lar with Shakespeare, as any person pre-
Stunning to write SO positively should be,
Caroline would not have missed this fine
description of noble pack of hounds:
Their heads are hung
With ears that sweep away the morning dew:
Crook-knee'd, and dew-lapp'd like Thessslian
bulls;
Slow in pursuit, but match'd in mouth like
bells,
Each under each. A cry more tunable
Was never holla'd to, nor cheerd with horn,
In Crete, in Sparta, nor in Thessaly.
The man who wrote these lines knew q
good dog, admired good dog and had fol-
lowed the hounds with delight.
Caroline's ignorance is more remarkable
because these lines are from ga Midsum-
mer Nights Dream" which is generally
read by women when they read Shakes
peare at all. In the same play a pack of
dogs baying at bear are thus descrl bed:
Never did hear
Such gallant chiding; for, besides the groves,
The skies the fountains, every region near
seem'd all one mutual cry; never heard
So musical discord, such sweet thunder.
Sir Henry Holland, Lord Nugent and
Caroline K. Sherman were evidently none
of them very close students of Shakes
peare.

self; and the millionaire of twenty years
ago is without cent and none so poor as
to do him reverence; the decent world, he
disdained, coldly says that as he sowed

street but dead Indian" and quote
Longfellow's line, "There is no dock how
e'er so well defended but some dead lamb

There is the same difference IN the men
who seek to win the victories of peace that
we find among those who struggle for SUI
premacy IN war. Some of them. like Ma
poleon, fight ferociously and rapaciously
for their own hand, and, stalking an en-
pire for self, lose all in their immoral
greed, and die miserable bankrupts on the
barren rock of blasted fortune and lost
reputation, while others, like Washing
ton, Wellington and Grant, fight and, II
need be. die for the state; that is, they
live and die in the belief that the greatest
good of the gre latest number. not the great
est greed of the individual self, is the pole
star of duty to all men of patriotism,
peace, justice, honor, honesty and good
will. Verify, these men with pirates
heart and a gamblers hand in business

Kingsley write his boy warningiy against
the gambling habit and propensity OF hu-

THE MILITIA CAMPAIGN EXPENSES

The position taken by the governor and
state auditor to the effect that the recent
militia campaign was a county and not a
state affair, is confirmed by the opinion of
the attorney general; and il looks as if.
whether right or wrong, the county must
pay the bill. The matter will probably be
carried into the courts, and even If the
county should be beaten there, the legis-
lature at its next session will probably set
the matter right by returning the money,
We believe that the governor, the auditor
and the attorney general are wrong: that
the troops acted not under county author
ity, but under state authority, and that
the state ought to paw the cost,
of the campaign. 1t is certainly
true that the regimental commander
declined to act in response to requisition
from the county authorities and that he
did not move his forces until he had been
instructed by the governor to do so under
certain contingencies which developed in
due course. He certainly thought him.
self TO be acting under orders from the
governor and held himself subject To the
governors commands at any time. Bat
whether the position of the state author
tiles is sound or not it is certainly con-
trary to broad public policy to put this
charge upon King county. 1t makes a
bad precedent-a precedent which the
Tacoma Ledger very wisely saws is likely
TO lead to serious and dangerous future
consequences

THE MAGAZINES.

Hdyper's Magazine for August opens with q
remarkably interesting paper on "New Zea-
land by Professor George NJ. Grant, describing
the wonderful scenery and unsurpassed re-
sources OF that remote cou ntry which to Amer
leans is almost terra fncognitd. Numerous IL
Illustrations from photographs and from draw
ings by distinguished artists make this article
doubiy attractive. J. II. Rosny, one of the most
brilliant of the new French writers, contrib
utes to the same number of the Magazine Q
timely and striking article on "Nihilists in
Paris" with portraits and graphic illustrations
By distinguished Partisan artists. Ecclesiastical
London in the times OF the Plantagenets is the
subject of Walter Besant's third article
on London, in which he describes the religious
life OF the city, the numerous churches,
monssteries, nunneries, hospitals and religious
orders, and their remarkable influence upon the
manners and thought of the people OF that time.
More than twenty illustrations are given of in
teresting remains still existing of Plantagenet
London. Professor w. G. Blake, of Edinburgh,
contributes some entirely new and interesting
matter about Lord Byron's Early School Days"
DR.. Andrew Wilson, +. K. s. T., in popular and

etc, contributes the complete novel to the
August number Of Lippfncott's Magazine II 10
an exceedingly we'll told love story, with a very
exciting climax. Mrs. Cameron's great popu-

mentioned an amusing one entitled "Re-roasted

"The sisv and the Indian Empire" by Clarence

pathetic tale OF young Caffre girl, and her

Shakespeare always treated the dog with
contempt, and SIR Henry worked for a

to refate Lord Nugent's statement but
without success. Later it was found bv

The plans of Benezette Williams, the
consulting engineer appointed for the pur-
pose of devising thorough sewerage sys-
TEN for Seattle, have arrived. On two
points he is positive. He declares in favor
of the special assessment method OF pay

and that the cost will be about $500, 900.
The latter is matter of technical calcula-
ton; the former is open to question and
must be governed to a great extent by
local circumstances.
