THE GOVERNOR GENERAL
Functions and Prerogatives o.
Caneda's Chief Executive.
He Il the Queens Personal Representa-
tive In the Dominiop-His Position
Toward the Government and
the Cabinet.

The governor general is the embodi-
ment of the connection between the
dominion of Canada and the imperial
government. He is appointed by the
British ministry for the time being for
a term of five years. The last gov
ernor general was Lord Stanley, of
Preston, who has become, on the death
of his brother, the earl of Derby.
Lord Derby has now been succeeded
By the earl of Aberdeen, a nobleman
who is favorably known in the United
States by his prolonged visits TO this
country. His wife is public-spirited
woman who has materially assisted in
preparing one department of the Co
lumb ian exhibition.
To couple governor generals wife
with himself as of public influence is
not unreasonable. While he is the
queens official representative, she is,
as much as he. the queens social rep
resentative. It is from the social posi-
ton of the pair that much of their in
huence proceeds.
Her example IS quoted and followed
in the dominion. Upon the quality Of

Good Advice to Young Women.

There is nothing SO certain to make
you disliked as to tell your troubles to
friend. Prosperity means friendship,
but once you take it into your head to
retail your woes you will soon discover
that your company is not wanted, and
the people who once bowed to you in
pleasant recognition now walk on the
other side of the way with a cold and
stony glare that looks over your head
or through your body, but never meets
your eyes as Of yore. The people are
not hard-hearted that turn the cold
shoulder to you. They are only averse
to knowing of any more misery than
they already have to bear. We every
one of us have our little trou bles. In
some cases they grow to be very large
ones, and it isn't pleasant to have the
dark side continually thrust before US
just when we begin to feel bit COM

Your mother. your father and your
husband are the truest sympathizcrs.
and, outside of them, you are certain
to be soon called bore if you persist

Take Care of Your Eyes.

The way people abuse their eyes is
amazing. They try them. strain them
and overtaS them in all manner of
ways. And when their eyes begin to
weaken with ill-usage and age they
are too proud to give them the aid of
glasses, which they crave. Furrowed
cheeks, sallow compilations and white
hair can be hidden under enamel and
rouge and dyes, but there is no fash
ionable nostrum that can cover up
weakness of eyes. Spectacles proclaim
the defect which they mitigate, and
are looked upon by those whose minds
are rs weak as their eyes as badge of
intirmity. and sooner than saddle their
noses with them they saddle their lives
with semi-blindness.

HIGH SPEED ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE

drawbars are set 9 feet from the top
four 44-inch wheels.
Two electric motors, one at each
axle, provide the power, the motors be-
ing gearless and supported upon spiral
springs having their base on the side
frames of the truck. This arrange
ment gives the wheels a certain free
dom of movement irrespective of each
other, which permits them to adjust
themselves to any unevenness of the
track, making the locomotive ride
easier and diminishing the wear and
tear upon the tracks and tie motors.
The motor fields are solid iron cast
ings and the hollow field spools are
bolted to them. The ironclad arma-
lures have each separate windings, i'm
bedded in a mica-lined slot in the
curved surface of the laminated iron
armature body.
The locomotive axles pass through
the hollow shafts upon which the arma-
lures are mounted. They rest in bear
ings of the motor frame and are con-
nected to the aXles by universal
couples, which allow of considerable
freedom of motion. The commutators
are of substantial construction and
each one has four sets of brushes.
1t is claimed that the series parallel
controller, which takes the place of the
throttle in the ordinary locomotive,
makes it possible to start and stop the
motor easier and with less straining
than is needed for the steam locomo-
tive, while the speed, by this arrange
ment, can be more readily controlled.
The truck, suspended from the jour
nal boxes, is constructed of heavy 1
beams and forms the foundation for
the locomotive cab, of sheet iron, of
symmetrical design, and so curved off
as to diminish the atmospheric resist
ance as far as possible.
The interior is finished in hard wood.
Two sliding doors are placed at each
side of the cab. and the windows are
so arranged as to permit of an unob-
structed view in all directions. There
is ample space in the cab for the mo-
torman's movements, and II affords
him considerably better protection
than that usually vouchsafed the
steam locomotive engineer.

wanted to send him to Vichy imme-
diately after he had recovered from his
latest sickness. The president de-
clined also to go to his usual summer
residence at Fontaine bleau before tho
closing of the chambers session. and
he decided to spend the time of his
convalescence in place quite near to
Paris, in order to be better able to
promptly attend to public affairs.

famous aqueduct of which can be seen
from the Paris gates. The Villas name,
"Mes Delices," is quite appropriate to
the admirable location and surround
ings of the place, on the border of the
forest, and which has a magnificent
view of the valley of the Seine. The
castle is not pretentious looking, but
comfortable, and the president has

now in the Rouergue, a southern dis

sion which makes Typographical sur

military map of France. The young
officer is SO busy at his work that no

the principal city Of the region, though

Lieut.. Carnot is of robust health and

know that their guest was the son of
