what Is a Wen Dressed House.

"What in theatrical parlance is n well

and after silent pause he continued:

me, We have n we'll dressed house to-
night, sir supposed he meant that
the audience was sporting its best

the house had been seated by the box
Office man very cleverly, so that it bal
anced well, and so that the fact that it
was not small was not perceptible. To
dress a house is TO distribute an audi
ence all over it so it looks full when it
is, as matter of fact, far from being
so. There are here enough people to
fill about the first seven rows of the
orchestra, but the house is well dress
ed, and on looking at it you have the
impression that it is fairly we'll filled
Every ticket seller should see to it that
his house is dressed properly. That is

Why Shakespeare Endures.

What interests us in Shakespeare's
plays is not the plays themselves, but
the (strictly irrelevant truth and beau
ty that he poured into them. We love
them for their matchless poetry and
their matchless insight into the human
soul. Hamlet is for us nothing but
the study of contemplative man dis
tracted by the necessity TO be up and
doing, Macbeth the study of a noble
mind degraded by ambition, "The Mer-
chant of Venice" the study Of racial
strength against contempt and persecu-
ton. Nothing to us now the actual
framework of these studies; everything
the studies themselves and the Ian
guage in which they are set forth. Our
pleasure in the production of a Shake
spearean play is according solely to the
illuminative rightness of the conception
of the chief character or characters and
TO the sonorOus beauty with which the
verse is declaimed by all.-Saturday

THE BRAVE WOLVERINE.
Not a Little Wolf. but Dignihed
Forest Monarch.

Forest Monarch.
Not 'little wolf" as the Ignorant
think. is the significance of wolverine,
but something of greater dignity-an
embodiment of the terrible spirit OF the
wild fire of the prehistoric forests.
Wonderful IN its strength and courage,
tree climber on occasion, not immense
of size, but with limbs and claws great
out of all proportion to its size, with a
muzzle almost hoglike, but with great
white fangs, the beast had still an
element of the grotesque in its makeup
with its sweeping. bushy tail and the
broad bands of yellow white upon its
back and shoulders. Woe to the small
er beast or the deer upon which 1t
dropped from some great low hanging
branch or before which ii suddenly ap-
peared in the dense windfalls.
OF all the continent, the Michigan
peninsula was the chosen habitat OF
the wolverine, and he struggled long
before backwoodsmen drove him from
his heritage. So enduring was he, so
desperately courageous, that his name
became synonym for pluck and
prowess, and proudly the people of
Michigan accept the nickname which
has been given to him.-Outing.

The spanish schoolteacher.

The teacher of any land may be over
worked. He may suffer from the par
simonious policy of the powers and be
underpaid even in our own enlightened
country, but in few countries, certain
ly not in the United States, could such
a story as the one which follows be
truthfully told:
In the streets of Spanish city, says
the author of The Land of the Dons,"
a police officer stumbled on the corpse
of a ragged and emaciated pauper. In
making out his report he asked what
he should enter as the dead mans pro-
fession.
What did he die OFF, asked the mag
istrate.
