GOULD, the author Of "The Tragedian,"
an interesting and clever memorial of the
elder Booth, says that in llamlet's sOlilo-
guy on suicide the great actor used to
read, "With bare bodkn who would far
dels bear" The change of text was bad,
but it was understood to be justified by
reference to the fact that bodkin, in semo
Iar's of England, denotes padded yoke,
A'ted 10 the nape of the neck, and used
for bearing burdens. The tendency to
torture Shakespeare's words, so as to get
strange, subtle, far fetched meanings out
of tbcm is nehing less than nuisance.
Ike following note from Mr.. Edwin Booth
appears in Dayton, Ohio, paper, refer
ring to this bodkin point:
DAYroN, ONO, April %, 1873.
DEAR Shiny father did not always
render the passage as Mr.. Gould gives 1t
in the book you referred to. 1t was one
OF his "conceits." There is no doubt,
however, as to the correctness of his state
nsnt in regard to the padded bodkin used
as the milkmen's yoke. Eve frequently
heard my father describe it as being car
RED by porters, etc., in some parts of Eng
land during his boyhood. | refer to the
bodkin merely as q small dagger.
Truly yours, EDWIN BOOTH.

it impermeablc to moisture, without
making it stiff and liable to break
Soft soap is to be dissolved in hot wa
ter, and solution Of sulphate of iron
added. The sulphuric acid combines
with the potash of the soap, and the
oxide of iron is precipitated with the
fatty acid as insoluble iron soap. This
is washed and dried, and mixed with
linseed oil. The addition of dissolved
India rubber to the oil improves the
paint.

Parental CRUELTY. One day recently
n respectfully dressed man carried Il
well-srown child, mutfed up and appar-
emily sick, into Frenchs Hotel. He
placed the child on the stairs and be-
gan to talk to it in very unkind, rough
way. The attention of the guests was
attracted and they gathered around
"You are able to walk up stairs by
YOURSELF the man said, and I will
not carry you"
"Oh, oh, the child sobbed, do car
" me up; please, pa, do. You know
ever since / was run over by the car
and lost both my feet l can't walk up
stairs alone"
That's all stuff, the man answered.;
" get up at once, or I'll wake YOU"
The poor child began to sob worse
than before, and the brutal man gave
it q severe thumD on the side of the
head. The child moaned piteously.
The Indignation of the by-standers was
excited, and one of them said to the
man, " Is that child yours?"
What's that to you?' the man an
swered; Il won't tell you!'
IIt lily tHC CIllltt

er--jnst'-as- he going to kill -

The man doubled his fist and made
rs though he was aboutto give the child
IL savage blow. One of the by-stand-
crs interfered, and said: Say, if you
don't stop this II call policemen. l
never saw such Il brutal father in all my
life.
The man began to tumble in his
pockets, and the child cried out.
- Take care he's got knife. He's go
ing to stick YOU"
Sure enough the man produced u
knife and opened it. The crowd slipped
out one by one, except two.
Bring an officer" one of them
cried to friend.
If l am arrested" the man said,
" it shall be for something" and there
upon he plunged the knife into the body
of the child. The child shrieked,
I'm murdered" and crowd rushed
to the spot. The man quietly raised
the child in his arms, and removing
his hat, said, Gentlemen, this is a
wooden child. I'm ventriloquist, any
little offering you may be pleased to
make will be very acceptable. ~. Y
