Lady MaCbeth.

BY James E. Murdoch.
. The traditional Lady Macbeth of
the stage has sought TO magnify her
own role and to dwarf that of her con-
cert. By this false Interpretation
| Macbeth is made q mere physical
coward, rather than a man whose
evil desires are for a time overcome
by the terrible phantoms OF his own
imagination; while Lady Macbeth is
transformed into q very fiend, who
matches murderous scheme and DULLES
her hus band into its eXecu ton. In JUS
tice to this wondrous character, ever
feminine, though for a time heart
scared by the scorching fire of ambi-
ton, let us remember that all she
does is for her husbands good.
She has read his heart; she knows
that the crown, and that only, can
safe its cravings. The prophetic
Gall hail hereafter" of the witches
seems to have stamped the sanction
of destiny on all that she does. She
acts as q minister of fate in
impelIing her husband to the
deed of blood. In the fell
counsel she gives, she seems akin |
10 one not "less than archangel ruin
ed and the excess of glory obscured"
Instead of the lofty ideal of Lady |
Macbeth sublime embodiment of
evil aiming at the acquisition of a
crown-we often see something that
may be said to suggest a melodra-
matte female at a wayside inn hold
ing the candle while her accomp-
lice cuts the throat of traveller for q
paltry pnrse. Lady Macbeth, while
her hus band is yet in indecision, says:
have given sucK, and know
How tender it's to love the babe that milks
me
would, while it was smiling in my face
Have plucked my nipple from his homeless
gums.
And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn,
as you
Have done to this.
This stern assertion of Lady Mac
Deth's determined will, as often given
IN the stage, not only shows her pow
,r to kill her own babe while draw
ng nourishment from it's mothers
breast, but exhibits also a
erocity capable of making a
1ecatomb of murdered infants. To
'uch nature 1t would be
10 sacrifice of sex to do the horrid
Iced; 1t would be work of savage
lelight. Shakespeare evident ly meant
hat the terrible threat should
;ome from nature not habitually
lard of heart, but capable of cruelty ]
,nly through force OF vow. This is
he ideal heroine. The only delinea- ,
ion shows no sacrifice of feeling; the
deed is copgenial to the
ealistic Grafton of the actress.

Suicides in China.

From American Notes and Queries.
Advices from China give an account
of curious suicide on large scale.
A number of young girls In Hong
Kong who had taken vows of libracy
and banded themselves in to an or
ganization called the Society of Pur-
ity. But one of the number was be-
thrOthed by her parents to young
man o: the town. Then the whole
band went off together and drowned
themselves in the river-an example
of female consistency and Solidarity
which is dreadful to think of. Yet
the story is undoubtedly true. Sui
eide is very frequent in China, and an
intending felo de SO finds it
easy to obtain companions. Thus
some years ago an accomplished
young lady OF Canton, who had
been unfortunately married to a coarse
and stupid hus band, was bewailing
her fate to q party of sisters and
female cousins, and declared her in
ten ton of committing suicide. On
this the young ladies' declared that,
since such was married life, they
would die, too; so the whole bevy of
them joined hands together, and
walking into fish pond deliberately
drowned themselves. Again, three
men, imprisoned in Hong Kong Jail
on charge of piracy, determined to
make away with themselves rather
than have the bother of trial. At
some height in the cell where they
were imprisoned was window guard
ed by two iron bars. From the posi-
ton in which they were found in the
morning, it would seem that the third
man had assisted the two others In
hanging themselves from the bars by
their queues; that then he had cut
down one of them by gnawing
through the queue with his teeth,
and using the dead body as a stool
to be afterwards kicked over, he had
contrived to suspend himself. And
all this had been done so quietly as
not to attract the notice of b sentinel
who was pacing outside the window.
A very curious series of suicides took
place In Shanghai IN 1869. The pa
rents of young lady, lately married,
fell into difficulties and applied to her
for assistance. Her hus band allowed
her to give them a coat to pawn.
The daughter, however, being
anxious to render further aid, without
the knowledge of her hus band, Sc
creted SIG in the pocket of the coat.
The old man did not discover this,
but took the coat to pawn broker,
who, noticing the money on untold
ing the garment, kept his own coun-
sci, and quietly advanced 8. Soon
after the husband discovered that
the daughter had given SIG to her
parents, and made so much noise
about it that the lady disposed of
herself by hanging. In this way the
news of the robbery committed by
the pawnbroker became known to
the parents, and the old mother took
the matter so much to heart that she
poisoned herself with opium. Late
ly, the pawnbroker, getting alarmed
on hearing that his dishonesty had
caused two deaths, drowned himself
in a well

Facts About rims.

New I OrK star.
L ran across Jan Jensen a few days
ago. He is one of the few Firms live
ing in this city, and has had pros
porous career during his thirty-years'
residence in the United States. He told
me he arrived here early in the '60s,
after having been shipwrecked upon
the Azores, and carried to this port
by an English brig bound here from
Lisbon. Shortly after his arrival
Mr.. Jensen took up farming, land has
amassed quite snug fortune from
tilling the soil. He is at present
visiting in New York, enjoying the
sights. He has Just returned from q
visit to his old home in Finland. In
speaking of those queer lnha bitants
of the Arctic zone, he said:
"There are perhaps not over 500
Firms in the United States, and not
over twenty in this city. They are q
hardy people. The majority of them
being sailors, they are enabled to
thstand almost any amount of
hardship. At present they are hav-
ing their own little troubles over
there.
1.-THE Finnish people are very tena-
cious of their history and institutions,
and submitted very reluctantly to
the supremacy of Russia. Although
they retained many special privileges
of local government, they have never
become perfectly reconciled to
it, and have always been fear
full that they would be robbed
of then privileges. They had visit
from the czar while / was at home,
but received HIM with great GOODNESS
on account of recent decree requir.
ing the introduction of the Russian
language in public affairs and In the
schools, and the substitution of Rus
sian methods of administration for
the native ones, to which they have
been SO long accustomed. at is a
pity" con tinued Mr.. Jensen, "that
the car is not enlightened enough to
leave that little out-of-the-way corner
of the world to its own natural deYel-
opment, instead of attempting to
force it into a course of life which it
abhors, and from which it can derive
no benefit.
"Of course, Finland Is country
about which the world at large
knows very little. Yet it is not with
out its interest to those curious in out
of-the-way places. 1t has a language
of its OWE very different from any
of those with which educated people
usually become familiar, and besides
this has a considerable native litera-
ture in poetry, history and science.
But scientific work in the language
is pretty effectually excluded from the
knowledge of scholars generally, as
the study of the language is c. IGined
to few.
FINLAND was under control of Swe-
den tor many centuries, but in 1909
was invaded and annexed to Russia.
The Firms are very much attached to
their country, and it is difficult to in
duce them to leave il permanently.
They do not believe in the stories told
about prosperity in other countries.
They stay at home, and are thorough
ly contented with their humble lot"

A Night Scene.
TRv l. X Jerome !

Slowly the golden memory of the
dead sun fades from the hearts of the
cold, sad clouds. Silent, like the sor.
rowing children, the birds have ceas.
ed their song, and only the moor
hens plaintive cry and the harsh
croak of the corn-crake stir the awed
hush around the couch of waters,
where the dying day breatbes out her
last.
From the dim woods on either bank
Nights ghostly army, the gray shad-
ows, creep out with noiseless tread
to chase away the lingering rear
guard of the light, and pass with
noiseless, unseen feet above the wav-
ing river grass, and through the
signing rushes, and Night, upon her
somber throne, folds her black wings
above the darkening world, and,
from her phantom palace, lit by the
pale stars, reigns in stiffness.
Then we run our little boat into
some quiet nook, and the tent is
pitched, and the frugal supper cook
ed and eaten. Then the big pipes are
filled and lighted, and the pleasant
chat goes round in musical undertone
while. in the pauses of our talk, the
river, playing round the boat, prattles
strange sad tales and secrets, sings
low the old child's song that it
has sung so many thousand years
will sing to many thousand years
to come, before its voice grows
harsh and old-a song that we,
who have learnt to love its changing
face, who have SO often nestled on its
yielding bosom. think, somehow, we
understand, though we could not tell
you in mere words the story that we
listen to.
And we sit there, by its margin,
while the moon, who loves il too,
stoops dawn to kiss it with a sisters
kiss, and throws her silver arms
around 1t clingingly; and we watch it
as it flows, ever singing, ever whis-
pering, out to meet it's king, the sea-
till our voices die away in ST.
lence, and the pipes go out till we,
commonplace, every day young men
enough, feel strangely full of thoughts
half sad, half sweet, and do not care
or want to speak-till we laugh, and,
rising, knock the ashes from our
burnt-out pipes and say "Good
night" and, lulled by the tapping
water and the rustling trees. we fall
asleep beneath the great still stars,
and dream that the world is young
again-young and sweet as she used
to be ere the centuries of fret and care
had furrowed her fair face, ere her
children's sins and follies had made
old her loving heart-sweet as
she was in those bygone days when,
a new-made mother, she nursed us,
her children, upon her own deep
breast-ere the wiles of painted civil
izatlon has lured us away from her
fond arms, and the poisoned sneers
of artificiality had made US ashamed
of the simple life we led with her, and
the simple stately home where man.
