Take Neither Can He Ever Die, According to British Law. It Is n curious point of British law that the king uever dies, or, to put It iu another wny, It would be useless for I any bnmster to nrgue that the ruler’s predecessors bave really died, since the utmost the luw will admit Is tbat there may bo a “demise of tbe crown,” mean ing, of course, simply that there has A Remarkable Dog That Really Speaks Words. next the head of n dead innu.

In civilization it is said that a wife does not always add to lier husband’s ease or render his life more supportn- ble, but up on the barren grounds the worst of wives would be better tban none. There, among the heathen tribes, if a man’s wife dies—provided he is not a polygamist, iu which caso, says tlie Wide World, there is less need for hurry—he often marries again within the week. Even tbe Christian Eskimo widowers are with difficulty persuaded by the Moravian missionaries to allow six weeks to elapse between tbe death and remarriage. On the very day after the six weeks have lapsed the hunter presents himself with a new bride aud asks that the marriage service may be speedily read. Tbe reason is not fnr to seek. It is said in civilization tbat “a woman's work is never done.” and far more is that true of the helpmate ot the sav age and the semi-savage, tho woman of the barren grounds or of the ice edge. She makes and breaks camp, cooks, cuts up nnd carries to camp her husband’s kill. She dresses the skin* of deer and seal. She is responsible for the fashioning of footgear and clothes. On a journey she often paddles the canoe, nnd on portage she carries a heavy load. In fact, lt is easier to write down the du ties not expected of a squaw thnn thoso which by immemorial custom she must perform. It Is a maxim that \the king can do no wrong,” and under the law he would not he held personally responsi ble for nny criino or \tort\ that he chose to commit nt any time. At any rate, we are assured by high constitu tional authorities that the law should actually ami literally be so construed and tbat the statutes hold tbat any in jury his majesty might Inflict upon a subject must be ascribed to the king’s advisers. One thing seems to be cer tain, aud that Is tlmt his majesty can under no circumstances whatsoever be arrested. Nor. moreover, could bls goods be distrained or taken in execu tion should he fall to meet his liabili ties. A quaint feature of British law is that in theory the kiug is present at the law* court a t every sitting, though he might in point of fact actually be on the continent or elsewhere. It follows, therefore, tbat it is impossible to non suit him as plaintiff should bo not put in an appearance when his case is called, since the law specifically states that tbe king is tbere. In a similar sense the kiug is always constructively present iu parliament, though be be ln fact thousands of miles from bls shores. His majesty is under the law the nomtual gunidinu of all infants, idiots and lunatics, and to him is granted tbe sole right to print the Bible, the Book of Common Prayer and all acts of parliament in the United King dom. It has been stated, furthermore, that should he so desire the king could forbid the printing of any or all of them anywhere within his dominions. —Harper's. A Turkish Love Story. A Turk knocked at his beloved’s door, and a voice answered from with in, ‘‘Who is there?\ Then he answered, “It is I.\ Then the voice said, “This bouse will not hold thee and me.” And the door was not opened. Then went the lover into the desert, where there is nothing but Allah, and fasted nnd prayed in solitude. And after a year be returned and knocked again at tbe door. And again tbe voice naked, “Wbo is there?” And he said, “It Is thyself.” And the door was opened to bim. D’Orsay and His Tailor. “D'Orsay, the Complete Dandy,” as Mr. Tiegnmouth Shore.calls him tn his biography, was fully aware of the value of his patronage to the tailors Wheu clothes arrived for him, ln tbe most mysterious manner banknotes had found tbelr wny into the pockets. Once, when this nccident had n ot hap pened, D’Orsay bade his valet return the garments with the message that “the lining of the pockets had been forgotten.” The Old, Old Story. “What did you do wiien your hus band told you the old, old story?” “I told him to shut up before he war half through.” “Why. what a funny way to reply to a confession of love!” “Oh, is that what you mean? I thought you meant tbe story be told last night when he came home from a time with the boys.\—Houston Post. MINED THE ROAD. The Volunteers Artped Out the Foe, but It Was a Sad Story. “1 can tell you the saddest thing tbat happened during the whole war,” said an old negro to a group of listeners. The story was this. One night it was reported that the town was in peril of attack from the enemy, and tiie fight ing forces were quickly mustered. One of the volunteers conceived the Idea of mining tho road and touching the fuse in time to annihilate the foe. There was plenty of powder, and the scheme was adopted. The rest of the defend ers stood some on one side of the road, some on the other, ready to discharge tbeir rifles into wbat might be left of the assailants. The day passed without incident, but as the night wore on the strain of the situation began to tell on the nerves of tbe defenders. Presently, however, there was the sound of hoofs ou tbe highway, approaching rapidly. Such was the state of mind of the defenders that the sounds appeared to indicate the coming of a mighty cavalry force. It was a terrifying moment. A vivid flash lighting up the scene as the first horseman reached the spot told that the mine had been exploded and it had done its work. There was not a vestige of nn army to be seen when the smoke cleared away excepting the scattered fragments of a big black mule. The pnrty laughed ns the old man concluded his tale. “That’s a good enough story,” said one of them, “but what was there so snd about it?” “It was my mule, sail!” was the old negro's pathetic reply. A Battle of Languages. Three or four languages strove for mastery in ancient Gnul, which is now France. German was spoken by the ^2,000 Frank invaders. Popular Lntin was spoken by 0,000,000 Gallo-Romans. Literary Latin wns the language of the church and of literature. Low Latin was afterward the language of the ad ministration. German was the flrst to succumb, ln four centuries it ceased to be understood by tbe soldiers, and in seventy yenrs more it had become nn object of ridicule. But it survives in more than 000 words, expressing the things of government; law nnd war. and thus forms no insignificant part of the French language. Thero have been many so called speaking dogs—that ls, dogs who have been trained to give a certain number of bnrks to indicate certain wants— but this remarkable dog can really speak, although its vocabulary Is limited as yet to about ten words. The wonderful gift that enables the dog to articulate wns discovered quite accidentally by its owner. Herr tier maun Ebcrs. a German royal game keeper. Oue day the dug was begging at tbe table and his master asked him (in German, of course), “Wbat will you have?” The dog answered “bn- ben” (have), and since then has been taught eight or nine other words.. His name is Don, and this word he can say very distinctly, also “rube\ (quieti and “hunger” (hunger). That he can really articulate bas been proved not only by the fact that he does speak the words, but also by examination by scientists. Her Strong Chin, Dawson—Tho facial features plainly Indicate character nnd disposition. In selecting your wife were you governed by her chin? Spenlow—No, but I have been ever since we were married. A Case of Neoesstiy. “Why are you breaking up house keeping?\ ‘‘My wife’s florist says she’ll hnve to take the rubber plant to a different climate.\—Washington Herald.

In deed, he usually prefers such n death to a lingering ono lu hospital.—Buffalo Express. How He Got Out. “No,” said Woodby. “1 don’t see Wiseman at all nny more. He has dropped out of our social set.” \He tells a different story,” remarked Sinnlckson. “Indeed!\ “Yes; he claims he has elhnbed out.” —Catholic Standard. The Optimist. “You’re looking blue, doc. Wlint’s the matter?” \Well I’ll tell you. A patient I be gau to treat died this morning.” Nature knows no pause ln progress j ”Ab. cheer up.

Throw a ring or coin into a businl full of water and tell them you are| going to recover the object with your hand, but that you will not wet it in | tbe least. In order so to do It will suffice tn I sprinkle the surface of tbe liquid with somo powder which has uo attraction | for the water aud will not adhere tn it—something that water will not wet. | Powdered lycopodium. which you wili find iu almost every drug store, is just | the thing. Having thrown a half handful ot | this preparation on the surface ot tlie water, plunge your hand in boldly, re cover your prey aud show the sppcta tors that your hand ls as dry as ever it I was in your life. The reason of this is| that the lycopodium has formed a j veritable glove around your hand anci| fingers, for which the water has uoi had the least affinity, any more than | for the feathers of ducks and otlier wnter hirds. You know thnt these I may dive into the deep ever so often | before your eyes aud come up as dr» as before, thanks to the peculiar oh ] secreted by their feathers.—Magieai Experiments. Conundrums.

Decause of the exercise derived from it Resides being a good runner, t he winner in tbis game must be skillful In the use of the hoop. The players Bliouid be allowed to start according | to the size of their hoops, ns, of course, a large hoop can be bowled faster than I a small one. The one who first reaches | the goal agreed upon wins the race. Turnpikes.—This Is considered the I best of hoop games. The turnpike gates are two small ppgs driven Into tbe ground quite close together or two [ brtcks pinced side by side a short dis tance apart.

The play ers with Hoops start off. trunding the hoop slowly or quickly, as they please, and they must pass tbe hoop tbrougb I every gate, if tbe hoop touches either j of tbe gateposts or goes outside them the keeper takes the hoop, while the trundler takes his place as gatekeeper.
