and equipped with mirrors and reject
ors so that none of the splendor Of the
fair occupant may be lost, either by
night or day. In general appearance
these show taxis viii much resemble
little glass houses on wheels. The top
is to be lined with shirred silk and the
cushions are to be made from the
most costly damasks and brocades.
Each set of cushions however, will

States in Europe, of which his adopt
I'd son shall be the head. So appar-

coming king has to do is to possess
wealthy parents, submit to adoption,
