Tannyeon's Interview with the ‘Queen.
It was in the latter part of 1863, the
yoar after thedeath of the prinos consort,
that 1 -was conversing with Mrs. Tenny
son on the sudden death of & much val
usd common friend and the lomeliness of
his widow, when Tennysom, who had
been stalkingnp and down the end of
the bow windowed drawing room with
his usual long strides, snddenly broke in
with, ““1 saw :another widow three days
ago.” “Indeed,” 1 replied, “and who
was that?’ “The queen,” he weplied in
his deepest tones. ‘““She sent ifor me to
Osborpe.” I:said that I supposed her
majesty wished to thank him for his
noble tribute ito the memory of the
prince consort, and with perhaps par-
Jdonable curiosity went on to :ask what
the queen had said to him. “] can't re
member,” he answered; I lost my head.
1 only remember what I said to the
queen—big fool that I was!”
«What was that?” “Why, what an
excellent king Prince Albert would have
made. As soon as it was out of my
mouthl felt what a blunder I had made.
But bappily it proved to be the very
right thing to have gsaid. The:queen re
plied that that had been the constant
sorrow.of her life—that she was called
te govern, while he who was so worthy
of the first place was obliged.to take &
sepondary positien.” Tennyson had lit
tle more to say @f his reception except
that, notwithstanding the perfect calm
ness and.self restraint of the gneen, and
the sweet.consideration she manifested
for him, the interview was a peculiarly
trying one, and he was glad when it
was over.—Canon Venables in London
Times.
v Gratitode Toward Great Men.
We are told regularly—periodically
told—that the eminent politician earns
his country’s gratitude. We have much
to be thankful for, we little ones, but
we have indeed cause to be truly thank
ful that we are not destined to earnsuch
gratitude as that. Hew many politi
«cians, say, during the past century may
e said to have earned their country’s
gratitude? How many out of the great
multitude of politicians? Is there oner
Is there one man of whom his countrv
men are willing to say, with an evca
pearly unanimous voice, “We owe that
man our heartfelt gratitude; it is his;
we give it him.” K As they sometimes
cry in the arena of bis former struggles=
«Name! Namel”
Doubtless every mand ack of those ¢x
tinct eminent politicians—for extinct
they are as the dodo, to all practical in
tents and purposes—has his followers as
he had them then. And equally true it
is that be has his opponents, quite in the
good old way. What sort of gratitude
is it which consists in being set up by
one set of men for another set of men to
knock you down? Those eminent poli
ticians have handed on their wrangles
to our eminent politicians, We are
wrangling just on the same old lines.
If we look deeply into the matter we
shall begin to doubt if we have advanced
much farther than they did. We are
making the same old plunges in the
game . old lucky bag.—All the Year

The Hardest Work of All |
Few poets had more admirers among.
women than Whittier had, and this ad
miration frequently touk personal form.
One day his sister, in her slow, Quaker |
fashion, was describing these eruptions:
«Thee hast no idea,” she said, “‘of the
time Greenleaf spends in trying to lose “
these people on the streets. Sometimes
he comips home and says. ‘Well, sister, I
had hard work to lose him, but [ have
Jost him."” To this Whittier -pathetic
sily addsd, “But I can never lose aher.”

~ Monstrous Foree of Tornadoes, |
Much has been said about electricity
a 8 a factor for destructiveness in the va
rious gyrating storm clords known as |
cyclones, drechoes and tornadoes., In
all of this voluminous maza of =0 called
scientific opinions and deduotions one
fact seems to have bsen enfiraly over
looked—visn., the almost resistises foree
of wind whea moviag with kigh ve
locity. Whem the velosity is but fifiy
miles am hour the pressure of air in mo
tiom is equsl te twelve powmds te the
square foot, and when this velocivy rises
too 100 miles per hour i feree riwes to
the equivalent of 9.3 pounds be the
square foot, the augmentation of force
being always propertional to the square
of the velocity.
It needs no further elaboration or am
plification of this statement to convey
to the intelligent reader an idea of the
monstrous mechanical force which such
a rapid traveling mass of air must hav:
—a power great enough to tear dowwn
any structurs that has yet been built by
man, or to uproot whole forests of the
largest trees now growing on the sur
face of the earth.—St. Louis Republic.
The Man Who Really Enjoys Life.
To no man is the world so new and
‘the future so fresh as to him who has
gpent the early years of his manhood in
striving to understand the deeper prob
lems of science and life and who has
made eome headway toward compre
hending them, To him the commonest
things are rare and wonderful, both in
themselves and as parts of a beautiful
and intelligent whole. Such a thing as
staleness in life and its duties he cannot
understand.
Knowledge ia always opening out be
fore him im wider expanses and more
commanding heights. The pleasure of
yrowing knowledge and increasing
power makes every year of his life hap
%ier-d-onhopetul than the last.—

‘The Baereacshing Lake. |
Ome of the humorously attractive
characteristics of a ¢hild is his large
sense of persomsl impertance. A little
girl was walking vrith her father on the
shore of Lake Miehigan, where the
waves were geatly lappiag up om the
beach. Buddenly one came up higher
than the others .n? swept over her foot,
when she exclaimed, ‘‘Oh, papa, the
lake stepped om my toe.”—New York

“When I used to travel about the
country lecturing,” said s retired tem
perance talker, “I carried with me as
frightful example @ man with a brilliant
red nose, and during my remarks I weuld
call upon him for testimony. On one
occasion we struck a small town whers
we had an audience of about a hundred
people. I wasmaking fine headway with
my lecture, and at the proper time 1
glanced over the crowd and said, **Will
the gentleman with the red nose please
rise to his feet?” Of course my man got up.
' but before he could do so thirty-seven
| men had risen slowly to their feet, and I
? don’t think I was ever more embarrassed
in my life.”—Toledo Blade.
)\ Man versus Flea.
! A flea can jump stmaight upward and
¢ault over a barrier 500 times its own

agility he could clear a wall a milo high

far forward according to his weight as a
flea can he could make 2} trips around
the world at one leap.—St. Louis Repub
