it is easy to be dignified. Imagine in

Mr. Light introduced. in appropriate
words, the Rev. Charles M. Belden. of
Wilton.
Mr. Belden is descended from one
of the old Beiden families. who settled
Nor-walk.
He gave a pleasing description of
Wilton. whose lndisn name means
Pleasant Valley. Wilton is the eldest
daughter of Norwaix. having been oepc
armed from the latter in 1125.
Among the signers were the names
Abbott, Keeler, St. John, Betta, Trow-
bridge. Olmstead. Gregory. Keeler, etc.
Wilton is connected with Nor-wall: by
community of interests. During the
sufferings of Nor-walk. Wilton was a
sufferer, and it also was loyal to the
cause of the Revolutionlsis. Wilton is
a town which has kept up a high stand-
ard of culture and literary attainment.

MONARCHS POORLY PAID.

A List of Crowned Heads Who Receive
Btarvation Wages for Ruling
Their kingdoms.
It would seem that riches and regal
power do not always go together; at
any rate there are several monarchs in
receipt of salaries which the average
city clerk would despise.
The King of Portugal is probably the
poorest sovereign in Europe. He is sup-
posed to receive £82 000 a year. but it
is alleged it is some time since he re—

The Berlin general not of 1899 brought
this once powerful monarch face to face

most humiliating fact. however. is that
his chief justice receives 81.200 and his
president of common council $1.000 a
year. while his most insignificant. sub-

MICHAEL ANGELO’B HOUSE.
Little by little, as in oil other mod-
ern cities. Rome is changing, and pro.
cious landmarks are disappearing, in
many cases against the will of the in-
habitants. but artistic considerations
must sometimes give way to public
convenience. At present it is the house
of Michael Angelo which is in question.
The monument to Victor Emmanuel is
new proceeding. space. and with it the
consequent widening of the Curse, and
in the way of this stands the historic
house. The last twenty years—mud
among the most interesting—of the ii.
lustrious artist were spent hero. as it
was during that period that his charm-
ing friendship with the poctcss Victo-
ria Colonna tough place. and it was
here he wrote his sonnets whose in-
spiration she was, and here that he
made his last designs.
On a. cold day in February. 1661 he
died an old man. and was taken to the
church of the SB apostoli not far off
which stands next the Colonna palace
in the church is still to be seen the
statute of Michael Angelo on the tomb
where it was intended to lay him.
Modern criticism declares that It was
not intended for him, but the features
certainly answer to what we know,
even to the nose broken by 'I‘orrlglano
before he went to pursue his heated cs-
reer in England. The house was for
long rev-creased for its associations,
but was eventually lost sight of. and
only unearthed. so to speak. in I866.
to be later marked by a commomors-
five tablet. it is a sad pity that so
authentic a relic of the glorious begonc
days must disappear.—-Itoms Con-es»
