 V|CE PRESIDENTS

When Nice-Presidents die in office they have no successors. The Pres ident pro tenn. of the senate presides over that body. but he is not now eligible 10 the Presidency in the event of d vacancy.
 The late MT. Sherman is the only ed a renomination. The only Vice-Pres- idents reelected to that office were John Adams, George Clinton. Dan iel D. Tompkins and John C. Cal houn.
 Five Vice-Presidents became Presi- dents by the death of the chief ex- ecutive, viz: Tyler. Fillmore. John son. Arthur and Roosevelt; and four Vice-Presidents were elected to the Presidency. viz: John Adams. Thos, Jefferson. Martin Van Buren, and Theodore Roosevelt.
 Seven Vice-Presiden,s have died in office-Clinton. Gerry. King. Will. son. Hendricks. Hobart and sherman.
 It is the habit of some people to ridicule the Vice-Presidency. but, many of our most notable men have held the office.
 Scandal of one kind or another has attached to it. Aaron Burr was a Vice-President when he kill

Beautiful lips and mouths going? Oh, my no! l find. really, great preponderance of pretty mouths. and might add. eyes. The trouble lies not there. It Is much more difficult to find girl whose nose will uphold the extreme beauty of her mouth.
 Far from losing beauty, I am of the opinion that women's mouths are gaining in attractiveness. that there are many more different types of beautiful lips than in former times. This softness and light are brought out, think, by the smile. A ma. tural smile, not grin which is disfigurement. adds to the beauty of a woman's mouth and her lips It brings out all the attractive curves which may look stern with the face in repose. A woman's most beau tiful smile is one in which she does not even part her lips. or if she does, it is just to accentuate the tender

CANCELLED A $1,000 BILL
LEvEE BOARD WON'T BE CHARGED
FOR THE CONVICTS.
Matter Brought Before the Prison Trus'
tees and the Account Formerly Rem
dered Will Not Be Pushed for
Collection.

Jacksonville board of trustees OF the
penitentiary recalled its bill rendered to
the board of Mississippi levee commits
sioners for the services of convicts dur
ing the overflow period, amounting to
about S 1000.
Bill had been rendered at the rate OF
81 per day for each convict employed on
the levees during the high water stage.
Hon. J. L.. Hebron appeared before the
body, representing the levee board, stated
that the organization was %endeavoring to
adopt a policy Of rigid economy, and, ow'
ing to the heavy expense incurred in
holding the levee lines together during
high water, it would be greatly appreci'
ated if the board would cancel the bill
After brief consideration the trustees
decided that, inasmuch as the preserva
ton OF the levee lines is a matter OF i'm
portance to the entire state, it would b.
entirely proper to cancel the bill, an'
an order was entered accordingly.

Writer'S cramp a Mlsnomer.

Medical authorities now claim that
writer's cramp" and other similar
states of apparent muscular paralysis
are actually due. not to the firing OF
the muscles, but to brain flag. 1t ap-
pears that the particular part OF the
brain which controls special combina-
tions Of muscle action, such as the
movements of writing or the working
Of a telegraph key, tends to become
more quickly exhausted in some indi'
viduals than In others. Such exhaus'
ton leads to a state In which the
brain is actually unable to send OUT
its necessary messages to the hands
and fingers to write, tap a key, hole
q violin bow, etc. Furthermore, once
the nerve cells, the batteries" OF the
brain, get thoroughly run down, 1t II
not easy to restore their energy. Here
tofore 1t has been supposed that al
troubles Of the kind were due simpl!
to overtiring Of the muscles con
cerned.
