must have the sanction of parliament

An English kings position toward

retically he is above the law. In prac
tice, however, he has to obey it, just

parliament it has also been decided
that If his majesty We're to lose an ac-

BY the law of the land the king can
not possibly commit an offense. Any
injury or wrong suffered by a subject
at his hands has to be attrbated to
the mistake of his advisers" hence
it happens that King George is the
only person in Great Britain who can
not arrest a suspected felon, even if
such one were to be seen by him en-
tering Buckingham palace or Windsor
castle. The reason for this is because
no action of wrongful arrest could
lie against him, and therefore if the
person arrested by him were proved
innocent there would then be wrong
without a remedy. Another legal dis
ability of the king is that he is barred
of all rights in matters relating to land
after lapse of sixty years He is also
prohibited from serving on a jury or
from giving evidence.

Whistling Pyrometer.

Martins Costa, of the polytechnic
school of Rio de Janeiro, has invented
an acoustic pyrometer for measuring
the temperature inside an oven or fur
mace which possesses novel features.
1t consists of two whistles so connected
by rubber tubes that they can be blown
simultaneously One whistle is placed
in the furnace. the other outside. The
action of the instrument depends upon
the fact that 10y properly arranging the
respective lengths of the sonorous tubes
of the two whistles. both Will give the
same note when one is cold and the
other heated to Il certain temperature
If the whistle inside the furnace gives
a lower note than the outside. the tenn
perature is too low: if it gives a higher
note, the temperature is too high; if the
two give the same note the temperature
is exactly that required. The appara
tus can be arranged to be blown by the
breath, or by compressed air sub
sidiary tube renders the sound of the
inclosed whistle more distinct To the
ear.-Youths Companion.

EiNERY or THE BOGOboS'
Costumes and Trinkets Worn on ono
of the Philippine Islands.

Among the many odd peoples OF inc
Philippines, are Bogobos, who inhaeie
the eastern foothills of Mt. Apo on the
island of Mindano.
They are physically well formed
which is accounted for by the fact thae
deformed children are not permitted
To live. The women have rather at
tractiye features and, including their
deliberately adorned costumes. are per-
haps the most picturesque natives In
the Philippines.
The ornamentation of bead work
exceeds that of any other tribe and
involves the labor of many months
and even years in completing one full
costume These garments consist or
a short coat with tight sleeves and
skirt made like large sack open at
both ends, which is folded about tho
waist.
The cloth is woven on native LOOMS
and made of hemp fibre and will last
life time. One suit is valued as high
as 100 pesos.
The women also wear heavy BRASS
rings as bracelets and anklets. inc
lobes of their ears are distorted py tho
insertion of large disks of wood DAM
boo, brass or ivory often heaVy
necklace of bead work is suspended
from the ears. covering the bosom IKE
piece of bead embroidery
A bag something like a knapsack
with shoulder straps called cabif'
is worn by the men and women. These
bags are Indispensable and seem to be
part of their wearing apparel and are
used to contain betel nut boxes ana
other belongings. They are made OF
the best hemp cloth and are elaborate
affairs of beautiful bead work and
fringed with clusters of tiny bells.
The scabbards and belts for their
bolos are also decorated with bead
work and small bells. In fact bells
play a prominent part in their orna-
mentation, and the merry tinkling is
rather pretty. Toothbrushes made or
horse hair four inches long are worn
as a pendant on the chest.-Manila

prerogative of the crown is one known
as "corody.i During its existence a
king who wanted to advance the in
terests of a royal chaplain could COM
pei a bishop to support such a clergy
man until benefice had been found
for him. Nowadays he has not even
the right of founding bishopric or
creating ecclesiastical jurisdiction.
Similarly he must always be a mem
Der of the Church OF England and
cannot change his religion.
The theory that the king "reigns,
but does not govern" is amply borne
out by the political system of the
country. While the members of par
lament are his majesty's faithful
commons" they have certain privi-
leges which he himself does not pos
sess Thus King George can summon
or prorogue parliament at will, but he
cannot prolong it beyond a definite
period Similarly he is absolutely de-
barred from imposing any sort of tax
alton whatever without first securing
the consent of parliament. SO jeal-
ously guarded is this privilege that a
king cannot create new officers with
new fees or annex new fees to exist
ing officers, as such course would
be considered as imposing a fresh tax.
In bygone times, however, when an
English monarch was in want of funds
he would levy taxes right and left and
without asking anybody.
The franchise does not extend to Eng
lish monarchs King George is one
of the few men possessing a genuine
stake in the country without the priv
ilege of recording vote.-London Bell

ROYAL ETIQUETTE.
The Many Things the King OF Eng
land is Not Permitted to Do.

IT NAV sound little curious, but
there are quite a number OF Things
which, despite his exalted position as
so,vereign of the realm, King George
Y cannot do These disabilities range
o,,er all sorts of matters and concern
etiquette, politics, religion ana law.
10 bepin with etiquette, it is an estab-
lished practice thai his majesty must
never call upon or grant an audiehee
TO a foreign monarch except IN the
presence of Il responsible minister
Etiquette also precludea MN from ac-
cepting a gift which loyal SUBJECT
NAV wish to make him. Should, now
ever the gift be joint offering the
prohibition does not apply ms en-
abIes King George to accept gllts
which are subscribed for by NUMBER
of people together.
A king never writes letter to any
body outside his family circle All
other correspondence has to be con-
Quoted through one of his secretaries.
Nor does King George accept invita-
lions to dine or stop with subject.
What he does when he wishes TO pay
such visit is to invite himself. An
other strictly observed point OF ell
quette is that on ascending the throne
king shall withdraw from any clubs
to whien he has hitherto belonged.
Similarly he cannot become a Free
Mason, and If he happens to be one at
the date of his ascension he must re-
sign from the craft. King George,
however, has not been initiated.
Even in affairs of the heart sover-
eign must bow to the will of others.

mission are most sweeping. They may
compel attendance by subpoena and
have practically all the power of a SUI

and information bureau is provided
for. The lines affected include every
thing from printing offices to tunnel

One of the alleged Objectionable
features is the claim that such a law
would put a premium on immortality
because damages paid on account of
the death or disability of a married
man are so much greater than in the
case of an unmarried man.
D, T. Ham, a prominent business
man of Spokane, says he has talked
with several persons who have observ-
ed the workings of such a law in Eng
land. In their opinion the law has
thrown thousands of married men out
of work. 1t is understood that the pro-
posed Washington law is almost identi-
cal with the laws in effect on this point
in England.

woOLGROWERS OBJECT
TO DOUBLE TAXATION

To devise some means whereby uni
form legislation a be brought about
providing for dipping and grazing tax
alton for sheep, G. B. Stewart, secre-
tary of the Utah Wool Growers asso-
citation, is in communication with the
Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada sheep as
sociations.
"Utah wool growers are objecting, -
says Mr.. Stewart, "because they are
compelled to pay double taxation for
their herds when they desire to take
them over the border line into another
state. They must pay a tax in this
state of 3 cents a head on stock sheep
and 25 cents for rams, every year, for
grazing privileges. If they wish to
run their herds over into another state
for two or three months, they are
again charged by that state for the full
year and, through not receiving any re-
bate, are forced to pay double. They
are also required to dip the sheep
vice, no matter what the weather con
ditions are and whether or not they
were dipped just before entering the
state. There is a law in Utah which
provides for such cases, only requir-
ing the payment for such time the
sheep remain here
Important Matter.
In the proceedings of the last Ma
tional Wool Growers convention at
Portland, Ore, this was one of the i'm
portant matters brought under discus
sion and as a result a committee was
appointed on uniform legislation to
draw up a proper resolution. Mr.. Stew
art has just received a copy Of the
same, which reads as follows:
"Whereas, the present laws of the
various states allow a double taxation
of sheep grazing in different states;
therefore be it
Resolved, That We use our influence
for the uniform and proportionate
taxation as to length of time sheep are
grazed in said states; that no extra
fees be charged, nor unnecessary ex-
pense be incurred by compulsory dip
ping of clean sheep, bearing bills of
health under government inspection,
entering these states, and that the ex-
~ecutive committee be and is hereby in
structed to draft a uniform law and
present the same to the various state
legislatures for passage
