One of the picturesque English enro

discontinued is hat Of lifting the king
In the cid days the monarch always
slept at the palace Of Westminster OF
the night before the coronatiau The
reealia, which are still tcchnieHilv

Westminster, were brought by them to
Westminster ball in preparation for
the ceremony. These We're arranged
on a long table, the crown, the scepter

he descended from the palace To Nest.
Minister hall was lifted by his uobles
on to a marble chair.
The lifting OF the king into this chair
was a survival of the old Saxon custom
Of carrying the king on his shield The
custom survived up to the time of he

Tortoise Shell.

What is known as tortoise SHELF
consists of the thin outer scales which
overlie the shell of species of sea
turtle. The Smelling process consists
in spreading dried leaves or grass even
" over the back and then setting them
on fire. The heat causes the shell to
separate at the joints, but does not in
lure it. A large blade is then inserted
horizontally between the laminn,
which are gently pried from the back.
Many turtles do not survive the proc
ess, but most of them live and get a
new covering, just as man will grow
a finger nail in place of one he may
lose.

HURRAH FOR c AND A.
Local Military Companies Lead Bri-
 gade With Marks of 100.

In general orders No 15 the stand ing of the several organizations of the
 National Guard for the month of April is given. The Second regiment heads the brigade with a figure of merit of 94.S3. The figures for the other regiments are: First. 92:OG: Fourth. 90.16; Third, S4.31. The fig ure of the Second regiment is mater ially increased by the singular coinci- dence that two companies, A and G. both of Waterbury. each scored per- lection, 100. The figure is unusual
 and it is still more remarkable that two companies. located in the same city, should make 1t during the same month. The figures for the other or ganizations of the brigade are: Ma chine Gun battery 9G63: Troop A. 95.03; Signal corps, 93.19; Separate company, 91.97; Battery A. S959; Naval battalion. s5.93. No figure is given for the First company, coast ar tillery, as that was not armed and equipped.
 Adjutant General Cole has issued the following order to the several or ganizations of the National Guard in. relation to the observance of Memorial day:
 General orders, No 16.
 The garlands which decorate the graves of the American soldiers on Memorial Day express the tender re- gard of the people composing this grand nation for every hero who re- sponded so nobly to duty's call in de- fense of flag and country. As time rolls on. the sacrifices made by the brave defenders of our union the val or displayed by them On many battle fields, the privations endured on the march and bivouac, are appreciated by each succeeding generation as a good- ly heritage, and incentive to preserve unsullied, sustain by precept, and if necessary, by example, the prestige and glorious record bequeathed as q rich legacy by those who participated in the war that saved this nation from disruption
 The National Guard of this com- monwealth join with the surviving members of the Grand Army of the Republic in recognition of the cere- monies connected with the observance of Memorial Day; therefore. in accord ance with the usual custom, it is or dered that the national flag be dis played May 30, 1902, at the state ar Senal, state armories. and the Soldiers home, Noroton, at half-staff from sun rise until midday; at noon the flag will be hoiSted to top of staff, and remain there until sunset

HAS NO COAST ARTILLERY. Therefore Connecticut Soldiers Cant
 Take Part in Maneuvers.

The plans for the naval and mili- tary maneuvers off the coast of Con- necticut have been changed and the secretary of war has now decided to employ no troops but heavy coast ar tillery and engineers, with naval re- serves. The change, emitting the troops from this and other states, has been made on account of the lack of funds for maintaining the militia. It was originally intended to land large number of troops on the islands of the coast to defend them from naval at tack. The change will prevent any Connecticut military from participate ing, but the naval battalion will take part. If the state had q regiment of coast artillery, it is thought the matter of expense would have been overcome. The war department has accepted the services of the First regiment, Massa- chusetts Heavy Artillery, q distinc- tively coast artillery regiment, and that state will assume the expense This will be the only militia regiment to participate in the maneuyers this summer.

 TWO PHILIPPINE SPEECHES.
Senators Dubois and Beveridge Dis-
 cuss the Question.

Senators Dubois and Beveridge Dis-
 cuss the Question.
 WASHINGTON, May 24-A temper ate and carefully prepared speech was delivered in the senate yesterday on the Philippine bill by Mir. Dubois Qda). He confined himself almost entirely to a discussion of the commercial and in- uustrial aspects of the Philippine ques- ton, his purpose being to show that it would be disadvantage to the people of this country to retain the islands. Whatever of profit there might be in them, he said, would accrue to few capitalists who by their development of the resources of the archipelago through cheap labor would come into competition with the agriculturists and manufacturers of the United States in the markets of the world. This govern ments activity ill the Philippines also would serve to arouse China from her letnargy, and, once aroused, the dragon would devour the trade of the world.
 An earnest and forcible reply to Mir. Dubois was made by Mir. Beveridge Qnd.), who contended that the develop ment of China's resources would be of advantage i'll trade and commerce to the United States, us the industrial de- yelopment of other nations had been.
 The house devoted the day to private pension bills and to a few other minor measures. MT. Loud (Cal) criticised the special pension legislation as dis grace and drew emphatic responses from Messrs. Subway (N H), Sulzer N. Y.) and Miers Qnd.). In all 105 pri- vate pension bills were passed. The house adjourned until Monday in order to participate in the Rochambeau cere- monies

China Gets oGer For Opium Rights

PEKING, May 24.-A German firm has offered the Chinese government $15, ,O00,00 annually for the exclusive rights of selling opium throughout the empire. The officials are disposed to regard the offer favorably, as it is an easy method of raising revenue. The promoters have sounded several of the ministers concerning the attitude of the powers. Outsiders consider the project impracticable, as the monopoly is i'm possible of enforcement if granted.

TRADE CONDITIONS.

 Miners Strike Seriously Affects Some Lines--AErfcuIturaI Outlook Bright.
 NEW YORK, May PAR. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 Many minor labor controversies have been settled, but the situation in the anthracite coal region has assumed q more serious aspect. Far from making overtureS toward an agreement both sides are preparing for a stubborn struggle. The next crisis will occur on June 2, when pump forces will stop work unless their demands are granted Not only the miners but most railway and mercantile employees in the vicin- ity of the mines are idle, and manu- facturing plants at other points using hard coal for fuel must soon suspend operations. Such loss in the pur- chasing power of vast army of con- sumers will be reflected in decreased distribution of merchandise if contin- ucd for any length of time In bright contrast to this adverse influence is the progress made in agricultural regions, where bad news is the exception.
 No change is reported in the iron and steel situation, former conditions mere ly becoming intensified by the threaten ed decrease in supplies of fuel and the labor controversies i'll certain branches of the industry. With stocks utterly inadequate to meet requirements, it does not help matters to curtail produc- tion. Yet this seems unavoidable.
 Quiet conditions have prevailed i'll the cereal markets, with only a mod crate volume of option transactions and fractional changes in quotation.

NO SIGNS OF THE END.
Dull Times Around Miners Strike
 Headquarters.


 WILKESBARRE, Pa, May 24-It is extremely dull around the miners strike headquarters. Not since the sus- pension began week ago last Monday has the like been seen. The three dis trict presidents, Messrs. Nichols, Duffy and Fahy, held long conference with National President Mitchell yesterday, after which the three district leaders departed for their homes. As in the case of most of the conferences that have been held, the nature of the dis cussion was not divulged President Mitchell had no information to impart upon any phase of the situation. He said he had received no communica- tions or overtures from any one that could ill any way be construed as bear ing on q settlement of the difficulty
 Senator Hanna's name is invariably connected with every rumor that is telegraphed or telephoned to headquar- ters for yerifcation.
 The only information received from the operators side during the last twenty-four hours is the announcement -hat the receivers of the Paddock Coal company, an individual concern, had instructed the company's superintend- ent to grant the demand of the engi- neers, firemen and pump runners to take effect June 2, the date fixed by the union for the inauguration of the strike of this class of employees. The company operates the Dodson colliery at Plymouth and the Black Diamond at Luzerne. About fifty men are af- fected.
 President Mitchell is keeping a sharp watch on the shipment of bituminous coal. He denies q published report that there is an unprecedented move ment of soft coal into the anthracite territory.
 l.. NJ. Beatty of Barhill, O., miner employed by the Aidvale and Goshen Coal company, was one of MT. Mitch elpS callers. He came east at the in- stance of his employers to get 150 strik- ing anthracite miners to go to the com pany's Wainwright mines, on the Cleve- land, Lorraine and Wheeling railway. in Ohio, where steady employment will be given them. Soft coal miners are scarce.

Hanna Doubts Soft Coal strike

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Senator Hanna has returned from q visit to Philadelphia, where he went to attend social function and not to arrange matters connected with the coal min erS' strike. Senator Hanna says he does not believe the organizations of the United Mine Workers in the bitu- minous districts of western Pennsylva- nia, Ohio, Maryland and Illinois will strike because they are working under contracts which give them what is to B large extent demanded by the anthra cite miners and which the anthracite operators will not agree to. Further more the coal produced by these mines, he says, can supply the place of the anthracite coal only to q limited extent. Tn the states named scale is agreed on every year. Eight hours is days work. This year i'll April an agreement was made, and Senator Hanna does not believe that strike will be ordered simply to create q scarcity in places other than those supplied by the an thracite mines.
