Row Tennyson's Poem Won the Univer
sity Prize.

sity Prize.
Youths Companion.
There Is n story connected with Ten
nyson's prize poem OF "IlmDuctoo,"
which ono may surely tell without
undue reverence, of a master who after
ward did such wondrous work. The
examiners Of the prize manuscripts for
the year were three, the vice chancellor,
who had great reputation but vic
lent temper, and who did not write
we'll; classical professor, who knew no
poetry which was not in u dead lam
guage; and mathematical professor. It
was agreed that each should signify
what he thought of the poems by the
letters IS" and 3D." for good" and
"5ad.n
fhe vlce.chancel!or had tho manu-.
scripts tirsi. When they came to the
mathematical professor, he found Tim
buctoo" scored all over with 'g's." He
did not understand why; he did not
even understand the poem itself, and
being afraid to ask the irascihle vice
chancellor for his reasons, he also wrote
-" on the production.
The classical professor thought it
rather strange that both his predecessors
should admire SO uniatrlli4ible work,
but US he confessed, ne did not care
one iota about the matter so he put
iowa his "ys' with the rest, and as no
onier poem had three "g's," the prize
was unimously awarded to the author
OF "rimbuctoo"
After the affair was over, the three
examiners happened one day to meet,
and the chancellor, in his absolute
fashion, fell to abusing the oDaet two for
their taste in admiring the poem, They
replied, with some natural Indignation,
that they should never have dreamt q
considering it, ii he had not scored 1t all
over with g's.

Now it is Discovered That They War
Off Tontllache. .

Now it is Discovered That They ward
OFF Toothache.
The beard is generally regarded as
merely an ornamental object, except by
a few, who look on it as time-saving
convenience.
Now, however, it appears that the
bead is not only ornamental, but de-
cldedly useful, as those who do not shave
arc much less subjected to facial troubles
than those who submit to the razor.
The reason for this new theory is
very simple one; in tho fret place, the
beard is a great safeguard to al thoseS
who suffer from sore or weak throats;
it is protection against neuralgia, and,
lastly, it ia row claimed 10 be OF great
assistance in warding off toothache.
DIR. Chabbert a celebrated French
physician, has come to the conclusion
that the reason why there are SO many
more cases of facial paralysis among
women than with men is because the
former have no natural protection TO
their fair faces.
1t is true that men are much more
exposed to cold frosts and biting winds,
which bring about the affection, than
are women, but in the few cases which
have come under DR.. Chlbberts notice
where men have suffered, the patients
have almost invariably been clean
sbayen.
To some men it must be relief TO
lind that they still have some ancient
privileges as yet unclaimed by the "naw
woman" although there is a case on
record where one Of these eccentric
ladies even went SO far as to grow o
bushy beard Al feet in length. She was
presented as prisoner to tue Gar in
l724, having been captured from the
army of Charles MI.

aAMBErrrs FlRsr SPEECH
In Less Than Ten Minutes ne Broke
Down Altogether.

DV"h EhhhNDNsb"''
YoIth's Companion.
One Of the most instructive examples
IN the history OF oratory, writes Robert
Waters, is found in the story OF how
Galnbetta made his first successful
speech. He had been retained to argue
a case before bench OF judges. RE
prepared his speech with great care; IN
fact, every sentence in il was closely
studied and committed to memory.
The day of trial came. Gambetta
began with brilliant ex0rdiuin that
hxed the attention OF his hearers. Then
he entered upon his main argument iua
similarly line and llord style, The OPP
posing counsel, Dufauro, smiled; he
knew that Kind of oratory could not
last, and that he had little TO fear.
At length the young orator began TO
stumble; his sentences became ineo-
horent; the thread of his argument
grew disconnected, confused; and In
loss than ten minutes he broke down
altogether. -
Dufaure was generous enough to
move postpnnement OF the trial until
jambetta could collect his thoughts.
lnis was done, aud the discounted
| young advocate left the scene OF his
| failure in a very unenviable frame Of
| mind.
| fortunately for Gambetta there was
present an old lawyer, who proved him
self true friend, and gave him some
wholesome advice. Fortunately, too

tllat might enable him to recoyer los

OUTSIDE BRITISH ISTEsTHESTs.
A Total of SIS, 900, 900, 900 is an Under
estimate Of 1t. ~

Engineering Recori.
An interesting though conjectural
estimate of the amount Of British capt.
tai invested outside Great Britain is
given in the London StlttSt, from which
the EUeRihg Post extracts the following
facts: Last year tho value of the im-
ports into tie. United Kingdom ea-
coeded the valde Of the exports by
El34 100000. The British vessels enter
ing and clearing with cargoes during
the year measured about So, 000, 600 tons,
which ut los. per ton would represent
earnings OF G25,000,000; to this should
be added the earnings of English ships
which did not touch at English ports;
also the commissions and assurances,
amounting in all to f40,000,000. The
foreign and colonial borrowings during
the year amounted To ESQ, 600, 900, while
advance orders for machinery, &C.,
would amount to G6,000,000 more,
Adding f36, 100000 TO the f134 100000
excess of imports and deducting the
E40, 100000 referring to the shipping,
we have as Il remainder fi30,000, 600.
Large amounts of capital invested
abroad were brought home to London,
but these Withdrawals were offset, the
writer thinks, by the interest which
became dne in 1894, but which the Eng
ish capitalists did not receive because
of default. Next, the net imports OF
coin and bullion of all kinds amounted
to flO,000,00o, making the total assumed
receipts on capital invested abroad
fl40,O0O,00o Capitalized at 5 per cent,
this sum would represent an Investment
of British capital outside Great Britain
amounting to nearly 5000 millions ster-
ling, or is billions of dollars, which
probably UNDERSTANDS the real amount.
