From the publishers.
Here Is writer after our own heart,
namely one who has "a love and veneration
for shakespeare's immortal creations"
The present work, we regret to say, is only
published after the authors departure from
the world. Familiar during the greater
part OF his life with the Elizabethan litera-
ture, and keeping pace with the progress Of
late days; possessing pure taste, rare
talent for research, and liberal education,
his attention aud delight had been centered
on the era Of the great dramatic poet, and
so, with constant love and devotion re-
mained TO the end Of his earthly career. A
resident OF this city, he died here, recently,
at the age OF S5. Prof. s. ii. Siddons was
considered one OF the best Shakespearian
scholars OF our time; distinguished as an
author and an actor; admired and loved as
an accomplished gentleman; favorlte with
the brightest stars Of the stage. He was a
grandson Of the famous Mrs, Siddons.
The "shakespearian Referee,n which we
have carefully examined, appears TO us the
best work Of the kind extant; 1t is quite
satisfactory In many respects where other
such volumes are sadly deficient. Who
ever possesses the plays and loves the gentle
poet needs this "Refereen as a daily 'gulde,
philosopher, and friend.n
[NoTE,-Frequently we receive "sample

English Love of walking.


l was looking at number of English
tourists in Broadway, the other day,
while standing alongside of Ex-Governor
Osborn, of Kansas, who has just re-
turned from thad Ssition of minister to
Brazil, and h1tEaTn@ rived the apparent
strength and free movements of the
women of the party, when he said:
"Englishmen as a rule are magnificent
types of physical strength. They de-
Velop in that direction by cultiyating
the habit and fashion of exercise. Their
women walk a great deal, where ours
sit in close parlors and take little exer-
else. The English women travel great
deal. Scarcely a steamer comes to Rio
Janeiro that it does not land great
parties of travellers, both men and
women. They start out over the noun
tains on long pedestrian journeys to get
views of the beautiful bay of Rio and of
the mountain scenery.
81 saw criticism in a New York pa
per day or two ago on an English lord
who had a party of ladies on a trip
somewhere in this state, twelve miles
from their hotel, who missed the last
train and could only get back by rail by
paying $50 for a special train, but let
them walk back rather than pay so much.
I thought on seeing that, it was an even
chance that the women insisted on
walking back, that distance being moth
ing to an EngliShWoman."

Graves in madagascar.
Lieut.. Shufeldt.l

I passed many Sakalava graves
that are exceedingly curious. A square
post is erected over the grave of a chief
or over the family of one. Then the
various other families of the same tribe
consider it sort of good luck to make
a certain sort of sacrifice over the grave,
to insure the peace of the departed.
Three pointed stones are erected near
the chiefs tomb and a portion of a
bullock eaten. The bullock's skull is
then placed upon post, allowing the
hawks to cleanse it. In course of time
this post gets covered with skulls, and
the adjacent ground stuck full of
pointed stones. This queer practice
dates back many years.
We passed two men carrying
dead body sewed up tightly in straw
mating and slung lengthwise on pole;
seeing which our men shouted out
something in a loud voice, which meant,
go to the north! go to the north and
the body bearers shot off in another di-
rection. The idea is that the corpse
may have died of some contagious dis
ease. Bodies (as in this case are gen
orally followed by a large party of
mourners, who rend the air with their
cries and lamentations

For encaustic painting they used bees

beeswax candles and tapers in all the
ceremonies of their church, as well as
IN their professions. Manufacturers
of glazed, ornamental and wall papers
use quantities of beeswax, as also the
manufacturers of paper collars, cuffs,
etc.. for polishing surfaces. Wax is
used in paints and varnishes, and for
''stuffing" of wood to be polished for
flne coach work, pianos, furniture, and
parquette flowers. 1t is used by plas-
terers and electrotypers in forming
their moulds, and is also used as an inn
Portant ingredient in preparations for
covering the surface of polished iron

An accident in a foundry at Mel
bourne, Australia, has led to the dis
covery that the plunging of iron cast
ings, into a mixture of molasses ard
water softens the metal to such de-
gree that it can be punched, bored, or
tapped as easily as wrought iron. It is
not stated if the iron must be hot or
cold when treated to its bath of sweet
ened water, but we presume the point
can be settled without much trouble by
any one anxious to avail himself of the
discovery, which looks as if it will prove
to be far from the least valuable of those
that have been made in iron manu-
facture within few years past
