If.there was no other ob- ject in view than the making of an appeal to the Oriental love of lavish display, the vast expenditure neces- sitated by Coronation Durbars in India could not be defended. But, as iLord Curzon puts it, “they are I meant to be not a panorama or a Iprocession, but a landmark in the Iihistory of the people and a chapter Iin the ritual of the State." Thus Iviewed, not only is the absence of IKing George from Great Britain at this time amply justified, despite the Ecritical situation at home, but any Ireasonable outlay is defensible which will convince the Indians that the English are in their country to stay Iand will satisfy the longings of a lpeople, who know nothing of high I I ID I I I I I ‘ principles of government, or of writ- ten constitutions, but are accustom- ed to meet, face to face, those who hold authority over them. OIL BANISHED DUST. “Hardly second in interest to the Durbar itself," says Mr. Preston, "1' "was the work of preparation by the Public Works Department, the credit for which is largely due to Sir John Hewett, and there was no surprise when his name appeared prominently in the Durbar honor list. Not only was the laying out of the walks and , drives most beautiful, but the postal _and telegraphic arrangements, the inomenclatnre of the roads, lighting Ipolicing, etc., were carefully attended 3 to. By oiling the roads the dust nuis- fance was entirely prevented. Even a Igovernment dairy farm had been pro- Evided to ensure a proper supply of - ibutter and milk. As for means of Stransportation, one had a choice of I the ekkah, the jinkrisha, the tonga, . 3 the palanquin chair, or, if he be so .lucky, the motor car. Failing any of 'd the above, or all of them, a light railway ran throughout the vast enâ€" campment, and came measurably near every camp. 0n the big days the 9 leading thoroughfares were lined with . scldiers, whetncr the diminutive and WW” ~1+x~m+z~x~z~x~x~x~z~x~x~h 4. o 9’. ,. .2 â€"o â€"q were the pride of the Durber, as well as to procure the Royal equipages which they occupied during the State dark-skinned Gourkas, the Punjabs, the Sikhs, the Marathas, or a body of European troops. No matter how regarded, the plans for the proper carrying out of the Durbar were a wonderful illustration of the capacity I of the British for organization. 3 GREAT TAX ON THEIR MAJES-i TIES. ‘ “There was no considerable func- tion in connection with the Durbar program which was not carefully re- hearsed beforehand, usually in the mornings, and as early as 5 o'clock, the campers were often awakened by the music{of the bands as they led the soldiers-to this work. For the largerfunctions it was necessary for the spectators to start about two hours in advance of the advertised hour for beginning in order to make sure of getting through the crowded thoroughfares in time.

Mr. 'Pickard “There were busy days during the entire visit of Royalty. Morning. at- ternoon and evening seemed to be fully occupied with functions of one kind or another and when there was no other excitement polo and box ing matches filled in the blanks. How their Majesties outlived it all is a marvel." WHERE‘ S THE KING As to the entrance into Delhi, the Bulletin, a local paper, said: “The King rode from Selimszarh' Station to his camp on horseback, the centre of a fine cavalade. but on} entering Chandoi Chowk, his stafi crowded in upon him and he passed by unrecognized and unnoticed. There was not a cheer, because nobody knew that he was passing. .‘lost people thought that the strains of the National Anthem were in n _.. ‘of Queen Mary, who was bowing to the right and left to a silent :rowd. Where is the King ? Padasha Kah m hai ? asked European and Indian 5-! (1 they were all surprised and disgusted to find that he had gone before they had seen and cheered him." "This apparent handicap.” says Mr. Preston, “was forgotten after the Durbar itself. and especially af- ter the people's fete on the foliow'uz day. when their majesties occupied alone the “glory" throne, and worn: viewed and cheered by hundreds of thousands of their Indian subjects." CHILDREN’S SHELTER FOR THE COUNTY Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the Children's Aid Society was held in the council chamber at which ar- rangements were made for special services to be held in the town churches the coming Sunday. Mr. J. J. Kelso will speak at'the Cam- bridge street Methodist church in the morning and St. Andrew’s at the ev- ening service, after which he will give an illustrated address in the Academy 01 Music on “A Wait." This meeting will not commence until the evening church services are over. The Queen street Methodist chuech pulpit will be occupied in the morning and the Baptist in the evening by Rev. Hugh Ferguson, Stratford. THE OBJECT Of these special services is to inten- sify the interest of the people of ‘this distrist in the work of the Children’s Aid Society and start a campaign for the erection of a Chil- dren's Shelter for Victoria County. IThe object of the Sunday evening Imass meeting is to awaken the inter- est rather than to raise money.

This he explains by the fact that the greatest propor- tion of the fish is caught near Prince Rupert and thence has to be taken to Vancouver and Seattle for ship- ment. The establishment will give em- ployment to 500 men, none of whom will be Japanese. White men and Inâ€" dians only will be employed.

It is a peevish ruin which mak- e: its lair in the cellars of plain {maple and contributes to the horror of winter by declining to give forth heat in av-blizzard because the chim- ney wasn't manicured inside during the autumn. The furnace is composed of a. large cracked firebox surrounded by a sheet iron hOgshesd. It is operated by a system of checks and drafts, al- though one may, of course, pay cash and get just as good results. It is connected with the various rooms in the house by large tin pipes, which serve to transmit cuss words from the cellar to the upstairs, and it is connected with the chimney by a pipe which serves to transmit heat into you high heaven. When‘ a furnace is working vigorously, a stratum or stream of warm air a mile high over the house is sometimes produced. Thus the furnace is the sparrow's friend. but until some means of lo- cating the living room directly ovee the house is devised, it will not be doing its full duty towards humanâ€" ity. The hot air furnace is so named from the manner in which it is sold. We are led to believe, when buying a.

ANDREWS CHURCH GRATIFYING REPORTS WERE PRESENTED No. 13 furnace on an E. last. that it will readily heat a nine roomed house so thoroughly that a coat and vest will be entirely superfluous even on the front porch. This is only parâ€" tially true. Che furnace will not heat the house by means of the pipes and registers, but if sufficiently flattered and encouraged, it will eventually ig- nite the floors and make everything lovely and warm until the fire de- partment arrives. A furnace can be easily operated during the winter by one man if he makes arrangements to have his meals brought down cellar to him. By shovelling your spring overcoat, your club dues, your summer \aca- tion and your winter's theatre ticku ets into the furnace you can keep it burning all winter except on zero nights. A furnace is quite hardy and by wrapping an old carpet around it on cold nights you can keep it from becoming dangerously chilled. Some people claim they can run a furnace all winter on $24 worth of coal, and that by putting in two shovels full in the morning can main- tain a. fierce heat until evening. Do not worry about these 'statementa, however. Go ahead and discount them with claims of your own. This is a free country and everybody can lie in it.
