One day the doctor in charge was

Tommy had the thermometer in his

his chance. He pulled the thermometer
out of his mouth and popped it into a

Censorine Shakespeare.

A masterpiece of censorship was once
performed by the Turkish censor, Mis-
chan Effendi, on the occasion Of the
production of Shakespeare's "Othello''
at Constantinople He corrected the
drama so thoroughly as to leave hard
ly a trace of the original. Among 9th
er words, be expunged Cyprus" Civ
ing ingenious reasons for this correc-
tion. Cyprus" he said, ''is Turkish
island. 1t would be politically unwise
to send Othello to Cyprus, because the
territorial integrity Of Turkey is guar
anteed by treaties. Why not put, in
stead of Cyprus, some Greek island,
such as Corfu?" And thus it came to
pass that from respect to the treaty OF
Paris Othello had to go to Corfu.

'The habit is acquired, suppose, in
