History Of Russian Coronation.

London Echo.
The first Russian Car who introduced
the ceremony of coronation into Russia
was the mighty John III or Ivan Q462.
1000, the contemporary of our Edward
w., Richard Ill, and Henry VII. He
married Sophia, the niece of the very
last Imperial orthodox Emperor of Con
stantinople, and by this marriage claimed
a sort of succession to the first Christian
Caesar. 1t was in his reign, when the
Turk became master of the ancient CAPT
tai of Eastern Christendom, that the
kings of Western Europe seem first to
have become aware of the rise of the
powerful new Christian monarchy in
Eastern Europe, and began to send am
bassadors to Moscow. Ivan did not
crown himself, but in 1893 solemnly in
vested his grandson, Demetrius, with
the Imperial Christian diadem and robe
which had been brought from Constan-
tinople, and had been worn by the
Caesars of the Eastern Empire. The
ceremony of JUNCTION at the coronation
was afterward introduced by Ivan w,
or 1.-THE Terrible" and has since re-
manned as it had all along been in West
ern Europe, an inseparable adjunct of
the coronation. Ivan Nv was the first
Gar who received the Eucharist at his
coronation. Michael Theodrovitsch in
sisted upon being anointed, not only on
his forehead and over his lips, but on
his beard also, after the biblical prece-
dent. In earlier times the clergy of
the Russian Church played a greater
part than they do present in the cor
onation ceremony. AS it was held al
most indispensable alike in England,
France and Germany that the National
Primates, the Archbishops of Canter-
bury, Rheims and Mainz, should "con-
secrate" the national monarch to his
Office, so it was in Russia with the
Patriarch of Moscow. The Prelate was
supposed to be the peculiar steward
and minister of the sacramento rite of
coronation. He gave the divine con-
firmation and JUNCTION to the presumed
free choice of the people. The voice of
the people was thus supposed to become
the voice of God. The notion of a
divine right inherent in the head of a
reigning family was q comparatively
late conception in Russia, as well as in
the West. This appears, however, to
be now the predominant notion both of
the Russian Cars and the Prussian
Kings. The present German Emperor
took the crown from the altar and
placed it upon his own head. Similarly
in Russia the representatives of the
Church now play quite subordinate
part in the coronation of the Cars.
being little more than ministering SER
wants and and assisting spectators.
Formerly the Muscovite Patriarch stood
in much the same relation to the Mus
covite Monarch as the Roman Pope
stood to the Roman Emperors through
out the Middle Ages. The thrones of
the Gar and the Patriarch stood upon
an equal level, and Russian secular and
ecclesiastical chieftans represented the
ancient theory of 'the Two Swords"

AS general thing, the majority of
persons know nothing about what
wild, hilarious time hotel keepers have
in their efforts to struggle along from
one week to another and not be roped
in and bi,ked by the thousands of dead
beats who roam through the country,
with no assets but unlimited cheek, and
capacity for absorbing food that
would put to shame a horse power corn
shelter. 1t seems as if there were
million bilks of this stamp IN every
state in the union, and each one con-
juring up million new ways of beat
ing a landlord every week, and it takes
pretty nearly all of hotel mans time
to keep watch and see that he is not
taken in by some highway robber who
merely tells him to hold up his hands
and then goes through his hotel for n
weeks board and lodging. The other
day meek looking tramp walked into
q hotel in an Iowa town, set portly
looking grip" down on the floor and
quietly told the landlord that he was the
foreman of gang of telegraph linemen
who were engaged in putting up wires
in that neighborhood, and that he de-
sired to engage rooms and board for six
men. The landlord sized him up, re-
ceived him cordially and gave him sup
per and the best room in the house. In
the morning he got up and ordered din
ners put up for six men, who he said
were sleeping under a tent just outside
of the town, and he got his breakfast,
took the dinners for the men and de-
parted, and the landlord has not seen
him since. The landlord, who was
always known as quiet, good-ratured
fellow, has become changed man, and
he is SO hot now, that il water should
drop on him he would ''siss' like hot
stove lid. He says he can stand an or
binary tramp, but one that will not
only beat man out of two meals and
a nights lodging, but also rob him of
victuals enough to keep him all summer,
is more than any hotel man can stand
and he is loaded to the muzzle for
tramps now.-Peck's Sun.

How to Keep Potatoes.

\ good potato cellar should be dry, eapa-
bIe of being made perfectly dark and of be-
ing quickly and thoroughly ventilated If
the cellar is thoroughly dry. the tubers
might be stored upon the floor. but this is
not generally the case, and il is usually bes;
to construct bins whose floor is raised some
what above the cellar bottom. Board parti-
tions nay be used to separate varieties !;
there is much less danger of rot in this ar
rangement, and a greater opportunity is
given to pick them over in case rotting
should begin. Temperature is one of the
factors in keeping a potato. The germina-
ton power Of potato is injured if not de-
stroved when exposed to a temperature be-
low 80 deg. and il commences to grow at a
temperature above 80 deg. Then cellar
that could be kept within this range or bet
ter still, from 80 deg. to 40 deg, ought to
furnish sound potatoes until spring and that
would sprout freely. A light sprinkling of
lime upon potatoes when stored is preven-
iation against potato rot. Potato rot is a
parasitic fungus and the lime destroys the
yerm.-Ndiae Farmer.
