LADY MARY MANWARING TELLS OF CORONATION DURBAR IN INDIA

some pieces of special design, and in cer- tain instances Indian gold and Indian gems are being used. In each instance the Morocco cases in which the gifts are to be placed will bear inscriptions in gold. setting forth the occasion. These gifts will most be reserved for distribution at their majesties pleasure after arrival. but in some instances their destination will be dpecided upon beforehand.
 The King and Queen will take with them all the national orders for their own use As they will pay no visits to other potentates in the course. of the voyage they will not need any foreign orders. An ample supply of insignia of the Indian orders will be taken out, and there will bo an investiture at which the available members of each order will be present with all the ensigns of chivalry. There is to be very large distribution of the Kalser-i-Hind medal, and also of the im- perial service order. In addition to all these there will be special Indian coro- nation medal, which will be received by all and sundry who render any service in connection with the pageantry.
 Many Americans have signified their in- tention of going to India for the Dunbar.
 Memories of the Indian mutiny are re- called by the death of the Dowaeer Lady Outram, which occurred recently. Her ladyship was 99 at the time of her de-. cease. Born Margaret Clementina An- derson, she married, in 1895. her cousin, Sir James Outram, the great Indian sol dier, whom Napier christened the 'Bay,rd of India for his chivalry. and she was one of the last survivors of that noble band of Enslishwomen who passed through the horrors of the Indian mutiny.

The Kaiser wears a treasured ring, handed down from the father of Fred erick the Great. the stone of which was. according to curious tradition, depos- ited in the bedroom of the Elector John of Bradenburg by a toad one night; and the late Ameer of Afghanistan also at- tributed all .his good fortune to a magic ring which he wore, and declared that it alone brought to naught all the malevo- lent schemes of his enemies so that he lived to a comparatively good age.
 A son and heir has been born to Lord and Lady Lovat, which makes joyful event in the Highlands. The young mother was a lovely bride of last year, and has the charm and wit that one as sociates with a daughter of Lord Ribbles- dale. Lord Lovat is Scotch peerhead, of the great Fraser clan.

He belongs to the quiet, unassuming set of people who often do more than their pushful neighbors. When he arose iurhis place in the house Of lords few years ago to speak upon South Africa he was described as "a slender young gentleman who leant upon a stielx' :; but when he sat down half an hour later it seemed evident that the captain of Lovat's house would prove force to be reckoned. @3
 Since those days he has struck out a new line, and is now the owner of land in South Africa, which has been stocked with Scotch cattle and is farined by Scotch farmers. Lord Lovat is one of the finest shots in Great Britain, and what he does not know about gunnery is not worth knowing. On one occasion he made a record bag of 7sh brace of grouse to his own gun--a feat that has seldom or never been euualled.

When it broke out her husband, Sir James Outram was absent in cor.mand of the British expedition to Persia, She had to flee with only her clothes. in which she stood, and made her way through the mutineers to Agra. Here the English ladies had to take refuge in the. fort, with a mere handful of men to protect them. But the courage of woman was never
 more gallantly displayed than amid the
 miseries of this Imprisonment, and the
 anxiety of the long wait for the rein-
 forcements. Lady Outram retaiped her
 faculties to the last, though She had
 been in failing health for some months
 Her memory was extraordinary and GOV cred six reigns.
 It was not a little strange to find dur
 ing the recent coronation ceremonies hardly any reference to the romantic his tory of the famous coronation ring. The best credited of all the stories con cerning the latter is to the effect that King Edward the Confessor bestowed one of his ordinary rings on an aged mendi- cant who begged aims in the street to en- able him to make the Journey to Jerusa- lem. Arrived in the Holy City, the bee- gar's story somehow came to the ears of St. John the Divine. who blessed the 1ewel, and bade the pilgrim return to his King. This was accordingly done, and the ring was afterwards carefully pre- served at the Confessors shrine at Vest minister. and the story painted on glass.

HOW TO SUCCEED
Depends Entirely on Superior
Merit and knowledge

During the last few years condit-
ions in all lines of business, even
professional life, have changed so
completely that every man is wax
| ing up TO the fact that in order to
win success he must specialize and
learn to do some one thing and do
1T well.
So 1t is with any article that Is
sold to the people. 1t must have gen.
uine merit or no amount of advertis-
ing will maintain the demand for the
article.
For many years we have watched
with much interest the remarkable re-
cord maintained by DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great Kidney, Liver

much confidence in 1t that they in

VERMONT SUGAR MAKERS
viii Make No Objection to the Cana
dian Product Coming In

Burlington, Feb. 27.-That Vermont
maple sugar producers will offer no
objection to the proposed reciprocity
treaty with Canada is the opinion Of
prominent dealers in this vicinity.
The farmers expect that reduction
from four to one cent pound on the
Canadian product will lower the
price of the home product slightly,
but they have little fear Of being UNI
able to compete with the coarser
grade from the Provinces.
Canadas sugar is used for blend
ing with cane and corn sugars and
is hardly considered a competitor
with the higher grades of the Yer
mont product. Being a coarser sug-
ar it is better fitted for blending and
commands a higher price with the
glucose manufacturers than Vermont
sugar.
