The second Tuesday I'm January is
the day when the presidential electors
IN each state OF the Union will meat
and elect a president and vice presi-
dent. Those who have been IN the
habit OF referring TO MIR. TAFT as the
president-clect have done so in antici-
patton OF results. For he IS not presi-
dent-clect until the election has actual
ly taken place.
originally the electors ala not vote
for president and vice president separ-
ately. They simply voted for their
respective candidates. and the one re-
coivlng the highest vote became presi-
dent. and the one receiving the sec
ond highest, was vice president In tho
year 1900. however. jefferson and Burr
each received the same number Of
votes. and this suggested the neccs-
slty OF change IN the Constitution.
The election in 1886 was very mix
ed affair and the Senate had to
straighton out the tangle Van Buren,
and Richard NJ. Johnson were the
Democratic candidates. and William
Henry Harrison and Francis Granger
were the choice OF the wings. Van
Buren, received 40 votes, Harrison %,
while 81 were scattered between Hugh
l.. White. Daniel Webster and Willie
p. Mangum For Vice President john
son received 49, Granger a. ana tho
others were scattered among several
candidates. No one having received
a majority. the senate settled the dif-
fculty by electing Johnson.
Since 1870 each party has held it's
own IN the electoral colleges.

DEEP-SEA RIVERS.

Sir Ray Lancaster, in the London
Telegraph bottom currents of
seas and oceans, such as those which
possibly bring amber to our shores, are
strangely disposed. The Seigneur of
Sark some fifty years ago was ship
wrecked in his yacht near the Island
of Guernsey. He lost, among other
things, a well-fastened, strongly made
chest, containing silver plate. 1t was
found a year later in deep water off
the coast of Norway and restored to
him.
In the really deep sea, over 1000
fathoms down, there are well-marked
broad currents which may be described
as rivers of very cold water (only
four degrees or SO above freezing
point). They flow along the deep-sea
bottom and are sharply marked oft
froE the warmer waters above and to
the side. Their inhabitants are diff
ferent from those of the warmer wa
ter They are due to the melting of
the polar ice, the cold water SO form
ed sinking at once owing to its greater
density below the warmer water of
the surface currents. These deep cur
rents originate in both the arcticsand
antarctic regions.

clare 10 the Mexican people that our
frlehas- the North Americans. are not
responsible for the foolishness which is
printed about us.
That nation would certainly do
wrong 10 hate q country which. like
Mexico, has known how to be loval
10 a friendship promised for reasons
OF high civllizati0n-reasons which

vents capable OF having created
moral frontier of insurmountable walls.
We have been faithful friends as

willingly closed their eyes to the thou,

which seek faultfnding only.
''The Indignation which arises with

we DO not wish TO castigate him for
fear that wounded patriotism may en-

But the American who insults us
can not but be unjust and ungrateful.
And something more, somewhat of
coward and narrow minded, because
he attempts to destroy the work of
harmony and reconciliation achieved
by two peoples and two governments.

GOOD QUALITIES
or THE ESKIMOS

Vilhialmar Stetansson, in writing of
his thirteen months stay among the
Eskimos, tells in Harper s Magazine of
their great kindness to a guest who
could not pay for his keep, stranger
whose purpose among them they did
not know: ''In an Eskimo home /
have never heard an unpleasant word
between a man and his wife, never seen
a child punished nor an old person
treated inconsidera&ely. The household
affairs are carried on in an orderly
way and the good behavior of the
children is remarked by practically
every traveller. In many things, we are
the superiors of the Eskimo; in a few
we are his interiors The moral value
of some of his superiority is small. He
can make better garments against cold
than our tailors and furriers; he can
thrive in barren wastes where New
Englander would starve. But of some
, of his superiority the moral value is
great. He has developed individual
equality further than we, he is less
selfish, more helpful 30 his fellows,
kinder to his wife, gentler to his child,
more reticent about the faults of his
neighbor than any but the rarest and
best of our race. When / tried to
express thanks for their kindness in

LADY MEMBERS
OF THE GARTER

Court JournaI-It is not generally
known that at one time there were lady
members of the Order of the Garter.
Each lady of the order wore on her
left arm a garter similar to that of a
knight. was considered a member of
the order and was styled FLady of
the Society of the Carter" Nothing
is now known of the form or manner
of the reception of female members,
but the description applied to them in
records leaves no doubt of their hav-
ing been regularly admitted.
The lists in existence of lady mem
bers of the Garter are full of interest
and contain many noble names. Among
them are Joan Plantagenet, the fair
Maid of Kent, widow of the Black
Prince and many other royal ladies,
besides numerous ladies of noble and
gentle birth. The last lady Knight of
the Garter was Margaret Beaufort,
Countless of Richmond, mother of
Henry VII. and afterward wife of the
first Earl Of Derby; but in the next
reign change came over the scene.
With Henry VIII. on the throne there
was no longer devotion to women of
king and knight, and woman's rights
We're forgotten. The ungallant Henry
discountenanced female association
with the chivalry Of st. George, and
the orders brilliancy was dimmed. At
tempts have been made to repair
Henry's deed, but nothing has come
of them.
There are two places where efigies
of lady members of the Order of St.
George with the garter on their arm,
carved in stone, may be seen. One is
at Ewelme Church, in Oxfordshire,
where is the tomb of the Countess of
Suffolk, daughter of Sir Thomas
Chauser and granddaughter of the
poet. with her left arm encircled with
the garter. In the same county, at
Stanton Harcourt. the ancient seat of
the Harcourt family, six miles west of
Oxford. the efigy of Lady Harcourt,
daughter of Sir John Byron of Clayton,
and wife of Sir Robert Harcourt, who
was elected x. G.. in 1861, is also rep
resented with the garter of the cele-
brated order of knighthood on her left
arm In this monument not only is the
garter tied. around Lady Hareourt s
arm. but at the head of the tomb are
the bearings of her husband, impaling
within a garter the lady's own arms.
