ohaksspsars's Plays and the Werk
l HE Commentators.


Shakespeare was a professional
playwright, and he had no merely
academic theories. In composing
his plays he followed unhesitatingiy
the principles that had guided his
Immediate predecessors. He was
seeking ever to give the playgolng
lpublc what it had been accustomed
to enjoy in the theater, better IN
degree, no doubt, but the same IN
kind. Like these predecessors, ne
kept to the traditions inherited
from the mediaeval mysteries. and
he thought in terms, not OF acts
and of scenes, as modern play
wright is forced to do, but OF con-
tinuous narrative shown in action.
There is no reason to suppose that

be traced as far back as the time OF
Pythagoras, who is said to have ex-
amined carefully the faces OF ms

them to his school. Hippocrates,
$50 B. c., refers to the science, and
Cicero has many references to 1T.
The first systematic treatise on the
subject that has come down to -, US
is that attributed to Aristotle. Ihe
sixteenth century was particularly
rich in literature on physlognomy,

greater interest in the science' La,

Bad Roads, indeed.

1t is no wonder that the grangers are

roads, as the mud is something 1orihi-
dable on the country roads. AT East

day on account of the muddy condition
of the roads, says the Hartford Times.

they should use the short words

long words are found, and they al
