by his contemporary, Ben Jonson, com

best plays there are passages which

are acted. According to the prevalent
standard of taste in his time, Shakes
peare was an exceptionally pure writer,
but the standard of taste in his time was
not severe, the writings of some of his
contemporaries are repulsive because of
vulgarity, and some of his own pages are
soiled with impurity. The standard of

Several days ago he and a few friends
were discussing the reputed "clannish-

party were Andy Dunlop, George Bar

Tom Jeffreys and several other kindred

Some of the party claimed the charge

the Scotch were not more 'clannish' than
any other nationality,1B The discussion
grew warm and strange to say, Uncle
Jimmie refrained from Joining the debate.

the strictest game laws.
Night hawks are reported moro plenti-
full than ever.
Swallows of all kinds are plentiful in
the north, though forced to migrate from
several southern states. The barn swal-
low still exists in prohibition districts.
The three distinct species of larks, in
GLIDING the night lark, are increasing I'M
der the protection of the new laws. The
meadow lark Is still confined to the
country districts and Is at its best during
the vacation period.
The king-bird and the jack-daw do not
pair up at all. They are always fighting.
1t takes three of these Jacks to beat two
King-birds.
The canvasback duck flies the highest
