Shakespeare and Virginia,

The first permanent lurlish settlement
In Amcrica was at Jam. Gown, Va, in
1901 William Shakespeare died nine years
later, in 1916. In August, 1920, negro
slaves were first introduced into Virginia.
From 1904 uu the colonization of Virginia
from England proceeded steadily, and
briSkly, too, for that age it being espe-
cially noteworthy that this colonization
fairly represented all England and was not
restricted to any class or sect. Moreover,
the England of that day was Shakcspeare's
England-thc England from which he drew
his characters manners, speech, proverbs,
and particularly all those traits and touch
es that give definite date and locality to
his works
They were Shakespeare contemporaries
who came over with Captain John Smith
and his suCccSSorS-the very men and wo-
men whom lac knew and drew so well.
some of them also knowing him, not only
as a dranati~t and actor, but also person
ally. There is tradition, not fully veri-
fled nor yet wholly discrcdited, that among
these early coiOniSts was one of the eXccu-
tors of Shalcsl cares will, who lived and
died at fredericksburg, it being commonly
understood and accepted that, until tho
late war fragments of the tombstone Of
this executor could still be seen in an old
cemetery Of that town.
From 1920 he African settlement of the
colony and its English settlement proceed
ed together, pari pufSu. The negro colo
nistS, of course, rs slaves and barbarians,
were put at the lowest and cOarsest labor,
and there, working side by side with Eng-
fish Hodge from him they learned such
English ard En- rlsh folklore as they &C
quired. Later Hodge and the negro sep
aratcd, and il was not long before the lat
ter was practically segregated, Hodge pro
crossing more or less, with some exCcp-
tionS, while Sambo, black and a slave was
rapidly hed9cd about by strict laws and
customs that set him apart and kept him
stationary To educate him was n crime
but illi,cratc and harbarous as he was the
first civiliza, ion and education lie received
We're English, fire. h from the soil of Stake
speares England, AID to this day he logi-
bly, retains Shakesponres mark as origi-
nally impressed upon him.
OF course even in slavery there were
freedmen, house and town servants and a
few other negroes from whom this impress
was PARTIAL; removed by their oprortuni-
ties and associations, and many more lave
lost it since elnancil alton and the free
school have come, but the mass of rural
| negroes, with some whites who have been
subjected to very similar conditions still
remind one of the great dramatist by their
doings and sayings, their proverbs, omens,
| signs and pecuiarities of speech. They
sometimes exhibit an apparent familiarity
| with Shakespeare in their words and
phrases, but they do not know him at all
never heard of him. -Lippincotts

The Nutriment in Foods.

A quart Of milk, three-quUrters of a
pound of moderately fat beef, sirlon steak,
for instance and five ounces of wheat flour
all contain about the same amount OF nu.
tritive material, but we pay different
prices for them, and they have different
values for nutriment. The milk comes
nearest to being perfect food 1t con
tains all of the different kinds of nutritive
materials that the body needs Bread made
from the wheat -four will support life Ii
contains all of the necessary ingredients
for nourishmcnt but not in the proper
tions best adapted for ordinary use A
man might live on beef alone, but it would
be very one sided and imperfect diet.
But meat and bread together make the es-
sentials of healthful diet, Such are the
facts of experience. The advancing sci
ence of later years explains them, This
explanation takes into account not simply
quantities of meat and bread and milk
and other materials which we eat, u.also
the nutritive ingredients or nutrients
which they contain.-Philadelph Press,

A Kind Voice,

There is no power of love so hard to get
and to keep as a kind voice. A kind hand
Is deaf and dumb. 1t may be rough in
flesh and blood, yet do the work of soft
heart, and do it with soft touch. But
there is no one thing that love so much
needs as a sweet voice to tell what it means
and feels, and it is hard to get and keep it
In the right tone. One must start in youth
and be on the watch night and day, at
work and at play, to get and keep voice
that shall speak at all times the thoughts
of a kind heart. 1t is often in youth that
one gets a voice or IA tone that is sharp,
and it sticks to him through life and stirs
up i'll will and grief, and falls like drop
OF gall on the sweets of home Watch it
day by day a. pearl of great price for it
will be worth more to you in days to come
than the best pearl hid in the seas. A
kind voice is to the heart what light is to
the eye. 1t is light that sings as well rs
ehines-ElMu Burritt

A Horses Tail.

In well formed horses the tail should be
strong at the root rising high from tho
Group, the direction of which it follows.
When this is horizontal the tail is grace
fully carried, especially when the horse il
moving. With powerful, good shaped
horses it is often carried upward, or even
curved over the back, especially when tho
horse is lively. The health and strength
of the animal are, according to popular no.
tions, indicated by the resistance the tail
offers to manual Interference and by tho
way in which it is carried. To some ex-
tent also it affords an indication of the
horses disposition.
A fldgety horse usually has the tail, like
the ears, always in motion. When about
to kick, the tail is drawn downward be-
tween the legs. When the animal is IA
tigucd or exhausted, Scn it is dropping
and frequently tremulous and with somo
horses, when galloping, it is swung about
in II circular manner or dashed from sido
to side. There can scarcely be any doubt
also that, like the tail of birds, it assists
in the horses movements rs when the an
imal is galloping in IL small circle, or rap
idly turning round corner it is curved
to the inner side.
With well bred horses the hair of the tail
is comparatively lno and straight and Of
ten grows to such length that it reaches
the ground. Coarse bred horses may also
have the hair long, but then IL is usually
very thick and strong and more or less
frizzly, though soft and curly hair may oc-
casionally be noticed in the tail of thor
oughbrcd horses. In some horses there is
a tendency to shedding of the tail hair
this, like that of the NAME tail, forelock,
fetlocks and some other parts, Is perma-
nent and not shed at certain seasons, as
in other regions of the body. The horse
is then said to be 'rattailcd" and there
is a popular saying to the effect that such
a horse is never bad one. In other in
stances the tail hair falls off, except at tho
end Of the dock, where it forms a tuft, and
the horse is then "cow tailed" or "mulo
tailed. Nineteenth CentuE.

Life's Mistakes.

We plant sweet flowers above the spot
Where rest our uuforgotten dead
And while the roses bud and bloom
We beautify their lonely bed.
We rear the snowy marble shaft,
That every passer-by may learn
How sacred memory keeps her trust
In votve gift and storied urn.
But, oh! the hearts that ache and break
Through all the long bright summer days,
For some sweet word of tenderness,
Some generous aud outspoken praise
And, OH the bitter tears that fall
Ger life's mistakes and cruel fate
That all things which the heart most Graves
OF love and glory, come too late.
Then take the rose that blooms to-day
And lay it in some loving hand
And wait not till the ear grows dull
TO tell the sweet thought that you planned
One kiss on warm and loving lips
Is worth thousand funeral flowers,
And one glad day of tender love
Outweighs an age of mourning hours.
