While the preaWent of the Doited
ptatee date* official documents from
the year of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, there hr no law on the sub
ject, and the custom Is neither general
nor binding, the form being used only
In proclamations by the president It
originated before the adoption of the
constitution during the days of the
confederacy.
The original articles of confederation
■how -they were signed by the dele
gates "at Philadelphia, in the state of
Pennsylvania, the 9th day of July, in
the year of our Lord, 1778, and In the
third year of the Independence of
Amerlca. H The signers dated “the In
dependence of America” from the Dec-
I laratlon of Independence, July 4. 1770,
* although the war waa still young and
continued several years longer. The
constitution shows It was signed “the
17th day of September A. D., 1787, and
of the Independence of the United
States of America the 12th."
The first proclamation Issued by
Washington as president was, "Oiven
under my hand and the seal of the
United States In the city of New York
the 14th day of August A. D., 1790,
and In the fifteenth year of the sov
ereignty and independence of the
United States." He used the phrase
“sovereignty and Independence” in
two proclamations and then dropped
the word sovereignty.
All subsequent executive proclama
tions are dated from the year of Inde
pendence, as beginning July 4, 1776,
although the Independence of the Unit
ed States was not acknowledged till
several ; years later. — Philadelphia

Origin ef th# Tsrm That Stands For
Stupid Mediocrity.
Several years ago an eastern art crit
ic waxed sarcastic concerning a collec
tion of painting* on view at one of the
leading New York dubs. In the course
of a vitriolic tirade he relieved hlm-
aelf of the assertion that the exhibi
tion consisted elitedy- nf ktt-eet |*nr-
tralts. Those who went to the clule
rooms expedlint to see canvases adorn
ed with feline compositions were con
demned to dlsapi>oliittiient. There w.is
not a cat picture In the whole show.
“What is a kit-cat portrait?" was the
burning question of the hour. Why. u
stupid portrait, a commonplace piece
of imlutlng that reveals no glimmer of
genius. At thU stage of the explana
tion the Inevitable Interruption—"Hut
why do you cull It a kit-cat picture?”
And not one critic-out of a hundred
had the remotest idea.
The term for stupid mediocrity had
Its origin In a collection of forty-two
portraits of prominent men painted be
tween 1703 and 1720 by Sir (iodfrey
Kneller, one of the last known Hritlsti
portrait painters. They were exactly
the same sire and were framed alike;
lienee the Idea of monotony which led
to the Idea of mediocrity. The sub
jects of these imrtrnlts were member*
of a club that mot In the tavern of a
celebrated pastry cook. Christopher Cat
—called Kit for short-and among them
were such men ns Addison. Steele,
Walpole and Marlborough. It was the
Influence of this club that placed Ueorge

without my permission. Why did you
do It?
Miss Molly (aged twelve)—Why, dail-

I hadn't n pair to wear!
Displeased Parent—It was very
wrong of you to buy the gloves with
out asking either your mother or me
about It.
Miss Molly—Well, never mind, daddy,
dear. They won’t cost anything. I
had them charged!—New York Post.
Her Conscience.
In spite of scoldings, Helen persisted
In running away from home. One day,
after a longer absence than usual, her
mother asked:
“Helen, dear, dobs not your con
science trouble you when you are run
ning away from mother?" explaining
that her' conscience was a little voice
4. speaking within. Helen answered:
"Oh, yes," mamma; that little voice Is
always saying. ’Hun faster, faster, Hel-
en; your mother Is after you!’ "—Pitts
