Kingston. f i | By, Brifish Nation. + On June 22nd King George V. will bo crowned in Westminster Abbey with all the quaint rites and élabor- aty ceremonials which, with the ex. ception of ceftain minor alterations have been religiously observed at the { coronation of every sovereign in Eng. land since the time of William the Conqueror. The ceremony is more splendid, elaborate, md emblematic { than in any other country of Europe. Every day for many weeks past the London newspapers have recorded the progress of the preparations for the supreme event, and announced fresh additions to the round of bri) liant functions -which will make Lon- don----usually sober and ahsorbed in business--the gayest capital inthe world this coming midsummer. Though the discontinuance of the banquet in Westminster Hall has. robbed the coronation of some pie- turesque feudal customs, the cere mouy in the Abbey-has been most { ! i ining to end i { jf to do with it?" I i i t jealously guarded in every detail of its impressive ritual. From begin. it is intensely symbolie; { the series of acts presenting the King {in his triple capacity of priest, soldier and civil magistrate, Each article of the regalia symbolizes one 'or other of these functions, all being summed up inthe crown itself --"the round and top of sovereignty." The richly-jewel- ed sceptre with the dove recalls' the peaceful days, of Edward after the ex. pulsiongsf the Danes, and the gloves are a reminder of his abolition of the Danepelt--a token that the King's hands should be moderate in . the taking of taxes. - The ¢oronation ring. of pure gold, with a magnificent ruby carved with & St. George's cross, and surrounded by dismends, typifies the marriage of the sovereign to his people, and has been - poetically called "England's wedding ring."' ' The ancinting with oll is traced back to the setting apart of the first King of Israel. The am. pulla, the vessel of pure gold in which" the consecrated 6il is contain- ed, is in the thape of an eagle with sutstretched wings, the being poured out of its beak. The spoon into which it" is poured is of silver, richly gilt, and #dorned on the han. d.e with four large pearls. The:e two articles, it is interesting to note, are supposed to be the sole relies of the ol original regalia of England demolish--} éd by the ruthless Cromwell at the time «of the Civil War. The existing emblems were made on the old mode's for the cerqonation The curtara; or sword of Mercy, is the principal one in dig nity of the three witich--are carried unsheathed bel the King. If has no point, its blunted blade being a token of mercy. The sword of Justice to the Spirituality, is pointed, but somewhat obtuse; and the sword of Justice to the Temporality is sharp pointed, The :eabbards of all three are covered with a rich brocaded tissue of cloth and studded with gilt ornaments... The sword of State is a two-handed weapon, with a seabbard of crimson velvet, decorated with gold plates --of the-toxal badges The orb, the symbol of dominion, which is placed in the King's hand immediately before the--erowning, is a ball of gold six inches in diameter; surmounted by a fine amethyst, which forms the pedestal of a cross ' THE QUEEN'S CROWN. of gold studded with precious stones, The right of holding the orb is. the sole prerogative of reigning kings and queens, a custom adopted by the early Saxon sovereigns "from the Roman emperors. An amusing stary is told of the late Queen Victoria, whe, it would seem, was not duly impressed by this great privilege When Lord John Thynne, who wa: acting for the Dean of Westminster at her coronatithi; presented the orb to the Queen, she saked: "What am 1 "Your Majesty is 16 lease. in your hand." arry it, if'you ar | Queen, "it is very "Am 1 said t heavy" i Legend and mysticism surround more than one object associated with the sncient ceremonial. The cofona- Yow ring, according to the "Golden Legend," was given by Edward the Confessor to a ar who asked alms of him. : #0 English pilgrims wm the Holy Legends Associated With | pw Land met an aged man who gave! them, the very ring, and asked them | to 'return it to the King and tell him | that the supposed beggar was none | other than St. John the Evangelist. | Anether quaint mediaeval story re- | counts how the anointing oil was! miraculously delivered to Thomas | Becket by the Virgin Mary. The ob-| jeet, however, to which most mystery | and interest attach is the coronation | stone, or "Stone of Destiny." in the | 'famous King Edward's chair, in| which the actual crowning takes! place. It was brought to London in | 1296 by Edward 1., from Beone in Scotland, where the Scottish kings had been erowned upon it for genera- tions. According to the legend, the stone is actually that on which the Patriarch Jacob pillowed his-head at hel. It was conveyed to Egypt, - Not long afterwards |, from whence it was brought to Spain by Gaethelus, the founder of the Scottish nation, finding its way after- wards to Irelahd, eventually to the church at Scone. On its removal to Westminster Abbey, Edward had the 'present chair made to receive it, apd dedicated it to the Confessor, and since then every English sove- reign has been crowned in the his- toric seat, which is richly draped for the occasion. The chair known as Queen Mary's chair, which was made for Mary Ir and in which the third sovereign of | that name is about to be crowned, is | a close imitation gf its ancient con-! sort. On one occafion this royal seat | was usurped by a schoolboy, who secreted himself over. | night .in the Abbey, and scratched on | the back of it this brief record of his| temerity: ""P. Abbott slept in this chair, July, 1800." The vestments which the King will put on affer the ceremony of anoint- ing will consist of: (1) The colobium sindlonie, a 'simple lawn garment; (2) the supertunica or dalmatic, a long coat of cloth of gold, with wide sieeves; (3) the- armilia, or stole, a band of cloth ¢f gold three inches wide, and (4) the imperial mantle or IMPERIAL ORBS AND SCEPTERS. pall, resembling a cope, and fastening in front with a morse or clasp. Kin George will "not wear the imperia mantle used by the late King, as was his first intention, having been given by Lord Ancaster, whose great-grand- father, Lord Gwydyr, was formerly Lord Great Chamberlain, the vest. ment of singular beauty and richness worn by George IV., whose ocorona- tion exceeded all others in magnifi. cence and cost no less than $1215.- 000. The garment is of the finest cloth of gold, and a beautiful example of the handloom industry of the Spitalfields weavers. Into its ser. vice are woven. the es. of the three kingdoms of England, Scotland; and Ireland The interior will represent a baron. ial hall, with its timbered roof sup- ported by wooden pillars and arched beams, and 'its walls covered with tapestries and arms. The at car- pet, which will stretch from the west door right up to the dais, or "theatre," on which the King will sit enthroped after "he: hag been crowned, is woven in two shadis of blue, the foundation being of royal blue, on which are embléms of the noble prders and the initials "G. and MM." surmounted by-a crown. The design ir no less than 42 feet in length. On the "theatre" itself and in the royal Boxes the carpet is to. have no désign, ing of 2 plain royal blue. For the seating of the vast and 'brilliint company, chairs of Chippendale pattern, upholstered in silk,' will be provided throtighout the Abbey ai the evening = préceding the coronation, the regalia will be ocon- veyed from the Tower to the Jerusa- lem Chamber of the Abbey, and left in charge of the Dean of Westminster, being clesely guarded all through the night by the picturesque Yeomen of the Guard. "Early next morning they will be laid on a table in the vesti. bule, so as to be distributed. to those privilege persons who carry them di. rectly before the princes of the blood foysl, who precede the King in the procession up the aisle.

Friends were found who sympathiz- ed. and one invested a small capital-- about $25,000--in William Booth"s in. terest. It is from the income this sum brings in that the general has brought up his family, and at present tar from the same soures. - He does not draw a single penny from the funds of the army, merely receivisg his tra- veling expenses from that sourée. The original canital returns to the friend who invested it on the general's death. . Racing to the South Pole. Captain Scott has a rival in his dash to the South Pole in the person of Captain Amundsen, the famous Norwegian explorer, the first man "to sccomplish the navigation of the Northwest Passage. It is in connec. tion with the latter expedition that the captain tells an amusing Eskimo story. Having lost several dogs. Cap- tain Amundsen, in his best Eskimo, intimated his desire to purchase one from a certain tribe To his suprise, however, the request was promptly refused. An explanation was manded, and the man applied to re. turned next day. with a chubby, laughing boy on his back. "Such we donot soil," said the native. The explorer was astonished; something was wrong. "You wished to purchase one," said the man, seeing Captain | Amundsen's pérplexity. Finally, it wos discovered that the Greenlandic term for "dog" was equivalent "child" in the Netchillie language Electrical Tree. There is a peculiar tree in the for. ests of Central India which has most curious. characteristics. The, leaves of th: tree are of a highly sensitive nature and so full of electricity that whoever touches one of them receives an electric shock.

The recent British 'expeditions had been warmly welcom- ed, and the results had been regarded as eminently satisfactory. But be- cause the Rosesia area was more con- veniently situated to the south geo- graphic pole, most expeditions to the Australian quadrant had winteved there. This had led to the neglect of the great coast line westward of Cape Adare, and information regarding it 's very fragmentary and for the most part unreliable. Properly equipped, an expedition to that region should have no difficulty in achieving great geographical successes, for the fact that t ill-found sailing ships of Wilkes, D'Urville, and Ballery achieved a considerable measure of success was evidence enough of the practicability of nevigation along this coast' line. : Alive to the value of scientific data lected, he had ardently sought for an opportunity to reap the harvest. The enthusiasm with which Australia and New Zealand had always followed Antarctic research, and their growing resources, led him to decide on an expedition chiefly supported by those colonies, and the proposal had re. ceived the support of the Australa. sian Association for the Advancement of Science. The exigences of the equipment and the need of further suppord had brought him to London, and he took advantage of the oppor- tunity of explaining his propaganda. Australian and New Zealand types, he went on, showed 'a remarkable af- | finity with those of South America and South Africa, to the casual ob- server ghe most noticeable being with regard to birds and animals. Fossil and Australia, and the evidence con- firmed the theory of connection be tween the southern lands by way of Antartica, the opinion being confirmed in the minds of scientific men that in the not long (geologically) past there existed a habitable Antarctic contin. | ent, with rays stretching up to meet with 'what are now Tasmania, South America, New Zealand, and South. Al | rica. To the south of Australia, where now is ocean, were highlands, providing an abundance of material, shed northward into what were then lowlands and marine areas. Volcanic: activity on a large scale, remaining seven to the present day, in isolated spots, attended the separa. tion cfsthese land masses. Finally; an icesage of almost unprecedented severity overwhelmed the residual Antarctic continent, and swept every; trace of life imo the southern ocean. Proceeding to1discuss the plans of the Australian.expedition, Dr. Maw- 82 said: "Briefly, we hope to have a complement of 50 men--ship and land party--and proceed south from Australia about the close of this year. Practically, every member of the land party; will besa specialist in. a particular "branch of science. Most of the recruiting will be amongst the graduates of the' universities of Aus- tralia and New Zealand. It is our intention: to land' several parties, with stores and huts, to winter between Cape Adare and*Gauss Berg, and the ship will.return to 'Australia and New Zealand for the winter, though not remaming-idle.: "It is our 'special desire fo accomplish a complete coast survey } between the two points men- tioned, «and complete the magnetic chartings of 'the region. .north of the mmgnetic * pole. The several wintering)stations will simultaneously either hand, thus dividing up the task. A special journey will be made inland iromgpour main base on the north coast" to the south magnetic | pole, thus completing in conjunction | with the former journey'in which | participated the crossing of that cox- ner of Souths Victoria Land. For the rest, withoutsentering into details, I may say that mo branch of science willl bes neglected." Left 'Their 'Tails Behind Them. The following story is told of Dr. Arnold of Regby, England: One night the great doctor went for a stroll in the grounds after the boys jof the sohool had retired to rest, and all were supposed to be snug in bed. i To the doctor's:surprise, a boy eross- ed the terrace where he stood, made to a certain window, and began to climb up fto it. - The good doctor grasped the boy by one of his coat- tails, jut fhe boy escaped by leav. ing the at-tail - in the doctor's hands. : The doetbr said to himself, 'Well, I'll know who jt is in the morning, for hé.wilk have but one tail to his coat." But.nthe morning, when the school assembled, to his astonishment the whole of tthe boys marched past him with onestail on. They had all torn a tail from their coat. § ------------ ThetGrowth of English. "Thererare now 400,000 words in the Englishv dictionary, exclusive of for. eign languages.
