Tennyson Fortv-six Years AGO.

In the memoirs of William and Mary
Hewitt, recently published occurs this
little glimpse of the laureate. The Hewitt
house in Clapton was a small literary
center. Among others the retiring and
meditatiye young poet Alfred Tennyson
visited us, and charmed our seclusion by
the recitation Of his exquisite poetry. He
spent Sunday night in our house, where
we sat talking until 3 in the morning. All
the next day he remained with US in CON
slant converse. We seemed to have known
him for years So, in fact, we had. for his
poetry was himself. He hailed all at
tempts at heralding a grand, more liberal
state of public opinion, and consequently
sweeter, more noble mode of living. He
wished that we Englanders could dress up
our affections in little more poetical cos
tune; real warmth Of heart would lose
nothing, rather gain 10y it; as it was, our
manners were as cold az the walls of our
churches. -

Corn Fodder for Horses.

There seems to be quite difference of
opinion among horsemen as to the valne
OF corn fodder as a food for horses A
leading farm paper a few weeks apo can
uoned Its readers against feeding horses
on corn stalks, stating that they would
make make the horses coats rough. Mr.. G. w
Williams, the breeder and trainer of
Axtell, says that his wonderful colt had
little besides corn-stalks for rough fodder
during nearly two winters. He saws he
considers corn-stal1s the best rough fodder
he can get for his colts The writer once
worked for farmer who never cut any
hay: His cattle and horses never had any
fodder but cured corn-stalks. The animals
always looked well and the horses did
their full share of work. The writer now
has two horses that have very little 10 do.
and are not heavily fed. One of them pre-
ters cornstalks to hay, while the other runs
down If fed On stalks without hay. 1t is
an old horse, and cannot handle the stalks
as well as younger horse would. We
hnd that this prejudice against corn-stalks
for horses Is quite common among a class
OF farmers. Except in the case of old
horses with poor teeth. we do not think
the prejudice is just. In fact it seems
reasonable that a moderate supply of well
cured stalks will prove beneficial to a horse
in winter, and even with old horses. if the
stalks could be cut and moistened with hot
water they would prove valuable. A good
deal Of the objection to stalks for horses
may be traced to the fact that the grain of
the corn is fed with the stalks. This makes
an Unbalanced ration, When stalks
are fed, give oats and wheat bran.

Fishes Built For Speed.
London Public Opinion.

The speed of fishes is almost an unknown
quantity, it being. as Prof. G.. Brown
Goode says. very difficult to measure. If,
says the Professor, you could get fish and
put in trough of water 900 feet long, and
start it at one end and make it swim to
the other without stopping, the infor-
nation could be easily obtained; but fish
are unintelligent, and will not do this.
Estimates of the speed of fish are conse-
quently only Appropriated and more or
less founded upon guessing. One can tell,
however, at . glance, whether fish Is
built for speed or not A fast fish looks
trim and pointed, like a yacht Its head
is conical in shape. and its fins fit down
close to its body, like a knife-blade into
its handle Fish with large heads, big
ger than their bodies, and with short,
stubby fms, are built for slow motion.
The predatory fishes, those that live on
prey, are the fastest swimmers The food
fishes are, as general thing, the slowest,
and consequently are easily captured.
Their loss is recompensed, however, by
the natural law which makes them very
prolific in reproduction. Dolphins have
been known to swim around an ocean
steamer and it is quite safe to say that
their speed is quite twenty miles an hour;
but it may be twice as much, The bon
ito is fast swimming fish, hut just what
its speed is is not known. The head of the
goosefsh is very large twenty times as
large as its body 1t moves about very
little, and swims at the bottom of the
fastest Of food fishes It's body is cone
shaped and is as smooth as FURNISHED met
al Its speed is as matches as that of
the dolphin. and, in motion it cuts the
water like "a yacht.

the cunning scheme was exposed. Walton

HELD CAPTIVE BY INDIANS.
The Government Seeking to Recover n
Child From the Canadian Blackfeet.

WINNIPEG, Man When Lord Stanley
governor generaD and party visited the
Canadian Backfeet Indian reserve last
fall near Mcleod y very pretty little white
child OF or 8 years was noticed playing
about with the Indian children. On in
quiry 1t was learned from an interpreter
that the girl had been captured in the
United States during an Indian raid Lord
Stanley tried to induce the Indians to part
with the child, but they would not. The
girl story got into the press and thus
reached the Washington government. Cor
respondence followed, and sufficient infor-
nation was obtained to make it apparent
that the little girl is the daughter of some
American officer who was killed in battle
with the Indians Accordingly the other
Jay United States officer arrived at Nc
Leod under instructions to recover the
child at any cost This may not be sim
pie operation, as the Indians will probably
refuse to give her up.

An Italian with two remarkably we'll
trained monkeys and family of trained
white rats is coming money on the streets
of San Francisco.
So well trained are the monkeys and rats
that at the command one of the monkeys
takes a rat in his arms in the same man
ner a mother would hold a baby. The other
monkey plays the doctor, and not only does
he look at the rats tongue, but he pours
water from bottle into a tiny spoon and
gives his patient dose of medicine
Both monkeys dress themselves without
any assistance from their master in com
plete suits of clothes, even to the stockings
and shoes, lacing up the latter and tying
the strings neatey and securely. To prove
the thoroughness OF their training, the re-
porter was told to pick up the coat belong
ing to one of the monkeys and, unobserved
by the animal, turn one of the sleeves in
side out. This was done and the coat
placed back again The monkey, after
attempts to put the coat ON, took it entire
ly off, discovered and righted the turned
sleeve and then angrily chattering at being
interfered with, slipped ON the garment
and went on with his part of the show
