Marked ' Improvements In the physical condition of the children follow these lessons. They walk and stand more correctly and there Is a visible betterment In their manners and health. The picture shows a group of them enjoying one of their figure dances on the lawn at Central park. VEGETABLE HINTS. In preparing vegetables re member to Keep dry vegetables covered and green vegetables uncovered. Cook string beans and spinach in plenty of boiling water. Green vegetable * must be put In boiling water , salted , to be oooked , end dry vegetables In cold water , not oaltod , until they are about half done. Wash green vegetables quick ly. Do not let them remain in water. | Whitening Doorsteps. i To whiten a doorstep mix a little quicklime with half n plut of sklm- mllk. Having flrst washed the door step , pnlnt It over with this mixture. The rain will not wash it off. Waist Musolea Atrophy. Simple exercise without stays will do much to keep a youthful flguro. However successful stays may bo In giving a woman the correct figure now , she must make provision for the future , for if she is stout nnd flesh Is compressed under the strong stnys she later may llnd that the compres sion may cause muscles and cords to lose their natural elasticity. It stands to reason that if they are never used and much of the time are compressed under tight stays they will grow flabby. Ten minutes given in the morning to muscular work before putting on stays is certainly worth trying. An excellent movement Is to try to bend from the waist , going low whllo keep ing the knees straight. Under no cir cumstances are the knees to bend , for then there Is no work done by the hips. Bending over front , back and sideways is Umbering. AN AMERICAN SULTANA ' MERICAN women have acquired all manner of titles , but probably the most remarkable of nil Is thnt borne by Mine.

PRESIDENTS OF Taft More Fortunate Pierce's Council Remained Than Most of His Unbroken During Predecessors His Term LTHOUail Mr. Taft has made two changes In his cabinet , Fisher succeeding Halllugor and Stlmson taking the place of Dickinson , tills number Is net un usual enough to arouse the surprise which Is expressed In some quarters. The president , Indeed , Is more fortu nate than moHt of his predecessors lia\e been In letalnlng the services of his political family. In his four years of service It Is to be presumed that he did not expect to eipial the record of Pierce , whose council remained unbroken - broken to tlie end of the term. In fact , some presidents have had moro changes In the ranks of their olllclal ulvlsors In a single year than the pres ent u.MHMithe has had in two years and a quaitor. On this score Mr. Taft has fared well. While the term cabinet Is not men tioned In the constitution , this has be come a very Important part of the ex ecutive machinery. Although the fed eral charter does not mention this body by name , It assumes that such a council will be created and refers to It In article U , section 2 , which au thorizes the president to "require the opinion In writing of the principal of- llcer In each of the executive depart ments upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective olllces. " More than once the first president called for such opinions. Ho did this In a historic exigency , that which was created by the passage through con gress of the bill to create the llrst rnlted States bank , that which was chartered In 1791. Hamilton , the sec retary of the treasury , was the author of that measure , which many of the state rights advocates opposed as an unconstitutional stretch of power by congress. Washington asked the views In writing of all Ills advisers. Jeffer son , the secretary of state , opposed the bank , but Hamilton's argument prevailed with Washington , and ho signed the bill. In later days the cus tom for the president lias been to have regular consultations with the cabinet , before whom all matters of large Im portance are laid. This has boon the practice within the recollection of everybody now alive. Cabinet Acquires Prestige. Cut the cabinet In recent times has had a dignity and a prestige which It did not possess at tlrst. lu certain contingencies the presidency may do- vohe upon some of Its members. Mong until 1880 , if there were no pres ident or vice president , the presidency would be obtained by the president pro tempore of the senate or the speaker of the house , In this order , but the as sassination of Garueld in 1881 , when there was no president pro tcmporu and no speaker of the house , for con gress had not met at that time , im pelled house and senate to provide for a crisis of this sort Tims a bill was passed , which was signed by Clove- laud on Jan. 19 , 1SSC , which placed the members of the cabinet In the line of succession , the order being the sec retary of state , the secretary of the treasury , and so on. Of course the cabinet olllcer in order to be eligible would have to meet the requuements of birth and age which are demanded in presidents. The act of 1SSO gives the cabinet a certain Importance which It lacked up to that time. In the accidents and mischances of the fu ture It Is altogether possible that the big otlice may descend to one of the president's appointees. Only four members were In the cabi net in Washington's time. These were the headof the state , the treasury and the war departments and the attorney general. It was said that Washington selected members from each party Im partially in framing his cabinet. In the sense in which this assertion Is commonly made it is not quite correct. Hamilton nnd Jefferson , the two mo-t prominent members of the llrst jnesl dent's council , did Indeed belong to dlllVrent schools of political thought It Is probable , however , that this cir cumstance did not have any Influence with Washincton in making the se lections. When he entered olllce par ty lines hud not boon drawn. Two elements were In the convention which framed the constitution , nnd Washing ton presided over that body. The ad vocates of the constitution as framed frero called Federalists , and its oppo nents were named Antlfederalists. This division appeared In n much more decisive form In the state conventions which were held to ratify or reject that charter. The Federalists triumphed. In the earlier congresses the same political terms were used. In tlio souse , however , of defending the constitution Jefferson nud Hamilton were Federalists , but soon after it went into operation the term Feder alists was restricted to the men who wanted to give congress largo powers , led by Hamilton , while these who would confine Its powers to ( ho rigid letter of the instrument began under Jefferson's lend < o call themselves Ho- publicans. Most of the Antlfederalists were In the Itepuljllcan party , the pro genitor of the present Democratic par ty. Additions lioirnn to be madu to the circle of members of the president's council In 171W. when the olllco of sec- mtnrv of the nnvy was created. Jolin Adams was the president at that time. Previously tln > duties of that post were In ch irgu of Hi" secretary of war. In IS20 Jack&on called the postmaster ueneral Into his council. The olllce of secretary of the Interior dates from c aa IS ID , when Taylor entered the presi dency. At that time and for forty years afterward the cabinet consisted of seven members. These comprised its number through the civil war pe riod. The secretary of agriculture ap peared la the closing days of Cleve land's first term , and Norman J. Col- man of Missouri was the first person who held that title. Early in Hooso- velt's service and largely through Ills Influence the department of commerce and labor was created , with Its chief a member of the cabinet. To that post Hoosovelt appointed his private secre tary , Cortelyou. Adnms Made Few Changes. Next to Pierce , the president who made the fewest changes In Ills cabi net was John Qulncy Adams. He made only one. Near the end of the term Peter II. Porter of New York suc ceeded James Harbour of Virginia as secretary of war. And Adams , like Pierce , was fairly well served by his olllclal advisers. All were men of high standing In their day. Those who are best known to readers of history are Henry Clay , who was secretary of state ; Hlehnrd Hush , secretary of the treasury ; John McLean , postmaster general , nnd William Wlrt , attorney general. Plerco's cabinet's best known members were William L. Marcy , sec retary of state ; James Guthrle , secre tary of the treasury ; Jefferson Davis , secretary of war , and Caleb Cushim ; , attorney general. Marcy Is the man who , as a senator from New York , made use of the phnrse , "To the victor belong ( he spoils of the enemy , " mean ing to the victor In politics. This was during Jackson's administration and was In justification of Jackson's course in turning his party enemies out of the federal appointive oliices and put- ling his friends In. This was the spoils system , so called , which raged until mitigated by the civil service act of l s , ' ! , signed by President Ar thur Guthrlo was mentioned early In 1C01 as being one of the southern ene mies of Ills party whom Lincoln was considering as possible selections fnr his cabinet. Lincoln found it neces sary or expedient , however , to give all the places to Kcpnbllcnns. An upheaval occurred in Jackson's cabinet In 1S31 , in the troubles in which Jackson and Cnlhoun found themselves in hostile camps In the Democratic party. These were duo to two Issues. One was the Il ht which the wives and daughter * of Vice Pres ident Cnlhoun and some of the mem bers of the cabinet made against the wife of Secretary of War Eaton , and the other came through the nullifica tion movement in South Carolina , w hlch was led by Cnlhoun and Ilnync. The first was facetiously styled the "Peggy O'Ncil war. " Mrs. Eaton was the daughter of n Washington tavern Keeper named O'Ncil , who married a naval oflicer named Tlmborlake. Gos sip , especially by women , made rather free with the name of Timberlake's wife , and he committed suicide. Then she married General John II. Eaton , a neighbor and friend of Jackson , whom Jackson , when entering olllce In 182 ! ) , appointed secretary of war. The wo men of the court circle refused to re ceive Mrs. Eaton , while Jackson , who had long been acquainted with her and who admired her , took her side. As tlie husbands of these women were ei ther unwilling or unable to constrain their wives to tender the ordinary courtesies to Mrs. Eaton the matter became nn Issue in Democratic fac tional politics. The result was the res ignation of pome of the member * of the cabinet , led by Jackson's friend , Van Burcii , w ho was n widower and who was free to extend all the conven tional courtesies to Mrs. Eaton. With Van Huron and Eaton out of the cabi net Jackson forced the friends of Cnl- houn out , and a new council was tlie result. This cabinet squabble thrust Cnlhnun out of the line fur the suc cession to the presidency and put Van Huron in his place. .Nullification , how ever , and the knowledge that Cnlhoun as secretary of war under Monroe had favored a court martial for Jackson for his too exuberant activity in the Crook war did more even than the Eaton Imbroglio toward turning "Old Hickory" against the South Carolinian. Along until Jack-on's day , except In the case of Hamilton and Jefferson In Washington's cabinet and a few of the members of the council of John Ad ams , fairly harmonious relations exist ed among the official advisers of the presidents , broken in the case of Mon roe and Crawford , the soctetary of the treasury. U was said that for a time there were strained relations between these two , although in the campaign of 1S21 the gossip of the day said that Monroe would have prefemd Craw ford for president to any of the other competitors-John Qulncy Adam- * An drew Jiekson n "l Floury Clay. In Tyler's cc e there was almost n complete reorganization of the onblnr-t very early At Harrison's tlcnth n month after the Inaugnratlon Tyler "took over" all tlio members of Ills cabinet. In the o.ur.i session which was called by Harrison , but which Harrison did not live to.see , on Issue came up which split the Whig party , which had elected Harrison and Ty ler. This was the United States bank. Clay attempted to restore the bank , w hlch had been killed by Jackson long before that time. Tyler vetoed the bank bill. Another bill with the same purpose Intew , but modified with the hope of meeting Tyler's objections , was aNo vetoed. Then all of his eabl net as a rebuke resigned all e\cept Webster , the secretary of state , who was etigaued In nn important negotia tion with England and who retained olllce until that measure was consum mated. This was the Webstcr-A- burton treaty of ISl'J. Afterward he. too , stepped down The Whlgti went through the form of reading Tyler out of their parly , nnd for the latter part of his son Ice he was a president with out any recognized political support ers of any consequence Ho drifted back to the Democratic party and was a member In good standing In that or gnnlzation during the latter yenra of his life. Lincoln held similar relations * to his cabinet that Jefferson did to his olll clal advisers. 1U was one of them nnd submitted most of Ills propositions to them freely nnd fully. According to Jefferson's own testimony , there was a fraternal feeling between him and every member of hl.s council. All had hl.s confidence , nnd nil were lojnl to him. One of his cabinet , Madison , the secretary of state , became his political litical- heir and was his successor In the White House. Chase , the secre tary of the treasury , was a rival of Lincoln for the presidential nomina tion In ISHI , but when ( ho He-publican niembeis of tlio legislature of bis own state , Ohio , oiuly In ( hat year declared In favor of 1.IIH olu's ivitoinlnatlon Cha o directed his boomers to desist. Lincoln retained Ills regard to ( lie end for his finance ni'iiMer. and i.fler Chase's iv l'iintlini Lincoln appointed him chief Justice of the supreme court. Several chnntics. some through death and others through resignation , took place lu the cabinet during Lincoln's four years and six weeks In the presi dency , but considering the Importance of the Issues and the laborious char acter of the work which president and cabinet were compelled to do the har mony lu the war oxecutlve'u political family was remarkable. Attacks on Johnson and Tyler. Johnson Inherited nil of Lincoln's cabinet , nnd some of the members Seward , secretary of state ; McCulloch secretary of the treasury , and Welles secretary of the navy remained v\lth him to the end , With one of the mem bers Stnnton , secretary of war John son had a serious breach , and this had some influence toward precipitating the feud with the Hepubllcan con gress In which the bouse Impeached Johnson and in which , by n narrow margin , ho escaped conviction by the senate as the trial jury and consequent quent removal from olllce. The at t'U'ks on Johnson by the party which elected him \\ere lien or than were made on Tyler a quarter of a century earlier by the Willis. There was an Important difference , however , in the two i a'.es. Willie Tyler was a Wing nt the time of his election as vice president on ( lie Harrison ticket , Johnson w lien lie was selected as run nlnj ; mate with Lincoln was not a He- publican. Ik1 was a war Democrat. Nobody wh' ' > voted for Johnson In the national convention supposed that lie v\.is a Hepu'illenn. The convention itself was n Union convention and not a Hepubllcan gathering. While most of his delegates hail voted the Hepub llcan ticket in 1SCO nnd voted it in ISP. ' ' , some of the delegates to the con vention of ISO ! were Democrats In the e years. The issue in 1801 was the preservation of the Union by vig orous and unrelenting war. The par- ti.snit status of Johnson needs to bo Kept In mind In Judging him because of the rupture between him and the Hepubllcan congress. Grant , who had no political experi ence when llrst elected , chose the members of his cabinet by personal I reference. As a consequence he made many mistakes , although he had made very few in his selections and recom mendations of generals in the civil war ' era. Many changes took place In the cabinet < lurlng Grant's eight years In | olllce. More titterings of the cabinet j roll took place in Hoosevelt's seven and ' a half years In the White House , how-1 ever , than had ever been made prevl- ' otisly. lie did moro shifting from on > | | pi.-t to another in his political family 1 than any other president had done.

MAY BE BULLFIGHTS ON AMERICAN SOIL Elaborate Preparations In Salt Lake Include Matadors and Mexican Bulls. Indicatliuu that an attempt is to be made to have real bullfights on Ameri can soil are causing much excitement among people In Salt Lake City who are opposed to siah things. There are evidences that the same forces which prevented the Johnson-Jeffries tight in Utah will soon be arrayed to prevent a spectacle which they would consider far worse than pugilism. There were hints of great thing" ? to come n few weeks ago when Felix Hubert , a French matador , recently arranged with the management of Saltalr , a resoit on the Great Salt lake , for a great Spanish festival , to begin July 2:2 : and last eight da.vs. No alarming announcement of a real bull fight was made , but it was said that real men of the bull ring would be picbent , and hints were given that their talent would not be entirely wasted. Now the management of Saltalr has made it known that Itobert , who went to Mexico recently to arrange for the toreadors , dancing girls and others for the troupe , has engaged some of the' most successful bullfighters ot the capital itself. More significantly , it Is announced that ho has purchased a carload of specially bred lighting bulls such as are killed In the rings in Mex ico. It K remarked by one local pa per that evidently "something out of the ordinary Is in store for people who attend that affair. " Except on Sun days evening performances are I * bo given in an Inclosuru that certainly closely resembles a bull ring. It is only since tlie announcement of the purchase of the specially broil bulls that the church people of Salt Lake City have begun to be aiou d They cannot understand why uo-ed toreadors and line bulls are brought unless for real hullllghts and su-ne. t that there Is a purpose quietly to In troduce such performances and t'un ' attempt to give thciiTMn other state- .
