the appearance of our Will Strong in
Los Angeles to play his first professional
game of ball, was disposed to be funny
at his expense, characterixinR him as
s'hay-seed" and intimating that his
clothes didn't fit him, or words to that
effect. As q matter of fact Strong
knows as little, perhaps, about hay
making and farming as the sporting
editor Of the Times, and that is quite an
admission; however, he can play ball,
as the Times and the balance of the
Los Angeles dailies are compelled to ad-
NIT. Some time next week we are
promised that Strong will be given q
chance to distinguish himself in the
pitchers bt x, where he belongs, and he
will probably be able to give some OF
the "dudes" chance to lunge at his
hays seed curves, and they will discover,
no doubt, that their bats don't fit the
ball. We will stake our little pile that
Strong will ''get there" He probably
won't appear in the box in swallow-tail
coat, kid gloves and patent-leather
boots, but he'll get there just the same,
and the Pomona hay-seeds will be on
hand in their home-spun garments to
give him q send off.
Strong will be in the box today, All
Pomona will be on hand to cheer him
on to victory.

Female Jcsters. /,

Nothing better illustrates the dullness
of society in the Middle Ages than the
custom used by an high placed and
wealthy persons of keeping a profess
sional jester. nor was it confined to
Christendom, for we read that Cortez
found an individual of this profession
at the court of Montezuma. Our mod
ern clowns, though very different from
the licensed testers of old, owe to them,
of course, their origin; but, so far as
know, the female jester; who was in
vogue before the male. has no present
representative
We are told by Erasmus that in all
the great inns on the Continent there
was in his time female official of
this description, who enlivened the COM
pany as she waited at table by witt
cisms and repartee. 1t tshoulds be added,
however, that she was generally young
and pretty. So late as 1858, we read in
Mrs. Hornby's Travels" that size found
afemale Jester at Constantinople, who
was exceedingly amusing. London Il

Tennyson's Vanity.

Tennyson did not object to homage. Any
form of it that was sincere gave him real
pleasure, but he decidedly objected to be
ing stared at. He saw no reason why
strangers should wish to come or should
be permitted to come trooping over his
grounds, peering into his windows or in
tercepting him in his daily walks. But if
they chose to take off their hats as they
passed him on the road, that was another
matter.
Sir Edwin Arnold says that Tennyson
"had yanity-a noble vanity-a proud
pleasure in the very notoriety which
brought strangers peeping and stealing
about his gates to get sight of him, al
belt you saw Private Road painted on the
first rod of his domain and Private
Grounds inscribed upon the first boundary
fierce. He did not like the country people
to pass him on the read without recognize
ing him. and now and then, when visitor
from afar came with genuine alteration,
he could and would be immensely gracious
and generous. Cor Boston Herald.

4 LONDON LANDSCAPE.


Before me lies no purple distance wide,
With faint horizon hills to bound my view.
Tall houses close me in on every side.
Pierced here and there by meager Sits of
blue.
TITS not for me to watch the slow dawn come
Across the quiet meadows dcwy gray;
It's not for me to hear the brown bees hum
Upon the gorsy uplands all the day.
But can see one gracious growing thing
A poplar tree spreads fair beside my door.
Its bright unrestful leaves keep Pickering
And whispering to the breezes evermore.
And when at eve the fires of sunset flare,
And parapets and roofs are trimmed wit.
gold,
And like bold beacon lights flash here and there
The dingy warehouse windows manifold,
The little leaves upon my poplar tree
All in the wondrous glory shake and shake
Transmitted by the sunset alchemy
Each one into a FURNISHED golden flake.
Then by and by, from some dim realm afar,
The dark comes down and blots the worli
from sight,
And 'twixt the trembling poplar leaves star
Hangs like shining blossom all the night.

New England's Great Storm.

In the spring of 1717 an amount of snow
fell in New England that has not been
equaled during the three centuries of its
history. The great storm began in Febru-
ary, and buried the earth to the depth of
ten to twenty feet. Cattle were buried in
it, and were found frozen stiff under the
drifts, and hundreds of sheep persisted.
Wild animals grew SO desperate from the
cravings of hunger that they became
nightly visitors to the farmers sheep pens.
Bears and wolves followed the deer even
into the settlers clearings, and pounced
upon them there, killing them at such a
rate that deer reeves were afterward chosen
in every town to protect those valuable
animals.
Many one story house was entirely COW
cred with snow, and even the chimneys in
some instances could not be seen. Tun-
nels led from house to house, and snow
shoes were in frequent requisition.
Stepping out of the chamber window
some people ventured to explore the fields
of snow. One young man in Newbury,
Mass, was paying his addresses to a lady
who lived three miles away, and had not
seen her for week after the storm. This
state of things could no longer be endured
and mounting his snowshoes he went over
the hills, to enter her house, as he had left
his own by way of a chamber window. As
he was the first person the family had seer
since the storm, his visit was highly ap
preciated.-Youth's Companion.
