PRECEPT AND PRACTICE.
K Difference Between His Theory and
His Action.
"The mind is a marvelous thing,"
said Professor Zachariah Terwilli
ger to his psychology class. His lec
ture and its sequel are printed in
the New York Sun. "Letus con
eider," -went on the worthy sage,
"the process expressed in the good
olcbhomely phrase, 'making up one's
mind.' I am on the threshold of
ian important decision. What I de
termine to do may have a grave
hearing on my future. First I pon
der over the matter carefully. I
look at it in every aspect examin
ing it searchingly in all lights, from
all angles. By the indefinable proc
esses of reasoning I arrive at a cer
tain conclusion. But that is not
all.
"As a man of discretion it he
hooves me to secure counsel. I
listen carefully to judgments, not
ing zealously each person's individ
ual bias;' Then I assort and cata
logue these outside opinions.
"I next step aside psychically and
view the array. Having, as I mod
estly beg to .claim, a plastic, al
though notably individual, mind, I
am able, thus to project myself into
the personalities., of others and
view my -own impressions and my
ownstatus a&theymight view them.
This, poling -gentlemen, is an espe
cially valuable exercise. I urge you
to cultivate tfie f acuity. a-
iFihauy I itTe one last sweeping
survey to the whole subject. Then
I decide. My mind is made up ir
revocably. No stress, no threats
could alter that decision; no cajol
ery, no urging, could modify it,
for,, next to moderation and open
mindedness, there is nothing so
valuable as firmness.
"This illustration has been taken
from actuality. I have come to an
unalterable decision."
The students departed much im
pressed. The professor, in a glow
of self satisfaction, sought his home.
Mrs. Terwilliger met him at the
door. v
"Zachariahf she said, "have
you made up your mind on that
matter?"
"Yes, my dear; I have thought it
over and decided to .say no."
"Really!" There was a touch of
irony in the,good lady's tone. "Well,
I've thought it over, too, and Fve
decided you must accept. It would
he nonsense to" Mrs. Tcrwuli
ger's aspect was ominous. '

THE PRIME MINISTER.
He Is the Real Ruler of the Great Brit-
ish Empire.
- The real ruler of -the British em
pire is not the titular sovereign nor
the hereditary nobility. It is the
leader of the political majority, vo
derives his power solely from the di
rect Tote of the people. The prime
minister of England is subordinate
neither to the king nor the house
of: '-peers.' Every man who shares
with him in, the. work of the gov -ernmentis
his subordinate.
' . Following a general election the
sovereign gends for a member of the!
majority party arid instructnini-fo!
Jojinva- government. This is one of
hos.e iicticris of the constitutional,
authority of the sovereign to which
ffle English people fcling as to the
heritage of tradition. The sum
mons is delivered, hut it is merely a
form. The party leader is such not
by-the grace of' 'the . sovereign, hut
by the choice of 'the' majority; not
by election, but because he has the
qualities,of leadership.
The leader, having received the
sovereign's instructions to form a
government, becomes by that man
date the autocrat of the empire.
His power is absolute. Like the
president, he may appoint whomso
ever he pleases a member of his cab
inet, but, unlike the president, he
is not influenced by geographical
considerations, nor does he have ir
submit his nominations to the pen
ate. In both countries the mem
bers of the cabinet hold office at tl.f
will of the appointing power, but
the tenure of office is even more
precarious in England than it is in
the United States. Here a minister
may differ from the president on a
matter of policy and not feel it in
cumbent upon him to resign. In
England there can be no differeneop.
Either a minister agrees with his
chief or he resigns.
In England the cabinet is an ex
tra legal creation. Nominally it i3
one of the committees of the privy
council, whose functions are to ad
Tise the sovereign, but this is sim
ply a survival of niediaevalism. The
cabinet is under the sole control of
the premier, unhampered by royal
or other interference. But anoth
er Furvival no member of the cab
inet may make public any matter
discussed b- the cabinet without the
express sanction of the sovereign,
and when the premier issues a sum
mons to a cabinet council, whicljj
meets at irregular intervals, accord
ing to the exigency of public busi
ness, the minister is "requested to
attend a meeting of his majesty's j
servants." A. Maurice Low in Ap-!
pleton's Magazine. -
Trfer-:
Uncomfortable Korean Houses.
The "kang," the Korean house
furnace, renders -the atmosphere of
the inns where travelers take their
rest almost insufferable. It is pic
tured as a primitive though ef
fective means of heating the houses
throughout the kingdom. A small
fire of brushwood is lighted in the
small furnace at one side of the
house, thence numerous flues under
the mud floor conduct the smoke
and hot air to an upright chimney
or hole in the wall at the opposit"
end or side, and a little fire suffices
to thoroughly heat a large house. A
I traveler says he is not surprised to
nnu cougns ana colas common, lor
an indoor temperature of 70 de
grees or 80 degrees and an outdoc
one of zero form trying extreme.
Moreover, the constant warmth
seems to keep alive the numerous
flies, fleas, bugs and cockroache
with which most of the houses
Bwarm. "
JtpiVt Ancient Civilization.
Arthur M. Knapp in his Feudai
mx& Hoderh Japan" points out, as
other ohserving historians have
iffontfc'before him, that the apparent
ly miraculous conversion of Japan
tl "modern civilization is not so
strange xmce it is realized that. Ja
j&n was already in a- high state oi
civilization at the opening of the
$TCsenfcjnodero era. Some time be
fore 'America -'was discovered the!
Japanese had their banks,. clearing
House and Europe's supposedly mod- j
em system of bank checks, drafts,'
letters of credit and notea of band.
A "thorough rural delivery posra'j
system also was hi vogue among the'i
Japanese in the days when painter.
Indians still roamed the shores of j
!New England and the Atlantic
coast.
Two Hats.
-"Mr. Hankinson," asked innocent
little Tommy, who was entertaining
the young man in the parlor while
his sister upstairs was putting the
finishing touches or her complex-J
ion, wny don t you wear tne Kmc
of plug hat Mr. Simmons does when
he comes here ?"
"What is the matter with my pliv'
hat, Tommy?" inquired Mr. Hankin
son, with a large, genial smile.
"Ilis'n will straighten out again
when I sit down on it," answered
