From Oxford we went by coach through ru ral England , and the country is very beautiful at this time of the year ; the crops aio good , groves and forests dot the landscape , and the coaching was delightful. England has many large estates of gentlemen , some of which contain two and four thousand acres. These arc kept much for hunting lodges and are farmed very little. This Is one reason why the fanning problem Is congested. It seems that a far better thing than to feed the bigoted desires of these English gentlemen would be to divide these lodges up Into small farms -md then let the poorer people cultivate these lands. England surely has plen ty of poor people ; they need work badly. Wo visited the ancient village of Kenllworth , which has been more not ed because of Scott's novel by the same name. In the time of Henry III the castle became a royal residence. Queen Elizabeth , during her rolgn , held many splendid entertainments In this castle , and she It was who granted It to Robert Dudley in 15G2. This noted castle , now In ruins , has had a varied history. Cromwell's sol diers destroyed much of it In their campaigns. From Koiillworth we coached into Warwick , another castle city. But tills is a very quiet , sleepy old place. The very atmosphere Is drowsy , like the prologue ot tlio Vision of Sir Launfal. The glory of Warwick is Its castle. H is the most magnify cent of ancient feudal mansions of Englisli nobility , now used as a resi dence. As we roam through these castles and palaces of a thousand years age wo see the life and footprints of dif ferent conditions than we see today , Conquest , show and idleness were the amusements of the royal people In those days , who cared little for theii subjects , whether they starved 01 froze to death. England is a beautiful country , but it Is crowded. The weather is very changeable , and it Is no place for the poor man , for wages are very low. Shakespeare's Birthplace. One of the great delights of oui coaching trip was our visit to Shot tery , the birthplace of Anne Hathaway the wife of Shakespeare , and we were shown this old relic of 400 years ago It Is a very plain , ordinary house , but in its beginning no doubt was looked upon as one of the fine mansions ol the community. But the city more noted is Stratford-On-Avon , for here April 23 , 1561 , the celebrated large minded William Shakespeare was born , one of the greatest men of all ages , and as a writer he 1ms never had an equal. I have always loved his charming language , which is often n fascination. We got permission tc visit the house In which Shakespeare was born , in Henley street. It Is n two-story wooden house of large spa cious rooms showing that 400 years ago it would easily be looked upon as one of the best residences in the com munity. Here for many years lived this genius of the English language. Many of Shakespeare's sayings bear the tint of divine inspiration , and much of his philosophy is worth our belie ! and practice. In Hamlet he says : "To thine own self be true And it must follow As the night the day Thou canst not then be False to any man. " What could be more true than this ? The house is now used for a museum , iu which are many interesting relics of the Shakespeare family. There is the old writing desk , gold signet ring , the original quarto editions of "The Merchant of Venice , " "A Midsummer Night's Dream , " of year 1600. There is an autograph signature in the museum recently found in the pub lic library of London by Professor Wallace of the Nebraska state univer sity , who is hero on a year's leave of absence. This one discovery has al ready given Professor Wallace a world name and he is offered important chairs In colleges in Europe to keep him here. It is not certain as yet whether he will accept. From Shakespeare's birthplace we crossed over to the Holy Trinity church and here we viewed the tomb of this immortal writer whose glory surmounts that of other men. Hero he sleeps , and by his side is buried his wife. Not knowing what evil men might pass by and disturb his peace ful rest , Shakespeare wrote this epi taph for his tomb : "Good friend for Jesus sake forbeare , To digg the dust enclosed heare. Blest be ye man yt spares thes stones And curst be he yt moves my bones. " This quaint saying is carved on a marble slab and placed over the tomb. The beautiful quiet , narrow little Avon river and all the surrounding country is quiet and charming , and how we longed to linger many weeks and drink in of the richness of the place. Strat ford is a town of 10,000 people , has paved streets and fine stores and buildings , although many of these are very old. Some hotels are named as "Tho Red Horse , " "The Black Swan , " " " " Fountain. " "The Farmhouse" and "Tho At the latter we had a delightful stay. Opposite this hotel is a magnificent marble fountain donated to the city by George W. Chllds of Philadelphia , Tourists Are Velvet. But had It not been for Shakespeare the people of Stratford would have had a hard time , for the tourists keep the business going. The stores arc full of pictures , relics , books and , In fact , everything that will sell , having the naino or portrait of Shakespeare , It is Just so , for "tho good men do lives after them , but the bad Is oft interred with their bones , " or ought to be anyway. And we are all hasten ing on to bo remembered or forgotten by what we ore and how wo live , Happy those who can lead others out from the cares , worries and troubles of life and dally duties to claim , by right of Jesus' blood the treasure. * of a heavenly city. . So like the weaver's shuttle wo are fast at work spinning our eternal robe , which , if It fits when finished has boon made by the pattern of the Man of Galileo. Hut we arc too busy with life's tem poral duties ; wo eat. sleep and pass our time for Business and worldly suc cess Instead of to attain the goal of high and holy living , which is God's plan for humanity. How little wo need , how little wo eat ( some excep tions ) ; yet time like a stream pours In upon us the current that changes youth Into old age and the rosy cheeks Into the wrinkled face , and like light ning's Hash those changes come. Shakespeaic is gone , but ho Is still here , real , Inspiring and profitable. And you are going down toward the setting of the sun and the veil will part , and hence on Its ( light your .spir its will wing their way. "Perhaps It Is bettor so. " Wo often weep and feel no better , yet we must weep at times , for this belongs to human nature. I see by the calendar that my time is passing ( illicitly , but will be pleased If Providence penults to turn my steps homeward to Norfolk as soon as my arduous duties are finished In Europe. 1 am trusting all America Is prosper ous and that the stars still wave for greater success. Charles Wayne Ray. In Ancient Scotland. Glasgow , Scotland , June 27. My heart was greatly moved by the world's missionary convention , and the Interest and Inspiration was won derful , especially because of the spirit of union and good feeling among the delegates. Hut from this peaceful ses sion and the quiet ot many days in Edinburgh I leaped forth on my con- tinned tour , now alone , but soon to meet my second party. Passing through Scotland westward the country is very foitilo and produc tive in homo parts but in other places It Is very hilly and rocky. The sheep and cattle raising is a large industry in England and Scot land , because , as &ome farmers told me , there Is less work about it than there Is In cultivating the land. 1 am now seeing Glasgow , which is on the west coast of Scotland , where as Edinburgh is on the east coast. Glasgow is the commercial metropolis of Scotland , and has 850,000 inhab itants , and the council finds it neces sary to employ 1 , " > ,000 men to carry o-i the city business at a cost of $20OUO- 000 yearly. The municipal building is a large marble structure costing $3,000,000 , but it would be a worthy monument In any city. It stands In St. George's square , and is surrounded by statues to tlio following noted people : Queen Victoria and f prince consort , Robert Burns , Lord ClydeV. . E. Gladstone , Thomas Campbell Sir John Moore ; James Watt , Thomas Graham , David Livingstone and Sir Walter Scott. The art gallery in the west end of the city contains many remarkable pictures and relics that every visitor to Glasgow is sure to see. Then op posite the gallery on a high hill is the great Glasgow university , founded in 1450 A. D. It has about 3,000 students every year and ranks as one of the highest in scholarship in the world. Hundreds of young men from America come hero to finish their education. England and Scotland are pending large sums of money on education , and young people are not allowed to work and stay out of school until they are 16 years of age. This is most com mendable , for the future of any suc cessful nation must depend on educat ed leaders for officers and rulers. Glasgow is favored in that it is di vided by the Clyde river , for this gives the city water communication with all the world. The big steamers are con stantly moving up and down the river. It was a delight to me to have a twen ty-live mile trip through the ship yards on the Clyde river. Here I saw hun dreds of big and little ships in the course of construction and thousands of men busy hammering the iron and steel. Perhaps it seems big to speak of ship yards twenty miles long on both sides of the Clyde river , but this time I am tolling the real truth , which may stagger the minds of those who have been in the habit of hearing just stories. Without this great industry of ship building I do not know what the laboring men of Glasgow would do. It is worthy to note here that the "Lusitanin , " the largest steamer of the Cunard line , was built at Glasgow. It is 785 feet long and draws 29 feet G Inches of water , and yet this huge monster of the sea passed down the Clyde river In one tide without a hitch. There are many beautiful parks and public buildings which I cannot take time to mention , except to say further that the city Is very prosperous now. The shops and stores are well filled with buyers and the street cars are doing a thriving business. Sundays Are Quiet. It Is commendable how those Scotch people close up their stores and shops on Sunday. Even the restaurants are closed , and hero too , as in Edinburgh , the street preachers Instruct the people ple in righteousness and they always have large crowds to hear them. The people seem eager to hear the gospel , and I must confess that they are ahead of America on churchgolng , and yet the people here tell me that their min isters arc not as good speakers as American ministers. While In Glasgow it was a great pleasure to me to ho feasted in the homo of William Fraser , a brother of Mrs. William Graham , wife of the popular - ular baker of Norfolk , who Is delighted with his homo in America. I present ed a letter from Mr. Graham to Mr. Fraser and I was received with open arms and feasted on' the best that Glasgow had. They considered It an honor to have an American guest and 1 took It as great honor to dine In a good old Scotch home. Still filled with the roving spirit I took the fast steamer , the "Isle of Ar- ran. " and loft the beaten path of tour ists and wont far out In the ocean. Captain Huchanan showed me a great honor by taking me up on the "bridge" of the ship , and I guess I felt like a king , although 1 don't know how a king feels. This \\'as n fine voyage , because of the splendid landscape along the river as we passed out into the ocean. Our steamer stopped at several cities out of the river , as at Dumbarton , a line town In which Is the famous Dumbarton castle , situat ed on a high rocky cliff overlooking the city and the bay. Other stopping places wore Port Glasgow , Groonok , Innollan , Kirn , until wo came at last to the charming city of Rothosay on the Isle of Bute. This Isle out In the ocean Is three miles wldo and fifteen miles long. The land Is all owned by John C. Stuart , the marquis of Bute , who routs It to the farmers , of whom there are one hundred. This Is a de lightfully quiet place and the city tow ering up the mountain side Is one of unsurpassed charms , and the Esplan ade , the main street skirting along the bay , Is ornamented with a park three or four miles In length. I came up to Rothosay more espe cially because 1 had a letter from Mr. William Graham , whom 1 have men tioned , tolslt his sisters , for here n was he was born and lived prclously to being allured to America. Well , I presented my letter and was received with open arms , and was entertained Tt the home of Dugald Gillies , a broth er-in-law of Mr. Graham. But In the evening the relatives and friends gath ered at the home and I was given a great banquet , and such Scotch songs as "Annie Laurie" and "Auld Lang Sync" weie sung and this feast lasted until the coining of the morning. This was not all. That day I was taken far across the Isle of Bute on the electric car to Ettrick Bay , which Is a sum mer excursion station. This was very interesting because we passed a grove In which were image stones which the Druids worshipped a long time ago , in fact , before Caesar came to the British Isle in 55 B. C. There is a famous castle In Rothe- say built In 1098 A. D. , long before America was discovered. Besides , I saw here an old Hour mill , established in 1480 , called the King's Mill , and it is still used. It is marvelous witli what skill the workmeil of these countries built their homos and palaces. Most of the build ings are of stone or hard brick. Is Offered a Church. These people that I visited are lead ers In the United Free Church of Scot land , and it happened that just now their minister is leaving , so they In formed me , an American Methodist minister , that they were going to give me a call to become their pastor at .C500 and a beautiful manse and villa for a home to use while pastor. How ever , I doubt If my Norfolk parish and friends would listen to me becoming a foreign Presbyterian minister. I shall always remember with pleasure this delightful voyage out to the Isle of Bute. I may add that the young people of these Scotch families arc soon to come to America to make cneir home and fortune. It Is amazing tne great number of people who arc leav ing Scotland for the United States and Canada. After Mils splendid excur sion I returned to Glasgow , where I am awaiting my party. Glasgow has a beautiful Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. \ . building. The people are so accom modating for example , I stopped one day to ask a policeman where the mu nicipal building was , and after he told me how to go , he said , "wait and I'll go with you , " so he left his "beat" and walked four blocks witli me , and oven showed me through the hall , but it did cause a little stir on the streets , as many thought I was being taken to Jail. Jail.In In sightseeing I have not forgotten my own country , but I see congress voted appropriation of one billion and fifty-five million dollars for expenses , which is the largest ever voted. And the pope of Rome Is again hav ing trouble , this time with Spain , which has granted the dissenting churches the right to carry and dis play the symbols of their faith in pub lic , which the pope thinks belongs to the Roman church alone. Such big otry should be buried so deep that not even Gabriel could resurrect It. 1 must close , but will first say , the Alexandra hotel , where I am housed , has a record for weddings. There has just been a marriage here , another to morrow and live In all this week. 1 hope I can get some pointers for the Norfolk girls and maybe I can find them a few Scotchmen to walk with them the even tenor of life. The lady of the house just now brought me a piece of the wedding cuke. I am off again. Charles Wayne Ray. FOR SUMMER NIGHT COMFORT. Second Story Sleeping Porch Solves the Problem. Collier's Weekly : How to sleep In comfort on warm summer nights Is n problem of city life that uncounted thousands of families never have been able to solve. The ordinary flat or apartment house holds the heat llko n patent tireless cooker , and the only hope of comparative comfort Is thereof roof or the fire escapes. Among those who are fortunate enough to live In houses , a surprisingly large number have solved the problem by convert ing their second story porches into bedrooms. Once you have built a wooden rampart , say thirty Inches high , around the bottom of the out door sleeping room for protection from the gaze of the milkman and the grocer's boy and have screen the upper part to keep out the mosquitoes and the files , the summer nights be come something lyric. You can un derstand then the situation explained by Edward Young In his "Night Thoughts , " when ho spoke of Tired Nature's sweet restorer , balmy sloop ! Ho , llko the world , his ready visit pays Where fortune smiles ; tlio wretched ho forsakes. It Is nearly as cool on the open porch as under the sky and anyone who has over been a camper knows what a dlffoieuco there Is between that and a room. Instead of trying to sleep with your head bosldo a rectan gular opening In the wall about two and n half feed wide and three feet high , your pillow now Is close to a window , which Is fully four feet high , and perhaps as wldo as the house. In stead of staring at black walls and a melancholy glimmer of light coming from the hallway , you llo now watchIng - Ing the stars and the waving treetops. The crickets squeak drowsily , and the sound of the wind In the loaves is as soothing to the man on the porch as to any camper. On the llrst night , of course , you may bo restless. The moonlight may bother you and crick ets seem to need oiling. Hut another night and you hear the crickets grate fully , and there Is something hystlc In the distant piano. For a few mln utes you llo stretched out In thankful lestfulness , the Ideal ending for a day of conscientious labor. The crickets begin to drone and blend tholr squoaki together , and the treetops \\avo more and nioro mystically until you fall asloop. Morning comes with a tre mendous chirping of sparrows and the sound of a rooster crowing somewhere. You lie a little while breathing deep ly the fresh morning scents and grateful that > ou ha\e a body and then you know that the d\y : \ has begun na it should. PAVELKA IS VICTOR.

" "Good milk and bread you can't finding anything better to eat on these roasting days , " Mrs. Richards explain ed , "you don't want to eat sugar and sweet things , because they give you heat so quickly. Alcohol gets into circulation in two or three minutes af ter you drink It , and sugar in about five minutes. Starch takes a half or three-quarters of an hour to get Into circulation , so after you eat starchy foods you have time enough to cool off before they get into the blood. "Cut down your eating about two- thirds. Yes , I really mean this eat about two-thirds less than you eat In cooler weather. What we eat for- any way , in large measure , Is to keep warm. When the temperature is at GO degrees , we need to eat enough to keep the temperature of our bodies at 98degrees. But when the outside temperature Is 90 degrees , need "at only enough to make up the remaining eight degrees. Eat just as little as you can. Fruit , that Is good fruit not decayed In the least Is splendid for the hot weather menu , and there Is a delightful variety of fruits In the market at present. "Don't eat meat. Or , If you feel that you can't get along without it , eat light meat , such as veal or chick en. Cheese , you will find , Is better than meat these hot days and just as satisfying. "Iced drinks are not harmful , If you take them In moderation. Bo sure not to drink too much Iced stuff at meals. And don't drink It too fast. "Put your hands In Ice water In stead of drinking it. You will find this much more refreshing than tak ing It Into the mouth. Keep as quiet as possible In hot weather and try this hand and wrist cooler. Yon will be astonished to find how comfortable you get through the sultriest hours. "Ill tell you some other dishes that I eat In these warm days. For the breakfast the bowl of bread and milk does nicely. Then , for lunch , say , two bananas , with a roll and butter and a little cheese. Since a banana Is rather tasteless , squeeze the jutco of a lemon over It. This makes an extremely refreshing dish. Bananas , by the way , are both cheap and highly nutritious. The food value of bananas Is like that of potatoes. For the third meal of the day the hot meal which almost everyone wants at least once In twenty-four hours try cooked vege tables. For Instance , I had sweet po tatoes and string beans yesterday. Two cooked vegetables with bread are enough for a good meal. "Follow this scheme of diet and you'll bo better off In health , comfort and packet book. " "FIGHTING A DRUTAL GAME. " Nothing In Common With the College Sport , a K. U. Professor Says. Lawrence , Kan , , July 1G. Dr. JIUIIOH Nalsmlth , professor of physical educa tion In the University of Kiuinna , and director of gymnastics , suld todi y that he saw nbsolut lnotl.lng to uphold In pugilism. He IPconcd prize figutlni ; to cock fighting and bull lighting , ami said that any comparison of such a sport to college athletics was made Ignorance. In vlow of the fact that Professor Maurice Pnrmloo of the de partment of sociology and economies recently pointed out the physical ben efits of pugilism , the statement of Doc tor Nalsmlth can only be taken in direct refutation of what the professor of sociology said. "Pugilism has nothing In common with football or any of the college sports , " declared Doctor Nalsinlth. "for In these any Injury to the play ers Is Incidental and not a necessary part of the sport. Pugilism , however , should bo classed with cock lighting , bear baiting and bull lighting , for the common aim is to so Injure the com batant that ho is unable ( o carry on the contest. "The aim of pugilism and the great desire of every pugilist Is to bo able to deal such a blow to an opponot that ho will be rendered unconscious. This often results In a concussion of tlio brain and Is by no moans a minor In jury. This Is shown by the statements of fighters , who assert that a man who hns once been knocked out Is never the same fighter again. "It is hard to see how a contest en tered into with this as an end can beef of any benefit to the Individual or the race. It might have been bene ficial In those ages when might , made right and the individual was supreme and each had to destroy the other or bo destroyed , but the spirit of today in our social and , to some extent , In our commercial life , is the 'square deal' for every man. " Doctor Naismith then pointed out that it was pretty hard to see how a man is to got any kind of a "square deal" if another .is willing to knock him unconscious In order to e > btaln the big end of a purse. Ho said that It was impossible to eliminate those evils so long as there is money at stake. "A comparison between such a sport and college athletics must surely be made in jest or in ignorance , " ho add ed , "for the whole aim of the students and the faculty of the university is to do away with just such evils from our college athletics. " ARMY WORMS LARM FARMERS. Doing Much Damage to Crops In Vi cinity of Water-town. Watcrtown , S. D. , July 1C. The ap- pearce of vast hordes of army worms In Denel county is causing by far more crop alarm than the dry weather. Practically every acre of timothy In the county is said to be ruined , and the post is beginning to work on the wheat fields. Sections of Hamlln and Clark counties also are reported at tacked by this crop destroyer. Farmers in Deuol county were at a loss to account for the loss of their timothy until one discovered the vast number of worms , and sent specimens to Professor Severln , entomologist of the state agricultural college at Brook- ings. Here they were recognized at once , and most vigorous measures were taken to protect the remaining Holds. Thousands of circulars have been Issued giving Instructions how to pro tect fields not yet ravaged by the pest. These circulars have been now placed In the hands of every farmer as far as possible , and the plan Is to have every farmer In each of several counties adjoining those affected thor oughly acquainted with the best way to light the worms. Professor Severln advises plowing two or three parallel furrows around the fields not yet destroyed , turning the dirt in the direction the advance of the worms is expected. In these furrows dig postholcs every fifteen foot , and six Inches deep. In Its for ward march the worm will not climb the vertical side of the furrow until it first moves laterally in search of an easier way. In the lateral move ment It will fall Into the holes , where It may be easily killed by crushing or by a dash of kerosene. The worms will destroy a field of wheat In a few hours and move to the next field In regular formation , a habit from which they derive their name. Hurt In Auto. Nebraska City , Npb. , July 15.
