his dialogue and situations together

ROSEBERY COMING
BRITISH PREMIER
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman
Merely to Form Temporary
Cabinet.
Journal Special Service.

London, Dec. 2.-Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman has decided to accept
the. premiership if the expected hap
pens and King Edward asks him to do
so after Mr.. Balfour resigns on Mon
day.
This does not mean that the plan to
make Lord Rosebery prime minister has
been abandoned. Sir Henry proposes
to form an administration merely to
tide over the period until the general
election in January. If at that time
the liberals return a large majority to
the house of commons, then Lord Rose
berry will. become prime minister and
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman will en-
ter the house of lords.
Thus Lord Rosebery's premiership,
depends, first, upon large liberal ma
jority in the house of, commons, and,
second, upon assurances Of its adhe-
sion to- the historic principles Of the
liberal party. If the liberal majority
should be 50 small as to leave the gov
ernment, unless supported by the Irish
party, outnumbered by the tories, Lord
Rosebery probably would refuse to
head the cabinet, and Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman would feel compelled to
retain office. ....
Furthermore, if Lord Z. Rosebery
should appear inclined to turn his back
on the aims for which Sir Henry has
fought so sturdily, the veteran Scot
would refuse to quit the struggle.
Whoever leads the liberals, the ques
tion of home rule for Ireland will not
have first place upon the party's pro
gram unless the Irish nationalists be
come practical masters Of the house OF
commons.
The liberals purpose first to gain the
confidence Of Great Britain by striking
acts Of reform affecting the welfare
of the people of this island, and ther
to. bring this confidence to their sup
) uort in the difficult task Of comforting
domestic independence. upon the Irisl
nation, .. ..,

THE MAGiCiAN'S THUMB.
IL II His Worst Enemy Il. sIsiGht OF
Hand Tricks.


.' Hand Tricks.
In every sort Of magic the magician's 3
thumb Is his worst enemy, says Nina
Carter Marbourg In Leslies Weekly.
Ii he could strike on that thumb and
still have Its assistance when neces-
sary he would be u happy man. In
closing the hand the thumb usually.
bends toward the palm in advance Of
the fingers. In this way 1t many times
Is much In the way. and practice is
necessary to get magician's thumb in
perfect training. But when he has
practiced In the school Of magic for
some time the thumb becomes 30 fiexi-
BILE that II will bend nearly to the back
Of the hand.
Cards are invariably the beginning
of magician's education. In handling
cards the thumb is especially in the
way, and this is the reason why this
trickery with the pasteboards is Sc
lected for the beginner. To change one
card for another In front Of ones very
eyes and still to have made no percep-
tible movement of the hand Is trick
that beginners learn to perform before
they have been In the school for any
great length Of time. This, as may be
imagined, Is a difficult piece Of work to
become proficient In. and here Is just
the place where determination plays n
great part IN success.
