ENGLAND'S KING NEVER DIES.
The Law Simply Admits a Transfer of
Royal Authority.
It Is a curious point of British law
tbat the king never dies, or, to put It
In another way, It would bo useless for
any barrister to argue that the ruler's
predecessors have really died, since
the utmost law will admit is that there
may be a "demise of the crown,"
meaning, of course, simply that there
has been a transfer of the royal au
thority from one person to another.
It is a maxim that "the king can do
no wrong," and under the law he would
not be held personally responsible for
ouy crime or "tort" that he chose to
commit at any time. At any rate, we
are assured by high constitutional au
thorities, the law should actually and
literally be so construed and that the
statutes hold that any Injury his maj
esty might Inflict upon a subject must
be ascribed to the king's advisers. One
thing seems to be certain, and that li
that his majesty can under no circum
stances whatever be arrested. Nor,
moreover, could his goods be distrained
or taken In execution should he fall to
meet his liabilities.
A quaint feature of British law is
that in theory the king is present at
the law court at every sitting, though
he might In point of fact be actually
on the continent or elsewhere. It fol
lows, therefore, that it Is impossible to
"nonsuit" him as plaintiff should he
not put In an appearance when his
case is called, since the law specifically
states that the king Is there. In a sim
ilar sense the king Is always construc
tively present in parliament, though he
be. In fact, thousands of miles from his
shores.—Exchange.
THE SPILT PEARLS.
An Old Paralan Fable of the Caliph and
His Faithful Slave.
The most beautiful of all Persian
fables, perhaps, is called "The Split
Pearls" and relates how tho couriers
of a certain caliph marveled at his
choice of an Ethiopian slave for his
constant attendant and at the high
honors he bestowed on this follow,
who had no special distinction of
beauty, strength or grace. Thereupon
the caliph told them that, though the
slave's features were not fair, kind
ness beautified them.
Once, when a cumel of the caliph's
train tripped in a narrow street, a cas
ket fell, broke, and rich pearls fell ev
erywhere. The caliph nodded to his at
tendant slaves to pick them up, saying
that they might have them for them
selves, and they all rushed to pick up
as many as they could.
One alone remained behind the ca
liph, the Ethiopian, who did not move.
Turning to him, the caliph asked him
what he was doing, lingering there,
and received the answer that hlB duty
was faithfully to guard his master,
and he had sufficient reward in doing
that No one could be called a faithful
servant who forgot his duty to his mas
ter for the sake of the gifts his master
gave.
"Therefore," said the caliph, "I keep
him at my side, for be has shown him
self to be possessed of the brightest
jewel a man can possess, the Jewel of
faithfulness."—Argonaut

Original Potato King.
John Pounds, an English cobbler,
was the original potato king. He cob
bled shoes for sailors in Portsmouth
and was grieved by the sight of tbe
ragged boys who ran about the quays.
He set himself the task of rescuing
them. A hot potato was a wonderful
delicacy for these youngsters. John
Pounds set his bait. He offered hot
potatoes to boys who would come to
him and be taught to read and write.
Often he was seen pursuing a boy
along the wharves holding out a potato
like a farmer trying to catch a colt
with a feeding of oats. Usually John
Pounds and the hot potatoes won. He
crowded his narrow workroom with his
charges. When he died it was reported
of him that he had saved 500 children
to useful citizenship.—Toledo Blade.
Oiloloth as a Cur*.
Pretty soon after the new arrival In
one of New York's big hotels had been
assigned to his room he telephoned
down to the office for two strips of oil
cloth.
"Another one," said the clerk after
assuriug the guest that the oilcloth
would be sent up Immediately. "He
is a sonnambulist, I suppose. We
keep strips of oilcloth In reserve for
fellows like him. They spread It on
the floor at either side of tho bed.
Stepping on cold oilcloth when he gets
out of bed Is pretty likely to awaken
the most confirmed sleepwalker and
prevent nocturnal wandering."

THRUST THE LAW ASIDE.
Cromwell Had His Own Views on the
Rights of an Embassy.
Nowadays the Invasion of a foreign
embassy would be a serious matter,
but in the days when Oliver Cromwell j
was lord protector of England there ,
was no flno discrimination to favor
members of an embassy. When such
members committed crimes against the
law of the land they were held to the
same accountability as though they had
been natives.
So It was that on July 10, 1053, Don
Pantaleon Sa, a Portuguese nobleman,
brother of the ambassador from that
country to England and a knight of
Malta, was beheaded on Tewer hill.
He had killed an Englishman, mistak
ing him for another. The Portuguese
took refuge with his brother, the am
bassador, who claimed that by the law
of nations his house was an inviolable
sanctuary for all his countrymen.
Cromwell sent a messenger to state
that If the criminal was not given up
to the civil authorities the soldiers
would be withdrawn from guarding
the embassy and the mob left to do as
It pleased. Every effort was made by
the Portuguese and other ambassadors
to save Don Pantaleon's life, but with
out avalL Cromwell made no other re
ply than, "Blood has been shed, and
justico must be satisfied."—Indianapo

MAXIMS OF MATRIMONY.
Suggestions That May Help Certain
Husbands and Wives.
I hold fast to the private maxim
that hardly anything is unendurable if
one sets up that all mankind could not
give one a quite worthy mate. But
there is another alleviation; under
standing not only that ono Is married
to somebody else, but also that some
body else is married to oneself and
that it is quite as hard for the other
party. There are many excellent things
to be done. Here are a few:
Do not open each other's letters.
(For ono reason, you might not like the
contents.) And try not to look liberal
If you don't ev»n glance at the address
or the postmark.
Vary your pursuits, your conversa
tion and your clothes. If required vary
your hair.
If you absolutely must be sincere let
it be in private.
(Especially for wives.) Find out on
the honeymoon whether crying or
swearing Is the more effective.
Once a day say to a wife, "I love
you." To a husband, "How strong you
are!" If the latter remark is ridicu
lous say, "How clever you are!" for
everybody believes that
Forgive your partner seventy times

Swatted His Egotism.
An English lady was taken in to
supper at a private party by a young
Scotchman who had a high estimate of
his own mental capacity. The talk
drifted to the subject of the Scot
abroad.
"I've often heard," said the lady,
"that Scotsmen who leave their coun
try are, generally speaking, much clev
erer than those who stay at home."
"Oh, yes," replied the Scot, with an
attempt at wit. "You see, the reason is
that at every outlet there are persons
stationed who examine all who pass, so
that for the honor of the country no
one is allowed to leave who is not able
to uphold his own and his country's
dignity."
"Oh, then," she said, with a bright
smile, "you wiere smuggled, were you?"

"Roorback" is a word that was adopt
