How the Concordance to Shakespeare
was Written,

Like so many great things, it owed
its genesis to mere accident 1t was
in July, 1923, when Mrs. Cowden-
Clarke was sitting at the breakfast
table of some friends in Somersetshire
that regret was expressed that there ex-
listed no concordance to Shakespeare.
Eager in everything, Mrs. Cowden-
Clarke resolved then and there that she
would write this desired concordance;
and that very forenoon, while joining
her friends in a walk through the fields,
she took with her a volume of the poet
and pencil, and jotted down the first
lines of her book under b. Boat
swain, have care" Temp. l., l, etc.
The following is an account she gave
me of the mode of writing she ulti-
mately adopted for this work. @ had
a separate portfolio for each letter of
the alphabet; these portfolios were
ranged round in front of me on my
writing table. L opened my fathers
copy of Shakespeare at my side, having
two pages in view at time. l took
the first word that presented itself at
the top of the first page 1--WE will sup
pose this word to begin with "a y and
entered each word commencing with
the same letter on the manuscript page
which was headed by the word, and
placed it in its respective portfolio;
going thus alphabetically through the
whole of the two spread-open pages
until every salient word therein was
duly culled and registered. generally
worked from four to six hours per day,
and always, before and after breakfast,
till dinner time; so that the outside of
the house during those hours was little
known to me, and we usually took our
exercise and recreation of an evening
Happy-supremely happy-were the
hours them Side by side, one working
at his book, the other writing his lee
lures on our poetic idol" When she
had got half way she was told that
some other person was engaged on the
same task. Sadly, very sadly, she
packed up all her portfolios and mate
rails, resolved to abandon the task,
thinking, with native modesty, that
the unknown rival would surely do
it better She told me that to this day
she can recall her feelings while kneel-
ing on the floor and pushing away the
large packet under her bed for safe keep
ing, for they lived in small quarters then
and space had to be economical JOY
full, very joyful, was she when she
learned the rumor was unfounded and
she could haul her packet forth again.
Some idea of the vastness of the under.
taking may be gained from the circum-
stance that the paper alone required fol-
the work cost over e5.-The ArgoSy.

The Great Park at Toxic.

We wandered ecstatic through the
great park in the Shiba quarter, where
images of Buddha sit enthroned in gor-
geous temples, and mikados and sho-
guns lie at rest in their magnificent
tombs, surrounded by hundreds of
stone and bronze votive lanterns erected
by faithful retainers. Gold and lacquer,
carving, inlaying and color do all that
art can to make the temple fronts and
interiors gorgeous, and golden Budd-
has, sitting in dusky shadows and en-
shrined among tall lotus flowers and
gilded trophies, leave one memories of
splendors indescribable. Bootless and
shoeless we trod the softly-matted floors
of the priests houses, and slid care
fully along the temple floors of ancient
lacquer that reflected like mirrors the
wonders overhead and on every side.
The clear, soft notes of temple bells
rang in long vibrations through the
shadowy, gold-lined sanctuaries, and
great Buddha's benign image smiled
from his lofty throne in every niche;
walls of laquer and strange carvings,
ceilings of cedar, of gold, of tortoise
shell carried the eye upward to them
and the friezes of birds, fruits and
flowers surrounding them. Over long
stone-paved court-yards, past mortised
stone fences, covered with natures
rich inscriptions of lichens, through
groves and leafy arcades, and past
ponds filed with the sacred lotus, we
followed the attendant priest of the
several shrines for hours unwearied.
The temples and the tombs were be-
widering in their number and magnifi-
cence, and one could wander for DAYS
through the labyrinths at Shiba with
out eXhausting the wonders of the sa-
cred enclosure. Except for ourselves
and the priests, there were no others
about the temple, and without worship
ers before the images the place seemed
deserted and out of the world entirely.
Lone ravens croaked in the tree-tops
like sinister agents of some great ma
gician who might have evoked the
scene, and when we stepped through
one gorgeous dragon-guarded gateway
after another, and saw more splendid
temples standing against lofty back
grounds of forest-green, like gems in
an emerald setting, it all seemed more
as though we were roaming in an en-
chanted forest than walking in an
everyday world,-St. Louis Globe Dem

Thought He was MOrtalIy Wounded.

Some of the scenes in the flight of
General Towards men that evening
were extremely ludicrous. Officers as
well as men totally lost their self-con-
troll, and did as absurd things as their
men. The major of Pennsylvania
regiment came through the bush with
the panic-stricken fugitives. He held
the rein in one hand, and, crowding to
well up with the other hand When he
halted in place of safety he was as
pale as death, and his countenance
betrayed intense agony-that of a man
badly wounded. His legs were in
cased ia leather boot-tops to the hips
almost, style of dress affected by a
class of officers at that period of the
war, but which, as soon as Grant came
in, was generally discarded. An army
surgeon-an old acquaintance - first
recognized the agonized officer, and
several ran to help him dismount. His
first exclamation through his clenched
teeth was that his leg was shot off and
that he would die as sure as the world.
He was gently helped out of the saddle
and laid on his back on the ground I'M
der the branches of large tree. An
attendant took hold of the boot-heel.
and, fearing to give unnecessary pain,
drew the great mass of leather and oil
cloth off the foot and leg as gently as
possible. He then raised it to arms
length reversed, and out of it rolled the
bullet, unbroken and unbruised. The
pants of the wounded officer were in
tact, and not a bruise even could be
found on the skin anywhere. The
touch of the spent ball on his leg at the
moment it passed through the leather
and there stopped produced a sensa-
ton which, with the panic of the broken
troops, excited the Imagination of an
otherwise brave officer and confirmed
him in the belief that he had been NOR
tally wounded. 1t was many days be-
fore he heard the last of his escapade
and il did not finally pass into oblivion
among his many associates until he
was seriously and really injured in
subsequent Observation-Disclosures o.

Questions Answered.

NJ. ID. c., Hanover, n. H.-If your
attorney is dead or disbarred from prac-
tice. or if he has neglected your case for
over year, you can employ another at
torney to complete your claim for a
pension.
II. M. H., Bridgeport, Conn.-We
could not prosecute a pension claim for
widow who could not give the COM
pany or regiment in which herhusband
served. We once undertook a Widows
claim where she could only give the
state for which he served. We caused
the records of all the soldiers of that
state to be examined and found six
soldiers who bore the name of her hus-
band, and the applicant could not even
then tell which was her soldier boy"
S. M. p, Lebanon, n. H.-If you
could give the name of the regiment to
which the surgeon belonged, perhaps
we could give you his address. AS
there were one hundred eighteen regi-
ments of United States colored infantry,
with two or more surgeons to each, it
would be impossible to give you the in
formation you want. If the attorney
wilfuly retains in his possession testi-
mony that ought to be filed in your
claim in the pension office, it would be
a sufficient ground for change of
attorneys.
r. NJ, Danville.-The war depart
ment officials would not inform you
who the youngest soldier in the Union
army was. 1t would involve the eX-
animation of the records of nearly three
million men to make such a statement
with any degree of accuracy, and be-
sides, nearly all the men who were
under eighteen years of age were placed
on the record at that age, as the army
regulations forbade the enlisting of any
man under the age of eighteen years.
You will never have the satisfaction
probably, of knowing who our youngest
soldier was or where he belonged.
A. II. H., Brattleboro The Union
Veteran Army will renew its efforts be.
fore the next congress to have law
passed giving the soldiers of the last
war land warrants. Soldiers are now
entitled to the amount of land that the
new act would give them, but the pro
posed law would not require settlement
and occupation of it, as now This law
would give the same benefit to the
soldier who resides a long distance
from the government land as to those
who reside near it. The soldiers OF
New England would therefore be more
benefited by such law, as many of the
soldiers who reside in the West have
already received their land and coult
not receive more under the new law
The amount of land given is one hun
dred sixty acres, valued at $3.50 al
acre.

The Music of MY Home.

The music Of the nightingale
That MARBLES sweet and clear,
His wooing to the dewy flower
That blooms and bushes near,
is sweet to hear Mt eventide
While shadows softly creep;
But sweeter is the lullaby
That my young wife sings tenderly
To soothe our babe to sleep.
I've heard the greatest music
OF every land and cline
I've heard the prima- donnas,
The wonder of their time,
have listened, all enraptured,
To their music grand and high
But they never gave such Joy to me,
No music half so sweet can be
As mothers lullaby.
love the music of the brook
That purs through woods and meads,
The cataract's wild harmonies,
And the wind among the reeds,
And the carols of the morning birds;
But they're not so sweet to me
As when, at even, hand in hand,
My children sing the Happy Land"
Beside their mothers knee.
I've heard the grandest choruses
OF old cathedral choirs;
I've heard great oratorios,
I've heard the singing Tyres;
But more love the simple strains
That haunt me while roam
The mothers grooming lullaby,
The children's merry roundelay,
The music of my home. Selected
