HOW enc rreslacnt rr rn,a.

In the apportionment Of the salaries
of all United States government en-
ployees the year Is divided into quar-
ters and each quarter subdlvidcd ac-
corllng to the number of days In each
month, but the president receives prac-
ticnlly the same amount every month.
Thus, If n president should die at the
end of February, after receiving his
salary for that month, his successor
would in reality receive less than the
full amount due him IN March becnuse
his predecessor had, In effect, been
overpaid the prior month. lnasmuch
as the presidents salary may not be
divided into exactly equal parts, 1t Is
necessary to pay the chief magistrate
81, 1866 on some months and $i,1d6.G7
on others. On one occasion during
the Cleveland administration a mis-
take was made, and there were sent
to the chief executive three successive
warrants for $l,16G.G6.' When the
error was discovered, the treasury de-
partmcnt fastened to dispatch to the
White House warrant on the United
States government for a cent made
out in Mr.. Clevcland's favor, though
the president never cashed this check.

How CoaI Was First Named.


Curiously, the word coal was in use
long before as well as long after the
commencement of the coal trade, with
n meaning quite different from that
which 1t now has. The term originally
belonged to wood fuel and was applied
In particular to wood which had been
chnrred, or what is now called char
coal.
When the trade in mineral coal be-
gan, this was usually distinguished by
the singular name of sea coal. 1t
would seem that from having been
gathered in early times on the sea-
shore, more especially of Northumber-
land, along with seaweed and other
wreckage cast up by the waves, this
peculiar substance was supposed to be
OF marine origin. From this circum-
stance and its resemblance to wood
conl in color and burning properties it
obtained the name of sea coal, by
which 1t was SO long and so widely
known. Then In the course of time,
as the new fuel gained upon and su-
perseded the old, the simple name Of
coal became universally transferred

Mnn. Woman and Love.

In one of his books Max Orch. the
witty Frenchman, gives the following
advice:
"If you are bald, never make love
to woman taller than you. Looked
at from below, you are all right.
Never let your ladylove see you
without collar; no-not even the very
wife of your bosom. A mans head
without a collar Is like q bouquet
without holder.
Never marry woman richer than
you, one taller than you, or one older
than you. Be always gently superior
to your wife in fortune, in size and in
age, SO that in every possible way she
may appeal to you for help or protec-
ton, either through your purse, your
strength or your experience in life.
Marry her at an age that will always
enable you to play with her all the
different characteristic parts of a hus-
banda chum. lover, an adviser, a
protector and just tiny suspicion OF
u father"

The Professor, the Indy and the Cow

1t is told of II certain professor whose
observation-disclosures about equaled his
learning that he was one day, crossing
the college campus, absorbed to such
q degree in book of his that had just
been published that he was lost to
everything else. Suddenly he bumped
up against an object. and looking up
he saw that he had collided with a
cow that had rudely strayed in his
way. "Get out of the way, YOU cow"
ne exclaimed irritably. prefXing an I'M
polite adjective TO "cow."
The next day as the professor was
again crossing the campus, immersed
in his reading, he again ran into an
object "Oh, that confoundcd COW"
he exclaimed. Then. hearing an in
dignant "Sirr' he looked up hastily to
discover that this time he had come
up against the wife of a fellow pro-
fcssor. 1t hardly made matters better
to assure her that he had taken her
for COW, and it required the good
offices of the entire faculty to restore
an era of good feeling.

Lombard Architecture.

The Lombard style of architecture,
10 which our Norman Is allied, placed
the support conspicuously in the wall.
OF great thickness, with large blank
spaces unpierced and prominent, the
walls plainly tell their work and their
capacity to do it. The ornamentation
is subservient to the idea. Shallow
recesses and paneling bring the sur
face of the wall into prominence.
Where they are pierced for window or
door the beveling and molding in per-
spective increase the idea of strength.
The arcading points to the depth. The
circular arch indicates the solidity of
the wall above. The circular windows
were adapted to emphasize the notion
of power.
In the Egyptian the wall is unno-
ticed, in the Greek it receded from
view, in the Byzantine it played no
part, in the Moresque it is chopped up
and scattered, but in the Lombard,
without buttress or plaster, it asserted
itself as the main element OF support

COMMUNICATED.

Yeve is the Hebrew name OF the God
of Israel. The name was changed by
the Massorites about the eighth or
tenth century A. D. AT that time
their language had been 80 long unused
that the vowel letters we're useless,
and yet in our Theological semiparies
these vowels are said To haye no sound.
and are called otiant, that Is resting,
or useless letters. SO the Massorites
invented signs Of vowel sounds, and
using e as Fl, pronounced the name
Jehovah.
Yeve was not known by nams until
he appeared to Moses in INDIAN, and
claimed to be Elohim. Ex. 3:l4 The
word is plural and means Powers. but
is joined with singular verbs and ad-
jectives, and means the United Powers.
Outside of Judea,lt continued to be q
principal name for God, as we learn
from the book Of jon.
The revelation OF Yeve is made thus:
"Ard EIohm said to Moses am who
am" In verse 18th he calls himself
the Yeve Elohim of the fathers; but in
6s4he says he was not known to the
Fathers BY name. Evidently when this
was written the Scrlbes had not
written the hook OF Genesis. in which
Yeve often appears, but our translators
render it by the word LORD, with nc,
Neither does IL mean Am, or self ex-
istent. The word for that is Aeye, MS
used In Elk. 3:l4.
The only intelligent idea of God Is
the REALFyY OF all things, in whom all
things consist. Col. 1;l7. and Acts
l7:2S. God as the Lnf1ite, is the ALL
OF the Universe. II he is less than in.
finite, compared to she infinite he Is in
conceyably little. St. Johu 5:37 Jesus
says of the Father: "Ye have neither
heard his voice at any time or seen his
shape And Yeve tells Moses that no
man can see his face and live. But
Yeve takes dinner with Abraham.
Walks in Eden in the cool of the day,
and cursed all in sight when Eve ate
the fruit OF the tree of Knowledge
without being killed by it. he often
says he does not repent, and very often
repents, and traverses his word. He
swears, and says he will not repent,
that the seed oi David shall endure
forever. and his throne as the sun
But the line of Levi ruled from 400
B. c, and the sun did not go out.
Turning to Egypt, Greece and Rome
we notice that their gods had the same
luck, though they did not promise so
much nor swear so hard.
Those gods are OF little use. have be-

JAPANESE REGALlA.
Royal Emblems without Which the
Emperor Could Not Rule.

Royal Emblems without which tho
Emperor Could Not Rule.
The Japanese royal emblems consist
Of n copper mirror, symbolic Of knowl-
edge; steel sword. symbollzing cour-
age. and agate jewels. representing
mercy. The story Of their origin was
told thus by a Japanese official:
The sun goddess became angry with
the earth and withdrew into cave.
plunging everything into darkness.
The other deities could not induce her
to come out. SO began to make n noise
as of great rejoicing. which aroused
the curiosity Of the irate goddess. She
finally came to the mouth Of the cave
to learn the cause Of the uproar and
was told that they had found more
beautiful goddess than herself. The
sun goddess came out then, demand
ing to see her rival, and the crafty del
ties held the mirror before her. which
drove all her sulklness away.
The sword was taken by SusenOo.
the brother Of the sun goddess. from
the tail Of an eight headed serpent
that had been annually devOuring a
beautiful girl. Susenoo placed eight
great tubs of wine In his way and when
he was sleeping killed him and took
the sword as trophy.
The sword is kept In an apartment
near the imperial bedchamber and
called the Room Of the Sword. The
jewels have also a room to themselves.
and the mirror Is in charge of a priest
ess. The regalia have the highest sig
nificance In the eyes of the people. and
it Is held that no emperor can possibly
rule without the three, virtues which
they represent. He must. moreover,
hold the actual tokens. and In the I'M
perial code 1t Is enjoined that on the
death OF the sovereign his heir must
take possession of them.

TOWN IMPROVEMENT.
rlan to Interest the Government In
the Matter.

the Matter.
The effort to form union Of all
organizations that have for their object
the identifying of towns and cities
which will be made in connection with
the convention of the American Park
and Outdoor association in Buffalo next
year will be widely approved, says the
Buffalo EXlTcSs. Most of the large
cities and Inany towns and villages
have such associations and would glad
ly join in the proposed movement.
one of the objects of forming union
is to interest the government in the
work and get its support to the extent
of collecting and making public infOr
nation on the subject, with photo
graphs etc, showing what can be done
by organized effort. The governments
work would presumably be largely to
show what has been done in foreign
towns and cities. The individual or
ganizations have accomplished much
as it is, but there is Il lmitless field in
which to work, and government aid
would be valuable.
Every city in the country and many
towns are for example. filled with un-
slightly billboards and display adver-
tising in the form of immense paintings
on buildings. etc. The Improvement so.
ceties have given their attention tc
this matter for long time, with con-
siderable success. The courts in sew.
cral states nave upheld the right of Il
city to regulate the size of billbOards,
and there is every reason for believing
that in the not distant future billbOards
will have disappeared from towns and
cities.
The care and planting of trees and
shrubs, Strengthening the sidewalk
lines, removal of sidewalk and lot
fences and the beautifying of back
yards are a few of the other changes
which should he made in towns and
cities. The question of architecture is
another important point. There is plen-
ty of work to he done in Improvement,
and any movement such rs the pro.
posed union of the separate societies
which promises to help the cause
should be heartily supported.

The Quiet Man In the Corner.


fingered DER the checker game night
or two ago.
The one who played against me seemed to
have no ghost of show.
Way over in corner shrank a timid lit
tie man.
Who seemed afraid to even dare approach
my valiant van,
But pretty soon an opening occurred two
blocks away
And not another moment did that little
fellow stay.
He bounded DER this board and took three
kings in one fell swoop.
Then landed in my king row with a wild.
ecstatic whoop.
You've known these quiet fellows that
just sat around and thought
And never said single word while others
ragged and fought.
But some day. when most every one is
looking tother way,
This quiet fellow sees a chance TO break
into the play.
He reaches out and grabs things that the
others had ignored;
tie puts into the life game all the energy
he'd stored
Through all the years of silence. SO you'd
better not forget
che still man in the corner. for he'll reach
