Mammoth Fruit in Millinery.

Not only have the fashionable roses
of the moment become Of mammoth
proportions, but even the fruit used in
millinery is larger than the size which
nature originally intended it to be,
cherries having increased to the proper
ton Of plums, and plums to apples. A
smart green straw which I examined
lately was adorned with hanging clus-
tiers of immense cherries. the only other
trimming being bows of narrow green
velvet.

pose trees stop the springs from coming
too fast by absorbing their moisture,
and when they cut down Whole for
ests, why, there's nothing to do but let
the floods come. But it's awful for the
people that get washed away. Papa was
reading the other day about some
Russian immigrants that had just
settled on the banks Of a river out
West when the foods came, and they
were carried into Kansas. and they had
MO means of telling what State they
had come from. One of the youngest
had been born there, and he will never
know what State he is q native of be-
cause those Russians are SO ignorant.
Doesn't it seem awful our allowing so
many ignorant people to come to this

London dispatches sometimes refer

believe that these are distinct bodies,
whereas the cabinet is the inner circle
of the ministry says the London
Transcript. A man may be in the min
istry without being in the cabinet,
but he cannot be in the cabinet with
out being in the ministry. The cabinet
members are those of the ministers
whose advice is most earnestly desired
by the premier and constitute his min
isterial staff AS Mr.. BalfOur origi-
nally formed his ministry in July, 1902,
the cabinet was made up Of the premier
himself, the lord high chancellor, the
lord chancellor of Ireland, the lord
president of the council, the lord prlvy
seal, the first lord of the treasury (N1r.
Balfour) the first lord Of the admiral
ty, the secretaries Of state for home
affairs, foreign affairs, war, the colo
MES and India, the chief secretary Of
Ireland, the chancellor Of the eX-
chequer, the secretary Of Scotland, the
presidents Of the board of trade, the

In view of the Irish land legislation

the other hand, Mr.. Balfour's cabinet
schedule did not include the chancellor
Of the duchy Of Lancaster,nor the first
commissioner Of works and public

Sa1isbury's. The cabinet, like the min
istry, is an evolution, neither resting
on any specific statue. A good many
British institutions have grown up in
the same way, the law coming from
the institution and not the institution
from the law Here in this country
everything is dependent OH the written
law. In the absence in Great Britain

to the absurd conclusion that Great
