ENGLISH ROYAL VETO.
It I l'rii-tlMilly Extinct, Not Huvtngr
Ifreit Vmvd Since IT OH.
Tho t'urliest mention of 1 10 exorcise
of Urn royul veto was when King Hen
ry V., uliortly nfter llio victory of
ARhiciiiu't, s.ilil "Lc roy 8'nvlsern"
(the klii; will consider It) to u pntltlon
of piirlljinient iiv'ilnat the transferring
of sultn at common law Into chancery.
Many instances nre mentioned dur
ing Hiiceoedliig rclgng until that of
Queen Anne, who Is responsible for the
latest cxerelso of this very interesting
power In refusing the sovereign's as
sent to the bill for settling tho militia
of Scotland, passed by the lords and
tho commons on March 17, 1708. This
is recorded in the Journals of the house
of lords.
Since 1708 the veto has never been
used, though there was a threatened
exercise of royal power of rejection
toward the close of the reign of George
III. and also by Queen Victoria in 1858.
Mr. Hngchot considered that this pow
er is extinct and added that "Queen
Victoria must-slgu her own death war
rant If both houses present it for her
signature." London Standard.
JUGGLING WITH FIRE.
Wild California.
A geography published in 1812 con
tains the following startling descrip
tion of that section of our country
which Charles Dudley Warner bap
tized "Our Italy."
"California is a wild and almost un
known land, covered throughout tho
year by dense fogs as damp as they are
unliealthful. On the northern shores
live anthropophagi, and In tho Interior
are active volcanoes and vast plains
of shifting snow, which sometimes
shoot up columns to inconceivable
lielahls."
The book adds that some of these
statements would seem Incredible were
they not so well authenticated by
trustworthy travelers!
"t'oiiiinilHor Greek."
To show you how advisable It Is that
great attention should be given to the
study of Greek I wanted to present
"Oedipus Itex" on my Loudon stage. I
went to the lord chamberlain to ask his
permission. "No," lie replied, "certain
ly not." "Hut," I answered, "they do
it at Oxford." "Yes," said he, "but
they do It In Greek and nobody under
stands it. I'lny it In Greek and I will
give you my permission." That was
compulsory Greek with a vengeance.

Tricks and Deceptions Tbnt Were
Practiced In Ancient '1'lmri,
Fire tricks were practiced In very an
leut times. Many of today's best
known tricks were employed to deceive
the public of long ago. Tlmre Is noth
ing even now which astonishes the Ig
norant more than the breathing of
mime, an accomplishment handed down
from remote antiquity.
The first known Are breather was a
Syrian sluve named Etmus, a leader in
the servile war In Sicily, 130 B. C. He
pretended to have Immediate communi
cation with the gods. When desirous
of Inspiring his followers with courage
he breathed flames and xpurks from
his mouth.
In order to perform tills marvel 13u
nus pierced n nutshell at both ends,
and, having tilled it with some burn
ing substance, he put It In his mouth
and breathed through It. The same
trick Is performed today in an improv
ed manner. The Juggler rolls together
some llnx while it is still burning. By
this means tho fire is retained in tho
bull for a long time. He slips this ball
Intohls mouth unpercelved and breathes
through, it. His breath revives the Ore,
and he sustains no injury so long as
he Inhales through his nostrils only.
For deceptions with fire the ancients
also employed nuphtha, which Is so
combustlblu that it kindles when it
only approaches a flame. The priests
of old took advantage of this property
of naphtha to mako their offerings
catch lire as if spontaneously.
Various theories have been advanced
to account for other feats. An ancient
ordeal was the holding of a retlliot iron
by tho accused. Such trkils were con
duced by the priests, who covered the
lunula of those whom they desired
should escape with a protective paste.
The peculiar property of mineral salts,
such as alum, In protecting articles of
dress from fire hns long been known.
An old Milanese devised a costume con
sisting of a cloth covering for the body
which had been steeped In alum. A
metallic dress of wire gauze was add
ed to this, and thus protected a man
ould walk on hot Iron In the midst of
flames.
Very interesting experiments have
shown that great heat may be endured
by the human body. Two doctors in
the course of their researches on the
subject stayed In a room where the
temperature was 200 degrees. A beef
steak was cooked in the same atmos
phere and was overdone In thirty min
utes. Sir Francis Chantrey remained
for two minutes In a furnace much hot
ter, tho thermometer Indicating 320
degrees when he came out. Washing
ton Star.
He Thonirlit He Stopped the Paper.
An acquaintance met Horace Greeley
one day and said, "Mr. Greeley, I've
stopped your paper."
"Have you?" said the editor. "Well,
that's too bad." And bo wei.t his way.
The next morning Mr. Creeley met
his subscriber again anil said, "I
thought von had stopped tho Tribune?"
"So I did."
"Then there must be some mistake,"
said Mr. Greeley, "for I just came
from the office and tho presses were
running, the clerks were as busy as
ever, the compositors were hard at
work, and the business was going on
the same as yesterday and the day be
fore." "Oh," ejaculated the subscriber, "I
didn't mean that I had stopped the pa
per. I stopped only my copy of It be
cause I didn't like your editorials."
"Pshaw!" retorted M. Greeley. "It
wasn't worth taking up my time to tell
me such a trifle as that. My dear sir, If
you expect to control the utterance of
the Tribuno by the purchase of one
copy a day or if you think to And any
newspaper or magazlno worth reading
that will never express convictions at
right angles with your own you are
doomed to disappointment." Success
Magazine.
Ilet-ween Meal Mnnchliwa.
An undoubted menace to health is the
continual munchings of youngsters and
grownups. The child spends his penny
or nickel at tho fruit stand or the con
fectioner's or baker's, where, more of
ten than not, the wares are adulterat
ed, open to dust from the street or
stuffy apartments. The mother takes
the edge from her dinner aprjctlte by
midafternoon confections and Ices and
teas. At the table wholesome substan
tiate are passed by for toothsome des
serts because stomachs have been al
ready overtaxed and taste Is the only
incentive to eating. The result Is dys
pepsia and Its train of ills, or, If noth
ing so apparent ensues, nerve and
brain fore are weakened. The good
old rule, "three meals a day and no be
tween meals," of orthodox mothers
who are now grandmothers carried
Into effect .today would set many a dis
ordered household right and revolution
ize the disposition of many a man, wo
man and child.
