Miss Noble Tells Several During Her
Lecture on the Poet.

At Plymouth Church last night, under the
auspices of the McCulloch Club, Miss Har-
riet Noble gave lecture on the life and
work of Tennyson, illustrating the talk with
stereopticon views that were enjoyed by
those In attendance. In speaking of the
personality of Tennyson and the character
istic that endeared him to the hearts Of all,
Miss Noble spoke of the poets love for hui
man nature. He was interested in society
at large, and he cared for the simple folk.
1t was his common practice to sit in SYM
pathetic conversation with the peasants. He
was pleased to encourage modest young
writer's, not, perhaps, promising them any
degree Of fame, but encouraging them in
writing for themselves. He liked almost
any sort of person that seemed to him gen.
uine. The conventional. pretentious person
he could not talk with. Miss Noble also
talked of the keen appreciation of humor
which the poet possessed. On one occasion,
when he felt that his hostess was trying
to show him off as lion, he talked of moth
ing but beer the whole evening The lee
turer recalled a recent story Of Tennyson
and one of his neighbors. The neighbor was
Mrs. Cameron, of Photographic fame, who
had some American friends visiting her.
One day they went to call on Tennyson, and
came back crestfallen at having been re-
fused admittance to his home, where really
they had no claim. Mrs. Cameron picked
up a wrap and went back to Tennyson's
house with them. She was even more un-
conventional than Tennyson Alfred" said
she, these three friends of mine from
across the sea called on you and you would
not receive them. They came to see a lion
and they found a bear" Tennyson laughed,
came forward and made himself entertain
ing.
THE one great fly in Mr.. Tennyson's pot
of ointment" said Miss Noble, was that

THE v. Nj. G. A. AND THE ARMY.
The One Helps to Free the other from
DemOraIixing Influences.
Shaw, in Review Of Reviews.

Albert Shaw, in Review of Reviews
The very best thing about our soldiers
In the recent war has been the fact that
they have shown the plucky, high-spirited,
independent qualities that characterize our
young American manhood. Now that 1t is
certain that we must maintain a larger
army than before the war, 1t ought to be
resolved by the people of the United States
that army service shall be rendered as free
as possible from demoralzing tendencies.
While our enlisted young men gain the dis
cipline Of the trained soldier, they ought 10
lose none Of the high sentiments and ideals
that they brought with them from their
homes. Our regulars who fought so well at
Santiago have deserved better of the coun-
try in the past than they have received.
They have, In fact, been a good deal neg
lected. Henceforth the good people OF the
country should see that the troops whether
with reading matter and are encourages
in every way possible to maintain their self
ppec Se Ine snd eond W wh
more self-restraint when they understand
that the people of the country value them
are proud of them and are disposed to treat
them with due consideration.
The war of 1898 has not been one OF great
bloodshed, but 1t leaves us under the necoD-
sity of regularly maintaining relatively
large fighting force. In this period of peace
we shall be readily able to dispense with the
services OF the Red Cross Society sas relief Esd
alienation of physical suffering. But we
shall need more than ever to maintain the
army and navy work of the Young Mems
Christian Association for the sake of Its
moral social and educational influence In
the army, and also as the most effective sort
of a volunteer agency which should keep
the churches and the community in closer
touch with the army. 1t Is certainly desir-
able that large bodies of soldiers sent TO
the remote camps should be attended by at
least one agency or organization that IS vol
untary in its nature and represents civil life
in order that the life and ways OF the army
may not become too remote from those OF
the people at home, and also that the COM
mon soldier, who would otherwise be abso-
lutely at the mercy OF his commissioned SUE
periors, should have an outside and disin-
terested witness ready at hand as TO his
ence of such organization as the Young
Mems Christian Association does not SUD-
vert military discipline, and It must GER
tainly tend to diminish at all points the
abuses and the evils of army life.

THE PAPYRUS PLANT.

A Fine Specimen in Bushnell Park.
 Among other attractions of the water garden in Bushnell park is thrifty and well-grown plant of the papyrus antiquaria, or the paper plant used by the ancient Egyptians in making the paper upon which they wrote their books and scrolls. It is at the north west corner of the pnd, just beyond the great bed of lotus, and is in itself an attractive plant were it not for the associations connected with it. It grows from the water about four feet high and has a long, reed-like stem crowned with a bunch of fine spikes, not unlike bunch of pine needles ex- cept that they are more open and airy. It is bright green, and is handsome plant, willowy and airy. The paper making portion of the plant is at the base of the stems and is the brown shield or support for them. It was from successive layers of these shields spread out and matted together that the Egyptians made the most famous of all the paper since the history of the world began. The plant was pre- scented to the park by William B. May, gardener for the Rev. Francis Goo1- win. It is the second plant that has been placed in the park pond, the first one dying The papyrus is rare plant in this country and travellers in Egypt report that it is not found in great pro- fusion at the present time on the Nile.
