What Is the EnaIish Throne2

The English throne-what is it? Is it
the stone chair of Westminster abbey l.?
That is only occupied once by each
king or queen, and that only at the cor
onation ceremony. Is it the chair Of
state in the house of lords or the re-
ception chair at Buckingham palace or
the sumptuous gilt thing which the king
uses at Windsor when he receives the
foreign ENJOYS? 1t is an interesting
question, which some people would like
to have answered. Most everybody,
however, has come to the conclusion
that in the majority of countries the
throne is merely a symbol, and the ex-
pressions 'he has succeeded to the
throne" and speeches from the throne"
are only metaphors.

In these days 1t is the girl with a

white Animals can,t smell.

"Pure white animals" said a pet

Hence they are continually, eating
things that disagree with them, and in
eight cases out Of ten poison them
selves and die. Pure white pigs should
never be allowed to run loose in the
fields and woods For, without the pro-
lection Of a sense Of smell, such pigs,
when they get out, eat all sorts of poi
sonous roots and berries and die off
rapidly. In Africa the white rhino-
ceros poisons itself by eating the Gu
phorbia, and pure white sheep are diff
cult to rear because they are continu-
ally munching shrubs and grasses that
don't agree with them"
