II / were asked of all things what l most
would like to be,
I'd choose to be mermaid and live below the
sea.
How nice, instead of walking. to swim round
like little whales,
And to wear, instead of stockings, many shiny
pairs of scaIes,
Which don't need changing every time that
nurse says they are wet,
And then TO have no shoes that always come
untied!-an yet
And yet, although it must be nice TO swim
around in scales,
To attend n school of porpoises and play at tag
with whales,
To be on friendly speaking terms with jelly
fish and cells,
And never to be sent to bed or told I'm late for
meals,
Still, when think of Christmas eve my reso-
luton fails,
For what would Santa think if hung up a
pair of scales?

The farmers' union. (Memphis, Mo.) 1891-1895, 1892-10-13

According to leading medical journal
out of 1000 soldiers who were examined
recently 10y a surgeon nearly % per
cent. We're found TO be suffering from
heart trouble as the res lit of forced eX-
ertion. This leads that journal to the
conclusion that athletic sports are not
conducive to longevity, and it points as
a proof to France, where there is no
craze for muscular development, and
where one finds more people over the
age of 60 than in England, with its rage
for physical culture. 1t would seem,
however. that the distinguished editor
of the Journal in question COMPOUNDED
the rage for display athletics with
that for general physical development.
Ii has been long noted in the gymna-
Sums that those who train the most
persistently give out the quickest. The
cause of it is that they develop the
muscles at the expense of the nervous
strength. Bnt there is moderation in
both which means better health and
longer life, and to the majority OF those
who enter gymnasium work that is what
is sought rather than record breaking
capabilities -Roston journal.

LORD TENNYSON is DEAD.
An Attack OF Influenza COrnIslicate
with Gnut Results Fatally.

An Attack of Influenza Com IMPLICATED
with t:nut Results Fatally.
Lord Alfred Tennyson, poet-laureate
If Great Brita n, died at his residence,
Aldworth, Surrey. at an early hour
Thursday morning. 4 slight cold taken
a week before developed into influenza,
which caused death.
Alfred Tennyson was born at SomerS-
by, Lincolnshire, England, in 1909. His
father, the Rev. George Clayton Jenny
son, was tie rector of Somersby and
vicar of Eenn nyton and Grimsbv, while
his mother was the daughter of the Rev.
stephen Fytche, vicar of Louth. He
was tn" third of ii family of twelve chill
dren. The talent which gained for him
the title @. Poet Laureate of England
began to develop itself in his early
youth. for when Is years cd he, with
his brother Charles. who afterward be-
came vicar OF Grasby and assum d the
name of Turner, published small
volume entitled Poems by Two Broth
ers." TIE poems attracted some atten-
ton, those signed A. L. receiving the
highest praise. Coleridge declaring that
they alone of the selections in the vol
umc gave hopeful promise of a coming
IOet.
In 1850 there appeared anonymously
what was pio' ably the purest and truest
Poem of that period, Tennyson's In
Memoriam, a series OF 129 brief poems
ali wrought together in grand pathetic
tribute to the memory of the POETS col
lege friend and companion, Arthur
Hallam. who died in Vienna in 1888.
For seventeen years Tennyson had
borne the sacred grief of his friend $
death. during which time he composed
hc .,In +,i, ,rI in b, N
Memoriam.' November u. 1850, Ten
nyson was appointed TO the honorary
place of Poet Laureate of England. sue
ceeding Wordsworth. OF the poems
written in that capacity there have
been few that have been considered by
| critics as works which are to take rank
| with oilers of his poems, notably the
ode on the Death of the Duke OF Well
/ I;ngton," and the Charge of the Light
Brigade at Ralaklava.' Both of these
We're included in his volume entitled
Maud and Other Poems, published in
! 1850.
The creating OF Tennyson a peer was
| not conducive to lowering his dignity
| and reducing his vanity. He was ere
| atcd peer by Queen Victoria early in
| 1891. in consideration of his distin-
| suishc services. March IL of that year
| he took his seat in the House of Lords.
| Tennyson turned his attention toward
| the dramatic art first in 1870, when he
wrote "The Window, or the Songs of the
Wrens, which was set to music by Sir
| Arthur Sullivan. In 1875 he wrote
Queen Mary" a drama, and his last
! effort in the dramatic line was The
! Foresters,' which was first presented
| in London few months ago.
| The residence of Lord Tennyson has
| been on the Isle of Wight for several
| years, near Freshwater Gate. He owned
| tn re a tommodious stone house, with
!: pleasant library, where he spent the
| most of his hours of literary work, sur
rounded ly his books.

Terhune Herrick, in a pertinent article

First, let them be true. Women,

this matter, a perverted sense q right

In the other three cases of the ten,

sideration for the servant inspires the
woman, who will say only good of g
