First shsksspsar. Festival.

The vandal act of Parson Gastrell
in cutting down q mulberry tree be-
lieyed to have been planted in Shake
speare's garden by Shakespeafe's own
hand led directly to the first Of Shake
speare festivals. The mulberry tree,
felled by an 'act Of Gothic barbarity,"
as Boswell termed 1t, was bought by a
carpenter, who cut It up into Shake
speare relics" In the form of caskets
and tea caddies, snuff boxes and stan
dishes. One Of these mulberry tree
boxes, inclosing the freedom Of the
borough, was sent by the corporation
of Stratford on Avon to David Garrick
with the request that he should in turn
forward his own portrait to be "plac-
cd near that of his favorite author,
in perpetual remembrance of both"
Garrick was immensely fattered by
this homage from Shakespeare's town
and acknowledged the compliment by
undertaking the arrangement of q
grand jubilee in honor of the poet.
This, the first Stratford commemora-
ton, was held on three September
days in 1863. To prepare for It at
least 100 fine old trees were cut down
in order to enlarge the prospect

Tennis az an American Cana.

Tennis is as old as the hills, basically,
though 1t has undergone many changes
for the better. 1t was played by the
Greeks and Romans under the names
of "sphairisis" and "pila." As ''paume"
1t is mentioned In the Arthurian ro-
mances and In the earlier records of
the dark ages. In the fifteenth century
1t enjoyed great favor in France. and
in England from the sixteenth century
to the present time. AS 1t seems to be
more or less mixed up with about ev.
cry sort Of race. 1t may be called truly
American, especially as we have pour
ed 1t into our melting pot to boil and
simmer and have seasoned 1t to our
liking. But as an adopted pastime we
can hardly call 1t our national game,
as national seems to imply home grown
or native. Yet we have developed ten.
mis-, speeded 1t up. perfected 1t, Amer
icnnized 1t so successfully that the
game as we play 1t today typifies the
restlessness, energy and competition
of our national spirit.-Norman Harsell

A professor of English In a western
college was once criticising the follow
ing lines from Campbell's Eye Mari
ners of England"
The meteor flag OF England
Shall yet terrific burn,
TIL dangers troubled night depart
And the star of peace return.
'The star Of peace" he pointed out
could not return after night had de-
parted" for stars, as general rule,
do not shine during the day.
"If you were struck hard enough be-
tween the eyes you would see stars
any old time" suggested the witty
member of the class.
THAT is quite true" replied the pro
fessor, "but It would not be the star Of
Deace.'"

korea's Diamond Mountain,

Kongosan. known among foreigners
by the name Of Diamond mountain, Is
an extraordinary cluster of innumer-

In circumference, occuying an area Of
more than twenty-five square miles.

When Cata Wera Sacred.


Scientists consider that the cat was
introduced originally into Egypt from
the south and that the credit of do.
mesticating It belongs entirely to the
Inhabitants of that country. 1t Is for
tunate that the cat found Its way into
Europe at the time of the Roman su-
premacy, which, like other polytheistic
systems, was in religious matters at
least tolerant Had 1t been confined
to Egypt till the iconoclastic intrusion
Of the Moslems 1t might have been
extirpated as a pagan object Of wor-
ship. The Egyptians seem to have
kept their cats in vast Enclosures, and
1t is perhaps a trait of heredity which
causes them to remain so faithful to
a house in which they are domesti-
Gated. Whenever a house caught fire
the chief care of the neighbors was to
save the cats. The men and women
might be burned in the ruins, but the
cats were to be saved at all risks.
When cat died natural death every
inmate of the house shaved his eye
brows. and when a dog died they shay
ed all over.-Chambers' Journal,
