When Victoria Was Crowned.

From the London Times, June IS
Fifty years ago, on the 2Sth of June, 1893,
the crown of these realms was placed upon the
head OF Queen Victoria. On the morning of that
memorable day the sky was overcast for time and
between and rain fell. The procession, which a
vast multitude had gathered to see, would have
been shon of half its splendor and attraction if the
weather were unfayorable. Happily the sky cleared
and the sun shone forth brightly before the pro-
ccssion left buckingham Palace at l. DEL Jck The
beauty of the day was one Of the charms of
spectacle which had not been eoualcd
since the entry into London of the
allied soyereigns in 1914 An incident occurred be-
fore the end of the ceremony in Westminster Abbey
which, in the days of antiquity, would have been
hailed as good crren- ard zssh, ;I sAea q,
proved enBiematic OF the briianry Of reign that
is not only one of the longest, but is one of the
most memorable in our history After the roval
robe had been thrown over her majesty's shoulders
after the orb had been placed in her hand and the
ring upon her finger after the Holy Bible had been
presented to her and The archbishop of Canterbury
had pronounced q solemn blessing then, to use the
words Of our reporter, "a glcam Of sunshine which
now broke Though the south great rose window,
lighted right on her majestys crown, which
PARKED like a galaxy and lent still more
dazzling brillianCy to the scene" There are men
still living who were present not only at the
coronation Of the queen, but at that OF
her two predecessors on the throne. Yet the vast

is OH ferYent hope that many years may elapse be-
fore another coronation takes place in Westminster
Abbey When the queen was crowned there were
some old men whose memories might stretch back
to the time whe0 George III. assembled the throne,
yet there were many more to whom such an event
as coronation was not extraordinary, and who
had been present at that of George "; II years,
and at that of William W., seven years before
With the exception of the coronation of George
III, no event of the kind was more noteworthy
than that ofhe majesty since the succession of the
crown ofthese realms was settled by act Of parlia

A Unique Kind of Dumb-BeIls.

An Augusta boy who went regularly to the
Young Mems Christian association gymnasium last
winter became much interested in developing his
muscle. He had been told the best way to do this
was to swing Indian clubs, beginning with light
pair and gradually increasing the weight as he be-
came stronger. AS this would necessitate the pur-
chase of several pairs of clubs which he could ill
afford. he hit upon the following scheme. He was
the owner oftwo pups which, though small in size,
possessed TO remarkable degree that tenacity of
grlp for which the bulldog is SO justly celebrated
lie easily taught each ofthese to fix his teeth in the
end ola short stick, and then taking one of the
sticks in each hand he waved them about his head
in some of the simple movements. AS the dogs grew
his strength increased, and now he may be seen in
easy posture performing all the graceful gyrations
OF an expert club swinger with two wooden handles,
to the ends of which couple of 15-pound bulldogs
hang by heir teeth with death.like grip.

Trials and Tribulations of People Who

Beyond, however, the merely construc-
tive faults lie the real causes for dissatis-
faction with life In a fiat. They have no
resources. Tax them ever so little, they
cannot respond. Friends cannot be en-
tertained In them with any satisfaction;
TO be sick In a fiat 1ntensifes every ache
and pain; there is not cheerful room In
the suite when the parlor is shut of and
one must lie In the small not too airy
bed room, with oil the varied sounds Of
not only ones own household but also Of
that above and below, distinctly and
severally audible to the weakened nerves
and tired or feverish brain. And II a fiat
Is no place to be sick, still less Is IL
place to die. Grief there has neither
privacy nor sympathy. The mourning
pennant must fiutter from the common
entrance door through which strangers TO
the beloved dead indifferently pass; all
the paraphernalia Of death, the coming
and going Of the undertaken, the visits Of
condoling friends, and finally the last
sad bearing away, must be carried on
under the curious II half concealed
scrutiny Of the fellow tenants. A fat
should be like heaven--there should be
rying nor giving In marriage, neither
births, feasts nor funerals, nor any sor-
row nor pain-not one, indeed, of the
emergencies Of life should be encountered
under its mongrel roof
There, too, are the children In fats,

ulation TO reflect what sort of race be
developed from few generations of fiat
children. Physically the child Of fat is
subjected 70 all sorts Of restraint; the jan
itor exercises stern control over his eX-
uberance; his toys and litter can be really
nowhere in the cramped quarters which
his family occupy; his play ground is the
streets. Nor are his manners and morals
subjected TO the right sort of influence.

What Made the Tnilor Mad.

A Wabash avenue tailor was telling me
the other day of certain Chicago man,
a born rich artstocrat, who returned from
Europe not long since with 125 suits Of
clothes, all made in London. OF course
the Chicago tailor didn' like this, and had
several unpleasant remarks 20 make about
the codfshness of u man who would buy
125 suits OF clothes at once, and was par
ticularly severe upon the un-American,
unpatriotiC purchase Of them in a foreign
city. was more interested in knowing
what q man could do with 1875 suits OF
clothes, aud how long they would last
him. "Well," said the tailor, "he will
wear on an average three suits a day.
None of them will he care TO wear more
than ten or fifteen times, and so reckon
that his present outfit will last him till
he can make another trip to Europe, per-
haps this summer, OF at the latest next
year. Even in Chicago the London tailor
craze has taken from us some Of our most
profitable trade, and in New York the
tailors are finding London competition to
