II stands amid mountains of tapestry
and can easily be seen, when in posi-
ton, by any visitor The chair itself
is of wood, gold, ivory and silver. So
roomy is it that two Queen Yictorias
could find place there, despite the crit
icism which attributes to William Dean
lIowells an intention of calling his
forthcoming book "The British
Throne" because the royalty upon it
| is so large and fat.
When it was represented that her
majesty had complained of the hard
oak and ivory seat as irksome to royal
flesh, Mr.. Labouchere expressed his
Willingness to allow the price of a
feather bolster
The continental monarchies have
been far more liberal in providing
throne chairs for their sovereigns than
the English people. This is, perhaps,
because only British royalty must give
an account of how its subjects money
is spent.
Emperor William, upon assuming his
prerogatives, gave orders for the con-
struction of two elaborate throne
chairs. One was for the emperor of
Germany, the other for the king of
Prussia. Hardly was the work of MAX
ing them begun than the young ruler
changed his mind and decided that the
paternal seats would do.
The present imperial throne chair of
the empire of Germany seems never
to have been intrinsically appraised,
but $1,000 is hardly an exaggerated
statement of what it and its present
appurtenances have cost.
Those who have seen the car of all
the Russias sitting scepter in hand, on
his great white throne, agree in pro-
nouncing the sight one of the few i'm
pressive things connected with the
nineteenth century royalty. The car,
being an absolute despot, can not be
said to have an official residence for
the chair of state. Wherever he sits is
the throne of Russia. But in the
palace of st. Petersburg there is an
apartment in which his imperial
majesty's advisers assemble on such
occasions as it suits him to call them
together officially. 1t is described as
an immense marble hall, with an in
closure at one end, vaguely suggestive
of cathedral altar.
The thrones of other lands follow
the presidents of time and royalty.
In Austria Francis Joseph sits in state
upon the arms of the Iiapsburgs which
decorate the seat of the imperial chair.
In Italy there is an elaborate throne
etiquette, but the object itself has not
much of an air. There is another throne
in Rome that of the sovereign pontiff.

ORIGIN OF PERFUMES.
Scented Dandies Not ms Common II
Society Now as OF Yore.


Scented Dandies Not ms Common In
Society Now as OF Yore.
In the early days OF the world,
when man, with his usual unselfish-
ness. was promo to mako burnt
offering OF his brother, aromatic
woods were used to counterfeit the
unpleasant odor Of burning flesh.
Such. according to the New York
Press. was the origin OF perfumes,
and their lavish use to-day is too
frequently suggestive OF it. The
more OF the primeval savage there
turks in man the more powerful
the contents OF his scent bottle and
the more liberal his patronage of
those BARRIERS who torture the nos
trils by their generous use OF bay
rum and cheap cologne. Why men,
or women either, should want TO
make walking aniseed bags OF them
selves is mystery explained only by
the unpleasant fact that the same
class of people have hydrophobic
dislike to water in any form. There
Is no aroma so exquisite as that OF
the clean, wholesome human body
and pure breath. To disguise it by
even the most delicate of Persian ex-
tracts is TO cast a slight upon gift
of nature. Il is encouraging to note,
however, that the taste for perfumes,
as for art, is constantly growing
more refined and cultivated in this
country, and the more delicate and
subtle scents only are used for the
bath and linen sachet.
The man who dips his mustache
in white rose, sprinkles his handker-
chief with violets or dampens his
hair with the dread jockey club, is
extinct in good society. Still, there
is vast room for improving the choice
of the general public in the matter
of these wondrous compounds of
the chemists skill, which carry no
possible suggestion of the fragrance
of tho blossoms they are named and
labeled after. Who, at a popular
entertainment, has not been half
suffocated by the fumes of the deadly
patchouli, the impossible scent OF
the new mown hay. and that favor
lite of London flower girls, the pene-
Grating musk? And who has not
been nauscated at even some of our
best theaters by cad of some sort.
whose presence permeated the atmos-
phere with a mixture of old rye and
Frangipani? What. by the way,
would be the emotions of that dis
tinguished botanist could he know OF
the base use to which his name has
been put?
Perhaps nothing has done more to
corrupt the delicate sense of smell
than the rage for pot-pourri, which
sprang up few years ago and ran
amuck through the country, as did
the peacock's eyes and dragon candle
sticks, until the mere sight of a
covered jar on the mantlcpiece made
anyone who had not cold in his
head fairly shudder. Happily the
most delicious perfumes can never
De patented nor photographed,
though they linger on the brain for
years. Not even the sunny curls or
the tinted miniature can recall lifes
happiest moments like the cherished
odor of ones favorite flower. What
can compare in voluptuous sweetness
with the fresh rose she gave you?

gagged to the late MISS ADELE GRANT.
Lord Garmoyle, afterward Earl of
Cairns, but upon his name being asso-
ciated with that OF an English actress,
the engagement was broken.
She is to be countess nevertheless.
and, what is more, one of unusual
prominence, for although her husband
is an earl, there are earls and there are
earls, her future earl being the seventy
third peer in England. The import
ance of this number will be realized
when it is known that the Bradley
Martins earl is the 2OOth. The earl
dom of Essex was created in the year
1861, whereas that of Craven is quite
modern, and dates only from 1901
This being the case, the future countess
of Essex will take precedence over the
countess of Craven. On the other
hand, the former Miss Cornelia Martin
is more fortunate than Miss Grant, for
should the first ever have n son he will
succeed to the title of earl, whereas no
son that the countess of Essex may
ever have will enjoy this honor, unless

the late earl of Essex by his first wife,
