Itcosts the people ofthe United States
sl14,s65 year Tor q chief executive.
His salary is 100000 and found" as
our western neighbors say. The presi-
dents finding is rather comprehensive,
covering about every possible require
ment of family. His private secre-
tary, the clerks. doorkeepers, messer-
gers and steward and three other serv-
ants cost US s33, SOS year. Then there
is a contingent fund OF 5000 year
which the president may use according
to his discretion.
In furniture aad repairs to the white
house the sum OF $4,000 more. to be
used by the direction OF the president,
is provided by the nation, and is Away
expended. For fuel alone $1,000 is al
lowed, and for necessary repairs to the
greenhouse there is $4,000.
Altogether the presidential finding"
annually amounts to the snug sum Of
s64. SOS, nearly $4,000 year more than
his salary. The two aggregate STA
s6o. This is an imposing aggregate,
but it is small compared with other
Presidents. The president OF the French
republic receives as salary 100000 a
year. s32, ,4s0 for contingent purposes
and handsome house, rent free. So we

A COUNTS VISION.

pathic Perception.

can vouch for the truth of the fol-
lowing interesting case of clairvoy-
ancr. says IonGou Mail writer: On
August l2 Young man named l.ivio
Cibrarlo. belonging 10 one OF the mosi
ancient families Of Turin. while AT
tempting 10 climb the peak of Roc
cianelone. in the Maritime Alps lost
his way, and on The following morning
"A search party found his body. terribly
crushed and bruised, al the bottom OF
u deep crevasse.
Count Cibrario. the unfortunate
young mans father. who was at Turin
and knew nothing of his SON S exIieui
tion to the Roccia me lone. on he night
of the accident aroused the rest of the
family, announcing with tears that
Liyio was dead. He had seen him dis
tinctly. he said. blood flowing from his
battered head. and had heard these
words spoken in a voice of terrib BILE
anguish:
Father, l slipped down precipice
and broke my head, and i am dead
quite dead"
The other members of the family
tried in vain to persuade the poor count
that the ghastiy vision was nothing bur
a nightmare. and the bereaved father
continued in a state of anxiety border
ing upon distraction till the morning
when the official confirmation of the
terrible accident reached him.
This case OF tclegraphN, or whatever
name may be given to similar phenom
ena. is considered all the more remarka
able, as Count Cibrnrio is "A very quiet
matter-of-fact person. and has never
suffered from disorders of the nervous
system or dabbled in spirtualism.

ODDITIES OF DIET.
Different Articles of Food Consid-
cred Edible by the People
of Various Nations.

Among the various nations there have
been great differences as to articles con
sidered edible, and. of course, amcua
such as could be procured. The Tar
tars, Marco Polo says. ate horses, cam.
c,s, dogs and drank mares milk. The
scythans also, according to HeroGotus,
drank mares milk. In China birds
nests. rats and snails are eaten. The
edible birds nests are found in the Nico
bars, cluster of islands in the BAY of
Pengal. These nests. built by the Mic
obar swallows. form one of the princi-
Isl exports of the islands. The Greer
landers depend largely on seals. Tie
ancient Germans. according to Tacitus,
ate wild apples. flesh and cheese. IN
Abyssinia the natives cut steak from
tie live COW, according to Bruce, and
ate the meat warm with the natural
heat, says Lippincott's.
Among the Egyptians near Elephan-
tine the crocodile was an article of food

a mumbled word, interrupted with the
question; What did you say? what

A GRAND VALLEY editor who
has recently become a papa, takes
on in this way:
We've got kid at our house, a
funny little cuss,
A chubby little infantile geran-
ium;
The neighbors say in one respect
it much resembles US
1t hasn't any hair upon its cram
ium.
While walking with it in our arms
upon the frigid floor,
And lullabies from out our
thorax bubble,
We feel that when it leaves us for
the bright elysian shore
1t will not be from pulmonary
trouble.

The German army dogs are SO trained
that when they find q dead body they
set up prolonged bowling. If no one
comes they take the dead mans cap or
some small article, and with this in
their teeth go on hunt for their train

man is wounded he gives his cap to the
dog, and the same object il

The most curious European oath is
administered in Norway. The witness

soul of the witness. and the smaller to
