THE veto power is one that was not
very frequently exercised by the early
presidents. OF over ak thousand legisla
tive measures enacted during the first
fifty years OF the federal government My
twenty encountered tho executive veto aud
not ono of those passed oV.T the presi
dents disapprOval. Strange TO say, too,
the tendency of nearly all the bills vetoed
was to enlarge tho power Of the executive;
the only marked exception was in the case
of the measure vetoad by Washington, to
reduce the sizs of the standing army aud
that nearly passed over his veto, the vote
in the House lacking only seven Of the

Feats In Rail Production.
Iron Age.

On both sides of the Atlantic very re-
markable results have recently been ac-
complished in the production of large
quantities of steel rails by individual
works. We have received from Great
Britain an account of the excellent work
accomplished in a week by one of Bolc-
kow, Vaughan & Co.'S rail- mills, and are
also in receipt of the record made in a
similar period by the Edgar Thomson
Steel-wo:ks, in this country.
During the week ending February 8,
Bolckow, Vaughan q Co.'S Tston No. l
rail mill turned out 1910 gross tons of
steels rails. Their No. . blooming mill
turned all the blooms for these rails and
232 more. Rolls were changed five
times in the rail mill. The largest pro-
duction of one turn twelve hours was
$50 tons of blooms and 40 tons of rails.
Work began on Monday at a. III. More
than half of the steel was made from
Cleveland ore.
During the week ending at p. m. on
Saturday, March l, the Edgar Thomson
Stecl-works produced 1858 &. oss tons Of
ingots, and rolled 4,1l0 gross tons OF
rails. Their largest twenty-four hours
work was 700 tons Of rails. In one
eight-hour turn 256 tons were rolled.
1t will be seen, by comparing these
statements, that Bolckow, Vaughan
Co., are ahead, having beaten the Edgar
Thomson Steel-works by 200 tons o.
rails in the output of week. These
results are very creditable to both works
which undoubtedly stand at the head o
the Bessemer steel works of the world
each having rolled more rails than were
ever before rolled in week. But W,
think the managers of the Edgar Thorn
son steel-works will not rest satisfied un
til they have surpassed the record o
Bolckow, Vaughan & Co. These ar,
foemen worthy of their STEEL" anc

The Women of France

As regards women, the most notable
examples of selfevolvement have been
furnished by France as far back as we
may look, says the Boston Transcript.
No other country has produced such
brilliant women in number or varied
ability. In DO other country have wo-
men played so notable a part in public
events, nor approached them in infu-
encing the men who shaped those
events. Yet most of these women were
The early product of the convent, where
elegance rather than severity of educa-
ton was the aim But the French wo-
II ans developement was largely due to
the best French male minds, who made
her salCn the theatre of their thought,
thus without any elaborate theorizing
lifting her at once to their own plane
How different this from the Teuton, who
while making the finest sentiments
about women, cannot brook seeing her
rise beyond the haus frau, with her
bunch of keys and domestic round of
interests. This in high life; while in
low it does not occur to him as unseemly
to see her yoked in drawing loads with
the donkey. There is something occult
and inexplicable in the genius of race !;
for, while the Teuton women seem gen.
orally content with this, her Slavic sis
ter is not. The Russian woman is fully
the peer of the man in her desire for
learning, and in brilliancy and action
ahead of him. The most wonderful
thing in Tourguenefi7s books was the
way he showed this, making the man
often seem pale and tame beside the wo-
man.

In trial of J. J. Robbins, well-knOwn
attorney and journalist, charged with AS
saultsupon Lulu and Dora McCrellis, two
young girls, a most dramrtic scene occur
red in the Criminal Court
After a great deal of evidence entirely
unfit for publication, Lulu McCrelis tes-
tilted that she had seen certain marks on
Robbins body, OH his arm the figure of
woman, and on his hip a horse; that
these were blue and had been tatooed
into the skin. Dora McCrellis, her sis
ter. corroborated this Statement in de-
tail, and said further that she had seen
upon Robbins back two red ma. ks about
six inches long, which he had told her
were birth marks.
The prosecution rested its case at this
point, and W. w. Turner, for the defence
rose and said that he would prove by
physical facts that the Witnesses for the
prosecution had invented wicked and
criminal lie.

to strip before the jury, exhibit himself

Worth a Licking.

Some years ago, in Georgia, that band
of Christians known as AsceDsionists
were having grand revival. One day
when the meeting was in full force a
storm came up, and young gentleman
who was out hunting with his servant
took refuge in the church door. Being
curious to see the service, the two hunt
ers crept up into the gallery, and there
hid in place where they could observe
without being observed.
"Come, Lord come :. our robes are
ready. Come, Lord, come" cried the
preacher, while all present gave loud
amen

ing his hunting horn to his mouth, "Iet

"Put that horn DOWN, or I'll break

The horn dropped by Cuffy's side, and
and again the minister cried: Come
Lord, Come; we are ready for Thy com.
ing. Come, Lord, come" -
"Do, Marsa Gabe-do jist lemme git
'em list one little toot," pleaded Cuffy
wetting his lips and raising the horn.
