f . Let us consider ' for a moment
tvnatis the reul oa contrasted with
the;- theoretical position of the
prime minister. " In . the first place,
the prime minister, as a rule, makes
his cabinet He ii commissioned by
ie queen to form a cabinet because
he is the ? man whom she considers
to possess the confidence of the ma
jority bf the house of commons. He
forms his cabinet by asking certain
members of the two houses to hold
the great offices of state. He might
do this in one day and without tn
sulting any one. f ' .'".-': . '
As a matter of .fact, what usually
happens is this: As soon as the com
mission to form ja government has
been received the prune minister
takes into his confidence the two or
three menTvho will hold the chief
offices, and they together talk over
the other namea When a man ia
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
really 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
Bpite, however, j 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
tutiqh is that the cabinet governs.
In reality it seldom does anything
of the kind. Eaih cabinet minister
has very great power in his own de
partment, but the cabinet as a cabi
net can do little. I " "
Since, however, it knowa 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, but still the cabinet does not
rule, p ;:;.-i-f
Who, then, really rules! The
prime minister, but limited in a
way which -fre must describe later.
What gives the prime minister this
power? ij 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, amd 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
ever day. : !
Again, if there is a difference be
tween two other members of the
government, the premier decides. If
there is an irreconcilable 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 -Tank
and file know that if the premier is
peaxen ne nas in ms power to up
set .tne whole machine . of govern
ment Hence the voices of those
who want to keep in office are al
ways found pn the side of the pre
mier. -London Spectator.
" , - , Duck JEffa.
The duck eggs produced in this conn-
try amount probably to less than one-
half of 1 per cent of the total egg pro
duction. Still, there are sold in the
course of the season a great many thou
sand duck eggs. ' The season is brief,
lasting . practically only about two
months, from March 1 to '.May 1, and
the larger proportion of the eggs come
in the first 45' days of that period.
Among the wholesale egg dealers of
New York thjere are only three or four
that handle duck eggs largely.
About twcWbirds of the duck eggs
brought to this market come from the
shores or CJueeapeaJte Day, me ress main
ly from Virginia and from New Orleans.
Duck eggs sold in the west come more
lareelv from the south. Baltimore eggs,
which include eggs from along . the
Chesapeake bay, are the best Such eggs
bring at wholesale 5 to 8 cents a dozen
more than eggs from farther south.
At retail I duck eggs sell for about
twice as much as hens' eggs. Weight
for weight they sell for about the same,
the duck eggB being so much larger.
They are used for the same purposes as
hens eggs. fThey are bought mainly by
people of foreign birth.
There is i market for all the duck
eggs produced. -New York Sun.

Dot silently pushes stationery case to

"Just this, Maurice. I found a lot of
this paper in the old escritoire up stairs.

stationery sufficient to last for years. It

"I took good care, of course, that the
original notice fell In the fire on the

The notice to quit was duly written out
by one of the ground owners of the prop

. Man Eating Sharks.
The man eating nsn jjar excei-
enceisthe great white shark. It
is otherwise known by the name of
man eater. Occasionally specimens
are seen on both pbasts of the United.
States, though ita' more customary
habitat is in tropical waters. This
frightful creature: attains a length
of nearly 40 feet, and it is aoie to
swallow a man whole." This fact is
proved by an experiment which sail
ors are fond of making when such
a shark' is captured. ,J The skull be
ing preserved, they amuse them-
selves by crawling one aiter anotner
through the distended jaws. It
would be unsafe to do this, however,
when "the head has been freshly cut
off, because under .such conditions
the jaws will snap together nerceiy
for some time afterward it anyming
is placed between them. The skull
of a big shark jby the way, is al
ways salable, owing fto the demand
by museums anq! curiosity hunters.

COTTON MARKETS.
Br Telegraph to the Morning Scat.
New York. August It. The cotton
market opened easy ar'a dtcline of two
to five po:nts under disappointiog cables
and bearish crop accounts.' Following'
the first call the market further declined
during the morning two to four points
and showed considerable irregularity,
with uneasinett on the part of the longs,
largely owing to the repoits of spread
ing moisture in Texas. At noon the
market showed a net loss of fcurto
seven points. The weakness was most
noticeable in the new crop months, the
strong statistical position, and favorable
reports from dry goods centres giving
support to August, September and Oc
tober positions oa the theory that early
receipts would be promptly absorbed by
the demand from, American and Eu
ropean spinners. Reports from the
South, however, indicated a bearish
sentiment on the theory of a large cot
ton crop During the afternoon the
market ruled irregular, with a generally
weak undertone following renewed re
ports of rains in Texas, with an inch and
a half rainfall id the central part of the
State. L'quidation was a feature of the
afternoon market, which fin ally closed
qaiet and steady at a decline of two to
ten points.
