How Shakespeare Repeats Himse1,


Shakespeare has a habit of repeating
himself. Sydney Smith complained to
Constable that in every novel of Scott's,
from Guy Mannering" to ''The Fortunes
of Nigel" there occurred Meg Merrilies.
"She is good" he said, ''but good too Of
ten" In similar way Shakespeare con-
stantly introduces his heroine disguised as
man, and his utterly selfish and heart
less jeune premier. There Is Claudio in
"Much Ado About Nothing" there is the
''f1owerlike young man" of Measure for
Measure;" there is Bertram here, in "All's
Well That Ends Well"
1t is possible that Shakespeare was much
impressed by the stupid pride, levity and
heartlessness of the young noblesse; he
was obliged to make heroes of them, but
he shows them for heroes very unheroic.
They are almost always unworthy of the
love with which women prosecute them.
From "Venus and Adonis" onward,
Shakespeare treats, and not without lik-
ing, the pursuit by the woman Of the man.
The circumstance occurs frequently
enough in life, but it is never agreeable to
gatch.-Andrew Lang in Harper's.

THE SWEETEST EYES.

Which are the sweetest eyes to you?
The brown. where fire and lapguor meet
The sunny, laughing eyes of blue,
Or black, with glanees shy and feet?
Or opaline. with changeful hue,
Or gray, where mind with beauty vies,
Or violet, so soft and true
Tell me, which are the sweetest eyes?
My darling bent her sunny head,
Her radiant face seemed half divine.
"The sweetest eyes to me-" said,
"Are those that look with love in mine"

THE HOUSE.


If the effort of the United States is to
increase the use of silver for money pur-
poses, not here alone, but everywhere.
that effort would be defeated by free
coinage law here, because while it would
undoubtedly increase the use of silver in
this country it would reduce it elsewhere.
1t would do more than that, for by ena-
bling foreign Governments to melt down
their silver coins and sell them for our
gold at our coming rate, it would DESTROY
the interest OF such countries in the resto-
ration of silver as a money metal While
it would temporarily raise the price of
silver, the ultimate effect would be to
raise the price of gold the world over, by
enabling the countries now having the
double standard, or the silver standard,
TO adopt the gold standard, thus creating
an increased demand for gold and caus-
ing it to appreciate in value. aggravating,
in fact, the very evil complained of-the
dearness of gold. At the same time it
would necessarily lower the price of sill
yer. because it would enable Europe. not
TO speak of South America and other
countries, to throw vast quantities OF it
on the American market.-E. o. Leech,
in the Forum.

Opening Day of the Memphis spring
Meeting.
MEMPHIS, April n.-Three thousand
people braved the cold, damp atmosphere,
and sat through five events at the open
ing day of the spring meeting of the new
Memphis Jockey Club. Considering the
condition of the track the sport was good
The event of the day was the Tennessee
Derby, and was won by j. M. Browns

eighth miles. The starters were Jim
Murphy, Tom Elliott, Lew Weir, Little
Billy and Phil Dwyer 1t was seen that
Corrigan's entry was overturned. Little
Billy and Tom Elliott were apparently in
the pink of condition. Jim Murphy
came out last and showed up well.
Tom Elliott led Jim Murphy at the
start by nose, with Little Billy a close
third. At the stand Little Billy passed
both Elliott and Murphy, and Corrigan's
horse was no better of than when they
started. At the quarter Little Billy led
by half length. Dryer then made
squirt and put Murphy in fourth place,
while Weir brought up the rear. At the
half the positions were unchanged, eX-
cepting Billy increased his lead, and at
VIC wa IcllSlu Ol
Elliott. Weir's jockey brought his horse
to second place and pressed Billy hard.
At the three-quarter post Elliott was
third, Dwyer fourth, and the Irish
horse two lengths in the rear. In
the homestretch Billy led by half
length, Weir crowding him
hard, and Elliott an easy third. Britton
gave Elliott the whip. and passed Weir,
and was on even terms with Billy in q
twinkling. Another similar movement,
and it was all over. Elliott seemed to go
faster near the end OF the journey,
and passed under the wire one length
ahead of Billy, at a tremendous pace;
Weir the same distance ahead of Murphy,
and Dwyer last. Time, 2:034.

dry dock when she might have been re-
paired just as well at Tacoma. The Sec
rotary says he was not aware that the
Tacoma dry dock was finished or capable
of receiving a vessel the size of the Mo-
hlcan, and as the Mohican was en- route
to Behring Sea, it was easier to have her
repaired at Esquimalt than bring her
back TO San Francisco

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Chandler pre-
scented a memorial to the Senate from ex-
Senator Blair, asking for an investigation
as to the reason that China refused to re-
ceive him as Minister. Blair says the
Chinese Minister several times expressed
regret at his rejection, and strong de-
sire OF the Government to request him to
secure from his Government an inter
change Of friendly explanations which
would set the matter right. Blair thinks
the investigation will disclose a detestable
conspiracy; that his rejection was Sc
cured through false representations from
the Chinese Legation during the absence
OF the Minister, and by other false and
dlshonorable means. He says he is in
possession of facts proving the difficulty
to be rivalry Of business interests, the
nature of which should be ascertained by
the Governments whose friendly relations
have been impaired if not endangered.
