Shakespeare and English.

There is an old, very old, tale
told cf venerable lady who, after
seeing the play Of Hamlet for the
first time, said, cit is very good
play as plays 60, but it is made up
of quotations" This good dame,
although she was probably unaware
of it, was acknowledging, in round
about way perhaps, the indebted
ness Of the English language to our
national bard. Phrases, sentences
and sometimes whole lines from his
writings have been crystaliized, as il
we're, into colloquial English, ant
there are probably more quotations
drawn from the works of Shake.

A,nisoinle of Cleanliness.

A teacher in one of the public
schools was endeavoring to inculcate
in her pupils proper regard for the
virtues Of cleanliness. After her
instructive little talk she asked the
children to give their own views on
the subject, whereat a student OF
eight raised his hand.
"Well, George"
And George thereupon uttered this
wise comment:

MYSTERY OF SPACE.
The Sun Would Be Hardly Visible
Alongside the Ploiades.

- * i.
II our sun were removed to the
Pieiades it would hardly be visible III
nm opera glass, with which nearly
100 stars can be seen in the clus-
ter. Sixty or seventy Pleiades sur
pass our sun in brilliancy, Alcyone
being 1000 times more brilliant,
Electra 500 times and Maia nearly
400. Sirius itself takes subordi-
nate rank when compared with the
live most brilliant members Of a
group the real magnifcence of
which we can thus in some degree
apprehend. n
If we seek to know the dimen
sions OF the cluster itself we are
met with many difficulties, but on
the assumption that it is approx
mately spherical in shape we can
calculate its diameter to be over
10000, 100000 miles. If we think
OF the dimensions of our solar sys-
tenn by themselves or in relation to
terrestrial matter they appear stu
pendously enormous. Neptune, the
most distant known member, has
an orbit over 5,000,OOO,O0O miles
Icross, but the solar system is to the
Pleiades but Lilliputian to Brob-
dingnagian, is but as microbe to a
mountain, for a sphere the size Of
the solar system would, if it were
spherical and its diameter that Of
the orbit Of Neptune, be relatively
so minute that it could be contained
more than 100000, 100000 times in
sphere the size of the Pleiades.
In other words, the limits of the
Pleiades could contain $50 solar sys-
TENS as many times over as there
are miles between Neptune and the
sun.
1t must not be forgotten that,
though there are 1890 stars in the
cluster, yet with such dimensions
for the entire group vast distances
must separate the stars from one an
other. In fact, 1890 spheres, each
with a diameter of 3,000,000,00O
miles, could be contained in the lin
its assigned to the group, and as
suming equal distribution of the
stars in the group each would be at
the center of sphere 3,0oo,00O,0OC
miles across and therefore a light
journey of 1877 days from its nearest
neighbor.

One Of Toole's Jokes.

One of the practical jokes of j.
L. Toole, the famous English come
dian, is described in the recollec-
tions Of the daughter of James
Hahn Friswell. He and his brother
actor, Lionel Brough, dressed III
ragged clothes, as they appear in
sDearer Than Life" were passing
through one of the most aristocratic
London squares on their way to
photographers to be taken in cos
tune.
Toole knocked at the door of 8
large house and asked the astonish-
ed footman whether his master was
at home.
''No, he's notw said the man
about to bang the door.
''Tell him that his brothers, tht
porter and the pauper, called, anc
