Although the constitution require the electors la all the states to meet and choose a president on tbe same duy, it was not until 1840 that a low was pusKod by congreM providing tbat the cits-tor should be chosen on tbs same day throughout tbe United Itates. When William Henry Harrison was the Whig candidate. In 1840, New York iM'Kflii to vote on the first Monday in .November, and the polls were kept open until 'Wednesday night Election day In MasaacbuaetU was the second Monday, but before tbat day, In this instance, enough states bad voted to de cide the coutest, Tbe National Intelll- f oncer of that year records tbat several bousuiid uiccd aud luflna Wblgs In MnHsadiusetts did not bother to go to the kjIIs. ' ' Ix'lnware voted a day latejr than MiiMsui'bUHtu. Illlnola, Indiana and Peunsylvaiila were among tbe early voting states. -Alabama was one of tbe last. This diversity, combined with alow methods of transmitting news, left the election results In doubt for many day. The syxtem was not satisfactory. The atatea that voted early had an undue Influence on the renult. Especially was , this true h coinmurilcatloo became more rapid, and by 1S40 an enthusiastic editor told how the news from Pitts burg hud been brought to New York lo thirty-five hours. "This," be added Ignltloautly, "U a algn of the times." Congress accordingly decided to ee tnbltHh a uniform day. Tbe original bill named the first Tuewlay In No vember, but It wns found necessary to bormonlxe thin with the requirement that not more than thirty days should elapse before the meeting of the elect oral college In the different states, which had lieen set for the first W'dliieeday In Decemlier. When Tues day Is the first day of November, De cember will have no. Wednesday .till the seventh. The Interval la thirty seven days. Under the law as It was passed In 1H45 not more than twenty nine daya can elapse between election day and the first Wednesday In De cember. Under the law of 1887 the electors do not meet to give their vote until tbe second Monday In January Youth's Companion. TRAVELERS' GUIDE. I TRAVELERS' QUIDS. II IS!

A cotton worsted Is a He on the face of It, for tbe cotton stands out with prominence. But often a cotton thread la twisted with a worsted thread, and to determine its presence It la only, necessary to take tbe twist out of the thread and then examine its component ports. Cotton, having a long staple, can be carded and combed with wool to be pun Into worsted yarn. This Is done to cheapen the cost of production. Cot ton Is carded and spun with' wool and shoddy, not so much to cheapen the yam, for cotton Is generally as expen sive as some ahoddies, but Is Intro duced to give strength or spinning qualities to the stock. In many cases the shoddy Is of such short staple that It would not stand the drawing In spinning, and. as It would make the cost of the yarn too high to put In enough wool to give that lacking streugtb, cottou la put In for this pur pose. The percentage of cotton In a fabric can be determined In this manner: Take a small piece of cloth and weigh It Now boll It for five minutes In a 5 per cent solution of caustic aoda. Take out what is left. and. If any, it to all cotton. The wool will all be dissolved. The percentage of ahod'dy cannot be de termined except by experience. A cloth or yarn with shoddy In It 1 nslly detected by Its feel.
