Dumas opened his eyes very wide.
"If only you could read them in the

"Why not ?n said Dumas.
"Why, dear masterp Because you do

"Wiu you translate it to fne?" asked
Dumas. and FACES accordingly set to

A Valuable Old Book.

Curious books occasionally come to
light. One particularly rare and curious
from the sentiment that attaches TO it is
in the possession OF Miss Constance
Hamblin. 1t is the elder kean's original
scrap book, aud contains a curious col
lection of old prints. ~playbills, criticisms
and baud notes by Kean himself. 1t is
one of the books that make the joy of a
collector and one of the treasures that is
seldom to be found out of a costly
library. Another odd thing about 1t is
that it has never yet passed ont of the
hands of a professional" It Was be.
~queathed by kean to his son. and the
lame of its subsequent owners were
loud on the trumpet of fame. By the
younger Kean it was presented TO Mr..
Thomas Hamblin, then proprietor Of the
d Bowery Theatre. and later given by
bis wife, the Queenly Mrs. Shaw. to their
daughter, its present owner, Miss
Hambliu.
