Mrs. V.

A great many more owe their health to Peruna. A multitude of women throughout Canada are using Peruna as a preventa tive and a r ii f from catarrhal coughs and colds. We have in our files a great number of letters from grateful women who have been ben lited by Peruna, with permission to u these letters in public print.

Supposed Source of the Plot of Shake speare’s “Hamlet.” While Shakespeare no doubt wrote the tragedy of “Hamlet,” as it is found today, he borrowed many of his data from an earlier writer, Saxo Grammaticus, a Danish his torian who died about 1204. His writings were in Latin, and in Shakespeare’s time they had not been tiunslatcd into any modern language. The story is to be found in Belleforest’s collection of nov els, begun in 15G4, and an English translation of it was published en titled ‘The Hystorie of Hamblet Prince of Denmarke.” Horvendilc in the novel is the name of Ham let’s father, Fengon that of his un cle and Geruth that of his mother. Fengon traitorously slays Uorven- dile and marrieS his brother’s wife. In the second chapter Hamh ’ coun terfeits the madman to escape the tyranny of his uncle. Through the machinations of his uncle jfcie i tempted by a woman, the Tinci thinking thereby to undermine the prince and find out whether his madness is counterfeited or not. In the third chapter Fengon, the uncle, tries a second time to en trap Hamlet in politic madness and causes one of his coum dors to be secretly hidden in the queen’s chamber behind the curtains to hear what speeches pass between Hamlet and the queen. Hamlet kills him and thus escapes danger. In the fourth chapter Hamlet is sent to England by Fengon, with secret letters to have him put to death. While his companions sleep Hamlet counterfeits the letters “willing the king of England to put the two messengers to death.” Here ends till* resemblance between the Mr. Watson Is Pleased. Greenville. Dec. It*.—Commissioner E. J.. Watson of the State department of Immigration, was In this city to day and gave an .interview in regard to the decision of "the United States department concerning immigration in this State. Mr Watson was much pleased with the decision and stated that the work of securing desirable immigrants would now go on. He had a conference today with local mill men in regard to the importation of immigrants and it is probable that steps will be taken shortly for the landing of another cargo. RHEUMATIS Columbia, Dec. 19.—A special from Anderson to the McCaw News Agen cy says that H. M. Graham, a leading farmer, was jailed there yesterday on a charge of making counterfeit 50- cent pieces. Some time ago he turn ed over to the authorities a counter felting outfit, saying it belonged to a neighbor and offered to assist in running this neighbor down: but the officers, after a careful investigation, have concluded that Graham himself is the guilty man. “Poltnbed Rice.” The rice that comes on the American table looks mushy: the grains seem nil mashed together instead of being dis tinct and large. The trouble (some- nes due to the cooking) Is usually explained by the statement that our rice is of inferior quality, though there is no better rice In the world than our Louisiana and Texas article; the grains ; re large, firm and nutty. The fact Is, c ir public won’t buy any rice unless t ie grains shine and glisten. Conse- q lently the first thing the miller does is to put his rice crop through a course of polishing by which the covering of the kernel, and at the same time the most nutritive part. Is rubbed off. The result Is that he gets a beautiful, al- mo'.t sparkling grain, which sells well, but inasmuch as the covering has been rem >ved, the grains when cooked lose thei. Identity and become a mush. “Polished rices” Is a peculiarity of America.

This is the supposed source of the plot of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” A Pardonable Excuse. A Columbia university man who makes frequent use of foreign words and phrases in his talks ani his literary products was under fire for this practice. The feeling among his antagonists was that the English language is a good enough means of expression. “Well,” said the expert in word pictures, “to me a number of these foreign phrases have an interesting history which their use recalls. 1 plead guilty t" a sentiment for just this kind ol thing.
