TENNYSON'S DREAM.
Warned of the Awful Fate of a Friend
Rahart

Warned of the Awful Fate of Friend
Robert Browning's Story.
DIR. Sarah Hacl1ett Stevenson tells of
an afternoon spent some time ago with
the poet Tennyson and Robert Brown
ing. The conservation turned upon pre-
sentiments and clairvoyance, and Lord
Tennyson, while unwilling to acl1nowl-
edge any belief in either, related re-
marl1a BILE instance of the former which
occurred to himself. One evening while
sitting in his study writing he seemed
to feel the presence of very dear
friend near him. He was unable to
shake off the impression. He tried to
read and to smoke, but it was no use,
for it seemed that the friend was there
appealing for aid. This distressed the
poet. and he went out and walked sew
eral miles, trying to dispossess himself
of the thought but it was of no avail
He could not rid himself of it, and finally
retired only to dream of his friend as
being in great agony, and crying out to
him for relief.
Some two months afterward the poet
heard that the friend, who had been
an explorer, had been killed and eaten
by cannibals, and that this had occurred
at or very near the time he had been so
troubled about him.
Robert Browning, who laughingly
said that his wife was the only super
stitious one in his family, then told OF
an experience he once had with man
who claimed supernatural powers.
Browning discredited his assertions and
the man, wishing to prove that he could
do as he said. asked if he had an heir
loom of any sort about his person.
1t CHANGED that Mrs. B. had provided
her husband with some new shirts,
which were made to be worn wi cuff
buttons, much to Mr.. Browning's dis
gust, and that morning he had ran
sacked the house for the necessary arti-
cles, finally fastening his cuffs with
pair of quaint old buttons which had
been given to him years before. He
showed them to the m an, who, after
looking at them carefully and examin-
ing them closely, took them in his hands
and told of dark room in a house
somewhere on the Island of jamaica in
which a powerful man was struck down
by three robbers, who took from him
every thing of value save these three
buttons, and left him there to bleed to
death.
According to Mrs. DIR. Stevenson this
was literally true, though at the time
not even Mrs Browning knew of it, for
the buttons had belonged to an uncle, a
planter in Jamaica, who had been muir.
dered and robbed as the man described.
The cuff buttons had been found and
sent to the planters mother, who had
given them to Mr.. Browning on con-
dition that he should never speak of the
sad observation-disclosures Post

CATS EYES AS CLOCKS.
The Chinese Utilize Them to Tell tn
Time of DAY.

Time of DAY.
Everybody knows that cats can see in
the dark, and some people are aware
that the reason they can do so is the
peculiar construction of their eyes,
You may have noticed that in moder-
ate light the pupil or black part of pus-
sy's eye is small and of an oval shape,
while in full glare of light it becomes
narrow. In the dark it expands to a
circle and nearly fills the surface of the
eyeball.
This popularity Of the cats eyes is
turned to account in a curious manner
by the Chinese. The Able Hue relates
that when he was travelling in China he
asked his attendant what time it was.
The man went over to a cat that was
quietly basking in the sun, and examin-
ing it's eyes told the able that it was
two hours after noon, and on being
questioned how he knew that, he ex-
planned that the pupils of eats eyes
were largest in the morning, and that
they gradually grew smaller as the light
increased till they reached their mini
mum at noon; that then they began to
widen again, till at night they once more
became large.
The good able was filed with admira-
ton for the ingenuity of a people who
could use cats as clocks; but it must be
admitted that this way of telling the
time of day is rather a loose one, and
could only be trusted in very, very clear
and serene weather, for temporary
gloom or the darkness of storm would
derange the four-footed clock and put it
all awry-Jeweler's Weekly.
