The William Shakespeare Signature

The William Shakespeare Signature
That Admiral Luce Had.
Admiral Luce was in command Of
the north Atlantic squadron in 1885,
and his flagship for a time was an
chored in New York bay, where it
was visited by many people. One day a
party came aboard which included,
among others, very pretty girl and a
very dignified and learned Englishman.
AS Admiral Luce was entertaining
them in his cabin he asked the pretty
girl if she would like to see an original
autograph of William Shakespeare.
At this the dignifed and learned
Englishman pricked up his ears and
remarked that he had made study Of
the autographs of Shakespeare and
was positive there was no authentic
example in America. Admiral Luce re-
piled that he was very positive his was
authentic and that it's genuineness had
never been questioned. This made the
Britisher quite mad, and he delivered
a lecture on the fraudulent autographs
and manuscripts that were brought
over to America and exhibited as orig
inalS.
"Well," replied the admiral, Il am
convinced that my autograph of Will
liam Shakespeare is genuine, and I
am going to have the pleasure of show
ing it to this young lady," whereupon
he went to his desk, took out his vis-
itor's book, turned back a few pages
and then pointed out the signature,
civilian Shakespeare, mayor Of New
Orleans, Jan. II, 1885," The English
man gave a painful gasp and retired.

Horses and Music.

Horses are particularly sensitive to
music. Guenoe, who carefully studied
the matter, quotes the following Curl
GUS fact: ''In 1892 the Fifty-eighth reg
iment of infantry was making mill
tary test march when the music struck
up. The young horse Of Captain De
r. fastened forward and placed itself,
in spite Of it's rider, behind the last rank
of the musicians. Then it followed
peacefully, giving obvious signs of
pleasure.
"When the music ceased the captain
was able to resume his place at the
head of his company. but the band
struck up again, and the horse, not
wthstanding the efforts Of Captain De
R.. galloped ahead and once more
placed itself behind the musicians.
This happened every time the band
played"
Lions have been found to listen with
marked joy to the piano. They appre-
ciate the top notes and the medium,
but roar terribly when the bass keys
are struck loudly.-Paris Revue.

The Birth of Christ.

The exact date of the birth of Christ
is unknown. Among the early churches
there was no agreement as to the date
of the Nativity, some celebrating it in
April or May, others in January. Dec.
25 can hardly be exact, for it falls in
the rainy season of Judea, when shep-
herds would not have been watching
their f1ocks by night in the open. The
December date came into general OBJ
servance naturally, but gradually.
When the heather races of the north

The sooner the college yell is intro

can see at a glance that it contains, at

Among many people of the world
trial marriages are the accepted GUS

considered only as temporary con-

more than one year," the consequence
being that "a large proportion of the
old and middle aged men by frequent
changing have had many wives, and
their children, scattered around the
country, are unknown to them" Evi-
dences of similar practices of expert
