Mike Finn, manager OF the

game for other occupations must
not be placed on the athletes

In Moravia, the capital of the negro

seat.

Glass Blowing an Ancient Art.

The art of glass blowing is also very
ancient and had an existence probably
1000 years before Christ. The art of
blowing is plainly depicted upon the
tumuli of Mastaba of lib at Memphis,
and these tombs were built more than
5000 years ago. In the picture upon
them the blower with tube in mouth,
just the same as the present day, is
seen squatted before his furnace, and
from the detail and perfection of
knowledge of the art evidenced in the
ancient pictures it is readily seen that
glass blowing was no new thing with
the people of that time and region.
The glass blower of that day made
vases, beads, ornaments and bottles.

than anywhere, you need the help of
selection and restraint. If you give
yourself up to the vergers they will tell
you all about the royal tombs. When
they have left you, think for moment
of my idea. Remember that the Abb
hey has been three things: First,
monastery; next, the royal church and
the tomb of many kings; and, then, the
grave of great men. AS to the first,
do not leave till you have seen the
cloisters, the chapter house, the under
croft and the chapel of the PyX, the
little clOister-and, If you are there on
Saturday, the hall of Westminster
school, which was the dormitory of the
monks. These things illustrate the
daily monastic life and are without
question the most picturesque thing
remaining of the middle ages. AS to
the next, the vergers will have shown
you the coronation seat, and the tombs
of the great kings, to that of Henry v
who fought at AgincOurt. AS to the
third, counsel you to see Poets Cor
ner--the. south TRANSCRIPTION its re-
minders of the men who have knit the
empire together in the poetry of com
mon speech.
What to See in the Tower.
You will go to the Tower. Here,
again, remember that the Tower has
been three things: a fortress, a royal
palace and a prison. The White Tow
err is the oldest complete building in
London. 1t was the keep. built by the
COnqueror to overawe the city. 1t
never was of the city, and bit of the
Roman wall here shows how the outer
boundary of the earlier city was over
run. See the Traitors gate, by which
prisoners entered the Tower and so
few left it; the site of the headsmaD's
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1918-03-15

block, the chambers in the Beauchamp
and the Bloody towers, where prison
ers left on the walls pathetic messages
of their long internment.
While in the city / should suggest
two other things at least to see-the
Guildhall and st. Bartholomew's
church-the former because of it's his
tOric connection with the city, as hall
that has been for 500 years the court of
justice, the meeting place of the cor
pOratiOn and the scene of historic
feaSts.
/ should ignore the houses of parlia-
ment, except as TO the outside, but do
not let the opinions of certain critics
rob you Of right appreciation Of this
modern work. See Westminster hall,
however, if you can, as the ancient
court of justice, and for it's magnificent
timber roof.
There yet remain, of the major in
situations, st. Paul's and the National
gallery. They are more easy to deal
with than Westminster or the Tower.
st. PauPS has no secrets as Westmins7
ter has. 1t is revealed at one view. To
have seen it. from outside is to carry
the memory of it's huge bulk and form
forever, and in the main that is true
of it internally. though a few minutes
can be spared for the tombs of Nelson,
Wellington, Lord Roberts and other
great soldiers. The National gallery,
too, is comparatively easy to see on the
principle of restraint.
One thing remains. DO not fail TO
walk the embankment from West
minister to Blackfriars, both for it's
river views and for the finest river
front Of buildings In the world.

- A
front, the following article
from Country Life ON How to See
London in Two Days" is. timely.
: In normal days, when American visi-
tors filled the hotels, sightseeing was,
in spite of American hustle, a fairly
leisurely thing. 1t is the soldiers who
are here today who have to be the real
hustlers. Their sightseeing has often
TO be crammed into a day or two's
leave, and the problem of how to see
all possible, and yet so to see as to
store up mental pictures, clear, definite
and full of color, on which to draw in
pleasurable restrospection for the rest
of life, is one which probably few of
them are solving.
Now, the secret of success in sight
seeing is discrimination and selection.
Try to see everything and you see
Notwithstanding Your thousand
impressions are mixed, in week they
are hard to disentangle, in year they
have vanished. On this principle l
throw out ideas for those who have no
more than a couple of days to give to
the work and the pleasure. On more
than one ground | should counsel the
giving up of at least half a day to out
door sightseeing. The hugeneSs of
London strikes everyone who gives
days to it's discovery. The best way of
getting the same impression quickly
is to travel from end to end of the
route of one of the great London lin
ers - the General motOrbuses. 1t
