"I suppose, ma'am, replied the judge, "it is the mute of the coo 000." !Jones and his wife had 'just arrived at the docks at Southampton. "'Excuse me, lay good man," he said to a dock hand, 1°'when does the next boat leave for (Australia?" "Why, in half an hour's time, sir," replied - the dock hand. "Oh, dear, oh, dear. Isn't there one before that?" HORSES IN 'SHAKE- SPEARE'S 'PLAYS Speaking !literally, horses by the hundred can' be found in the pages of Shakespeare's plays. More than that number were revealed in a recent sur- vey of sixteen representative works. 3n only one of ,the group—the "Com- edy of Errors"—were m'o such refer- ences discovered; while 'Henry IV" contained them most abundantly, with 'the sulblject 'in question o0ourring ap- proximately thirty -'five times. /Fur- thermore, in thevicinity of sixty :d'i•f- ferent characters made ,mention of the equine beasts. Niot only was the term horse itself ,employed extensively. Often they were not ordinary horses, but roans or geldings ,or colts, while Barbary horses—a specific (breed—were intro- duced 4n 1°9Hanldet" (Occasionally they were even .hobby'ho:rses in great pro- fusion! Frequently, parts rof 'a horse's ana- tomy were referred to, in'clud'ing the tail, crest, hoof,' or wither, as well as equipment associated with the animal, —for 'instance, reins, saddle, spur, whip, halter, :crupper, and tether. Then, too, their stalls were not 'over- looked, nor ,certain identifying char- acteristics such as their gait or neigh. Ail these expressions, and many others, meet the eye in a careful per- usal of the 'various dramas. It is satisfying to 'believe that Shakespeare may frame 'had a natural Dove for horses. 'A't any sate, he never really speaks of them 'harshly. On the other' hand, time and again it is noticeable that his ,characters are ac- tually dependent upon their .mounts. This, of coarse, is the 'case- with Rich- ard I'II, while 'Hotspur says, "That moan shall the my throne." Be that as' it may, the "myriad - minded bard of Avon" made effective use of 'horses, despite the fact that he never actually permitted them to' ven- ture capon 'the stage. ;Naturally, the famous dramatist used thehorses very often in the ways most common to the time,'—las post horses, far 'hunting, and in 'battle. They carried messages, 'they were ridden for pleasure, and they were helpful in military emergencies. Many times the references were :merely ro- mantic ones, as When !Prince 'Henry cries, '°9N'ow merrily 'to horse," But from a literary 'point of view, Shakespeare's horses play an import- ant part. (Although they 'go prancing, as it were, 'through 'both prose and poetry, it is as a figurative way 'of ex- pressing ideas that they attract most attention. 'Similes are 'by far the com- monest ,figures ,of •speech in which they are seen. Over and rover again, people and ,dbljects and actions are compared to horses. For example, Duke Senior says that Touchstone "uses his folly like a stalking-horse."

Metaphors, too, are ,found now and then, as are a few other figures of speech. Humor, also, is not lacking. Nate this dialogue from the "Mer- chant of IVen'ice"t' iGolblb'o: ,"Thou +has got more hair on, thy chin than Dobbin my Mill - horse has on his tail." , .Launcelot: "It would seen, then, that Dabbin's tail grows backward." Who can help :but smile when the Foot in "`!King Lear" queries, "May not an ass ,know 'when the cart draws the horse?", or when :Benedict ("Mauch Ado About 'Nothing") ex - cairns to [Beatrice,"I would my horse had 'the speed of your tongue," or when, in the "Winter's. Tale," Le- ontes, duping a heated argument with Camillo, says, 'Then say my wife's a hobbyhorse." This reference to hobbyhorse is in- teresting, further, because it is just of half a dozen times when that 'par- ticular "breed" appears. This may he accounted for by Webster's definition of a hobbyhorse, which reads as fol.- lows: ol=lows: "'A figure of a horse fastened atbout the waist of a performer in the rnorris dance, pantomime, etc," 'I't is 'known that :performances of this na- ture were Sao neon in 'Elizabethan clays, 'Consequently, Shakespeare was still talking •in the language of his contemporaries. When Shakespeare's horses were not in their stalbles or stalls '('for he does not neglect their 'bodi'ly comfort) they wore "trotting," "galloping," "'capering" "stumbling," "boun'din'g," or being "led" over Eagtland, Scot- land, Denmar,k, Italy, Sicily, and oth- er parts of the (Eastern hemisphere, bath imaginary and wcal. Kings and fools, courtiers and peasants — it makes no difference; the .horse is found of service .in some way to each and all of tlreni. Although references to 'horses may seem a 'trivial aspect of these comed- ies, 'tragedies, and histories of the ac- tor and playwright from Stratford, nevertheless, a list of them cannot help hat shed new light on the dram- as themselves, and develop a slightly different 'appreciation of thein. They stand out mutely 'but prominently as one more 'piece of evidence to 'testify to William S'hakespearc's versatile and astounding literary and dramatic •p0w'e rs. EDEN RESIGNS Long rumored and often denied rift between Prime Minister Chamberlain and Foreign Secretary Eden was folly exposed this week with Mr. Eden out, of the 'British ,cabinet. Ile resigned Sunday night rather than accept the present time as "appropriate" for start of Anglo -Italian conversations, 'Vis- count Cranborne, 'the under-secretary, stepped down with his chief. \ir. Eden, lea'd'ing proponent of collective security and the League of 'Nations, in his letter of resignation to the prime minister said a difference had developed "between us on a .decision of great importance in itself and far- reaching in its consequences." His departure was widely interpreted a•s opening' the way for .Mr. Charnbcerlain to ,pursue a 'plan close to his heart, a far reaching settlement •of ',outstand- ing ,Ainglo-Italian 'controversies. Tt was 'reported Great Britain planned to recognize the 'Italian conquest of :Ethiopia., The grime minister, in accepting. the resignation, insisted there was no fu'ndamental !breach .between 'himself and Mr. Eden—merely one of proced- ure on lItalian-British friendship. The resignation tame a few hours after Mr. Eiden was attacked ,by Chancellor Hitler of !Gerinemy-.• Hit- ter said the youthful cabinet member did not fully understand the implica- tions of the Bolshevist danger to Europe, But the clash with Mr. Chamberlain was an Italy, not Germ- any. ` 'be prince minister, in a letter answering Mr. !Eden, declared: "The decision which you find :yourself un- a'ble 'to accept is whether the present moment is .appropriate for the cent- mencement of Anglo -Italian conver- sations."

Marritt) " 'V1'•oodlat owners are disappointed at times with the 'heavy loss and poor development of the trees planted in the woodlot. 'More factors should be considered when .planting in a wood - lot than starting a plantation on open land. The competition of the roots and shading by the large trees retard the growth and often kill the .planted trees. The woodlot might have been awerstocked and trees should have been removed rather than additional acres planted. Reasons tIrat a 'woodiest owner may have for 'planting forest trees: 114 To fill in an area that has not been reforested from seed from the large trees. The sod may be too thick for the tree seeds to germinate. ,Break - lag up the sod by plow, .disc -harrow or cultivator will till pravdde loose soil for the trees to germinate in. R. To speed the restocking of a woodlot that has been pastured. 3. To increase the future ,use and value of time woodtot'by planting val- uable species such as pine. spruce, walnut and white ash. 4. '1'o provide an evergreen wind- break along the borders of the wood - lot di. To increase the area of woodland on the farm by 'planting on cleared land. 7. 'Co plant 'sub -marginal 'land such as light ;and. shallow soil, stony site or a steep hillsides 8, To add to the beauty of the 'wood - Int, by planting evergreens in a hard - woad hush. There #ire a number of axioms that should he given careful consideration when planting in the woodlot is con- templated. Trees require light, therefore do not plant in thick shade, 2. The various species suffer con- siderably in the density of shade that they will grow under. Ali species will grow in open. un- shaded locations. Species that should never be 'planted' in shaded location:; are Scotch Pine, Jack Pine, European Larch, Pacer Birch and Poplar, Species that will grow under light shade are Red Pine, Red Oak, Nor- way Spruce, White Elm, Soft Maple, 0 D, H1 McInnes chiropractor Office Commercial Hotel Hours—Mon, and Thurs. after Electro Therapist — Massage noon and by appointment FOOT CORRECTION by manipulation—Sun-ray treat- ment Phone 2ed. White Ash and Basswood. Species that will grow in :half shade arz White Pine, White Spruce and Sugar Maple, Species that will grow under fairly thick shade are Sugar Maple, Beech, Hemlock and White Spruce. 3. White Spruce, White Pine and Sugar Maple b'illi grow well under Poplar and Paper .Birch. Red Pine, White Ash Walnut and Red Oak should not be planted unless the !Crown is fairly open. 4. Do not plant an evergreen close to a hardwood sapling as the sapling is certain to ruin the leader of the ev- ergreen by whipping. 5. A tree planted carefully has a much better chance of survival, ' 6. Trees that have started from seed are more vigorous and will crowd out the ,plau'ted trees. 7. The loss will be reduced if the planting is done early in the Spring. 8. Trees that have had the roots ex- posed to sun and wind have their chance of survival reduced .consider- ably. 9. Different species differ in their soil and moisture requirements. Residents of !Ontario may secure free small trees for ,p'la'nting in the woodlot, starting new plantations or establishing a windbreak around the farm buildings. Application forms and descriptive literature may be 'obtained by writing the !Forestry 'Branch 'Par- liament Buildings, Toronto, or calling at the Government tree nurseries at St. Williams, Orono and Midhurst, or the County !Agricultural offices.

Canadian Winter Eggs Please British Housewives A new branch of Canadian com- fy mereo has been established in the shipping of winter -produced eggs to Great Britain, a move officially inaugurated January 13 when the Canadian Pacific freighter Beaverbrae sailed from Saint John with the first carlot shipment, A week before the sistership Beaverford carried a sample shipment . overseas, the first Canadian winter -produced eggs ever sent to Great Britain. Up tillthea only "storage eggs" had been shipped, England re- ceiving her fresh eggs from Con- tinental countries. Canadian gov- ernment officials stated this pro- gressive step would boost the Canadian product above the stan- dard of ,Australian eggs and bring them into competition with poul- try supplies from Denmark, draw- ing better prices tor Canadian farmers.
