She Had Many suitors

Napoleon Ill, when he was living In
London; the Duke d'Aumale, Lord
Beaconsfeld and many other conspic-
uous figures of the nineteenth century
are on record as having been among
the suitors for the hand of Miss Bur
dett-Coutts. who afterward became
baroness, and 1t is doubtful whether
any woman ever received so large a
number of matrimonial offers as the
baroness. In fact, they became posi-
tive nuisance, and in 1S47 she was
compelled to bring legal proceedings
against a lawyer Of the name of Rich
ard Dunn, who, according to the
terms of the indictment, had for eight
years prosecuted her with most unwel
come attentions with view to matri
mony. Dunn was sent to prison fol
eighteen months, although there is nc
doubt that he was, while sane in Other
matters, perfectly crazy on the subject
Of Miss Burdett-Coutts, as she was
then, and particularly on the subject OF
her fortune.-Chicago Tribune.

De NsruaI,s Pat Lohatar.

A few days before Gerard de Nerval
was found dead in a narrow, dirty
street of Paris he was seen walking
in the Palais Royal, dragging after
him by means of blue ribbon a live
lobster. To friend who accused him
of madness he replied: "Why is lob

that will follow man? Besides. enjoy
the company of Holsters. They are
quiet; they are serious; they know the

disllked by his congregation for his
foolishness and conceit. He considered
himself greatly prosecuted and, meet
ing an old German friend of his on the
street one day, began to tell his woes,
ending up by saying: "And Mr. Brown,

The Word Explode. I"

Explosive" was first used in It's
modern sense in the first quarter OF
the nineteenth century. Explode" in
the sense of elbow up" or "go off, is
scarcely a century older. Before that
people talked of a ball being ''explod-
ed" from a gun, the clouds exploding
lightning or a volcano exploding
lava. but that was very much nearer
away with scorn. Explode" in fact
is literally to clap away and was 9
technical word for driving an actor of
the stage by contemptuous handicap
ping. That is the real meaning of an
exploded idea"
