Boston Evening Transcript
The imperial coronation shortly to take
place in Moscow will doubtless be one OF
the grandest state displays ever witnessed
in Europe Russian coronations are not
numerous. an occasion of this kind comes
but once in lifetime, and the policy Of the
Russian imperial family has always been
TO dazzle the eyes of their subjects by
magnificent court dramas. in which the
car is really a car. To this end Russian
coronations have been made as splendid as
the resources of the empire permitted.
The coronation of the emperor who has
just passed away cost over 81. 90, 90; that
of his predecessor considerably over 5000
coo; but in each case a show was provided
for the people of Russia that was wildly
remembered until supplanted in the popu-
lar mind by the splendors of the next. The
coronation Is regarded as much more than
the simple act Of placing oauble on the
head of the first man of the state; ii is a
series OF gorgeous ceremonials, and the
people OF every nation that forms part or
the greatest empire on the earth are re-
quired, through their representatives, 10
assist. while the spectacle is made still
more brilliant by the presence or the am
bassadors of every power on the globe and
of large numbers of princes OF the reigning
houses. for royalty always assemblies 10

The preparations for a Russian corona
ton are very elaborate. and comprise,
among other things. the laying up or great
stores of provisions in Moscow, for the
houses of that venerable city are COM
PEELED on coronation occasions to entertain
from $4,000 TO 6o0, ZOO strangers who jour
ney to witness the ceremonies. Every
province in the empire sends deputation:
every tribe in the PARKWAY districts or
Siberia, on the steppes OF Central Asia,
from the Khivans 10 the Eskimos along
the shores OF Boring strait, sends one or
more representatives to present the hom-
age Of the tribe to the great white car.

ing nations in the heart of Asia; Tor over
fifty Languages and double that number OF
dialects are spoken in the Russian domln-
ions, and the people of every language
must present their homage to the car In
their own tongue. The imperial corona
tons always take place in the Cathedrai

THE TwENrY-THIRD PSALM.

Ny Shepherd is the Lord my God
There is no want I know:
His flock He leads in verdant meads.
Where tranquil waters flow.
He doth restore my fainting soul
With His divine caresS,
And when l stray, He points the way
To paths OF righteousness.
Yea. though I walk the vale OF death,
What evil shall fear2
Thy star and rod are mine. o God,
And Thou. my Shepherd, near.
Mine enemies behold the feast
Which my dear Lord hath spread:
And, 10, my cup He fiileth up,
With oil anoints my head.
Goodness and mercy shall be mine
Unto my dying day:
Then / viii bide at His dear side
Forever and for aye!
