FINE BUT NOT COMFORTABLE
French Palaces Before Reign Of Louis
XIV. Were DlstressfuI Places In
Which to Live.

Before the reign of Louis XIV. in
France there was a period when pal
aces were not very comfortable places
In which to live They were mag
nificently decorated but the windows
were small and not well placed and
the rooms were filled with magnificent
but not particularly comfortable fur
niture. Fires were seldom lighted in
the immense, beautifully eculptured
marble fireplaces. Usually the only
fire was to be found in the bedcham-
ber at the end of a suite of rooms.
At Versailles, in 1896, it is reported,
the water and wine froze in the kings
glasses at table. Nine. De Mainte-
non sat in chair with wings to 1t to
protect her from droughts. 1t was Gus
tomary to protect oneself from cold
by folding screens and portable
braZiers.
The furniture in the halls and par
lors consisted of carved wooden
benches, stools, heavy chairs and
great gilded leather armchairs and
ebony cabinets and Golfers, which
served for seats and even beds, and
which held bed linen, silver and
clothes.
One might wander for a long time
through these labyrinths of rooms be-
fore reaching the only Inhabited
room, the bedchamber, which was bet
ter protected from draughts, had
fire In 1t, and more comfortable seats
than the other rooms.
The bedchamber was the living
room. Friends and acquaintances
we're received there. The door of this
room was closed, but all the other
doors we're open, and persons came
and went as they pleased, admitted
and guided by no one, although there
might be more than hundred serv-
ants in the house. The master Of the
house, on leaving the bedchamber,
might find persons entirely unknown
to him wandering sitting, or even
taking maps here and there about the
rooms The service Of the servants
was SO poor one chronicler says, that
no one was surprised at being told
that he must go to bed without sup
per.
The celebrated literary and social
leader, Nine. De Rambouillet intro
duced a change in the fashion of
house-building and furnishing and roy
atty promptly copied her innovations.

There will be no more interesting

Prince Yoshihito admirably typifes
the newer generation in Japan. He
speaks English and French extremely

One of his characteristics is a fond

1t is related that during his school

Early Use of Candles on the Altar

Early Use of Candles on the Altar.
In very early days. though lights
were prescribed at mass, they were
placed not upon but near the altar.
Sometimes the number of lights at a
solemn mass was very great. Anglo
Saxon writers give this reason for
these lights. "The acolytes light
candles at mass not so much to dis
pei darkness as in honor of Christ,
who is our Light"
Even when later on it became the
general practice to have two candles
lighted upon the altar, two others" p"
we are told, were often lighted at the
parochial or high mass during the
canon. or at least before the eleva-
ton"
At Chichester in the thirteenth cen
tury it was the custom on great festi-
walls to place seven tapers on the al
tar, eight on the beam above 1t and
two on the altar step; and on ordi-
nary days three on the altar and two
on the step. We know also that in
the chapel of Henry VIII. on the field
of the cloth of gold there were ten
golden candlesticks on the altar
From the Ave Maria.

Matter Quickly Settled.

In an English opera company, form
ed for the summer months, it was
found that the tenors were too light
for the rest of the chorus. The mana
ger protested that there were voices
enough, and the leading tenor was
questioned why he did not sing with
more force. His answer to the re-
monstrances Of the manager was: Il
to sing anything but my summer
voice" The engagement of the tenor
and his summer voice came to
speedy termination.
