Shakespeare and the Color Sense.

have selected Shakespeare "Son. nets'' as his most personal utterance and ''Venus and Adonis" as a charao- teristic youthful poem, avoiding the plays, in which the coloring might be held to be largely of the scene painting order. I believe this selection is fairly comparable with Marlowe's work. The ''Sonnets" give very different results from the longer poem. They are much severer ill color, black and yellow pre- dominating, while in "Venus and Adonis" there is profusion of rcd and white, with very little black or yellow. It is easy to gain view of Shakespeare s color generally by turning to good concordance such as Schmidt's Shakes peare Lexicon. He appears, speaking roughly, to use red epithets about so times to 50 times that he uses green, if we exclude numerous cases in which he uses green without any reference to color,
 Shakespeare's use of ccior is very ex- travagant, symbolical, often contra dictory. He plays with color. lays it on to an impossible thickness, uses it in utterly unreal senses to describe spirit ual facts. Colors seem to become color less algebraic formulas in his hands. It may safely be said that no great poet ever used the colors of the world so dis dainfully, making them the playthings of mighty imagination, only valuing them for the emphasis they may give to the shapes of his own inner vision. In his use of color Shakespeare bears wit ness to his belief in Prospero's philos- ophy and counts the external weld as but gay, insubstantial fabric, mere Japanese house set up over volcano, and though he seems we'll pleased to live there, he is sometimes tempted to thrust his fist through the walls, Con. temporary Review,

 Up to the age of 56. Du Maurier was known simply as a olevef artist. During his middle age, however, he had secretly taken the pen into partnership with the pencil.
 Linking some dreamy, idealistio brain fanoies with a reminiscent story of his own happy youth In the French capital, he wrote book. Slowly, laboriously and in secret he wrote 1t Then he translated it into French and back into English again. At length he allowed 1t to be pub lished by Harper Bros. under the title of Peter Ibbetson."
 Two years later Peter Ibbetson" was followed by the book which made Du Maurier's literary reputation among the masses and which, after an unprecedent- ed run, was degraded by becoming fad.
 "Trilby" was first published in Har- per's Monthly. It, like previous works of Du Maurier's, dealt with a psychological problem and breathed forth true French atmosphere,

The Regiments Angelic.

First of all, mention the regiments angelic. Alas, that the subject of de- monology seems better understood than
 the subjects of angelology. But the glorious spirits around the throne and all the bright immortals that fill the galleries and levels of the universe are to take part in that last great fight, and the regiments angelic are the only regi- ments capable of meeting the regiments plutonic. To show you something of an angels power, I ask you to consider that just one of them slew 1855, 900 of Sennacherib's host in night, and 1t is not tough arithmetical question to solve, if one angel can slay 185, 900 troops in night, how many can 500, 900, 900 of them slay? The old book says that "they excel in strength" It is not celestial mob, but disciplined host, and they know their rank. Cher ubim, seraphim, thrones, municipalities and powers. And the leader of those regiments is Michael the Archangel.
 David saw Just one group of angels sweep past, and they were 20,000 char ioted. Paul, who in the Canadian col lege had his faculties so wonderfully developed, confesses his incapacity to count them by saying, 'Ye are come to Mount Zion and an ipnumerable com pany of angels" If each soul on earth has a guardian angel, then there must be 1,60O, 900, 900 angels on earth today. Besides that, heaven must be full of an- gels, those who stay there. Not only the 12 angels who, we are told, guard the 12 gates, but those angels who help in the worship and go on mission from mansion to mansion and help to build the hosannas and inthrone the hallelu- iahs and roll the doxologies of the serv- ice that never ends.

Needing not roses of June.

Toward noon a strong gale came
