The powers. however, remain united, and
are apparently determined not TO yield any
thing but a strategic rectiflcasion or the
frontier. The question most discussed in
political circles is whether. in the event of
the contumacy Of Turkey, the powers Will
proceed TO coerce that nation. 1t is not
believed they could be brought to act in
unison on this point. The prevalent opin-

attempts at notification and secession dur
ing the first century of the Republic 1t is
good reading for US in the North as well as
for those of the South The notification
resolutions of 1898 was the first effort to un-
dermine federal supremacy, or, rather, to
interfere with setting UP such supremacy.
This was a Southern attempt under the
guse of state rights. The second was the
plot of some of the Federalists when out
of power in New England to form north

vide the Union was that of Aaron Burr. who

8. BY the adoption of a parcels post to at
least a limited extent: and
4. By a continuance of the plan of con-
solidating contiguous postoffices, as to
abolish useless offices and concentrate SUI

This shows that Mr.. Heath has already
got his part of the postal service well in
hand and knows where practical improve
ments can be made In simplifying the
foregoing points he brings out some inter-
esting facts. For instance, in regard to
the consolidation OF contiguous postofiices.

BRITAIN's PRECIOUS RELIC.
The Coronation Chair and the stone
of the Testimony.
:. E. Curtis, in Chicago Record.

w. E. Curtis, in Chicago Record.
The most precious relic in all England and
to the English in all Europe is an old gothic
chair which stands in the Chapel of St Ed
ward in Westminster Abbey beside the
Sword and shield of Edward III. 1t is made
of black oak in the gothic style, and the
back is covered with carved inscriptions,
including the initials of many famous men.
The feet are four lions, that look like poodle
dogs with their tails curled up over their
backs. The seat is a large stone about thirty
inches long by eighteen inches wide and
twelve inches thick and all the sovereigns
of England for the last eight hundred years
have sat upon it when they were crowned.
The chair is known as the coronation chair,
and the stone is claimed to be the same
which Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son OF
Abraham, used as pillow when he lay
down to sleep on the starlit plains of Judah
that memorable night as he was on his way
from Beersheba to Haran in search of a
wife 1t was then he had his dream and
saw angels and archanges ascending and
descending a ladder that reached to heaven,
greet promise which is being fulfilled to the
Jews this very day. And Jacob took the
stone and set it up for a pillar and poured
oil upon it, and vowed a and called
the name of the place Bethel.
The kings of Israel were crowned upon
this stone from the time that they ruled
nation-David, and Saul, and Solomon, and
all the rest.
The story goes that $50 years before
Christ, a the time of the BabylOnian cap
tivity, Circa, daughter of Zedekiah the last
married at Tara to Heremon, a prince of
the Tuatha de Danan-which is said to be
the Celtic name of the tribe of DAN The
traditions relate that this princess went
originally to Egypt in charge of the
prophet jeremiah her guardian and the
palace Taphanes, in which they resided
there, was discovered in 1886 by DR.. Petrie,
the archaeologist. After some years they
went hence to Ireland. and from Circa and
Heremon Queen Victoria traces her descent
through James I, who placed the lion of the
tribe of Judah upon the British standard.
jeremiah is said to have concealed this
sacred stone at the time of the destruction
of Jerusalem and the captivity Of the Jews,
and to have brought it, the stone of the
testimony" Bethel the only witness of the
compact between Jehovah and Israel. to
Ireland where it was known as the liza
phail (stone wonderfully 1t was carried to
Scotland by Fergus /, and thence TO Lon
don in the year 1900 and has been used at
the coronation of every king and queen of
England from Edward / down to Victoria
1t is thus the most priceless historical OBJ
ject in the British empire, as it was the
palladium of Israel. 1t is a curious fact
that the affairs of Ireland were called
BOthel. houses of God.
