A FAMOUS MULBERRY TREE.
Planted by Milton In Christ's College Gar
dens, Cambridge.


In the gardens Of Christ's college,
Cambridge, stands venerable mulberry
tree which, tradition says, was planted
by Milton during the time when he was
a student at the university. This would
be between the years 1924 and 1862,
for the following copy, from the Latin
of his entry of admission, accurately
fixes the former date, and his admission
TO the degree of NJ. A., to which he pro-
ceeded III the latter year, ended his in
innate connection with the university:
John Milton, native of London. son
of John Milton. was initiated III the
elements of letters under Mr. Gill, mas
ter Of St. Paul's school: was admitted
q lesser pensioner Feb. II, 1924, under
Mr.. Chappell and paid entrance fee,
l0s" He was then 16 years and 2
months old
The tree SO intimately associated
with his name is now much decayed,
but in order to preserve it as much as
possible from the ravages Of time many
of the branches have been covered with
sheet lead and are further supported By
stout wooden props, while the trunk has
been buried in mound of earth. The
luxuriance of the foliage and the crop
of fruit which it annually bears are
proof of its vitality, but to insure
against accidents and perpetuate the
tree an offshoot has been planted close
by. In the event of a bough breaking
and falling it is divided with even JUS
/ tice among the fellows of the college,
and many pieces are thus preserved as
mementos of the poet. 1t was during
his residence at Cambridge that he com
posed his ode, "On the Morning OF
Christ's Nativity" "Lyeidas. y too, is
intimately connected with Millions life
at the university, since it was written
in memory of Edward King, his college
friend and contemporary, with whom
he doubtless shared the same rooms.
In those days students did not, al
now, occupy separate apartments, al
witness the original statutes Of the col
lege, "In which chambers our wish Ii
that the fellows sleep two and two, bu
the scholars four and four, in conse
uuence Of which much closer intimacy
was formed among them than IS nov
possible. DIR. Johnson relates that Mil
ton was fo2ged at Cambridge, but th
fact is doubtful though there is reasol
to suppose that he had differences witt
the authorities in the earlier rart Of hi
college career, since he was transferre'
from his original tutor. This tree !

til recent years especially marked by
bough Of mistletoe growing upon it.

THINKING ALOUD.
A Ruse Which Reused Lord Dudley and
Formed Friendship.

One of the earls of Dudley, who was
addicted to the practice Of thinking
aloud, found himself in very awkward
predicament On certain occasion, ii
story told of him may be credited. He
was to spend the evening at the house
Of a friend and ordered his carriage
early, as he had a long drive back to his
own home.
When the hour arrived, the carriage
was not forthcoming Seeing that Lord
Dudley was considerably annoyed by
the delay, one Of the guests, whose way
homeward lay past his lordship' house,
politely offered him a seat IN his car
riage. The gentleman was almost a
stranger to Lord Dudley, but the offer
was accepted.
The drive did not prove very So
ciable one. Lord Dudley took his seat
and Immediately relapsed into silence,
his thoughts apparently engrossed by
some unpleasant subject. Presently he
began to speak in low, but distinctly
audible tone of voice, and his compan-
len, TO his astonishment, heard him say ::
I'm very sorry l accepted his offer.
don't know the man. 1t was civil GER
tainly, but the worst is l suppose l
must ask him to dinner. =
Silence followed this bit Of audible
thinking His lordship was unaware
that he had betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon the
same unpleasant subject when the voice
of his companion broke the stiffness.
Apparently this stranger was afflicted
with the sane malady from which his
lordship suffered, for he exactly inlitat-
ed Lord Dudley's tone as be said:
! perhaps he'll think did it TO make
his acquaintance. Why. | would have
done the same to any farmer ca hi:
estate. I hope he won't ask me to din
ner, fer | shan't accept his invitation. .
Lord Dudley's abstraction was al
gone. He listened to the others words
Immediately eomprehending the jok'
against himself, and frankly offered hi
hand to his companion, making man,
apologies for his involuntary rudeness
The stranger proved magnanimous
and from that night the two becam
fast friends. Youths Companion.

Dr. Max Muller relates that the late
queen Of Holland frequently came to
England ard was fond Of meeting while
there distinguished literary people. On
one occasion she luucbed with Dean
Stanley and asked him to invite several
literary men, among whom were Tenny-
son, Lord 1oughton, HUXLEY and Max
Muller himself.
Luncheon was ready, and everybody
had co,nc to the deanery except Tenny-
son. Dean Stanley suggested that the
party should wait 10 longer, but the
queen refused to sit down before the
laureatos arrival There was another
period Of waiting, painful to all the
company.
Finally some one suggested that prob
ably Tennyaon was incoming about IN
the cloisters somewhere. one was sent
to see, and the Ioet was indeed found
there, apparently oblivious that any.
thing was going on. He was brought in
and placed at the table next the queen
of the Netherlands.
The queen took the conversation into
her own hands and i'll particular tried
to draw Ternyson out. He was not in
talking mood. She addressed him q
question.

Then there was another question.
''No, ma am, came from Tennyson.
Again she asked his opinion about
something. The question was not sus-
| ceptible of answer by Yes or No F"
"Ma a'am, said Tennyson after a
great effort, "there is great deal to be
said on both sides of the question. /"
Presently he turned and whispered 70

toward the disposition of the war revenue
measure although 1t was under consider
alton for three hours
Speeches were delivered on the bill by
Mr. White of California and Mr.. Teller OF

an amendment was to be offered to the
bill by Mr.. German, Dem. of Maryland,
placing a tax of one-half of l per cent.

The reason for the proposed adoption of
knickerbockers by the army In Cuba is
that they will be better suited for use in
the hotter climate. Because of the dense
underground in Cuba it would be necessary
to wear leggings even if long trousers
were used The combination Of legginCs

Remains Placed in Position for Ly-

London, May 26.-Mr. Gladstone's re-
mains arrived at Westminster, London,
al l O'Clock this morning, accompanied by
Herbert and Henry Gladstone. A group
of thirty or forty gentlemen, who are con-
nected with the ceremonies, including the
Duke of Norfolk, awaited the arrival of
the train at the platform, and conducted
the transfer of the body to Westminster
Hall. The coffin has been placed in Losi-
ton for lying in state. This was done
about o'clock this morning, when Canon

in the presence of Henry and Herbert
Gladstone and several members of the
House of Commons
Remarkably impressive scenes have
been witnessed at Westminster since 2
o'clock this morning, when the arrivals
commenced of those anxious to view the
remains of Mr.. Gladstone. The line was
continually augmented by all classes of
people from peers, peernesses, cabinet
ministers members of the House of Com
mons military and naval officers and
clergymen, to costermongers, old and
young, until at 6 o'clock, when the doors
were opened, the procession commenced to
stream past the catafalque. The latter
had lighted candles a each corner and a
large gilt cross at its head.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the LIB
era leader in the House of Commons, who
arrived at noon, was greatly moved. Two
thousand policemen were engaged in guild
