INN SHoWRoOMS.
They Were the Forerunners Of the
Public Museums,

They Were the Forerunners Of th-
Public Museums.
The genesis of the public mu-
scum was the "raree show" attach
cd to an inn. Such shows we're
very common as early as the six
teenth century. From being the
yesort of al classes the inn became
the natural receptacle for every
thing old world, out Of the way or
curious. ranging from flint imple-
ments and Roman coins turned up
by the pillow to stuffed freaks Of the
animal kingdom. The public house
museum is still with us. The Bell
and Mackerel, in the Mile End road,
contains fine museum of 10000
natural history specimens, original
ly founded by the East London
chronological society. The Hole
In the Hall, in Borough High
street, possesses many strange
freaks. At the Spaniards, Jack
Straw's Castle and the Vale Of
Health, all on or near Hampstead
Heath. are preserved relics Of high
waymen and other local curios.
Only a few weeks ago the museum
of the Edinburgh Castle, near Re
gents park. containing valuable
relics of Oliver Cromwell, Nelson
and Stanley and three great auk's
eggs, was dispersed by auction.
The first persons scientifically to
exploit this taste were those bold
travellers aud indcfatigable collect
ors the Tradescants, father and
son, who between the years 1920
and 1862 ran the first public mu-
scum and botanic garden at their
residence in South lambeth. Co
pious references to their wonderful
"closet of curiositics." also known
as the "Ark." arc found in the
works of lzaak Walton, Evelyn,
etc. The catalogue prepared by the
curator, Elias Ashmole, in 1856
testifcs to its containing superb
collection of coins and warlke in
struments. It's great treasure. how
ever. was a stuffed dodo from the
Mauritius. a bird extinct now over
200 years. OF course there was
some rubbish as well. The younge.
Tradescant was shrewd enough to
exchange anE.alleged dragons egg
for that of a rare bird from Turkey,
but he exhibited feather from the
phenix's wing, piece of the stone
of Diana's tomb and blood that
rained in the Isle of Wight in 1l77-
When John Tradescant, Jr.. died in
1862 long and bitter litigation en-
sued between the deceased's widow |
and Ashmole as to the right TO- in
herit the collection. Eventually the |
court of chancery decided in Ash
mole's favor, and he carried off the |
Tradescantian museum to form the |
basis of the Ashmolean at Oxford,
while Mrs. Tradescant was so cha
grined at her defeat that she
drowned herself in the pond of the |
botanic garden on April 3, 1878

Oliver optie,s Msthod.

Although of recent years the
books of the late William Taylor
Adams (Oliver Optic) have been to
large extent overlooked BY juve-
nile readers, there was a time when
the position he held among boy
readers was one of unchallenged su-
premacy. This was due to the fact
that his books won not only the in
terest of the boy, but the approval
of the parent. For the benefit of
the latter he always gave eight or
ten pages Of sound morality. To a
friend he once told Of his method ::
'My books are successful because
they are written according to def
mite formula. l am very careful to
put in the moral, and so the parent
is pleased. But l put it near the
end of the book, and | always warn
the boy that it is coming and where
it is coming. He knows that it be-
gins at page 324 and ends on page
332, let us say, and on page 333 he
can take up again the uninterrupt-
ed narrative. ."-Bookman.

NOT THE PITCHER,
But What IT HOLDS
Showing That Outside Appearances Are
often DeceitfuI And Sometimes 4
Misleading.

Akuba, the great Babylonian poet,
said; Don't look on the outside of
a pitcher, but look on the inside
Sometimes you see the finest kind
of pitcher, at the highest price; but
look inside, and perhaps you will find
old, stale vinegar, absolutely worthless
and so strong it would make you
sneeze.
On the other hand, occasionally you
will see a rough, communicating old
vessel, but if you will look on the in
side of this vessel you will find it con-
tains the choicest refreshments, per-
fumes, and, perhaps, the rarest of
Jerusalem Olive oil.
When Akuba said Don't look on the
outside of a pitcher" literally speak
ing he did not refer to the vessel itself
or its commercial value, but the in-
trinsic value of its contents. Very
often you will see a man clad In rich
and costly raiment, but his heart and
character are bad; and again you win
see man clad in rags, but his heart
is tender and he is rich in charity ana
loving-kindness
The words of the great poet remind
me of my little store, which does not
appear so nice on the outside, but step
inside and you will find the finest and
most select varieties of fruits, candles,
cigars and tobaccos at the very lowest
prices, and you will be waited on with
the greatest care and politeness. Ther
/ it will make you think of the f1n<
things in the common pitcher7<16nu6a.

Man, at the Old York stand.
