The Folklore OF Shakespeare.

Shakespeare, despite all that the com
mentators, doctors, lawyers, ornitholo-
gists, entomologists, botanists, and
other specialists find, or pretend to
find, in his work, was anything but a
man of learning He knew small
Latin and less Creek" and he had but
smattering of Fronch. Even of En-
ghsh literature, other than what was
contemporary, he was no profound stu
dent, though he seems to have read
with some attention both Chaucer and
the older chronicles. But if he had
little learning, he had much knowledge
His mind assimilated the very marrow
of the books he read, and, above all,
seized upon what was likely to be SER
viceable to him in his profession of
playwright. His genius was not the
predominance of faculty, but the pre-
dominance of oil faculties. lie is as
accurate rs he is keen observer
whether concerned with a country Gus
tom or legend, with craftman's detail,
with fact OF ma ure, or with mental
or emotional phase. In especial, he is
never dihuse. Eliminating from his
plays some portions addressed to the
gallery, scarcely u line will be found
not bearing upoa tine development of
the action of the drama. With tie
richest imagination and "A boundless
fertility, he is hardly tenn Dted to use
on extravdgant epithet, or to resort to
an oyerstrained metaphor or All un-
necessary illustration. One secret of
his power, indeed, is the might sug-
gested by his sobriety. With all this.
he is passing sweet. The commonest
facts of human experience, in Their
passage through his BRAN, are trans
muted, rs in an alemb:c, into pure
gold. OF this, the mode III which h.
deals with the folklore, with the com
mon knowledge, superst ton, ana tradi-
ton OF the time, rs most striking
proof. Folklore is not in itself poeti-
cal, though it may come to appear so
as civilization removes men further
from its origin. OF the materials that
lay to Shakspeare's hand, the contem-
porary folklore was among the COM
monest. But it was abundant and
varied, and full of potential poa try,
which his genius unfolded in adapting
it to his purposes. For an unlearned
public, no better illustrations could be
drawn than from such source. 1t is
partly on this ground, partly by reason
of the scantiness of his own learning,
that Shakespeare, who was trou led
by no such consideration of quasi
classical dignity rs hampered the
French dramatists of succeeding age,
has so extensive and unexampled use
of the folklore current in his day.

BOYS Again,

1t is related of the late Judge Black
that in 1857, just after he was appointed
Attorney General of the United States,
he was staying at the Aston House, in
New York. Scores of leading politi-
clans called upon him. One day, a
small, gray-haired mn arrived at the
hotel, and registered himself as Judge
j. Williams, Iowa. On seeing the
name of Judge Black on the book, he
took card and wrote: "The Supreme
Judge of Iowa presents his conpli-
ments to the Attorney General of the
United States"
He sent this up to Judge Blacks room,
together W til half-sheet of paper on
which he had written:
o Jerry. dear jerry I've found you az last
And IN mOry, burdened w tn scenes The past,
Ret rms to old Somers is IN un aims OF r ow,
When you were bit Jerry and was bu. Joe
In less than three minutes the great,
digni I'd Judge Black was coming down
the stairs. two steps ut time, with the
little bell-boy in close pursuit.
Two old school-mates and low stu
dents were together after separation of
some thirty years. Two old men en-
braced each other, and neither was able
to utter word. Both have passed
away and no better representatives of
the AmeriC an bar that have sprung from
humble origin can be found in Ameri-
can history.

An Indian Girls Romance.

She was California Indian, proba-
bly, of the Tulares, and migrated to
Oregon W tn her family thirty years
ago. She was then q young girl, and
said TO be the handsomest squaw ever
seen in Oregon. In those days white
men in wildernesses thought it small
shame, if any, to ttke Indian women to
live with them as wives, and Lucy was
much sought and wooed. But she
seems to have had uncommon vir ne or
GOODNESS, for she resisted all such ap-
proaches for long time.
Finally man named Pomeroy APP
peared, and, as Lucy said afterward AZ
soon as she looked ut him she. knew he
go with him. He had small sloop,
and Lucy became his mate. The two
alone ran it for several years up and
down the river. He cstablishe / little
trading pos. and Lucy always took
charge of that when h went TO buy
goods. When gold was discovered at
Ringgold bar Lucy went there, worked
with rocker like a man, aud washed
ont hundreds of dollars worth Of gold.
all Of which she gave to Pomeroy. With
it he built q fine schooner and enlarged
his business, tho faithful Lucy work
ing always at his side and bidding. AZ
last, af er eight or ten years I've grew
weary OF her and OF the country, and
made up Iii mind TO go to Cal fornia.
But he had not the heart to tell Lucy
he meant 60 lcnve her. The pilot who
told mo this story was at thai tune cap

What We Have Learned from Animals.

1t is favorite theory OF some that
animals are i'm .tative, and what man
does they try to perform. Possibly
man learned first from the ANIMALS.
Many animals are born armed and
weaponed boJn for offense, ca ture, and
defense when attacked or pur sued.
The gorillas of Africa fought the sol
diers OF Hanno, and ai.es lse hand
stones to crack nuts. In the days Of
Strabo, that historian tells us that
Indian monkeys climbed mountains md
rolled stones down on their pursuers.
Take throwing, for example. Ihe
primitive man learned it from beasts.
The squid (cuttieiish) defends itself
by discharging its Ink-bag. imbedded
III the liver, and escapes in the black
ened water. The toxotes or archer
brings down insects with n drop Of
water when they are three or four feet
high in the air. The archer fish of
Japan Is kept In glass jar and fell by
holding flies ut the eud Of rod few
inches from the surface of the water,
and it never fails to hit them. The
llama or guanaco throw their acriI and
fetid saliva some distance and with ac-
curate aim. Men would learn to strike
by watching the blow OF the bear, and
the kick OF those animals which defend
themselves by kicking, as the horse,
zebra, camel, and giraffe, while the
ostrich, eagle. aud larger birds Of prey
would teach him lesson in assault ng
with ready wings. The whale raises
its head with such force that it nus
sunk whaler. Combats of goats,
stays, butfaloes, aud wild bulls, oil of
which rush forwa d with their heads
down and drive their horns into their en-
emy's body, would suggest thrust.
The bittern, the peacock, I'd the AM
erican white crane stab at the eve.
Aud the rhinoceros, the fiercest of any,
when angered his horn becomes hard
and erect, and, diving beneath the
canoe, he pierces a hole in the bottom
and sinks 1t, and with the same weapon
attacks and rips open the huge aud un-
calmly elephant. The pheasa and
partridge, the cock and quail, would
su ygest, with their spurs, tae use of the
poniard. Pliny says that dolphins
which enter the Nile have u knife-edged
spur on their backs to protect them
from crocodiles. The bullhead fish
has q many barbed horn on its dorsum
which must have taught the Esqu maux
and savages OF South America and
Australia the use of their spears.
Poisoned dagger-makers t. ok q hint
from the st.ng-fsh, or adder pike.
whose dorsals and spines have double
grooves, in which poisonous score
ton is found. The sting-rays twist
their long slender Ia Is round their en-
emy and cut tie Surface, infiicting
wound not easily healed. The sting
sometimes breaks off the wound.
The FIJI Islanders, the Samoans. and
Tahitians use this poison extensively.
These things in amin is would suggest
the poisoned dagger with which the
Italians Of the middle ages were SO
handy. Enquirer.

Mary Clcniner.

By her profound conviction Of its
moral gnificance, Mary Clemmer has
ennobled journalism. Requested to
write the poem for the New York Press
Association at It's meeting in 1881, she
responded with her poem entitled "The
Journalist" i'll which these stanZas
occur:
Eyalt thy calling! On its spotless shield
Wi truth, write honor, valor, first aud last.
Crayens may clutch thy stars, and thou not
yield:
Love taen, and hold them FAST
Thus Greeley wrote in fresh. heroic youth;
Thu. Mar gareJ Ful eT W ote her way To power !:
Thus Bo"les -unvanqulsncd RI reign or ruth
Went down in manhoods flower.
Thus Curtis writes--carc Sidney of tho pen
O'ReiJey sims and G0dkin draws his steel;
Thus 81 hurZ his .ghest DuOr takes again
10 wlise the truth we feel.
Defender of the PEOPLE, of the state.
hNIdler and quickener OF majestic thought
Sure OF the nnest triumph. thou canst wait
The crown thy y thence wrought
To serve thy generation, this thy fate:
"WriDteu IN WAGER" swift v fades thy name,
But he who loves his KIND docs, nfst and late,
A work 700 gr1at for fame.

known as n specialist In reform, she liz
relied upon a. potent force III general
adv ncement. BY temperament she is
too much the artist TO have the aggres-
sive instinct of fitting a lance on all
occasions; yet, when the cause appeals
to her moral power, she has the full
courage of her convictions. Those who
are aiding the cause of political enfran-
CHI sement of women; those who are
consecrating their lives to temperance,
to philanthropy, find in Mrs. Hudson
not only the sympathizer and the helper
but the insp rer. To her the Life is, in
deed, more than meat, and the need of
one humble human heart is, to Mary
Clemmer- Hudson, more than the fame
or applause of the world.

Henry Claws Fortune.

Ben: Perley Poore says in his remin-
sciences: Henry Clay was pronounced
insolvent by his Kentucky opponents
in 1912, and they paraded some mort
cages on his property Us evidence OF his
inability to pay his debts. In letter
to friend, denying this calumny, Mr..
Clay said: am not free, absolutely,
from debt. l am not rich / never
coveted riches. But my estate would,
even now, be estimated at. not much
less than $l00,0 900. Whatever it may
be worth, it is q qualification TO me to
know that it is the product of my own
honest labor, no part OF it being hered-
itary except one slave, who would
oblige me very much if he would accept
his freedom. II is sufficient, after pay
ing all my debts, to leave my family
above want if [ should he separa. Il
from them. 1t is q matter also of con-
ISOLATION to me to know this wanton OK
pos,re of my private affairs can do me
no pecuniary prejudice. My few cred
itors wrll not allow their confidence in
me to be shaken by il. 1t has, indeed,
led to one incident, which was ut the
same time source of pleasure and of
pain. a friend lately called Oh me, at
the instance of other friends, Snd in
formed me that they We're spprehensiye
that my private affairs were embar-
raised, and that allowed these embar-
easements to prey upon my mind. He
came therefore, with their authority
to tell me that they would contribute
any sum that | might want TO relieve
me. Tho emotions which such q prop
osition excited can be conceived by
honorable men. / felt most happy to
be able to undeceive thenl, and to de-
cline their benevolent proposition

What would Wa do were it not for the
cranksy How slowly the tired old
world would move d Il rot the cranks
keep it rushing along! Columbus was
crank on, the sub ect of American
.iiscov' ry and navigation, and at last he
met the fate of most cranks, was
brown into prison. and died in poverty
and disgrace. Greatly venerated now?
Oh, yes, Telemachus, we usually esteem
a crank most profoundly after We staIve
him to death. Harvey was crank on
o subject Of the circulation Of the
blood; Calico was an astronomical
crank; Fulton was crank Oh the sub
ect Of steam navigation: Morse was
telegraph crank. All the old aboli-
tionists were cranks. The Pilgrim
fathers were cranks; John Bunyan was
q crank; any man that doesn't think o.
you do, my son, is q crank. And, by
and by, the crank Won despise will have
his name in every mans mouth, and n
half completed monument to his
memory crunbling down in dozen
cities. while nobody outside of
your native village will know that
you ever lived. Deal gently with the
crank, my boy. OF course some cranks
are crankier than others. but do you be
very slow to snear at q man because he
knows only ono thing and you can't
understand him. A crank, Telemachus,
is thing that turns something, it
makes the wheels go round, it insures
progress. True it turns the same
wheel all the time, and it can't do any
thing else, but that's what keeps the
ship going ahead. The thing that goes
in for variety, versatility, that changes
its position hundred times day, that
is no crank; that is the weather vane,
my son. What? You nevertheless
thank heaven you are not crank?
Don't do that my son, maybe You
couldn't be crank, if you would.
Heaven is not very particular when it
wants a weather vane; almost any man
will do for that. But when it wants q
crank, my boy, it looks about very
carefully for the best man in the COM
nunity. Before you thank heaven that
you are not crank, examine yourself
carefully, and see what it is that debars
you from such an election. --Burlinq-
