The Electoral College.

The electoral college was created
before the days Of national conven-
tions, when each state was supposed
to make its own choice and con-
ference of the representatives of each
state was necessary to determine the
choice of the whole. The electoral
college recognizes the individuality
of states in this way. The only prac-
tical benefit of the system now is
that in case of the death of candi-
date voted for at the election, as in
the case of Horace Greeley in 1872,
there is somebody charged with
power to select another man. If
Horace Greeley had been the major
ity candidate, the members of the
college would have chosen the presi-
dent.-Buffalo News.

In order to soften the heart of an
offended lover an Austrian maiden
has had herself photographed in a
coffin, dressed in grave clothes. So
far from the device being successful,
it hasdriven the young man out of his
mind, and indeed it strikes one that
she might have rendered herself
more attractive.
This is not, however, the object Of
a photograph. There is "A story of d
young gentleman who distorted his
features so horribly while his por-
trait was being taken that he fright
