nil tho miners nnd their families, the
Dronrletors nnd ncents and a number
of guests from London. It required
considerable courage for some of tho
strangers to go down tho shaft, but
they all ventured. Dancing was from

"It was n hard matter to decide just

Spelling Shakespeare's Name.
K. II. Sotliern in tin article In a mag
azine on the Uncon-Shnkesponro con
troversy gives the Ihiconlnns a sound
drubbing. Because Shakespeare spell
ed hk nnine In various ways the Ba
conians have been pleased to refer to
lilm as n "barbarian." Here Is what
Mr. Sotliern says on the subject of tho
spelling of tho name:
"This Is ono assertion that is not de
nied. It is uIbo true that Sir Walter
Italolgh, admittedly one of tho most
cultured men of tho time, spelled his
name 'Kauloy,' 'Haulelgh,' 'Italeghe'
and 'Ralegh.' Sir Philip Sidney fre
quently signed himself 'Sydney,' while
Spenser often wroto 'Spencer.' Tako
any of Shnkespcare's contemporaries,
and Vfc find the same thing. Mnrlowe's
name occurs in ten different spellings,
Throckmorton's In sixteen, Gnscolgne's
In nineteen, Percy's in tweuty-soven,
while Ben Jonson wrote his in nlmost
every Imaginable form "
A Good Retort.
A Spaniard was traveling from San
Sebastian to Biarritz in u first cluss
compartment with an Americnu.
"You Spaniards are n great nation,"
the American said. "But I can't un
derstand how n nation that produced
Velasquez and Valdes can stomach
the savage cruelty of the bullfight."
The Spaniard rolled his black eyes
at this, inhaled a great cloud of ciga
rette smoke and said:
"You have In America n number of
societies for ,the prevention of cruelty
to children, I believe?"
"Yes."
"And they do good work?"
"Oh, splendid work!"
Now the Spaniard showed his whlto
teeth in a smile.
"Well, senor, such societies would
be useless In my country," he ,snld.
"Tho man who would lift his hand
against a little child hns not been, born
In Spain." Los Angeles Times.
Mental Twilight.
Mental health passes Into mental dis
ease most commonly in n gradual way,
as light passes Into darkness. There
Is a mental twilight, a borderland in
which It Is Impossible to say whether
tho patient Is mentally 111 or not. It Is
always well for a man who undergoes
such chnnges mentally to consult his
doctor, and It is always well for tho
doctor not to make too light of such a
change because treatment Is usually
far more effectual In that borderland
stage than It Is when the symptoms
havo been fully developed. The best
test of mental health Is when a man
feels a conscious sense of organic well
being, although ninny persons go
through life with more or less of a
sense of ill being nil tho time and are
not on thut account to bo regarded as
Insane.
Acoma'8 Queer Graveyard.
What is perhaps the most remarka
ble graveyard in the United States ad
joins tho old Spanish church In the an
cient Indian pueblo of Acomn, N.
M., nnd took moro than forty years
to construct. The vlllnge Is situated
high in the nlr upon a huge, lint top
ped rock, many ncres In extent nnd en
tirely bare of soil. In order to create
the graveyard It was necessnry to car
ry up the earth from tho plain 300 feet
below, a blankctful at a time, on tho
backs of Indians who had to climb
with their heavy loads up a precipitous
trail cut In tho fuco of tho cliff. The
graveyard thus laboriously construct
ed Is held In place on three sides by
high retaining walls of stone. Wide
