Why Shakespeare End urea.

What interests US in Shakespeare's
plays is not the plays themselves, but
the (strictly irrelevanb 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 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 Shake
spearean play is according solely to the
illuminatiye rightness of the conception
of the chief character or characters and
to the sonorous beauty with which the
verse is acclaimed by allASaturday
Review.

willow Tree. In America.

The weeping willow tree came to
America through the medium OF Alex
ander Pope, the poet, who planted a
willow twig on the banks Of the Thames
at his Twickenham villa. The twig
came to him in box Of figs sent from
Smyrna by friend who had lost all in
the south sea bubble and had gone to
that distant land to recoup his fortunes.
A young British officer who came to
Boston with the army to crush the re-
bellion of the American colonies brought
with him a twig from Pope's now beau
tiful willow tree, intending to plant it
In America when he should comforta-
biz settle down on lands confiscated
from the conquered Americans. The
young officer, disappointed in these ex-
pectations, gave his willow twig, wrap
ped in Oil silk. to John Parke Gusts,
Mrs. Washington's son, who planted 1t
on his Abingdon estate, in Virginia. 1t
thrived and became the progenitor Of
all our willow trees.

Not little WOLF" as the ignorant

but something Of greater dignity-an
embodiment of the terrible spirit of the

Wonderful in its strength and courage.
a tree climber ON occasion, not immense

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,

broad bands of yellow white upon its
back and shoulders. Woe to the small

peninsula was the chosen habitat Of
the wolverine and he struggled long

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.

If boys could learn at school all about
education, that would only leave them
very dull persons. The object OF their
education at school Is to give boys men-
tai alertness and an eternal curiosity,
and its real test is whether it leaves
them always saying to themselves,
"WhyT l do not know whether you
have ever thought about it, but all the
great discoveries of the world have
come because some one has asked that
question. The records Of industry show
nothing more clearly than that all real
mental skill depends on asking ques-
tons. The answer is sure to follow.
The real mental capacity is not dis
played by the man who answers the
question, but by the man who asks it,

Pigeon. Milk Not . Joke.

The joke about pigeons milk has a
foundation in fact. After the incuba-
ton Of the young has been completed,
the crops of the parent bird become
thicker and secrete a sort of curd, with
which the young are fed. This de-
scription of nourishment is necessary
for them, for IL the young pigeons are
deprived OF it during the first week or
two after Matching they are sure to die.

what in theatrical parlance Is well

and after silent pause he continued:
II went the other night to show, and

me, we have well dressed house to-
night, SIR supposed he meant that
the audience was sporting its best
clothes, but / found on looking about
that this was not true, and so between

meant. He answered: 4 meant that
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 house is to distribute an audi
ence all over 1t so 1t looks full when 1t
is, as a 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 Oh looking at it you have the
impression that it is fairly well filed.
Every ticket seller should see to it that
his house is dressed properly. That Is

far up front as you would like Phil
