what he considered the most interest

whose head Just reached her brothers
shoulders. BorulwaSki was rot only a
handsome man and a courtier but a
scholar of repute. He lived in five
reigns and was laid to rest in Durham
in 1887.
Richard Gibson and his wife, who
lived in the seventeenth century, were
n remarkable pair, quite apart from
their inches, which combined barely
made up seven feet. Both were clever
painters of miniatures and Gibson
was drawing master TO the daughters
OF James II. At their wedding, which
was arranged by Henrietta Maria,
Charles I. gave the bride away, the
Queen placed a valuable diamond ring
on her finger and Edmund Waller. the
court poet wrote a poem in honor Of
the occasion.
Among other dwarfs Of interest was
Philct3S, who acted as tutor to Itolemy
Philadelphus, and who was said to be
so light M we'll as short that he car
ried weights In his pockets TO prevent
his being blown away. Then there
were Coropas and Andromeda, two
tiny hand maideps OF Julia, niece OF
Augustus, each OF whom was but
twenty-eight inches high. Richebourg.
who died in Paris in 1858. was just
one inch under two feet.
1t is a curious fact that most OF the
famous dwarfs attained ripe old age.
Borulwaski was only two years short
OF the century when he died. Richie
bourg was 80, Gibson was "a, while his
widow died at 50 years.
Among those in the service OF the
late Sultan Of Turkey. Abdul Hamid
who found themselves without jot

In appearance the street differs from
