TENNYSON’S MOODS. Eccentric Manner In Whloh the Poet Received Some Visitors. It was an eccentric reception thnt Blr Henry Roseo was given when he visited Lord Tennyson. The former had been unwilling to Intrude on the poet, but consented to accompany n friend, William Summers, who had a note of introduction from Sir Lewis Morris. They found Tennyson at lunch. Sir Henry writes of It: "Ten nyson at once asked me to sit by hint, while Mr. Summers was held In con versation nt the other side of the room , by Lady Tennyson. The old man be gan with the words, 'Your name has been before me at every meal,’ at which I expressed great astonishment, not Blinking thnt he hud eAtr heard of me. "And thereupon he produced a small vial containing saccharin, on the out side of which was an advertisement containing a few lines of some uppre- clntory remarks respecting saccharin which I had made in a lecture at the Koyal Institute. This notice I had never seen, and on my return home I wrote to the proprietors requesting them to stop issuing such notices, us I could not have my name used for ad vertising purposes, nnd this they did. "In n few minutes, without further conversation, Tennyson rose and said: 'Well, I must bid you goodby, for I must now He down. I nin going to smoke a cigar and go to sleep.’ Upon which he walked out of the room, giv ing a distant nod to my disconsolate friend, Will Summers, who hurt come on purpose to Interview the poet, but with whom lie had not exchanged a single word." FIGHTING THE SEA. Holland*n Contfnnoan Performance In Preventing Flood*. Hollauil is a country of wooden piles nnd dikes, for the people are perpetu ally fighting against the encroach ments of water. One building I11 Am sterdam rests on no fewer than 13,059 piles, though the dikes nround the town, which have been erected at enor mous expense, effeetunllj^.revent any chance of a floo^. The streets of the flourishing port of Rotterdam even nre frequently under water In the winter, and In some parts of south Holland the people are compelled to do their shopping In boats. When the Zuyder Zee breaks on to the land, those who wade up to their knees along the streets of a flooded village meet all manner of fish. This Is explained by tlie fact that the Zuy der Zee, with Its mud bottom, Is liter ally crammed with finny tribe*; and one authority states that if It were well scraped of all Its fish one year, it would be full ngnln the next. The land of Holluml Is really of four distinct levels, and from ten to twelve feet between the highest nnd the low est. To make the land dry, the water Is pumped from the lowest level to tlu> one Immediately above It, nnd so on, until tlie water has been returned agnln to the sen. A large number of engineers are specially engaged to look after the dikes, nnd no less n sum than $2,500,000 Is expended every year in keeping these fortifications against the sea In proper repair. SOFT CRABS. MATCHES ON MAIL BOXES. Tl>« Print Hutch Girl. The etiquette of Holland Is exceeding ly strict In all classes. The young girl Is most carefully chaperoned, and she never goes anywhere, even to church, unless accompanied by her parents, some male relative or other equally trusted attendant.

That's about what the mall carrier told tba fellow who Is handing you this advice. It was given Just after the adviser had stopped, feeling "smoky" after coming out of an office where they wouldn't let him puff the atogle he had in hla pocket, to scratch a match on the mall box. He was rattier surprised when the mall carrier, coming up to unlock the box, said: "Don’t do that!” “Why not?” he queried. ‘T’ve been doing It for years. It doesn’t hurt the box. Other fellows and myeelf bare scratched matches on the top of this mall box for years, and there Is only a little worn patch on the metal to show for It.” "Well, go ahead If you want to,” sighed the mall carrier.

The supply of soft crabs for market , la obtained by catching hard crabs and keeping them until they shed their shells. For this purpose large rec tangular floats, mode of luths and plnnklng, are employed, and three or four times every day the Ntock on hand Is carefully inspected, all the soft crabs being picked out and packed without delay. They are put Into'shal- low boxes of tnolst seaweed, from ten to thirty-five dozen In a box, according to the size of tlie animals. When the packing Is done carefully the occu pants may lie kept alive from sixty to seventy hours after leaving the water. Crabs have been shipped all the way from the Chesapeake to Canada, arriv ing at their destination In good condi tion. In summer, of course, Ice Is used. But where soft era lie nre concerned It Is necessary that they shall ranch the market quickly, because their new shells harden with great rapidity.
