Why Washington Had to Walt Until April 30 In 1769. Although Miin.li 4 Is iho dale act by luw for the Inauguration of our presi dents, thero wua uue occasion when the rule was not observe, for George Washlngtou was inaugurated on April SO, 1780, lustead of March 4. Wlii'u the coustltiitlou Inid been rati fied by tbe requisite uumbvr of states the Coutlueutul congress by resolution of Sept l!l, 1788, set the flrat Wednes day of the following March (March 4, 17811) as tbe "time for commencing pro ceedings" under Ibe uew form of gov. ernuieuL Owing to delaya of various kinds, such aa difficulties of travel, etc., mem bera of tbe first congress were very alow to assemble In New York, and it quorum of both houses was not ob tained until April 6. Tbe counting of the electoral vot.i, the notification of Waahlugton and bis Journey from Mount Vernon to New York took until April 23, aud his inauguration was sot for April 30. Ills term of olllce was, however, con strued aa having commenced on March 4, tho date set by tbe Continental con gress for tbe Inauguration of the new government, and so it came to an 'oriel on March 4, 1703, although it lacked nearly two months of tbe four years provided for by the constitution.

Trobably nine-tenths of the fisher men hereabouts make the mistake of trying to keep their fish nllvo nfter they lire caught An the theory that the flesh will taste better after they get home and prepare thetu for the pun for cook ing. They string tbem mid keep them hi the water or let them die In the creel. I The custom Is a mistake, according way Is to kill the fish the momeut It is lauded by pushing Its head buck und thus breaking the neck or giving It a hard blow ou the head. Then tuke a kulfo and "bleed" them by running the knife blade around the bottom of the gills. "In order to get your flsh homo with out any discoloration," declares a vet eran angler, "tuke along a yard or two of white cheeseloth, and us soon ns the Bh la caught kill it und bleed It. Then dampen the cluth and wrap up each llsh separately, tuUIug care that no two flsh touch each other. "Ily doing this you will find that the flsh will retuin all tbe color mnrklng just as clear and bright as when It was first taken from tbe water and the fish will be sweet end palatable." Phila delphia Ledger. , Napoleon's Custodian at St. Helena. Sir Hudson Lowe, the mau appointed by Kngland to bo the custodian of tbe emperor, arrived at St. Helena ou April 14, 1810. His appearance was not prepossessing. He was extraordi narily thin, with a stiff carriage. He bad a long, bony fncc. blotched with red and scanty balr of a dirty yellow color. Ills hollow eyes gleamed un der thick, reddish eyebrows, but were furtive toud restless, never looking straight at any one save by stealth. "That Is a bad man," declared Na poleon when be hnd seen him. "Ills eye as he examined me was like a hyena's caught In a trap." He really resembled this horrid, sly animal In Its walk as well us In hair and eyes. He never sat down when he wus talking, but swung about hesitat ingly and with abrupt jerks. "With Napoleon at St. Helena." Life's Llttla Tragedies. A youth dushed Into the florist's shop. "There was something witfng nbout those red roses you sent the lady on Lincoln avenue." he declared. "I'm sure they were sent," replied tho florist "I remember tho order. You sukl you wanted tho very cheap est ones, a ! :en and a quarter. Here. Joe." The uew boy eauio forward. "You remember those roses you took to Lincoln avenue. Suro you got the address right?" "Yes, sir. I took It off the bill for 'em, sir." "Brlug the bill here." "I can't, sir. I put it In the box with the rosesl" Cleveluud Plain Dealer. London's Backward Suburb. Wimbledon proved Itself In one re spect tbe most backward of Loudon suburbs. Until VK2 the streets of Wimbledon were still lit by oil. and the lamplighter could be seen every even ing milking his rounds, with bis ladder on his shoulder. The Wimbledon lniu lighter used mutches Instead of tinder and steel, but otherwise ht9 methods were tbe sume as those pursued by his predecessors In tho days of Queen Anne. Loudon Mull.

It la apparent ly a universal heritage, though certain causes may operate more powerfully uiwn one Individual thau upon another to produce It In the little child whose sensibilities are uncomplicated by any uieutal experience unless they be racial ones the shock of delicate touch tick ling, aa we call It Hint causes laugh ter. Why? Tbe claim of our psychologist carries us a long leap backward! to tbe most elemental form of animal life. Beyond the savage stands the monkey and dimly far beyond him the mollusk, whoso only sense wai that of touch, Picture this great-grandfather of liv ing things lying motionless save for those nervous, fluttering, sensitive feel ers extended to play the purt of sight aud hearing. A bit of seaweed bumps against them. A apasin rucks the mol lusk's whole being, crushing liliu Into bis shell until the surprise has abated; then tho fact that no further attack follows brings relief. This Is tbe germ of tlie cause of our Hughter spasm a sudden shock. In stantly followed by a feeling of relief. Only such shocks us were followed by relief became racial memories. Where relief did not follow the clam did not lire to leave a heritage. Ilurgcs John son In Harper's Magazine. SPOILED HIS SYSTEM. Ha Thought It Couldn't Be Dona, but He Is Wieer Now. I know a man who wears his shirts In chronological order thut Is, If he buys a new shirt be tags it with bis Initials, numbers It and places It ut the bottom of tho pile. And. no matter how much ho likes It, he docs not Wear It until It comes out at the top of the pile. He went Into wordy detail about the economy of lila system, aud be added that he arranged his socks aud under wear In tho same manner. I told him thut he would meet the wontnu of his dreams some fine day and that she would knock the spots out of his system. I told him that she would admire a particular shirt, caress Its dclicute stripes lovingly and ask why he didn't wear It ofteuer. And then he would send It to the laundry as soon as It was soiled and weur It as soon as It got buck, und he would buy other shirts like it, and he would forget the system. "Don't you believe It!" he said. "The person doesn't live who could upset my system!" But I met him a few days ago for tho first time In a year. He was hur rying to catch a car. so I had only time to ask him how he was and how things were going. And bo didn't have time to e.vplulu. He only shouted over his shoulder jubilantly, "I'm wearing 'em every which way!" And I hadn't even heard he was mar ried. Cleveland Pluin Denier. Croeiing the Bar. Tennyson's famous poem "Crossing the Bar" wus written, said his son, In the poet's eighty-first year "ou a day In October when we came from Aid worth to Farrlngford. Before reaching Far ringford be bad had tlie 'moaning of tbe bar1 In his mind, and after dinner he showed me tbe poem written out That is the crown of your life's work,' " said his son, who was the first man after tho poet to read "Crossing the Bar" and who passed the first criti cism upon It In such fitting and gener ous language. "It came in a moment," said the poet, mid be explained the pi lot as the Divine and Unseen, who Is always guiding us. A day or two be fore lie died tho poet, culling his son to bis bedside, said, "Mind you put 'Cross, lug the Bur' at) the end of all editions of my poems." The Forehead and Health. The forehead is the first feature of tho face to show liidisinsltion. Tho minute one's stomach Is out of order there will be yellow spots on the brow. When one feels fnlut the forehead will Instantly show it. When one is sick thero will be freckles and pimples upon the brow, which was smeoth and clear before. The forehead Is as good an in dication of one's general health as Is the pulse. London Globe. Ugly Comparison. . "Dad, whut do they mean by peren nial?" "Continuing from year to year," an swered pop.
