The Sedan Chair.

The sedan chair is named after Sc
dan, the town where 1t was first used.
The earliest mention of 1t In England
occurs in 1881. Early In the following
century the Duke of buckingham
caused much indignation by its use in
London. People were exasperated at
that nobleman employing his fellow
men to take the place of horses to car
ry him. Prince Charles brought from
Spain In 1923 three curiously wrought
sedans, two Of which he gave to the
Duke of buckingham. A few weeks
after their introduction Massinger pro-
duced his play, THE Bondman," and
In it he thus adverts to the ladies':

A LIBERTY WITH TIME.
Castear's Interrupted Lecture In ths
University of Madrid.


University of Madrid.
In Home Life In Spain" is fine
story of the University Of Madrid,
which once had among its professors
that Senior CASTELAR, who was for a
time president of the short lived Span
ish republic. But when Alfonso MI.
was brought to Madrid after the fall
of the republic CASTELAR,, with his COM
panions, was eXiled.
Some years afterward an amnesty
was proclaimed, and CASTELAR, returned
in triumph to Madrid to resume his
office in the university. A vast gather
ing attended to hear his first lecture,
and the greatest orator In all Spain
mounted the rostrum, looked imper'
turbably at the sea of eager faces sur
rounding him and began, "As l was
saying yesterday" Como decia aver.
Between that yesterday and this
day he had fought the battle of the
fallen republic and had known the bit
terness of years in exile. All memory
of this, however poignant in the heart
of CASTELAR,, had passed from the pro
fessor of Madrid's university, and ht
continued his lecture at the very poin
at which it had been broken Off.
