was not formally made ont until 1850,
when Charles I. bestowed the title upon
Ben Jonson. No doubt this poet val.
ued the gift Of Canary wine that came
every year with his annuity, and shared
it generously with his companions.
Southey was perhaps the only one of
oil the poets laureate who ever COM
muted his allowance of wine for money.
Southey and Wordsworth were the
immediate predecessors of Tennyson.
1t is not easy to make out the line of
court poets even from the time of Ben
Jonson to Southey. Under the COM
monwealth there was no court and no
occasion for poet laureate. After the
restoration Dryden held the Office, and
he was followed by Shadwell, Tate,
Rowe, Eusden, Cibber, Whitehead, War
ton and Pye. The reader will see from
this list how obscure many of the lau-
reates have become.-Youth's Compan-

Sleep With Head to the North.


The ld-time superstitious belief that
human beings should sleep with their
heads toward the north is now believed
to be based upon scientific principle.
Some French savants have made cx-
periments upon the body of crimina:
who had suffered death and these tests
go to prove that each human body is in
itself an electric battery, one electrode
being represented by the head and the
other by the feet. The body of the
subject upon which the queer expert
ments mentioned above were made was
taken Immediately after death and
placed upon "a pivotal Iboard, free to
move in any direction. After some lit
tile vacillation the head portion turned
toward the north and then remained
stationary. One of the experimenters
took hold of the pivot board and
turned it so that the head pointed
south, but upon being freed it almost
Immediately resumed the first named
position-turned until the head pointed
north. TO prove that this was neither
accident or coincident upon muscular
twitchings, as some had suggested, the
board was repeatedly turned half
around and then freed, but always
with similar results.-Boston Globe.

ON THE WAY TO cALc,s.

A Chostly Funeral COrtege-Thc Sorrow.
ful DirGe Of the Mourners.
A small procession of people, at a
sort OF q half run, half walk, rapidly
came toward us, singing a nasal dirge.
The leader of the funeral, for such we
soon perceived it to be, carried coffin
lid. decorated with various colored
ribbons, upright in his hand, and fol-
lowing him came numerous bearers of
banners with the portraits of saints de-
plcted on their embroidered fronts; the
next in order of procession were the
papathes, or priests, in long garments,
the predominant color of which was
white; they appeared to rise above the
rest Of the mourners, owing to the pc
culiar shape of their clerical headgear,
perched on their long hair, which was
fastened up in knot like a chignon
behind their heads.
After them came the corpse, an aged
woman in shallow coffin carried
shoulder high. The feet and head were
slightly propped up and were fully ex-
posed to view; they even seemed to
possess ghastly kind of vitality from
the tremulous motion impaired to them
by the bearers. The cortege having
passed on along the white road toward
the blue horizon in its front, we re-
placed our hats, which had been re-
moved out of Difference to the dead,
and continued our way to Calcis, which
we entered by way of the market place.
On market days the open space
where most of the country peoples
business is transacted is closely packed
with lively, gesticulating crowd, in
garments of various hues and cuts,
from the clean or unclean foustanella
to baggy blue Turkish trousers. from
the handiwork of the local snip to the
latest turnout of Partisan tailor;
then is to be seen much bargaining;
fine chickens-for this is the land of
hens-changing hands at seven and
one-half pence each. figs at two and
one-half pence the octer "a little under
three pounds) and other provisions of
equally good and cheap quality.

THE POET LAUREATE.

Something Of the History Of This Unique
Office.
The recent death of Tennyson calls
attention to the honorary appointment
which he held under the British crown.
The usage of having court poet is a
very old one. 1t can be traced back to
adopted by Rome. Statuary shows us
the poets of both these people, with
their features shaded by crown of
laurel. The title poet laureate, so far
as we can learn, was devised by Fred
erickI I. of Germany. who bestowed it
with wreath of bay leaves upon the
monk Gunther.
Gunther is said to have celebrated
his monarch's deeds in an upic poem.
This was in the twelfth century, and a
copy of the poem would now be difficult
to find.
From the time Of Fetrarch, who was
crowned at Rome, the title became for
some centuries an honorary degree
which the universities of the continent
and of England were authorized to
confer. We may suppose that the
favor was sometimes unworthIy
granted, else why should Sancho PanZa
have consoled his ass, when both ass
and rider had fallen into a ditch. by
exclaiming: II promise to give thee
double feed, and to place crown OF
laurel on thy head that thou mayest
look like poet laureatc?'
1t is only through tradition that we
are able to assign an origin to this Of
flee in England. In the deed which
conferred upon Chaucer and his sue
cessors in the Office an annuity and the
yearly allowance of tierce-forty
gallons-of sweet Malvoisie wine. the
king named the father of English liter
ature as ''My valet, Godfrey Chaucer. -
The monarch made no allusion to his
"valet's" poetic genius.
In the time of Queen Elizabeth there
was need of poet laureate because
of the frequency with which masques
were performed by :her command.
These masques required the compost
ton of what we call ibretti, species
of verse which is set to music, of which
we have a sample in Milton's ''Comus." "
Spenser served her majesty we'll in
supplying these. =

OCEAN CURRENTS EXPLAINED.
Discovery Which Shows that They Are
Due to Har0metic Pressure.

Discovery Which Shows that They Are
Due to lsar0metic Pressure.
Under the direction of Lieut.. Com.
Richardson Clover, the photographic
Office of the navy has made one of the
most momentous discoveries in the
whole annals of photography. 1t is
safe to say that the seamen and mcteer-
ologists of the whole world will soon be
discussing it. 1t has been discovered
that the direction of the wind and also
of all the great ocean current closely
conforms to the line of barometric
pressure. Those lines, or curves, as
they are generally called, seem in fact
to suggest the flow of the great ocean
currents of wind and water. Knowing
the conformation of these barometric
curves it is possible to predict the direc-
tion of the winds for considerable
periods and also to inform mariners in
advance what changes in the flow of
the ocean currents may be expected.
Hitherto there has never been any
explanation of the relation of these
one to another, and the chart to be is
sued by the photographic Office next
week will contain the first official an
nouncement to the world of scientific
generalization which should make
Clover's name universally famous. 1t
will be wonderful revelation to the
European photographers, and especial
ly to the English, whose latest charts
show an astounding ignorance of the
direction of the ocean currents along
The western shores of Europe.
The United States naval hydrograph-
ic Office now takes its due place as the
great source and headquarters for in
formation relative to the atmospheric
and other conditions of the sea, and
its charts, which are already invaluable
to all mariners. must hereafter possess
a reputation of which all Americans
may we'll be proud. d.-Washington Post.
