The coronation OF the emperors OF
Ethiopia at Axoun, the holy city Of
Abyssinia, is ceremony unequaled in
barbaric splendor in all Africa. Itesen

enthusiasm. The sacred person of the
emperor, in great pomp, clothed in
royal purple silk, with a gold cross ID
his hand, proceeds, On a horse with
frappings of indescribable richness, to
the church, followed by the dignitaries
and aristocrscy Of the empire, also
clothed in all the richness and bright
colors of the east. Arrived before the
sacred edif1ce, on descending he finds
many young girls, dressed in white,
who prevent his entrance by bands or

OFF FOR HIDDEN TREASURE.
Two Expeditions Organized for the Search
of Lost Wealth.


Recently couple of expeditions have
started from San Francisco to unearth
two deposits of treasure as rich and mys-
ferrous as the lost mines of the Aztecs.
One, a party of fasteners. has gone to
San Miguel island, OF Santa Barbara, to
find the chests of Spanish doubloons
which, according TO tradition, were lost
there years ago in the wreck of Span
ish bark. The SURVIVORS secured their
gold and buried it in q cave close to
the historic spot where Cabrillo landed
and afterward, going to the mainland,
were slain by the Indians. The second
expedition, which Ia backed by hotel
keeper in Stockton, makes Cocos island,
cff the coast of Central America, its
objective point Cocos island was once
the resort of pirates and on it, the tale
goes, some of the buccaneers buried
their riches. The Stockton hotelkeeper
and his associates have gone to work IN
e businesslike way. They have secured
concession from the Nicaraguan gov
ernment to farm the island for a num-
Der OF years and have imported a num-
Der of Germans who, If the treasure does
not turn up, will get what they can out
of the land by growing coffee. So far
their search has been unsuccessful, the
directions on the chart which locates
the pirates hoard having led to nothing.

DON'T TURN AND STARE

It Is Wen. After All. That Women Love
Pretty Dressing.
Two women pass each other in the
street of a provincial town; they are
not acquainted, yet it is long odds that
one OF them turns around to look after
the other-very short odds against both,
doing SO. 1t is not the gait, says the
Nineteenth Century, or the figure, OF the
hair Of the stranger that has attracted
attention, it is the dress, and not the
person within it. The gentle anarchists
who are busy organizing the debrusali-
Lation of man viii, of course, attribute
this little failing to the vacuity of the
feminine mind by reason of mans tyr
amy in excluding women from boards
of directors and other intellectual
arenas 1t may be conceded that
psychology and betterment are more
gecondite fields than millinery, but this
would be but a dull world and far ug-
Tier than it is, il every woman had
soul above chifPons. Odds grenadine
and tarlatani that were q CONSUMING
ton by no means desirable. No, let all
men who have eyes to see witha1 or
hearts to lose set great store by the
pains bestowed on pretty dressing; but
If one may speak and live, the art should
be studied with subtlcr tact than is
sometimes seen. It should be better
concealed; il is distressing to see
young woman's eyes wandering over
the dress of her with whom she is talk
Ing, for if the mind be engaged in tax
Ing note of external detail, conversation
ceases to be intercourse, and becomes

SWIFT PIGEONS
More Than NILE Made a Minute In a
Recent Trial.

Aided by southerly wind and per
fectly clear sky, the first test of the
pigeons which are 10 represent the FIRST
Chicago Homing club in the National
federation races this year was a most
notable success, says the Chicago Chron-
icle- The trial was remarkable in more
than one feature. Two hundred and
eighty-one birds, the largest number
which the club has ever liberated from
one racing station, made the trip, and
of that number every bird was reposing
peacefully In it's loft by one o'clock in
the AFTERNOON. The time made by the
first birds to arrive home was the fast
est ever made over the course, and rep,
resents a speed of more than a mile a
minute.
The birds were liberated at Monee,
~ miles away from the nearest loft,
at 1850 o'clock, and White Wings, owned
by L. Verschueren, stepped back in its
loft at s:141.. White Wings was closely
followed by nearly half the flock, and so
arrivals were reported between Sis and
SIT. Inasmuch as every bird spent 1T
least as much as five minutes in circhn@
before starting on line for home, the
speed shown IS materially more than
9 mile in each 60 seconds.
AS an illustration of how little even
the best fanciers are able to judge OF
the merits Of their own pets, it is in
teresting to note that White Wings had
been considered almost worthless. Only
q month ago he was fOwn from Sixty
first street, distance of eight miles.
TO his loft, and took 10 days 20 make the
journey. That was his first trial, and
he was sent to Monee Saturday quite
as much in the hope that he would be
lost as for any other reason
