IN TENNYSON'S HONOR
Centenary of Famous Poet
Is Celebrated. =
HUMOROUS FLASHES RELATED
Waiting for Some Lovely Thought

stays Crenlzed," md FIed-Hia Ex-
perience with Henry Irving.

London, Aug. 1.-THE Tennyson centen-
AIRY. which England celebrated last week.
has set people recalling the man as wen
as the poet-the rather gruf and formi-
dable man whose manner with curious
strangers was by no means gentle and
pleasant
Once a young woman who had been just
introduced to the great man at Fresh
water was left alone with him on the sea-
shore. She stood in immense awe Of the
poet and therefore did not interrupt him
as he sat speeches., gazing straight
ahead of him at the sea
The long silence was broken at last in
an astonishing manner by Tennyson He
was going to open his lips and utter some
lovely thought the young woman mag
ined. Instead he opened them and in
gruff and gloomy tones gave voice to this
remark:
You creak."
Girl Was HOrrihed.
The girl started back in horror. Ten
nyson added as explanation:
You creak. Your stays creak."
This so startled the young woman that
she ran away and went indoors. where a
large company. she found, was gathered
together over tea. In a little time Ten
nyson appeared. a vague expression on
his countenance. as though something
had gone wrong with him. The girl. now
accounting him possibly mad, and GER
tainly impolite. tried hard to hide away
from him.
In vain. His eagle eye found her out.
He threaded his way among the other
guests toward her. took her hand. and
said in resonant tones before the whole
company Of them:
at Was My Braces"
My dear. beg your pardon. I find it
was my braces"
The feelings Of the young woman and
the establishment Of the guests may be
left to the Imagination.
once Irving was discussing a play with
the poet and ordered a bottle of port to
help in the discussion. .Tennyson drank
glass after glass until the bottle was fin
ished ard then turned reproachfully 10
the actor and said:
Irving. how fond you are of port"
At Aldworth an American woman once
penetrated into his garden and was graft
fed TO observe the poet walking up and
down. apparently in the agonies of COM
position. Suddenly he stopped and gazed
with vacant expression at a bed of let
tuce- His lips began 20 move. and his
still hidden admireT whipped out her note

the masters mouth. What he actually

KING IS ON VACATION
English Monarch Resting at
Marienbad.
HIS SEASON WAS STRENUOUS
Made Round of Official Visits In Ad-
ditiOn To His State Functions and
Social Duties, and Gains In Popu-
Iarity with HIS Subjeets-Made
Fourteen Weekend Visits.

London, Aug. liking Edward is en-
joying much-needed rest at Marienbad

has fulfilled an unusual number OF en-
sagements in London and the provinces
Cheered at EPSON.
In Lancashire. Gloucester. and Blrming-
ham many Of his subjects saw him for
the first time since he has been King Of
England At Epson a tremendous crowd
cheered his victory in the Derby race and
at Wellington and Rugby schoolboys
heard him speak on the duties of citizen
ship. He has opened museums, reviewed
artillery companies and boys brigades.
Inspected hospitals. and attended many
dedication ceremonies.
AS to the state functions Of the season.
t. is impossible to do more than hint at
them. There were the usual levees, in
vesutures. receptions. and balls, and in
addition the press delegates from the col
onies and a delegation from the Turkish
imperial Parliament were entertained.
With all this the King did not omit visits
To his friends.
Enjoys the Opera.
He made fourteen weekend visits to
country houses, three Of them 10 Amerl-
cans. Lady Paget. the Whitelaw Reds,
and Mrs. Lewis Harcourt having been
among his entertainers. He dined with
many Of his friends In London also, and
found time TO appear at the opera at Co
vent Garden seven times and the theaters
nine times, which included the matinee
performance OF His Borrowed Plumes,"
by Mrs. CORVALLIS West. He attended
two fashionable weddings and countless
bridge parties. besides gala days at the
korse show and other public affairs.
Now after this whirl Of business and
pleasure the King IS leading the simple
life at Marienbad, rising at s O'Clock to
drink the waters while walking to the
self course, after breakfast giving three
hours to correspondence and state mat

English and American Education.

Americans educate the mass, while
we have always educated the leaders.
In England-democracy asserting to
the method-we make a point Of
specially encouraging the promising
pupils; We build ladders" for them,
and we believe that our Indifference
to the question OF what class of society
they may come from is sufficient proof
of u genuinely democratic habit Of
mind. 1t has been the immemorial
practice of England to train leaders
for the nation. This was done when
most citizens were receiving no edu.
cation at all. Americans rather con.
centrate their attention on the ruck.
The exceptional boy or girl, it is
thought, will rise in any case. The i'm
portant thing to do is to advance the
average Of Standardization Spec.

CROOK HOUSE SOLD CHEAP.
United States Government Gets $50
for Building That Had Cost the
People 10000.

"A 10000 house was sold at Fort
Whlpple, IA Prescott, a few days ago
for $780," said George II. Morgan, a
lawyer Of Prescott, Ariz. ut was
known as the old Gen. Crook house,
and was owned by the government.
Gen. Crook occupied the house for sew
eral months, and II was on Just such a
windy day as that of the sale that Gen.
Crook rode away from the house in
March, 1885.
THE building was a ~nondescript
style of architecture, constructed of
stucco, adobe and frame. 1t was roomy
and comfortable, with lofty ceilings
and bay windows, through which could
be seen the snow.covered peaks OF the
mountains on one side and Thumb
Butte and the city of Prescott on the
other. The house contained more than
10000 feet of lumber, and among other
modern c~onveniences 1t had two bath
tubs.
while Gen. Crook was the occupant
of the house he was engaged in a long
n difficult campaign against the In
dians. The old building Is still well
preserved. When the auctioneer an
nounced the sale the bidding started at
$50, and this figure was raised from
time to time, until it reached $3.50, at
which sum it vas knocked down to the
proprietor of a hotel. What the pur-
chaser proposes to do with the house
| don't know, but he was told that 1t
must be removed shortly, as the gov
eminent would no longer be respon-
sible for its safety.
THE house cost probably more than
$4,000. Every foot of lumber in 1t
was freighted from Los Angeles at a
cost of ten cents a pound. 1t was con
siderably enlarged after Gen. Crook
left 1t. The latter's successor, Gen.
Kautz, lived in it for a long time, but 1t
has not been occupied for a number of
years. At the time of it's construction
a guard of soldiers had to patrol the
vicinity constantly Il keep away the
Indians. There was not a person at
the sale who did not express regret
hat the government should not allow
the old house to remain"

Use of Salt,

Salt in moderate quantities is good
for everybody. 1t aids digestion. and,
better still, it makes one thirsty. If
We eat plenty of salt and salty foods
we will drink more water, and most
people do not drink enough water.
Try eating a raw apple sprinkled with
salt. 1t is very good. particularly
good for children. Pepper, on the 9TH
er hand, and spices should not be
given to children. unless in the most
meager quantities. At many Of the
sanitariums the food is not seasoned
at all, except with salt.

Specialization in Science.

The pitch to which specialization is
carried nowadays even in such a field
as scientific investigation is illustrated
by the foundation in Vienna of an in.
stitution to be wholly devoted to the
study of radium. The buildings, which
are o under construction and will
be ready next spring, stand on the
Wahringstrasse, next to those of the
new Institute Of Physics. They are
the property of the Vienna Academy
of Sciences, which has contributed
half a million kroner toward the in
sta,lation.

We had dinner out doors on the
piazza. While it was going on the
grown-ups didn't do much talking. It's
precious little fun trying to talk
against a typhoon and an earthquake
mixed, and that's what them Fresh
Air young ones turned that meal into.
Twas "Hurrah boys! Stand from un-
der!" from the beginning. When l

quets. They didn't fire 'em at me, you
that's looking on at the row who gets
hit. Redny was cap'n Of the gun crew.
He could chuck a potato skin with his
left hand and eat with his right and
look pious and shocked all at the same
time.
When the juniors was filled up-and
1t want no SLOUGH of a job to get 'em
flled-they went off to start a riot
somewheres else and the Twins and
the girls had a chance. Van got to
telling about Scudder's presents, and he
was funny as usual. That Margaret Tai
ford would laugh until l had to join in
just out of sympathy, even though l
was up to my eyes in %soapsuds and
dishwashing. She was a jolly girl,
that one; pretty and full of snap
and go.
Nothing would do but them pres.
ents" must go on exhibition. So Van
logged 'em down from James room
and lined 'em up on the piazza for in
spection. He took a stick for a pointer
and gave a lecture about 'em, same
as If they was a panorama, pointing
out what he called the feeling" and
atmosphere" of the shell basket and
the perspective of Marcellus in the
crayon enlargement. He had a good
time and so did everybody else. espe-
cially Miss Talford.
BY and by she clapped her hands.
"Oh!" says she, I've got an idea. Did

James? Won't Martin here door

But the Talford girl laughed and
said he wouldn't do at all. He lacked
dignity, she said, and didn't look the
part. She asked Miss Page II she
really didn't think that James would
be just tho man for them. Agnes said
perhaps be would. So the four of EN-

In this age of advanced farming the

most economical building is the one
SO constructed that 1t will preserve
the greatest amount of ice in proper
tion to the amount Of ice stored. Waste
in an icehouse is largely caused by
meltage from the top, sides and bot
tom. In properly constructed ice
house and when the ice is properly
packed and cared for no waste should
take place from the inside Of the pile
Of ice. The melting from the sides,
bottom and top is caused by insult
cient insulation.
To insulate to such an extent that
no meltage would take place would
be impracticable, but with q thorough

understanding of the construction Of
an icehouse a minimum amount Of
meltage can be obtained. The waste
from the bottom is generally consid-
cred to be the greatest. The amount
Of ice melted in the bottom of the ice
house varies from one to six feet dur
ing the year, depending upon the con-
struction of the floor. If the icehouse
Is provided with an air tight door, with
the ice laid on at least eighteen inches
Of dry sawdust, the bottom waste rare

year. On the other hand, il the ice is

The side and top meltage Is not so
great, but it frequently ranges from
one to three feet. depending upon the
insulation. The manner OF insulation
is shown in the cut Of cross section

The icehouse should be located in
the coolest place possible and always
above ground. The size Of the build
ing must be determined by the amount
