Among the paintings in the famous Louvre at Paris is one which repre feents a favorite dwarf of Charles of Spain. This dwarf,' whose name was Corneille, is paintgd as a knight. with his left hand resting op. the back of a large dog. These little people have often mani josted great affection for their pa- trons, and have had the courage even to run imminent risks and encounter dabgers to 'serve them.

He had exercised great skill and prudence in making is escape, but his royal master re wained in captivity many years. A very amusing incident is told of a dw arf who lived at the court of the Archduke Ferdinand. A giant by the name of Ayntori. constantly bantered the dwarf on his diminutive figure. The dwarf endured his insultd until | patience ceased to be a virtue, as he | thoug ght, and seeking a private inter | view with the archduke he asked him to drop one. of his gloves at table and order Aymon 'ww pick it up...
