BRITAIN'S CABINET
! It Really Has No Legal Warrant
For Its Existence.
; YET IT RULES THE NATION.
This Matt Pewerful and Important
|n IK? World It Without
? Staff, a 8 ?c rotary, a Seal or a Miw*
uta Booh and Haa Na Fixed Noma.
! Sidney Low. the English writer. calls
I attention to the fact that the British
' cabinet has realty do standing in law.
i though it I* actually the body which
! rules England. If# make* several In
teresting statements In describing the
| situation.
The British cabinet has long been
one of the mysteries of that greater
, mystery, the British constitution. To
I be quite exact. Indeed. It Is not correct
I to call It a part of the British consti
tution. for strictly speaking It la un
known to the constitution. The cabinet j
tndav rules the country, but it has
no legal status. It was not until about
1001 that the word "cabinet"' appeared I
m the notices paper or other official j
document
A cabinet minister takes the same
oath that erery privy councilor takes,
"to be a true and faithful aerrant
unto the king's majesty as one of his
majesty's privy council" and "*10 keep
mvrrt all matters committed and re
Tea led nnto you or that shall be treated
aecretly In CMMd" The entire body
?f the prlfy council Is suw?o*ed to ad
vise the soverArn on attaint of state,
but to be made a privy councilor to
day is practically an empty honor. It
is regarded as a high compliment, but
if a privy councilor Is not a member
of tlte cabinet he hears no secrets and
performs no official functions.
All the executive and political func
tions of privy councilors have passed
Into the ha t?ds of those of them who
form the cabinet, which M really a
secret committee of the king's servants
who In practice collectively rule the
country so long as they remain In of
fice.
"But" as Sidney Ix?w writes In an
article In the London Dally Mall, "no
act of parliament ever gave them these
powers, which could not be asserted or
defended In any court of law. Tbey
are due to prescription, see Went and
custom.
-Technically the cabinet as a cabl
net can do nothing It cannot even
write a letter or iwnie a signed order
It has not Indeed the means of doing
so. for It docs not keep a clerk or a
typewriter; It baa no office, nor has
it any money where* Ith to buy a sheet
of note paper. The most powerful and
important committee In the world Is
without a staff, a secretary, a seal, a
minute book or a fixed location.
"When a cabinet council alts It has
no agenda before It, nor has It any
record of what was done at Its last
meeting. No one keeps the minute*,
and it Is still deemed ? little contrary
to etiquette for any minister to take ?
note of the proceedings or Indeed to
write anything at the meetings at all.
"In fact, the cabinet council la still
treated as If It were nothing more
tbsn a casttal private consultation be
tween a few of the privy councilors
It bears the traces of Its ancestry, for
ft was born over the dinner table.
"It originated In the reign of tjueeti
Anne In those famous Saturday din
ners at which a select group of the
privy council assembled to discuss the
affairs of their party without the pre*
enoe of the queen and of colleagues
whose presence was not desired. The
cabinet has alwaya kept to the tradi
tion. IV Is a secret committee of gov
ernment and a secret committee of the
dominant party In parliament, and
where the one function begins and the
other ends no one can ever say.
"All Its member* arc collectively re
sponsible for hte acts of one of them,
but there are no means of knowing
what the decisions of the cabinet are at
any moment till they are embodied In
action, or how many of the ministers
may disseut from the opinion of the
majority, or whether Indeed It Is the
majority or a minority that really di
rects the policy."
The promotion of Sir Rufns Isaac*,
the attorney general, to the cabinet
was a double novelty. Not only was
there ?o precedent for an attorney
general being a memfcer of the cabi
net. but never before had the official
announcement of the conferment of
cabinet rank mentioned, as It did In
the case of Sir Rufns Isaacs, the
words "his majesty's cabinet" This
appointment therefore marked a far
ther development In the acquisition
of a corporate existence by the cabi
net?New York Sun.
? How Mad*.
It Is a mystery to many how the
Iron balls Inside of alelghbells net
there. In making alelghbella the Iron
hall la put Inside a sand core Just the
shape of the Inside of the bell. Then
a mold Is mn.le exactly tbe shape of
the outside of tbe bell. The aand cop?.
vrlth the Jlnglet Inside, la placed In
the mold of tbe outside, and the melt
ed metal is poured in, which fills the
space between the core and mold.

BURNS IN THE RAIN.
Prop** Way ta Build a Campftea la I
Wsrtny Weather.
There are several waya of building a !
rampflt t thut an ordinary rata will not j
put out Tlila is one:
Lay twa sticks on the ground par
allel with ettch other and from two to
four times its far apart ax the diame
ters of the sticks Across these two
lay two roof*, as If you were starting
a cob bonae. If necessary drive stakea
info Ihe ground to ket-p the sticks In
plar-e
For the J?Mt atory of the cob hoo? j
use only one stick and place that oft
the aide on wblcb you are to be when
the (Ire Is turning. These live sticks I
may he green Dry wood makes a bet j
te* fire, but it needs rebuilding sooner
Roof over the cob bowse with any
kind of dry rood. The harder tbe rain
the mora there will have to be If this
roof it to sticd the water. Each atMc
of tbe roof tihould rent on the back I or
and on tbe last? the flflh? stick of the
cob bouse and be kept In place by the
side sticks.
HI) tbe Inside of the house with
kindlings and set Ore to them The
roof will bum on the under side, where
Ihe beat of the fire keep* It dry. As
each slick bums through It falls Into
tbe Are that fills the Interior of the
cob house The camper watches tbe
fire and cooks through the opening
between Ihe fore stick and tbe top
stick that supports tbe roof. He also j
feeds brand* and small kindling) |
through this opening, but puts tbe i
large sticks on tbe root.
It la surprising to see In bow hard
a rain this kind of Are will burn.?

halyards down too snugly when mak- j

and It comes on wet the shrinking of I
the halyard ? ttiua drawn taut to start
with may bo enough to bend the pole. ]
and If It stsmld be left in that way !
long enough Ihe pole would be penna i
neatly bent. Flag halyards when no j
flag is flying should be made fast with
a little slack."
