' l'Jstmas advertisement-
When the time comes for a
now king of England the College
of Arms will proclaim him just
as they have proclaimed every
monarch for hundreds of years
past. Times change and dynas
ties. We are loss like the Eng
lishmen of Edward I, than we are
like the1 modern Japs. Wo talk
a different tongue, wo oat differ
ent foods, we "wear different
clothes, wo think different
thoughts. Nothing is the same
except the columns on Stone
hongo and the College! of Arms.
The college abides, varying by
not so much as a detail of proced
ure or a button on a uniform.
What is, is good and cannot be
improved. Therefore, the busi
ness of proclamation will be the
same in the twentieth century as
it was in the fifteenth.
Wheu the time unhappily
comes for a new king to reign the
privy council will meet and de
clare the throne to have devolved
on the Prince of Wales. Orders
will at once be given to the earl
marshal and the officers of the
College of Arms to proclaim him.
The first proclamation will be
made in the courtyard of St.
James' palace where the guard is
changed. Garter King, the chief
officer of the college, will make
the proclamation in solemn form,
with the earl marsal, the knights,
the herald aud the pursuivants in
full uniform and mounted hard
by. At this proclamation the
monarch is present, sitting at the
window whore all his predecess
ors have sat.
This is the ehiofest of the proc
lamations, but the news has to
be carried far and wide to the dis
tant cities, the rauk of the pro
claiming officer descending as the
business proceeds. The second
pronouncement is made at Char
ing Cross, and the third at the
corner of Chancery lane.
At this proclamation there will
be a modification of the ancient
form, owing to the disappearance
of Temple Bar. Within the city
of London the lord mayor and
sheriffs preserve their ancient
sovereignty, aud allow no ruler
within their gates except after
permission has boon asked and
granted. The old form was for
the junior pursuivant to raj) at
the gtite and show his warrant
for proclamation. Thou the lord
mayor ordered the gates to be
opened, and joined in the stately
procession. The ceremony will
doubtless remain, barring the
knock at the gate, which does not
exist. In the provinces the proc
lamations are made by the local
mayors.
Being proclaimed and crowned
the king has to otter to fight for
his throne. In the olden times,
when a king reigned by the iower
of his right arm, this was a nec
essary formality, and because it
was necessary once it is done
still. But the king no longer
does his own fighting, He has a
champion the hereditary cham
pion of England, whose duty it is
to do battle with all comers for
the crown. The champion is al
ways a member of the Dymoko
family. When the king is crown
ed this champion rides into West
minister hall, mounted and in full
armor, just as the champion was
000 years ago. He is accompani
ed by the earl marshal and the
lord groat chamberlain, also on
horseback. The hall is crowded
with ticketed sight seers. A
proclamation is road by one of the
heralds, challeugiuganybody who
disputes the right of the sover
eign to combat in an open space.
The champion throws down his
gauntlet as a guarantee of good
faith, and then the hearts of all
tho ladies flutter in anticipation
of a fight. But it is all a disap
pointing sham. If some euter
nrising person were to take up
the challenge aud tho guautlet
he would probably bo run in by
the police for creating a disturb
ance. The herald takes up the
glove and hands it back fo tho
champion, and then the king is
firmly seated onhisthroue. Lon

THE UNSANITARY DOLLAR.
"WHAT IS A FRIEND."
Tho selfishness of mankind, as
well ascovetousness aud cupidity
bliuds the average pursuer of the
almighty dollar to its unsanitary
condition. Ho is heedless of the
death dealing microbes which
swarm and gambol over the en
graving, and is interested ouly in
its face value and purchasing
power.
Not one man in a thousand can
say, without reference or hesita
tion, whether tho dollar bill boars
the likeness of Abraham Lincoln,
Bonjamiu Frankliu or Thomas
Jefferson. Fewer can recall the
portraits and historic scones en
graved upon bills of a higher de
nomination. Nobody ever thinks
of refusing currency because its
artistic features have boon blur
red or blotted by hard usage.
And nobody was over known to
refuse a bill because it had not
been recently fumigated, washed,
starched and ironed. Neither
the banks, their patrons nor the
masses of the people are able, in
these busy times, to hold piipor
currency long enough to subject
it to microscopic examination, or
to chase the bacteria off its face
or back. Tho man who cannot
be induced to touch a soiled or in
fectious article of any other kind
will jam a roll of diseaso-breediug
bills into his ockot aud look
pleasan t, cou ten tod and con fiden t.
Dirty dollars are legal tender,
and tho person who refuses to ac
cept them in payments of debts,
public or private, subjects him
self to considerable legal annoy
ance and monetary inconvenience.
The man who is seeking a loan at
the bank is troubled more about
iiis chances of getting it than a
bout tho bacteria he may receive
with it. And, per contra, the
bank is more particular about the
repay aiont of the loan when due
than it is regarding the microbes
which may accompany it. Such
is the degenerating and demoral
izing influence of tho money pow
er that even the most fanatical of
bacteriologists will run tho risk
of contracting disease of the most
aggravating form rather than re
fuse the currency which is offer
ed him, even if ho is certain in his
own mind that it is infected.
THE EXPERT BUTCHER.
It is his business, of course,
and he becomes export at it, as
any man might in any work, but
tho customer who pays any at
tention to it at all is sure to be in
terested nevertheless in tho ac
curacy with which the butcher
cuts off just the required amount
of meat. Whether it is two
pounds of steak, or four pounds
of chops, or six pounds of corned
beef, it's all the. same to him.
He cuts without long dwelling
uxn where to set the knife.
Ho slices away sort of causaliko
and plies the saw and lays the
meat on tho scales, and it does
not weigh more than a quarter or
a half M)und from the weight re-
Lquired on eventhehoaviostpiecos,
and pu the lighter piece ho comes
within an ounce or two, hits it
right on the nail.
A man, for instance, goes into
a butcher shop and asks for
three and a half or four pounds
.of, say, corned boof. The butch
er gets a big piece out of tho
pickle, expeditiously Jays it on a
block and picks up a knife, and,
without tho slightest hesitation,
with one strong, smooth sweep
cuts off a piece, which he lays on
the scales. It weighs three
pounds aud threo-quarters. It
is in weight exactly m id way be
tween the limits set.
Tho expert butcher gets his
ability to do this, naturally
enough, from good judgment, to
start with, backed np by long ex
perience, but when he cuts things
as close as this jven the custom
er familiar with his skill looks,
upon him as a wizard. Now York

The English language remind
mo of some of these typewriters
and the game of whist. It looks
mighty simple, but tho further
you go aloug the more complicat
ed aud swear provoking it is. Wo
have all heard of tho man who
told his sweetheart that before
marrying her ho must confess
that ho was a somnambulist.
"Oh, I don't mind that," said
the dear, sweet girl, "wo are
Presbyterians ourselvos, but wo
are not a bit narrow."
The following definitions were
given in answer to the above
question, jiropouuded by a well
known writer for the press:
The sunshine of calamity.
The essence of pure devotion.
The ripe fruit of acquaintance
ship. One who understands our si
lence. Friendship, ouo soul in two
bodies.
A star of hope in the cloud of
adversity.
A volume of sympathy bound
in cloth.
A diamond in the ring of ac
quaintance. A safe in which one can trust
anything.
Friendship is the ersonittca
tioti of love aud help.
Tho jewel which shines bright
est in the darkness.
One who considers my needs
before my deservings.
The link in life's long chain
which bears tho greatest strain.
A harbor of refuge from the
stormy waves of adversity.
The first iorson who comes in
wheu tho whole world has gouo
out.
One who loves tho truth aud
you, and will toll the truth in
spite of you.
One who multiplies joys, di
vides griefs, aud whose honesty
is inviolable.
The triple alliance of the three
groat iowors love, sympathy
and help.
A jewel whose lustre the strong
acids of poverty and acids can
not dim.
The imago of one's self reflect
ed in the mirror of mutual esteem
aud affection.
One who, having gaiued tho top
of the ladder, won't forget you if
you remain at the bottom.
A bank of credit on w Inch we
can draw supplies of confidence,
counsel, sympathy, help and love.
One who smiles in our misfor
tunes, frowns on our faults, sym
pathizes with our sorrows, weeps
at our bereavements, aud is a
safe fortress at all times of trou
ble. -
One who, in prosperity does
not toady you, in adversity as
sists you, in sickness nurses you,
and after your death marries
your widow and provides for your
children.
DIFFERENCE IN BOOTBLACKS.
"Did you ever notice thc-differ-euce
between tho darkey and Ital
ian bootblacks?" said a manabout
town to a Chicago Inter-Ocean re
porter. "I say darkies and Ital
ians because most of the 'shining'
in Chicago is done by one or the
other. Tho darkies do the work
in barber shops and shoe stores
and the Italians run most of tho
"parlors."
"Now, you watch a darkey, and
if he's alone he '11 talk to his cus
tomer. If there's two of them
they'll chatter together like mag
pies. And tho darkey is so full
of music and dance that he's got
to put them into his work. He'll
put in all sortsof fantastic motions
and beat out a rudo kind of time,
as if he were picking a banjo or
cutting a pigeonwing. When he
brushes you he'll beat you with
tho whisp broom in the same way.
"Ho iuto one of the Italian 'par
lors' and it's as still as a grave.
There may be a dozen bootblacks
but not one of them will speak to
you or to a comianion. They do
their work steadily and rapidly,
but its work, and nothing else.
Same way with their brushing
you. It's as different as a watch
service from a cake walk."
Few persons are probably now
aware that while this country
does not have a iostal savings
bank system, under the money
order system money can be do
lK)sited in a iostoftioe and an or
der secured payable at tho same
office. That change makes the
postoftices available for savings
banks, with tho exception that
they do not pay interest.

THE MAKIMJ OF SLATE PEN.
CILS.
A slate ioucil is a very simple j
affair, and ono would scarcely i
imagine the process of its manu-1
facture complicated. Yes, like i
mauy other simple devices in con
stant use, it is the result of much
thought aud care, aud a product
of complicated machiuery.
First, broken pieces of slate are
put into a mortar run by steam,
and crushed iuto a powder, which
is then bolted in a machine such
as is used in flour mills. A fine
slate flour results, which is thor
oughly mixed in a large tub with
steatio flour and other materials, !
the whole making a stiff el ugh. I
The dough is kueadod by being
passed between iron rollers a
couple of times, aud is them taken
to a table, where it is made into
short cylinder four or five inches
thick, each containing from eight
to ten pounds of material. Four
of these cylinders are placed in a
strong iron retort which litis a
changeable nozzle, regulating the
size (if the pencils.
In the retort the material is
subjected to great hydraulic pres
sure, and is thus pushed through
tho nozzle in the shape' ef a long
erord. As this cord comes through
it passes ever a knife which cuts
it into the elesireil lengths. These
are laid on boards t elry, and are
then placed em sheets ef corrug
ated zinc. The corrugation pre
vents tho pe'ucils from warping
during tho baking prewoss. The
baking is done in a kilu, which is
furnished with pipe's filled with
superheated steam. The pencils
go from the kilu to the finishing
roeim, where the ends are ne'atly
peinte'd by being hold for an in
stant under a rapidly revolving
emery wheel, aud then to the
packiug rexnn.
