She might have been twenty- five; her face had lost the sweet im- maturity of vouth and had been re- placed by that gentle and half mater- nal look that is to be seen sometimes on the faces of good women. “I am Miss King,” she =aid, smiling happily at Colonel Saunders. “I sup- pose William has told you that—that we are to be marricd here, now that his term has ended.” A elight blush muttered the 1 l Maps of any des MAPS, BLUE PRINTS Special atteaties County and Btate riptivn compi, d on short notice, gvan to compiliug city, display and advertising maps. maps Xept ou hand.

TRANSLATION A HARD MATTER Few Make Success of Work, but There Are One or Two Instances Quite Recently Brought to Light. Reading Shakespeare in a foreign lang@age is generally a weird experi- ence not without its amusing side. It matters little what language one se- lects, for Shakespeare has been trans- lated into all of them, and the transla- ionsare in all grades of badness, Arthur _Biennington writes in the North Ameri- can Review. Similarly a Fgenchman reading Corneille in English is moved to laughter or tears, and an Italian reading Dante in English scarcely re- | cognizes the divine poet. Good translations are rare. For a taithful rendering of mere words much thought, backed by intimate knowl- edge of the subtle shades of moanlng | |of the words of both languages is a primary requisite. But more than i ‘wordn are to be translated; thoughts, spirit, atmosphere, art, are more im- | portant than words. And it is in this that most translators are an exem- plification of the old Italian epigram, traduttore, traditore. This is not to say that every trans. | lator is a traitor. Among the cases in the desert are one or two of the more recent translations of Shake- speare. Coniinental Europe—Germany excepted—is really only just beginning | to know Shakespeare as we know him. | Italy is ringing with praises of Diego ! Angeli's version, of which four vol-| umes—“The Tempest,” “Julius Cae- sar,” “Hamlet” and *“Macbeth"-—have already appeared. France was thrilled two years ago by Maeterlinck's trans. lation of “Macbeth” and applauded De ! Gramont's “Julius Caesar” in 1906, Entomologist's Pet. An unusual “pet” state house. The “pet” is a praying mantis, an insect about one and one- half inches long, with a long, neck, blunt head and heavy body. On its front feet are claws, shaped much like those of a crawfish or lobster. The insect has become so tamed that § it eats flies and ants from the fingers of Mr. Baldwin's assistants, while sitting on their hands in the pesition - | froin which it derives its name—pray- ing. The ingect sits almost upright and, folding its long front claws up in communicant attitude, several minutes. The insect in gen- cral appearance resembles the outline of a horse. It is not poisonous and devours flies and other insects. Many | specimens have been found recently in the northern part of Indianapolis. It has many of the habits of a grass- hopper.

One recalls an incident in a Midland chapel some years ago. The preacher was annoyed by the sound of whispering coming from the semi-darkness under one of the galler- | fes. At last he paused in his sermon and declared: “It the young couple making love under the gallery do not come to me in the vestry before service next Sun- day morning I will name them to the church.” It was a chance shot, but next Sun. day he found twenty couples awaiting him in the vestry'—London Chronicle. - < Lakela:d Steam Laundry Phone 130.
