Deaths Strange Distinction.


"A corpse was floating on the water. =
a reporter said. II saw 1t first and my
longshoreman stopped rowing to peer
lat 1t through the dusk.
"Its man. he said. bet you 1t
is a man
s'How can you tell? said L
"Because it is floating on its stom-
ach, the longshoreman answered.
Male corpes float on their stomachs
always. Female corpses always float
on their backs
"A moment later we were beside the
corpse. 1t fioated face downward and
1t was, sure enough, man.
"'You see,' said the longshoreman,
the two sexes are built differently.
There's a group Of bones called the
pelvic bones that are lighter in men
than in women. 1t is these pelvic
bones that cause men to float face
down and women face up
"'You might have OWNED this fact
for yourself by watching the bathers
at the seashore. Didn't you ever no.
tlce, among bathers, how easy it is for
women to float on tehir backs? But
men, when they try to float in this
way, gradually turn over on their
stomachs.' New York Telegram.

Cur Accidental Presidents.

II
Every one Of the vice presidents Of
the United States who succeeded to
the presidency through the death Of a
president was an aspirant for the next
nominstion for president--but not one
succeeded.
John Tyler. after the death Of Presi-
dent william Henry Harrison, began
to realize the waning power OF the
whig party, and consequently aban-
doned the party that had elected him
on its national ticket and strove to
obtain the next democratic presiden4
tiai Nomination. THAT party, however,
secuted his candidacy and nominated
Polk, who was sneered at by Clay as
the Duck River colonel" General
Zachary Taylor. who was really with
out party politics. was nominated for
president by the wings in 1s4s and was
elected only because OF his Mexican
war record and the detection in New
York Of the Van Buren, faction, who
would not support General Cass, the
democratic nominee. Taylor was In
Office only month when he died and
was succeeded by Miilard Fillmore, a
mediocre man. But he had followers
who stimulated his ambition, and he
soon began to lay plans for the whig
nomination IN 1862. But his claims
were ignored and the whig party, with
General Winfield Scott as its candi-
date, made Its last rally for the presl-
disney.
Fillmore in his disappointment was
persuaded to abandon his party, and
In 1855 ran as the presidential candi-
date OF the know-nothing or Amerl-
can party and he received only the
eight electoral votes OF Maryland.
Andrew Johnson, seeing no prospect
OF q nomination from the republicans,
followed the example Of Tyler and
Fillmore, and deserted the party that
placed him in power. He planned and
dickered for the democratic nomination
OF 1858, but his strength in the con-
vention OF that party was hardly worth
considering.
Arthur followed Garfield, and through
q skillful and prudent use OF the fed
eral patronage built up in his party
an apparently strong faction in favor
Of continuing him in the presidency,
but before the republican national con-
vention OF 1884 convened his strength
as candidate had so melted away as
to leave him no chance Of success,
Thus 1t will be seen that what are
called accidental presidents have all
aspired to succeed themselves and all
have signally failed, and with the OK.
ception OF johnson their failure has
been followed by obscurity. Roosevelt
Is reputed to be a lucky man, and It
remains to be seen IL he will be more
lucky than any Of his accidental pre-
decessors.-New York Commercial.

they might. although they scored Ave
goals to Phiadelphia's one The second
period was a stubborn battle; the Phila-
delphlans played hard and fast and gnve
the Westcnesters a hard game
In the third period Wcstchester added
