pepper caused tears to flow down

He came into direct conflict with Henry Clay, the Whig leader, on bills relating to financial affairs and in his contention received no support from the Democrats. At one time his entire cabinet, with the exception of Daniel Webster, Secretary of State, resigned.
 TAYLOR'S SUCCESSOR.
 Willard Fillmore was born in Cayuga County, N. Y, in 1900, and died in Buff falo, N. T., in 1874. At the time he succeeded Taylor he was nearer in ac- cord with the policy of the administra- tion than any other Vice President who ever succeeded to the Presidency through the death of his chief with the exception of Roosevelt, yet only a few months elapsed when dissensions arose, and near the close of his admin istration he was unable to secure a nomination from his party.

Diverse Objects that Interest the Minds of Travelling Femininity. A half-dOzen women were seated ir
 their steamer chairs, we'll wrapped ir
 cloaks and rugs, on the deck of one of the great ocean liners. As the long afternoon crept by they exchanged dis. jointed condolences as to their plans for the summer in Europe.
 Tt is my first visit" said a middle aged, bright-eyed woman. "I have to make real thousand people who have always been dreams to me, from Charle- magne to Queen Victoria. I am going to stand In the houses where Scott and Keats and Lamb and Thackeray lived. I am going into Savonarola's cell and Dante's garret, and the hut which Francis of Assist thought God had set aside for him at the beginning of the world"
 Dear me" said young woman near by. "I am going over to get some new ideas for posters. That Is my branch of art, and Paris Is the place to study it."
 Two women at the end of the line of recumbent figures were also discussing their. plans.

The Lost Flag.

AS H. NJ. S. Ringdove was cruising past one of the Solomon group of isl ands in the Pacific, the lookout reported that the British flag was not flying. An armed body of marines was promptly sent ashore to inquire the reason.
 The chief did not, according to a Brit ish Columbia paper, waste words in re- plying. He summoned his favorlte wife, and when she appeared, pointed to her. She was clothed from head to foot in the missing Union Jack, the flag having been cut and fashioned into a loose-itting blouse and skirt.
 This, of course, does not settle the question whether trade follows the flag or the flag follows trade in the cannon covered advance of empire, but 1t does prove concluSively that rhe ladies of the Pacific islands, when they acquire civ will not need to take lessons of their Angle-Saxon sisters in the art of making over."

The signing of the fugitive slave law and Its attempted enforcement were the acts which made him unpopular and prevented his nomination. Thus one incident might turn the tide of pop ularity against President and do away with any possibility of his becoming his own successor. His cabinet was in entire accord with him throughout his administration, and the country at his retirement was enjoying peace and prosperity. Despite this he could not command 20 votes in the Whig conven- ton of 1852 In 1856 he was the nomi- nee of the American party for Presi- dent, and only the State of Maryland gave him its electoral vote.
 Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lin coin, the first of our cOuntry's trio of martyred Presidents, was born in Ra- leigh, N. C., Dec. %, 1908. and died near Carter's Station, Tenn, July 31, 1875. His parents were very poor and when he was years old his father died from injuries received while sav- ing another from drowning. He was taught to read by his fellow wOrkmen in a tailor shop, where he was an ap- prentice. Shortly before he was 21 he was married and his wife, being a tal- ented woman. taught him writing and read to him while he worked at his

The American abroad, or in England
 at least, Is no longer the easily pIucked
 bird he was once. AS consequence he
 has lost the popularity he once enjoyed
 with London cabmen and porters. He
 may be held in higher respect than he
 was, for the tourist who allows himself to be plundered is not respected by
 those who do the plundering, but he is
 no longer so much sought after. The
 hotel servants say that the Americans are now the least profitable of their customers. It is we'll that the Ameri- cans should lose their reputation for silly prOdigality. They got 1t partly through ignorance. They did not know the legitimate charges or tips in foreign countries, were unwilling to ask about them, and preferred to run the risk of giving too much rather than of giving too little. Even when they have thought they were being imposed on they have often felt that 1t would not be dignified to make a fuss about 1t. Ignorance and false pride have cost them great deal. That ignorance Is passing away. The number of Americans who make ire quent trips abroad, especially to Eng land and France, Is increasing. Little by little these tourists have learned the ropes. They have found out the foreign scale of remuneration for cer- tain services and they stick rigidly to that scale. They do so all the more rigidly when they recall past occasions when they have been imposed on. But every year Americans are going to Flu rope for the first time, full of inexpe. rience and full of the notion that it is a mark of gentility to be open-handed and not to make a row when over charged. The man who at home will argue for half an hour with a street ear conductor over a question of 5 cents refrains from similar controversies abroad, even when he knows the lan- guage of the country Therefore for eIgners who live by plucking Ameri- cans will not altogether lose their American harvest.

Is the housewife becoming extinct
 Madame Henri Schmall declares that she is. She gives reasons for her be-
 lief, which is a hope as well as a be
 lief. Madame Schmall is an English
 woman, the wife of a Frenchman. and
 has devoted herself largely to the in- terest of ''wOman's rights" in France. According to this independent lady the extinction of the housewife is greatly to be desired. Woman has progressed beyond the state of servitude to the home, and in the near future the wife twill have nothing whatever to do with her husbands dinner except to partake of it." Of course husbands will con- tinue to eat and to have dinners as for merly, but Madame Schmall expects the cook and the kitchen to disappear from the household, and the dinner to be served by a universal provider." The idea is neither strictly original nor even novel. It has been tried in sev- eral instance in this country. and has not been encOuragingly successful. But perhaps the conditions were not favor able, and Madame Schmall may be jus tified in assuming that when she has the direction of the enterprise it will result in a perfection satisfactory to the most advanced woman. Whether the world will be better or humanity the happier when madam, the house. wife, has disappeared, and whether the universal provider" will fill the bill of nome cooking" are questions which must be answered by expert ment and not by pure reasoning. There is every disposition to gratify the la- dies, even the most progressive and most thoroughly emancipated ladies; but when home cooking and industries have been turned over to restaurant keepers and servants jobbing by the hour, shall we still feel thrill of emo- tion when we sing. There's No Place Like Home"

Thumbs.

The disparagement of the. usefulness and importance of the thumb implied h the expression, His fingers are all thumbs" seems undeserved in view of the important part the thumb formerly played in the social customs of the peo, pie, and the very important part it plays in our own lives.
 Lord Erskine, in his Institutes, D states that among certain of the lower ranks in Scotland the final settlement of bargain was always signalized by the licking and joining of thumbs.
 Selden, in '"Titles of Honor," says that kissing the thumb was a character istic of servility. The clergy, the rich and the great, were in receipt of this honor from their tradesmen. From the remotest days of antiquity the practice of licking the thumb has always been regarded as solemn pledge or promise, existing, according to Tacitus and other authorities, among the Goths, the Iber- fans and the Moors, and it may also be traced through successive periods down to our own times.

not going to dance myself, but hoped I might find some kind friend who would take pity on me and sit out one occasionally" Once nothing had ever been further from Meredith's thoughts than the absurd "sitting out" of 8 dance with a girl; but now-well, cir. cumstances alter cases, that's all.
 "OhF' she answered, ''I was late, too l have only the cotillion engaged. will give you one later on"
 Charlie, who had been an amused 1 spectator, could restrain himself no longer, in spite of an imploring lock from his friend.
 "Why were you late, Bee? You told me you expected to be here early, on account of your friend"
 "Such funny thing happened" she laughed. Come here, Sue, and help me tell about it."
 Glancing at the young doctor, one look at his conscious face was enough. "Oh!' she cried; "why! you-you are the manp
 Then the tension gave way and the quartette laughed long and merrily.
 What's the joke?" was asked on all sides; but taking Sue hurriedly by the hand, Beatrice made her way to a re- tired corner, motioning to Graham to bring his friend.
 "We must exchange condolences" she said.
 "And shoes" murmured Graham, sottO voce. So, with much laughter and chatter of tongues, the whole affair was made clear, to the mystiication of all their friends and acquaintances.
 The following year Dr. and Mrs. John Meredith (nee Harloe) set up housekeeping in a cozy flat on Geary street, where there is a mystery still unsolved in the doctors study. Hang ing beside his desk, within convenient reach of his right arm, is the we'll known figure of Miss Bonita," grace fully swinging her toes as of old. But upon those toes are now fitted dainty slippers of white suede, held in place by huge bows of white satin ribbon.
 To all inquiries, Bee merrily an- swers: "Well, if did throw myself at his head first, he returned the compli- ment promptly by throwing himself at my feetP'-Argonaut.

 When President Garfield died from the wounds Of an asSassin's bullet. the Republican party was divided into two powerful factions. known as the staI- warts and half breeds, the former led by Roscoe Conkling and the latter by James G.

Upward of 1O,OOO,O0O flee annu- ally from the cities to the mountains and seashore. There are between 10000 and 25,O00 summer hotels in the coun- try and they employ about 30O,O00 peo- pie. New York State alone has about 4.0O0 summer hotels. The largest sin gle resort in the country is at Atlantic City, with summer population of about 100000, and an average of 15,OOO employees. It is estimated that $2O,- 100000 is spent at Atlantic City every season for this form of entertainment.
