The law raises peculiar safeguards round the person of the English sov ereign In case of sickness. They are* mere survivals in the present settled Older of government, but at one time the opportunity which the king’s In capacity afforded aspirants to the throne or treason makers to shorten his days at a minimum of risk of de tection made the precautions reason able. "If the king be taken sick," says Coke in his "Institutes,” “there ought to be a warrant issue from the privy Council, addressed to certain physi cians and surgeons, authorizing them to administer to the royal patient po tlones, syrupos, laxitavas. medicines, etc. Still, none of these should be giv en except by consent and advice of the council, and they ought to set down in writing everything done and administered, and they should com pound all drugs themselves and not in trust their preparation to any apothe cary.” Coke wrote thus of precedent in the year 1610, and today the law is* practi cally as he found it, although at the present time in practice the privy coun cil simply hears reports of the progress of the king’s malady and leaves actual treatment entirely to the physicians in direct charge of the case.—Exchange. GIANT TREES OF JAMAICA. They Shed Masses of Beautiful 8ilk Cotton Every Year. The silk cotton trees of Jamaica are one of the most striking natural fea tures of this beautiful island, and vis itors express much curiosity concern log them. Tfye fiber of the cotton is too short for textile uses, but its qual ity is delicate and fine. The trees are most Interesting in structure. They reach a height of 20b or 300 feet It is the largest tree on the island, and the branches often over hang more than an acre of ground. Some of them are centuries old. “'dat ing back to the landing of the Span iards. They have withstood the trop ical winds of the region through the adaptation of their structure. The leaves are very few, and there are heavy masses of roots. This giaut tree flowers once a year. It bears a number of pods much the size and shape of a cucumber. These pods dry and burst, and out floats the beautiful cream colored silk cotton, covering the ground and sailing in the air for some distance. The seeds, of course, are borne on the silky fila ments. This cotton is used at present only for pillows. Its use as guncotton has been spoken of. The trees are often felled by the na tive Jamaicans and hewn into canoes, which last for generations.—Christian Science Monitor. Some Task. The office manager turned to the new boy. “Here, George,” he said, “go into the next room and look up ‘collab orate/ 1 am not quite sure about the spelling.” The boy disappeared and didn’t re turn. The manager put the letter aside and took up some other duties. Presently he remembered the l»y and went out to look for him. He found the lad studying the big dictionary with great lntentuess. “What are you doing, George?” he asked. The boy looked around. “I forgot the word you told me, sir,” he replied, “an* I’m lookin’ through the book to find it.” The manager gasped. “How far have you got?” “I’m just finishing the second page, sir.” “That’ll do, . George.” — Cleveland Plain Dealer. Fixing the Lessen. Parson Saunders was & little per turbed one Sunday morning over some worldly matter and made a mistake in the reading of the Scriptural les sons. He read the second lesson where he should have read the flr^L As he neared the end of his reading the parson saw that he was in error. He saw that his congregation knew he was in error. How. then, to con clude? To conclude In the orthodox way—“here endeth the second lesson”— would hardly do. as it was not the sec ond lesson, but the first, Nor, could it on the other hand, be called the first lesson since properly it was the second? Parson Saunders, after a mo ment’s thought, wisely and frankly concluded: “Here endeth the wrong lesson.”— New York Press. Very Considerate. “I suppose, Jennie, you wouldn’t want to go to the concert Wednesday In your old hat?" “You dear thing! I couldn’t poMft» My think of showing myself in it.” “That’s what I thought, so I”— “What?” . “Bought only one ticket to the con cert.”—Meggendorfer Blatter.

The less experience some men have the more noise they make and generally the bigger nuisance they make of themselves.-Ex. A leading society woman in San Francisco appeared at a public luncheon barefooted the other day which gave the co untry a shock. Strange this couldn’t have happened in New York or Chicago. --♦♦♦«»— —-1 That Spartanburg negro who held four aces in a poker game and died of heart failure certainly was not made of the same stuff that his brudder Booker Washington.
