| Ge0tae v. Has In,bihed High Ideas
of "a Rulers Functions.
George V. will not hesitate to make
himself the permanent adyiser-in-chiet
to his ministers. He will not strain
the constitution in doing so. His late
father and his illustrious grandmother
did not live up to fgurehead theory
Of their function and England will
acquiesce in the tory attitude Of the
new king. For no error could be so
egregious as that which, disseminated
in this country ever since Edward
died, inspired the average American
with the notion that a British sover-
eign is without power, says Current
Literature. The English themselves,
taking their cue from the leading Lon
don dailies, have lost whatever wish
they may have had for a phantom
potentate. 1t was only by degrees, as
Prof. J. H. B. Masterman Of ST. Johns
College, Cambridge, points out, that
Englishmen learned how very strongly
the influence Of the late Queen Vic
toria affected the course Of English
politics. The accession Of the late Ed
ward VII might be said to mark the
revival of the political importance Of
the British monarch. During the nine
years that the late sovereign sat upon
the throne everything tended to dem
cnstrate the right of the king to as
sert his authority and influence far
more strongly than had been the case
when Victoria was newly come to the
crown. George V. was reared by his
father in no such theory Of the royal
authority as makes it out shadow.
In this sense he is a tory-in the sense
that the constitution bestows upon him
many definite political functions Some
weeks before the death Of the late Ed
ward the Paris Figaro predicted that
his successor would assert himself"
and Of the truth of the prediction there
is little doubt in Europe.

The shah,s Highway.

It is true we have some bad roads,
but most of our highways compared
with those Of Persia would be as a
paved street to a plowed field, says a
correspondent Of Harper's Weekly.
You would think that the keeping Of
the shah's highway would be one of
the first cares Of state, yet SO little
attention has been given to this sub
ject by the Persian government that
there are not a dozen good wagon
roads throughout the whole country.

a very few cases, merely trails. Not
only are the wagon roads bad as we'll

The substitution of steel for wood
goes steadily on. Beginning with
January l, or thereabouts, the Ma
tional Lead Company will pack its
white lead in steel kegs, having de.
cided to abandon the use Of wooden
kegs. This innovation is made be-
cause the company has concluded that
steel kegs will have many advantages
over the wooden kegs. In the first
place, the steel package does not abb
sorb the oil from the lead as porous
wooden packages do, and there Is,
therefore, no drying and caking Of
the lead around the edges, making it
possible to remove every particle Of
white lead easily from the steel keg.
The new steel kegs also will be much
lighter, as well as being stronger than
the wooden ones, and this will effect
a saving in freight rates. Taking up
less room than the wooden kegs, the
new steel packages also will save stor-
age space.

Husbands and Houaeoleanlnn.

The reason a man wants to get as
far away from home as he can during
houseeleaning is that everything looks
so desperate and it seems as If the
work never would be done. If you
would use Easy Task soap the work
would be over in less time and would
be done more thoroughly. Easy Task
isn't like the yellow soaps that leave
a lot of grease and rosin behind them:
1t makes everything sweet and clean;
and it runs the reaches away. Con-
fidentially, it is sure death to the "crit-
ters" that like to nest in the bedsteads.

No other medicine for woman's ills

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak

periodic pains, backache, indigestion

How LluhtnInn snIIts Trees.

Lightning makes trees explode, like
overcharged boilers. The flame of the
lightning does not burn them up, nor
does the electric fash split them like
an ak. The bolt flows through into all
the damp interstices of the trunk and
into the hollows under its bark. All
the moisture at once is turned into
steam, which by its immediate explo-
sion rips open the tree. For centuries
this simple theory puzzled scientists,
but they have got in right at last.
