Our correspondent says that they will
begin again n November. Four hun
dred thousand portions were served in
thirty~three days to 5000 children.
Many OF the school-childreL brought
their little brothers and sisters to share
the dinner with them, and the portions
of such children were always extra large.
A great number of children from the
streets also applied for food and were
never refused. The school masters and
mistresses testify that the children's
health in the winter has been very much
better since the introduction Of the free
dinners. A good moral effect has also
been produced upon the children, who
feel themselves cared Tor and the objects

Monkeys and Snakes,

1t is curious fact that MONKEYS
who have an intense instructive dread
OF snakes, would seem from experi-
ments in geological gardens to be
strangely attracted to them. An Amer.
lean observer, A. E. Brown, coiled n
dead snake in newspaper, So as to be
easily capable of coming loose. and
set it on the floor of cage containing
q great variety of monkeys. It was
instantly carried off by LEADING
spirit, but in few seconds the paper
became unfolded and the snake wasex.
posed, The monkey instantly dropped
1t and went away, but with a constant
look behind. The other MONKEYS per-
celvlng the snake, approached step by
step and formed circle around it six
or eight feet in diameter. None an
preached it except one Macaoue who
cautiously made some snatches al the
paper. AT this moment string which
had been attached TO the snakes tail
was gently pulled; the monkeys fed
precipltately, with great chatterine

position, and they continued this nro.

Shakespeare was perfect gentleman, hav-
Ing been made so by the Herald's college,
which invested his father with coat armor
This coat armor made a gentleman of the
elder Shakespeare, and as Williams mother
was already a gentleman under the code,
William became one also both on his fathers
and on his mothers side OF course all this
is mere detail and is duh and embarrassing,
but refer to it TO show that those who have
read things in Shakespeare's works that they
did not like, and who therefore say that lie
was no gentleman, do the great bard an in
Justice.
do not say that Shakespeare was the au-
thor of his own works, and it would not look
well in me TO set up my opinion in opposition
TO that of scholars, experts and savants who
have had more advantages than / have, for

but | say that somewhere the impression has
crept into the papers that he was pretty
good little play writer, and l am glad that
Mr.. Childs has had testimonial made and
sent over to England that will show an APP
probation, at least, of his ability to Keep be-
fore the people.

matician anyway, | will not introduce the

though the whole thing happened about three
hundred years ago, and has now nearly
passed out of my mind, to the best of my
recollection Shakespeare, though he was the
son of u buckwheater, and though he mar
ried his wife with poetic license, and
though he left his family at Stratford rather
than take them to live in London fiat, wrote
the most of his plays with the assista nee of
an expurgator who was out-of the city most
all of the time
| cannot show Shakespeare's ready wit
better at this time than by telling of his first
appearance on the stage as I remember it.

HOW New Haven Collector Easily Re-
plenishes His Collection.
John Maier is OF Teutonic extraction,
and he is tailor. Whenever he can he
devotes his time to catching butterflies.
This is his hobby. What does he do
with them? He simply chloroforms
them and frames them by thousands.
About the walls of his store are six
such collections averaging about two
and half feet square.
Mr.. Maier has certainly done some
wonderful work in qualification of his
whim. Take any one Of his collections.
1t contains at least five hundred butter
dies of all shapes. sizes, colors and
shades, and these are arranged in circles
and crosses, and all sorts of figures. The
largest and rarest are placed in the CEN
ter, and the lesser lights around them.
All are placed with wings outspread,
perfect specimens
During the spring and summer months
MIR. Maier uses net in collecting speci-
mems, and in the fall and winter months
he puts in his spare time climbing trees
and obtaining butterflies in chrysalis
form. To-day in his store. there is reg
ular butterfly hatchery. He has fully
two thousand cocoons. These are di-
vided according to their size, and are
now resting peacefully in shallow boxes
about foot square. The boxes are sup
piled with covers, and in consequence
act just as do incubators, and scores OF
the chrysalides are daily expanding into
beautiful butterflies. Alive, they float
about the store and sun themselves until
Mr.. Maier is ready to put them to sleep.
10 do this he has novel arrange
ment. This consists Of two narrow
smoothed pieces of wood sloping toward
each other in gentle angle, vet not
connecting, sort of trough separating
them. The whole is about eighteen
inches long and the trough about half
an inch wide. The body of the captured
butterfly is placed in the trough, his
wings are spread out on the sloping
wood on either side, and then the rest

People who do business with newly ar
rived immigrants notice how quickly
they begin to become Americanized.
This tendency, in fact, causes no little
Inconvenience to the cashiers of savings
banks, which have many immigrants
among their depositors. Some of the
larger institutions of this kind have
many hundreds of aepositors, and it is
necessary to exercise the greatest care
in seeing that the signatures ON orders
or checks for money are exactly the
same as the one which is kept ON refer
ence.
A Hungarian, for instance, when he
opens his account, will sign his name
Josef" In short while he finds trou-
BILE in withdrawing any money because
he has changed his name to "Joseph."
Heinrich, in the same way, becomes
Henry; Pierre, Peter; Dorathea, Dora,
and so on. The paying teller gets no
rest until he has the signature which is
kept on record Americanized - New

Good Dog and Weighs 100 Pounds.
A well known resident of Oakland has
o large Newfoundland dog that is won
der in his way-and he weighs about 100
pounds. The gentleman walked into
the business office, accompanied by his
dog, and purchased an additional paper
to mail to relative i'll Illinois. The
paper was wrapped up, and after placing
a 2-cent stamp on the wrapper and ad-
dressing it the gentleman gave the paper
to the dog.
The owner got into his buggy and
drove to the postotfice, the dog running
alongside the horse AT the postoffice
the gentleman stopped, but the dog
didn't He mounted the steps, trotted
down the corridor to the receiving boxes,
and, taking hold of one end of the paper
in his teeth. he inserted the other in the
opening into the paper box, and with his
nose pushed it through the hole. He had
no hesitancy about brushing his wet
coat up against the light check trousers
of several young men standing near the
box, and when one of them wanted to
help him to push the paper through the
opening he growled. as much as to say
he knew his business and could get along
without outside assistance.
After depositing the paper in the box
the dog bounded out again to his master,
who was waiting for him. st took me
two weeks to train him to do that trick,
but it paid me for the trouble said the
gentleman. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

Oddities of the Egg Market.

A leading commission merchant said:
"The egg business is the most annoying
one in the world. During the cold weather
in the winter the hens quit laying, but
everybody wants to eat eggs. Conse-
quently they go so high that the grocers
can't keep pace with their customers. In
the spring, just as soon as eggs get plen-
tiful, people quit eating them, and we
have to sell them to packers, who pickle
them for consumption later on. These
eggs that are packed are not liked by
consumers, and so you see the egg dealer
never has the satisfaction of handling a
commodity that is in good demand and
good supply at the same time. Louis
