SHAKESPEARE'S NAME,
The Great Poet Himself Spelled \
 In Different Ways,

The Great Poet Himself Spelled Kt
 In Different Ways,
 Our great poet Shakespeare spelled 4is surname in two ways-viz, "Shak- spere" and Shakespeare" in writing the three signatures to his will, now at Somerset House. Besides these three there are two other authentic sigma lures, of which the first, in the eon- veyance of his Rlackfriars property, Is written "Shakspere," and the second, in the mortgage deed relating to the same property, has been interpreted both as "Shakspere" and shakespeare" "Shakspere" Is the spelling of the al legged autograph in the British mu- scum copy of Florio's "Montaigne," but the authenticity of the signature is considered doubtful. The name of the poets father occurs siXty-six times in the council books of Stratford and Is spelled in sixteen ways, the com honest form being "Shaxpere" AL most all references to the poet in the seventeenth century give the form Shakespeare" which is used also on the grant of arms in 1896, in the li- cense to the players of 1903 and in the text of al! the legal documents relat- ing to the poets property. That the poet sanctioned this spelling is clear from its adoption in the Venus and Adonis" of 1593 and the "Lucrece" of 1594, which were produced under his superYisiQp,-London Standard.

A FOOL AND HIS MONEY.
The CreduIity of Men and the GOspe
 of the Para sites.

The CreduIity of Men and the Gospel
 of the Parasites.
 The credulity of a multitude of more or less thrifty people, who, in their mania for money, ere ready to believe that they can amass fortunes over- night, makes them the easy prey of a swarm of parasites who infest the financial districts. The gospel of the parasites who build air castles for their victims and real castles for themselves is terse:
 "A fool is born every minute"
 "A fool and his money are soon parted" .....
 Posing as bankers and brokers, the financial parasites SCOUT the country fa.~the fools and then exercise their nimble wits in devising schemes to ac- complish the partition. How many millio@esof dollars are parted from the fools every year may be conjectured from the millions of dollars spent by the pseudo-financiers in advertising. The bulk of the financial advertising in the leading newspapers of the coun- try is intended for the fools. Another index of the richness Of the harvest of parting money from the fools is the occasional exposure of some particu- larly glaring and bungled imposture, when the calculable "swag" runs into the hundreds of thousands, if not into millions. But these frauds are seldom exposed, for the victims are usually as anxious as the victimizers to escape the limelight of publicity. Most men prefer to lose thir money rather than hear their neighbors quote from the parasites gospel, "A fool and his money are soon parted. d."-Success.

THE SPANISH WOMAN.
She Is Beautiful, Proud, Simple ant
 Radiantly Feminine.

She Is Beautiful, Proud, Simple and
 Radiantly Feminine.
 What women are more adorable, SC proud, so simple, so radiantly feminine AS a type, the Spanish woman of the south is unique. She is small and slen- der, exquisitely proportioned, with tiny but beautifully shaped hands and feet Her head, poised proudly on 2 torso of classical symmetry, is small, aud heg hair is black and crisp, of the bluisn tint peculiar to the raven. Her face IS oval, such as Ruskin admired, finely chiseled, frank and childish; her lips full, red and pouting; her nose slightly aquiline with nervous, quivering nos trils. Her eyes, almond shaped, dark, lustrous, pensive and passionate, now flash open like globes of fire, now dreamily close as if in sadness. In her white lace shawl and the flowers of Spain in her hair she is quite ire sistible, yet DO prouder creature ex- ists, nor less oequettish nature: Her love consumes her, and she would no more smoke a cigarette than she would play hockey or golf She is simple as a bird, wayward and captious as 8 child; sincere, for she does not know what 1t Is to be insincere. When she loves she will die for you, but when she hates she will slay you with a glance as keen as any dagger,-New York Mail.

Rewards or Literature.

A very talented and we'll known wrIter-successfuI, too, in the popular estimation-tells me: T know a man who spent fifteen years leisure in get ting the material for his best book and writing 1t over three times. then offer ed It to almost every publisher in America, meeting with refusal by ali and finally sold 1t to a London pubr fisher for $50, had 1t republished in America some years afterward. got a few dollars before the publishers fail ed and as his last royalty received just 2 cents, which was exactly 10 per cent of the last sum due him. I am the man, but don't publish the fact nor feel inclined to brag about 1t nor to complain. for that would be useless and would only cheapen my wares in the literary market. The book paid me. by accurate calculation. 3315 cents a week for the fifteen years work" Papyrus.

POpulOus Cheese,

A professor of the Swiss Dairy school at Sonntal has compiled statistics ol the number of micro organisms found in cheese. His experiments lead to the conclusion that every gram (one-thir- tieth part of an ounce) of fresh En- menthaler (Swiss) cheese contains be- tween 90,OO0 and 100000 living germs. After two months the number has in- creased to S0O.O00. Cream cheese con- tains a still larger number of animal culae, a gram harboring after three weeks 750,O0O, rising to 100000 after a month and half These figures ap- ply only to the center of the cheese, while close to the rlnd families num- bering 5,5OO,0OO bacteria may be found in every gram of cheese. In about one and half pounds of cream cheese, the professor estimates, there are as many germs as there are human beings on the face of the globe. It is SUD- posed that all or most of these mi crobes are friendly ones and assist tp the digestive process. We hone so.

Italian Passion.

The emotional temperament of the Italiana is shown even in their "agony advertf ments" This is from an Ital- ian pap terday when saw you I had then received your dear let ter. In1 Zine in what state of desola- ton I haa been. The day was to me veritable agony I could not dis cover reason for your silence. You may guesahow suffered But at last yesterday evening again saw your adorable handwriting Thanks, thanks, with the whole of my soul. Thus, at any rate, we may part with tranquil hearts. But when think we shall never see one another again my soul freezes. Write to me often, for I have need of your gentleness, and I have a foreboding that shall succumb to the pestilential climate of the country I am going to. And I shall write every other day to you. To you all my soul, all my love, sweetest and most adOr- able crea ture." .

A Surprise For Horace Greeley

In the early days of the suffragist movement Miss Susan B. Anthony had no more bitter opponent than Horace Greeleg. says a writer in the Boston TranseTIpt. It was for long time his custom 10 wind up all debates with the ponc 6sive remark, ''The best wo- men I M do not want to vote"
 When New York constitution was being EterBd in 1867 Miss Anthony |afd train for him. She wrote to
 Mrs Greeley and persuaded the ed. kOr's wife not only to sign petition NRE Woman's suffrage herself, but to
 Kculake the paper and get 300 sigma VNees among her acquaintances. In the committee MT. Greeley, who was chair mab had listened to the debate and prepaFed to introduce to the conven- ton an adverse report. He was just about to utter his usual settler" when George William Curtis rose.
 "Mr. Chairman" said he, "I hold in my hand a petition for suffrage signed by 300 women of Westchester. headed by Mrs. Horace Greeley"
 The chairman's embarrassment could hardly be controlled. He had found at least one of ''the best women I know" wanted to vote, but he reveng. ed himself later upon the leaders by scathing editorials.

Travelling InCOgnitO,

Some investigator of curious. sub- jects has discovered that the inventor of travelling incognito was Peter the Great of Russia. The next after the famous Russian sovereign to adopt the practice was Joseph II. of Austria, who in 1777 made little stay in Paris un- der the title of Count von Falkenstefn. During the revolutionary period Louis XVIII. buried his temporarily useless royal dignity under the privacy of Comte de Lille, while Charles X. pass ed as the Comte de Marles.

Bird. Have Favorite Plants.

Like man, birds have their favorite plants. It has been discovered that the goldfinch Is passionately fond of apple blossom. This may be because it's fa- vorite building site is in the lichen covered forks of apple trees, but apart from such attachment the bright little finch frequently spends hours tearing the petals into tiny fragments. Though the nightingale never builds in the thorn boughs. 1t loves to sing on may laden branches. often in the very midst of the fragrant blossoms. It is some what peculiar that most birds avoid the COW parsnip. owing, no doubt, to the unpleasant greenish smell emitted by this umbelliferous plant. Small birds very often build in less secure places, but the parsnip, gigantic and strong as 1t is, Is left severely alone.-London Opinion.

a Lucky nscape.

During the Spanish war, while the battleships were on blockade at San tiago 1t was customary to load the six pounder guns every evening to protect against possible torpedo boat attack. While the triggers were being eased down one of the guns on the Massachusetts was accidentally dis charged, the shot passing over the quarter deck of the Texas, which was lying next in the blockading line All the officers of the Texas were on deck smoking and talking when the shot passed few feet above their heads. Almost before it struck the water a signal was started on the Texas from It's commanding officer, Captain Jack Phillips, to the commanding officer of the Massachusetts. The signal was, Good line, but trif1e high."-Har- per's Weekly.

A Quaint Inn Sign.

At Boxted, in Essex, England, there Is a beer house with the strange sign of the Whig and Fidget. Inquiry elicit ed the fact that the house was built many years ago by man who was a Whig in his political opinions. His neighbors also regarded him as q "1dgety" man; hence when the house was opened the people of the parish, having regard to its owners peculiar ities, named 1t the Whig and Fidget, otherwise tbS Fidgety Whig.

The Robber,s Grave at Montgomery.

The Robbers Grave at Montgomery.
 In a corner of the churchyard of Montgomery, writes a correspondent, is a bare space, known as "the rob- ber's grave" It is not a raised mound of earth, but is below the surround ing ground, which is especially luxuri- ant. The date of the grave is 1921, and numerous attempts have been made to grow grass upon the bare spot. Fresh soil was frequently spread upon it, but not blade of grass is to be seen. The shape of a cross is still distinctly visi- ble It is the grave of a man named Newton, charged with highway rob- bery and violence and sentenced to be hanged. He protested his innocence. "In meek dependence of a merciful God, whom have offended, but who, through the atonement of his blessed Son, has, trust, pardoned my offenses, I venture to assert that if am inno- cent of the crime for which I suffer the grass for one generation at least will not cover my grave" Men of eighty bear witness that never since they were children has there been grass on the grave-W Westminster Gazette.
