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,

A CHECK ON BULLS.
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

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.—

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. The Country
Gentleman gives it from its veter
inary editor, who says it is a cheap,
reliable remedy used on his cows for
years, and found to be lasting in re
sults, easily used and such a comfort
to the animals that they could stand
and be milked in the field, if neces
sary. Pine tar, one pound; lard, six
pounds. Melt the lard and stir in the
pine tar. Keep an old sponge in the
pail, and smear a little on the back
of the cow's head, along the spine
and on brisket twice a week, or when
necessary.
