cRowNING OF a GEAR.
The Coming Ceremony VIII Cost Five
millions of Dollars.


Millions of Dollars.
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 life
time, 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 Gar is really the Gar.
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 S4,000,000; that of his prede-
cessor considerably over S5,O00,-
600; but in each case show was
provided for the people of Russia
that was wildly remembered un-
til supplanted in the popular
mind by the splendors of the next.
The coronation is regarded as
much more than the simple act of
placing a bauble upon the head of
the first man in the state; it is a
series of gorgeous ceremonials,
and the people of every nation
that forms a part of the greatest
empire on the earth are required
through their representatives to
assist, while the spectacle is made
still more brilliant by the presence
of the ambassadors of every power
on the globe and of large numbers
of princes of the reigning houses,
for royalty always assemblies to
congratulate the newly crowned
monarch.--Boston Transcript.

Progressive Hammock PARTIES.

A progressive hammock party is
something new. At one recently given
in a smaller Wisconsin city each guest
upon arrival was presented with n tiny
half square of cardboard on which was
written one-half of some chosen sub
ject. Partners were found by match
ing these cards, the man having the lat
ter half of the subject being privileged
to sit for five minutes with the girl
who held the first part of the subject.
The lawn p.esented a very pretty pic
ture, hung as 1t was with Chinese Ian
terms and hammocks and having rugs
spread over the grass. Over each ham,
mock h ing a cardboard each bearing a
line. The couple whose card bore the
same inscription as that above the
hammock occupied that particular one.
Among the subjects were: An Ideal
Boy, An Ideal Girl. Love Spoons and
Chaperons. Each man conversed for
five minutes upon one subject, and then
progressed to the next hammock where
conversation upon another topic was
renewed. After each hammock had
been visited the girls voted as to which
man had entertained them in the best
manner, and he won the prize.

every Chinaman who comes here is
under the care of the Six Companies.
They sign a contract guaranteeing to
return the bones of the dead for burial
with those of their ancestors. On
every steamer leaving San Francisco
there are invalid Chinese steerage
passengers who hope to live until they
reach their native country. An agree
ment exists between the Six Compa-

Companies furnish collins OF the pecu-

emergencies. When a Chinaman dies
at sea his body is embalmed. placed in
a sealed coffin and lowered into the
hold. The expense is paid by the
other Chinese passengers and stewards
OF the ship, all of whom belong to that
race. When the ship reaches Hong
Kong the collins are delivered to the
Tung Wah hospital, which gives them
to the surviving friends in China.
Every Chinaman among us is supposed
to be registered at the Tung Wah hos

Stanwood, a brother of Hannah, was
the father of Mrs James G.. Blaine. and
thus the relations, cemented by friend

was led into close friendship with Mr..
Blaine, and at the death of the latter
she became his literary executor, be-

documents of value TO her as his au-
thorized biographer. She was engaged
as frequently as her health would per-
NIT on Mr.. Blaines biography from the
time OF his death until her illness OF
last year, and il is thought her untir-

rambling old house, now standing near
the Methodist camp meeting grounds.

her parents until the old man died.

Miss Dodge had begun to acquire
considerable success and prominence
as writer when her father and moth

schools in Hamilton until she was Is

This was fashionable old training
school in its day for the young folks
of the old colony families. Thence she
