 Another, though less frequent, visitor to Oxford was Tennyson. His flrst visit to our house was rather alarm ing. We lived in a small house in High street, nearly opposite Mazda len College, and our establishment was not calculated to receive sudden guests, particularly a poet laureate. He stepped in one day during long vacation, when Oxford was almost empty. Wlsh- ing to show the great man all clVll- ity we asked him to dinner that night and breakfast the next morning. At that time almost all the shops were in the market, which closed at l o'clock. My wife a young housekeeper, did her best for our honored guest. He was known to be a gourmand, and at dinner he was evidently put out when he found the sauce with the sal mon was not the one he preferred.
 He was pleased, however, with the wing of a chicken, and said it was the only advantage he got from being poet laureate that he generally received the liver wing of chicken. The next morning at breakfast we had rather plumed ourselves on having been able to get a dish of outlets, and were not a little surprised when our guest ar rived to see him whip off the cover of the hot dish, and to hear the ex- clamation: Mutton chops! the staple of every bad inn in England How ever, these were but minor matters. though not without importance at the

unteers who are quartered at the Fon- tana barracks are putting in their time in daily drill and are becoming quite pro- ficient in the manual of arms and field evolutions. They are very anxious to go to the front, and expect to be sent with the second expedition to Manila. Lieuten- ant Colonel Fife, who is in command of the Washington troops, says that the men are overwhelmed with contributions of edibles from the people of San Francisco, and that the numerous delicacieS, such as cake, pies and so on, are not conducive to the health of the soldiers, who indulge in too many luncheons between meals. Colonel Fife, while appreciating the gen. erosity and attention of San Franciscans in this respect, does not hesitate to say that there is ''too much of a good thing" Hereafter he proposes to have all food contributions placed in the hands of the commissary, who will see that they are properly rationed off to each company and served only al meal time. The only eX- ception will be when delicacies are re- quested to be presented to any particular man. In that event the recipient will at once be given the articles, with instruc- tions not to eat them except at meal hours.

1 time in the eyes of a young wife to whom Tennyson had been like one of l the immortals. He was simply de- lightful, and full of inquiries about the East, more especially about Indian poetry" A later glimpse of Tennyson Is af- forded at lunch given by Dean Stan ley in honor of the late Queen of Hol- land. She had asked that a number of literary men be invited-Tennyson,
 Monckton Mines Iord Houghton), Huxley and several more. We were waiting and waiting, but Tennyson did not appear. Stanley suggested that we should not wait any longer but the Queen refused to sit down before the great poets arrival.
 At last it was suggested that Ten nyson might be incoming about in the Cloisters, and so he was. He was caught and he was placed next to the Queen. The Queen knew wonderfully how to hide her crown and put every body at their ease. She took the. con- versation into her own hands, and kept the ball rolling during the whole lunch con. But she got nothing out Of Ten nyson. He was evidently in low spirits, and sitting next to him I could hear how to every question the Queen ad- dressed to him he answered, Yes, ma'am,' No, ma am, and at last, by great effort 'Ma'am, there is a good deal to be said on both sides of the question: He then turned to me and said in a whisper, but a loud whisper,
 I wish they had put some Of you talk" ing fellows next to Regina.
 Dean Stanley himself, Professor Null Ter records. not only had no love for music but actually suffered from hear ing it. Whenever he could he walked out of the room where there was music. He never disguised his weakness, he never professed any love or admiration for music, and yet Jenny Lind once told Professor Muller that he paid her the highest compliment she had ever re- ceived Stanley was very fond of Jenny Lind, but when she stayed at his fath- CTS palace at Norwich he always left the room when she sang.

GOOD STORIES
 BY MHX MULLER.

ERE are some of the recollec-
 tions of Professor Max Muller,
 the greatest of modern philolo-
 gists, regarding some of the
 celebrated people he has met:
 One of his earliest invitations at Oxford was to meet Thackeray at dinner. The novelist was then writing "Esmond. There were only four in the party We were all very much awed by Thackeray's presence, partic- ularly I, not being able as yet to ex- press myself freely in English. We sat silent for some time, no one ventured to make the first remark, the soup was over. and there was a fine John Dore on the table waiting to be splayed. We were hoping for some brilliant sally from Thackeray, but nothing came.
 "At last Thackeray suddenly turned his large spectacled eyes on me and said: Are you going to eat your own ancestor?' I stared, everybody else stared. At last we gave it up, and Thackeray. looking very grave and learned, said: Surely you are the son of the Dorian Muller-the Muller who wrote that awfully learned book on the Dorians; and was not John Dore the ancestor of all the Dorians?
 There was a general Oh, oh!' but the ice was broken, and no one after this horrible pun was afraid of say ing anything. All I could tell Thack- cray was that l was not the son of Otfried Muller, who wrote on the Do- rians, but of Wilhelm Muller. the poet. who wrote Die Homerische Vor-
