From Althorp we went to Colonei

days. The house is far too small even
for the company it contained. Lord
Byron was there. Mrs. Leigh told me
that he spent most of the night writ

times looks terribly savage. He was

CorneilIe Not In Want.

1t has long been a literary tradition
that Corneille. the great French poet.
died in want. But it seems clearly es.
tablished that this is a mistake, dating
from an apocryphal and i'll interpreted
letter, since receRt study OF various
old documents at Rouen shows thu:
he was possessed of property In lands
and houses which would have made
many latter day poet happy. In ad.
dition he had his pension from the
king, although 1t apparently wasn't
very regularly paid. And following
the fashion of those days he was re.
ccmpensed for his dedications to
noble persons.
AS for the sale of "Polyeucte, .
Horace" lie Cid" and the other
dramas over which so many young.
sters have groaned. through the mis-.
taken policy of forcing students with
scarcely smattering of French gram
mar to wade through the classics, they
doubtless had small sales, as sales
are reckoned now, but we are assured
that sell they did, and they may even
have been the best sellers OF their
day.

Locks In Ancient Eoypt.

The Egyptian lock, states the Iron
monger. was an assemblage of wooden
pins or bolts. 1t Is possible that this
suggested to Bramah his remarkable
invention. The Roman lock was prac-
tically a paddock; and It seems prob
able that the key was of Green origin.
In Latin countries the loeksmith never
confined himself to mere door furni-
ture. At the very beginning-as now
adays in France-his art embraced all
the wrought ironwork which serves to
close and secure our dwellings, from
a monumental garden gate and rail-
ings to a simple latchkey. That art
reached its apogee about the fifteenth
or sixteenth century, so far as the
former class OF work was concerned.
Some medieval specimens-the hinges
OF the doors at Notre Dame, for in
stance-are so remarkable that en-,
vious and humorous contemporaries
have not failed to hint that the smith
who executed them must have sold his
soul to the devil.
