 The death of H. B. Irving removes from the English stage an actor of varied if not pre-eminently great achievement. His versatility was perhaps his most notable virtue, and he had the defects of that virtue. His most distinguished Shakes pearian role was the truly memorable lago, which he played 10 the Othello of Lewis Waller. But it was in whimsical comedy and mystery thrills that he won popularity quite independent of his H. lustrious name. He must be accounted one of the many unsung martyrs of the war, the breakdown which mas now resulted fatally having been occasioned by the assumption of ardous government duties which he carried on by day while still appearing regularly at the Savoy theatre.
 Loudoners are not a little envious or Americans for the privilege which Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson continues to extend to them. Five years ago he made what all felt was premature, and many hoped would not really be a final, fare well appearance in London; the hope that he was as other stars have been in the matter of farewell performance was en- couraged by his extensive later seasons in America. <f3Ut the hope has been vain; stlll in the prime of his art, he has strictly adhered to his retirement, and now it is to America that he turns again to give series of lecture recitals in which his audience will have the supreme pleasure or hearing him speak some of those speeches as no other man of his genera ton, CT this, can speak them.

Swamp Lands in America
3 Thrift Magazine.

From the InTlIr MdSdZlne.
 There are 102 900 acres of uncultivated swamp and wet lands in the United States that can be made exceedingly productive.
 The area is larger than Illinois Iowa and Indiana combined or three-fourths of France. Information recently was col lected by the department of agriculture in regard to 20 drainage districts in east ern North Carolina. These districts cover an area of 25S. 425 acres, of which 4S 800 acres were cultivated prior to draina ge Since the lands have been drained g 600 acres have been cleared and placed un- der cultivation, making a total area of Sl, 200 acres now under the blow in these districts. Of the area placed under culti- vation since the lands were drained. l., ,000 acres were located in one district oe l6.OOo acres, where an active selling and development campaign has been conduct ed by the persons owning the land.
 There are more than 300 drainage dis tricts in one county in Iowa. which has spent more than ,0o0 on drainage inn provements. During the 20 years from ls9S to 1917 Michigan spent sis,s59.576 for drainage impl ovmnts. In North Car olina, South Carolina, Georgia Florida. Mississippi Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkan- sas and Missouri. State laws have been passed concerning land drainage. and over 100000 acres have been included in drainage districts, where the improve ments planned either have been construct ed or now are under way. The Little river drainage district in Missouri con taining 550.000 acres which is more than 20 per cent completed; the Cypress Greek district in Arkansas, containing 300.0oO acres, full 40 per cent completed; the Rogue Phalia strict I" Bolivar county Mississippi, containing 15o,00o acrs, which has been completed recently are some of the leading large-scale drainage pro- iects.

which. with the exception of lifeless Portia, are first -rate-is to set Shylock apart rot only as a dominant literary creation of the play, but as a Jew among Gentiles. The unassumed but unobstru- sive foreign accent of his speech is no more than a quiet secondary aid in this illusion; his every movement contributes to 1.-the use of eyes and hands, and the swift versatility of mood above all. There have been Shylocks who anticipated all the worst imagined cruelties of bolshev- ism in their Jews; others have swung clear over to the sentimental in the ex- ploitation of his Humanitarian appeal. The latter phase of interpretation Is the one from which Moscoyitch is the most re- mote: whatever there may be of humanl- tarian appeal in his reading of the fa- nous speech ('Hath not a Jew eyes?'D it is assuredly far from sentimental. Yet it is not wholly vindictive, either; the nre of an oppressed race truly burns in his words hut it is tempeed by touch or humor, almost of playfulness-an ele- ment in Jewish nature which Anglo-SaX- ons perhaps least understand It breaks in between the swift changes of emotion occasioned by Tubals alternate reports of Jessica's alleged spendthrift life in Genoa and of Antonios misfortunes pro viding as it were an amagam for these sharp mixed moments of bitterness anu rejoicing. It persists up to point in the court of justice scene and it's disappear ance is the signal for the breakdown or the defeated Jews composure.
 In appearance this Shylock is no carr cature, either. Of the kind so often seen At the beginning he is plain but no, conspicuously untidy figure; in the court scene, when his fortunes seem about 10 reach their climax of revenge, he IS even a digniied and imposing figure, his ciotn ing appropriately of richer quality, ms beard trimmed and his hair well oiied- all this giving added contrast to the com pleteness of his disaster. Add that ms delivery has none of the sententiousness into which so many actors fall in their efforts to give full value to Shakespeare lines but flows with natural rhytnfh

Try It Yourself

From Leslie's.
 Let one who is envious of another's success go into business for himself, or if he thinks the farmer is a profiteer let him take up a government homestead or start with his garden, and try farm ing for himself.
 Many worker who grumbies because or a business mans success, and de- nounces him as a grafter has sufficient savings to start a business of his own. 1t can be done. Why does he not do it?
 Simply because he will not risk his capital. He realizes that everyone who ventures into a business enterprise takes the risk it involves; not only the ordi- nary risk of business, but also the ex- traordinary risks of bad accounts, theft, fire or calamity of any kind.
 TO conduct a business requires ability, care. efficiency and honesty, which are the basis of credit. man who goes into business runs his Own chance of profit or loss. He must have nerve
 Thousands of successful merchants started with very little, and on a small investment built up their business, be- cause they had ability to do so.
 Carnegie was a telegraph operator. but saved enough from his meager salary to go into business for himself. Rockefeller was clerk in a grocery store before. with several of his young associates ne NtHtuTeu lHtO ITdue. SCnWdD was a water boy in an iron min. and worked his way up to the commanding position of cap tain of industry. Henry C. Prick was farmer boy, then clerk in dry goods house and is now among the heat fest income taxpayers in the country. All were poor boys-alert, eager, ambitious, honest and confident in their ability to win. Hence their success.
 Any one can make money, but it takes a wise man to keep it. So it might be said that any man can go into business, but it takes a man of industry, fitness and capacity to meet his competitors suc- cessfully.
 Let workers who think they are en- titled to a share of the profits of the em- Ployers bear in mind that they themselves can be employers if they choose to take the chances, and that when they propose that the employer share his profits with them. there is justification in the em- ployer's suggestion that they also share the losses.
 And further, let everyone who de- nounces the profits of the railroads or industrial corporations bear in mind that the securities of most of these are pur- chasabe in the open market. so that any one who desires to share in the profits, on the same basis as the heaviest owner, can buy any number of shares that his resources will permit.
