1.— A TAXIDERMIST’S SANCTUM. 
THE PROPEIETOK AT WORK. 
Figure by J. W. Hendley. 
To most people the workroom of a taxidermist is in itself a curiosity shop. Until 
the preparateur is seen at work in his sanctum, suiTounded by the paraphernalia 
of his art and specimens in process of treatment, the visitor can onlj^ wonder 
what the actual work is like. A taxidermist’s shop is for work, and not for 
visitors, and only the chosen few are admitted to the presence of half-mounted 
birds and beasts. Since it is impossible to take all our visitors to our work- 
rooms, we bring one of our woi'krooms to them. The presiding genius is 
“ at home” to all comers, but he turns a deaf ear to all the questions which the 
average visitor would press upon him.
