Men Who Have Acted Hamlet.

The best Hamlet of the past twenty
years is that of Edwin Booth. Among the
greatest inlpersonators Of the character in
earlier days were Betterton, Garrick, John
Philip Kemble and Edmund and Charles
kean. Richard Burbage, who was one of
the first men to take the part, is said to
have pleased his contemporaries, among
whom was Shakespeare himself, but, so far
MS we are aware, no critical estimate of his
powers has come down to our time. Mac.
ready gained some little distinction in the
part, and so did his old rival Forrest, and
Charles Edward Fechter, and the same
may be said of Irving and Salvini, among
living actors, st. Louis Globe Democrat.

THE RIVER.

For centuries occanward It has flowed on,
Through moorland wild, beneath the hills
great feet,
Past orchards rich, and lowored meadows
sweet,
Singing Its happy lay; tho sun has shone
In silver splendor DER It, and the moon
Has blazoned silver etchings here and there
Upon its glancing waters; tho soft air
Has crisped 1t, and the winds made sullen
moan
Above 1t, like weird spirits seeking rest.
So flows my life through scenes of Joy and
woe;
Around me now sweet summer flowers
blow,
And now seem the dreary deserts guest;
Yet, like the river, ever on move
To the vast ocean of Eternal Love.

NEW CONQUEST OF EGYPT.
Modern English Society Has Accomplish
ed More Than Ancient Heroes.

When the khallt OF Granada returned
from the conquest of Cordova, in which lie
had humiliated rival khalf by the aid of
Christian allies, and rode in triumph
through the streets of his palace, the Al
hambra, he was hailed as a conqueror by
The populous. "Alas" said the weary
monarch with pathetic recognition Of
the fact that he had only aided the down
fall of his own religion in the subiection
Of rival, "alas! God is the only conquer.
er." The pious monarch had no experience
OF another force which is neither Moslem
nor Christian nor pagan, and whose deitics
are of this world, He would understand
the matter better if he could be in Egypt
in the year of grace 1901
lie would see that Egypt is for the first
time conquered, but not by arms, and not
by religion. What was accomplished
neither by the Hyksos nor by the Ethiop-
ians; neither by Nimrod nor Shishak nor
Tiglath; not by Shabek or Esarhaddon or
Sardanapalus, by Psammetichus, by Cam
byses, or Darins Hystaspes; not by AleXan-
der the Great or by Ptolemy Softer; not by
Caesar or Anthony; not even by Omar and
Ali; not by the Memlooks or the great Ma
poleon, nor by Mohammed Ali-what none
of these illustrious warriors could accom-
plish has been effected by the fashionable
young women and the delightful young
men out of England.

Sir Garnet Wolseley who has done this
thing, or ever could do it, any more than
Cambyses or IIaroun al Raschid. The AS

quered Egypt and overrun it and occupied
it and enslayed it time and again for 5000
years, and Egypt has always remained es-
sentially the same, conquering it's con.
querors by the'inertia of its traditions and
the persistence of its customs. And the
English, most stubborn TO resist anything
not of their own island, might have en-
camped here and absorbed the riches Of
the land, as the invaders of Egypt for ages
before have done, and left not so much
impression on the country as the annual
rise and fall of the Nile.
But one day English society conceived
the idea that Egypt would be a good win
ter resort, and the young man and the
young woman, with their fixed ideas of the
enjoyment of life descended on it and set
up the worship of their goddess beside the
ancient temples and the sacred mosques.
In ten short years they have accomplished
what the great conquerers could not effect
in centuries before The English tax
gatherers could not have done it, nor the
railways, nor the electric lights. Both

The keeper of the Bear Island light is
the owner of an intelligent dog. When II
steamer passes the light it whistles its
salute, and in response the lightkeeper
rings his bell, or rather did ring before the
dog took the job out of his hand Seeing
that the passing of boat and the ringing
of the bell were two things that went to-
gether, the dog took it into his own hands
or mouth-to ring the BELL and when
boat comes along, without waiting for her
whistle, he seizes the bell rope with his
teeth and rings vigorous salute.-Rock-
