Rare Bon Jonson.

Ben Jonson began life in the hum
BILE capacity of apprentice to a brick
layer. His father having died prior
to his birth, his mother remarked
soon a%fterward. her second husband
being a bricklayer. Failing to recog.
nize in the sturdy stepson a prospec-
tive genius of poetry and drama, he
compelled him to give him a hand at
laying bricks. Disguised with this sort
of toll, the boy oon ran away and
enlisted as a soldier, going to the Meth
erlands. There be distinguished him.
self for his gallantry. On bis return to
England he went to st. Johns college,
Cambridge. but was so poor that he
soon had to abandon his studies and
turn to the stage for a living. 1t was
IN this period Of his life that he fought
a duel and killed his antagonist. On
the accession of James l. to the throne
the dramatist came into great favor at
court. In 1919 the king made him
poet laureate. and history tells us that
the pay of the berth was raised from
a hundred marks to as many pounds q
year. His majesty also showed his
fondness for the poet and dramatist by
throwing in an annual butt Of Ca.
nary wine New York Times.

The Earliest Cold Storage.

In Macaulay's essay on Lord Ba-
con" he points out that in 1926 the
subject of his memoir tried the expert
ment of stufing a fowl with snow to
prevent it from putrefying and in car
rying out the work caught cold. from
which he died. M~acaulay adds: "In
the last letter that he ever wrote, with
fingers which, as he said, could not
steadily hold a pen, he did not omit to
mention that the experiment of the
snow bad succeeded excellently WELL"
If, however, we turn to nature there
are instances in Siberia of mammoths
preserved in ice so that their flesh is
still eatable from a period probably
coeval with the first appearance Of
man on this globe. If the Romans
brought to their banquets the dainties
of the known world, had they not some
knowledge of cold storage?-E. H. Hill

A Phillip, Brook. Story.

In the Christian Endeavor World the
Rev. Francis 3. Clark writes Of his at
tending Andover Theological seminary
with John Cotton Brooks, brother of
the famous Massachusetts, bishop and
rector, the Rev. Phillips Brooks. The
writer says:
I recall one repartee which John
Brooks ascribed to his brother Phillips.
A famous but sensational Boston
preacher, who soo afterward fell
from his high estate, being a great
sportsman and decidedly "horsy," had
written a much advertised book en-
titled '"The Perfect Horse" "Yes,"
said Phillips Brooks, "'The Perfect
Horse by the perfect ass" This was
the only sentiment bordering on i'll
nature that I ever heard attributed to
this most genial and kind hearted Of
men, and this could easily be forgiven
when one remembers the skyrocket
preacher of whom it was said.

Dr., Johnson's Revenge.

Tom Osborne, the bookseller, was
one of "that mercantile rugged race to
which the delicacy of the poet Is some
times exposed"
Osborne. irritated by what he
thought an unnecessary delay on the
part of johnson, went n day into the
room where Johnson was sitting and
abused him in the most liberal man.
ner. Johnson heard him some time un-
moved. but at last, losing all patience.
he seized a huge folio and, aiming a
blow at the booksellers head, succeed
ed in sending him sprawling to the
floor. Osborne alarmed the family by
his cries, but Johnson, placing his foot
on his breast. would not let him stir
until he had exposed him in that situa-
ton and then left him with this tri-
umphant expression: Lie there, thou
son of dullness, ignorance and obscur-
ity."-From Kearsley's Anecdotes"

The Splendid Aston Villa That Over.
looks the Bay Of Naples.
William Waldorf Astor's splendid
villa at Sorrento stands on a gray rock
$50 feet above the sea in a garden Of
orange trees. 1t formerly belonged to
Barone Boechigliero Labonia, from
whose heirs Mr.. Aston bought it some
years ago. He enlarged the domain by
the purchase of the old convent of st.
George and other estates.
The house is a three story one, paint
ed in light colors. 1t is reached by a
little road on the old walls Of Sor-
rento which passes before the Hotel
Tasso. where the poet, Torquato
Tasso, was born in 1874. For the
splendor Of its view the spot where
the Villa Astor is built cannot be
equaled. The gulf Of Naples lies before
it, with smoky Vesuvius in front. Be-
low the Villa Astor can still be seen
in the sea the remains Of the Roman
temples to Neptune, Venus Anadyo-
meme and Saturn.
In old Roman times Sorrento was a
health resort. and great patricians had
villas there. Pollia Asinio had one
with a hundred rooms at the Capo
Santa Fortunate, and Caesar, Nero
and Antonius were other villa owners.

Several relics of exceptional value

Next morning Frau Knoll applied for
