senator of the type of Thomas c. Platt, of New York. or Boies Penrose, of Pennsylvania. These men and oth- CT senators of the same type wielded a certain kind of influence in the sem ate. but 1t was an influence exercised for the benefit of protected Interests, and not of the masses of the peo- wields great power in the senate. but 1t is not by reason of overshadowing intellectual powers or his dislnterest- ed labors in the cause of the people. MT. Aldrich's power is the result of his ability to bring to the service of the organized interests the great majority of the Republican senators.
 The Republican party as represented in the senate by Eastern men has lit tie cause to boast of It's superiority over the South's representation in the senate. The Republican senators who are most active in yroteeting the ln. aggressive in resenting the domination of their party by trusts and monopo- lies, represent Western states In which elections. just as senators are selected in the Southern States. They are men of brains and of courage, and so far as their desire to promote the peo- ple's welfare Is concerned. they are Separated by a great gulf from the Re- publican senators of the Eastern states. it is to men of the type Of La Fol- iette. Bristow, Beveridge, Cummins and that the Republican party must look for release from the domination Of the interests which now control 1t. Those Western senators have more in com. mon with the Democratic senators of the South than they have with the Eastern senators who are under the thumb of Aldrich. The senate has deteriorated, and the evidences ot its decadence are more pronounced In the East than in any other part of the country. The South does not send to inc senate men who consider 1t their first duty to serve powerful interests which place their own welfare above that of the people.

 Although the history of the present factory dates only from 1710. when Frederick August H., e1ector of Sax ony. formally established the industry in Meissen. preliminary work had been under way in the laboratory of the royal palace in Dresden for nine years. Bottger. the alchemist who had been driven to seek refuge in Dresden. be- lieved that he was near his goal, the conversion of clay and base metals in- to gold. Augustus, who was in sore need of gold at the time and whose country, had become impoverished through plague and the levying of ex- orbitant taxes upon its people, took him under his protection and afforded him every facility for carrying out his experiments.

 In company with another eminent chemist. Tschirnhausen. he was kept practically prisoner, as his work was kept a secret and every precaution was taken to prevent either from leav- ing the country.

 "So the phrenologist. by recognizing the qualities belonging 10 different portions of the brain, can determine to a certain extent the prevailing characteristics of man by the na- ture of his badness.
 "The man who Is bald at the crown of his head will be found to be per son of great independence of mind and inclined to be self-assertive. He will express his views regardless of opposition. and will be apt to be head strong and domineering. He will be somewhat egotistical and occasional ly dignified.

 Robert IngersoH betrayed in his bald head decided independence and littlo disposition in regard to the opin- ions of others. Popular sentiment has little effect upon a man of this stamp. "Baldness upon the top of the head, where there is no possibility of a part, accompanies a sympathetic type of mind. All philanthropists and sym pathetic people are not bald, but where badness is found in this re- zion these characteristics are sure to predominate. When there is no hair at all on the top of the head the quail ] ity of respect for character and age is largely developed, but not neces- sarily a regard for creeds and doc trines. Fine imagination and breadth of thought accompanies this type of badness Anthony Hope. the novel, ist, is a good example of this.

in days gone by some remarkable rec- ords have been established for speedy work in establishing direct communi- cation with presidential party afield
 As notable case in point 1t may be cited that in less than fifteen minutes after the late President Mckinley was shot the signal officer at the White House had secured two exclusive wires to Buffalo-one 6 telegraph wire and the other a long-distance telephone circuit. and while the President lay lowering between life and death nearly 5000 messages passed between the White House and the Milburn resi- dence. to which the stricken Executive was removed from the exposition grounds.
 The President has a private tele- graphic code, which he can use while travelling for the transmission of mes- sages that it is desired shall reach the White House-in absolute secrecy. This is seldom resorted to, however.

With the system working smoothly, the White House each day dispatches batch of mall to -the presidential train and receives from the train bundle of communi- cations, including the Presidents dic- tated instructions as to various mat ters, commissions and other papers re- turned with the presidential signature etc.
 Special Pouch, Sometimes.
 Such mail, to or from the White House, can be dispatched by special pouch if 1t Is deemed desirable, and pos tai authorities keep the White House fully advised as to the time required for transmission, so that the mail from the white House to the President Is always sure to make connection with the presidential train.
 For all that there is this continuous interchange of mall the main reliance for keepng the President in almost mo- mentary touch with the White House is placed, of course, upon telegraphic and teleph onic means. The responsi- bility for the maintenance of this elec- trical bond rests with what is known

In 1720 one of the most trust ed employees at Meissen escaped the vigilance of the factory guards and fled to Vienna, where he established a factory which afterward became quite prominent. and under the patronage of Emperor Joseph, in 17s5, employed over 500 people,
 First Decoration Poor.
 The demand for the Meissen porce- lain appears to have been so great at first that no effort was made at or iginal design. All the wares produc- ed were copies of Chinese work. and the decorative work was poorly exc lcuted In 1719 Bottger died. and six years later a change took place In im- proved manufacturing methods and style of decoration. Important dis coveries were made in the preparation of colors and copies of Dutch and Flemish paintings were painted on the porcelain, also different flowers, i'm sects, and animals.
 From this style of decoration a change soon took place to the elab- crate mayflower style. F. Tn this pat tern many small flowers were fash toned in clay and the vases elaborate ly decorated with them. giving a very heavy and cumbersome appearance to

It Is reckoned almost as great a fault in the finance minister if he has needlessly overtaxed the people as if he has so iundertaxed them as to be left with a deficit. If at the end of year a substantial surplus ap- pears. the taxation for the next year is reduced In proportion. supposing that, the expenditure remains the same. Every credit granted by pariia- ment expires of itself at the end of the financial year.

One of the most difficult tasks in connection with the carrying out of a presidential tour and one to the very necessity for which the general public seldom gives a thought is that of maintaining constantly uninterrupted communication between the White House at Washington and the Presi- dent wherever he may be.
 It is when the President sets out on a prolonged journey such as the pres ent transcontinental tour that the in telligence officers at the White House are put to their wits ends to forge an elastic communication chain that will always link the White House on wheels and the executive offices over looking the Potomac, says The Boston Globe.
 It Is not merely the distance. al- though, to be sure, that does consti- tute a handicap when the Chief Mag istrate-is upwards of 5000 miles from home. Much more serious Is the cir cumstance that the President is con stantly jumping from place to place at the behest of whirlwind itinerary and has at no time what could be dig- nified as a permanent address"

 Presidential business Is transacted through the White House even though the boss be thousands of miles away.

 During the Boer war Mir Lloyd George suffered in popularity even with his own constituents because of his violent attacks upon the governments policy.
