LEWIS CARROLL.
Two Widely Different Pereonatitta® Wmp
° |w<l Up In <>ts® Mm.
In St Nicholas Ibero arc tw J tribute® to
the late Rev. Charles Lutwidgo Dodgwn,
Jaar to a KoncraUon of young reader® os
Ix>wis Carroll, author of “Al co In Won
derland.’’ An editorial note says:
Surely two name® represent two very
different men—one an EnglU.i clergyman
and for 26 yean lecturer on mathematic®
at Christ Church college, Oxford, author
of many volume® on his special subject,
honored by his fellows, and peer of Eng
land’s distinguished men of learning; the
other tho merriest, quaintest of story tell
ers. whose name is known everywhere by
thousands of English speaking readers
young and old.
Dear Lewie Carroll, bright, delightful,
preposterous, gifted* with a wonderful
imagination, yet so modest and shy that
be told almost in a whisper tho story of
“Alice In Wonderland" that made all
England shake with laughter. “Through
tho Looking Glass’’ was issued, one may
any, as a profound public W'eret, and bo
sent bashfully, secretly, into tho world
.“The Hunting of the Snark,’’ one of tho
joiliest, most audacious little books ever
written. To tho very last their author
shrank from any mention of these delight
ful works as though they were an offense
to his other self —that profound, serious
scholar whoso discourses, lectures and be
wildering mathematical problems would
have sent Lewis Carroll scampering into
the first hiding place in Wonderland.
One day, about ten years ago, the writer,
accompanied by a friend, stood in the
large somber study of Mr. Dodgson In
Christ Church college. As woentered the
room we could see at first only the heavy
table, with piles of pamphlets and great
leather volumes upon it, and around it
books, books and more books—ponderous
and worm eaten (wo felt sure they were
worm eaten). Then a slight but stately
figure rose from somewhere in the shadow
behind an open volume. With a nervous
little cough,he cam* forward, bowing so
stiffly and With so slight a show of sur
prised delight ut our coming that for an
instant we felt awed and subdued. Next
we realized that he was bashful, actually
timid! But, later, his gentle voice, his
grave, kindly eyes and bis gracious words
satisfied us that he ' really Was the man
whose genial letter, crossing the seas, had
made us regard him as a friend.
Among other subjects, he spoke pleas
antly of St Nicholas and of young Amer
icans, but when in the most delicate man
ner possible we ventured an allusion to
“Alice In Wonderland” instantly his brow
clouded—there camo a sudden reserve of
manner, a silent, dignified “Spare me!”
that changed the conversation like magic.
We realized that we were speaking to the
Rev. Charles L. Dodgsofi of Oxford uni
versity, England, and not to Lewis Car
roll, author of “Alice’s Adventures” and
“ Through tho Looking Glass. ” Yes, it was
the great thinker —the scholar and mathe
matician —whom we were visiting and
who when our pleasant call was over
solemnly bode us goodby. And there was
no thought of the-March Hare or of Fa
ther William in our minds as we wont
softly down the dark stairway, out into the
sunlight of the grand old quadrangle of
Christ Church college.
And yet, do you know, we felt inwardly
sure that in some brisk jabberwocky way
Mr. Dodgson secretly loved little Alice and
her adventures and at heart was not sor
ry, after all, that he had written them.
Besides the editorial the following poem,
by Abbie Farwell Brown, is printed, dedi
cated to Lewis Carroll:
This was that brave adventurer
Upon an unknown sea,
Who found the far, fair Wonderland—
Bis galleon by an eager band
Os little children featly manned,
All laughing out in glee.
Far, far away his vessel sailed,
Throughout a single night,
Until it reached that magic shore
No man had ever seen before—
Tho children's land for evermore
He gave them as their right.
And since that voyage venturesome
On every night and day
That pilot with a shipful new
Os happy ohildren for his crew—
Os grown up folk a favored few—
Has sailed the Wonderway.
And if upon tomorrow's ship
No pilot should appear,
So many children everywhere
Have learned from him the thoroughfare
To Wonderland, they still will dare
To sail without a fear.
But, oh, their little hearts will ache,
And, oh, their eyes will dim,
And, as the ship sails mile by mile
Each child will sit a little while
And, thinking, will forget to smile—
For sailing without him.
The Original Navel Orange Tree.
Over in the orangery at the agricultural
department Is the parent tree of all the
navel oranges in tho United States. Every
orchard of navel oranges in Florida, Lou
isiana, Colorado, Arizona and California
camo from it. And the shipments of this
kind of fruit from California alone have
reached 10,000 carloads a year. This par
ticular tree, which is still bearing, came
from Bahia, Brazil, bpt is said to be a
native of southern China. William Saun
ders, the horticulturist of the department,
having heard that they had a seedless
orange lai Brazil, sent down for a plant
When it came it was carefully nurtured
and grew with surprising vigor. The sec
ond year, when Mr. Saunders was on his
way to the agricultural department one
morning ho picked up in the gutter back
of the wholesale fruit market on Louisiana
avenue a pocketful of ordinary decayed
oranges. , Ho carried them to his room,
extracted the seeds and planted them in
the hothouse. They produced a bunch of
thrifty little plants, upon which ho graft
ed buds from the Brazilian tree and after
ward sent them to friends in California
and Florida who were engaged in the
orange business. Mr. Saunders thinks
that tho quality of the navel orange is de
teriorating and that there are better grades
of fruit.—Chicago Record.
Connecticut Newspapers.
Ono Connecticut newspaper man has a
way of speaking the names of papers in an
abbreviated style—the Meriden Rep and
the Middletown Trib, for instance. Fol
lowed out, this would lead to some amus
ing abbreviations. There would be the
Norwich Bull and the Norwich Wreck, the
New Haven Pal, the Waterbury Am, the
New Haven Jeer and Coo, the New Britain
Her, the Bridgeport Tell, the Hartford
Coor and the Ansonia Scent. Happily
The Day is exempt.—New Londay Day.
Quito Just.
A writer who perhaps means well sug
gests to Sarah Grand that “The Beth
Book” might be followed by “Tho Thec
ond Beth Book” and “The Nekth Beth
Bock." Thith ith the wortht thuggestion
we have theen lately in regard to booktb.
