Especial Correspondence

The little towns of Stratford-on-Avon
is famous only as the birthplace of the
immortal Shakespeare. Fortunately
the house in which the poet was born
on the 2Srd of April, 1864, is now ma
tional property and is most carefully
protected. Hither go every year about
$4,000 visitors, most of them Ameri-
cans. The building has undergone
some changes since Shakespeare
time, but the old timbered framework
Is the same. On the first floor little
room facing the street is pointed out
a. the one in which the Bard of STRAIT
ford first saw the light The walls are
literally covered with inscriptions
written or carved in every tongue, an
Indicating thus an endless throng of
pilgrims of all ranks. from prince to
peasant. Elsewhere these name7
would be an outrage; but here, in
memory of the universal genius, they
seem proof of the spontaneous, world
wide homage of mankind. Among
them are the names of Byron, Sir Wal
ter Scott, Thackeray, Dickens, Tom
Moore, Washington irving and the
Duke of Wellington In other rooms
are exhibited many interesting relics
of Shakespeare, including his portraits,
his school desk, several early editions
of his works, and his signet ring Not
far from this house is the lovely
church in which all that was mortal of
this sublime genius was laid away
to rest beneath that weird and we'll

Date of Birth Unknown.

While William Shakespeare was
christened on April 26, 1864, it is be-
lieved that he was born on the 23rd
of the month. While his birthday can
not be fixed with absolute certainty,
it is known that he died April %, 1916,
hence the commemoration of this day
by common consent.
William was the third child of John
and Mary Shakespeare. two girls, Joan
and Margaret, having died previous to
his birth. While he was still young his
father fell into poverty and an inter
rupted education left him an inferior
scholar. "He had small Latin and
less Greek" but he had vast store
of English, for he used $1,000 words
and wrote pure English. Out of every

Ann Hathawax,s Cottage.


This charming little cottage still
stands in substantially the same con-
dition as when Shakespeare came here
to whisper to his future wife. Ann
Hathaway the story of his love. 1t
is still occupied by a descendant of
the Hathaway family There can be
little doubt that the man who has
given to the world the most adorable
of lovers. Romeo, must have himself
been an Incompatible sutton For
whatever may be said about great
geniuses making poor husbands there
can be little question of their fascina-
ton in those delightful moments of
uncertainty and novelty commonly
known as courtship and the honey
moon. Standing here, listening to the
nightingales and thrushes, one recalls
with pleasure these lines attributed to
Shakespeare:
Would ye be taught, We feathered throng,
With loves sweet notes to frame your
song2
To pierce my heart with thrilling lay,
List TO my Ann Hathaway
She hath-a way TO sing so clear,

HOUSE FURNISHINGS.
Miss ParIoa's Excellent Advice t
Young Housewives.

Equipment of the house." said Miss
Maria Parloa in a lecture on that sub
ject at the New York Teachers College
should be in accordance with the style
of living and the number of pairs of
hands there are to do the work. 1t is
not only foolish, but criminal, so to ar
range and furnish the house that the
work is double what the available
bands can accomplish.
"A large percentage of the house
keepers in this country break down
from this cause. 1t is not uncommon
to find the mistress and one servant
doing all the work in a house so large
and furnished in such a manner that
there is work enough for three or four
pairs of hands.
Every woman should have a lauda-
BILE pride in her house. but it should
not be an altar which claims her entire
soul and body. Nor should there be
anything in it too good for daily use.
1.-THE equipment of the house in
cludes two classes of objects-essen-
tails and accessories. The essentials
are the appliances for heating, lighting,
sleeping, preparing and serving food,
washing and cleaning. These essen
tials are found in some form, primitive
or elaborate, in every class and nation.
There is no economy in going without
the essentials or purchasing those Of
poor quality. For the essentials buy
well made articles free from ornamen-
tation. This diminishes both the price
and the labor Of caring for them.
"The markets are full of household
goods which are not worth the space
they occupy. After being in use a
short time they become defaced and
the work Of caring for them is doubled.
Their usefulness is of short duration,
and 1t is demoralizing to have all these
cheap. dishonesty made things around.
We feel no respect for a thing which is
made only to sell, without any regard
to suitability or durability. The heat
