THE Philadelphia Ledger and the
Philadelphia Times have been con-
solidated under the name of the Public
Ledger and The Philadelphia Times
The move has not been a surprise TO
the newspaper fraternity for ever
since Mr.. Adolph S. Ochs owner OF the
Times purchased the Ledger, 1t was
considered a natural move to consolid-
ate the papers.
The Times ceased as a separate
publication after Mondays issue.
The editor-in-chief of the combined
papers is to be L. Clark Davis, OF the
Ledoer. with DR.. A. c. Lambdin, OF
the Times, as his associate. George W.
Ochs will be general manager OF the
consolidated properties. Almost sim
infamous with the above, comes the
announcement that the Philadelphia
Press has lowered its price from two
cents a copy to a penny. All OF tn
leading Philadelphia dailies, including
the Ledger- Times, are now selling
for a cent.

The WIRING. Of saffron.

To the virtues of saffron whole vol
umes have been devoted, references to
some Of the more important of which
are given in Canon Ellacombe's "Plant
Lore and Garden Craft of Shake
sDeare," where there is a long article
on the subject. The plant was chiefly
used for diseases of the lungs, whence
came it's title of Anima polmonum; for
assisting the eruption of measles,
smallpox, etc. Qn measles it is still oc-
casionally prescribe0; as a cardiac
and general stimulant, and as a diges-
tive and strengthener of the stomach.
To this last (supposed) virtue its use
in "meats" is due Lyte says that so
taken it "comforteth the stomacke
and causeth good digestion, and sod
den In wine it preserveth from dronk-
ennesse." 1t was also used as love
philter and still enters largely into
some popular recipes for making up
| horses.
The most extravagant notions Of its
powers were formerly held and some
old writers went so far as to term il
the king of vegetables. Even so late
as the middle Of the last century i
held a prominent place in our ofiicia
dispensatories, but it has now come t.
be used only as a coloring and flavor
ing agent being incidentally aimos
inert, its property (such as it is) beini
mildly stimulative.-Notes and Que

DESPITE superstition and evil proph-
ecv. King Edward is the crowned
monarch of the British Empire. He
has passed through ceremony, medl-
aeval. even barbaric in some OF Its
splendor, unscathed and apparently
without physical detriment. The King
was crowned at 12. 80 p. M, Saturday.
The news of the crowning was an
nounced by an official outside the Abb
bey. 1t was repeated by signal through
London and was received with cheers,
which spread throughout the stands
and crowds far up the streets, as the
bells pealed joyfully. The Queen
was crowned at 1856 p. m. As their
Maiesties we're leaving the Abbey rain
commenced to fall, and they returned
and deferred their departure until the
rain ceased. They left at 200 p. m.
The coronation reioicings have been
on a very different scale from what
was Anticipated six weeks ago, yet
from every point of view Saturday
celebration has been worthy OF the
greatest empire in the worlds history
About half million people probably
participated in London's tribute to th'
Sovereign, and their loyalty and en-
thusiasm typified the deepest feellng
, of the great mass of King Edward
, subjects.
q AS for the majestic ceremonial a
t Westminster Abbey, its slight cur
o tailment served but to add to its In
< pressive character. Nothing wa
3 lacking from the original design say
r the presence of few special envoy
Y from abroad, and none who witnesSe
r the matchless scene in that histor
q theatre of kingly dramas could wis
l. for anything more imposing, mo-
IS memorable, more worthy of the gre
te traditions of the British Empire
