81 suppose" said an English woman
to two American travellers on the deck
of one of the big transatlantic steamers,
"that you intend to visit Shakespeare's
birthplace"
''Oh, yes,' was the answer; eve shall
go to Stratford by all means. You have
been there of courseg'
mo; / never have been. Very few
English people go there, but it is great
resort for Americans"
"Why is it that English people take
so little interest, comparatively, in the
town which produced so great a geniusy"
"Well, / cannot account for it, except
possibly on the theory that one is never
so likely to visit what is always within
ones reach as are those who go 10 a
strange country with the special object
of sightseeing. Why, on this very
steamer | have met an American who
told me that, although his home is close
to New York, he has never visited your
Metropolitan Museum of Art in Central
park except once, while he has been a
number of times to the British museum,
and repeatedly to the Louvre. Now,
fancy that if he lived few hundred
miles from New York, and occasionally
went there to see the sights he would
have a much more intimate knowledge
of the museum than he has now, when
it is within his reach every day, or at
least every week. New York Tribune.

An engineer has written to one of the
dailies to advocate the disoxygenation
of glass. he argues that since steel is
made by disoxygenating molten cast
iron by blowing air through it, by pro-
cess reversely analogous glass can be
softened into toughness and fexibility
He maintains that glass. which is not
only much cheaper than iron, but much
denser and tougher, can be put to any
of the uses Of iron excepting electrical
conduction, while for drain pipes and
water pipes it would be unequaled.
The champion of disoxygenated glass
maintains that it could be used instead
of tin and copper. and would replace
iron for rigging and fencing, etc, as it
possesses almost three times the tensile
strength of the best wrought iron; fur
thermore, he regards it as not improba-
ble that vessels built of glass beams and
plates will eventually replace our pres
ent steel ships, as they would be strong
er, cheaper and one-half Ighter.-Pitts-

Some Horror. of ouaeksrr.

The old proverb, "Any port in a
Storm" has often found practical illus
tration in the empirical treatment Of
disease. Time was when even regular
practitioners in the art of healing in
cluded in their professional armament.
along with many simple remedies of
real value, other matters, the very men
tion of which might almost suffice to en-
gender illness. We may feel thankful
that we have now entered upon later
and more scientific era, and that such
extraordinary drugs as weasels' gizzards,
does hoofs, snails, and other even more
repulsiye horrors, do not now find place
in any pharmacopoeia.
There still exists, however, a species
of medical folklore, and some of its pre-
scribed wisdom available for use in i'll
ness is of the most remarkable kind.
Times Of panic, by throwing popula
ton to some entent on its own resources
for treatment, are apt to create de-
mand for these survivals of a dark age.
This happened lately in Germany, where
a toad cooked with much care was swal-
lowed as a cure for cholera. As TO the
result we are not informed. Most Of us
would probably choose to suffer rather
than thus attempt our own relief.-Lon.

Passing down a quiet street not long

en- approaching. They were clad in deli

opposite about two tons of ashes was

Where the English Poets Are Buried.

Crpplegate, and there is no reason 10
doubt that the dean and chapter of his
day would have refused him the rightof
sepulture in the abbey when he died had
1t been then asked for. Even so late as
the beginning of the Eighteenth century
the phrase, second 10 Milton alone"
which had been proposed as an epitaph
for the poet Phillips, was ruled out" by
Dean Sprat, who regarded the name of
Milton as too detestable to appear in
building dedicated to religion.
Thirty years later not only Millions
name but the bust to his memory was
admitted, although the accompanying
inscription was not of felicitous char
acter. Byron was actually refused
burial in the abbey; Goldsmith lies in
the precincts of the temple; Gray was
buried in the country churchyard, that
at Stoke Poges, near Slough, in which
he wrote his immortal "Elegy;' and of
more modern bards Wordsworth, Ten
nyson's immediate predecessor in the
laureateship, is buried "by Rotha's
stream" in Grasmere churchyard, while
the heart of Shelley and the body of
Keats are inferred in Protestant Gene
terry at Rome.
Posterity is the only sure judge Of
poetical renown, and who can doubt
that were Keats and Shelley to die now
they would as matter of course be
accorded place where Browning
and Tennyson lie. 1t is safe predic-
ton, however, that our descendants will
not hold us of the Nineteenth century to
blame for admitting into the poets cor
ner the remains of the author of ''Morte
d Arthur" and I'm Memoriam. Lon.

The Antiaui,v Of the Lark.

The very first thought suggested by
study of the migration of birds is one of
time. In tracing the migratory habit TO
its origin we find the history reaching
back to the times previous TO man, and
we begin 20 realize how ancient is the
aristocracy of the air. The lark did not
come over with William the Conqueror,
but his armOrial bearing, if he thought it
worth while to have any, would antedate
those Of every noble family in Great

and autimony in the stomach of Brandt,
there being % few grains of the latter and

The cross examination by Mr. O'Sulli-
