Many References in His Works to Where
He First Saw the Light of Day.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
At moment when the public are inter
ested in the present condition and destina-
tion of Carlyle's house in Cheyne row, the
announcement comes that the estate is for
sale on which is Somersby Rectory, the
birthplace of the Poet Laureate. The "old
rectory," as it is now termed, has ceased to
be the rectory of the parish; the lord of the
manor having, by an arrangement with the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners, given in ex-
change for it house in the adjoining parish
of Bag Enderby. To Tennyson-lovers it is
place of great interest, though it is to be
feared that the pilgrims are not, after all,
so very numerous, "Hither wandering
down" Arthur Hailam enjoyed the ''cooler
air" of the garden and the lawn, shaded by
witch elms that still remain; but the shape
of the lawn has been altered, and "the pop
lars four that stand by nv fathers door,
are no longer in existence. The references
in 'Tn Memoriam" to the landscape around
are numberless.
The gray old grange, the lonely fold,
The low morass and whispering reed,
The simple stile from mead to mead,
The sheep walk up the windy void.
The parsonage, picturesque two-storied
house, with steep tiled roof and gable,
under which is the window OF the poets
earliest workshop, came into the possession
of his father in 1908, year before the birth
of his illustrious son, and owes to him the
addition of large room, which was built
in the not-too-well comprehended Gothic of
the period, and has very ecclesiastical e1-
terror,

GROWTH OF THE OYSTER,
By Looking at the Shell You Can Tell the
Age of the Bivale.


Pearson's Weekly.l
The oyster at the commencem ent of itt
career is so small that 1000, 900 would only
occupy square inch. In six months each
individual oyster is large enough to cover
halfa-crown, and in II months a crown
piece The oyster is its own architect, and
the she'll grows as the fish inside, grows, be-
ing never too small.
1t also bears its age upon its back, and it
is as easy to tell the age of an oyster by
looking at its shell as it is that of horses by
looking at their teeth. Every one who has
handled an oyster-shell must have noticed
the successive layers overlapping each
other
These are technically termed shots, and
each one marks years growth, so that BY
counting them the age of the oyster can
be determined. Up to the time of its matu-
shot are regular and successive; but aft er that
time they become irregular and are piled
one upon another, so that their shell becomes
bulky and thickened. Fossil oysters have
been seen of which each shell was nine
inches thick, whence they may be judged to
be more than 900 years old
One to 100000 are produced from a
single parent, and their scarcity is accounted
for by the fact that man is not the only
oyster-eating animal. The starish loves
the oyster, and preys upon it increasingly.
A variety of wnelk is also very fond of
young oysters, to get at which 1t bores right
through the shell and sucks the fish up
through the hole thus made.

Inc Interest Increasing Rapidly as the

The interest in the game of football to be

intense. There has been big demand for

There will he no reserved seats except those

engaged. The seating capacity of the grand
stand is placed between L. 500 and 1000 and it
Is expected that most of this will be taken
up by ladies while the gentlemen will line
up against the ropes on the ground. 1t is
possible that the demand for admission
tickets will be so large before hand that it
will be foTnd necessary to put in some

winning. Neither desires to score another
tie and each realizes that it has to do its
best to win. To-day the A. A. A. will nlay

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF TIE DAY

New HAVEN, Conn, Nov. Prince
tons defeat by the University of Pennsyl-
vania Saturday need not, as was claimed BY
many newspapers to-day, result in the an
nual Thanksgiving Day game at New York
next year being played between Yale and
the University of Pennsylvania. The
Intercollegiate Association constitution
SAYS that "the two leading colleges of the
preceding wear shall play in or near New
York, but it does not name the date of the
Leaders game as at any particular time.
1t is the current feeling at Yale that Yale
will not play the University of Pennsyl-
wanna At that date next wear
Princeton's defeat is deeply regretted by
Yale, but the feeling is almost universal
here that by it Princeton has shown itself
merely a second rate football college. A
revival of the rejected dual athletic league
with Harvard is thought of by Yale, and if
once more proposed by Harvard it would
probably be accepted by Yale. The feeling,
too, tends toward the belief that the pres
ent intercollegiate Football Association
has about outlived its usefulness, and it
would not be surprising if it were entirely
dissolved al the close of this year. or at
least it Yale were to withdraw.

| A large and fashionable audience gave
Richard Mansfield very hearty welcome
at the Alvin Theater last night. "Beau
Brummell" was the play. If anything the
| performan ce was more polished than ever,
and the central figure, thanks to Mr.. Mans
fields constant care of little things, nearer
perfection as study of character. The de-
gree to which this remarkable actor has
elaborated by no means complex charac-
ter is as wonderful as it is admirable.
The artificial side of the immortal dandy,
his buckram of airs and graces, is
Mr. Mansfeld's especial study, and for that
reason, perhaps, we like him best when he
is unnatural, when the theatrical tricks of
mirror and perfection of the fashion over
shadow the heart of the man. Before the
glass with the pomatum pot handy and the
perfumery everywhere, Beau Br7mlnaeH is
natural in his very unnaturalness 1t
is when this thing of stays and vapid man.
ners, this pretty plaything of the court,
shows a sensibility and warmth of heart
that would do credit to any real man, that
Mr.. Mansfield is not always so satisfactory.
Yet there is genuine pathos in that
last imaginary banquet over which the
wretched exile presides, and as in the
cheerier atmosphere of the first three acts
Mr. Mansfield devotes himself to the per-
fection OF detail with excellent results.
Take, for instance, the point where the
Beau sends his snuffbox to the King and
empties the snuff into a paper cup-how
carefully the poor wretch sweeps up every
grain of the precious stuff, even dpstlng the
side of his hands and his finger tips This
is art OF the highest order, and in Its prac-
tice the ability and will to take infinite
pains are the chief causes of Mr.. Mansfeld's
success. The audience was liberal in its
applause and curtain calls were numerous.
In the support w. j. Ferguson as usual
stands out. He is an admirable actor; keep
ing always his proper place in the per-
spective, simply sincere always, and so
most effective. The Beau would lose much
of his attractiveness without such valet.
Miss Beatrice Cameron was daintily sweet
in her accustomed role, but the part is
trife merely. The rest of the cast were
satisfactory, Miss Kate Lester making a
remarkably handsome Mrs ST AnbyL
Tonight the new play "The Scarlet
Letter" will be given.
