spot where martyr-souls of old waded through the baptismal depths of blood. to find release from their sufferings and rejoiceful welcomes to home in Heay. en.
 Rome, there she sits to-day, the Niobe of nations, her children dead, her glory gone, gloomy Past speaking of her vanished splendor. Her tenantless ruins trail her sadness through the centuries; her falling walls repeat the story of her doom. And doomed is any city and cursed is any nation that stays Gods prophets and spills the martyr-blood of His children. Rome is the Eternal City, on her seven hilled fortress she shall stand till the archangel's trump proclaims that Time is ended and the rolling years are no more; but what is time compared to nobility of character what are monu. ments recording past greatness con- pared to greatness of the soul! The old prophecy may be true; but nation, to stand enduringly. needs far surer foun- dation than the mere passage of time: "While stands the Colosseum, Rome shall
 stand;
 When falls the Colosseum, Rome shall fall; And when Rome falls, the world" (Otis W. Barker, Newtown, Conn, May 16, 1895.

bone of a whale caught in the Pacific ocean that is said to have been 80 feet in length, and this cane is very handsome ly inlaid with tortoise shell. Then he has cane that was made from portion of a timber that was taken from the old Stoddard House in Woodbury, which was erected in 1700 and not removed till 1880. This cane is also handsomely carv- ed. He has match box that also bears distinction.
 IT WAS MADE
 from part of the house where General Washington had his headquarters in Stamford. In antique furniture MT Peck has collected some very handsome pieces, especially in chests of drawers and odd chairs. The oldest piece of furniture to be found was chair that belonged to John Hull, dating back to TAO. By this time we had hastily seen about everything when MT Peck remark ed II suppose you have seen my railroad track" On being assured that it had not been exhibited he brought it out and it proved to be part of the original Housatonic railroad. This was as inter- esting an exhibit as the day had afforded and nearly made the thought of the ex- hibit of cash fade to insignificance. To think that railway train ever ran on such old logs of wood with just a slight band of iron running along the top. 'Fhprn mt pno ne xuh hn risk our lives going to Bridgeport on such track in these days,n if we knew it. By this time it was getting late. The afternoon was spent (profitably spent) and much information was receiv- ed from MT Peck and his museum that had never been dreamed of before.
 HIS COLLECTION IS FAIRLY MARVELLOUS for what it is and what it may teach, and while we feel that this sketch but poorly portrays only small portion of it, or it's real worth, we also feel that it should be more widely known and his work more fully appreciated. MT Peck did not say anything about inviting people to call for we guess he knows that THE BEE is too good an advertising medium and his place might be besieged too soon, but we venture the remark that for those who are interested in such collection as he has gathered, if they drop in some quiet afternoon when MT and Mrs Peck are at home they will pass delightful hour and learn much of interest regarding the past that has never entered their head before.-[J Jay.

A CARPET WARMING

Easiest thing Tn the wor|C to get fooled on a carpe Depends on where you buy Seems funny, but a deale can roll out a second grad, Brussels c ar pet and say truthfully, '" This is Smiths best"
 But Smith s best" is |; technical name and Smith. extra" is better t h a T Smiths b t. Most oI our Brus e Is carpet i, Smiths extra" Only keep a few lower grades to show contrast.
 The usual advertising of Carpet names and prices has not only come to be mean, ingless, but actually snareful unless one has proven the re, liability of the concern with which they deal. Wish we had the space to picture the dejected faces of two women who came here last week, af- ter they had bought, to dis cover what2 How much too much they'd paid for poor carpet with a good name.
 Green-eyed envy may seek to turn our unmatchably low prices against the quality of our carpets, but actual trade turns all the evidence in our favor. We might go on in- definitely through all h e grades, showing how careful one should be to avoid the snarls and tangles of misrep- resented qualities.
 Take Moquette Carpets. When we say " Moquettes at o8c. a yard" we don't mean back-number pat t e rns or cross-eyed colors,Ebut latest spring styles from best looms.

COLOSSAL STATUE OF NERO

near by, the name was changed to the Colosseum. The structure was con- pleted by Domitian. The exterior was composed of three stories, and each story was composed of so arches. The building was opened by games which lasted hundred days, in which 300 wild beasts were killed. The last ex- hibition left on record as taking place there was bull-ight held at the ex- pense of the Roman nobles in 1882. In the middle ages the Roman princes used it as quarry in the erection of their palaces, and one of the popes endeavored to transform it into woolen factory {; the wonder, then, about the Colosseum is, not that you do not see more of it to- day, but that any of it remains. It cov- cred three acres of ground and more than 100000 people frequently packed it's piled-up galleries.
 Our party followed the guide in eager haste from point to point as he told us of the great c0mbats that had taken place here. In that arena we plainly saw the Christian martyrs brought forth to be torn to pieces by savage beasts, and the galleries above filled with the refnement and culture of Rome, elegant ladies and radiant-cheeked maidens in their midst, looking on to glut their fierce desire for the sight of human blood. Ah there was the scene before us, though pity would fain draw the veil of concealment around, of the lions cruel paw rending limb from limb 1.-the body of some pure, sweet girl, whose uplifted eyes pleaded not in vain to Heaven for mercy, finding none upon the earth.

 was where Mark Antony made his speech to the populace; and here the body of Julius Caesar lay" "Right here'' is granite porch six or eight feet above the rocky floor of the Forum. And then our guide with the blood of the true Roman flowing in his veins mounts the ruined rostrum, and with animated gesture and voice tremulous with emotion begins, while the Fries landers' listen attentively, and at the conclusion give thunderous applause, forgetting for the while that it is the Lords day:
 Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me

 l come to bury Cesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft inferred with their bones"
 Through the Forum ran the Via Sacra, or Sacred Way. Along this we strolled and passed under the Arch of Titus, and by this act in plain manner showed that we were not lineal descendants of Abra- ham, father of the faithful. For who could expect Jew to walk beneath that arch which is sculptured with the story of the destruction of his own beloved city, Jerusalem, once the joy of the whole earth. We cannot expect this, for the Jews never have walked under this arch, and never will.
 And now we come to che grandest ruin in the world, the stately Colosseum. To-day it is the most colossal ruin that remains, though two-thirds of the origi- l nal structure are gone. AS we are pass

 Mir Peck thinks he has the first lock that was ever brought inlo Newtown, and 1t ia probable he will not be dis puted by those who see 1t, but it is real ly too bad there ever was first one, for perhaps Newtown people would have al- ways remained too honest to need locks if they hadn't been introduced for them to try to break. And, too, he has 8 num- Der of venerable looking pocketbooks belonging to noted Newcomers, which have done service in hoarding quite 8 little pile of wealth. There is still one relic of that before mentioned famous band, left, and MT Peck has it. It ia the base horn MT Prindle blowed so hard on, but he didn't "bust 1t, and 1t is proba- ply the only instrument that survived the shock of the band and is in exist ence now,

 Sunday afternoon-I should have pre- ferred to stay at the hotel and rest; but sightseeing is business in which all the calendar days are the same -our party followed a guide among the ruins of Rome. Rome is 8 composite, ancient and modern, old and new, ruin and splendor, progress and decay, mingled in strange contrast. iHere is the Colosse- um, the noblest ruin in the world a stone's cast distant is g block of stately buildings rivaling the business blocks of New York.
 As we walk along modern street, with rabble of the curious at our heels, we look down into depression some 20 feet below. That is the Roman Forum, the great gathering place of Rome's elite and common folk in the long cen- turies gone by. In the time of Rienzi, ssthe last of the Romans, 7 it was grave !; and only recently it has been excavated, and there is much yet beneath the debris. A few graceful pillars, some marble porches, some brick-walled rooms of the Vestals, 3 few pedestals and sculptures, these are all of the Roman Forum that you see; but he Is indeed tame and dull of imagination who fingers here.
