The BED or JUSTICE.
IN Explanation OF nm 0ia French RoyAiisa

- - - @trs y ~"Nah Hsey &ss*e
Custom.
lie III de justice was. In French law.
the term which at first denoted the
throne on which the King was seated
when presiding over the deliberations
OF his parliament The expression
came afterward TO designate the assem-
bly, itself. and was applied to any sol
emn seance at which the French mon
arch appeared In person.
The first recorded s.lit'' was held In
1918, by Philippe v le Long (''the
talr'). and the last one was held by
Louis XIV. at Versailles. on the 9th OF
May. 1888. or. according TO various au-
thorities. on the 9Th of May. or In Au-
gust or September OF the previous year.
Tho bed OF justice was held only on af-
fairs relating TO the state and for the
purpose OF overruling the decislon OF
parliament and 20 force IL TO accept the
edic,s or ordinances which 1t had pre-
viously rejected
The theory OF the old French consti-
tuition was that the authority OF parlia-
ment was derived solely from the
crown; consequently when the King.
the source Of authority. was present
the delegated authority returned to the
fountain head. and the King was arbi-
trary. Therefore, on these occasions.
In acknowledgement OF this doctrine.
the parliament was logically incapable
OF resisting any demand or proposal
that the King might issue. and. natur-
ally. monarchs we're not slow to take
advantage of this power to overswe any
parliament that exhibited signs OF inde-
pondence.
Thus Louis XIV. having In this
manner overborne the opposition to his
parliament proceeded to exile that
learned body TO Troyes. The throne.
or bed OF justice proper. was placed un-
der a high canopy. erected at these
times the officers appeared in red robes
instead OF black-their usual attire
and every thing pertaining TO the oc-
casion tended to make II ceremonious
and imposing affair.
But as Prudhomme said: '.Malgrs
les lits de justice. la sonverainte dr
peuple prevaue contrc la prerogatiys
royale." Aud when some one inquired
OF Fonienelie the exact significance o.
a '.bed Of Justice" he replied: ''Ces
un lit on la Justice doft."

bled by Louis XIV. ut Versailles Au.

Clocks a Century Ago.

A clock was an expensive luxury In
those days II Is true that clocks had
been In use. more or less. for more than
a century, but they were large and
costly. and the common means OF tell
ing the time or the day was by a sun
dial or by pole set In the ground about
which lis shadow travelled. thus indica-
ting the time The Connecticut max
ers first brought clocks within the reach
OF all. Toward the close of the last
century Eli Terry, of Plymouth. Conn.
commenced making the old-fashioned
hang-up clocks. In which the wheels
and teeth were cut by hand. These af-
fairs cost SIS each. In 1907 Mr. Terry
eommenced making wooden clocks by
machinery. which greatly cheapened
them. MIR. jerome invented the one
day brass clocks. stamping out the
wheels from soft brass plate. In few
years by the invention OF machinery.
the price OF these clocks was reduced
10 " each. In 1912 clocks were sent
10 England and from this small begin
ming Connecticut has become the CEN
ter OF the worlds market for cheap
clocks. Chicago News
