at First.
Back in the 13th century, there
lived in Florence, Italy, a family
called Medici, whoee chick business
was running the city of Flor•ene•.e and
meet of the banks in the civilized
world. •
Desicles owning a large number of
banks, the Medici had a monopoly on
the loan business in that part of the
Country. Their coat of arms was a
shield with six balls emblazoned on
it, but as the loan business spread
to other parts or the world and slip-
ped out of the Medici hands, three
balls. and tee shield were dropped
Nand the remaining three, suspended
over a doorway, have always sufficed
'to indicate that within money can be
borrowed.
No other house in mediaeval Eu-
-rope can boast of such a strange ca -
rear as that of the Medici. Bankers
by profession, posseesing no military
resources, gifted with no experience
`in war, aided by -no general convul-
.sion, they established a despotism
'which lasted for throe centuries, The
Mfediel owed tbeir earnest distinction
to their success in various branches
,of commerce which brought them
• enormous wealth, and the liberal
,spii'It with which they devoted their
money to general utility,
Cosmo de Medici w.:1 fond of p: y-
ing the taxes of ':lore who had run
'behind and so when he suggested to
this large majority of the city that
he would like to take a hand in reli-
ning Florence as it ought to be run,
they all agreed that they should like
to see him do R. end when a re al
family, called the Albizzi, established
a successful opposition, agair,st the
policy and credit of the Medici rl:le,
`hey came forward and chased the
eresumptuous Albizzi clear up to
Venice; and Cosrno, who bad been
banished, to the sante city, came back
'nd became the uncrowned King of
irlorence, and was given the title,
"leather of His Country."
The most famous member of the
'amity was. Lorenzo, surnamed the
.liagn[ficent. He was a grandson of
Cosmo, • and besides running loan'
Mops and banks in France, England,
:he Low Countries, the Levant and a
'.ew other places, he became the'vir-
:ual head of the Florence state, and
.vhat he said was law. He had a
;roved of five or six men hangir g
',round who, theoretically, had some-
:hing to say about how the city
tbould be governed, but Lorenzo
nerely ignored them, and they were
;lad to be allowed to draw their
taxies.
Before he succeeded to power, and
! while his father, Pietro, was getting

ii -n. Lorenzo married Clarice Orsini,
t member of one of the greatest re -mi-
les in Italy. ,Lorenzo was not. very

a certain black-eyed Lucrezia Dona -
;t, but his wise father realized the
)(neat of.an' alliance with the Or-
ilni who divided the moat of terrl-
iorial Italy with their hereditary
enemies, the Colonna. Besides the
aouse was famous for its numerous
;ardinals and gay- blades, valuable
:o»siderations in those days.
In 1478, the conspiracy of the Paz-
1 came near putting an end to the
tiediel, but .after much mutual mai-
ler ,and. with the help of the. Orsini,
Lorenzo ght a firmer hold on the
;tate 'of Florence than ever, so that
'n 'the end he was glad he took Clar-
ets Instead of running after Lucrezla.
Lorenzo now started in to rule his
iative city as it had never been ruled
'Afore, He followed in the footsteps
if his grandfather and won the favor
if the lower classes, thereby making
'bsoiute his own power. And to wit
.he favor of the highbrows, strug
;ling authors: and the club women,
re encouraged literature and the
iris, employed learned men to col-
lect choice books and antiquities for
him from every part of the known
world, established printing presses in
his dominions, rounded academies for
the study of classical learning and
filled his gardens with a collection
of the remains of ancient art, ' Fie
himself wrote a number or poems and
drar-atic compositions, 'and could
talk Greek and Latin as well as be
did Italian. When bis munificence
and conciliatory manners bad gained
for him the affection of the bigher
and the devotion of the lower
classes, Lorenzo lost no time in mak-
ing use of his popularity. While they
were all praising him and telling
each other what a noble fellow he.
was, he slipped' in and took away
from them all forms of constitutional
independence that he and his prede-
cessors had allowed to exist.
Some few Florentines, alarmed by
the -progress of the voluptuous re-
finement which was smoth'ering every
spark of personal' independence,
tried to call a halt on Lorenzo and
stem the current of corruption by
an ascetic severity of morals, which
gained for them the name of "ptag-
noni.," or weepers. Foremost among
them was the Dominican friar, Giro -
lama Savonarola, whose eloquent
appeal to the people in favor or a
popular government and a life of as-
ceticism threatened for a time to
overthrow the Medici.: Bat after

Statements made by Captain W. J.
Bassett, managing director of the
Western Steamship Company Toronto
at the inquest started here today con-
cerning the deaths of those lost in Lake
Huron on Sunday, November 9 The

Captain Bassett's statements were
made when he was q estioned as to 0
safety h:erbor on the Canadian side of
Lake Huron. The captain who has
sailed the lakes since 1172, and who is
now the head of a firm which owns
sortie of the largest Canadian freighters
was Must expressive in his reinarks,
He described Goderich harbor as a
$2 50 harbor," which was as easy of
entrance ten years ago as now. Gode-
rich was avoided in a storm, he said.
unless the weather outside was so
rough that a boat could not live in it
and then a captain might run his boat
in, lose his boat and cargo, but save
his crew.
In regard to the storm and the
foundering of so many vessels, Captain
Bassett said that he thought the etorin
which was the worst in his 17 year's
experience, was simply too touch for
the boats. Asked for a more elaborate
theory, the captain, in referring to the
\Vexfork, expressed the opinion, that
she may have shifted her cargo of
wheat in turning after the captain
had refused to take a chance on,euter-
ing Goderich harbor. There might
also have been collisions. He was of
the opinion that ee gigantic tidal wave
went up the lake, as all the boats went
down about the same time.

Nero•s Dining Room.
Excavators in Rome have uncovered
the ancient dining room of the Emper-
or Nero. The chamber revolved by
lnncbinery. Undcrnelltti were three
vertical shafts, down one of which the
explorer descended for 120 feet with-
out reai'hing the bottom. But nem' one
of the other shafts he found a tank
and below this 11 c:hamber twenty feet
wide by sixty feet long, with stones
carved as tug wheels, which evidently
represented the machinery by which
the dining room was made to revolve.
Presumably slaves furnished the pow-'
er. Close at bund and under the din-
ing roots was a bath, with rooms for
various bathing processes, the walls
boing beautifully decorated with plc-
tul'CS.
