! Making It plain.

In the lower Amazon country the.
temperature ranges about 81 degrees
in the shade all the year round, says
the author of Ten Thousand Miles In
a Yacht At AIanaos, 1000 miles up
the river, the temperature is six or
eight degrees higher. Thermometers
are little used in that country and little
understood. SO when yachtsman re-
turned down river and was asked by
an official at Para, How is the tenn
perature at Manaos?" his reply, Eight
degrees hotter than here" ELECTED a
stare of noncomprehension.

explanation. Il used to wilt six collars

he was abe to procure the services of
assistants and to live amid conditions
of comfort. By constant habit he gain

the presence Of little ~ Miss Nettic

more than sixty pounds! Her par

Benton and goes by the name of Net

hair and heavy eyebrows, and her
face presents the appearance Of wo-
man. She speaks only a few words
and these in deep voice. Her adop-
ted mother says she was a very deli
cate looking infant, and was several
months old before she began to de-
velop into such a precocious child.
and that now she acts as other chill
dren Of her age. She did not fail to
attract the attention Of everyone who
saw her on the streets Monday.

A Chorus Girls Work And Wages

An article by Norah Anderson in
The New Idea Woman's Magazine for
March gives a lively account OF the
work, wages and inducements of the
chorus girl. Not all chorus girls, We
learn, are such because they can sing.
There is the "show GIRL" who "al-
though they say she IS not so much IN
demand by managers now as she used
to be, has an important role-that Of
looking pretty. She IS there strictly
on account Of her looks. She rarely
speaks, does not even act. She walks
in and stands, wears beautiful COS
tunes and-looks pretty. In Edna
Mays play. The Catch Of the Sea-
son., there are several show girls or
Gibson Girls, as they are known in
the performance. The show girl is
better paid than her business associ-
ate in the chorus. She gets her twen-
tv-fve dollars a week to the chorus
girls eighteen 'on the road (any
place in New York; and fifteen in
New York." In general, it appears
chorus girl must use care and econ
omy to put away any of her salary,
although "out in the western states
chorus girl can really save money.
She has salary Of at least eighteen
dollars a week and in many instances
she has cleared as much as an average
of eight dollars a week. All railroad
fares are paid and sometimes sleepers.
. Board and room, in fact, every
expense except railroad fare, must be
paid out of the individual salary. The
advance man is supposed to send back
list of hotels and boarding houses,
cheap and otherwise for the conven-
ience Of the approaching company.
And the little economies practiced by
a great many of the girls in their
choice of boarding places are as sur
prising as they are commendable. Of
ten they engage a room and cook their
meals on an alcohol stove carried with
them, ironing their handkerchiefs on
the window pane, and so forth.''

PROBLEM OF EX-PRESDENTS.
What Has Been Done by Many of
Them.

". E. Curtis suggestion of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's ambition to enter
the senate at the conclusion Of his
presidential term. recalls the old
problem Of what to do with ex-presi-
dents. Only two, John Quincy Adams
and Andrew Johnson, have ever sery-
ed in congress. Adams was elected
representative for seventeen years
and died in Office. Indeed, his reputa-
ton rests chiefly on his career as an
independent congressman. Johnson
went back to Tennessee after the expi
ration of his term, and, after being
defeated once for the senate and once
for theh ouse, he was elected senator
in 1875. but died, the same year: after
a brief service. John Tyler was elec-
ted to the Confederate house, but did
not serve in the congress of the Uni
ted States after his retirement from
the presidency.
Washington spent his declining
years at Mount Vernon, though he ac-
eepted the command Of the army once
more when war threatened with
France. John Adams lived peacefully
for twenty-five years at his Massachu-
setts home, after his official career
ended. Jefferson retired to Monticel-
10, where he passed his closing years
in growing financial embarrassment.
Madison lived in comfort at his Mont
pelier home, where he was president
of the county agricultural society.
Monroe's last years were clouded
from lack of money. Jackson used to
swear that he would not be driven
from the White House ''beggar man
like Jim Monroe.'' Old Hickory him
self survived the expiration Of his
term by. nine years at the Hermitage.
Van Buren got into politics with an
independent nomination in lS49, but
lived in retirement afterward and
wrote part of book on "The ORR
Gin Of Parties.' Fillmore and Pierce
both travelled abroad extensively at
ter the completion of their terms.
Buchanan was little heard OF,
though he lived seven years after LIN
coins inauguration. Grant unfortu-
natelv thought he must 60 into bus
mess to earn enough money to live
in proper style. Hayes became inter
ested in the prison reform movement;
Arthur died the year after leaving
office. Harrison practiced law and
Cleveland, after his first term prac-
ticed law; but at the conclusion OF his
second term he retired and remained
at his Princeton home until he became
trustee of the Equitable Life.
It has been suggested that express
idents be given a place at the cabinet
table. But that would be futile tor
a cabinets usefulness depends largely
on its harmonious personal relations
with the president. The chief exeeu-
tive need not invite all the department
heads to confer with him, and Jefer-
son even sus ended meetings for
months at time. The suggestion
that former presidents be sent to the
senate by a constitutional amendment
has decided merit. The only question
is whether such an amendment would
conflict with the provision that "no
state without it's consent shall be de-
prived of it's equal suffrage in the
senate" Possibly this difficulty
could be surmounted by some device.
In any event the matter is worth con-
c;5or;no
