In the world generally, the rule Of the
majority prevails. The country, by a
majority vote in the several congress

party which It desires to have in con-
troll. That majority party, by majority
vote, proceeds to organize the house
into working mechanism. The
speaker is elected by a majority and is
always answerable to that majority.
The rules are adopted by a majority
and are always responsive to that ma
jority. The rules are made with full
provision to protect the rights Of each
individual and Of the minority, but
rightly they are framed to enable the

DR.. A. Bulleid, who discovered the
ancient British lake village at Glaston-
burg in 1892, has now found another
group of lake dwellings at the neigh
boring village Of Meare. The site Of
the lake village consists of two fields
covering about twelve acres, and is
marked by a number of grassy mounds
formed by floors of dwellings. Dr.
Bulleid has found large quantities OF
relics, including objects in bronze
bone, horn and pottery. The village is
supposed to be of the late Celtic date.
1t was probably built between 300 or
400 B. c. and the Roman Conquest.
Cheese must have been a rather dear
or scarce article Of food in 1902, for,
says the Law Times, 1t Is recorded in
the "Black Books" of the Honorable
Society Of Lincoln's Inn that at Eas
ter term, 1902, 1t was "agreed by the
governors and benchers this term that
If any one Of the society shall here
after cut cheese immoderately at the
time of dinner or supper, or shall give
cheese to any servant or to any other,
he shall carry 1t away from the table
at any time, he shall pay pence for
each offense. The buffers Of the So
ciety shall present such defaulters
weekly, under pain Of expulsion from
office"
Recent investigations show that the
umbrella is undoubtedly Of high an
tiqulty. 1t appeared in various forms
on the sculptured monuments Of Egypt,
Assyria, Greece and Rome. In hot
countries 1t has been used since the
dawn Of history as sunshade-a use
signified by its name, derived from the
Latin "umbra," a shade. In the East
the umbrella has ever been a symbol
of power and royalty, and in many
countries IL has become part Of re-
liglous as well as royal symbolism.
The Chinese date the umbrella back to
1000 or 5000 years anterior to the
Mosaic date Of creation, which would
make 1t about 10000 or 1000 years
old.
