THE chief difficulty in the way of
appointing poet laureate to succeed
Tennyson appears to be that the three
or four bards who would appear at all
respectable in the dead singers man.
tie are strongly tainted with social
ism. Were it not for Swinburne's Of
ten and flercely expressed scorn to the
pomp and trappings of royalty he
would succeed to the Office as OF an
inheritance. Tennyson began his
poetic life inspired with something
of the same scorn. But it was long,
long ago, that he wrote and believed:
Howe'er 1t be, IL seems 10 me
IT'S emily noble TO be good.
Kind hearts are more than corCnets,
And simple faith than Norman blood
All that sort Of thing had been for
given when he was made Lord Ten
nyson. And even Swinburne's "Songs
Before Sunrise" might be overlooked,
but it would hardly do to favor with
the smiles Of royalty the man who
advised the assassination of the Car.
William Morris, of Earthly Paradise"
fame, is another great poet, but he is
also socialist. And so faithful Sir
Edwin Arnolds stands pretty good
chance for the honor. His lyrical
feet are lame, his rhymes are bad
and his blank verse monotonous. But
then poor Pye was apoet laureate of
whom Byron says that he would rath-
or err with Pope than shine with
Pye, and so was Collcy Cibber, hero
of the Dunciad. The list is not all
made up of Tennysons.

ONE OF the papers published in
London has adopted the plan OF dis
playing from its building three times
each day the signals which tell what
kind OF weather is predicted by the
meteorological bureau. Also 1t keeps
on hand in the ONCE supply Of cards
which may be had for the asking by
persons who do not know what the
signals mean but want to understand
them. The average Londoner who
goes past that Office has only to look
up in order to tell whether or not it
is advisable to carry an umbrella, and
the only fault in the arrangement
consists in the fact that he has al
ready left home when he sees the sig
nal.

to be a sufficient warning to the fools

The cruelty is not alone in the tor

the bone is removed and certain mus

also in the suffering of the animals
from flies, mosquitoes and other in

only by the use of the tail. But the

Anger and Love.

Man has an unfortunate readiness
In the evil hour after receiving an
affront to draw together all the moon
spots on the other person into an
outline of shadow and night-piece,
and to transform single deed into a
whole life, and this only in order that
he may thoroughly relish the pleasure
of being angry. In love he has fort
unately the opposite faculty of crowd
ing together all the light parts and
rays OF its object in one focus, by
means of the burning-glass of imag-
ination, and letting In its sun with
out its spots; but he too generally
does then only when the beloved and
often censured being is already be-
yond the skies In order, however,
that we should do this sooner and
oftener, we ought to act like Winckle-
man, but only in another way. As
he set aside particular half-hour Of
each day for the purpose of behold
ing and meditating on his too happy
existence at Rome, so we ought daily
or weekly to dedicate and sanctify
solitary hour for the purpose of sum-
ming up the virtues OF our families,
our wives, our children, and our
friends, and viewing them in this
beautiful and crowded assemblage OF
their good qualities. Indeed we
should do so for this reason, that we
may not forgive and love too late,
when the beloved beings are already
departed hence, and are beyond our
reach.

A TACOMA man went down to

AS THE spirit of the age is unques-
tionably one of fairness, it follows
that a martyr stands far more chance
of public support and sympathy than
an autocrat; and that the surest way
to create popularity for a man is TO
prosecute him. The presumption is
always, and generally with justice,
against the prosecutors. Persecution
OF whatever kind is at once blunder
and a crime.

PROBABLY there is not another
question that is sent to the newspa-
pers so often as the one asking for a
statement Of the relative Importance
OF Chicago as a port Of navigation.
1t is officially answered in the Gov
eminent report on the internal COM
merce Of the United States for 1890.
The vessel tonnage entering and
clearing at Chicago is about one-half
of that which enters and clears at
London, the latter being the princi-
pal port Of the world. 1t is nearly
two-thirds as great as the total Liv-
erpool tonnage, and greatly exceeds
that Of any other port in the United
Kingdom. 1t nearly equals the total
tonnage arriving and clearing at New
York in the foreign trade, and ex-
ceeds the combined tonnage entering
and clearing in the foreign trade at
the ports Of Boston, Baltimore, Phil
adelphia, and San Francisco. 1t
nearly equals the total tonnage in the
foreign trade at Hamburg, which is
the chief among the German ports,
and exceeds by large margin the
foreign tonnage at Antwerp. If the
coastwise tonnage of New York were
added to its foreign tonnage, that
port would probably dispute the sec
ond place with Liverpool on the list
of world ports, Hamburg would &C.
