EDWARD IS POPULAR All Classes of Eng'ish Society Adore Their New King. Wna a Ron Ylvniit an I'rlnce of Wales, But Sow In Sober mid Se«late— ill* I'orountlon to Occur Nest Juue. [Special London Letter.l WHEN King Edward YJT. was I'rince Albert Edward of Wales, he was considered the most democratic prince in Europe. Why, it would be hard to say. The people »112 England, as well as the masses of of other countries, raise up idols— sometimes because they are too stupid to comprehend the motives of their 10-called superiors, at other times for the sole purpose of knocking them down. As prince of Wales, the reigning British sovereign, who, by the grace of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, is soon to be made "British emperor," was a lib eral patron of the turf —an-institution far dearer to the average cockney than the established church. He ap peared in person at every meet of im portance, his horses contested for purses and his representatives were central figures in the betting ring. Among his associates lie was noted as a gambler of nerve, and scandal ven tured to assert that young and in experienced men with money in their purses were plucked like geese in the august circles patronized by the prince. His love for beautiful women was proverbial, not onty at home, but «Iso in Paris and Homburg. Had he belonged to a somewhatlowerstratum of society he would have been called sport and a rake, but being heir pre sumptive to the throne,the sycophants who surrounded him dubbed him "perfect gentleman and prince of good fellows." But the transition from second fid flle to first violin wrought a change in Albert Edward which frightened his old intimates and filled the hearts of the old-fashioned aristocracy with joy. Hardly had he been proclaimed THE ROYAL, STATE CARRIAGE OF GREAT BRITAIN. king when his character and disposi tion changed radically. He was no longer anybody's chum—he was everybody's sovereign. He ceased to be a patron of the turf, stopped gam bling, resented familiarity and re established customs which his ven erable mother had permitted to pass into what Grover Cleveland would have called "innocuous desuetude." Instead of "liberalizing" royalty, he issued edicts recalling to life usages which had been forgotten even by the heads of the various red-tape depart ments of court officialdom. Yet, in spite of these reactionary measures, his majesty is more popu lar than ever before; and this only goes to show that the masses are not only fond of display, but that the "divinity that doth hedge a king" still is a tangible something in the public mind. Many a revolution has been avoided in past ages by royal display. Bythe same means dissatisfaction has been changed into ad.oration. When the present German emperor ascended the throne, he was not a popular mon- THE KING'S CHAMPION. arch. He was antagonized in parlia ment and out of it. The people called him young and inexperienced; the nobility cold and unreliable. He made a few bellicose speeches and ar ranged a succession of gorgeous pngtiiils. Wherever he appeared he was"it," and very soion the factions which had abused him most became his blindest admirt rs. Whether the erratic William gave his British uncle a few private lessons in statecraft, as some waspish writers have had the hardihood to assert, will probably never be known. Certain it is, however, that King Edward has succeeded in winningoverto hissidethe high aristocracy ,uid the middle-class nonconformists, two elements which, no longer than a year or two ago, pronounced hiin untit to succeed the good Victoria ruler of a great Chris tian nation. Although the coronation of the king wil< not take place until uextJune, it is the paramount topic of oonvers** I tion in the English metropolis; and everybody seems to delight that the celebration is to be conducted upon a scale of magnificence unparalleled in modern history. The costermongers seem to be quite as joyful oeer the coming' event as the aristocratic ladies who will participate in the services at Westminster abbey. It is to be an all-around "by-the-grace-of-God" af fair, in which everybody can take, a part—the nobility by exhibiting' rare family jewels, the rabble by shouting, and rich Americans by paying- exor bitant prices for windows along the line of the royal procession. The coronation of an English king is a mediaeval ceremony of so much interest that a short description of it may be welcomed by many Amer ican readers. The king and liis consort, accom panied by the princes and princesses of blood royal and attended by tho highest household and military offi cers and crack military organizations, proceed from the palace to Westmin ster abbey, at the entrance of which the sovereign is received by the great officers of state and the noblemen designated as bearers of the royal in signia. lie is conducted to the robing chamber where he is clothed in sur coat of. crimson velvet with a mailtlo and hood of the same material, trimmed with ermine and bordered with deep gold lace. After the cap of state lias been placed on his head, he advances up the nave into the choir, the choristers immediately beginning the anthem. The sovereign moves to the south side of the throne and passes to a chair of state called the recogni tion chair, where for a few moments he gives himself up to private devo tion. The archbishop of Canterbury, standing near the king, then says to the lord chancellor, the lord great chamberlain, the lord high constable and the earl marshal, who stand, re spectively, in the. east, west, north and south side of the abbey: "Sirs, 1 here present unto you King Edward, the undoubted king of this realm; where fore all you who are come this day to do your homage, are you willing to do the same?" The sovereign stands while east, west, north and south re spond in union. This is the recogni* tion, after which the king passes to the altar, where he offers to the arch bishop an altar cloth of gold and an in got of gold weighing one pound, called the sovereign's offerings. After that follows communion, and then the oath is administered to the king. There upon the archbishop anoints the royal head and hands in the form of a cross, with consecrated oil. Next he is pre sented with the royal spurs of gold, the royal sword, the imperial mantle of cloth of gold, the orb, the ruby ring, the scepters of the two kingdoms, the scepter royal and the scepter with the dove. One represents kingly power and justice, the other equity and mer cy. Then follows the actual crowning. The crown is consecrated by the arch bishop who places it on the royal head, i his is the signal for all the peers and peeresses to put on their coronets, the bishops their caps and the kings-of arins their crowns. Simultaneously the royal salute is fired and there is a loud blast of trumpets, and all the world knows t hat, the king is crowned. At this junc ture the treasurer of the household distributes the medals struck to com memorate the occasion. The adminis tration of the sacrament and the bene diction conclude the religious cere mony, which occupies several hours. 'lhe king then exchanges the robe of state for the royal robe of purple velvet, and the orb and scepter royal are placed in his hands. He is con ducted out of the abbey and returns to the palace in the same great state as in the triumphal progress to old West minster. Whether King Edward will have a coronation banquet is not yet known. William IV. and Victoria omitted this part of the ceremony. Should the new king conclude to have one it w ill revive many old customs, among them the mummery of the "champion of Eng land." This champion is a knight dressed in mediaeval panoply of war who makes his appearance at, th<? coronation banquet at Westminster hall and challenges to mortal combat any who in..y ueny the title of the monarch just crowned. Should noona answer after the third defiance, the champion will approach the kng, and bis majesty will drink to him from a gilt cup, which he then presents to his gallant defender. The office of cham pion is an ancient one, and is supposed to have been brought to England by William the Conqueror. Since the time of Ilieliard 11. it has remained in the Dymolte family, of Scrivelsby manor, Lincolnshire, the present head of which is Sir Francis Dymoke, an unpretentious country gentleman of peaceful habits and very small stature, WILLIAM WALTER WELLS.

InproTrmrnt on an Amerlcnn Device SacKratril by South Anntrnllnu Experimenter., The Australian Leader suggests this improvement on a device to pre vent bulls from breaking fences which was published years ago in the Country Gentleman—devised by the South Australian department of agri culture. It is described ns follows: "A block of wood is screwed onto each horn, and a wire stretched from block to block and also to the nose CHECK ON UNRULY BULL* ring, as shown. So long as there is no pressure on the wires between the ring and the horns, the nose ring is simply held upwards without any discomfort to the animal. ! Should the bull rush any other ani- I mal, or attempt to get through any | fence, the. pressure pulls the nose ring upwards, causing considerable pain. It requires very few experi ences to teach the animal that any misbehavior on his part is attended by suffering to himself. On« promi nent breeder saj's even the fiercest of bulls is quickly tamed by this de vice. In place of the blocks on the horns, the latter are sometimes bored through near the point and the wires secured. The blocks may also be put on in different ways, the object be ing to bring the wires from the horns to the nose away from the head and face." KOCH ~ON TUBERCULOSIS. Recent Stiitenicnta of (he German Patliolos'lHt Should He Taken with a Grain of Salt. London dispatches state that Prof. Koch, the German pathologist, who is attending the British congress called to consider means for the pre vention of consumption, in the course of an interview with a newspaper re porter authorized the statement that he has demonstrated that the meat and milk of cattle infected with tu berculosis may be consumed with im punity. To the newspaper corre spondent he is reported to have said: "You may say substantially that 1 have reached the conclusion that mankind's fear of contact with tu berculosis-infected flesh and fluid is unnecessary and unfounded. I ar rived at the discovery through what I consider practically indisputable tests. These experiments lead me to believe that human tuberculosis and bovine tuberculosis are two entirely distinct species. I have found the human tuberculon incapable of inocu lation into the animal system. Pro ceeding from that premise, I am pre pared to show that humanity's far reaching precautions against infected cattle may once for all be aban doned." The results which Dr. Koch is cred ited with securing are not in accord with those which have been the prod uct of similar tests made by many pathologists of this country and Eu rope, and before accepting these statements at their face value we shall await further particulars.— Farmers' Review. A Comfortable Form ll»i lit y. Never hesitating to slur the plain farmer, some of the big city dailies are cartooning the proposition ad vanced in a western state to estab lish steam laundries and bakeries in well-populated neighborhoods. Wheth er feasible or not, the inspiration is a good one. The hard-working farm er's wife has never been able to share very much in the labor-saving machinery and implements employed on the farm, and her position has been one of hand to hand contact, with the pressing work which must be accomplished 365 days in the year. Not impossibly these enterprises could be successfully run by farmers on tha cooperative plan, affording needed relief to the overworked help mate who does so much toward the £°rmpnent of the farmer's business ar.d toward.his comfort.— Farm and Home. The Cow« In Fly Time. Here is something that should be preserved by every reader that owns cows, especially, and good for other cattle also in fly time.
