1t viii be remembered that in 1888 there
was great earthquake in lschia, an island
in the bay of Naples. Thousands Of people
were killed and hurt, some buried alive for
DAYS. Well, the Neapolitans were very
generous in sending aid to Ischia. But
they were also extremely brisk in referring
TO a little book Of numbers with which they
are !. great deal more intimate than with
anything else in the shape Of literature
This little book is curious nonsensical
piece Of work--a string Of common and alb
stract nouns adjectives, etc, with num-
bers attached to them, such words, for ex-
ample, as king, "queea, bread, I" war, Z.
''famine, " husband, !" 10y" "cat," dog,
etc. It Is the lottery mongers, wade mecum.
When therefore the calamity oe Isciia
was heard Of, the Neapolitans Immediately
turned up the word earthquake in the
precious little book Thiswas The founda-
tion number of the series Of three, which
constitutes "ternO." To complete the
series some chose one word. some another,
more or less opposite to the occasion-such
as the day Of the week and the day Of the
month, or the number corresponding to
death" and island The odd thing was
tbht when Saturday arrived a 'terno' came

money into various Neapolitan homes

and he paid no attention to lighted candle

Once he hurt himself severely by running
against a wall, showing that his move
ments were directed by habit, and that he
had no conception Of external objects. A
door through which he had Just passed was
closed, and returning he struck himself
against 1t. In places to which he was ac-
customed he moved about naturally, but
in strange places he felt everything care

Professor Egan Says 1t Was a Spirit From
Purgatory Seeking Justice.

Professor Egan Says 1t Was Spirit From
Purgatory Seeking Justice.
Professor Maurice Francis Egan has been
lecturing recently on the ghost in Ham
I let.n Ghosts are eerie things to handle
even in print, and when one attempts TO
I decide whether the ghost be a spirit Of
I health or g goblin damned'' the under
taking is indeed a hazardous one Mr.,
/ Egan, however, is brave man and IS not
easily daunted. The spirit Of Hamlet's
father is a spirit from purgatory, be says,
/ who seelzsn revenge, but justice. Hewho
even touched the garment Of king often
sively was a traitor. He who did him In
/ jury deserved TO die. In those days there
was no such things as trial by jury. The
state has been slain in the person Of the
] king; therefore to counsel the killing of
I Claudius is not to consel murder, but JUS
tice. There Is an answer to the argument
often brought forward to prove that The
ghost must be an evil spirit because he urged
/ Hamlet to crime. Mr., Egan proves all this
z by the words Of the ghost, although to
quote from Hamlet seems a bit like quot
ing from the Lords Prayer:
am thy fathers spirit,
Doom'd for a certain time to walk the night
And for the day confined to fast in fires,
Till the foul crimes done In my days Of nature
Are burnt and purged away.
Cut of even in the blossoms Of my sin,
Unhouselid, disappointed, unanefd,
No reckoning made, but sent to my account
With all my imperfections on my head.
Again, 'Taint not thy mind, says the
ghost. These are the words Of good spirit
and not of a devil.
Mr.. Egan's reading Of "Hamlet" on this
point is not indeed new one, but it serves
to throw a strong light on the question Of
Shakespeare's Catholicity. The religion Of
Shakespeare has been the subject of endless
discussion. Il do not claim he was prac-
tical Catholic says Mr. Egan. II do not
even claim that he would have been, but
was deferred by the troublous and danger
ous times In which he lived-times in which
priests had their hiding places and mass
was said IN barns and cellars. do claim,
though. that he was thoroughly versed in
the doctrines and practices Of the Catholic
church
The words Of the ghost prove this more
clearly. Shakespeare falls into many an
aehronisms on other subjects, such as send
ing Hamlet to the University Of Witten-
berg at time when the university did not
exist, but when he deals with the beliefs
and customs Of the Catholic church he is
thoroughly at home. "I'll cross it, though
it blast me, says Horatio, speech which
the majority Of actors-BOoth, Barrett and
all the moderns-interprete by walking
across the path Of the ghost on the stage.
Fecther interpreted the meaning correctly
and in true Catholic fashion. He made the
sign Of the cross over the apparition.- Phil
