The new election law now pending
in the Legislature, il passed, will
revolutionize the registration system
and, in a measure, the mode of APP

duties of the election supervisors and

The proposed bill covers eighty

ton OF three supervisors, one to be
from the party not in power, whose
salaries shall be s75 year and in
counties of more than fifteen polling
places the county commissioners may
increase the salary to $3.50 each. The
supervisors. who are now appointed
by the Governor and get S25 each a
year, are TO be provided with an
office and, it the county commissioners
think advisable, may nave clerk or

At a very recent date, in many parts
Of our country, it was a sign OF bad
luck for a hen to row.. just why, ia
difficult to trace. Perhaps because il
was considered the assumption by a
female of masculine prerogatives. When
ever a hen dared attempt it, she was
run down by the united efforts Of all
the children on the premises, and her
head paid the forfeit.
A recent traveller in Kentucky writes
that while visiting at the country home
Of a friend a hen was heard to crow.
Instantly the cry was raised: "Catch
her Kill herl' He interposed in the
hens behalf by reminding his hosts
that this was an ''age Of rights" and
she was therefore not guilty of any
wrongdoing. They scoffed at his hetero-
doxy, and the clamor that followed pre-
pared him for the return Of the pursuers
bearing the head of the foolish fowl

Lord Rose and Hi. Work.

In his earlier years Lord Rosse used
to be a diligent observer with the great
telescope which was completed in the
year 1916. But I think those who knew
Lord Rose well will agree that it was
more the mechanical processes incidental
to the making Of the telescope which
engaged his interest than the actual OBJ
seryations with the telescope when it
was completed Indeed one who knew
him we'll said he believed Lord Roses
special interest in the great telescope
ceased when the last nail had been
driven into it. But the telescope was
never allowed to lie idle, for Lord Rose
always had about him some enthusiastic
young man whose delight it was to en-
ploy to the uttermost the advantages Of
his position in exploring the wonders Of
the sky.-Good Words.

A Princes GIFT.

The imperial princes have an English
governess, whom they look up to with
reverential awe, though notwithstand-
ing, or perhaps for that very reason,
they are greatly attached to her. a
short while ago this lady s birthday was
the occasion Of sundry presentations
from her little pupils and their august
parents. Among the valuable tokens OF
liberality the governess noticed an in
significant looking cardboard box.
Whatever is thisY" she said as she
took it up in her hand.
Here Prince Oscar drew himself up
to his full height and replied, s.That is
from mel"
but it is empty" remarked the as
tonished recipient.
And the little prince replied: Eyes,
it is empty now, but tomorrow papa is
going to pull my first tooth, and the
box is to put it in. Then I'll give it to
you"
Next day, sure enough, the little
man, his face beaming with delight,
presented the tooth to his teacher, who
now ears it asa trinket on her bangle.

An interesting experiment of INSTALL
ing a telephone by trotting cavalry was
recently successfully undertaken by
some Prussian uhlans between Berlin
and Potsdam. Two sets Of one officer
and two noncommissioned officers pro-
ceeded in the early morning from Ber-
lin to Potsdam. Each set wal equipped
with q complete telephone apparatus,
which one Of the men carried in a
leather case on his chest, besides the
requisite quantity Of thin wire. The
end Of the wire was connected with the
respective towns telephone station,
and the wire was by means Of a fork
fixed at the end Of the lanca. thrown
over the tops Of the trees along the road.
As each kilometer of wire was thus sus-
pended a halt was made and it was as
certained whether there was connection
with the station. A new kilometer Of
wire was then connected with the for
mer, and on went the men. The two
sets met at Teltow. The wires, having
been respectively tested with their re-
spective stations, were connected, and
telephone connection between Berlin
and Potsdam was established. The dis
lance is about 20 miles, and the whole
thing was done in about four hours

Of Greek in Italy, carried Greek lore

his Greek grammar was the standard

Of France as late as 1926, but it be-
