The chief objection of the radicals of
France to the senate is that portion of its
membership is for life, which they regard as
anti democratic. It. is this feature of the
French senate that certain snobs in this coun.
try want to initiate in proposing that EXPIRE
sidents be made senators for life. This ac-
complished, the next step would be to fasten
ex cabinet ministers on the senate in the
same way until the senate would be CON
verted into an aristocratic and exclusive
body, removed from all responsibility TO the
people. Any departure from the elective
principle in representative offices is fraught
with mischief in a republic. Such a sug-
se.tion can come only from admirers of ar
istocra.ic forms of government -PltriOt.

The death of Governor Williams will have
the curious effect of giving the Democrats
the organization of the Indiana Senate with
the assent of the Republican senators; since
it is only by this concession that the Re-
publicans can get their new governor into
office aud a United States Senator in plsc
of Mcdonald. The Indiana Senate being
tie aud the law requiring it to be organi-
zed before the governor is inangurated, the
state will be left without governor, at the
expiration of the term of the lieutenant
governor who has taken Williams's place,
if the Republicans of the Senate do not &C.
cept a Democratic organization. As they
have also senator to elect there Can be no
doubt but that they will be very glad to be
very amiable, and that they will think
themselves very fortunate if the Democrats
consent to any organization at all when
they can secure so great an advantage by
avoiding it.-LancaSter IiteLigencer.

What q Volcano Can Do.

Co.opaxi, in 1888, threw it. fiery
rockets three thousand feet above its
crater, while in 1854 the blazing mas,
struggling for an outlet, roarcd so that
It's awful voice was heard at u distance
Of more than six hundred miles. Ia
1897 the crater Of Tunguragua, Il Of
the great peaks of the Andes, flung ii
torrents of mud, which damned up the
rivers, opened new lakes, and, in valleys
one thousand feet wide, made deposits
six hundred feet deep. The stream
from Nesuvius, which, in 1887, passed
through Tore del Greco, contained s.
900, 900 cubic feet of solid matter, and
in 1898, when Tore del Greco was de
stroyed a second zine, the amount OF
lava amounted to 1000, 900 cubic feet.
In 1860 -Etna poured forth a food
which covered eighty-four square miles
Of surface, and measured nearly 1000
100000 cubic feet. On this occasion
the sand and scoria formed the Monte
Rossini, near Nicholosa, q cone two
miles in circumference and four hun
dred feet high. The stream thrown out
by Etna in 1910 MAS in motion at tae
rate Of a yard a day for nine months
after the eruption, and it is or record
that the lava OF the same mountain,
after a terrible eruption, was not thor
oughly cool and consolidated for ten
years after the event. In the eruption
Of Nesuvius, A. ID. 70, the scoria anu
ashes vomited forth Ear exceeded the en-
tire bdlk of the mountain while in
1860 the .4tna disgorged more than
twenty times its own mass. Nesuvius
has sent its ashes rs iar as Constantine
pie, Syria, and Egypt it hurled stones
eight pounds in weight to POmpeii. =
distance of six miles, where similar
masses were tossed up two thousand
feet above the summit. Cotcpaxi has
projected a block Of one hundlcd cubic
yards in volume a distance of nine miles.
and Sumwaba, in 1915, during the mos
terrible eruption IN record, sent liz
ashes rs sav as Java, q distance of three
hundred miles Of surface, and out Of 3
population Of twelve thousand souls,
only twenty escaped.

1t appears by experiment. that the

this calculation an item is omitted
which it is difficult 10 estimate, i. e., the
stimulus given the beard by the frse
application Of the razor in adolescence,
the experiments being made upon boards
after they have acquired an unnaturally
rapid growth. The effect of this early
stimulus may be fairly counted at double
the natural growth hen reckoning the
difference in size and weight of the
fiber. which is treble, and we find the
frightfrl truth TO he that we raise thirty
times the natural quantity of beard
Thus it is evident that the true beard is
exhausted at a very early age, aftev
which the system is forced 70 supply a
substitute. Now nature will not sui

as such. She is fatigued in proportion

WHY Dc PEOPLE so TO CHURCH r
Some few go for strictly devotional pur-
poses, and all honor be to them. But
the majority attend church for far diff
ferent reasons. One goes because the
music is good, another stays away be-
cause the music is bad. One goes be
cause his neighbor goes, another stays at
home because his neighbor does. One
goes because it is an eminently respect
able thing to do and gives one a certain
position IN society, and another stays
away because he delights in being looked
upon as a man of great independence OF
thought. Few, however, are quite as
honest as the young lady who, on being
asked if she expected - attend service
the next day, replied, Yes, if my n v
dress comes home and fits well shall
go"

A British physician, observing the
large number of boys under fifteen OF
age on the streets with cigars and pipes
in their mouths, was prompted to exam
Inc the breath of this class of smokers,
and for that purpose selected thirty-cight
boys between the ages of nine and fifteen.
In TWENTY-FIVE Of these cases he found
various disorders OF the circulation and
digestion; palpitation of the heart and
more or less mai ked taste for strong
drink. In twelve there was frequent
bleeding OF the nose, and twelve had
slight ulcer alton of the mouth, caused ty
tobacco. The doctor treated them for
their ailments, but with little effect IN
til the habit of smoking was d~iseontin-

restored. The effect of tobacco in ere
