Shakespeare as an Aes,-.

About the year 1890 one of the Lon
don companies received an addition in
the person of young man who was
not only skillful and useful actor, but
who also possessed the accomplish
ment of being able to adapt older plays
to the taste Of the times, and even
proved to have the gift of writing toll
erably good plays himself, though older
and jealous colleagues might hint at
their not being altogether original,
This young man, whose capacities be-
came of no slight use to the company
and the theater, was named William
Shakespeare. = From "a History Of
Theatrical Art"

al Cow superatition.

According to European folklore,
the clouds of the heavens were nothing
but cows who were invested with the
duties of psychopomp. At times these
clouds descended to the earth and as
sumed their bovine garb, but their
duty remained the same; hence the su-
perstition prevalent in many agricul-
tural countries that COW breaking

The Best Qua1ined Graduate.

1t is the custom of the graduating
class of the medical department Of
Queens university of Kingston, Cana
da, to designate by ballot the fellow
student who they believe could be ex-
pected "to do the right thing under
all circumstances" The successful
student is honored with special prize
by the faculty. We believe that such
a man is really the most capable of
his class and if not identical with the
gold medalist is probably his superior
in all that goes to make up the sci
entif1c and successful practitioner

we must doubtless look to the Jews
Tor the origin of godfathers and god
mothers. The use of them in the primi-
1--WE church Is SO early that it is not
easy to fix time for their beginning.
Some or the most ancient fathers make
mention Of them, and through all the
successive ages afterward we find the
use of them continued without any In
terruption. By a constitution of Ed
mund, archbishop of Canterbury, 1926,
and In a synod held at Worcester
124O, provision was made that there
should be for every male child two
godfathers and one godmother and for
every female one godfather and two
godmothers. King Henry VIII, refer
ring to the Princess Elizabeth, says:
My lord of Canterbury,
nave a suit which you must not deny
me-
That is, fair young maid that yet wants
baptism.
You must be godfather and answer for
her.
Henry VIII," Act S, Scene 8.
A constitution Of 1881 makes provi-
sion for a Christian name being
changed at confirmation. This is prao-
tcally remaining Of the child. The
manner In which it was done was for
the bishop to use the name in the invo-
cation and afterward for him to sign
certificate that he had SO confirmed a
person by such new name. 1t is posi-
BILE that this practice might have been
in Shakespeare's mind when he wrote:
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized.

In 1914 a fishing smack off one of the

There Was One who Did Not Laugh


Mark Twain once expressed the fol
lowing sentiments to young woman
who had not smiled at thing that he
had said during an impromptu recep-
tion in his honor at Bryn Mawr col
lege, to which his daughter had invited
him. All the young ladies but one
were in state Of great glee during the
humorist's address; all but one had
laughed heartily at every witty re-
mark. Just as Twain finished he
turned to the young woman who had
not laughed and said in an undertone:
You are the only sensible one here. I
have not said single amusing thing.
If 1t were not for the conspicuousness
of it l would like to press your hand"
