"The Lowest Order of Mind"

At recent meeting of New Eng land college presidents, one of the most important of them all remarked that mental arithmetic did not train 9 childs mind, and that mathemad- clan per Sc was incapable of moral reasoning. Mathematicians might take notice, remarks Harper's Weekly Tt reminds one, says the writer, of Stiles, the greatest of the Yale mathe- maticians of his time He indeed, had virtues as we'll as mathematics. and was the graceful and learned editor of Garden and Forest, horti- culturist editor of the New York Trib- une, and president of the New York park commission. Once he was i'll for a long time-a very long time and he used to say that when he be- came convalescent he discovered that the mathematical was the lowest order cf mind.

Tied Up the Gallaohers.

Lightning has played some queer pranks, but about the funniest joke streak of it ever got off was when it bumped into old William Gallagher of Cleveland MT Gallagher was peace fully in bed when the bolt hit his domicile and the fluid completely wrecked the iron bedstead in which the old man and his wife were sleep. ing. Worse than that it twisted the clothes and the iron about the couple in such curious fashion that they were actually tied in bed, and, to save them selves, couldn't get out, while the rain beat in on them from the wrecked roof Finally their shouts brought the neighbors and Gallagher and Mrs. Gallagher were released from old Jupiter's iron clutch, wet and scared and exhausted. The bedstead with the clothes twisted about it's sides is a curious object of interest in Cleva- land to this day.

The maids untutored face showed Seffy that she was not telling the truth, however, and she was not sorry for It. She would never have treated SeHy so.
 Seffy shifted his hat from one hand to the other and then said:

AUTOMOBILE LEGISLATION,

Ono of the subjects certain to come
before the Vermont Legislature next
autumn is the desirability OF mater
tally modifying legislation with refer
ence to automobiles. While the prob
lem involved in the use Of highways
presented by team Is rapidly solving
itself, owners OF automobiles themselves
as we'll as others feel the need OF
certain regulations In order to pro-
tect the interests and promote the
welfare OF all concerned.

bile legislation as in some other direc-
lions and It will be profitable for our
people to study tho legislation recent

Washington, June &.-The result OF the
efforts of the republican President max
ers at tho Chicago convention will me-
cessitatc the building OF electoral college
tables this year along entirely new lines.
Just as a general maps out the region
of prospective operations prior to military
movements. the national chairmen draw
their maps Of the country they hope or
expect to carry and conduct their oper-
atoms accordingly. This mapping will
begin as soon as the chnirmen are cho-
sen.
Some Of the States where the sound
of artillery in a national campaign Is un-
usual will shake under tho activities Of
powerful forces. They will be down on
the preliminary campaign maps as de-
batable ground. BY the time that Octo-
her rolls around and the work Of win
min n presidency reaches It's greatest
intensity, much OF this early & phi
cal grouping may appear to have been
premature, but campaign managers Oft
en- must grope their way along in ascer-

Now doth sweet summer dream her
sweetest dream,
With full-fringed lids half closed
against the sun
And thirsting lips, she mods beside the
stream
Within whose silent bed no waters run.
Full YEARLY she stretcheth now her
limbs;
Anon her breast is stirred with languid
signs;
Lulled by tho murmur of slow forest
hymns.
She draws the shadows with her
browsing eyes.
And. all above. her busy hands have

A woven covert Of green boughs that
keep
The semblance Of a painted arch whose
shade
Falls on the ground like an enchanted

license granted by the commission a copy
Of all the automobile laws shall be
supplied.
Another change in the law OF interest
to automobilists made by the Massachu-
sets Legislature is the putting on the

law reads: Whenever on any bridge or
way. public or private, there Is not an
unobstructed view Of the road for at
least one hundred yards, the driver Of
every vehicle shall keep his vehicle on
the right OF the middle of the travelled
part of the bridge or way, whenever 1t
Is safe and practicable so to do" The
penalty is a fine of so and liability in
an action commenced within twelve
months OF the violation. The Legislature
also passed a law for the codlncation by

bile laws, the commission 20 report the

ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

1t is pretty general understood that
each State has one vote for each OF its
two senators and ono vote for every
one Of It's representatives in the ma
tional House. These votes make up the
electoral college. which chooses, one in
every four years, n president and n
vice-president. There are % United
states senators and 39l representatives.
Accordingly the electoral college this
year Will have 4S3 votes. The success-
ful candidate for president and vice
PRESIDENT must have at least PAP votes.
This Is the largest electoral college In
the history of the country. Oklahoma
with two senators and five representa-
tves having been admitted since the
last presidential election.
The national chairmen, at the very
outset. Will eliminate about threc-hfths
of those votes from their calculations
Approximately rs votes. or a trlle more
than one-half Of these three-nfths, will
be conceded to Mr.. Bryan, the pros
pective democratic nominee The demo-
Gratis may not concedc quite as gen
erouslv to their opponents, bat tho fact
remains that good Judges VIII concede
about IA votes in the eastern section
of tho country as good as cast for
