came we arc told the first and most
valued item in the entire collection Of
over a thousand specimens.
An interesting collection IN relation
to articles OF wearing apparel was the
exhibition Of historical gloves in
Paris. There were ON Wow, TO the de-
light OF rellc-huntprs, gloves from the
time OF the Romans, also those worn
by a Greek lndy OF rank az a public
festival, besides old French and Eng
llsh gloves. Among the latter might
be noticed three pairs once worn by
Queen Elizabeth, which proved that
the hand OF good Queen Boss was any
thing but small one; IN iact most Of
the ancient gloves were remarkable for
their size. II would seem either that
gloves were much looser then, or else
that small hands are confined to mod
ern times.
Another more curious and interest-
ing exhibition IN Paris Is the museum
OF religions. In gallery Is exhibited
an admirable collection Of ocelesiastl-
cal vestments, while In other parts OF
the building are 10 be seen temples and

The curio Hunters Are busy the
world over.

We seem at present 10 be living In
an axe OF queer exhibitions and curious
collections, very interesting. doubtless,
to curiosity dealers and relic hunters.
Some mention was recently made of
the finding Of u jar containing rib
belonging TO daughter OF Charles l.
The present possessor OF the rtfic
speedily placed It on exhibition, IN
spite Of some protests from influential
quarters.
Another grim relic of the past is
said to have been discovered on farm

that OF an Iron cage In which the body
OF a notorious murderer was once kept
exposed on Its gibbet until 1t fell to
pieces. This ugly relic may be seen
IN Norwich Castle among the hideous
eNhibits OF iron collars, leg chains and
instruments Of torture used In the good
old times of English prisons
