THF boarl of supervisors have nothing whatever to do with the bal lots, which tn. law expressly states shall be sealed in an envelope with the names of the members of the cleo tien bnsrd in each precinct written across the seal, and that the clerk of the boari of supervisors shall keep sad ballots in such shape until six months shall have pa.sed, when they shall be burned without unsesling or in any way breaking the packages. If any contest is ma le ii must be com menced before the district court with in 40 days after the election. The contestant must state his gr''unds for . contest, which may be for any one of four r~a-ons, namely: Malcondnct on the part of a board of election udges or any member thereof; when the person elected was not eligible to the office at tke time Of election when bribery of any member of the eleciion board by the successful candidate Was made or attempted; on account of illegal votes. In case of the latter contest the contestant must state specifically the number of illegal votes cast and give the names of those per- sons who voted illegally to th- defend ant in the contest prior to the hearing of the case. It will be seen that the duties of the board of supervisors in c.nvassing returns are simply minis terial, and no. in the slightest manner of judicial nature. To make the fact more apparent that the board is simply a clerical body, Sec. of the chapter on canvsssing election returns. says:
 No declaration of he result, conn., mission oe certificate must he with held on aceornt of any defect or in- formalify in the return of sny election if |: cxa with rrasonahIe certainty he ascertained from -uch return what o6ice is intended and who is elected thsseto.

A VISIT FROM THE CIR.
It Causes an Endless Amount of Trouble

It Causes an Endless Amount of Trouble
 and vexatiou in Russia
 Many troubles and vexations were caused by visit which was paid the other day by the czar to the military camp at Izora- The latter place is a village on the Neva, about ten miles from St. Petersburg, and accessible by water or rail. On the occasion of the visit soldiers were placed on the rail- way. Not far from the city are a num- Der of mills, the workmen at which live on the opposite side of the line. going home daily for their meals. These workmen got to their work on Satur- day morning, but were not allowed to cross the line again the whole day, be ing obliged to go without their food or buy 1t in a public house. No traffic was allowed. Even people who had their own farm lands on the sides of the railway were forbidden to walk across. The trains from Moscow were stopped, and were sent of all within 8 quarter of an hour of each other in the evening. The river traffic was also entirely suspended.
 It can be readily imagined, writes a correspondent of the London Daily News. what discomfort such suspension of traffic occasioned. and it is only a Russian official who can see the good of it. On the way back the czar wanted a cup of tea, but owing to sudden jerk of the railway carriage the tea was up- set The next morning tso goes the story) the whole line between St. Petersburg and Izora was carefully searched by numbers of men. ordered to find out what jerked the czar's teacup! Every time the czar goes up and down to Peterhof the steamers have to be decorated, traffic is suspended on the river, and occasionally even the loading of steamers is stopped.

Extravacant Youths tl Their Teens Gen
 eraIiy the Brother of Chum.-
 The,frst beau appears along about when we are fourteen or fifteen. There have been, of course. many little boy admirer', but a writer in the Philadel- phia Times says the genuine gallant does not materialize until we put on long dresses and commence making ourselves up for young ladies, com prehensive phrase that all girls will understand. He is usually the brother of some especial chum of ours, and in this way we are enabled to see him more often than if we had no reason for going to his house. He is exceedingly bashful before people, but can talk a blue streak when we are alone. He squanders his allowance on ice cream, soda and caramels, and on rare occa- sions invites us to a church sociablc or concert. He is always one of the group of youths who wait outside the church or Slnday-school door, and he is the one always to escort us to our home on such occasions. We are leased unmerci- fully about him, and really enjoy it. though pretending to be fearfully in dignant and provoked about it. This sort of thing goes on until something happens, as some things have a way of doing. and either he goes away to col lcge or we leave for boarding school. or perhaps quarrel or change of resi- dence occurs: at any rate, years perhaps will roll away before we see bearded man who bears not the slightest resem- blance to the blushing. rosy-cheeked boy we called our first beau.

GREAT MAp OF THE .ss,-,a.
A ProAuetioa h Which An
 Nntions Arc to Take r

Nnttons Arc to Toke
 At the geographical congress Il. 2-. l.e a year ago Prof Penck proposed the publication of . map of the entire world on a uniform scale of one in |, ,OOO, 900, or about sixteen statute miles to the inch, the various nations to take part in the production of the map. The proposition was favorably entertained. and committee was appointed to take steps for its realization. The geog- raphers of various nations, on the whole. have received the idea with ia vor, and there seems to be no doubt that the map will be produced.
 Each sheet of the map, says the New York Sun. up to the GO degrees north latitude will embrace degrees in each direction. The more northern sheets will embrace 10 degrees of longitude. The representation of the whole earth, including the sea, will require 936 of these sheets, while the land alone may be shown on 769 sheets. It is pro- posed to give great attention to physical and political features. Dr. Ravenstein. the English mapmaker. says the rivers will be in blue anu the HILLS III ofOWu SOutDuT nuts will be drawn at elevations of 100, 300. 500 and i.20O meters, and the areas in- closed by them are to be tinted. 1t is expected that sheets which deal with countries already geographically sur veyed will be engraved on copper. The remaining sheets will probably be lith- ographed. The Greenwich meridian will be accepted for the entire map. and all attitudes are to be marked in meters. The official spelling of all countries using the Latin alphabet is to be re- tained. Other alphabets are to be trans liberated in ao>ordance with a system to be agreed upon, while names in un- written languages will be spelled theoretically. It is estimated that the cost of an edition of 1000 copies of this map, showing only the land surface. will be e957. l90, and as the sale of the l first edition at shillings a sheet would produce only s47s, ,595. the deficit would have to be made up by the governments concerned or by liberal private patrons. Prof. Ravenstein says he sees nothing Utopian in the scheme. Difficulties may arise as to the spelling of the names and the introduction of the meter, but the essential thing, to his mind. is the production of a map on a uniform scale.
