Uppermost in the thoughts of most

much 1t will cost-and will they be able

Polecats Become Food.

The Spirit Of economy caused by the
high prices in Paris is leading people
to eat animals only valued hitherto
for their skins, writes the London
Daily Telegraph correspondent.
1t is now possible to buy at some
shops near the central markets Joints
Of foxes and polecats, and by way Of
variety the flesh of squirrels and
badgers is offered. 1t seems that these
novelties are prepared for the table
with varied sauces.
The project of police is disturbed at
the idea Of people eating the flesh of
foxes and polecats, and he has found
it necessary to issue a circular, in
which he points out that they run
grave danger, since some Of the ami
mails may have been destroyed by poi
son. After this, it is not expected
that there will be. a big trade in the
new game.

other boy, sitting near him, saw a col

that matches in . Pedro's pocket had
been rubbed violently enough to set
them on fire.
Other pupils and the teacher jumped
to the rescue and PedrO's sweater was

small boy returned to his seat. A con-
siderable hole was burned through Pc
dr0's clothes and he was not hurt,

Hamleth was prince of Jutland; his
father, the king Of Jutland, had been
murdered by his own brother, Fengo,
who took the throne and queen Of the
dead man. Hamleth feigned madness
to save his own life. He stabbed one
of Fengo's courtiers, sent to spy upon
him, and for this purpose concealed
himself under truss of straw. He
reproached his mother with her
shameful second marriage to such ef-
feet that she promised to help him
in avenging his father by putting
Fengo to death-a promise which she
kept. These are the very incidents
Shakespeare has selected for his play,
sometimes emphasizing the points Of
the narrative, sometimes softening
them or changing them in harmony
with his own vivid conception of
dramatic requirements. Shakespeare's
Hamlet" was first played in 1900 or
1901, and first printed in 1903.

sleep are not disturbed by the noise

Directly to the rear of the dining
room is the kitchen, modelled along
the very latest ideas Of home building
In that it is small, compact but COM
pete IN all details. The large awk-
ward kitchen has no place in the mod
ern home. They only mean extra
work for the housewife because of
their size. A small pantry is built off
one corner Of the kitchen. A modern
bathroom completes the floor plan ar
rangement.
1t is obvious that an attractive home
like this will appeal to many families
who are planning on building home
OF their own, not only because Of its
picturesque appearance and charming
interior arrangement, but because of
It's reasonableness in cost. It is free
from any feeling Of crowding, and
wonderful place for children. What
most homeseekers need is the stimu-
lus to make their ambitions a reality,
and certainly home like this will do
much toward bringing this result
about.

REAL "PRINCE OF DENMARK
7amIet Not Altogether Creation Of
the Brain of the Greatest of
English Writers.

Hamlet, the hero Of Shakespeare's
most famous tragedy, is parsonage
Who appears in history, yet is half
NEUROLOGICAL, but has been trans
formed by the genius Of the English
poet into one of the most dominating
figures Of literature. 1t is allowed
that Shakespeares Hamlet was sug-
gested by the Hamlet, or Amleth, of
Saxo Grammaticus. The latter's His
tory of Denmark" had been published
In Paris in 1914. Francois de Belle
forest included the tale of Hamleth
in his "Tragic Histories" (157O), an
English translation of which appeared
in 1908. Shakespeare's drama was
written earlier than this last date and
must have derived it's plot either from
DE Belleforest's work or a translation
executed before the end of the Six
teenth century, unless the poet, who.
1t is KNOWN was a great reader of
histories. took the incident direct from
SaxO Grammaticus.

DlGGERS TURN UP TREASURE
Sewer Workers Find Collection of
Rings and Watches in a Bos-
ton Slime Pit.

Boston.-A sewer gang quit work at
noon the other day with a valuable
treasure trove. In the slime Of an
old pit near the Quincy house they
had found three gold rings, coins,
watches and other valuables.
Hotel employees suggested that the
hotel had a claim on the articles, as
the property probably Of guests Of BY
gone days. The police suspected that
they were part of the loot Of thieves.
But when the men showed coins dat
ing back to 1857, stamped with pine
tree on one side and Massachusetts"
on the other, they insisted that the
statute of limitations made the prop
erty theirs.
With the ancient coins they found
beer checks, which the foreman Of the
gang said he intended to keep with
a ''pine tree shilling," as a souvenir
Of the past. The foreman estimated
that the deposit Of mud in which the
valuables were found had not been dis
turbed in Is years.

Perfect Identification

The French have hit on new idea
for the making of fnger-prints. In
stead of rubbing the fnger-ends with
ink and making impressions on paper,
the -X-ray is used. The finger is first
busted with a fine powder of bismuth,
and then an X-ray picture is taken Of
it. The picture shows not only the
ridged convolutions Of the skin tex
ture, but also the terminal bones of

actly alike in any two human beings.
