curios are also arriving by almost every 

 train and mail. 



Mr. Latlin still keeps as a relic an old 

 thread case with three drawers, which in 

 1881 coQtained all of his specimens. It 

 forms aa icterestiag contrast to the large 

 buildings which are now required to house 

 his specimens, and the contrast is a vivid 

 example of what can be accomplished by 

 patience and perseverance.
