Where Recruits Are Found

Don't expect the loud takers to do any
fighting. They are not built that way, al
was we'll illustrated in Eastport one day
last week. A score or more bloodthirsty
patriots of the most jingostic type were
in a store shouting for war with Spain at
once. President Mckinley was denounced
in unmea sured terms in language more
forcble than elegant for alleged lack Of
"sand" and for being the tool of Wall street,
etc.; he should have declared war before
this and relied upon the patriotic sentiment
of the country to furnish men and money
for war against the naughty Spaniards.
1t was hot stuff the boys were firing on.
and nothing less than war to the death
would be listened to. Just at this moment
Captain Hume of Company I, N. G.. s. M,
opened the street door. and, holding .
telegram in his hand, said: boys, want
thirty additional men for my company right
away; this telegram from Colonel Phil
brook authorizes the enlistment of the full
quota of seventy men to be ready for i'm
mediate service" If a cold waive direct
from the North Pole, with an iceberg ac-
compartment, had struck that room Its
effect could not have been more paralyz-
Ing. There was no more war falkland
no one offered to enlist. But elsewhere,
where no loud talk was being made, Cap
tain Hume found his recruits.-Kennebec

SIGHTS AT THE AaUA11Ux
Things Majority Of Visitors Seem q
Like Best

The majority Of the visitors at the Aqua
rum like best the creatures that display
the greatest life and animation, and best Of
all those that give indications of possessing
some sense of humor, that have some fun In
them There is in the Aquarium sturgeon
of remarkable size to be kept IN captivity
it Is eight feet in length. 1t Is q notable
specimen, in excellent condition, very
notable exhibit, but 1t attracts very little
attention; comparatively few people lingeI

in which 1t finds home. For the big stur-'
geon Is slow and deliberate In movement:
1t doesn't much more than get steerags
way on itself, and 1t never does anything
but move about in this slow and common
place way.
But nine out of ten Of the sightseers stop
to look at the little fiddler crabs in a dry
tank on the salt water side of the gallery
tier. They are attracted by the little crabs
great activity; they love to see them scut-
tie Off in their queer fashion across the
sand. Among the majority of the sight-
seers the liveliest interest is awakened by
the big and somewhat clumsy West Indian

life in 'em. The seals bite at each other, fall

they separate and swim around the pool.
while the onlookers keep an eye on the big

he's filling his mouth.
At the first time around, maybe, after
filling his mouth, when he comes to end Of
the pool he rises half his length out 0f
water, bringing his head above the stone
coping Of the pool, takes good look
around, and singles out somebody to squirt
at When he has selected a victim he slides
back into the water again, and resumes his
circling of the pool.
He may rise again and squirt the stream
the next time around, or he may go around
three or four times more, first; but sooner
or later up he comes, quick and true. and on
the instant up rises the stream as well-de-
fined as stream from pipe, three or four
feet in the air, to fall outside perhaps upon
the pavement, or it may be upon the seals
selected victim. Then the seal drops In
stantly and swims on silently around. a.
though it never squirted water in the world.

laughter.-New York Sun.

A Veteran Theater-aoer

Mr.. Gladstone had lifelong interest in
the theaters as in most other things. At
one time eminent players, English and 9TH
er, found places at his table in Carlton
house gardens. His memory Of the stage
reached from the closing days of Edmund
Kean, and 1t Is possible that as child he
might have seen John Philip Kemble He
was warm friend and great admirer Of
Charles Kean, and almost to the end of his
days he attended the performances at the

the stage in a different sense. This was
when. as chancellor of the exchequer, he
was caricatured by w. H. Fisher, in 1.-THE

Shakespearean Notes

Thanks to the generosity of Sir Arthur
Hodgson, the Shakespeare library at Strait
ford-on-Avon is no longer open to the re-
proach of lacking a copy of the f1rst-folio
Shakespeare. The Ashburnham example,
purchased recently for 95S5, is to enrich the
collection. 1t is very good ordinary copy.
Minnie Seligman has been engaged for
the summer Shakespearean revival at st.

In a lecture on Shakespeare by Justice
Madden at the Royal institution, the learn
ed Judge referred to "the frequent use of
legal phraseology in the works of Shake
speare." Commenting thereon, he said:
1.-The legal terms and illusions were for
the most part of casual character, intro
duced without special reference to the mat
ter in hand or to the context, with which
they were often out of harmony. But when
terms of art were used, not of set purpose,
but because they presented themselves un-
hidden to the writer's mind, it was impos-
sible to avoid the conclusion that they had
somehow or other become part of his men,
tai equipment Allusions to field sports and
horsemanship were scattered throughout
,Shakespeare's works, and there was dis
tinctive note about them which was not
to be found in the detailed descriptions or
casual allusions of any other writer. Here
the Shakespeare of fact and tradition was
in perfect accord with the testimony of his
earlier works. The unity of Shakespeare
had not yet been questioned, but a genera
ton which denied his existence might fair
ly be expected to question his unity. When
John Bright said that any man who be-
lieves that William Shakespeare of STRAIT
