THE PRESIDENTS CABINET.
1t was Originally Com "ossd of Only Fly
Members.

1t was Originally Com osed of Only Five
Members.
An effort will be made during the next
Congress- to have the number of cabinet
officers increased to nine. The PROPOSE
ton being agitated is to create a cabinet
department of commerce and industry.
The first cabinet, that of Washington.
consisted Of five members: The secre--
tary of state was paid $500 year. and
the Others $4,000 each. War and navy
formed one department. and there was
no department of the interior or of agri-
culture. The first increase in the num-
Der of cabinet officers was under Presi-
dent Jefferson. who had secretary of
the navy and secretary of war. instead
of the two offices being one. The num-
Der remained at six until President Tay-
lor's term, when secretary of the in.
terror was added. just before the close
of President Cleveland's first term the
department of agriculture was estab-
lished and Il secretary of agriculture was
created. Prior to that there had been a
commissioner of agriculture.
The salaries of tho cabinet officers
have been increased from time to time

During the first three or four admins.
trations of the United States the cab
inets were not composed exclusively of
men who agreed in politics. Washing
toms administration was kept in a state
of turmoil by the disagreements between
Hamilton and Jefferson. until finally the
cabinet was broken up. Madison. John
Adams and Jackson had much trouble
with their cabinets. Madison had seven

terms: jackson had nineteen and Grant
had tWenty-one. 1t HAS been a rare

Woman and Her Mission.

Once women taught their daughters
housekeeping and sewing from stern prin-
ciple, and made it neither beautiful nor
attractive. Then housekeeping went out
Of fashion: rFeather-headed boys mar
ried trivial girls, and began to make a
home without the first gleam of knowl-
edge as to how the thing should be done.
The foolish little wife knew not how
to cook or sew. The foolish little hus-
band said he was glad of it-he didn't
want his wife to wear herself out in the
kitchen; servants could do such things.
So they hired servants more ignorant
than themselves, and the last state of
that man was worse than the first. Chill
dren came to them. That was the most
pitiful part of all. a house may be
badly managed and ignorantly cared for
and people don't die of it, or become
warped and crippled but the soul of a
child, to say nothing of the helpless lit
tie body, can be ruined utterly through
the responsibility of the criminally r.
.norant people to whom the poor little
things are sent. The ignorance was SO
dense and deep-searching that they new
er knew that: they were ignorant. But

Please keep your eye on young Carrot
A. Hobart. Jr. You will hear from him
again. Don't jump at the conclusion,
either. that it will be because his father
is vice-president Of these United States.
Young Mr.. Hobart is not doing business
yerely for himself, and it is no stretch
ing of the truth to say that he is making
Il noise in the world, because he has gone
into the electric bell business.
Young Mr.. Hobart's age is just -
years. He got the electric-bell idea
about year ago, when full-fedged
electrician rugged up the bells in his
fathers house. After the job was all
complete, the story goes in Paterson,
young . Hobart 9 rip2ed them out. and put
them all back again after his own ideas
1t was observed by the Hobart family
that young Garry was plunged in deep
thought Oh the trip to Washington. He
said Muffin when they asked what
was the matter or if he was sick. and it
was noticed that as soon as he laid eye
upon Maj Mckinley he frightened per-
ceptibly.
1t was on Thursday when he was pre-
sented, and after the ceremony he sided
up to his father
Mr.. Mckinley wouldn't hire me to keep

laughing, and after patting the boy on
the head he went over to talk to Stephen
b. Elkins. AS soon as he was out of
range Garry watched his chance and
slipped over towards the President
Pretty soon he spoke to him, and after
listening for a moment with a look of
incredulity the President began to smile
Then Garry retreatcd with broad grin
and the President moved off laughing
softly to himself.
Late in the afternoon the President
came up to Mr. Hobart.
Your boy he said, has made formal
application to keep the bells in the white
house in repair during my administra
tion''
And then the two fell to laughing
heartily.
But it was no joke to Garry. He was
serious. 1t was business with him. But
there is some doubt whether he will get
the appointment. because the President
will probably have the front-door bel

The difficulty of obtaining satisfactory
figures bearing on this question is greater
since there are many items entering into
the computation that depend ON the Pc

For instance, one company might strive
to keep tho average temperature of its
cars at 20 degrees. while another might
regard 40 degrees as the proper temper

The Ou.er Cause of q Caye-in.

The theory that the accident at wy
onling few days ago was caused by the
oncning of a pothole is confirmed by the
engineers in charge. w. +. Dodge and
j. H. Hughes.
In some remote geological age. when
this region was overlaid by glaciers. Il
depression was formed by the water and
loose stones. and the latter, eddying round
and round. wore a cylindrical shaped hol-
low in the rock, extending from the top
of the latter to the bottom. There is
no way of foreteling the presence of the
potholc. and Il chamber may be driven
directly beneath it. without knowing.
Such. evidently. was the case in wy
omjng. and when the thin layer of the
rock between the bottom of the pothole
and the too of the chamber gave away
the uuicksand above poured in. letting
down an acre or two of the surface.
McSsrS. Dodge and Hughes have
reached point 100 feet distant from
the face of the chamber, and found the
little round stones, which are indisput-
able evidence of the pothole theory.
They also found rounded pieces of con-
glomcratc. or what the miners call ''pud-
ding stone.
These pockets of quicksand are found
occasionally in Wyoming valley though
they are not always potholcs. In some
instances the coal measures and other
rocks seem to have been scooped out in
great quantities, either by glacial ero-
Sion or by some upheaval. Mine In
spector Williams states that such mass
of uuicksand was encountered at Nanti-
coke. and in such quantity and fluidity
that it ran 5000 feet in the gangways,
drowning twenty-eight men.-Wilkes-

Electric Car Heaters.

1t is very difficult to get safe and sure
figures on the cost of electrically heating
cars in ordinary winter weather. A rail
way superintendent in Illinois says he
has done it for less than 1 cent per car
hour, but in making this estimate he has
probably lost sight of some of the subor-
dinate factors, cost of labor, wear and
eliminated from the reckoning. Much
nearer the mark is the test of a Phila-
delphia engineer. His 16-foot cars had
four heaters under the seats, connected
in series, and having a resistance of IS
ohms. For each car 31h amperes of so
volt current was required. Tracing this
back, the value of the fuel was 1.3 cents
in the freroom. Charging this item
with it's share of generaI expense of labor
and maintenance, made the cost Of heat
ing the cars about ~ cents per car per

WHEN CANDIDATES WERE THICK
In the Early Days Statesmen Wanted to
be Vice-Tresiuent.

When Washington was first elected
President he received the whole of the
electoral vote-G9. The constitution re-
Qu;reu the electors to vote by ballot for
two persons the one receiving the lesser
vote to become yice-presilent On this
account there were eleven names balloted
for for president. John Adams re-
ceived 81 votes and was made vice-presi
dent; John Jay received 3 votes; John
Rutledge of South Carolina and r. H.
Harrison of Maryland, 6 apiece; John
Hancock +. George Clinton 3, Hunting
ton of Connecticut and Milton of Geor-
gia, ? each, and Armstrong and Telfair
of Georgia and Benjamin Lincoln of
Massachusetts, l each.
Washington was also unanimously
elected in his second term, receiving 1872
electoral votes. Of the candidates for
Nice-President, Adams received II votes,
Clinton so, Jefferson 4 and Aaron
Burr /.
At the third election Adams received
Il votes out of 1870 and Jefferson IS,
becoming the formers Vice-President
George Washington, against his protest,
received two votes for Vice President,
Of the other candidates Aaron Burr got
70 votes. George Clinton I. John jay
5, Samuel Adams Is, Ellsworth of Con-
necticut IL: Iredell and Johnston of
North Carolina 3 and 2 respectively and
Patrick Henry 2.
In the next election the Republicans
concentrated their strength more on the
modern lines. jefferson and Burr each
received 73 votes, and Adams and c.. G..
Pinchney. for the F'ederalists, received
respectively 65 and 81 votes The cleo
ton was thrown into the House to de-
termine who should be President, Jeffer-
son winning by a vote of ten states to
four, and Burr becoming Vice President.
Meanwhile, to prevent the recurrence
of this complication, the constitution was
amended to. the form in which it stands
today, and the electors Of 1904 voted for
both President and Vice-President JEFF
ferson and Clinton won with 1852 votes
each. G. G. Pinckney and Rufus King
receiving but Il votes apiece.

The accident saved the countess from
having to preside ut meeting on
"Wednesday evening Of the Ladies' Ken
mel association, where, according to all
accounts, there was quite an exciting
time. The Hon. Mrs. Bayley, half. Sis
ter Of Baron Inchiquin, took the presi-
dency, and the financial statement led
to bitter discussion and obnoxious per-
sonhlities especially aimed at the chair
woman whenever she attempted to re-
store order. The chairwoman finally dis
solved into tears and vacated the chair.
The whole meeting, lasting several hours,
was marked by unpleasant incidents.

Coal per ton.
Made in Twenty Minutes.

One Of the big Lynn shoe shops made
a pair Of ladies' boots for the Paris ex-
hibition of 1889 in twenty-four minutes.
A notary public followed the operation
watch in hand. For thit feat the pair
of shoes went through the usual routine
of the shop, but at exceptional speed
fifty-seven different operators and forty
two machines were concerned in the
work, which required twenty-six pieces
of leather, fourteen pieces of cloth,
twenty-f0ur buttons, twenty-fo.r button
holes. eighty lacks, twenty nails, two
box-toes, two steel shanks and twenty
yards of thread Since that time the di-
vision of labor upon pair of shoes has
become still greater, and there is a
larger number of machines employed,
with the result that pair of ladies'
boots can now be made complete in this
factory inside of twenty minutes

The Dog and His Lovers.

have met persons who have thought
their duty to dog was done when he
had been fed and watcrcd. And l once
heard a very conscientious person say,
when spoke of loving dog, something
as eXtrayagant as this: That you owed
love to God, not to brutes, and that it
was dishonor to God to give it any
where else.
1t IS hopeless to argue with such minds.
1t would be as idle trying to convince
them of even so much as that the very
seensitiveness of an animal to affection or
rldicule proved its capacity for other
emotions than those aroused by hunger
and thirst as it was for Calico to prove
to his contemporaries the movement of
celestial orbs.
One can only feel what one is capable
OF feeling ones self, not that which the
more highly-endowed neighbor is capable
OF experiencing. And sometimes it
would seem seem that nothing shows more
clearly how varied in depth are mans
capacities for feeling than his attitude to
animals. His susceptibility to tender
emotions, like his tendencies to the
maadlin, the extravagant. or the cruel,
arc all proved by his speech and action
to animals. One sees this any and ev-
cry day at the dog show. One certainly

nothing but love each other and their

one possessed of sentiment, who watched

The world, indeed, would only be the
poorer without dogs, or the love and sym
pathy men and brutes feel toward each
other. The good results of our annual
dog shows are not to be found only in
the perfection of breeds. but in a better
understanding between dog and MASTER
