Characters of Macbeth"

The names of some of the leading
characters in the play of Macbeth"
were borne by real persons who fig
ured in Scotch history, but the charac-
terS themselves and the events of the
play are imaginary. Macbeth was a
Scottish king and Macduff was Scot
fish nObleman of the middle ages.
History states that Macbeth slew Dun
can in 1889 because he had usurped
the throne to which Macbeth had the
better claim. Bur Ss>-sircumstances
Of the Staying were entirely different
from those described by Shakespeare
with large poetic license. Banquo has
Scotch sound but no person of that
name figures in Scotch history and
Shakespeare seems to have created
him mainly in order to name a ghost.
In the play he is killed by order Of
Macbeth and in one Of the most pow
erful scenes Of the play his ghost APP
pears at banquet, visible only to
Macbeth and terrifying him while un-
seen by the other banqueters.

Shrine of Health-Seekers.

The age of miracles is over, but the
little French town of LOurdes is not
aware of the fact. This is today the
leading shrine Of Europe, and hun
dreds of thousands Of pilgrims annual
iy visit it, many Of them in search of
cure for incurable ills. There have
been many surprising instances Of
healing performed by the waters Of
LOurdes, and scores Of physicians
come every year to watch and investi-
gate the cures. Everything is done
with a scientific thorOughness that Is
characteristic of the French. whose
passion for clear thinking Is such that
they will investigate even what some
of them consider supernatural phe-
nomena with the microscope. Invalids
coming to Lourdes are registered at
bureau, and examined by eminent
physicians before and after they have
visited the shrine.

cHINA'S "BATTLE-Ax" COINS
Small Models Of Various Utensils
Used as Medium Of Exchange in
2255 3. C.

Haskell Oriental museum at Univer-
sity of Chicago has recently been pre-
sented with a remarkable collection OF
coins by Jacob Spelcher of Shanghai
China. Chinese coins, medals and am
ulets to the number of S44, arranged
in historical sequence, are supplement-
ed by coins of AMMAN and Korea, with
q few from the old regime of Japan.
Altogether, LOGS specimens are In
Guided. The donor was engaged In
their collection some twelve years In
China. After being on exhibition for
three or four years at the Boston Mu-
scum Of Fine Arts, they are now per-
manently located in Chicago.
Our adjective "pecuniary" still bears
witness to the cattle which served
early Rome as measures of value. In
China likewise, but far earlier, actual
commodities had constituted the first
medium of exchange. The Chinese.
however, seem to have preferred metal
objects, especially battle axes and
knives. AS government credit became

utensils. The exhibit begins, then,
with "battle-ax" coins, some of which
date back additionally to the period
2255-1122 B. G. Even with the adop-
ton of later date this would proba-
bly, give China first place in the study
of numismatics.
"Knife" coins form an interesting

pattern for the round cash with square

peculiar shapes are bridge" and the
pebblelike pellets called by the Chi

these oldest, most brittle copper speci-
mems are mounted in handsome trays

Striped Cottons Adopted by
Women Who Set Fashions
in America.
BOON TO HOME DRESSMAKER
With inexpensive Materials Made
Available Any Woman Can Have
Varied Wardrobe for Sum-
mer Months.

New York.-It has been decades
times when every woman abused the
material by trimming 1t with satin and
lace. and turning Ii into a frOck of
ceremony. 1t was considered approrri-
ate for the afternoon hours. 1t ranked
with satin, voile. handkerchief linen.
Today Bingham has been revived by
the smart women who launch the
spring styles at Palm Beach. Young
women found in II an agreeable
change from the ubiquitous jersey
cloth and serge. Someone In Paris
had brought striped muslinS into high
fashion, and those in this country
who remembered the gayety of ging-
hams In the old days, and realized
that here, In this country, were to be
found all sorts of alluring cottons,
took 1t into their clever heads to re-
inState them.
Palm Beach really set the seal OF
approval on the sO-called humble
fabric and it Is probable that we shall
see much of 1t as the season advances.
Why not? In every way glngham
carries out the modern demand in
clothes. It's colOring is happily chosen,
its stripes and checks, it's plaid de-
signs are accepted in all other fabrics.
The lessening of the output Of novelty
fabrics, the ability of the mills to turn
out admirable cotton weaves, the mark
that fashion has put upon simple mate
rails as evidences Of good taste In q
time of national stress, the comfort OF
cotton in hot weather. are fashion
facts that build strong foundation
for Bingham.
The Incoming of Cottons.
On this foundation also rests the
claim that other fabrics of the common
garden variety are making for service
this summer. The Southern mills have
always produced quantities of mex
pensive materials in alluring colors,
materials that are woven to stand the
heat and sun and which have served
the Southern women for generations.
These have their showing in the towns
Of other districts, but they are not as
commonly accepted or as well-known
as they should be.
These fabrics are not always treated
IN an inexpensive way by those VINO
buy their clothes at expensive places.

Also, the summer is the season OF

Copying French Designs.
The best way to 60 at the making

lack the interest Of previous years,

France and have already used a few
Of their tactics on the Germans.
Basketball Is also expected to, in!
crease in popularity for there Is
no other winter game that will ever
take its place. The cantonments and
training camps will all have represta-

included on all the college schedules,

There will certainly be no lack of
