"•"' A T STRATFORD ON AVON.
w . Tells of Hls Visit to the
1 ' Home of Shakespeare.
>ly previous visit was a hurried one. I
.A but a ('limjfse and then went on my
L. r Now, for nearly a week I was a
resident of Stratford on Avon. How shall
i describe the perfectly ideal beauty cf the
now home in which I found myself? It is
line house, surrounded by delightful
mounds which Bkirt the banks of th«
Avon for a considerable distance end come
clo=e up to the inclosure of the Church of
the Holy Trinity, beneath the floor of
which lie the mortal remains of Shake
speare. The Avon is one of those narrow
English rivers in which half a dozen boats
might lie side by side, but hardly wide
enough for a race between two rowing
abreast of each other. Just hero the
Avon is comparatively broad and quiet,
there being a dam a littlo lower down tlto
stream. The waters were a perfect mir
ror, as I saw them on one of the still days
ye had at Stratford. I do not remember
over before seeing cows walking with their
logs in the air, as I saw them reflected in
the stream.
Along the banks the young people wore
straying. I wondered if the youthful
swains quoted Shakespeare to their lady
loves. Could they help recalling Romeo
and Juliet? It is quite impossible to think
of any human being growing up in this
place which claims Shakespeare as its
child, about the streets of which lie ran as
n boy, on the waters of which he must
have floated, without having his image
ever present. Is it so? There are some
boys from 8 to 10 or 12 years old, fish
ing in the Avon, close by the grounds of
“Avonbank,” the place at which we are
staying. I call to the little group: “1
pay, boys, who was this man SliakeBpearo
people talk so much about?” Roys turn
around and look up with a plentiful lack
of intelligence in their countenances.
“Don’t you know who he was nor what
he was?” Boys look at each other, but
confess ignorance. Let us try the uni
versal stimulant of human faculties.
“Here are some pennies for the boy that
will tell me what Mr. Shakespeare was.”
The biggest boy finds bis tongue at. last.
“He was a writer—ho wrote plays.”
That was ns much us I could get out of
the youngling.
I remember meeting some boys tinder
the monument upon Bunker Hill, and
testing their knowledge as I had that of
the Stratford boys. ‘‘What is this great
stone pillar here for?” I asked. “Battle
fought here—great battle." “Who
fought?” “Americans and British." (I
never hear the expression Britishers.)
“Who was the general on the American
side?” “Don’t know—Gen. Washington
or somebody." What is an old battle,
though it may have settled the destinies of
n nation, to a game of baseball between
the Boston and Chicago nines which is to
come off to-morrow, or to a game of mar
bles which Tom and Dick are just going
to play together under the shadow of the
great obelisk which commemorates the
conflict?—Dr. Holmes in The Atlantic.
COURAGE.
The “Engagement Dinner.”
A feature of social fife that has been in
existence in Philadelphia for a long time
and that is also practiced somewhat in
fashionable circles elsewhere, is the “en
gagement dinner,” Nothin.: can go on or
off in Philadelphia without uiiinuer. Adin-
ner is given when a girl makes her debut,
she is given a dinner on the eve of her
marriage, the. bridegroom gives a farewell
bachelor dinner, they arc given a din
on returning from their trip and they are
expected to give a dinner iu return These
dinners to announce enganenu Tits are usu
ally, though not always, rri■ vn 1 y a rela
tive of the girl. Gen rally the purpose is
slyly known, but son •.'•times the t. nests, or
some of them, at P:: -.t, are surprised. The
father or nearest nude relative of the lady
usually makes the announce*".. nt at the
close of the din tier » pivtty practice
sometimes indulged in for each guest to
pick up a flower and throw it at the
fiancee, who is t h i. met with u rose
shower from all sides of the tr-blc. On
this occasion also the hriVw-room elset
often kisses his mother-in-1 .v elect and
the father of the 1 tnedict in turn kisses
the fiancee.—Philadelphia Tins ■;
It l?not he who scales tho height
And \vts9 the laurel wreath of Time,
Nor he who breasts the storm at night,
■ Whose courage is the most sublime.
Tin he who walks the dreaded aisle
Without a thought of recompense.
And brightens with hls cheery smiJe
The dark room of the pestilence.
—T. C. Iturbaugh In Demorest's Monthly.
DEMAND FOR ROLLER SKATES.
Tile Trade as Deed us a lUuiumy—Price
of Uoxwuod»Disastcr.
“Is there any market for roller skates?"
was asked of Mr. Jerry Raymond, who,
with hls brother, wus the pioneer of tho
business.
“None to speak of,” was the reply; “the
bottom has fallen clean out of it.”
“Has the demand entirely ceased?"
“Practically, yes. Wo continue to send
a few small orders to Canada, the west,
and to Australia; with these exceptions
the trade is a3 dead as an Egyptian
mummy. ’ ’
Has there been much change in the
price of skates?”
“You’ll laugh, probably, when 1 tell
yon that the skate wo sold two or three
yem a ago for !?•> and ;J0 n pair can now be
pnrclinsed for gl.20 and $1.50, and yet at
these latter figures we can make a fair
profit. Of course, our material doesn’t
cost as much us it did then, and in rela
tion to this matter I want to tell you
something that is quite interesting, and
which very few people outside the busi
ness know anything about. When we
began the manufacture of skates box
wood, out of which the wheels were made,
was wortli 83b a ton. In making the
rollers we experimented with almost
everything that suggested itself, but could
discover nothing that served the purpose
so well as the material mentioned. Of
course an enormous demand for it imme
diately sprang tip, and the price also took
a jump. The dealers seemed conscious of
the fact that we could not get along with
out it. mul iii less than no time they had
sent the price from 830 to 8140 a ton, and
this was the figure they held it at until
the demand wus slackened. But this
wasn’t all. The wood companies who use
t boxwood ulmost exclusively In their busi
ness were brought up with a sudden turn
when they found the article had increased
so enormously in price. They couldn’t
afford to purchase it at such a value, and
had to substitute an inferior wood until
it became cheaper. We completely drained
the market, and at one time it looked as
if we would be compelled to use some kind
of a substitute, but such an emergency
never arose, from the fact that just about
tills time the roller skating business be
came thoroughly paralyzed.”
“Are many of the jobbers stocked up
with skates?”
"Yes, a great many of them. 1 know
of a number of firms who have from 1,000
to 0,000 pairs, with no immediate prospect
of ever getting rid of them."
“On the whole, there was not a great
deal of money made on the rinks, was
there?”
“It always pains me to think of that
matter. Look here, at these photographs.
There is one that shows the interior of
my Brooklyn rink, which was the finest
in the world. It cost just §83,000 to pro
vide the subject for that little picture,
All of those beautiful decorations were
swept away as suddenly as if they had
been picked up by a cyclone and ground
into splinters. I am not alone in this dis-
