really dignified by being arrested by
an honest policeman. Nothing short OF
the fist of manly man or horsewhip
vigorously applied, is really adequate
to his case. Unhappily these are for
hidden by the law, and besides, the
masher takes pains to Ply his avoca-

of necessity the only remedy against
him is the vigilant detective.

Money Value of shakespeare's Fame.

The London Financial News esti-
mates that the fame which attaches to
Stratford-on-Avon because OF the fact
that Shakespeare was born there is
worth S5,OOO,OO0 to that town. The
charges for admission to the poets
house, to Anne Hathaway's cottage, to
the church, to the memorial and to the
grammar school get $15O,OOO yearly-a
sum which is equivalent to IN income
of three per cent on the S5000,000 cap
ital. This calculation does not take
into account the income to the rail-
ways from the pilgrims 10 the War;
wickshire Mecca. and there is no esti-
mate of the profits of the Stratford
tradesmen, who do good business in
photographs, pamphlets, and trinkets
relating to the town and the great
bard.

The most popular of Italian authors,
Edmondo de Amicis, of whose 'Cuore"
2S5,000 copies have been sold, has just
brought out his memoirs. They tell
less about himself than about his

was his attempt. as boy of thirteen,
to escape from his home, and, with
some other boys. to join Garibaldi's
forces on the way to Italy. His moth
