THE WoOLSACK.

It Is In the House of Lords and Yet
Is Not n Part of 1t.
1t is a curious fact that the woolsack
on which the lord chancellor sits in the
British house Of lords Is not, strictly
speaking, in the house of lords, and
this is why when the lord chancellor
rises to take part in debate he first Of
all moves away from the woolsack to
his W place as a peer before he
speaks.
The fact, too, explains why noble
lords who desire to avoid voting some
times merely withdraw to the wool
sack, where, not being in a parliament
tary sense within the house, they are
not counted in q division.
Again, though the lord chancellor is
now Invariably a peer, he Is not neces-
sarily so, and as a matter Of fact the
Office has been held several times in the
past by commoners. In such cases the
lord chancellor could take no part in
debate. not having a place in the house
as a peer. and his functions as speaker
were strictly limited to the putting of
questions and other formal proceed
ings regulated by precedent from the
woolsack.

to grunt acquiescence to all that
sounds like abuse.
"And what is this prince like? Have

"Ah, just open your mouth a little
wider. Yes, you have a nasty throat

you would kick his head to pieces?
Why"

"There is a change coming for the

The next conner was afflicted with a
wound that would not heal, a common
trouble in cold countries. While at

continued his conversation with the

these changes are about to come. I

The man laughed mysteriously.

The man made no reply.

Paul coolly.
But there was no reply. After this
there was a sullen silence, which Paul
could not charm away, charm he never
so wisely.
When his patients had at last ebbed
away he lighted a cigarette and walked
thoughtfully back to the castle. There
was danger in the air, and this was
one of those men upon whom danger
acts as a pleasant stimulant.

Soldiers Must Learn TO Swim

Gen. Chaffee is strongly of the opinion
that swimming should not be neglected in
the work of an athletic nature which is
adopted for the benefit of the enlisted
men of the army. There has been a
tendency to ignore this class Of exercise,
and Gen. Chaffee has now sent out woro
TO the army that swimming should be
taught to soldiers just as Systematically
as shooting, although, of course, there is
no need of giving so much time to ii. 1t
frequently happens especially in the
movements of troops III the Philippines,
that the passage Of stream depends on
the ability of soldiers to swim. The man
who does not possess that qualification is
at great disadvantage, and in a small
party he might prove a serious handicap
at a critical time. As a measure of pre-
caution, and because swimming is a good
thing to know under all circumstances,
Gen, Chaffee has issued instructions
which win insure swimming as d nart Of
