnest attention that is given the matter results from an anxiety to obtain every fact of law touching it, and to be prepared for any emergency that might come from the situation.

Hints About Dresses.

Polonaises that are to be worn both in the house and the street, Harroer's Basor says, are provided with an extra lining of flannel that may be pasted in for street wear. This lining is of white twilled flannel, made separately from the polonaise, but similarly shaped, and is long enough to reach down over the hips, where the drapery of the skirt be- gins. It is imply pinked on the edges, not hemmed, and is provided with sleeves. Ladies who have thin arms have flannel Things for all close sleeves, and others, to give greater roundness, have slight wadding in the sleeves. White silk silesia waist Things of twilled stripes are used by the best dress makers for handsome dresses. These twilled silks are softer than the gros grain Things formerly used, and are more pliable. The long seams of these Innings are pressed open, and each edge is bound with narrow white ribbon; even the dress protector of oil silk or of chamois placed under the arms is GOV cred with white silk and bound with ribbon. These long seams arc most usually sewed by machine even by French dressmakers, but iu most of tue well made imported dresses all other seams are sewed by hand.

A Curious War Scene.

A correspondent of the London Standard, writing from the Turkish army, says: The officers on their way to Nish at the first cannon shot returned to their regiments, but I was detained by sight which, even in the midst of this sanguinary fight, deserves to be re- corded. Among the drivers who bring provisions to the camp in carts drawn by oxen, to return the next day with the wounded to Nish, was young Bulga- rian girl, about fourteen years old, driv- ing pair of buffaloes. Along the road traversed by the girl thousands of Bashi- -Bazouks daily pass, and it leads through the midst of at least 30, ,OOO SOL diers. The girl appeared in the camp instead of her father, who, she told me, was ill, but did not wish 10 lose his share of the rich harvest which the war brings, and although many of the sol- diers cast stolen glances at the unwont- ed apparition and perhaps reckoned up the time since they had last seen a woman, the girl passed uniniured, and without the slightest fear, through the midst of their ranks.

A New England Type of Insanity.

The superintendent of the Taunton lunatic hospital thinks he has discovered New England type of insanity, cer- tainly more positive, clearer cut, and less easily managed, than the majority of cases elsewhere. It may" he says, "be a trace of the old Pu.itan blood, but I think, rather, it is due to the character of our climate, as it soon ap- pears in our foreign population. It is characterized by intensity-used often to culminate in Bells disease, which have not seen of late it delights in noise--the crash of glass is music to it's ears it rends it's garments, refuses food so as often to require the stomach tube, settles into despair so deep that it would seem dementia were it not so actively suicidal, and, in acute cases, dies of maniacal exhaustion out of all proportion to that recorded elsewhere"

be under the direction of the authorities. Differing in this respect from both her sisters, Norway manages the labor of her prisons exclusively through their respective administrations.
 Now, what are the results of these several systems9 Financially, that of Norway is the most satisfactory. While the net earnings of the Danish prisons pay only forty-four centum of their ex- penses, the earnings of the Norwegian prisons meet on an average fffty-four per centum of the total cost, while some of them--the house of correction at Christiania, fer instance-come- very near to the point of self support. I am unable to give with tho same precision the proportion between earnings and cost in tho Swedish prisons, but from the data ill my possession I should inciine to the belief that it woul6 not vary much from that of Denmark.

How a Fortune was Made.

In 1923, Talma, having only appeared in tragedy since 1796, consented to give his: support to Mile Mars in one of Cassimir Delavigne's comedies. The announcement created wonderful sen- sation-the best actor and the best act ress in France to appear together. One morning, about week previous to the announced appearance, while Mile. Mars was in her private apartments, a manufacturer of LyoDs asked for au au- dience. On entering, he spread out be- foie the actress 8 ehimmering fold of costly yellow velvet. "Will you deign to accept this, and make my fortune2" said the visitor. Explanations followed, and it was understood to be purely business affair. The sagacious man,l- facturer knew very we'll that the superb woman before him set the fashion in fe- male dress before all Paris. Yellow vel vet.was his speciality, but nobody wore 1t; and yet he was assured that 1t would be all the rage if once seen upon the queen of the stage. Mile. Mars did not know. The color was very trying; she had dresses enough; but. at length, the pleading of the manufacturer overcame her scruples, and, in the kindness of her heart, she took the velvet and handed it to her dressmaker, with instructions for the making up. The eventful evening arrived, and Mile. Mars was arrayed in her robes of yellow velvet. On behold ing the reflection of herself in her dressing room mirror, her heart gave way. It is too ridiculous 1" she cried, almost shedding tears of vexation. "I look like an awfully exaggerated canary bird. Really, I cannot appear. Tell the manager he must postpone the play, or, at least, wait for me-" Talma heal d the word, and hurried from his dressing room. "Is that all?" he said, when he had surveyed tho queen and hearl h. story. "Upon my word, you never looked better in your life. The effect is superb. I am charmed with it. And the play went on. In less than two weeks thereafter the solons of Paris were literally golden with yellow velvet. A lady could not be. in the fashion in anything else. Years afterward the wealthiest manufacturer of Lyons gave a grand ,fete in honor of Mile. Mars, en- tertaining her sumptuously. The festi- val was held in a spacious and superb country house on the banks of the Saone, and the fortune upon which the estate had been reared had grown up from yellow velvet.

" Packarapu.N y

A Cape paper tells the story of a Maori who, having been the unfortunate creditor of bankrupt, had lost $40 or so, and was determined to master the system by which he was deprived of his money. Having done so, he was able to explain to his friends that he had lost his money because the debtor became " "Packarapu." In explanation of this word he said that white man who wants to become Packarapu" goes into business and. gets lots of goods and does not pay for them. He then gets all the money he can get together-say e2, ,OO0-and puts it away where no one can get it, all except e5. With this he goes to the judge Q; the supreme court, and tells him he wishes to become " Packarapu." The iudge says he is very sorry, but of course it cannot be helped, and he then calls all the lawyers together, likewise all tho men to whom the Packarapu owes money, and he says |: "This man is sPackarapu,' but, wishing to give you all he has got, he has asked mo to divide this among you all." The judge thereupon gives 94 to the lawyers and 91 to the other men, and the "Packarapu goes home.

Two Kisses.

a-.-- 1WU AlSSGSs "And say if should give kiss" The maiden said, "What good to me Would come from it ?" "You would n
 miss So small boon," said he; "And when I sail OCT far oil seas,
 It's sweetness will great joy bring; And every low or ringing breeze Will of your kindness sing" ''Ah, men oft say such words, you know, And then go wandering away 4 Where sweeter flowers bud and blow, And there forever stay. ge'fe -: What bond have that you will not,
 When you are far beyond the sea, And have my one poor gift forgot, <, Find lips will sweeter be ?" His eyes bent down to meet her gaze, And clasping firm her small white hands, He said: Love ne'er the traitor plays In any seas or lands \ And all the bond that can give,
 Is 8 love strong, and true, and brave A love that through earth's life will live, And pass beyond the grave" ,l*s's4T "Then take your kiss," she whisper'd low, And mingled were brown hair and gold, And as the minutes swiftly go, A Love's VOWS ss swift were told. "s'-..t The morning saw hls ships white sails Shine out beyond the rippling bay, And fast before the growing gales
 She winged hel trackless way. And in the watches of the night,
 And where the tropic isles lay sweet With spicy breath and waters bright The bending boughs would meet, He felt her warm lips on his own;
 No eyes were bright, no face was fair That did not tell of her alone,
 All times and everywhere. She watched his ship sail up the bay, She heard his footsteps at the gate, And half afraid did Ling ring stay
 Beside the glowing grste. The autumn twilight fl'd the room |'-' With shadows vague, but his clear eyes Shine truthfully in the half gloom, All doubt from her soul flies. "Dear love" he said, "I bring oyou Lips that still hold loves signet, set There by your own, sweet. I am true, could not you forget" Unasked her lips were raised to his, V. Her little hands clung to his own, And her sweet, thrilling welcome kiss Told she was his alone.
