Russian coronaâ€" tions are not numerous; an occasion of this kind comes but once in a lifeâ€" time, and the policy of the Russian Imâ€" perial family has always been to dazâ€" zle the eyes of their subjects by magâ€" nificent court dramas, in which the czar is really a czar. To this end Rusâ€" sian coronations have been made as splendid as the resources of the emâ€" pire could perpit. The coronation of the emperor who has just passed away cost over $4,â€" 000,000 ; that of his predecessor considâ€" erably over $5,000,000; but in each case a show was provided for the peoâ€" ple of Russia that was vividly rememâ€" bered until supplanted in the popular mind by the splendors of the next. The coronation is regarded as much more than piacing « bauble on the head of the first man in the State; it is a series of gorgeous . ceremonials, and the people of every nation that forms a part of the greatest emgu‘e on the earth are required, through their representatives, to . assist, while the spectacle is made still more brilliant by the presence of the embassadors of every bers Ceasi rown The natic a r on the globe and of large numâ€" of princes of the relining houses, oyalty always assem les on these ions to congratulate the newly ned monarch. > preparations ‘fn‘r a }lussiaJn corâ€" THE CZAR‘S CORONATION ;"‘fi? % gi CURRENT NOTES. 1 ilization. _ Moreover, t can be proved only id were any court to efence in the case of the inevitable result e chances of escape proportion to the enâ€" display in the ness.

A few days after they were engaged and the ship sailed for the Torres Straits to complete the survey of the north coast of Ausâ€" tralia, all communications being cut off for months at a time, and then she returned direct to England. After that brief acquaintance, not longer than a fortnight, it was seven years before the lovers saw one another. At the end of this time, on Huxley‘s appointment to the School of Mines, he was in a position to claim his bride and welcome her to their first home, in St. John‘s Wood.

It bas been chewing for about three years, since it was a puppy, and is now so addicted to the habit that it can‘t get along without a duily dose of the weed. Its owner started it in the habit by giving it chunks of tobacco when it was a puppy, and the animal at ones took to it. It will chew only plug toâ€" bacco and will not touch fine cut. it holds the tobacco between its forepaws and sucks all the juice out of it. . The animal is really more of a good example than a lamentable instance of depravâ€" ity, for it does not spit on the floor or anywhere else. save Your Ammonia soap Wrappers And when you have 25 Ammonia or 10 Furitan Soap Wrappers send them to us, and a three cent stamp for postage, and we will mail you FREE, a handsome p.ciure guitable for framing.
