THE HoLsrEIN Cow.-The Holsteii
bred cows are now attracting much
attention in various parts Of this con.
tinent from their wonderful milking
qualities They are natives of the
north of Germany-large, heavy cat.
tie, of compact form, making, when
fattened, excellent beef, being also
| good workers. They have been grown
in Holland for generations with spe-
cial regard to their milking qualities.
In that country they are lnvariabl Y
black and white; but in their native
DucGy they are found of various col
ors. The quality OF the milk of the
Holstein is such as fits it well for the
cheesemaker, the globules beingFmall
and uniform in size. The sk!mmiIK
is Of very blue tinge. The butter
made from the cream possesses great
lasting qualities. Several instances
are on record and are well anthenti>
Gated, where cows Of this breed have
given large quantities of milk. One
cow is certified TO have yielded an avs
erage of is quarts day Tor nine
months \ heiter owned in Cehmung
county, New York, gave, after her
first calf, 10 quarts a day for nine
months. An Instance Is also recorded
where 4 Hols,eia gave 10 pounds for
ten consecutive days, Of milk that
yielded - 50 Of cream. The record
of a heifer belonging to a Stock Breed
ers' association in New York State,
shows that after her first calf, she
gave for II days 1865 lbs, for the
next month May, 1917 lbs; in June
52-lS lbs; August, 50.12 lbs Sept. II
lbs; October, 33.l7 lbs; being an aver

VOCAL TELEeRArnY.-For some

Vocal TELEeRAPHY.-For some
years past Professor A. Graham Bell,
Professor of Vocal Physiology in the
Boston University, has been engaged
in the invention of apparatus by the
use Of which persons might talk to
each other BY word of mouth over
telegraph wires. His invention hav-
ing reached such state of perfec
tion as to admit of experiments be-
tween distant points, a trial was made
a short time since on the wires along
the line of the Eastern Railroad.
The Professor conducted the expert
ment in the Boston Office and the
Eastern Railroad operator oficiated
at the Salem Office, between which
and Boston--a distance of sixteen
miles-a conversation was carried on
with the most gratifying success.
The circuit was then made to extend
North Conway, N. H., 14s miles
from Boston, with Salem as a wav
station, where the messages sent to
to North Conway were taken off the
wires in passing and distinctly heard.
As the apparatus used was only in
tended to convey the sounds to Sa-
lem, the unexpected extent of its
utility was really wonderful. A fur
ther experiment was finally tried as
follows; The Boston operator talked
withthe Salem operator via Portland,
that is, the sound of Prof. Bells
voice was conveyed to Portland and
thence back as far as Salem, a dis
lance of about 200 miles. At this
distance the words could not be dis.
tingushed, but the sound of talking
was heard by the operator at Salem
family, as if Of some one talking on
the other side of door. The a1pa-
ratnss however, was not adapted to
conveying the sounds to such a great
distance, but the trial is considered
TO have established its utility.

Mopr or EIEcTiNG PRESIDENT

MODE or ELECTING PRESIDENT
The method of electing the President
and Vice-President by a popular
vote instead Of the present clumsy
system of Presidential electors is
attracting consideration in different
portions Of the country. The main
reason for departing from the ordi-
nary course of electing chief execu-
tive officers, in use in every State,
and never opposed, so far as we
know, on any ground whatever, was,
that it was supposed that the politi-
cal excitement of a popular election
would be avoided by the system Of
electoral colleges. The theory was
that the contest would not be gen.
eral one, but the people in each
State would choose certain men in
whose character and judgment they
had confidence, and that the choice
of President and Vice-President
would devolve upon these men, who
would be unaffected by party intrigue
or popular clamor, and would make
the best selection of a chief magis-
trate of the nation. We all know
how utterly groundless this theory
has proved in practice. The parties
held their national conventions and
nominated their candidates precisely
as though there were no such things
in existence as electoral colleges.
The electors are chosen because
they have to be, and for the mere
purpose of voting for the candidate
of the party choosing them, without
exercising any judgment whatever.
Their Office is merely ministerial, and
their character and ability are of no
consequence whatever. The per-
sons whose merits are canvass
ed and who are really voted for
in the popular mind are the party
candidates for President and Vice.
President, and the popular excite
ment is the same as though there
we're no such machinery between
them and the object of their suffrages.
Thus the only object of the electoral
college device has failed, and there
IS no advantage left to weigh against
its serious objections.

welcome and a short prayer were offered
by the pastor, when the school sang with
great spirit. to new tune, of much beauty,
the words '.All hail the power of Jesus

this Is the way it was done: Thomas had
arranged with a young lady in California
to become bone OF his bone. andshe affirm
atized, and would come upo on the Dakota.
So Thomas went to Victoria, engaged
rooms, splendid supper and band Of
music, and with much complacency await
ed the arrival OF the steamship. No soon
Ell had she arrived than he went on board
and asked the stewardess Il Miss NJ NJ
was on board. She replied No; there Is
no single lady among the cabin passen-
gers There is some mistake said
Thomas, who did not feel particularly
merry just then. Perhaps said the
stewardess, she came In the steerage.'
Thomas thereupon got on his ear, and
said that his friends did not travel in the
steerage. He then went 20 the purser,
who told him that the lady had not come,
so the merry gentleman returned 70 Vic
toria, countermanded all his orders aud
felt himself to be asadder and wiser man..
