Cougress,and which, In that document,
was characterized rs dangerous limo
walton. Several prominent citizens OF
Michigan have resolved to tsst the CON
s,i,u,ionality Of the law by taking IL
to the Supreme Court OF the state.
The bill is simple. Il provides that
one chctor shall he chosen Ia each
congressional district and one from
each half Of the State. For tho purpose
Of elccting the two electors last mem
toned the State Ia divided BY a line
drawn north aud south. Ca this point
hinges the question Of constitutional
ity. IL ia claimed that 10y this process
the people are dcfrauied Of their
political rights In not being permitted
TO vote for the two Senatorial electors
on the slmetickei. The contention Is
made that electors at large mus, be
voted for by the people Of the whole
state or else they cannot be electors n,
large.
The Constitution Of the United
States seems quite plain with regard 10
tho qurs,ion Of presidential electors.
II ayf: "Each State shall appoint, In
such manner az the Legislature thereof
may direct, number ofclectoFs, equal
TO the whole number Of Senators aud
Representatives TO which tho State
may ns entitled In tho g ongrosl, but
no Senator or Representative, or per
sou holding an office OF trust or prof I
under the United States, shall be ap-
pointed an oloctof."
This Ia all there Is on the matter, AND
II looks az II the State were sole
arblter as TO the manner Of choosing
electors, provided the number cor
responds with that Of the Senators and
Representatives Ia Congress.
The Constitution further says; "rh'
Congress may determine the time o
choosing tho electors and the day OF
which they shall give thelr votes
which day shall be the same through
out the United States"

81 am satisfied that Cottolene is
perfect substitute for lard, and is
very superior to it for all cooking
purposes. Biscuits made from it are
much lighter; pie-crust moredelicate
and not so greasy as that made from
lard. Oysters, Croquettes, &C., fried
lit reach the perfection which cooks
desireto have them-brown and dry,
and free from grease. Cottolene can
be used in fine cakes instead of but
ter where lard would injure their
favor. Think Cottolene more health
full being so much less greasy and
consequently more digestible.
Other testimonials to the
same effect come from all

HER LIFE SAVED BY A swooN.

The circus gave Tecumseh, Ala, ex-
citement enough on recent Sunday to
last for year. Forepaugh's show trav-
eled on four trains. AS it is against
the Georgia laws to run through this
State on Sunday it was decided to stop
at Tecumseh and feed the animals and
rest At all the stations there were
large crowds and at Tecumsh there were
several hundred when the last train APP
preached. Asitwas slowing down one of
the ferocious lions managed to tear off
the door of his cage. Hector, which was
the brute's name, thrust his head out
right in the faces of group of negroes
who were standing on the platform.
They could not have been worse scared
if the evil one had dropped down among
them. Hector made leap with open
mouth into the crowd. Such scatter
ing and such yelling were never seen or
heard in Alabama. Some of the negroes
fell down in abject fright, but the most
of them struck off for home on hard
run. A dozen tried to climb telegraph
poles. One man sprang down well.
Hector lit on his feet, but rolled over
and oyer. When he got up there was
hardly man, woman or child within so
yards. One woman, though, who had
tainted was lying near the lion. With
one bound he was on her, his ugly teeth

people who were looking on were horri-

there was no one near with pistol or
rifle. To attempt to rescue her would
be almost certain death. To the aston
ishment of every one the beast, instead
of mangling the woman, simply shifted
the body, turned it over with his paws,
and after cycling it suspiciously walked
off leisurely. He thought that the
woman was dead. Hector was recap
tured and recaged without trouble

SOUNDING JARS IN CHURCHES.

One of the most singular features of
the older churches in England and west
ern Europe is the presence in the walls
of large numbers of jars. They are i'm
bedded in the masonry, with the neck
turned toward the interior of the church
and the mouth opening into the audience
room. For long time the openings
were supposed to be holes in the walls,
but a closer examination, number of
years ago, on one or two of these old
buildings disclosed the fact that the open
ings were the necks of jugs, and led to no
little speculation as to why they had been
placed there. All old churches-that is
to say, churches erected from the ele-
venth to the seventeenth centuries-have
them, and in some they are present in
great numbers. A church in Leeds,
England, has over fifty, while this num-
Der is considerably exceeded in some of
the old French churches, nearly 200
having been counted in the cathedral of
AngOuleme, in France. The explanation
of their presence is easy. They are
placed in the walls with view to bet
tering the acoustic properties of the
building. The idea is as old as Vitru-
vius, who, in a work on the Roman
theatre, advises that earthenware jars be
placed in the walls for the purpose of in
creasing the resonance of the building.
In several Roman structures such jugs
have been found, used in the way after
ward adopted by the architects of the
middle ages. As to the efficiency of the
device, its employment is open to ques-
ton. For increasing the acoustic pro-
perties of the rooms the jugs are probably
useless, but no one can certainly say that
they are so until the experiment has been
tried of constructing two room with jugs
in the walls of one and the walls of the
conditions would determine the question

TIE LAXATIVE GUN DROP.

The Laxative Gum Drop IS a new
form Of laxative that has just been
placed upon the market. Inform and
taste it resembles the gum drop Of the
confectioners, but it has no medicinal
taste. II IS however an effective but
pleasant laxative without gripping or
discomfort. These drops can Be carried
in the pocket or the valise without
danger or injury. They can be given
to children without their suspecting
that they contain medicine, and they
will never find this out from the
taste, although they will from the
effect. In short they contain the ele-
ments Of perfect laxative without
any Of the unpleasant accompaniment
that usually surround this class Of
remedies. There IS no spoon, no
bottle, no liquid, no unpleasant re-
minders that there is such thing a
medicine. They can be taken at any
time. Ask your druggist for the Laxa
tive Gum Drop, and If he will mol
