The Best Way to Read History.

Perhaps the best way to read
history is to take up the life of
some figure that attracts our
imagination, and be drawn by
that into the study of the gen.
eral stage upon which he was
only a single actor. Certainly
it is not good plan to begin
with those elaborate documen-
tary histories in which you can
not see the word for the trees.
1t is better to be wrong in a
few of your facts, or even con-
tract a bias from some partisan
historian. than to lose Yourself
in a morass of documents. The
best histories are the widest.
If they occasionally lead you
astray, you can always correct
them by the more sober.colored
chronicles. Macauley may have
been prejudiced, and so may
Froude and so. undoubtedly,
was Carlyle; so again, was
Gibbon; yet, none the less,
these are the great historians,
the historians who set upon the
peaks of time, and enable you
to see history as if lies beneath,
in wide views and broad masses.

with which the city Of today is shown on It.
Amy one acquainted with the city can
readily appreciate the accuracy with which

Beside this model is another of similar
dimensions, changed to show the mall and

will appear from every point of view.
Not the least of the interesting features
OF the plan Is the proposition to have on
