IRIS thought that Governor Pin
gree's leap into the Democratic party
is something Of q boomerang among
the Republicans Of Michigan. The
Governor is evidently man of much
personal magnetism, and, it is said,
has o following sufficient to eqpal the
difference between Democratic and
Republican strength in Michigan;
and, as it issupposed he will influence
that following by his own political
attachments, his desertion Of the Re-
publiean party is looked upon as 8
more serious matter shan the Repub-
liear newspapers affect to regard it.

TENNYSON'S FAITH.

The Problem of the Future Life HaA
 the Dominant Interest.
 A reader of the Life of Tennyson, by his son, will be struck by tho fact that no subject interested him 50 deep- ly as the problem of the future life. He will also observe that it was always problem to him, one that he was con- stantly raising, that would not stay set. tied. To be sure he was believer in immortality, but not restful believer. He was all the time digging up tho roots of his faith to be sure they were alive. The old question would not stay unanswered. The reader of his poetry observes the same thing. He is always on the side of faith, but of somewhat disturbed faith He belonged to that metaphysical society" which invited into its membership believers of all shades, with all shades of unbelievers, whose object was to raise and answer doubts about God and the future life. He was the spokesman of the scientific doubt of the age futtering over the dovecots of faith, but hardly sattling and resting and nesting therein.
 One observes the contrast with this huttering faith who reads the poeaAs of Milton. with their abiding faith in the future life. This is the spiritual con- trast between "In Memoriam" and "Lycidas. In Milton's requiem, even under its organized form, there is TO- bust and jubilant faith in God and eternal life No question enters. Tho mind and heart are satisfied The dear friend is beyond all doubt among the saints and ohoirs above One regrets that Tennyson' mental structure per haps could find positiveness and rest on questions of politics or poetry, but must perennially dubitate-to be sure. with the hopeful balance of probability lover questions of faith.

Hilbert Culture In Italy.

It will surprise many to hear that in certain districts of Italy the Albert crop rivals the produce of the vine in com mercial importance. These delicious nuts are grown on bushes or shrubs, which are arranged in groups that are from 15 to 90 feet apart so as to insure the access of plenty of light and air They thrive best in deep, clayey soil. and the planting takes place during November and December of slips from the mother plant Seeds could be used, but the growth would be too slow to be profitable. As it is. the shrubs do not bear fruit until the third year, any blossoms appearing before that time be- ing removed. so that the plant shall not be impoverished. The plants are periodically pruned. when any slips which have failed to sprout are removed and replaced by others; SO that there are plantations which remain iu full growth although nearly 100 years old. The Albert is not subject to the diseases common to other crops. but 1t suffers severely from hailstones and from cold winds
