A PRESIDENT'S CABINET. | SOME SECRETARIES HAVE ATe TAINED GREATER FAME THAN THEIR CHIEF, While Appointments Are Political, the Cabinet is UsuaMy the Presi dent's Closest Adviser. James S. Henry. According to the old saw “it takes nine tailors to make a man,” so in the Government of the United States it takes nine Cabinet officers to make | an administration. Primarily Ameri- can cabinet officers are selected to be- come the heads of the nine great ex- ecutive departments of the Govern- ment. As one star differeth from an- other star in glory cabinet offi- cer from another in opportun- ity, ability and the power to make a lasting impression upon the history of the country.

The Impress made on national affairs by such men as Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun and Jamen G. Blaine, as ministers of state, |= greater than that of many Presidents of the United States.

A very simple way of removing a very tight ring from the finger is to take a plece of swall cord or wrapping thread and push one end of It under the ring. Then, taking hold of the other end of the string, begin winding round the finger from close up against the ring to the very tip of the finger, Then, to remove the ring, take hold of the end of the cord that was slipped under the ring and unwind the cord As the unwinding progresses the ring will be carried along with it and re woved without difficulty, State 0 EAYS to genius ity It is believe % to states than it really is.
