BITS OF HISTORY.
\ BY A. w. Macy.
<<*<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<%
A Strenuous Lover.

When William Normandy was a
youth of 10 he fell violently in love with
his cousin Matilda, daughter of the
duke of Flanders. The young lady,
however, did not reciprocate his affec-
ton with equal ardor, though she
seems to have entertained a kindly
feeling for him. She kept him waiting
for seven long years, and would not
give him final answer. The suspense
was very trying to one Of William's
impetuous temperament, and he finally
decided to bring matters to a crisis.
Meeting her in the street one day, in
company with some Of her friends, he
seized her and threw her in the mud,
with disastrous results to both her dig
nifty and her fine clothes. So humil-
lated. was she, so the story goes, that
she consented to become his wife with
out further delay.

The Peacock Throne.

Duelng the 18th century there stood
in the audience room Of the citadel of
Delhi, India, what was probably the
most costly and beautiful throne of
modern times. 1t was six feet high
and four feet wide, and was supported
by six legs of solid gold, encrusted with
gems. The body of the throne was in
laid with diamonds, emeralds and
rub1es Behind the throne stood two
peas ocks, with wings outstretchcd and
blaging with precious stones. On this
account 1t was called the peacock
throne" 1t was valued all the way
from 100000 to 100000 pounds;
probably no one knew the exact value
In 1889 the city of Delhi was captured
ana sacked by the Persians who rifled
the public buildings and temples OF
their treasures and carried them away
to their own country. Thus the rich
throne and it's costly ornaments fell
into their hands, prey to the fortunes
of war.

Is Long on Inventions.

Robert Coates, colored messenger in
the House cloakroom, is long on in
ventions. He is always busy over some
new idea and has patented a number
Of them. The latest patent he has got
out Is on a device to prevent runaways
from being dangerous. If Roberts ideas
were followed out, nobody would ever
get hurt In a runaway. He has patent
ed simple device whereby the shafts
Of single buggy or the tongue OF a
double buggy or wagon is held fast to
the vehicle. But If the horse or team
runs away, all one has to do is to touch
a lever, loosen the shafts or the tongue,
let the horse or horses run on to their
hearts content and sit still and watch
the proceedings. OF course, If one has
brakes to the vehicle, these can be ap-
piled after the horses have been loosen
ed Robert has figured 1t out that over
1880 persons are killed in this country
every year by runaway horses and that
It would be worth while to adopt this
safety appliance.

at a London (Eng.) court lately. The
child, Harry Murray, a curly-headed
little fellow of eight years, was he
adopted son of a woman named Mrs.
French. Although so young he was
quite a drudge and had to rise early,
light the fire, wash dishes, carry coal,
look after other children. The other
day the woman, who has frequently
treated him very cruelty, beat him
with a poker, and putting her fingers
into his mouth, stretched his cheeks
with such force that the skin broke
at the side of the mouth. The little
fellow got out of the house and his
condition attracted the attention Of a
gentleman, who took him at once to
the police station.
