who had seen him on the stage a, good number, at least, who knew his repu- tation; and Dryden wrote thus of Shakespeare and his want of classical learning:
 Shakespeare was the man who, of all modern, and, perhaps, ancient, poets, had the largest and most comprehensive soul, All the images of nature were still pres 4 ent to him, and he drew them not la boriously, but luckily; when he de- scribes anything. you more than see it, you feel it, too. Those who accuse him to have wanted learning, give him the greater coInmendation. {. MT. t.ale of Eaton said there was no subject of which any poet ever writ but he would produce it much better done in Shake speare; and however others are anow generally preferred before him, yet the age wherein he lived, which had con- temporaries with him, Fletcher and Jon son, never equalled them to him in their esteem; and in the last king s court, when Ber's reputation was at it's high est Sir John Sucking, and with him the gl eater part of the courtiers, set out Shakespeare ia rabove him.

Great Are Some Insects

MT. David Fairchild. who has hunted the world over for plants of economic value and introduced them Into this country, says the Christian Herold, has communicated some interesting facts about insects to our National Geo. graphical society, which has in turn given them to the public He says the champion aeronaut is the king grasshopper. which has the ability to jump 100 times its length and can sail for 1000 miles before the wind.
 The cricket is described as power- full singer. its shrill note sometimes be- ing heard a mile away. The males alone are musical. and the females lis- ten to their melodious wooings with ears which are on their forelegs. Being so musical 1t would hardly be expected that they would be such fighters among themselves as they are, on can nibals, eating each other when there is not enough food at hand.
 The ants are described as communists because the individual interest is merged in the community. Theirs is a female rights colony. The workers are females the soldiers are females, the nurses are females and there is one queen mother for them all, who lays all the eggs for the colony. The males are but mates for the young queen.

SHAKESPEARE
 WROTE HIS PLAY
Continued From Page Twenty-nine.

'Fasti'' In elaborating the pictures which Shakespeare enlarged from those sketches. he dipped his brush freely in other parts of the poems of Ovid already mentioned and used that poets descrip- tions of characters and scenes, his simies, his details hi sapt expressions all are used in the great productions of Shakespeare, which are, nevertheless, Shakespeares characteristioally from an artistic viewpoint, though Ovidian, and specially Shakespeares from an ethical standpoint.
 Enough has been written, perhaps, to make 1t clear that Bacon's learning was not needed by Shakespeare in writing his plays; and that the grammar school at Stratford had supplied the classical knowledge which was used by the great est dramstist in the worlds history.
 One other point in Shakespeares Ia vor and this contribution ends. John Dryden, himself great poet and dram atst, was born 15 years. only, after Shakespeare died. He lived in London, and probably knew many of the great poets contemporaries, some, perhaps,

It is story first of friendship and then of love It is as unmistakable and certain as the touch of one we love.
 Our MT. Wrenn'' is deliciously whim- sical-delightful naive and tremendous ly interesting

 1 AIr. Wrenn set off for his home in high state of exhilaration which, he no- tleed, exactly resembled driving an ae- 1 roplahe, and went brskly up the steps of the Zapps genteel but unexciting residence He was much nearer to
 heaven than West Sixteenth street ap- pears to be to the outsider. For he vas an explorer of the Arctic, a trusted
 man or the job. and associate of witty Bohemians. He was an army lieuten- ant who had. with his friend the hawk faced Pinkerton man, stood off bandits in an attack on a train. He opened and closed the door gaily. He was He was an apologetic little MT. Wrenn. His landlady stood on the bot tom of the step of the hall stairs in Il bunchy mother hubbard groaning:
 Mist Wrenn, if you got to come in so late, l wish you wouldn't make just all the noice you can. An don't see why An should have to be kept awake all night. An suppose it's the will of the Btord that whenever An go out to see Mrs. Muzzy and just dring a drop of coffee, An must get insomnia, but An don't see why anybody tries to be a gennulman should have to go and bang the dor and just rack nah nerves"
 He slunk upstairs behind Mrs. Zapp's numbering gloom.
 There's something l want to tell you, Mrs Zapp-something that's happened to me. That's why I was out cele- brating last evening and got in so late" Mr. Wrenn was diffidently sitting in the basement.
 Yes" dryly. "Ah noticed you was out late, Mist Wrenn."
 You see. Mrs. Zapp, T--uh-my fath- CT left me some land and it's been sold for some one thousand plunks.''
 "Ahm awful glad. Mist Wrenn." she said, funerally. Maybe you'd like to
 take that hall room beside yours now. The. two room's make a nice apart mcnt."
 I'm awfully sorry, Mrs. Zapp but I'm afraid I can't take it.. Fact Is. may go travelling for awhile" ''Co'se you'll keep your room if you do. Mist Wrenn?"
 "Why, I'm afraid I'll have to give 1t up, but Oh may not be going for a long, long while yet: and of course back here when I come back to New York. I won't be gone for more than, oh, probably not more than a year, anyway. and"
 And An thought you said you was going to be erm'nenti' Mrs. Zapp be- gan, quietly predatory to working her self into mysteries And here Ahve gene and had your room lived up just for you, and new paper put in, and you've always been talking such lot about how you've wanted your furni- ture arranged. and Ah've gone and made all nah plans"

cnnSERT cnIno

DIl0E1bI JtJlJD
 By Zane Grey Harper Brothers, pub. fishers, New York.
 No more thrilling romance of the bor- derland has ever been written than Zane Grey's delightful novel, Desert Gold"
 The Arizona Mexico frontier is the scene of the story with all of it's wild glamour and stirring reality, and the author has touched upon the subject with the most refreshing individuality and de- licious romance imaginable.
 The book opens with a .prologue" in which two men find themselves stranded in the western desert.
 The younger finds the older almost nigh to deaths door and when they begin to exchange condolences and get closer to each other, they each find that the other has the same heartache and the same broken life back of him, in each case the conditions sending them to the west to forget and begin life over
 When the story proper opens we find Dick, the younger man, who has been introduced in the prologue" starting out on his career in d wold and thrilling sort of manner.
 He is a daredevil and finds his cour- age not unavailing in a big crisis at the premier of the story He falls in with some people From his own section of the country and is shell tered and cared for by them and meets very lovely and attractive girl when he falls very much in love with. Many escapades daring and wonderful are recorded but the finale resolved the many mysteries that have existed throughout the book satisfactorily and Dick the hero, and Nell, the girl of his heart, are at last united and the story leaves most delightful remembrance in the mind of the reader-a remembrance 1 of a beautiful, sweet unalloyed love-a l love that is true and tender and genuine 1 in it's reality.

others have been ignorant of, for the most part, but type which others have been backward about playing up in their stories in a manner that robs them of all their romantic glamour.
 Essentially MT. Johnson is a realist He despises make believe. He is more or less of a reformer He is honest in his convictions and as fearless as he is honest
 Possessing a charming personality, he has assembled about him in New York as fascinating group of friends and acquantances as any man in Gotham. His social functions are veritable bits of real-for-sure Boheme-not the crass, im- itation sort, but the true Boheme in which lies real romance, zest, life and enter tainment.

"RETTER BABIES AND THEIR CARE D., Ao,o CtaaSa Richard sOD Frederick

"RETTER BABIES AND THEIR CARE By Anne Steese Richardson. Frederick
 A. Stokes & Co.,, publishers. New
 York.
 Whether baby shall become a pet ter baby" depends entirely upon it's mother. In this book Mrs. Richardson. who is widely known through her de- partments in the Woman's Home Com parion gives the simple instructions and advice which have enabled many n others to transform "delicate' babies into children scoring 90 to 100 per cent under the rigid examinations of phy- sicians.
 Any physician of repute will testi1y that it Is senseless to care for the baby s health by series of inflexible rules ap- piled alike to all cases. Babies are indl- yiduals, and what Is required in the mother is an understanding or general principles, coupled with their intelligent application according to requirements
 Unlike many books on the care of chil- dren, this does not lay down any hard and fast system. It is a series of simple talks from one mother to another. It gives all the facts bearing on the sub feet. and shows how they can be used with reason.
 Beginning with Preparation for Moth erhood," Mrs. Richardson tells in a clear and intimate way how to solve the many problems of the baby's health, diet, sleep, clothing, development, etc. It is real textbook to train the mother for her duties.

 Miss Mills Young is extraordinarily successful in presenting theA life and atmosphere of South Africa. vThe Pur- pie Mists' is a capital example of her work-sane, vigorous and masterful.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE BIBLE
 ON CINIIIZ TION',


 By Ernest Won Dobschitz, D.D. Illus trated Charles Scribner's Sons, pub :. Fishers. New York.
 "The Influence of the Bible On Civ ilization," by Ernest Von Dobschitz, is ab bsolutely unique.
 It traces the history of the Bible through the centuries and notes the in-i f1uences which it eXsrted upon civiliza- ton. It is interesting to find that during the first three centuries every Christian who could afford to tried to own at least a copy of some single book in the New Testament, and that all members of the church were urged to make themselves as familiar with the Bible as possible. This is in strik- ing contrast to the latter period when tho reading of the Bible by laymen was prohibited. An unusually inter- esting chapter is "The Bible Trains Printers and Translators,' which tells the story of the first printed Bibles The book is fascinating and is full oi information with which every Bible reader and every teacher of the Bible should be familiar.

WAR AND WAIST

By David Starr Jordan. Doubleday, Page
 & Co.,, Publishers, Garden City, N Y.
 In David Starr Jordan's book. entitled War and Waste,'' we are instructed to a very interesting discussion of the finan- cial, moral and biolyogical wastes that are caused by war. In it Dr. Jordan, shows how the armament of modern nations is stimulated by the manufacturers of armor plate and of the powder.
 The author takes up various aspects of war and peace. including the so-called war scares. and exposes the full results of war and waste caused by the main- tenance of military establishments. Bio logically, he shows that war has pro- duced the waste of life in human stock because the best men of every genera tion are sent to the front and killed,
 leaving behind the inferior men to breed the succeeding generations.
