tand part of the
motion?" unless a majority sustains the words, they are struck out.

On motion for previous question, the form to be observed is, "Shall the
main question be now put?" This, if carried, ends debate.

On an appeal from the chair's decision, "Shall the decision be sustained
as the ruling of the house?" The chair is generally sustained.

On motion for orders of the day, "Will the house now proceed to the
orders of the day?" This, if carried, supersedes intervening motions.

When an objection is raised to considering questions, "Shall the
question be considered?" Objections may be made by any member before
debate has commenced, but not subsequently.

LETTER COMBINATIONS.

When King Stanislaus of Poland, then a young man, came back from a
journey, the whole Lescinskian House gathered together at Lissa to
receive him. The schoolmaster, Jablowsky, prepared a festival in
commemoration of the event, and had it end with a ballet performed by
thirteen students, dressed as cavaliers. Each had a shield, upon which
one of the letters of the words "Domus Lescinia" (The Lescinskian House)
was written in gold. After the first dance, they stood in such a manner
that their shields read "Domus Lescinia"; after the second dance, they
changed order, making it read, "Ades incolumnis" (Unharmed art thou
here); after the third. "Mane sidus loci" (Continue the star of this
place); after the fourth, "Sis coumna Dei" (Be a pillar of God); and
finally, "I! scade solium!" (Go! ascend the throne). Indeed, these two
words allow of 1,556,755,200 transpositions; yet that five of them
convey independent and appropriate meanings is certainly very curious.
