Of A KING
BOUGHT FOR
FEW CENTS
Venerable Collector Claims He
Has Remains Of Henry
Wind Disputed

PARIS. Sept. ga kings head,
even though 1t happens to be a
mummified one. is stirring up q
great deal Of discussion among the
French these days.
That Henry w. lost his heart
very frequently during his lifetime.
everyone will agree, but no one
ever heard Of him losing his head.
Joseph Hourdais, a faithful Breton
Of Dinard, however, thinks he has
found it, and has already taken
eteps to present 1t to the Musee
Carnavalet Of Paris. In 1890 this
venerable collector bought the head,
along with several others, for a few
sous at the Hotel Drouut. For
some years he has been studying it
carefully, and has now come to the
conclusion that it really Is the head
Of Henry Nv.
During the French Revolution of
1898, the tornbs Of the French kings,
IN Saint Denis Cathedral, the
Westminster 6f France" were Ger.
tainiy broken open and the remains
scattered far and wide. That OF
the Bourbon king was not spared.
History tells US that his lead COT
fin was opened To expose his body,
admirably preserved, and that his
white beard proved q constant
source of delight to curiosity seek
ers. who plucked more than one
bunch of hair from it. AfterWard
the body was thrown into a COM
mon burial-pit; and, If Monsieur

pit must have secretly made away

this there is no direct proof, and
many scientists and historians are
slow to believe it.

employed during the seventeenth
century, and this fact alone sindi.
Gates that 1t belonged to q person
age of Importance. The Bourbon
nose, the different shapes of the
eyebrows, the pierced ear.lobe, the
dimples and the texture Of the skin
all support the authenticity OF
the relic.
But this head is intact; and, &C.
cording to Lenoir, who saved the
monuments Of Saint Denis, the
skull OF Henry w. had been opened
and contained in place sof the
brains, which had been removed
oakum, covered with extract of
aromatics, which gave out very
strong odor.

LONDON TAILOR PROTESTS
WoMEN'S EXTRAVACANcE

LONDON, Sept. 2S.-Bond street
tailors have new complaint.
They are up in arms because the
extravaganza Of English women in
dress leaves no money for the men
folks Of the household to spend
on their own raiment.
2 Putting forward the theory that
It is more necessary for a man to
be well dressed than a woman, be-
cause clothes with a man are q
business asset; one Bond street
tailor said: Everywhere one sees
badly dressed husbands accom-.
panied by extravagantly dressed
wives, while shabby business men
dictate letters to stenographers
wearing the latest thing from Paris.
1t Is time that men rebelled. AS
things are, women spend at least
three times more than men,"
