Reading Shakespeare.

If Mr., Dana would sound the tocsin and tell
men and women of all grades of life what
pleasure and profit they might secure by read
ing Shakespeares plays, he would be bene-
factor to his racc.-M. p. II. in The Tribune.
Things that are better than pleas
ure, more valuable than profit, they
might thus secure. The soul would
be illuminated, the intellect broad
ened, the spiritual nature exalted,
the affections refined, the life digni-
fed, the whole of the cherishable
powers of manhood or womanhood
inspired and augmented, The intiu-
ence of Shakespeare's genius is emo
bling. 1t pervadeth one and COM
passeth all; it dealeth with the visi-
bic world and the invisible, tho right
and the wrong, the craft and the
stuff, the passions and tho reason,
the images of form and their shad-
ows, the beautiful and the hateful,
the specters, the chimeras and what
ever else there be in s. ace, time or
fancy. We tell all men and women
that there is no other one like unto
Shakespeare. When he entereth the
mind and taketh possession of the
heart, there can DO no place in the
thought or in the habit for aught
that is mean.-Charles A. Dana

Russian Etiquette.

If you invite Russian to dinner,
make point of offering him before
he takes his seat at the table certain
hors deuvres, and above all do not
forget to accompany these with a
dram of spirits. The stronger the
latter the higher the Russian guest
will esteem his entertainer, who
must pour the cognac out himself,
not into a liquor glass, but into a
bordeaux glass, and it is indispensa-
BILE that he should drain the entire
bumper to the health of his guest be-
fore the latter has time to put his
glass to his lips, Each time you make
a speech at dinner, or at any repast,
be careful to have your glass filled to
the brim before you begin speaking,
and the moment you have concluded
your remarks drain your glass to the
very last drop at gulp, since that if
the slightest heeltap remains it means
in the eyes of the Russians that your
remarks have been insincere. Petite

What Sleep Is Scientifically.

The great German scientist, Herr
Rosenbaum, says that the anemic
condition of the brain is due to an
excess Of water in the cells Of that
body-a sort Of water on the brain.
Sleep, according to his theory, is es-
pecially matter of nervous action
the fatigue of the nerve cells which
communicate with the heart and
bring about change in the circula-
ton. The nervous cells are full Of
water when sleep comes on, which
during sleep passes into the venous
blood as waste, while the nerve cells
receive nourishment from fresh ar
terial blood. When the process is en-
tirely, over the sleeper a~akes, unless
he is disturbed sooner.
According to Rosenbaum's theory,
sleep is not only healthy because Of
the rest it gives the entire body, but
actually invigorating in itself. Those
who have imagined that slumber was
simply quiet and rest for an over.
worked and fatigued mind or body
will be surprised to learn that the
scientists are divided in opinion as to
whether it is pressure on the brain,
similar to vertigo and other attacks
which produce Inconsistencies, or a
mild form Of hydrocephalus. New

Burial Armor and Shrouds.

The custom which still prevails OF
sewing up a corpse in flannel origi.
mated doubtless in the act of parlia
ment, 1S and 10 Charles II, which was
passed for the encouragement of the
wooden trade and required all bodies
to be buried in wooden shrouds. Two
amending statutes were passed-1678
and 16SO-requiring at the funeral an
affidavit to be delivered to the priest
stating that the requirements of tie
law had been carried out; otherwise
penalties were incurred. These acts
were repealed by 81 George III, al
though long before that time the
penalties for noncompliance with
the law had ceased to be enforced.
During the operation of the acts for
burying in wooden the law was some
times evaded by covering the corpse
with hay or flowers, notification OF
which is sometimes met with in the
parish registers.
Burial in armor was not at all I'M
common in the middle ages, and was
considered most honorable form Of
burial. Sir Walter Scott in THE Lay
of the Last Minstrel" thus refers to it:
Seem'd all on fire that chapel proud,
Where Roslin's chiefs uncoffln'd lie.
Each baron for a sable shroud
Sheathed In his iron panopy.

MIS- FAMOUS RINGS:
4 Phenomenon Unlike Anything Else In
tho Whole Solar System.

1 Phenomenon Unlike Anything Else In
tho Whole Solar System.
Every one who has given the least
attention possible to astronomical
curios knows that Saturn presents
phenomenon to which there is moth
ing analogous in the whole OF the
eolar systcm-two broad, fiat and
very thin rings being his constant at
PENDANTS in lis trips around the sun.
G,slileo first noticed a popularity in
the appearance of this hinged planet,
which he said appeared like large
body placed between two smaller
ones" Huygens first described the
rings and figured them for the bene-
fit of those not fortunate enough to
own telescope.
The breadth Of these rings from the
outer diameter Of the larger to the
inner edge of the smaller has been
computed at $4,000 miles; total di-
ameter Of the outer ring, 167 900
miles, and space of 10000 miles IS
supposed to intervene between the
inner edge Of the small ring ana the
surface of the planet itself.
The composition of these rings. or,
rather, this system of rings-some
authors mention three and even four,
although I have mentioned but two
in the opening, which seems to be
the number accorded by the majority
of writers-is simply a matter OF con-
lecture. Some astronomers claim
that they are composed of material
similar to that of the planet itself,
while others are sure that they are
composed of numerous satellites
(moons) mingled with vaporous mat
ter travelling in planes"
Maxwell says, THE rings must be
formed of separate particles moving
around the planet as independent
satellites" According to Otto Strive,
observations on the rings for a period
over 200 years prove beyond a doubt
that they are widening, and that the
lower edge Of the inner one is slowly
but certainly approaching the body
of the planet. Louis Republic.

A Remarkable Case Of Psychic Power.

A friend of mine who is quite we'll
known in literary circles, but who is
not willing that her name be given,
related to me short time ago
striking experience. She requested
friend in whom she had great con-
fdence and who possessed certain
degree of physic power to try and
see where she was and what she was
doing on certain evening. The two
individuals were many hundred miles
apart The friend in striving to ac-
complish this feat fell into pro-
found trance, in which he was found
by friends, who thought him dead
and had him medically treated.
When he recovered, he wrote his
friend, saying: "At such an hour you
were in your room. A visitor was
announced. He was a person had
never seen, but ! will describe him
to YOU" He then gave detailed de-
scription of the caller. All the facts
were exactly as stated Arena.

How to Get Warm.

1t may not be generally known
that when exposed to severe cold u
feeling of warmth is readily created
by repeatedly filling the lungs to
their utmost extent in the following
manner: Throw the shoulders we'll
back and hold head well up. In
fate the lungs slowly, the air en-
teIing entirely through the nose.
When the lungs are completely
filled, hold the breath for 10 seconds
or longer and then expel it quickly
through the mouth. After repeat
ing the exercise while one is chilly a
feeling of warmth will be felt over
the entire body, even in the feet and
hands. 1t is worth while practiQing
this exercise many times each day
and especially when in the open air.

Il is strange thing that the no

short, while those of little countries
are very long. For instance, God

sian hymn 16 bars, and Hail, Column
bia, the foremost among the Ameri-
can airs, has 90 bars. On the other
hand, Slams national hymn has 70
bars, that Of Uruguay 20, Chili's 40,
and so on. San Marine, the smallest
republic in the world, has the long

hymn of China is SO long that, when
people want to hear it, they have

listen to its strains. London Million.

Aluminium Paint.

It is stated that aluminium, when
reduced to powder and mixed with q
solution IN water of gum lac, gives a
metallic paint which covers well and
may be shaded with aniline colors
dissolved in water. The solution Of
gum lac is made by bringing to boil
Ing point mixture of gum lac and
borax and an alkali such as soda or
ammoniac The solution must con-
tain at least from Is to 20 per cent
of gum lac. Aniline colors arc add
ed to produce the shade desired, and
aluminium is added in sufficient
quantity to produce paint sufi-
GENTLY fluid for application with
brush. The color is brilliant, very
durable and impermeable and may
be applied to metals, paper, wood
and wooden materials. 1t may he
rendered supple by the addition Of a
small quantity of glycerin.-St.
