summer vacation in the north during
the hottest month in the year in
Washington. which Is famous for Its
intense heat, as has always been the
custom Of our Presidents and about half
the otficial population of the national
capital.
A President, who has weighty official
responsibilities, finds need of such resi-,
or at least the relief that one finds in a
cooler location. Each of the many
thousand employees Of the government
In Washington is allotted. without
loss of pay. thirty days vacation every
year. This Is government benevolence
and is never subject to partisan sneers,
for Democrats are included as well us
Republicans. We may add. also, that
one of the main reasons for President
Mckinley and Mrs. Mckinley going to
health resort, away from heated
capital, and not too far OF for the Ex-
ecutlve to be out of touch with official
duties. is, as everybody knows, the con-

the situation arising out of the killing
Of the despotlc Heureaux, who has
made the republic a farce, the leaders
OF the uprising will offer the presidency
to General Gomez, the hero Of the Gu

identified with San Domingo, and 1t is
practically his home. Coupled with the
statement is the assertion that his
choice for President would likely prove
acceptable to all parties.

Kindly answer I'm your Sundays issue

We think not. Section 30 Of the Code
Of 1857 provides for donations Of the Code
to- universities, etc, having law schools,
and section 2G7 IS as follows: whenever
the Secretary Of the Commonwealth shall
be satisfied that any justice or other
county or corporation omcer entitled by
law TO seceive the Sessions Acts this
Code. or Mayo's Guide. is destitute OF
tho same, or any of them. and cannot
otherwise procure them. he shall, on APP
plication of the county or corporation

does not thereby diminish the supply Of
the work SO issued in his custody below

Section 27S, which applies 10 the dis
trjbution of the Sessions Acts, and which

ries.

the hole IS to secure a draft. Some Goals
are placed in the hole, and a fire Is built
50 that the flames are drawn through
tho hole. Sometimes live embers drop
ped into tho hole are sufficient. but often
IL is necessary to make fire at the
base Of the tree. Occasionally. another
hole is bored at right angles to the first
one. in order not to be without a draft
should the wind change. Coal oil is pour
cd into the hole when the tree is not ex-
ceedingly resinous.
Except along roads, the stunps left
when the trees fall are seldom removed
When this is desired, a IRE is built on
the top OF the stump and allowed to
burn until the wood is used Up.
When telling trees in this way. care
should be taken that all persons and
things Of value are not Within range, as
It Is impossible to tell when or in what
direction the trees will fail. IN every

should watch the progress OF the fires,
and see that they do not spread 10 the
