CABINET AND MINISTRY.
Meaning of the Terms as They Are
Used by the People of Great
Britain.

London dispatches sometimes refer
to the cabinet" and sometimes to the
ministry" and may lead readers to
believe that these are distinct bodies,
whereas the cabinet is the inner circle
OF the ministry, says the London Tran
script. A man may be in the ministry
without being in the cabinet, but he
cannot be in the cabinet without being
in the ministry. The cabinet members
are those of the ministers whose ad-
vice is most earnestly desired by the
premier and constitute his ministerial
staff. AS Mr.. Balfour originally formed
his ministry in July, 1902, the cabinet
was made up of the premier himself,
he lord high chancellor, the lord chan
cellor of Ireland, the lord president of
the council, the lord privy seal, the
first lord of the treasury (Mr. Balfour),
he first lord of the admiralty, the Sec
retaries of state for home affairs, for
eign affairs, war, the colonies and In
dia, the chief secretary of Ireland, the
chancellor of the eXchequer, the secre-
tary for Scotland, the presidents of the
board of trade, the local government
board, the board of agriculture. the
board of education and the postmaster
general. There were 81 members of the
ministry who were not in the cabinet
under Mr.. Balfour's original organiza-
ton.

ways found in the cabinet according to
unwritten law, but office of secondary
a are represented or unrepresented,
as premiers decide, the political power
of their incumbents often being the de-
termining influence. Thus, the chief
secretary for Ireland, George Wynd-
ham, was not in Lord SalisUury's cab
met, but is in Mr.. Balfour's, his pres
ence being an absolute necessity in
view of the Irish land legislation poll
cy Mr.. Balfour has adopted. On 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
buildings, both of which were in Lord
Salisbury's. The cabinet, like the min
istry, is an evolution, neither resting
IN any specific statute. A good many
British institutions have grown up in
the lint way, the law coming from the
institution and not the institution from
the law. Here in this country every
thing is dependent on the written law.
In the absence of Great Britain Of a
formally designated written ~"constitu-
tion," some Americans have leaped to
the absurd conclusion that Great Brit
ain has no constitution at all.

.ARMOR OF THE ANCIENTS.
Means of Protection That Were EN-
plOyed by the Soldiers in the
Earlier Ages.

In the earlier ages m was used to
protect the person of the wearer from
the attack of the enemy, says a writer
In the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The english word for it was harness;
but we must look to the sacred writings
for the first memorials of armor, where
we find the shield, the helmet and the
breastplate used by the Israelites. Co.
Hath of Gath wore greaves to defend his
legs. Achilles the shield. The golden
armor of Glaucus was said to be worth
100 oxen. The Romans wore the he'll
met, shield, lOrica and greaves. The
lorica was heavy, its weight was made a
subject of complaint. 1t was frequently
enriched with embossed figures, on the
breast with a gorgon's head by way of
armlet, on the shoulder plates with
scrolls of thunderboIts, and on the
leather border which covered the tops
Of the pendant flaps with lions heads.
The knights began with the feet and
clothed upward; namely, sabatynes or
steel clogs; the greaves, or shin pieces;
The c~uisses, or thigh pieces; the breech
of mail; the tuillettes, or overlapping
pieces below the waist; the breast plate,
or cuirass; the vambraces. or covers for
the arm; the rerebraces, or ariere-bras,
the covering for the remaining part Of
the arm to the shoulder; the gauntlets;
then the dagger was hung; the short
sword; the cloak or coat, which was
worn over the armor; the bacinet; the
long sword; the %pennoncel, held in the
eft hand; the shield. From these facts
4 general notion will be gathered of the
Kind Of body armor used among the an
eient nations.

A remarkable illustration of the
monumental patience Of Mr.. Edison, the
great electrician, is to be found in the
fact that in the early days of his pho
nograph invention he spent many
hours a day for six months in DINING
the word "Spezzia" into the machine,
which would persist in reproducing
"Pezia," until Edison's patience CON
quered it and compelled the correct
pronunciation.

Cure for Insomnia,

One of the best and simplest cures for
insomnia is said to be the odor Of raw
onions. They should be crushed to o
pulp in order to free all the juice. Smell
this substance for ten minutes after re-
firing. 1t is said to quiet the most nerv-
GUS person and relax the most over
wrought nerves. 1t is hardly pleasant
but is said to be efficacious.

A Gourd was planted close beside a large, Widespread Pine. The
season was kindly; and the Gourd shot itself up in a short time, climb
ing by the boughs, and twining about them, till it topped and covered
the tree itself. The leaves were large, and the flowers and fruit fair,
insomuch that the Gourd, comparing itself with the Pine, had the con-
hdence to value itself above it upon the comparison. why" said
the Gourd, you have been more years growing to this stature than
l have been days" WELL" replied the Pine; but after the many
winters and summers that have endured, the many blasting colds and
parching heats, you see me the very same thing that l was so long
ago. But, when you once come to the proof, the first blight or frost
shall most infalibly bring down that pride of yours, and strip you of
all your glory"

Cures Catarrh and Prevents Colds
No Stomach Dosing, Just

At this season of the year catar-
rhal troubles are very prevalent and
nearly every person suffers to a GER

Catarrh is actually the result of a
succession of colds and can be easily
prevented if the proper treatment is
followed.
Hyomei is a natural yet scientific
cure for the colds and grip troubles
that lead to catarrh, as well as a posi-
tive cure for the disease itself.
The complete outfit costs only 81,

procured for so cents. T. ii. Thomas

Governor Nardaman is a young man
and has only held his present Office
since Jan. l. AS speaker of the lower
house of the legislature, however. he
had already earned the reputation of
being wise legislator and was known
as one of the most able and fearless
newspaper men in the state. Until his
Inauguration Governor Vardaman had
for years been editor of the Greenwood
Enterprise. 1t is estimated that the
governors campaign to save the col

AN INDIAN LEGEND.
The DieguenO Myth Concerning the

Creation of the Earth.
The Diegueno Emission Indian) has
no surmise concerning the creation of
the earth TO him it is q primeval
fact Earth and sky existed in the be-
ginning of things, but not as now, IL
lumined by sun, moon and stars, in
formed with purpose and active with
life. In the beginning all was shape
less, dark, inert, a chaos full of untried
potencies. The sky power, brooding
mystery, rested upon the receptive
earth. Out of chaos came n voice,
u song, ending in a long drawn sigh,
signifying accomplishment rest at the
end of achievement; again, voice, song
and sigh, and with each act of the
first cause, an effect. The earth moth
er. Sin-yO-hauch. the mysterious name,
Tu-chai-pa, the best, the firstborn. and
then Yo-ko-mat-is, the lesser, the broth
er. Then did Tu-chai-pa, with the as
sistance of his brother, create man to
inhabit the earth, and the sun, noon
and stars to give light, first of all up
rearing from its primal PROSTATE state
the sky to be the arch OF the heavens
as we see it now above our heads.
The spirituality of this conception of
creation, together with certain points
OF resemblance to the Hebrew story
of Genesis, dignifies the Diegueno ac-
count and places it in a class by itself
