THE VATICAN MUSEUM.
One Can There SEQ Rome ut It's Best and
at Its Worst.

at Its Worst.
The walk through the museum Is Ger.
ealnly one Of the most wonderful In the
world. There are more masterpieces per
haps in Florence; possibly objects of great
Or value may be accumulated In the Brit
ish museum. though that Is doubtful. But
nowhere in the world are statues and an
Equities SO we'll arranged as In the Vati-
can, and perhaps the orderly beauty Of ar
rangement has as much TO do as anything
else with the charm that pervades the
whole. One is brought into direct commu-
nication with Rome at its best, brilliant
with the last reflections of Hellenic light,
and again one .s 5roush: into contact with
Rome at It's worst, and beyond It's worst
In Its decay and destruction. Amid the
ruin, too, there Is the visible sign of new
growth In the beginning of Christianity.
from which new power. new history.
a new literature and a new art were 70
spring up and blossom, and in the rude
sculpture of the Shepherd, the Lamb and
the Fishes lies the origin of Michael An.
gelo's Moses and Pieta.
There, too one may read as In book
the whole history of death in Rome. grav-
en- In the long lines of ancient inscrip-
tions, the tale of death when there was no
hope and its story when hope had begun
in the belief in the resurrection of the
dead. There the sadness of the sorrowing
Roman contrasts with the gentle hopeful
ness of the bereaved Christian, and the
sentiment and sentimentality Of mankind
during the greatest of the worlds develop
ments are told in the very words which
men and women dictated to the stonecut-
ter. To those who can read the inscriptions
the impression of direct communication
with antiquity is very strong For those
who cannot there is still a special charm
in the long succession Of corridors, in the
occasional glimpses of the gardens, in the
cool magnifcence Of the decorations as
well as I'm the statues and fragments which
line the endless straight walls.
One returns at last to the halls, one lin
gers here and there to look again at some
thing one has liked, and in the end one
goes out, remembering the place rather
than the objects it contains and desiring to
return again for the sake of the whole sem
sation one has had rather than for any de-
fined purpose.-F. Marion Crawford in
Century.
