WASTE OF WATER.

Chicago is another city that is appalled, at its water
1t is estimated that fully rs per cent OF the

ness and leakage. The per capita consumption now
reaches the figure Of 164 gallons day. al
though seventy gallons would be extravagant figure
1t is estimated that the city throws slS324S2
merely for pumping this wasted water Chicago is
face face with the necessity of spending millions for
water works unless it cut down the consump
ton. The city engineer who is much aroused the
situation the from radical recommendation
that meters be placed 40 cent of the faucets

be saving of 100000 year. and that the city could

The coronation of James II. reeked
with Ill omens. The most significant OF
them. as the people of the time consid-
ered, was that the Kings champion fell
full length at his feet when he went to
kiss his hand. II is the duty of the
champion TO challenge anyone contest
ing the right OF the King TO the throne.
There were many sneers upon the weak
ness Of this official on this occasion. At
this coronation also the Kings crown
tottered upon his head when it was
first placed there. and many prophecies
were based upon the fact.
When George III, was walking down
the aisle Of Westminster Abbey after he
had been crowned, a fair, large dia-
mond," as the chroniclers of the time
described ii, fell from his crown. The
noblemen and ladies who witnessed 1t
are said TO have been greatly awestruck
and aftcrward, when the American col
onies fell from among the Kings do
minions. II was recalled that on the oc-
casion OF the coronation prophecies OF
calamity were generally INDUCED In.
Probably no sovereign of history was
more superstitious himself than was
Louis N of France. whose superstition
received powerful intensity from the
Christening of his conscience. He had
numerous astrologers and dcmonologists
about him. On one occasion IL was pre-
dicted by one of tho court fortune tellers
The Washington times., 1902-08-03

that upon n certain day would occur the
death of one Of the favorite women Of
the court.
The woman did die, and the King in
his anger summoned the astrologer be-
fore him. commanding the subject to
foretell the day OF his own death. In
stantly the reader OF the stars replied:
Sire, l foresee that shall die Just
three days before your majesty"
This was too much for the aged King
and the fellow was dismissed in great
anger. The King always took great
pains afterward to see to Ii that this
mans health was well cared for.
From the time of his birth in Corsica
Napoleon was the subject of prophecy.
When he was crowned he took the crown
from the hands OF the Pope and placed
1t on his own head. 1t was a signal 10
his people that he reigned by his own
right and that he owed allegiance to nc
man, temporal or spiritual.
There are numerous superstitions con-
nected with the paraphernalia and re-
gala used at the coronation In England
For instance. it Is said that the corona
tion chair in Westminster gives out a
sound when a legitimate heir to the
throne sits in 1t, but In the case OF a
pretender the chair is dumb. The sound
comes, IL is alleged. not from the wood
en- framework of the chair, but from the
Stone OF Destiny" beneath the seat.
There is another tradition that wher-
avsr this stone shall be a Prince of the
The Washington times., 1902-08-03

There have been very few KinGs Of
England-very few royalties OF airy
country, In fact-about whom the~e has
not clustered a mass Of #UperstIfion.
Even as far back as the coronation Of
William the Conqueror it was regarded
as very ill-omened that Archbishop Stig-
and refused to attend the coronation
ceremonies. The refusal was based upon
the opinion that William was covered
with the blood of man
Astrologers busted themselves no little
with predictions concerning the reign OF
would close his reign on Ascension Day.
The fact of this prophecy having been
made was revived after the King had
been really crowned on Ascension Day,
and dire forebodings were felt In the su-
perstitious minds OF the tine.
Concerning Charles / thu e were nu-
merous predictions made from his youth
But the greatest impOriGu2e was at
tached to the fact that when he was
crowned he was robed Ia a garment of
white instead OF the royal purple Kings
had been accustomed TO wear on such
occasions.
1t was afterward ascertained that the
King had ordered a purple robo. but IT
did not arrive in time. Soothsayers "sf-
ter the fact interpreted wearing

not kept.

as was used by Jacob for pillow on tine
night when he dreamed Of heaven. The
Turks, however. claim to have Jacobs

gard to sovereigns was the one made at
Martinique by n negress when the En-

would "be Queen OF the greatest empire
that ever existed" This was subse-
quently realized.

Four things are very necessary for the
execution of the plans of the Associated
Charities in Washington. They are food,

The innovation providing means by

the reason that "an ounce of preven-

pleasure resorts much sickness and dis
