breathe it for a few minutes four
times a day, and will cure the worst
case of catarrh. In this way, one

throat and lungs air that is filled with
balsamic healing and antiseptic fra
GRANGE. It goes to the most remote
parts of the air passages, destroys all
catarrhal germs, and enriches and
purities the blood with additional
ozone.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show a decided improvement, and in a
short time there will be no further
trouble with catarrh. It's good effects

permapent.

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,
the 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)
the 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
Certain great Offices of state are al
ways found in the cabinet according to
unwritten law, but Office Of secondary
rank are represented OF unrepFeseated.
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 SalisDury'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
commissioners of works and public
buildings, both of which we're in Lord
Salisbury's. The cabinet, like the min
istry is an evolution, neither resting
on any specific statute. 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 every
thing Is dependent on the written law.
In the absence Of Great Britain Of q
formally designated written "constitu-
ton" some Americans have leaped to
the absurd conclusion that Great Brit
ain has no constitution at all.

How Dutch Farmers Kill Hogs and
Plant Seed by the Moon.

Plant Seed by the Moon.
The Dutch farmers Of Rowan
county are among North Carolina's
most prosperous and most i-terest-
iag people: they live we'll, save money
and i'm mprove in every way. Thrift is
virtue with them. They are great
believers in signs and old sayings;
they do things by the moon.
Before building 8 worm fence the
Dutch always watch the moor; it
must be right or the fence will sink
into the ground. The bottom rail
must be put down when the little
moon is turned up, so that it will not
sink into the ground. To prove that
this is the right sort Of doctrine lets
person make an experiment with two
bricks ;put down one when the little
moon is up and the other while 1t is
down and it will be noticed that the
one laid when the moon was down
will go into the ground and that the
other will remain as left.
IF one would cover his house we'll
he must make the boards when the
little moon is turned down. That is
easy; the boards will keep their shape
if riyen then. But, on the other hand,
if made while the little moon is
turned up the boards will cup up at
the ends when exposed to the westh-
or. I have seen many board turn
up at the end, but never knew what
did it until now.
The moon must be right when a
Dutchman kills his hogs. II the hogs
are killed when the little moon is on
the decrease the meat will shrink,
but il killed when the little moon is
on the increase it will swell.
To have good turnips one must
plant on Israel's day-that is in Au-
gust; If corn is planted when the
little moon points up, the ears will
grow too near the top. The ears gets
more pourishnent near the ground.
The Dutch have what is known as
Fasnacht Il guess that is the way to
spell it) day-she day before Ash
Wednesday; they must have Fasnacht
fritters then or the crop will not be
good.
Twas in Salisbury on last Ascen-
sion day aud the town was full OF
country people. That is a Dutch
holiday. No work is done on Ascen-
sion day. It is day of rest and
pleasure. If the first visitor to a
home that day is man, all the eggs
that are setting will hatch roosters; if
q womsp, pullets will prevail. There
fore man is an unwelcome guest
early in the morning on Ascension
day.
It is not right to carry out the
ashes between Christmas and New
Years day; that brings bad luck.
If person would court good luck
he or she must pull off the left shoe
first on going to bed, and, to keep it
up, put the right on first in the
morning.
If farmer puts ont manure or fer
.iijzers when the little moon points
up, it will stay, but if little moon
points down it will leach out.
There are thousand and one Of
these signs and sayings if they could
be collected; many of them are met
in other than Dutch com munities.
