A PRESIDENT WHO NEITHER REIGNS
NOR GOVERNS.
Under the constitution of 1875
the French is chosen
the Senators and deputies in joint
session. This method of selection
insures the choice of man whom the
legislators and whom they
believe to be devoted to the principle
of the supremacy of the legislature
They habitually select a man who has
long been a member, and has per-
haps served an president, of one or
the other of the chambers; who has
been active in committee work, and
has perhaps held a portfolio in one
or more ministries; who not a
strenuous or aggressive, and has not
made too many personal enemies.
This president, under the provisions
of the constitution, may exercise
certain enumerated powers only in
the councils of ministers, and every
act of his must be countersigned by
a minister. The constitution also
provides that ministers are
responsible to the chambers
for the policy of
and individually
for their own personal
The French constitution vests the
appointment of the ministers in the
president, and does not require that
their appointment be confirmed by
the legislature; but by the mode of
his and the nature of his
the French President is
obliged, to lake his ministers from
the dominant party or coalition in
the Chamber of Deputies, as the
King of Great Britain takes his from
the dominant party the House of
Commons. The list is actually
drawn up by party leaders, and
the President appoints the men
whose names are submitted to him
All the powers conferred upon him
by the constitution are, in fact, ex-
by the ministers. As the
familiar French witticism puts
King of Britain

of the United States governs, but
does not reign; the President of the

good hearted but very poor
priest, living in a little village not
far from the mountains, was star-
one day by two or three sol-

with them a bleeding brigand with
a broken arm. The priest hastened
to bind up the wounded arm,

children, found crying and

humble home. Then, poor as he
was, he sent the boy to school and
the girl to n neighboring convent
and, by much self denial and in
spite of many remarks on his folly,

The Mule.
No animal is more abused than
a mule, yet few have as much good,
common sense. When a mule thinks
he has enough he quits eating. If
he is too hot he will not drink until
he has cooled off. When a horse
thinks lie has enough he is to
be foundered, and the hotter he is
the more he wants to drink. Mules
run off sometimes, but they seldom
do any damage. They soon get tired
and stop and never run into ditches
or fences. Some horses cannot, but
no mule can lie driven into a ditch
or on a dangerous bridge at night.
A mule will lie awake nights to get
a chance to kick a man or a dog,
but seldom wastes his strength on a
wagon or a buggy. A kicking horse
will kick anything and everything.
A mule has sense enough keep

will go into it almost every chance
