Should Plays he Printed7

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
the closet. 1t was also inferred that
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
is also the explicit declaration Of Hey
wood in the following terms:
1T hath been no custom in me Of all
other men courteous readers) to COM
NIT my plays to the press. The reason,
though some may attribute to my own
insufficiency, had rather subscribe in
that to their severe censure than by
seeking to avoid the imputation Of weak
ness to incur greater suspicion Of hon.
esty, for, though some have used dou-
BILE sale Of their labors first to the stage
and after to the press, here proclaim
myself ever faithful to the first and
never guilty Of the last"
The author Of the most successful
comedy Of modern times exhibited the
same Indifference to, or rather dislike
of, the printer. When "'The School For
Scandal" met with so brilliant recep-
ton, from its first appearance on May
8, 1777, Ridgway, the publisher, agreed
with Sheridan as to its publication, but
he never succeeded in getting the manu-
script. He applied to the author in vain,
and at length got an answer. Sheridan
said that he had been 10 years endeavor-
ing to satisfy himself with the style of
the play, but had not yet succeeded
The printing Of the play was done in
dependently Of the author. He presented
manuscript copy Of it to his married
sister, Mrs. Lefanu, at Dublin, to be
disposed Of for her own advantage to the
Of the Dublin theater. This
brought her 100 guineas and free admis-
sions to the theater, and it was from the
thus procured that the Dub
lin edition was printed. and

preaching him said: (Which order Of

This story illustrates the perils Of
practical joking i'll Germany: Eighteen
months ago four gentlemen Of leisure
from the Rhine country went to the kir-
mess in Bullay. They rode about with
a cabby and drank wine until they were
overtaken by the conditions of mind
and body which accompany these per-
fornances at German festivals. Then
they began to dispute with the cabman
as to the weight of his horse and cab.
Eventually they offered him 80 pfen-
nigs-or about IL cents-a pound for the
whole equipage. He accepted the Offer
The horse and cab went on the scales
and registered 3, 900 pounds. The whole
outfit was worth about $75, SO the cab
man fastened to surrender it and de-
mand his ~ cents a pound, or $500 in
all. The four gentlemen Of leisure then
protested that it was all mistake, a
joke, in fact, and they couldn't think Of
paying $500 for $75 equipage. They
went away, but the cabman sent horse
and cab after them by express G. o. D.
When the four gentlemen Of leisure
refused to follow the practical part Of
the joke farther, the cabman sued them.
He carried on the case from court to
court, in response to their appeals from
each successive decision in his favor, and
two weeks ago obtained the final judy
ment in his favor from the high court Of
justice in Coblenz. The costs meantime
had risen to $40, so the four gentlemen
Of leisure were ordered by the court to
pay 5000, all told. That is the total cost
Of the practical joke about the claimants

ers which, for the defense Of the four
jokers through the steady legal fight Of

MlSerf In italy.

From hygienic standpoint, Italy is
probably the worst of among all tho
civilized nations. According to Stats
tics collected and published by Professor
Bodil, who furnishes authentic figures
covering the entire Italian monarchy,
there are among the S,254 communities
Of Italy 1, 454 which have water of bad
quality or in insufficient quantity. More
than one-half Of all the communities,
or 4,s77, have no drainage, and refuse
matter is simply thrown into the street.
The conditions Of homes are also very
bad in Italy, as In no other country Of
Europe are there SO many people living
in cellars or Easements In 1908 tene-
ments situated below ground more than
1901 Italians live, eat and sleep.

peculiar to maize eating people, which
annually causes 1000 deaths in the
provinces Of Venetia and Lombardy. 1t
Is estimated that more than 100, 900
cases Of pellegra occur annually in these
provinces.
In 4, 085 communities Of Italy meat is
not eaten and can only be obtained from
nearby towns, since meat is 50 dear
that the poor people Of Italy cannot at
ford it. Three hundred and sixty-six
communities have not even cemetery,
their dead being buried in the churches,
for they are too poor to purchase ground
for burying purposes. Fourteen hundred

A littlc reflection will convince any

France is authority for the statement
that the deterioration Of common roads,
