WHAT THE KING CANNOT DO.
Royal Prerogative in England Has
Its Limitations

1t is prevalent and popular notion
that the power possessed by the mon
arch is absolute and almost without
limitation, says the Hour Glass. This
is a fallacy, as the following facts
will attest. The privileges and pow
ers relegated to royalty are manifold
and peculiar, but there are certain
things that king may not do.
While it is quite within the PROV
ince of the royal prerogative to dis
pose of the entire army or navy and
also to declare war without consulting
anybody, yet our king could not util-
iZe a penny of the public funds with
out permission from parliament How
ever excellent and beneficent his mo-
tive may be for so doing, the king is
debarred from communicating with
any of his loyal subjects and the same
limitation prohibits him from accept
ing gifts from any of his people ex-
cept in cases where the offerings are
presented through the medium of an
officer of the state or an intimate
friend of his majesty. After an in
dividual has been elected by his con-
stituents to take his seat in the Brit
ish senate at Westminster it is not in
the power of the king himself to pre-
vent the member from occupying his
place in that august assembly.
Of his own royal prerogative King
Edward possesses full power to par
don a murderer, even after he has
been found guilty and sentenced to
death by the representatives of the
law Yet, by curious statute of one
of the Georges, the king is prevented
from exhibiting mercy or grace to
willful sabbath-breaker. To render ev-
cry new law absolute and irrevocable
the royal autograph must be invaria-
bly, attached thereto, nor is his ma
jesty ever permitted to perform his
duty by proxy. Even the salaries of
the kings servants are fixed by state
and he cannot raise the salary of his
own butler except by permission or
out of his own private purse. That
the king can do no wrong is obviously
the view taken by his counselors, for
by the laws that hedge the throne no
person can take action against his
majesty and he cannot be arrested by
the emissaries of the law ON any pre-
text whatever

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold

BEST CALLING FOR WOMEN.
English Writer Lauds the Benefits Of
Horticulture.

An English writer has discovered
that horticulture is the only proper
calling for a woman to pursue 1t is
impossible, he asserts, for the aver
age woman to pass an examination
that we men call stiff" without doing
herself serious harm, both physically
and mentally, though she may come
through a winner. And it is just as
impossible for her to adopt any pro-
fession that requires much study and
whole weeks, months. yea, and years,
to be spent in an Office without be-
coming sooner or later as mad as the
proverbial March hare, or at the
least, without altering her figure
greatly for the worse. But in dig
ging, planting and sowing she plants
roses on her cheeks, rounds her limbs
and brightens her eyes. The pretti-
est woman this writer has ever seen.
as well as the strongest, mentally and
physically, were found among those
few British women who spend their
lives in the open air, while the plain
est faces and clumsiest figures were
observed among the actresses.

Ereddie Sizes up His Ma.

The teacher was endeavoring to
give her pupils enlightenment on the
question of agnosticism.
Now, Freddy" she said, 1--WE will
suppose that your father doesn't go
to church and never says his prayers.
But he isn't sure that there is not
a God or a heaven, where angels are.
He says there may be or there may
not be-he doesn't know. That makes
him an agnostic. If he said he did
not believe in God, then he would be
an infidel. But he doesn't go that
far. He just confesses that he does
not know: Now, do you understand
what an agnostic is?"
YES" Freddy answered, "and
know what ma is, too"
What is she, Freddy?"

BLOOD WILL TELL
ATHEoRY SUPPORTED BIZ FRESH,
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE.
A Recent Instance Proves That a
Woman's Happiness Is Largely De-
pendent on the State of Her Blood.

When the blood is disordered every
organ of the body is affected unfavor-
ably and fails to discharge its func-
tons properly. In the case of every
woman nature has made special pro-
vision for a periodical publication of
the blood, and so long as this occurs
her health and spirits unfailingly re-
veal the beneficial results. So slight
a cause as cold or a nervous shock
may produce a suppression of this
vital function, and until it is restored
she is doomed to misery. The remedy
that has proved most prompt and
effective in all disorders peculiar to
the female sex is that which brought
such great relief to Miss Matte
Griggs, of No. S07 Indiana street, Law
renee, Kansas, concerning which she
speaks as follows:
in the winter of 1902, from some
unknown cause, there was a cessation
of functions peculiar to my sex for a
period of four months. 1 became very
weak and could not get up stairs
without help. had nausea and pain
and a constant headache. l was I'M

to use them, and in June had fully

In all cases of delayed development
of young girls; in anemia or weakness

dependency and nervousness; also in
the great constitutional disturbances
attending the period known as the
change of life, DR.. Williams Pink Pills
are invaluable for women, whose
health is always closely dependent on
the state of the blood. They are sold
