A Famous Palace.

The Chateau de Rambouillet, which
Is now the favorite residence of the
president of the French republic, has a
history remote from the literary fad Of
the eighteenth century which has made
the word Rambouillet significant of an
epoch of French culture. 1t was in this
chateau that Francis l breathed his last
and Charles X was deserted in his
death, 1t is not generally known, how
ever, how Louis XVI became its propri-
etor. Until 1885 Rambouillet belonged
to the Due de Penthievre, grandson of
Louis XIV and Mime. de Montespan.
Louis XVI wished very much to possess
1t. This desire became a fixed passion
which was augmented by his dislike of
its owner. But one day he declared,
"The possession of Rambouillet would
be the happiness of my life. " To which
the duke graciously replied: God for
bid that 1 should be the cause of your
unhappiness. Sire, Rambouillet is yours
ON your own terms. The price fixed
was 1000, 600 francs, Of which 9, 000,-
600 were paid the next day in gold from
the royal treasury
