then tore it impatently off and pinned it to his
coat tail. They upset half the furniture, and

the bride, at the same time pouring a glass of

That Is phase that l believe you will always

Men often cross their legs at public meetings.
because they go there TO listen, or to be enter

More Outdoor Exercise.

Southern women ought to take more out
door exercte. As a rule, they keep them
selves cOoped up in the house too much
They want more sunshine and fresh air
Perhaps the nor hern women are more
healthful than those of the south, and if so,
the reason is that they take more exercise
Tricycles are becoming popular means
of exercise for women. They are emf
nently fitted for them, and they are COM
parativelY cheap, always ready for use,
easy-going, durable and safe. Women who
can't afford to keep horse would find tri-
cycle an excellent substitute. In England
tricycles are used very extensively. Re
Gently two Americans, Mr. and Mrs. Pen
nell, made delightful excursions on "tan-
dem" through portions of England and no
doubt their enjoyment was keener than if
they had adopted the usual mode of travel
They were able to 60 outside of the beaten
tracks, and see a great deal That was new 20
them. They gave in one Of the American
magazines an interesting account of their
travels, Mrs. Pennell having taken
notes of the persons they met
and of the incidents growing out of
the ride, and her husband having made
sketches of the scenes. In this country,
every moath marks an increase in the rum
Der OF tricycles used, and on any pleasant
day dozens of them are wheeled over the
asphalt pavemeuts of Washington, Phla-
delphia aud other cities. Tricycling became
a fashionable recreation at some OF the re-
sorts the last summer.
Southern women cannot avail themselves
of this delightful mode of exercise very ex-
tensively, because generally the streets in
the south will not admit of it. Perhaps
after a while they will be able to do so, but
in the meantime they should take more
outdoor exercise in other WAYS. A leisurey
stroll on a pleasant day is not as mucL as
nature demands, and great many women
do not take that A brisk and gradually
heightened walk would be greatly benefi-

One Term of Six Years.

/ Since the election, the question of ex-
tending thepre ideltial term, and OF MAKING
the President ineligible for reelection, Is
being discussed quite generally. A term
of six years seems to find general favor
among those who want change.
1t is interesting to note that some Of the
trainers of the constitution favored six
years term. Considerable difficulty was
experienced in filing the blank for the
presidential term. Some members Of the
convention advocated three years, others
seven, and others eight, while one o. two
preferred fifteen or twenty years, rath r
than give the President more than one
term. Seven years was agreed on, with
clause debarring the incumbent from re-
election, but this clause was stricken out
afterward, and that led to a reconsidera-
ton Of the entire matter. Six years was
substituted, and finally it was agreed that
the term should be four years,
One of the arguments presented in favor
of single term of six years is a very strong
one, if It can be sustained. 1t is that dur
ing the presidential campaign of this year
the commerce of the country fell off $500
ness for the four months of the campaign
would have amounted to s., 900, 000,000 if
not interrupted, and that by reason of the
excitement and uncertainty attendant upon
the election it was diminished 10 per cent
1t Is doubtful, however, if this estimate of
the loss can be sustained. The reports of
the chief commercial agency of the country
indicated that business was injured very
little, if any.
Other reasons given for change are that
under one term OF six years the President
would not be tempted to use his power to
secure a denomination, and that any policy
he might mark out for the good of the peo-
pie, as, for instance. Mr.. Cleveand's tariff
reform policy could be thoroughly ex-
planned and understood before another cleo
ton.
On the other hand, it is contended that
the effect of presidential campaigns up n
business is not so great as it was; that under
the existing system the President is put on
his good behavior, so to speak, and made to
feel that ii denomination depends on the
success of his administration, and that a
term longer than four years would make
the presidency prize too valuable for the
public good, and would lengthen the cam
paign
1t is not an easy matter to secure the
passage by congress of bill amending the
constitution. Numerous bills of the kind
have been introduced, and some of them
have had in view change of the presiden-
tial term, but those that have been raised
and ratified are very few.

An Interesting Theory.

w III tuere De another famine IN EgyDtg
Has a tributary of the Nile beel diverted
from its course so as to prevent the irriga-
ton Of that country
The chief tributary of the Nile is the
Atbara river, which furnishes most of the
slime which makes Egypt fertile. On the
overflow of the Nile the Egyptians depend
for subsistence. The overflow never fails
1t is one of the wonders of physical geog-
raphy that it occurs, at about the same
hight and within few hours Of the same
time, year by year. However, the country
cannot become thoroughly irrigated unless
the river remains above certain point for
several months after the overflow. l. has
fallen below that point, and is still falling.
Sir Samuel Baker, a we!l-known exp!or
in Egypt, has curious theory concerning
the matter. 1t is this The natives of the
interior of Africa, becoming jealous of En-
glands increasing power over Egypt, have
caused the low Nile, by damm'ng and de-
fiecting the Atbara, which is dry from
March to June of each year, aud have
turned the Atbara toward the Red sea,
its waters becoming absorbed in the
intervening desert, or else reaching that
body of water. Says he: II do not state
positively that tho actual cause Of the
present low Nile is the DETECTION of the
river, but | think it highly probable and
distinctly possible. / have seon a spot, $50
miles from the mouth of the Atbara, where
the river might be detected without diff
Guilty and forced toward the Red sea. This
would be an engineering feat well within
native ca acity.n
The idea of detecting the river is not
new one with Sir Samuel Baker From
lS4S to 1871 DR.. Beke of England published
a number ot articles explaining the posi-
bility of preventing in that way the irriga-
ton of Egypt, and in the middle ages the
belief is said to have prevailed that the
King of Abyssinia was paid large sum on
his promise not TO defect the river. Friar
Jordanu5, in 1920 estimated that the sum
was 500, 900 ducat;.
Sir Samuel Baker asserts that the posi-
bility of a DETECTION was known III
Biblical days, aud he quotes several script
ural passages to prove the assertion. For
instance: And the land of Egypt shall be
deso.ate and waste, and they snail know
bHdb 4 olAi blAN iACt " bSNoNoV iAC ihNi Sdltf
The river is mine, and have made it. Be-
hold, therefore, | am against thee and
against thy rivers, and will make the land
of Egypt utterly waste from the tower of
Syene unto the border of Ethopian Sir
Samuel says: "This is a curious allusion
geographically, as the local disturbance is
mentioned as between Syene and Ethiopia,
which would imply an interference with the
Atbara river
Another theory is that, as wa, alleged to
have been the case in 1868 and 1874. the
Nile has become naturally damned with
weeds. causing the formation of lakes.
Whether tho one or the other theory is
correct, or whether both are incorrect, the
fact remains that terrible suffering would
follow the failure OF the Nile to irrgate
Egypt.

The Republican Programme.

The republican leaders are almost
unanimous in expressing the opinion that
! the tariff must be reformed. 1t is evident
that they see the necessity for a reduction
of the tariff, and they propose, therefore, to
! reduce it.
| Ex-Gov Alger of Michigan, says: with a
republican President, House and Senate. the
! party cannot escape any responsibility for
he manner in which the government is
conducted The party is entirely willing to
assume the responsibility, and l am Of
opinion that one of its first duties will be TO
revise the tariff. l am in favor OF
thorough revision, commencing at the first
article on the list and going straight through
TO ne end
Mr. William Walter Phelp', who will
probably be in Gen. Harrison's cabinet,
says: Il look upon democratic gains in the
west as a protest against the present IN
cqualities of the tariff. TEey wish to sea
these corrected. The present victory will
eHtrench the republicans in power for four
years, certainly. and twenty-four years if
they adjust the inequalities of tae tariff. If
this be not done, | think democratic
victory will follow in 1892"
Mr. Chauucey Depew, who was candi
date for the nomination which Gen.
Harrison got, says: 81 cannot tell what
the whole party favors, but | think that
there will be a revision Of the tariff in
CAPABILITIES. The tariff must be revised"
The leading republican newspaper Of the
west, the Chicago Tribune, says: Gen.
Harrlson believes in and Insists upon the
reduction of the tariff needed to stop the
accu nulation of treasury surplus, and
which can be made without impairing the
Jus. protection of American industries"
There is no occasion for further quota
tons. The organs and leaders are Of the
same opinion-they ell say that the tariff
must be reformed. What the republican
party will do is this: 1t will reform the
tariff pretty nearly on the line marked out
by the Mills bill, and it will dc it because
il is shrewd enough to see that the people
are in favor of a reform of that kind, and
that if it does not reduce the tariff and cut
down the surplus the democratic party vii!
be returned to power in 1892 Its aim
will be to make such reduction
of the tariff that the democrats
will be deprived of the tariff reform issue.
| 1t will have a difficult task to perform, be-
! cause it will have to ovorco ne the opposi-
ton OF its friends, the monopolies and
! trusts, but il viii make an extraordinary
effort to accomplish it rather than let the
! democrats have tde chance of getting con-
| troll Of the government again, on the tariff
! reform issue, four years hence. 1t doesn't
| care so much for consistency as it does for
| success
