another ruler is firmly seated on his
throne but these have now become
scarcely more than figures of speech
Tor it IS an ~lndisputable fact that even
the members of the royal households
would be at a loss to tell where these
thrones are located or to describe their
appearance, while, in regard to the
crowns, even the intimate friends of the
royal ~personages themselves may never
have seen them except at the national
museum or the state treaSure chamber.
The sovereign who makes use of his
crown most frequently is strangely

DARING DESPERATE OF SCOT.
LAND.

Philadelphia Times: The story of the
arrest of the poacher MacCallum, ac-
cused of the murder of Police Constable
King in Inverness-shire, Scotland, is an
exciting one and reads like the romance
of a modern Rob Roy. A warrant had
been issued for this mans arrest, and
Constable Thomas King and Constable
McNiven on December 20 visited the
lonely cabin where MacCailum and his
women folk We're known to live.
BLACK May and her daughter in
formed the constables that MacCallum
had gone to Loeb Garten. Shortly after

it is doubtful if this is ever
held again.
The last Emperor of Austria to be
crowned was Emperor Ferdinand in
1898 and the crown that was the symbol
of Austrian royalty is now in the pos
session of King Humbert. This CROWN, in
fact, is the only one that he possesses and
he has never had an occasion to wear it..
1t is the famous Iron Crown consist
ing of a band of gold lined with a band
of iron said to have been made from nails
used at the CrucifiXion. These nails were
brought from Palestine by the Empress

Great, about 1000 years ago and since
that time ave been part of the crown
With this some forty monarchS a been

During the war of 1859 it was seized by
the Austrians but they were compelled to
return it after the peace of 1866 and it is
now preserved with other sacred relics
in the high altar at the cathedral at Mon

The crown of Hungary is as old if not
older than the Iron Crown" 1t was
presented to Stephen of Hungary by Pope
Sylvester H., and so is about a thousand
years old. Since that day it has travelled
all over Europe, has been pawned and
buried, but at last it was recovered and
is now most carefully guarded.
The crown of Roumania is made of steel
which was captured in the form of gun
barrels and swords from the Turks dur
ing the war Of 1876. At that time it was
used but never since that day has it
rested upon the head of the king.
The King of Bavaria has never been
crowned and his throne might be any
one of the dozen or more $4,000 chairs of
state which were scattered about in the
various chateaus and palaces by the late
King Louis. They are eXQuisitely carved
and are thickly covered with gold and
jewels but not one of them has ever
been dignified with the title of throne.
The Papal throne would be just as
difficult to designate as any of the tenn
poral thrones. Three holy seats are
known by that name, one being the
throne in the chancel at St. Peters, an
other at the Vatican while the third is
the famous sedia gesatoria on which the
Pontiff is borne by his attendants. 1t is
