sw!TzERLAND's SYSTEM.
Vested Not in One Man. But in Cabine
of Seven KeurcsentatiYe Citizens

Vested Not in One Man. But in n Cabinet
of Seven Representative Citizens.
Under the Swiss system the execu-
tive power is vested, not in presi-
dent. but in council or cabinet Of
seven, which holds Office for three
years. The council apportions the
department Of state among it's own
mem bers, "and the members of the
council have the right to speak and
make proposals in either house of
the federal legislature. but not to
vote When the measures proposed
by the Swiss minister's are defeated
in the legislature, they simply re-
turn to their desks and go on with
the business Of their departments, a
form of procedure which has stood
the test of experience. We have
therefore most satisfactory prece-
dent uEon the one vital point at
which we must depart from the
English model. The Swiss consti-
tuition, like our own, is federal; and
its federal legislature consists of two
chambers. The Swiss executive
council or cabinet hold for three
years instead of four; the Swiss
ministers possess the right to sit in
either house, to initiate legislation
and to debate, without the right TO
vote; and when the vote uuon meas
ures proposed by them is adverse,
they remain in Office until the end OF
their terms. -Hannis Taylor in North
American Review.

An Ample Fund OF Pleasure and Health
May be derived from an ocean voyage and for

legs on, as the sailor says, the abominable
qualms, begotten Of sea sickness, have usually
to be gotten over. Delicate people suffer, Of

but few sea travellers escape it. Against the
frightfnl nausea it produces, Hostet.er's Stom-

esteemed by tourists, commercial travellers,
yachtsmen and mariners. An ailment akin to
sea sickness often afflicts land travellers with
