A ROLAND FOR HIS OLIVER.

A girl has heaps of trouble with her complexion and her front hair, but she doesn't have to have a razor 90 travelling over her face every day.
 A girl carries her life in her hands when she tries to get within a rod of 6 bargain counter, but she can walk along the street in peace. Half a do1on bootbfacks don t yell, Shine, sir; shineg' at her.
 A girl has to fold her hands and wait for man to ask her to go to the theater with him. but when she does go she has the comfort of making the man spend a lot of money. That consoles her to a cer- tain extent.
 girl has to entertain stupid callers, whether she wants to or not, because so- ciety demands 1t A man has to dance with girls who can t even walk gracefully because if he did not his hostess would consider him rude.
 girl may go nearly distracted when she feels that the band of her dress skirt has come Unfastened, but think of the misery of the man when the buttonhoIe in the neckband of his shirt rips open and lets his collar and necktis slide up to hia ears.

THE SIX PRESIDENTS.
RESIGNATION SEEMS A SPECIALITY
 WITH FRENCH EXECUTIVES.

All Have Been Compelled to Resign Ex.
 cept Sadi-Carnot, Who Was AssAssinated.
 The Presidents Powerless Position When
 AssaIled-Career of President Faure.
 The United States has had 24 presi- dents, none of whom resigned. France has had six, all of whom resigned ex. cept one, who was assassinated. There are several reasons for this difference of procedure. One is that the seven years term of the French president gives him more time to become unpopular than the four years term of the president of the United States. The main reason, how ever, is to be found in the constitution of each country. In France the president is the creature of the legislative branch of the government He is elected by tho senate and chamber, the life of his cabi- net depends upon the favor of these bodies. and if he incurs their i'll will and desires to appeal to the country for vindication he can only do so with the consent of the senate. If the senate is against him, he must resign. In the United States the president is elected by the people, instead of the legislative body, congress has little control over him, his veto practically allows him tc dictate what congress shall do in the way of legislation, and resigning is about the last act he ever contemplates-

HE press of the country is under obli- grtions to the law adviser of the postoffice department ut at~Tashington for tolerably clear and explicit ruling as to what sort of information is mailable under the anti lottery law As it affects the newspapers. Defining just what is and what is not 6 lotttIy. it is held that the awarding of a prize to the person guessing nearest the number of seeds in a watermelon would be lottery. though the guessing of weight of a melon would not constitute a lottery it the guess were made after the melon ad been lIIted. All this is inter- esting and instructive, so far as it goes. but it does not by any means exhaust the subject. The newspapers must still grops in darkness through a vast and varied assortment of cOntriVances for coaxing the money out of the peoples pockets for charitable and uncharitable purposes. as well as for increasing A poor newspapers circulation.
