Beginning with this year, all clocks in France are to be run on the twentyfour hour division. The hour of 24 is midnight, and the hour one is the first hour following.

The ordinary evening dinner will be between 18 and 19 o’clock and he who retires at ten will go to bed about 22 o’clock. Whether the new system wilt be popular or not remains to lie seen, though it has been satisfactorily used by Kime continental railroads for a few years.

Opening exercises were conducted by teacher of school. Miss Edna Fleming gave us a recitation 'Thu V» ife limiting Deacon. All the teachers of Union township were present, also the trustee. Owing to the very bad condition of the roads, only two of Root township teachers, Mr. Fonner and Mr. Troutner, were present. The chairman, Superintendent Brandyberry, gave us a very enthusiastic talk, after which the work of the program was taken up. “Organic Education” was conducted by Mr. Smith. Miss Miller read a paper on the second chapter of the subject. "How to Teach Reading” was given by Mr. Troutner. These subjects were followed by a general discussion, in which all present took part. Institute then adjourned for dinner. This part of the program was of course enjoyed by all. The afternoon session opened with a song, followed by a recitation, “The Toper,” by Miss Irene Nidlinger. Music was conducted by W. A. Fonner. The subject of History was very ably presented by W. E. Smith. This was followed by an essay, “Primeval Man,” by Mr. Kline. Mr. Spuller re id a very interesting paper on Methods in Geography. The last subject, Child Study, was given by Miss A hr. She read a short but interesting paper showing the benefits to be derived from a careful study of children. The following resolutions were adopted: Resolved that we, the teachers of Union and Root township tender a vote of thanks to the teachers and patrons of the school for the bountiful dinner given us. Resolved that we the teachers of Union township tender a vote of thanks to the teachers of Union township for the many benefits received by our union in Institute work with them during this school year. After listening to some interesting remarks by the patrons, trustee and superintendent, the institute adjourned. NOTES Mary Miller says she likes pickles. J. A. Fleming says he enjoyed the institute, especially the dinner. The majority of the Root township teachers were a minus quantity. The recitations given by Miss Edna Fleming and Miss Irene Nidlinger were highly appreciated. Superintendent Brandyberry and Mr. Troutner undertook to drive to Institute, but “stuck m Root township mud.” The teachers of Union township enjoyed working with the Root township teachers very much, and we feel that we have been greatly benefited thereby. The mud was deep but Superintendent Brandyberry kept looking for the Root township teachers. At last he saw a hat moving along above the mud. On nearer approach he saw that Mr. Fonner was furnishing the motor power.

Two ex-presidents of the United States are living, Cleveland and Harrison. Before the expiration of John Adams’ term, 1801, there was no ex-president living, Washington having died in December, 1799. During Jefferson’s administration Adams was the ex-president. Both died on the same day, July 4, 1826. Both were ex-presidents during the administrations of Madison and Monroe and a part of the administration of J. Q. Adams. When Monroe was president, the three ex-presidents were Adams, Jefferson and Madison. J. Q. Adams became president in 1825. At that time Adams. Jefferson, Madison and Monroe were living.

The ex-presidents living during his term were J. Q. Adams, Jackson and Van Buren. While Polk was president the living ex-presidents were J. Q. Adams, Jackson, Van Buren and Tyler. But before the expiration of Polk’s term Van Buren and Tyler only remained. Taylor’s term lasted less than five months. In that time Van Buren, Tyler and Polk were living, although Polk died 25 days before Taylor, thereby leaving Van Buren and Tyler living expresidents. When Fillmore was president. Van Buren and Tyler were still living. With Pierce as president, there were three living ex-presidents—Van Buren, Tyler and Fillmore. When Buchanan was president. Van Buren, Tyler, Fillmore and Pierce were living. During Lincoln’s term of office Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan were living.

During Garfield’s short term Grant and Hayes were living. In the administration of Arthur, Grant and Hayes were still living. At the time of Arthur’s death Hayes was living. During Cleveland’s first term Grant. Hayes and Arthur were living. Before the expiration of that terra only Hayes remained. With Benjamin Harrison as president. Hayes and Cleveland were living. but before the expiration of Harrison's term only Cleveland remained as a living ex-president. In Cleveland's second term there was but oue ex-president living. Harrison. During McKinley’s term the two living ex-presidents are Cleveland and Harrison. Three times in the history of the country have four ex-presidents been living at the same time, frequently three. Once there was one ex-presi-dent living during the incumbency of his predecessor, twice none.—New York Sun. Doesn't Despise Tradesmen. The Prince of Wales has not that contempt for trade which many a lesser social personage possesses. At the Marlborough club oue evening an intimate of the prince asked him how he liked the idea of having relations in business, an allusion to the two brothers of the Marquis of Lome, one of whom is a stockbroker, while the other is in the tea trade. “If would have me,” answered his royal highness, mentioning a shopkeeper on a huge scale, “1 would go Into partnership myself with him tomorrow.” The Republican Ilonsc. Miss Perine, the present owner of the house in Ripon. Wis., in which It is said the name "Republican” was first used as applied to the present party by a small company assembled there, has offered to sell the structure to the Wisconsin State Historical society. The society, however. Is without sufficient funds to accept the offer. The building was originally a schoolhouse and was altered into a dwelling house. It was at one time owned by ex-Governor Peck of Wisconsin.
