Jean Louis Ernest Meissonnier was born

seuuestered spot, unnotced by the living,
be sure they would find you out in the
tWinkling of an eye, aud In an Incredibly
short time your clean-picked bones would
be prepared TO grace some doctors shop

killing one of these huge carrion birds,

Naturally, your attention is next called

many pil!ared corridors. above whose

you are shown to an enormously large but
