HER MAJESTY, ALEXANDRA. QUEEN OF GREAT BRITAIN.

Next will come the ceremonies which
caused SO much discussion, including the
presentation of the sword of state, the
standards and the spurs, and then the orb
will be placed in the kings right hand, he
will again be Invested of the crimson robe
and will be enveloped in a purple robe of
state, and the archbishop of Canterbury will
give the scepter to the king, while the lord
of the manor of worksop supports the kings
right hand and a ring is placed on his maj
esty's fourth finger.
The orb is a golden ball, six inches in
diameter and II inches high, including the
cross, which surmounts the orb. Diamonds,
rubies, emeralds, sapphires and pearls are
set in the orb; also, a fine amethyst, which
forms the pedestal of the cross. When the
crown is finally placed upon the monarch's
head, instantly all that great crowd of peers
and peeresses put on their glittering coro-
nets, and the abbey rings with God save
the King!"
According to official rules, in theory, the
coronets Of the nobility are never worn ex-
cept at the coronation of a sovereign, when
they are put on at the precise moment when
the primate ST England places the crown
upon the brow of the king. Upon occasions
OF state the coronet is carried before the
parsonage on a cushion, and at the funeral
it is placed on the coffin, or borne on a pur-
pie cushion.
The shouts of God save the King" are
caught up by the crowd outside, church
bells ring and cannon are fired, not only in
London, but in all chief towns. After a
Bible is given to the king a solemn tie deum
is chanted, and enforcement follows or

THE LARK'S NEST.

Footsore and travel-worn and faint,

Bronzed brows the morning sunlight

Had faced the battles storm and surge.

To greet the welcoming breezes fain,

occasion of the diamond jubilee in 1897, but
great as this undoubtedly was, it will be ex.
celled by the royal pageant to be carried out
June %.
The reception Of the king and queen by the
lord mayor will be suggestive of medieval
times. 1t is one of the ancient privileges of
the city of London to bar, if need be, even
the progress of a king into its wealthy do
main. Therefore, when the king and queen
ride in state along the Strand and reach the
law courts, a quaint little ceremony will be
gone through with stately solemnity ere the
royal cavalcade proceeds on its way,
At the spot where old Temple Bar used to
stand, but where now an inartistic monu-
ment nicknamed "The Griffin occupies the
center of the narrow roadway, the lord
mayor, with his mace bearer, his sword
bearer, and all the ~retinue of the Mansion
house, will await the coming Of royalty. 1t
may be that, with proper regard for effect,
a replica OF the ancient gates Of the city will
shut off Fleet street from the Strand in
much the same way as was done with such
striking effect when the late queen made
her triumphal entry into Dublin a year be-
fore her death. Whether this be so or not,
there will be a demand as to who comes
there on Debalf OF the representatives OF Cog
and Magog, and when it is made known that
it is their majesties, then the lord mayor
will ride bareheaded into the royal presence,
and as evidence of loyalty will hand to his
majesty the keys of the city. These, in due
course, will be handed back, and the lord
mayor will then lead the way down Fleet
street, past st. Paul's as far as the Mansion
house, where doubtless he will take leave OF
the royal party.
Another interesting ceremony will be the
cutting OF the first sod for the Queen Vic
toria memorial to be erected Immediately in
front of Buckingham palace. This will be
done by King Edward in the presence OF his
illustrious guests gathered from all parts of
the world. The happy idea Of beginning this
great national undertaking at the time of
the coronation originated with his majesty,
who rightly considers that the presence in
London of SO many foreign royalties and
diplomatic personages is an opportunity
that the nations of the world viii gladly
seize to pay a tribute to the memory of
Queen Victoria.

A CURIOSITY OF HEREDITY.
Children of Elderly Parents Develop
Into the Most Intelligent
Men and Women,

1t is one of the ~curiosities of hered.
ity that while the children of young
parents are usually brighter than the
children of old parents, the children
of old parents develop into the most in.
telligent men and A good IL
age races, which marry at a very early
age, with the white race, which is the
latest in marrying of all races.
Teachers among the negroes of the
south, in the Philippines, in Polynesia.
and in Australia tell us that the dark
skinned children in their schools are
brighter than the white children, yet
we never look for great men among
these races, and we would not find
them if we did look, says the Chicago
Evening Post.
All of the great men of the world,
like Aristotle, Bacon, Cuvier and
Franklin, have been o II of very old
men. When eminent men like King
David, the Catos of Rome, the elder
William Pitt, and certain branches OF
the Dana, Lee, and Livingston fam
lilies of America have sons late in life,
the eminence is continued to the next
generation, but when eminent men like
Arkwright, Bulwer-Lytton, Coleridge,
Cromwell, Peter the Great, and Solo
mon have sons in early life, the emf
hence Immediately disappears.
Another good illustration may be
found in the British nobility. Each
noble family begins with an eminent
man, and the noble branch S continued
down through the eldest son. 1t has
been a frequently observed fact that
the eminence is very rarely continued
to the third generation, and usually
disappears in the second. It is true
that eminent men have been produced
in these noble families, but during the
800 years in which the law Of primo.
geniture has been in force every such
case has come about through some ac-
cident which has eliminated the eldest
of the eldest and has brought in some
younger branch to inherit the title.
The conclusion to be drawn from this
is that young men should not marry
before they areas. Neither should thsy
remain old bachelors beyond 30. Uu-
married people do not live as long az
married people, and no creature is 50
miserable as an old bachelor with reia,
lives.

THURSDAY, June &c, Edward
VII. will be crowned king of
w Great Rritain and ireland and

IAN THURSDAY, June 20, Edward
VII. will be crowned king of
~ Great Britain and Ireland and
emperor of India. All the machinery
of the government and the energies
of English political and social life
have for months been directed to-
wards perfecting arrangements for
this Unique event, which promises to
be the most splendid coronation in
the history of the United Kingdom.
thursday seems TO have been a
popular day for ~crownings. June 20
is the anniversary of the day on
which Oliver Cromwell was installed
rs lord protector in Westminster
hall. 1t is also notable that the fol-
lowing English monarchs have been
crowned on a Thursday: Stephen,
John, Richard H., William and Mary,
Queen Anne, George ~, William w.,
and Queen Victoria. That is a fair
collection of lucky and unlucky mon
archs, which makes it difficult for any
superstitious person to gather omens
for the day chosen.
Edward VII, the chief figure in the
grand event, was born November 9,
1871, and succeeded his mother Janu-
airy %, 1901. He was married to
Princess Alexandra of. Denmark
March 10, 1868. Their oldest living
son, George Frederick, prince OF
Wales, was born in 1865, and mar.
ried Princess May of Teck in 1893
The other living children of the royal
couple are Louise Victoria, duchess OF
Fife; Maud, Princess Charles of Den
mark, and Princess Victoria Alex
andra.

THE CORONATION SERVICE.
Official Form, ms Amended and APP

The form of the coronation service, as
finally amended and approved by the king,
consists of &c distinct sections.
The king and queen and their retinue will
form in procession at Buckingham palace.
They will enter the great west door Of West
minister abbey, where they will be welcomed
by the shouts of the kings scholars of
Westminster school and by the anthem, 81
was glad when they said unto me, We will
go to the house OF tne Lord"
Instead of going direct to their thrones
the royal pair will kneel in private prayer
on footstools in front OF their chairs. Then
the archbishop Of Canterbury, the lord
high chancellor, the lord great chamberlain
and the Garter King Of Arms, each in turn,
will formally present the king, the lords
carrying the regalia will step up and the
dean of Westminster will place the regalia
on the altar.
The abbreviated litany and part of the
communion service will follow.
Then the archbishop will recite the Nj.
Gene creed and the bishop of London will
preach a short sermon.
Just before the sermon the king, who up
to that stays of the ceremony will have been
uncovered, will put on a cap of crimson vel
vet trimmed with ermine.
Then comes the oath-taking, after which
the king will be anointcd.
Then the kings cap and crimson robe will
be removed and four Garter knights will
hold over him a rich pail of silk or cloth-of-
gold, the dean of Westminster will pour
holy oil into a spoon and the archbishop OF
Canterbury will anoint the king, making
the sign of the cross on the top of his maj.
esty's head, thus consecrating him king
over this people, v'hom the Lord your God
hath given you to rule and govern"
The king will then kneel and the dean
of Westminster will invest him with the
super ~tunica.

Thursday, June 20,

the words of homage and kiss his hand.
Princes OF the blood royal ascend the steps
of the throne, take off their coronets, re-
peat the homage, touch the crown upon the
kings head, and kiss his left cheek. The
peers of the realm follow suit, with the ex-
ception that they kiss the hand instead of
the cheek. The words of homage are:
Il do become your liege-man of life and
limb, and of earthly worship, and faith and
truth | will bear unto you to live and die
against all manner of folk, so help me, God"
When the act of homage is over, the mem
bers of the house of commons give nine
hearty cheers, with cries of God save the
King" repeated by all.
During homage medals are thrown to the
occupants of the choir and lower galleries.
