To this noble speech of Shy lock. Antonio re-
piled mesnly and insultingly. His own words
show that he j. essentially a biyot and per-
secutor. He was indeed kind to those OF his
own household of faith, but tyrant to those
who differed from him. Shylock. in spite of
his faults, was grand character. He was
true as steel to his home and friends The
speaker quoted Shylock's famous and well
known speech containing the words, Hath not
a jew hands, organs, dimensions. senses, af-
fections, PASSIONS and said that it reveals the
massive grandeur of Shylock's character.
In the trial scene Shylo shows himself in

seems TO think that Shylock has. with her, a
common humanity. 1t would have been a
pleasant ending of the drama. if Shylock had
relented ON hearing Portals eloquent words but
unfortunately it would not have been true to
human nature. 1t takes as long TO tear an evil
down, as 1t did TO build it up and perhaps
longer. The persecution of Shylock is only
one example of the wrongs of ret;,ious ;n,oI
erance. Religious persecution has ever been
at work in the world and the end is not vet.
The speaker described very infinitely the
various phases which it has passed through,
always lessening in severity as one phase sue
ceeds another. Differences in religious opinions
are never good reason for persecution or for
the Withholding of fellowship; but it would
be great calamity il all people should think
alike. II want" said the speaker, mo man to
think as do, but every man to think for him.

A Gallo Genius.

The laws regulating the transmission
of mail between countries embraced in
the postal union have heretofore ex-
cluded packages exceeding eighteen
inches, or forty-fve centimeters, in
length, but will hereafter admit pack
ages of about twenty-seven inches, or
seventy centimeters. in length. The
way the change came about is explained
in circular just received at the post
Office from the superintendent of for
eign mails. A French publisher. wish
ing to send to his subscribers fashion
plates, about seventy centimeters in
length. was told that they could not
be received in the foreign mail. Seek
ing to keep his engagements with his
patrons, however, he cast about for
some way to relieve his difficulty, and
knowing that packages not exceeding
forty-five centimeters. or eighteen
inches, in length would be received.
hit upon the following expedient: BY
making paper box in the shape Of a
cube, having each of the lines of its
squares just forty-five centimeters in
length he could place his fashion plate
roll within the box, the roll being
placed diagonally touching the bottom
and top of the box. A great number
Of paper boxes eighteen inches square
threatening to cram the French mail
bags to bursting. the government de-
termined to take the seventy-centime-
ters-long rolls instead of the boxes. ask
ing the other countries in the union to
receive these rolls, until an interna
tionsl congress can change the law:
relating to the length of parcels. The
change contemplated, and which the
United States foreign mail Office ha.
now sanctioned, permits the mailing Of
rolls that can be contained in cubes
the sides of which do not exceed forty.

THE PARROTS TALK.
How 1t Fixed UP Things Between
Rachel and Jacob.

This true story comes from an old sea-
board town in Maine:
Jacob loved Rachel, but Rachel wouldn't
have him. Jacob labored on, pressing his
anti at intervals, and after each rebuff tell
ing her he was bound TO win her yet, and
convince every one she cared for him as
much as he believed in his heart she did.
"yery wen,' cried the indignant Rachel,
with toss of her head, keep right on till
you make folks believe that, and when you
do I'll marry you'll"
Jacob did persevere, but with small sue
cess, and at last began to lose courage.
About this time another sutton OF RachePs
arrived home from sea, bringing with him,
among other exotics, parrot OF gorgeous
hue which he presented to Rachel, who
forthwith had the bird suspended from the
sitting room window, whence she looked out
afternoons when her work was done. For
| a day or two after his elevation to this dig
nity the carrot remained marvelously quiet,
only casting an eye about as If taking in his
new situation. On the third mernIng, how
| ever, no sooner did the neighbOrs begin to
| stir than he electrified each passer-by with
the announcement:
"Rachei's gone ON Jacob; no chance fol-
John!'
OF course, the more laughter this raised
the more viciferously the bird proclaimed
the news. 1t spread like wildfre, and the
parrots audience steatily increased. Ra
chel. meanwhile, went into Mysteries, but
however much this incommoded the family
! it made no impression on the parrot, who
although threatened and beaten and rele
| gated to darkness, waxed more and more
furious with desire to spread his knowledge
