VERY CURIOUS FEylNe PAN
Interesting Relic in the cIuuy Muse
UNI in Paris-lts Remarkable
History.

At the Cluny museum in Paris is
very interesting relic, of which this
is the history. 1t appears that one
day, a year or SO ago, the curator
of the museum happened to visit a
small restaurant in the suburb of
Saint Denis, in which the Same room
served for dining-room and kitchen.
While waiting to be served, the Gu
rator's eye was caught by frying
pan of most unusual appearance that
hung upon the wall. He took it down,
carefully removed some of the SCOT
with which it was covered, and made
out part of AIN inscription. What he
found interested him so much that he
bought the old pan.
When it was properly cleaned, 1t
was found to bear the arms of France
and Navarro, surrounded by the chain
of st. Louis and the cord Of the Order
of Saint Esprit, and this inscription
as we'll:
Here lies the magnificent Prince
King Louis XIV, king of France and
Navarro. Requiescat in pace"
1t was the plate that had been fast
ened to the coffin of Louis XIV. Wher
the burial-vaults of the royal family
in the populace of 1893, it had beer
wrenched from the coffin, fitted with {
handle, and turned into a frying-pan
The relic may now be seen in thu

removed, but three holes show wher'
it was attached.
