The writer says: After telling how the privy council was formed into a commission ‘‘to hear the petitions of the lords, great men, nobles, knights and other with regard to services, duties, attendances, offices, fees and rights connected with the cere- mony of coronation,’’ the roll states what these petitions were, or at least such of them as were granted. One was that the Duke of Norfolk, who claimed ‘‘the right to find for the queen ou her day of coronation a glove for her majesty’s right hand and to sup- port the queen’s right arm on the same day as long as her majesty shall hold in her hand the royal scepter, the peti- tioner hoiding the manor of Worksop | by the aforesaid services.’’ In other words, if the Duke of Norfolk had failed to provide the glove or tosupport her majesty’s arm at that particular . . : *g 4} ’ } ’ OWL! p< vOTSSOp manor would have been invalidated property have reverted to the crown. Another petition was thatof Barbara, t1y ; tas 44409 | Baroness Grey de Ruthyn, who, as the head of her family, claimed the right to carry the great spurs before her majesty on the day of her coronation and asked that George, Lord Byron, be appointed her deputy for the performance of that duty. Yet another was that of Francis, twelfth earl of Huntingdon. The earl- dom of Huntingdon had remained sus- pended for many years owing to the tenth earl dying without issue. When, however, this twelfth in the line of suc- cession succeeded in establishing, as a descendant of the second earl, his right | to the peerage, he alsoclaimed the right to carry one of the four swords of state in the coronation procession, this, as well as other duties and services con- nected with the ceremony, being the condition of his tenure of lands. Small wonder, thei; that in announcing the omission of the procession it was im- portant to set forth also that the non- performance of duties connected with it should entail no forfeitures. ~ 3’ and the | MEsSAGH TO MEN Proving that Tru ¢ Honesty and True Phi aotre hy still Kxist If any man who is weak, nervous and deb litated, or who is suffering from any of the various troubles resulting from youth- ul folly, excesses or overwerk, will take heart and write to me, I will send nia con- fidentially and free of charge the plan pursued by which [I was completely restor- ed to perfect health and manhood, after years of suffering from Nervous Debility, iose of Vigor and Organic Weakness.

The old 18 footer would trot along aftet the boy—he knew what was wanted—till they came to the house and then walk along the side looking down into the gutter as he went along until he came to the ball, and then he Would pick it up and bend his head down and give it to the boy. ‘‘One day when the youngster had thrown a ball upon the roof and had seen it roll down into the gutter he went as usual after the giraffe. When the giraffe looked along the gutter that day, there was no ball there. He took his nose out of the gutter and looked down at the boy in the yard with a large interrogation miark in each eye as much as to say: ‘**Sure it didn’t roll off somewhere ?® ‘‘And the boy said ‘Sure,’ and then the giraffe looked again, but it wasn’t there, and the giraffe so reported, with a solemn shake of the head, and was driven back to the barn. ‘“‘They woudered about this, for it was the first time the giraffe had ever failed to get the ball, and they knew it must be there, but it was scon explain- ed.
