VICAR Their Hats.
Just in ron of the speakers chair
is a long table, which sometimes serves
as Il footstool for the ministers sitting
upon the treasury bench, and upon this
table lies the famous Mace. There are
galleries on each side, and at the end,
and just back of the speakers chair is
IN" newspaper reporters gallery. and
above that is a screened gallery for
ladies. High above the chamber is the
clock tower which contains the amouS
clock. Big Bend" whose deep booming
can be heard in The house below as it
strikes the hour. The sessions begin
at , y. m. and usually last until mid
night. and sometimes later. The mem

address the chair. but arise in their
places. and wait for the chair to
recognize them. Many of the members
wear their silk hats while the house Is

they arise TO speak.
They do not vote by ron call AS they
do in congress. but take a division by
the members marching through the
division Hobbies where they are counted.
They never applaud by %clapping their
hands. but cry. Hear, Hear" And
this also is used in derision. So it is
not infreauent for those cries to come
from both sides of the chamber at
once. but in Il different tone of voice.
If one should drop into the house of
commons some evening when they are
having a turbulent debate. and see the
members %lounging in their seats with
their hats on. and listening to the
partisan speeches and hear the cheering
and derisive boots hurled across the
floor, all of which Is in such strange
contrast with the general character of

then parliament is at once dissolved
and another election is held. which, if
II results in the return of the party in
power. means that they will carry out
their program. and if the opposition is
successful, it means ii new govern

One can readily see that this sys-

Are All Strong Men.
The present English cabinet makes
a very strong government indeed. as
they are an aggregation OF strong
men with convictions, with aggressive
men where aggression is required.
with progressive men where progress
is required, and with II good sprinkline
OF conservatives. We have a fine on
portunity to observe them as they
take their places upon the treasury

Then. In an unassuming manner,
comes Winston Churchill, the brilliant
