European Architecture In Japan.

European architecture is gradually
gaining foothold in Japan, and must
sooner or later dominate, just as Eu-
ropean styles Of dress are soon to DOM
mate, in the big cities. In Toxic and
other large centers of population all
the new business-houses are buist on
European plans. They are found to
be more practicable. The residences
are still of the japanese style. Some
of the larger and finer residences in
the cities are built like American
houses, but most stick to the old GUS
toms. The government does not own
its buildings, but rents them, and
these, without exception. are OF Euro
pean design. The Europeans and
Americans never stop at the Japanese
hotels, because they cannot do with
out chairs. The hotels have nothing
but couches.

ater company contributed to the wants
OF the child, and one of the actresses
conferred with persons in and out of
the profession as to what should be
done In her behalf.
A sum OF money was raised, and it
was determined to devote 1t to the care
and education of the girl. A promi-
nent woman OF the city in which the
theater company was located had a
daughter in boarding school under
church auspices in another city, and
gave the actress prominent in the care
of the homeless girl letter to the
women in charge of the school, which

for the child.
The letter was presented, and all
went well until the persons in charge
of the school learned that tae child's
mother had been an actress and that

stage. Upon this intelligence they re-
fused to admit her to the institution

use of his name in suits to oust other
book concerns unless they took out

one of the attorneys said that Nichols
had refused.

crown on the kings head. There was
absolute silence and then the moment
the crown touched the kings brow
everyone shouted loudly and well to-
gether, "God save the king" The
heralds blew their trumpets and out
side guns fred salute. At the same
moment the peers land the kings at
arms put on their own coronets.
The tumult of shouts lasted some
moments. When it had subsidized the
archbishop prayed and the choir sang
the following strain: "Be strong and
play the man; keep the commandments
of the Lord thy God and walk in his
ways"
Then when the king had been pre-
seuted with q bible and blessed by
the archbishop, the choir spiritedly
sang the re Deum, while the king re-
turned to the chair on the dais near
the throne.
After prayers aud thanksgiyings
the ceremony ended. The king and
queen were escorted through door
on the south side Of the altar into
King Honry's chapel, where they were
divested Of their coronation robos and
arrayed in robes of purple velvet.

the king and queen put on their crowns
and held scepters in their right hands.
The king carried an orb in his left
hand, while in her left hand the queen
held an ivory rod.
ON the way back, the procession
took the longer route through White
hall, Piccadilly and Constitution hill.
1t was the only occasion upon which
the general public could see the king
and queen wearing their crowns, and
they watched them with enormous in
