ENGLISH PRIME MINISTER. He Hm the Bight to Advise an to Every Department. Let us consider for a moment what is the real as contrasted with the theoretical position of the prime minister. In the first place, , the prime minister, as a rule, makes his cabinet. He is commissioned by the queen to form a cabinet because he is the man whom she considers to possess the confidence of the ma jority of the house of commons. He forms his cabinet by asking certain members of the two houses to hold the great offices of state. Ho might do this in one day and without con sulting any one. As a matter of fact, what usually happens is this : As soon as the com mission to form a government has been received the prime minister takes into his confidence the two or three men who will hold tho chief offices, and they together talk over the other names. When a man is decided upon, he, as a rule, joins the conclave and helps to consult as to men and places, and so the cabinet gradually evolves itself. No doubt, as generally happens in this world, the prime minister's choice is never Teally free. Certain men must be in the cabinet whatever happens, and hence they may be said not to be chosen by the premier, but to be ' ministers in their own right In spite, however, of this, the fact that they are asked to serve by the premier makes them feel his su periority. When the cabinet is made, the theory of the unwritten consti tution is that the cabinet governs. In reality it seldom does anything of the kind. Each cabinet minister has very great power in his own de partment, but the cabinet as a cabi net can do little. Since, however, it knows every thing or almost everything that is going on it can exercise a great deal of indirect power. The pre vious knowledge that the majority of the cabinet would like or dislike a particular policy has a great influ ence, hut still the cabinet does not rule. Who, then, really rules? The prime minister, but limited in a way .which we must describe later. "What gives the prime minister this power? In the first place, he sum mons ' and presides over and so largely controls the cabinet meet ings. Next, if a vacancy occurs, he fills it, and so can promote men from the lower to the higher offices. Then he can and does confer with his colleagues in regard to the business of their departments, and so has a hold upon the whole machine gov ernment. Sir Robert Peel saw every member of his cabinet separately every day. Again, if there is a difference be tween two other members of the government, the premier decides. If there is an :irreconciiable difference between himself and a minister, it is the minister and not the premier who resigns. Lastly, the prime min ister can, by resigning himself, dis solve the whole ministry. These things, small in themselves, taken together, make the prime minister's position what it is. He makes and can unmake a cabinet. He presides over it, and he has the right to ad vise in regard to every department, though this right is, of course, sel dom exercised, and he has secured to him beforehand the support of the rank and file of any cabinet if it comes to a struggle between him and a colleague, because the rank and file know that if the premier is beaten he has it in his power to up set the whole' machine of govern ment Hence the voices of those who want to keep in office are al ways found on the side of the pre mier.?London Spectator. Man Eating Sharks. The man eating fish par excel lence is the great white shark. It is otherwise known by the name of man eater. Occasionally specimens are seen on both coasts of the United States, though its more customary habitat is in tropical waters. This frightful creature attains a length of nearly 40 feet, and it is able to swallow a mart whole. This fact is proved by an experiment which sail ors are fond of making when such a shark is captured. The skull be ing preserved, they amuse them selves by crawling one after another through the distended jaws. It woidd be unsafe to do this, however, when the head has been freshly cut off, because under such conditions the jaws will snap together fiercely for some time afterward if anything is placed between them. The skull of a big shark, by tin? way. is al ways salable, owing to the demand by museums aud quriosity limiters. A young sea lion weighing 100 pounds has been found in the stom ach of a white shark.?Rene Bach in Boston Transcript. Happy Days of Vore.

Durine Breeding- Time They Aro Like Birds of the Country. The gulls breed in marshy places, sometimes at a considerable distance from the sea, returning to the coast as soon as the duties of incubation are over and reappearing in the fol lowing spring. During the breeding season they become, to all intents and purposes, birds of the country, not only in their habitat, but in their habits, and are to be reckoned in no small degree among the farm er's friends. The number of their breeding places in Britain L as di minished considerably within his toric times. Sir Thomas Browne tells us that in his day these birds were in such plenty about Horsey that "the country people sometimes brought them in carts to Nor wich and sold eggs in puddings." The colony at Horsey was dispersed early in this century, and oattlo ! graze on the excellent pasture land which has been formed by the drain ing of the marshes. The colony did not, in a body, seek a fresh breed ing place, but spread themselves in small parties over the broads. Some came to nest at Rollesby for a few seasons, but the erection there of the Yarmouth water works, it is said, disturbed them and eventual ly drove them away. Of all the new colonies, the most successful has beim that at Hove ton, not far from Wroxham, the well known yachting center, where they bred intermittently till 1854, when as many as 30 nests were hatched off. From that date the col ony may be said to have settled there permanently, and they have been consistently protected. Some doubtless went to i;he noted breed ing place at Scoulton mere, probably the largest in the kingdom, known, like the vanished one at Horsey, to Sir Thomas Browne, who, when treating of these birds, wrote to Merritt that "great plenty thereof have bred about Scoulton mere, and from thence sent to London. ' And at this place they have bred from time immemorial. The village of Scoulton lies on the high road between Watton and Nor wich, and not far from the village) is the famous mere, some two miles round, in the middle of which is a large swampy island, with a thick growth of spear grass and reeds, and bearing a few willows. About the middle of February the birds be gin to come in, and the stream of immigration continues for about three weeks, when the nesting com mences. Not that a nest, in the or dinary sense of the word, is always built?at any rate at Scoulton?for the eggs are sometimes deposited in a hollow on the ground. Generally, however, there is some kind of a nest of sedges, reed tops and with ered grass. The birds begin to lay in April, if the weather is mild, and as soon as they have fairly settled down the eggs are gathered for the market, and sometimes as many as 2,0.00 have been taken in one day. When the birds are in full laying, and have been loft from Friday till Monday undisturbed, over 3,000 eggs have been collected. No more than three are laid the first time, though if these are taken, the bird will lay again, but in the second and third clutch there are rarely more than two. During the breeding season the birds spread over the country in search of food, following the plow, picking up grubs and worms turned up by the share. One is glad to know that the farmers have remem bered their feathered friends. Lub hock, in his "Fauna of Norfolk," says that now and then a year of jubilee is given, when no eggs are taken, and that on one occasion the eggs were spared at the instance of the neighboring farmers, who just ly valued the services of these birds in the destruction of grubs, etc. As soon as the young birds can fly the colony breaks up, and its members depart to the coast, where, as a rule, they spend the autumn and winter. By the middle of August the gulls have left their breeding place, to re turn no more till the following sea son.?London Telegraph. - An Enthusiastic Astronomer.

J.CHENEY 4 CO., ? ,O. ??TSoId by Drogst?Cirm AN ADVENTUROUS LOCKET. Stolen by s Bun till, It Wns Afterward Re turned to lie OwDor. I had spent several weeks at home after graduating from college, when my father, who was exceedingly fond of travel, proposed our taking a few months' trip through the United States, Canada and Mexico. We had already visited the many points of interest in the two former countries and had crossed the Rio Grande to the city of El Paso, where we met with ilio - thrilling expe riences which I am shout to relate. On arriving in El F??:o we register ed at the-Hoty-io, the largest hotel in the town. Though wc in tended remaining here for only three or lour days, wc were forced to lengthen oxiv stay owing to sudden wr-riii spell, which forbade our traveling farther south for a few days longer. Quito a number of Philadelphias were stopping at the hotel, and it is needless to say we soon made their acquaintance. We were six days in El Paso, when two gentlemen wanted us to accompany them to the swamp five miles out side tho town, in which grew a fa mous herb supposed to have great supernatural powers. Owing to our monotonous surround i ngs, vre wel comed the invitation, and at 2 p. m. the following dny we started out on horseback with our new friends. We had gone two o" three miles, and were resting on tho summit of a hill, enjoying the far famed Mexi can scenery, wbc" five men rushed out from the brushwood near by and suddenly called "Halt!" Our two companions, seeing tho danger and being in the advance, spurred their horses and made a des perate rash down tho hill. A shower of arrows followed them, but owing to the swiftness of their steeds they escaped safely from the bandits. The latter then crowded ? about us, and in one voice ordered us to givo up the contents of our pockets. Be ing without arms, we made no re sistance whatever, and the robbers were feoon searching through our pockets for booty. Fortunately, our lives were not in peril, though our molestera occasionally handled us pretty roughly. They spoke fre quently to us, hut my father, being overcome by nervous exhaustion, made no reply. At last, when an at tempt was made to remove a lockot from his neck, he looked imploring ly at the robber and said, "Take all but this, friend; it's a picture of my dead wife." The robber scanned the delicate features in the picture and hesitated, but feeling the eyes of his companions centered upon him he cut the chain quickly and took possession of the jeweled lock et Was it imagination that made my father think that the robber softly pressed his hand on leaving him? After taking possession of everything valuable about our per sons, the chief of the bandits blew a shrill whistle and in an instant his followers were lost in the for ests of El Paso. With some difficulty we succeeded in finding tbj& road to the town and had only proceeded half a mile when we met a rescuing party coming to our assistance. On seeing us both safe and sound the party gave three loud cheers, and we were carried back in triumph to the hotel, where the guests crowded about us to hear our thrilling expe rience. My father soon rbcovered from the effects of the shock, and in a few days we proceeded on our journey through the south. Six months later we were seated one morning in our office on Walnut street when a distinguished looking man, whose face seemed familiar, asked to see my father privately. He was ushered into the inner office. As soon as the door was closed be hind him he pulled a parcel from his pocket and said: "Mr. -, this parcel belongs to you. You will find a note of explanation within." Without further conversation he left the office and walked into the street. Having heard what had transpired, I hastened to open the package, and to my astonishment found the valuable locket, with my mother's picture, which had been wrung from my father's neck. Ac companying it was the following note: Mr. ? Deau Sir?Inclosed find tbu locket so valu able to you. Your lonR, white hair and pitiful eyes so touched a robber's heart that ho came from the forests of El Paso to return the min laturo of your beloved wife. Most sincerely yours, li. t?. ?Philadelphia Times. Tho National Hall of Statuary.

A Russian artist who has so thor oughly mastered the English lan guage that all its subtleties are as familiar to him as are those of the language of the czar was telling a few friends about the difficulties he encountered. "You have so many superfluous letters," he said, "that when I began to think I was becom ing a master of your language I suc ceeded in having myself laughed at a dozen times a day. I began to learn English in Boston, its Ameri can fortress. One day while walk ing with a friend I saw a street sign. 'Oh,'I said, 'what a funny name for a street! Kneeland street!'

The Danube was for a time a sufficient protection against the Scythians, but soon better defense was needed, and Trajan devised and carried out a complete system of frontier posts from Ratisbon to Bel grade. At Belgrade the forts became fortresses, the earthworks became a wall, and the whole mighty fortifica tion turned away from the Danube river. Between Belgrade and the Black sea there were 96 forts of large size and hundreds of little cas tles, while the whole line of Trajan's wall traversed a distance of 1,100 miles and had in its extent over 5,000 castles. THE HURRYING FEET OF WOMEN at the new-born infant's cry, tells the story .of woman'3 sympathy for her sister-woman. If women would only spread the medical gospel, that a woman is unfitted for wife hood and motherhood as long as she suffers from weakness or disease of the distinctly womanly organism, there would be less necessity for the sisterly sympathy that a woman receives when she is in the throes of child-bearing. A woman who is thoroughly strong and healthy in a womanly way'has to suffer comparatively little pain and sickness when she becomes a mother.
