Angels Were Moulting.

The late Rev. Charles Ward, at
one time pastor of Saint Stephens P.
E. Church, Philadelphia, was once
called to parish at Plainfield, N. j.,
where, after organizing his Sunday
school, he invited the rector emeritus
of the church to address the pupils.
The old gentleman came, and after a
fatherly talk to the children, said:
Nov, little friends, If any of you
would like to ask any questions about
the Scriptures I will be pleased to
answer them"
Up went the hand Of wee miss of
six, who asked:
IF the angels had wings, why did
they walk up and down Jacobs lad
der?"
This was puzzler, but he extricat-
ed himself very cleverly by remark
ing:
Nov, perhaps some other little
boy or girl has thought over that mat
ter, and can give an answer"
Cup went the hand of little urchin
of seven, whose father was bird
fancier.
"Well, sonny, why was it?"
"Cause they was amounting" re-
piled the boy.

Coronation Ceremonies
of King Edward VII

BE thou anointed with holy oil, as
kings, priests and prophets were
anointed. And as Solomon was
anointed king by Zadok, the priest.
and Nathan the prophet, SO be you
anointed, blessed, and consecrated
king over this people, whom the Lord
your God hath given you to rule and
govern, in the name of the Father and
Of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen"
The spurs are then presented to
the king by the lord chamberlain, and
the sword of state by Lord Salisbury,
who, however, according to custom,
redeems ut with hundred shillings."

WAS 1T A NEW EXPERIENCE?
Tale of Strange Happening to Party
of Literary Men.

Sir Wemyss Reds new biography
on William Black, the novelist, recalls
an amusing story of Blacks visit to
America which has never before ap-
peared in print. 1t concerns Mr..
Black and three literary men, who
as they are still living, we shall desig-
nate as Messrs. A., B. and C. 1t seems
that Black and this interesting trio
were having a quiet afternoon at
poker, into the mysteries of which
Black desired to be initiated. An ac-
compartment to the game, merely for
purposes of accuracy in local color,
was bottle of fine old whisky, which
Black had provided, with pride in its
high merit. This bottle now becomes
at once the hero and william of the
story; for it was so old, and had so
long been undisturbed that the fusel.
oil had collected at the top in deadly
strength. All Of the party drank
lightly, but the consequences were
so unfortunate that one of the liter.
airy gentlemen retired and went to
bed, and another very abstemious
man, assembled the staircase of his
own home on his hands and knees,
and when his astounded wife inquired
what was the matter, amiably replied.
"M'dear, l wish they wouldn't take the
banisters off the stairs. Why do they
do it, m'dear?" When the four friends
met later and compared notes, their
experiences were found to be singu.
larly alike, and, the trouble being ex.
planned, Black laughingly apologized
for his unintentionally dangerous hos.
pitality.

west side of the theater, the sover-
eign standing all the while, and turn
ing to the sides of the stage as the
archbishop severally asks the ques-
ton. At every repetition there is an
answering volley Of cheering from
those present, and with the last round
of acclamations the trumpets sound
and the drums beat. The king then
advances to the altar, and kneeling
upon the crimson velvet cushion,
makes his first offering, an altar cloth
of gold, which the archbishop places
upon the altar. An ingot Of gold, of
one pound in weight, is then placed in
the kings hands by the lord great
chamberlain, and the sovereign in
turn delivers II to the archbishop who
places it in the oblation basket. After
a short prayer the latter takes the
regalia from the great mobiles gather
ed round the king, and these, save
the lord chamberlain, then retire to
their respective places, leaving His
Majesty alone. The Litany and Com
munion Service sre then read, and
the sermon preached.
Once more the solemnities of the
coronation proper re-commence. At
the conclusion of the sermon "the
oath" is administered to the king,
who all this time has worn the cap

His Majesty, King Edward VII, or,
according to his proper title, "the
King" accompanied by the Queen
Consort, reaches the western en-
trance of Westminster Abbey shortly
after eleven o'clock on the morning
Of the coronation. There he was re-
ceived by the great officers of state,
the noblemen bearing the regalia, the
bishops carrying the patina Tor broad.

robes of crimson velvet furred with

peals the first notes of the anthem Il

grand procession enters the choir,
headed by the prebendaries and Dean
of Westminster.
After the abbey clergy come the
officers of both royal households, the
Archbishop of York, the lord chancel-
lor, and the Archbishop of Canter-
bury. The last named, indeed, imme-
diately precedes the Queen Consort's
regalia, and Queen Alexandra herself,
who is followed by the princesses of
the blood royal; and apart from the
monarch and Her Majesty, he has by
far the most important part in the

UNIQUE AND VALUABLE PIPE.
Made From Root Of Hist>ric Tree, and
Wonderfully Carved.

Wonderfully Carved.
M. N. Silver of Philadelphia is the
proud possessor what is considered
the most unique pipe in existence. OBJ
viously 1t is the most remarkable for
the workmanship and skill which
were displayed in carving it.
In 1861, almost fifty years ago, j..
Stone of Trappe, Chester county,
which is near Washington's headquar'
ter's at Valley Forge came across a
wonderfully shaped piece of wood.
1t was about six feet long and was ,
root from one of the historic trees OF
Valley Forge. The root took his fancy
and an idea entered his mind that 1t
would make valuable historical relic
If placed in carver's hands and cary.
ed as he directed. But he never car.
ried out his intentions and eventually
the historic root came into the hands
Of Mr.. Silver, who had his own ideas
regarding carving. AS result 1t was
made into bunch of pipes and cigar
holders, many in one, although he
calls it pipe.
The work on this pipe took 1924
hours, and If reckoned at twenty
cents per hour, the pipe cost him
about $500, not considering what was
paid for it in the original transaction
Mr.. Silver has had many offers for
the pipe, but has declined them all,
the largest amount offered being $500.
He expects to place 1t in the Carnegie
museum at Pittsburg, If the negotia-
tons which are going on turn out
right.
The exterior of the pipe is carved
out in many faces of grotesque express
sions, which give it very odd ap-
pearance. 1t has quite a number of
large trap doors, from which when
opened, figures made Of wood spring
out. 1t has many receptacles for hold
ing tobacco, and quite number OF
men can smoke at the same time, for
the interior is composed of hby-
ninth of small pipes and tubes. The
smoke is pleasant by the time 1t
reaches the mouth, says the Philadel.
phia Inquirer, losing the hot, burning
sensation, and at the same time de-
posting the nicotine inside the pipe.

loud and enthusiastic cry of "God
Save the King!" from every part OF
the sacred building. At that moment
too, the peers put on their coronets
the bishops their caps, and the kings
alarms their crowns. The benedic
ton is then delivered by the arch
bishop, and the TIE Deum sung by the
choir. At the commencement of the
TIE Deum the king returns to the
chair which he first occupied, but IL
at once "enthroned" or lifted" into
the chair of homage by archbishops
bishops and peers surrounding His
Majesty, who then at once receives
the tender of fealty from the arch
bishops and bishops and the homage
and fealty from such princes of the
blood as are also peers, and from thu
premier peer of each rank for the peel
of the same order, each In succession
taking off his coronet, ascending the
throne, kissing, or seeming to kiss The
sovereign on the left cheek, ant
touching the crown to signify that HI
is one of its supporters. While HON
age is performed the coronation
medals are thrown among the peopl,
from the three sides of the theater BY
the treasurer of the household, at
tended by the garter king-at-arms
and the usher of the black rod.

the declaration, which is read to him
from a parchment roll, he repeating it
after the archbishop. A silver stand
ish is then brought, and the king sub
scribes his name to it, on the top of
his desk or faldstool. The archbishop
then administers the coronation oath,
mostly in the form Of questions-the
most important of which is this:
Archbishop-Will you solemnly
promise and swear to govern the peo-
pie Of this United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, and the domi-
mons thereunto belonging, according
to the statutes in. parliament agreed
on and the respective laws and GUS
toms of the same?
Sovereign solemnly promise so
to do.
The sovereign then approaches the
altar, and, laying his hand upon the
Gospels, takes the following oath:
''The things which have here
before promised l will perform and
keep, so help me God" He then kisses
the book and signs the oath.
"The amounting" is the next part Of
the ceremony. After the king has
Knelt in private prayer while the
choir sings 'Veni, creator spiritus,"
His Majesty takes his seat in King
Edwards chair, four Knights Of the
Garter holding a rich cloth of gold
over his head. The Dean of West
minister takes the ampulla, or Golden
Eagle, in which the holy oil for
amounting the king is preserved, and
pours little of the oil into spoon.
The archbishop then anoints the SOW
ereign on the hands in the form Of =

days functions. Upon the Processes
follow the King Regnant's minor re-
galia-St. Edwards staff, the golden
spurs, the sceptre with the cross, and
the three swords. The princes Of the
blood royal will follow the regalia,
and in their train will come the Earl
Marshal of England (the Duke of Nor
folk, Lord Salisbury bearing the
sword of state, the Lord High Con-
stable Of England, the sceptre of the
dove, st. Edwards crown, borne by
the lord high steward, the orb, the pa
tina, the Bible, and the chalice, this
latter ornament being borne by the
Bishop of London. Then comes the
King attended by the Bishops of Bath
and Durham, and supported on each
side by ten gentlemen at arms with
their standard-bearer and lieutenant.
The king moves toward two chairs
placed midway between the chair Of
homage and the altar, and standing
on a carpeted space, which is called
"The Theater." After he is seated
her Majesty, the Queen Consort, takes
her seat in the second (and lower)
chair on his left hand, and the actual
ceremony begins. The solemnity
commences with the recognition of
the sovereign's right on the part of
the people. The Archbishop of Can
terbury advances and the sovereign
stands up. The archbishop then, turn
ing his face to the east, says as fol-
lows:
"Sir, here present unto you King
Edward VII, the undoubted king Of
this realm; wherefore. all you who
are come this day to do your homage,
are you willing to do the same7" This
