Should Plays BE Printed?

Moliere objected to the printing Of his
plays on the ground that they were
meant to be acted on the stage, with the
costumes, scenery and illusions per-
tanning thereto, and not to be read in
Shakespeare entertained the same notion
as Moliere, seeing how Indifferent he
was as to the fate Of his plays so long as
they were popular on the stage. There

His Musical Choice.

"Eothen" Kinglake was a great friend
Of Nine. Olga de Novikoff during her
sojourn in England, where one feature
Of her entertainments was afternoon
musicals to which none but dilettanti
were invited. On one occasion Kinglake
presented himself, and rs an intimate Of
the house was admitted. He retired to a
corner and listened attentively. Madame
was surprised, but pleased, and ap.

Strange Tale Of woodsman and the Ell.

Il don't like to repeat a story about
Sullivan county unless I know it is
true, said Phil Kinney. Mr.. Kinney
never tells story except with the most
serious countenance, writes CORE
spondent of the New York Press.
"A farmer" he said, from Forest

Of an experience he had out in the

don't think he told the truth. You see,
he is one Of those honest old fellows
who drink hard cider around home. He
says plain cider doesn's hurt him, but
when he comes here he winks at me and
says, Put little in my cider.
well, sir. he was getting out rail
in doing it one Of those big, double

The HORSsLESS CARRIAGE.
Tie perf.ot Vehicle Will Come Into Use
Slowly but Surely.

Y littlo reelection will convince any
one that the use Of motorcycles, or, in
other words, horseless carriages, will
improve the roads. General NORM of
France is authority for the statement
that the deterioration Of common roads,
except that which is caused by the
weather, is two-thirds due to the wear
If horses feet and one third due to the
wheels of vehicles. This being the case,
if the same amount as usual continue
to - laid out upon the roads, and the
continual damage decrease two-thirds,
then the amount spent will go to in
creased and permanent Improvement,
and the roads will be ''as smooth as q
barn floor
There are many questions to be
solved, many difficulties to be sur
mounted, before the unexceptionable
vehicle appears. 1t was a long time be-
fore the difficulties Of making sewing
machines, revolvers, repeating rifles,
typcwriters and typesetters were over.
come. Yet, examine them! 1t is all
plain and simple, and not at all marvel
Gus now, and we can hardly imagine
how any mechanic could spend years Of
time studying over such easy problems.
So it will be with the motorcycles The
mountains of difficulty will sink into
molehills, and the ingenuity displayed
will be found to take the form Of judi
cious application Of ordinary mechanic
al appliances, approved by the final
umpire, the common sense of mankind.
Those who build automobiles must
not permit themselves to think that they
were born with all the carriage makers
lore inherent in them. A man may be
q first class theoretical and practical
mechanic and not be able to make a
good vehicle to run ON wheels. The per-
feet carriage, as we know it today, is
the aggregate Of the years Of exhaustive
trial and experiment and the improve
r1ents on that experience made by !, 200
men Of genius.
If the carriage builders bestow upon
the new carriage all the art acquired in
building the old, and the motorcycle
men learn the reasons Of the convention
alities Of the trade and adapt their i'm
provements to them with reference to
the opinions Of those who are not preju-
diced against innovation, they will
both work together in harmony and
with one purpose, and, SO united, they
will make rapid progress in the devel-
opment Of the inevitable vehicle Of the
future. CASTER Magazine

English Ship Names.

The naming Of ships is one Of the
difficulties that the admiralty overcome
10y using the old names over and over
again. To adopt a new name into the
navy seriously intorferes with the serv-
ice signal books
The old names are i'll the code, and
are as convenient for the ships Of today
as for those Of Nelson's time. But the
introduction Of new name necessitates
an alteration in all the books. That is
why the old names survive generation
after generation. London World
