Shakespeare Censored.

The dramatic censorship in England
today, much as it is abused, is very
mild compared to what has been
known in former periods when many
of Shakespeare's plays have been cen
sored. Colley Cibber in his autobi-
ography tells US Of one master of the
revels. who was responsible for the
licensing Of plays in his days, expung-
ing the whole first act of Cibber's
adaptation Of Richard ILL.," on the
ground that the distresses of Henry
vi. would remind weak people Of
King James. then living in France.
On another occasion King Lear" was
inhibited during the illness of George
III. George Colman when reader Of
plays banned the use of such words as
angel" and "heaven."-London Mail.

Chairs In the Dark Ages.

The chairs Of the dark ages, modelled
partly on those of the Romans. were in
keeping with the comfortless dwellings
in which the people of the north Of
Europe then passed their lives. The
Saxon kings Of England are represent
ed as seated on thrones in the form Of
a box. the ends slightly raised, the bot
tom advanced to form a sort of foot
stool. There is always a cushion to
add a degree OF comfort and some
times a back In the form Of q cross
piece or remotely resembling the backs
Of Anodern chairs.

miles by daylight all the while
skirting the Pacific caast, in view
of rich orange groves, perfectly dres-

these on the right to charm us and
fill our party with admiration. Yet,
we were impelled to look out on the
left and behold the grand play OF
| the blue ocean waves that changed
| to foam and dashed the shore just
beneath our track. Such a ride was
not looked upon as passing over SO
much ground in order to reach an
other city. but as one of the mosr
desirable features of the trip.
Permit me to say again, There
are two Scenic lines through South
ern California and our party had
| the advantage Of them both.
We left the main line at Castro
Vile. Cal. for charming side trip
to Del Monte, Cal. This like our
trip to Catalina Island, was free to
our party.
Del Monte offers to travellers the
attractions of the worlds most Ia
NOUS mountains and sea side re-
sorts. Tt has a wonderful park
which ranks high among the finest
examples of landscape gardening III
existence It is indeed locality,
being the center of regions full OF
historical memories and romantic
associations.
BebbIe Beach Lodge is built OF
fine logs from the surrounding
forest. It is almost two hundred
feet in length and fifty feet in width
situated on a gentle slope, it faces
the bav and the Southern Sun.
Close by is old Monterey, the first
capital of California. In 1912 only
fifty wears after Columbus discov-
cred America Cabrillo sailed to this
nart and marked it on his chart.
In 1902, eighteen years before the

the Duke of Monterey.
