The Primo Minister.

The prime minister is the head of the
government, but as such he receives no
salary, for his position is unknown to
and unrecognized by statute law. Some
state office with nominal duties, such as
the office of first lord Of the treasury, is
accordingly held by the premier. Lord
Salisbury, however, departed from the
almost invariable practice by associat-
ing the secretaryship for foreign affairs,
perhaps the most arduous and respon-
sible Office in the government, with the
premiership in his own person.
The first lord of the treasury, or, as
he is more fully described, first COM
missioner for executing the Office of the
lord high treasurer of her majesty's ex-
chequer, has associated with him the
chancellor of the exchequer and three
junior lords of the treasury in the con-
troll of her majesty's exchequer, but the
post is now sinecure in the depart
mental sense and carries with it sal
airy of e5, 900 per annum. The famous
house, 10 Downing street, in which cab
met meetings are held is the official
residence of the first lord Of the treas
ury.-Chambers' Journal.

A warning has been voiced by one of
the leading English medical journals in
regard to the too frequent use of the
Roentgen ray apparatus.
1t is interesting, no doubt, to obtain
series of photographs of ones own
skeleton, but if this is to be at the ex-
pense of such trifles as ones hair and
ones finger nails it seems hardly worth
the cost. One electrical engineer, who
has often demonstrated the beauty of
his own finger bones by placing one of
his hands within the radius of the
searching rays, lost all the nails from
the fingers Of that hand, while Mr.. Sid
ney Rowland, who is one of the leading
experimenters in this direction, men,
tions several cases of similar character
in the structural changes that occur in
the hair and so forth of those who
have been frequently shadowgraphed
by this method. Thus, in the case of
patients whose heads have been subject
ed to the influence of the rays, the hair
has either turned white or has fallen
out entirely. 1t is suggested that these
results are due to the electrical potency
of what are called the ultra violet rays
of the spectrum, though their precise
action is at present by no means thor
oughly understood.
One curious suggestion has already
been made. 1t is a well known supersti-
ton, and one which has existed for gen.
erations, that people who sleep in the
direct rays-of the moon have their rea-
son more or less seriously affected.
Now, it is said that these ultra violet
rays exist in the moonlight, and hence
a popular superstition may be founded
upon scientific fact - Philadelphia

Delightful Entertainment to Large
Company.

The concert given by pupils of
the High school on Saturday
evening, for the purpose of rails
ing money to buy piano, was a
thorough success, friends of the
school helping them out with
vocal and instrumental music. In
the center, at the back of the stage,
was a Hawaiian flag with British
and American flags on opposite
sides. Each number was well
rendered, and received the hearty
applause of the audience. There
was q large attendance.
Those present showed their APP
probation of Miss Kate McGrew's
singing by an encore. Both the
chorus and solo singing of pupils
was splendid, and speaks we'll

FINGER RINGS.

During tho 14th century, in France
md Spain, gifts Of valuable rings te
statues Of the saints and Virgin Mary
were very common. One statue in Bar
celona is said to have worn rings valued
at 100000.
Pilgrim rings were formerly sold at
every noted shrine in Christendom
They were purchased by pilgrims pre-
pairing to return home, and were regard
ed as evidence that the pilgrimage had
been really performed.
The coronation ring of Great Britain
is of gold, with large and very valu-
able ruby setting. During the corona
ton ceremonies it is placed on the
fourth finger Of the sovereign by the
Archbishop of Canterbury.
According to the traditions Of the
early church, Joseph and Mary were
espoused with an amethyst ring. This,
by some persons, is supposed to be the
reason why Episcopal rings were often
set with the same stone.
Mithridates, in the first century be-
fore Christ, had very large collec-
ton or museum of signet rings. TWAS
insinuated against him that his collec.
ton contained the signet of every lead
ing potentate of his time.

ON THE WRONG FOOT.
Story of Poultice and n Disciplined
Youngster.

Story of q Poultice and Well Discipline,
Youngster.
| Family discipline is still maintained
in some American families, as, o
course, it ought to be in all. A small boy
got silver in his foot, and hi
mother expressed her intention o.
putting poultice on the wound. The
boy, with the natural foclishness that
is bound up in the heart of a child, OBJ
jected to the proposed remedy.
II won't have any poultice!" he de-
clared.
"Yes you WILL" said both mother and
grandmother, firmly. The majority was
two against him, and at bedtime the
poultice was ready.
The patient was not ready. On the
contrary, he resisted SO stoutly that a
switch was brought into requisition.
1t was arranged that the grandmother
should apply the poultice, while the
mother, with uplifted stick, was to
stand at the bedside. The boy was
told if he "opened his mouth" he would
receive something that would keep him
quiet.
The hot poultice touched his foot,
and he opened his mouth.
'You-" he began.
keep STILL" said his mother, shak
ing her stick, while his grandmother
applied the poultice.
Again the little fellow opened his
mouth.
81"
The uplifted switch awed him into
silence.
In a minute more the poultice was
firmly in place, and the boy was tucked
in bed.
There now," said his mother, "the
old silver will be drawn out and Eddie's
foot will be all WELL"
The mother and grandmother were
moving triumphantly away when
shrill voice piped from under the bed
clothes:
you've put it on the wrong foot!"-
