SHAKESPEARE AND THE WHEEL. Shakespeare, It would seem, must have known something nbout tho bicycle, for throughout his plays he makes frequent references to the wheel. It must be that Hamlets father had visited a bicycle academy, whoro beginners on tho wheel were plenty, for his ghost Bald; "What a falling off was thcrol" This most excellent description Is paral leled by another In tho samo play, In which reference Is mado to an accident, tho new woman of tho early sixteenth century being evidently tho greatest suf ferer. Tho First Player says: "Break all tho spokes and fellies from her wheel." Then tho Fool In "Lear" gives advice to coasters, of tho merits of which tho modern rider may Judge for himself. Ho says: "Let go thy hold when a great wheel runs down hill, lest It break thy neck with following It," Even Cleopatra had her wheel. An tony advises her to mount und seek Caesar, when he says: "Of Caesar seek your honor, vylth your safety." There was evidently blcyclo thieves In those days, and owners had to carefully guard their precious wheels. In "The Tempest" Alonzo says to tho King: We, too, my lord. "Will guard your person while you tnko your rest, And watch your safety." In that samo play Ariel undoubtedly beard tho King and his attendants com ing on their wheels when she sang: "Hark! Now I hear them; ding, dong, bell." It Is safo to assumo that, as today tho wheel Is a never-ending source of conver sation, so wus It at tho time of Titus An dronlcus, though the listener was moro patient then. Aaron says to Demerlus: "Now talk nt pleasure ot your safety." It appears from a quotation made by ithe King In "All's Well That Ends Well" that the law required Ininps to be car ried at night, and that a violation of It was followed by death. Ho says: Let mo live after my flnmo lacks oil. Chains were not noiseless, and bells were used In tho days of tho "Comedy of Errors," as Is shown by a conversation- between the Dromlo of Syracuse und Adrlana, which suns thus: A chain, ti chain, do you not hear It? What, tho chain? No, no; the bell. The availability of wheels In dangerous service Is Illustrated In "Corlolanna " when the winded messenger says to Co mlnlus: Spies of the Volsces Held me In chase, that I wns force 1 to wheel Three or four miles about; else nad I, sir, Half 1111 hour since brought my report Tho tire of which Shakespeare wrote was evidently filled with hair Instead of air, and even Its color was of Impor tance. In "Much Ado About Nothing" Margaret says: I like the new tiro within excellenl'y, If the hair wore a thought browner. "Puck's" prophetic remark ibout plac ing n girdle round the world In forty minutes Is fully equalled by thAt if Launcc In "The Two Gentlemen of Ver ona," when .he says: Then may I set tho world on wheels. Surely this prophecy has been fulfilled. Now York Herald. Stimulate the stomach rnulA the tlvr. cnrR htltona Pills n.K. hpartaplie. rilzr.fnMR. mir itftmnrh. rnnttlnattftn. etc. Price 21 cents.
