DEFlES STORMY SEAS.
What Captain DonViG Claims For
His New LifcbOat.

His New LifcbOat.
The newest addition to apparatus de
signed for saving life at sea, which has
just been tested at Dover, England is
said to fulfill all the claims made for it
by its builder, Captain Donvig, a Nor
wegian inventor.
The new boat is Slobular in shape
and will accommodate twenty persons
and provisions for thirty days. Water
is carried in four tanks inside the dou
bic bottom. Two watertight manhoies
in the crown of the craft furnish means

which is set in the top acts not only as
an air shaft but also as mast. to
which a sail can be attached when the
wind is favorable
Captain Donvig claims, besides ex-
treme seaworthness, that the boat can
not be sucked down by sinking ship,
as so often happens with ordinary
boats. He also says that it cannot be
capsized and with manholes closed can
live through the most severe storm.
The inventor intends to wait until a
big winter storm strikes the English
coast, when he will further test the
craft under the most severe conditions
possible.

Cavalry follow, music, and distin-
guished officers. The Yeoman Prick

Then, in the great state carriage of
glass, drawn by eight cream colored
horses, come the king and queen,
seated so high that all can see them,
and they are followed by the Royal
Archer Guard of Scotland and many
cavalry.
Along the coronation route to
Westminster Abbey they ride, when
they enter and dispose themselves in
the order to which their rank enti-
ties them.
When Queen Victoria was crowned
this was the order, which is pretty
closely followed by King Edward.
The clergy headed the procession,
followed by heralds and households

state, then the Duchess of Cambridge,

train borne by a lady. After her the

RegaIia Used
at Coronation

The regalia used at the coronation
Of King Edward VII are of compare
lively modern construction. None OF
them. with possibly two somewhat
doubtful exceptions, can date further
back than the year 1861
The old regalia, which were smashed
to pieces by the emissaries of the Long
Parliament in 1649, included, among
other things, an ancient crown origi-
nally worn by King Alfred the Great
and employed at the coronation of all
subsequent monarchs. There were
also the chalice of St Edward the
Confessor and the crown OF Queen
Edith, his wife.
When the Restoration had become
an accomplished fact it became neces-
Sary to replace the destroyed crown
jewels. An order was given to Sir
Robert Vyner, celebrated goldsmith,
afteEYard Lord Mayor of London, to
manufacture other crowns, scepters,
ETC., which were so far as possible to
be constructed upon the model of the
original regalia Of England. These,
then, are the regalia which is en-
p1oyed at the coronation of King Ed
ward VII. and Queen Alexandra.
It falls to the lot of the king to wear
two crowns. When ae first enters

known as his cap of estate. The ser.

Or. Hepworth's Good Work.

DR.. Hepworth, who died a few days
ago, was a preacher in Boston at the
time of Lincoln's assassination by
John Wilkes Booth. At once a hue
and cry arose against Edwin Booth,
and Mr.. Hepworth, with voice and pen,
denounced any such action, stating on
his personal knowledge that Edwin
Booth was a loyal man, an excellent
citizen and an ardent admirer of Lin
coin, for whom he had voted twice.
These utterances and writings more
than anything else perhaps stemmed
the tide of unreasoning denunciation.

Not infrequently a young woman
finds it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home ser
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tons for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they Will

them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the IRON
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist Is
ironed it should be we'll aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

The Oldest Enlisted Man.

There is now before congress bill
asking that "the Oldest enlisted man
on the rolls of the army" be promoted
to the rank of second lieutenant in
order that he may be retired on a
larger pension than he would receive
otherwise. The man is tos be discov-

Each of several veterans think that
the bill Is pointed in his direction. One
of them, James Condor, in 1888, enlist

years old For forty-seven years he

vantage of the retirement law. His

taken the coronation oath he is con-
Quoted, still bareheaded to the his
toric chair of King Edward.
Here the crown of England, or, as
it is technically termed, the crown OF
ST. Edward, is placed upon his head by
the Archbishop of Canterbury. 1t has
been worn by the last nine soVereigns
of England in succession. 1t consists
of a circle or rim of gold covering q
cap of crimson velvet turned up with
ermine. The circle is profusely adorn-
ed with precious stones-diamonds,
rubies, emeralds, sapphires and pearls.
Above the circle there rises two
arches crossed, and Surmounted at the
center by a great mound of gold.
Above this mound stands what is
known as a gold cross-patee, which is
itself magnificently adorned, notably
with three large oval drop pearls.
The king continues to wear this
crown to the end of the coronation
service. AS soon as the final benedic-
tion has been PRONOUNCED by the arch
bishop he retires into the adjoining
chapel of ST. Edward the Confessor
behind the high altar. Here the crown
of England is removed and in its place
there is substituted the crown Of state.

commonly called Queen Victoria's. is
