The Coronation Chair Of Great Britain.

Last night in the House of Commons
Mr.. Kenny complained that the public
notice attached to the coronation chair
IN Westminster Abbey had been altered
by the omission of all reference to the
legend that the coronation stone fn
Irish, Liza FaiD was first used for the
coronation of the Irish Kings, and was
only carried to Scotland by Fergus,
the Irish King who subdued that coun-
try. Mr.. Shaw-Lefeyre in reply offered
to show the honorable member 3 letter
of explanation he had received from
the Dean. The legend to which the
honorable member referred was not sd-
mitted to be accurate by many of the
best Irish authorities. The explanation
furnished by Dean Bradley was to the
following effect: Among the interesting
features of Westminster Abbey TIE
coronation stone has always been pop
ular. Many years ago an inscription
in Latin was attached to it stating that
the stone was the pillow on which Jacob
rested his head at Bethel, and the
legend went on to say that it was car
ried from Palestine to Egypt, sad
thence to Spain. From Spain it was
said to have been conveyed to the Hill
of Tara in Ireland.
In the year 1851, in order to meet the
convenience of the visitors to the Great
Exhibition, the head guide wrote on 8
label q notice to the effect that the stone
had been used at the coronation of the
ancient kings of Scotland and Ireland.
but omitted al reference to the legend
relating 10 Jacobs pillow. while retain
ing the clos mr. part eferring to Ireland.
The label having become dusty and
dirty, the guide. who has considerable
antiquarian knowledge, turned it over
recently, and on the ba k wrote simply
the fact with regard to Scotland, and
ignored the legend entirely. Dean
Bradley adds that geologists have con-
clusiveN shown that the chair is of
Scotch limestone, and that no stone of
fhe kind Is to be found in Palestine or
Egypt. He has. however, in conten-

"Do your women customers bother
you much9" asked citizen who was
talking with Woodward avenue grocer
the other morning.
"Well, they seldom want to pay the
prices. 1t seems natural for them to
want to beat down the figures. There
comes one now who probably wants
strawberries. Here ore some fresh ones
at fifteen cents per quart. and yet If !
should ask her only eleven she'd want
'em for ten
"Say, try it on, just for joke. II
she asks the price put it st eleven"
The grocer agreed. and presently the
woman came up, counted the sixteen
boxes of berries under her nose, and OF
course inguired?"
Have you any Strawberries this
morning?"
"Yes'm."
"Fresh ones?'
"Yes'm."
"In quart boxese"
"YeS'm."
"How much?" .
"Only eleven cents per box, mad
am"
"Pll take the whole lot" she quietly
observed as she handed out a five dol
lar bill and take 'em she did. (

ment, and the grocer somehow believes
