when Tennvson Was Made a Peer.

| spent with Lord Tennyson q long
evening till nearly midnight the day be-
fore he took his oaths and his seat as a
peer. He was occupied a good deal in
writing and bringing to perfection a
poem of four lines, which he told me
had given him as much trouble as many
a substantive poem of some length. /:
was interesting to hear Of his tentative
efforts and his rejection of them, till his
a and his mind were perfectly satisfied.
Next day I met him in the house of lords
and saw him write his name on the roll
OF peers.
The attendance in the house was ex-
ceedingly scanty on that historic occa-
sion. do not think that a dozen per
sons were present. The poet was not in
the smallest degree elated. His true
eminence lowered Supremacy above the
adventitious honor, yet he could not but
feel the qualification which had arisen,
not from the fulfllment Of a kind Of am
bition which he had never felt, but from
the sense of the secure fame involved il
the recognition by his country Of the
priceless services which he had rendered
to her observation-disclosures Sunday Mag.

Horses In Spectacles.

Horses, it appears, are taking kindly
to s~pectacles. The Optician, which has
made special Investigations into the SUBJ
ject, gives the case of a short sighted
horse whose owner ordered for him a
pair of spectacles. They We're made to
fasten firmly into the head stall so that
they could not be shaken out of place.
At first the animal appeared startled by
this addition to his harness, but he soon
got used to his glasses and liked them
so much that when he was turned out
to pasture he felt uneasy and uncomfort-
able without his goggles and Il Sunday
hung around the barn and whinnied so
plaintively that the owner put the head
stall and goggles on him, and the horse
was so glad that he rubbed the mans
shoulder with his nose as the only meth
cd of returning thanks.
Dogs who suffer from short sighted
ness have also been provided with spec
tacles and have been able thereby to
recognize their canine acquaintance
much further off than before. If the
system is not carried further no great
harm will be done, but suppose ''uppish"
horses and dogs insist upon d~iscardlng

Early American scuiptors.

1t il worthy of special notice that when
Rush began to model III clay not one of
the artists who have given celebrity to
our native sculpture had seen the light
of day. Frazer WAS not born until 1890.
nor Ezekiel Augur of New Haven until
1891. The latter was originally in the
s 'ocery trade. but failing i'll that took
up modelling and wood carving without
any guide except his natural instincts;
but like the majority of our early sculp-
tors, with the exception of Rush, his eff
forts are interesting only as evidence of
what talent entirely unobstructed can
accomplish.
1t was not until 1905, long after Cop
ley, West, Malbone. Allston and Stuart
had demonstrated our capacity for pic
torial art. that Hiram Powers was born.
The same year Horatio Greenough first
saw the light of day In the remote
wilds of kentucky Hart was brought
into this world in 1910, and Clevenger,
Crawford and Mills followed in 1872,
1918 and lslj. Thus we see that. with
out hereditary genius or predecessors
from whom to copy, Rush achieved his
artistic results, and succeeded in Win
ming for himself a European renown
which made him the equal of some of
the leading foreign carvers and sculptors
of his age, and at the same time well
earned the title of father of American
sculpture. '-Lippincott's.

Hunting zebras,

After crossing the usual heated vel.
low plains, looking for all the world like
an expanse of overparched hayfelds and
dotted here and there with droyes Of
springbok, we outspanned two and SO
rode back again across the hot, weary

ted the forest before we sighted good
troop Of Burchell's zebra, feeding quiet
ly We spread out in line and rode up
to them.
The troop, which consisted mostly Of
mares with yearling foal or two, was
guarded by an old stallion, who stood
sentinel nearest to us with his head up.
Presently, turning half round, he gave
some sort of signal and the rest of the
band galloped briskly off, curveting
and capering as they ran. After moving
few hundred yards the troop suddenly
wheeled round in limo to have good
look at us again.
These tactics of the zebras were dis
played in retreat of some miles, the old
stallion always covering the rear, until
the troop, outfanked by Dove, shot off
to the right and my chance came. gal
loped hard to intercept them, and as
they stood for minute on seeing me in
the line Of fight, got steady shot at
200 yards. The bullet clapped as if on

their fight saw one zebra turn away
alone. Presently she stood again.

Among the reports Of business
assignments we hear nothing about
assignments of farms. Banks may
suspend, but the farms go on grow
ing crops "a hours in a day and sew
en- days in the week. Railroads may
fall into the hands of receivers, but
the farms know no receivership.
Mines and factories close down, but
the farms continue production to the
full capacity. Though the business
world be agitated with failures and
bankruptcy-the farms find their
worst af1iction in the woods and the
weather. The stock exchange wit
nesses shrinkage in corporate values
reaching from SO to 80 per cent, but
the farm loses nothing in its fertility
and but little in it's market value.
The wage Garner in the shops and
factories may lose employment, but
the farmer has no fear of losing his
job or his living as long as there are
human mouths that must have bread.
The financial, commercial and manu-
featuring world may go to smash, but
the soil insurcs him a living.

A Story of millionaire Lick.

James Lick, of San Francisco, was an
unlovable millionaire, of whom a curious
story is told. When a poor youth in
Pennsylvania he was rejected by the
daughter of q wealthy miller ON account
Of his poverty. He vowed at that time
that he would some day build mill
that would far surpass that of his sweet
hearts father. Many years later he
kept his VOW and constructed at San
Jose mill of highly polished California
wood valued at 100000. During his
lifetime Mr.. Lick had few friends and
apparently cared for none. He, lived
plainly and was seen very little in pub
lie. The larger part of his fortune was
left to charities and public institutions,
one notable bequest being the sum of
100000 for the erection of statue to
Key, the author of the ''Star Spang1ed
Banner"
While many institutions profted by
Mr.. Lick's posthumous gifts, his most
famous achievement was the establish
ment Of the Lick observatory on Mount
Hamilton, under the management of the
University of California. Mr.. Lick's
body was placed in 1887 under the base
of the pier sustaining the great telescope

Astrology seems to be gaining in pop
ularity, and many are turning to it for
pointers concerning the fate that is in
store for them. Meteorologists are con-
sulting the planets in relation to changes
in the weather, and scientists are seri-
ously discussing the probability, or even
possibility, of the larger planets exert
ing an influence on the earth sufficient
to affect conditions of life or health.
Astronomers do not believe in astrol-
ogy, but are willing to give the unique
science credit for assisting to develop
the science of astronomy. Long before
there was an interest taken in astronomy
there were many careful observers of
the heavenly bodies. The names chosen
by these men for stars and consultations
remain unchanged. Edgar Lee in Arena.
