clearly earns his sixpence entrance fee IL he
has man, persons like her for an audience.
All stranger has to do Is to get near the
guide and keep his eyes open and his mouth
shut. Most OF the guides are primed with
information and when not interrupted will
tell you everything about the place In their
peculiar sing song manner.
The next object OF interest was Shakes
peare's birthplace which found to be tine
old-fashioned building built OF large hewn
oak timbers and brick OF stone l could not
tell which as the outside was covered with
plaster. The Shakespeares must have been
afamily OF considerable means for the house
contains sixteen rooms and bears evidence
OF having been a very comfortable home
The first room from the street is the kitchen
with its wide mouthed fire place and cosy
chimney corner. Back of that Is the best
kitchen corresponding to our dining room
and last OF all are the bed rooms. The
stone floor is badly broken as the building
had been used as butcher shop for forty
years ana 1t is only recently that il has
fallen into the hands of the present com
pany. Il. L. Barnum nearly bought the
whole outfit AT bargain and wish he lIad
done SO Tor then we could see it without
crossing the SEA.
In one part OF the building is the museum
containing rellcs OF Shakespeare too numer-
GUS 10 mention as the auctioneers say. The
las El~ol.
Memorial, a fine edifice of red brick with
stone trimmings. 1. is OF such comparative
ly recent origin that further description is
unnecessary. The town is small but 1t is
rendered great by the ashes of a great man
Ii Is betitting that great writer's should visit
his tomb for 1t will stimulate them to re-
| rewed efforts and even common men will be
| the better for such association, while every
one must carry away in his memory fond
recolectiOns of this sacred spot CEPuII..
