Minority Presidents.

An ingenious compilation has recent
~ been made, from which it appears
that Presidential elections are not I'M
frequently decided by two votes out Of
each 100. For the last sixty years it
appears that not less than seven Presi-
dents have been elected by a minority
of the voters, represented however, by
majority of the electors. These
Presidents were: Adams in 1924, Polk
in 1874, Taylor in 1848, Buchanan in
1856, Lincoln in 1860, Hays in 1876,
and Garfield in $780, In 1924 Adams
had only 20.92 per cent. of the votes,
and as no candidate was chosen the
President was elected by the House.
In 1914 Polk had 1886 per cent of the
votes, Clay 48. IA and Birney 2.21. A
difference of per cent determined the
issue. In 1948 Taylor had 47.36 per
cent, Cass 1875, and Van Buren, 10.14
per cent. Eight years later Buchanan
became President, having received 45. 81
per cent. of the votes, while Fremont
had $500, and Fillmore 21.57. Lincoln
in 1860 had 1891 per cent. of the votes,
Douglas 1914. breckenridge 1903,
Belt 1851. Hayes had only 1885 per
cent. and Tilden 50.94. Garfield had
1926, Hancock 1926, and Weaver 3. 33.
The highest percentage of votes ever
received by any successful Presidential
candidate was in 1923 when Jackson
bad 5.97 per cent. Which ever of the
present existing leading Presidential
candidates shall succeed in securing 2
per cent. in hundred more than his
opponent will therefore be elected.
The significance of each individual vote
can we'll be appreciated by survey Of
these figures.

reached before the age of ten.A~So, too,
the normal proportion Of the chest to
the lower portions of the body is not at

part of the back (the lumbar) on which
the sitting posture mainly depends is
even then only moderately developed.
About the fifth or sixth years the base
of the brain grows rapidly, the frontal
bones extend forward and upward and
the anterior portion grows consid erably.

the basis of intellgence-and the large

alike, you can imagine the difficulty
we often have. Here is an eye belong

It is special eye, and is left here as a
sample by which he can order new ones.
You see; eyes wear out, their life being
about year or d little over. though oc-

much longer time. One gentleman who
was here this morning had worn his eye
for five years, night and day. The salt
and alkaline solutions of the tearducts,
however, have an effect on the surface
of the glass, and eventually roughens it,
so that a new eye is necessary. One of
my customers, lady, renews her eye
about every six months; here's her last

is and how its colors are dimmed.

to me for left eye. I fitted him up, and
then was astonished to be soundly be-

1t. He had an idea that my glass imita~
ton was going to restore sight to his
destroyed optic nerve, and he told me
that he had been thus informed by his
doctor. You see this eye-that belongs
to young lady on Broad street, and I
have no doubt it has often gazed TENDER
