The cooperation which the people are
giving The Sunday Times is exactly
what is needed to make the search a
success. This hunt for the national

most casual observer that at the very
outset there are lovelier photographs en-

This does not mean that The Sunday

the more gratifying, therefore. that this

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

The office of vice president of the
United States, that John Adams,
Thomas Jefferson, George Clinton, John
c. Calhoun and John c. Breckenridge
held it an honor to be chosen to, is
come to be looked upon with more or
less disdain, though from it eight Of
our statesmen were promoted to the
chief magistracy, says the Washington
Herald. Daniel Webster would have
reached the presidency if his dignity
had suffered him to accept second place
on the Wing ticket of 1S4S. Thomas
A. Hendricks, it is shrewd to opine,
would have succeeded to the presidency
if his pride had not blinded his reason,
and prompted him to stand for first
place in 1880 instead of agreeing to the
old ticket, headed by Tflden, that
would have been invincible, for it is
next to certain that Tilden would not
have survived six months in the White
House, though in private life he out
lived Hendricks.
Ben Butler might have been presi-
dent had he not imagined he was too
puissant a warrior to be spared from
the field in 1864. 1t is quite likely that
Robert J. Breckenridge would have
been chosen vice president that year
if he had not been a minister of the
gospel. Theodore Roosevelt is presi-
dent today because he was conscripted

letters of nobility, and these depend
upon the particular step of the social
ladder that has been attained. A baron
pays $3.50, viscount $1,000, an earl
$3.50, marquis $500, and a duke $3.50.
No reduction is made for a quantity,
and the Duke of wellington, who was
a baron. viscount, an earl, a marquis,
and duke, had to disburse to the tune
of $3.50 and the tailor's bill on top of it
all.
The tailor's bill is a considerat ton.
The robes are made of very fine royal
scarlet cloth, trimmed with ermine, the
rank of the wearer being indicated by
the number of ermine bars which en-
circle the upper or shoulder part of the
robe. "A duke shows four of these bars.
marquis three and a half-the latter
going just half way round-an earl
three, viscount two, and a baron only
one. The cost of the robes varies ac-
cording to the capacity of the peer to
drive a good bargain, but the average
price of a set is about $1,000.

OBJECTIONABLE HISTORY.

Washington is not the only place
that is having trouble with its school
histories. Kentucky is protesting
against the use of a history in the
public schools of the Blue Grass state
that calls General John H. Morgan a
horse thief
NJ. A. Cassidy, superintendent of the
city schools at Lexington, has made
complaint to the American Book Com
pany, the publishers of Guerber's
Story Of the Great Republic against
what he terms the disrespectful way in
which the history refers to General
Morgan. It is said that a full-page
portrait of General Robert E. Lee an
pears in the book and that an entire
chapter is devoted to him, in which the
author spares no pains to extol his viz
tues but that General Morgan is dealt
with in an entirely different manner.
Like Turping's ''Stories from Amer
Ican History" that has been the source
OF considerable complaint in Grand
Army circles in Washington, the auth

PEERAGE POINTERS.

The English House of Commons is
trying hard to show that Englishmen
no longer dearly love a lord,' and if
the peers of the realm do not find that
they are Shorn of some of the powers
as well as some offs their fine feathers,
1t will be due TO lack of power on the
part of their adversaries and not to
lack of will. But by one of the
curious inconsistencies of English life
the king goes on creating peers as
though the hereditary principle in Eng
lish society had discovered the lapis
philosophorum and We're endowed with
life for evermore. Perhaps it is so.
When a peer mixes with his fell
low mortals of baser clay he looks
very much like them, although rather
more so. To see him at his best he
must be inspected upon official occa-
sions, and then we shall see how true
it is that clothes make the man. A
new peer must always wear his best
clothes when he appears in the giIded
chamber for the first time, and then
indeed he is sight for men and angels.
GorgeouSly attired, and thanked on
either side by his introducers, the new
lord advances to the throne, bows TO
it three times, Indifferent to the fact
that royalty is represented only by the
lord chancellor. who returns his salu-
tations and makes solemn pretense
of examining his patent of nobility.
The three peers, the new one and his
two supporters, then make nine genu-
Elections to the throne, three each, and
the ceremony is over. The new peer
retires to think over his dignities and
TO check his tailor's bill, and the world
goes on pretty much the same as il
did before.
1t costs something to be made a peer. |
There are regular fees that must be |
paid to the Herald's College for the |

SAMSON'S PULL.

Recent investigation goes to show
that strong man Samson really did pull
down the pillars of the temple at GAIA,
and allow the roof to drop on the
Philistines. Professor Stewart Macal-
lister, who is now at work on the site
of GAIA, has discovered the ruins of
eight cities there, dating back to a
period 5000 years before Christ. In
vestigation shows that the Canaanites,
who lived here, were in the habit of
sacrificing infants to some deity, the
bodies being burned under the corners
of the house walls. 1t is believed these
human sacrifices were the "abomina-
tions" of the Ammonites denounced in
the Old Testament. The excavations at
GAIA show how it was that Samson
destroyed the temple of the Philistines.
The pillars were of wood, and they
rested on foundations of stone, without
being fastened thereto. The strong
man had, therefore, merely to push
these pillars off their supporting stones,
when down would come the whole
front of the building.
