ecd Will Sprinkle Sunshine.

If you should see fellow-man with
troubles flag unfurled,
An lookin' like he didn't have friend
In ali the world,
Go up and slap him on the back, and
holler, "How'd you do?"
And grasp his hand so warm he'll know
he has friend in you.
Then ak him what's a-hurtln' him, an
laugh his cares away,
An tell him the darkest night Is Just
before the day.
Don't talk in graveyard palaver, but
say it right out loud,
That God will sprinkle sunshine in the
trail OF every cloud.
This world at best is but hash OF
pleasure and OF pain;
Some days are bright and sunny, and
some all sloshed with rain,
And that's just how it ought to be, for
when the clouds roll by
Wen know just how to 'preciate IL e
bright and smiling sky.
So learn to take 1t as 1t comes, and
don't sweat at the pores
Because the Lords opinion don't coin
eide with yours
But always keep rememberin' when
cares your path enshroud,
That God has lots OF sunshine to spill
behind the cloud.

REMARKABLE FACT.
GROWTH Or THE EARS.
It Is Asserted That It Never Stops
Until Death,

Philadelphia Evening Post.
The systematic examination of more
than 10000 pairs OF human ears in
England and France has resulted In
some Interesting conclusions. For one
thing, it is ascertained that the ear
continues to grow in the later decades
of life in fact, it appears never to
stop growing until death. 1t one will
take the trouble to look around in any
assemblage of people, as at church, he
will discover that the old folks have
ears considerably larger than those of
the middle-aged. A woman who has
small, shell-like ears at 20 years of age
will be very apt to possess medium
sized ears at 40 years and large ears at
60.
Why ears should go ON growing all
ones life, any more than noses, is a
mystery. There are a good many
other points about them that are In
structive, their shapes being markedly
persistent through heredlty. An ear
will be handed down, so to speak,
from father to son for generation after
generation with comparatively little
modification. Some authorities on
criminology assert that criminals are
very apt to possess peculiar kind of
ear, which is recognized by an expert
in such matters.
There is probably nobody in the
world who has pair of ears perfect ly
matched in most people the two dlf-
fer peceptibly not only il shape, but
also In size. Frequently they are not
placed precisely alike on the head.
The age of q person may be judged
with great accuracy by the ears, which
after youth is past assume an increas-
ing harshness of contour. A pretty
woman whose first youth has departed
may not show the fact in other ways,
but these telltale features will surely
tell the story of the flight Of time.
Then there is the little wrinkle that
comes just In front of each ear during
the thirties-a fatal aud ineradicable
sign.
Near the top of each, just within the
down-turned edge and slightly toward
the back, will be found, if one feels
for 1t, small lump of cartilage. This
is remnant OF what was originally
the tip of the ear, when, ever 80 long
ago, that organ in our remote an
cestors had point to it. Most of the
apes to-day have pointed ears, but in
human beings the upper edge of The
organ has, In the course of ages, been
folded over so as to cover the real tip

The Law Of Succession 70 Tht
Presidency.

Until 1896 the law OF the SUCCESSION
to the presidency In case of the death
removal or jncapacity Of the president
provided that the vice president should
come into the Office. Next to him In
the line OF succession stood the presi
dent pro tempore of the senate, that il
the member OF the senate who had been
elected to preside over the proceedings
OF that body in the absence OF the
vice president.
After the president pro tempore o1
the senate came the speaker of the
house of representatives and beyond
him there was no provision for success
sion. The detect and possible DANCE,
involved In this law were brought for.
chilly to the mind of the country in
1881 by the death of President Gar.
field and the conditions then existing
Vice President Chester A. Arthur
stepped promptly into the president.
Office, but the senate had failed to
elect president pro tempore at 1t itf
last session and If President Arthur
had died or In any way become incap-
able of performing the functions of the
presidency very uncertain and trying
state of affairs would have ensued.
In order to make the succession
more stable congress in 1886 enacted
the present law regulating it.
It is now provided that the vice
president shall stand first in the llue oi
succession as he did before, but both
the president pro tempore of the sen
ate and the speaker of the house OF
representatives have been eliminated.
The members OF the cabinet have
been placed in the line of presidential
succession in the order OF the creation
of their Offices, namely:
l. Secretary of state.
2. Secretary of the treasury.
3. Postmaster general.
4. Attorney general.
5. Secretary of the navy.
6. Secretary of the interior.
The secretary of agriculture is not
included, as his Office had not been
created at the time the act was passed.
Before that the agricultural bureau
was presided over by commissioner,
who had no seat in the presidents
Cabinet. The argument used in sup
port OF this legislation was that it pro-
vided q more secure succession to the
presidency by adding more names to it
and that it insured also that the policy
of the administration would not be
revolutionized, as 1t often would have
been had the president pro tempore
of the senate or the speaker of the
house stepped into the executive Of
fee.
It has never happened that the presi-
dency has descended further than the
vice president, but such q thing
might happen and the wisdom OF the
new law Is generally recognized.
