English noblemen are the only ones
in Europe who ever wear coronets on
their heads, and the sole occasion
when they do so is at the coronation
of the sovereign. They hold them in
their hands through the ceremony,
and at the moment when the Arch
bishop of Canterbury places the crown
upon the monarch's head every peer
and peeress present dons his or her
coronet.
Inasnueh as nearly half of the House
Of Lords is composed of peers created
by Queen Victoria, it is probable that
none of them has taken the trouble to
provide himself with the silver coronet,
lined with crimson velvet, of his rank,
and were the Queen to die and the
Prince of Wales TO ascend the throne,
there would doubtless be a run on the
court silyersmlths for baubles of this
character.
The baron's coronet, worn by the
poet, Lord Byron, at the coronation
of George ~, and which was manu-
factured for the occasion, and is now
in this country and was in the posses

delphia Ledger, who converted IT into
chatting dish for the humble vege-
table known as the potato, having re-

that wanted him to. used TO prod

broken rib as result of his kindness

Let the mother become sick AMI helpless,
and the house is all in disorder When both
father and mother are down, you may as
well close the shutters. Order is brought out
of chaos often very easily. and Mrs. John
Malin, OF South Butte, Mont, Feb. IL, 1898,
found an easy way out OF her difficulties, as
she writes thus; ''NGy husband and took
very bad rheumatism from severe colds, and
my arms were so lame ! could not raisethem
to help myself. I sent at once for a bottle OF
st. Jacobs Oil, and before the bottle was half
empty, could so about my work. My hus-
band became so lame he could not get out OF
bed. Two and half bottles completely cured
him. l will always praise st. Jacobs oil and
you may use this as you see lt.' This is
clear case of what is best at the right mo-
ment, and how every household can be made
happy where pain abounds.

An old but very mistaken notion is that
drink gives strength. A test was once tried
TO determine the strengthening power of
alcohol. Two gangs Of men, as nearly equal
in size and strength us possible, were put to
work breaking stone. Both gangs contained
an equal number of men, but TO one gang
liquors containing alcohol were given. At
first the alcohol gang did by far the most
work. but when the effects of the alcohol
ceased, the men fell far behind the other men
in their work. so that at the end of the day
the gang which did not drink had done the
greatest amount of work. This was con-
tinued for three or four days, the result being
the same. The experimenters then reversed
the gangs, giving the non-alcoholic gang al
cohol, and allowing the alcoholic gang none ;
but the men not using the stimulant came
out ahead as before.

And silly tales sound full Of fun.

This ended the programme, which the
Superintendent of the Florin Sunday

the patrons of the school and friends.
Games and swinging followed, rs the
trees are sufficiently tall and the shade
furnished by the broad spreading
branches was so enchanting That the
merrymakers fingered long, and would
gladly have lived there forever if they
could have been regaled with ice-cream.
angel cakes and lemonade day after day.
But finally the tablecloths were folded,
the ice-cream freezers were emptied, and
SO. with many happy 'good-bys," the
merrymakers passed out through the
hop fields, fruit orchards and alfalfa
meadows TO their homes.
