Ages of Man and Wife Discussed.
Th.- New York World has otT. n d a prize
for the |M st letter on the wife’s projn'r
age, and the discussion on the subject lias
brought out some very amusing letters.

Another says a man of thirty must have
a great d-al of assurance to expert to
make a young girl happy; he can have
no lov<’ for h< r; has s.n.n too uruch of the
world and should marry a woman near his

LONG TIME LOVERS.
A Romance of tfce War and the Expo
sition Ends in Marriage.
The culrmnatioii of a romantic story oc
curred ii Atlanta a few days ago.
The day succeeding Christmas an elderly,
well-to-do t ntleman entered the Marion
hotel and carefully scanned the register,
lie was not long in finding the name for
which lie was searching. He quickly got
out hi* cards and asked to have one sent to
a certain room. The message came back
for him to wait in tire purler for a few
minute*. To him they s.sm.eil like hours.
While he is supposed to be waiting, toe
r. may learn something about him
and hi* mission.
Some thirty odd years ago the alarm
was given in Jackson, Ml**., that the
yank.' s were coming. Tire confederate
troops wero ordered out ami then began a

up a fi w articles to carry with them. Mil
itary protection was offered to many of
these. Tin re was one family named Hodges
which got ready- to refugee. It fed to the
lot of a young suldii r named H. 1-. Baley
to drive the wagon which carried this fam
ily. Tli< ro was a mother and several chil
dren. All was confusion in tile city. The

ENGLAND’S POET.
Alfred Austin Bas Been Appointed Ten-
nyson’s Successor.
HE IS WELL FITTED FOR THE PLAGE.
lie wa* Appointed Over Several Who Were
Anxious to Have Ihe Honor—Some-
thing of Ilij Career.
Wli >n Tennyson wna gathered unto P.is
muse, it was Alfred Audtin who wrote an
eulogy, which lie aptly called ’'The I’ar -mg
of Merlin.” In the last verse he predicts,
virtually, his own appointment as Tenny
son’s SUC33HS >r w lien he nays: “For ne'er
hath England lacked a voice to sing
• « *>>
A suggestion of the chaste and well pol
ished style of Austin may be obtained
through the following verse*;
“Merlin has gone. Mi rlin the Wizard, who
found
In the Fast’s glimmering tide and hailed
him king—
Arthur, great Uther's son, and so did
sing
The mystic glories of the Table Round
That ever its name, will live so long as
song shall sound.
“Merlin has gone. Merlin who followed the
gleam
And made us follow it, the flying tale.
Os the last tournament, the Holy Grail,
And Arthur’s passing till the enciiantress’s
d ream
Dwells with us still awake, no visionary
theme.

ENGLAND’S NEW POET LAUREATE.
The Queen Passed Morris And Swinburne And Appointed
Alfred Austin.
vole s in England attuned to the r .-’din'- s
required of l*ur<«.-it.<-*. WHlium \\u:.v»n
xvoiild not h.'i.vu re-fused tiie appoininient,
nor would, I take it, llenl.-y, nor .iloiTlaon,
nor Sir Edwiu Arnold, nur any of Uie past
possibilities.
Lord Tennyson's successor is a man well
fit for the lughly regard'd honor ot file
lau eateship. He iw a novelist, a critic, a
journalist and a poet.
The new laureate xvas born near Leeds,
May 3'l, 1535. and was graduated from Hu.
I'niX'-rt ity of London in I".' '. In I'M he ' v - ; '
called to Hie bar 01 Hie Inner Temple, b it
early manifi sted a devotion to tiie mu. , a
and a disinclination fir tiie men prosaM
career of a lawyer. His first volume of
verse appeared in 1 '.l. hearing the title oi
“Tlu' Beason; a Satire."
Upon Hie death of his father, in ISGI, he
left England and went to Italy, whore ho
resided tor a long time, vutying the line ci
his jioeiic writings by conti iLutiot's to
magazines ar.d newspapers. He aiternateti
prose with vers •, and while connected xx ith
The Standard newspaper as a correspond
ent at Rome and in Germany, and While
cinitribulirt ; occasional articles to T iie
Quarterly Review, lie found time to pub
lish a number of Ins best known poems.
Thus, in IS7I, appeared “'the Golden Aw;
a Satire;” In Us 73, “Interludes;” in 1X73,
“Rome or Death” and “The Madonna's
Child,” and in 1X74, “The Tower oi Babel,"
a drama. Other volumes of verse ap
peared during nearly each succeeding
year.
In answer to the charges against Lord
Byron contained in Harriet Beecher
Stowe's xxork entitled "The True Story of
Lord Byron’s life,” Alfred Austin pub
lish'd a x igorous pamphlet in vindication
of tiie great poet’s character. Austin pub
lished three novels —in I'.'X, ''l' ive 1 < ars of
It;" 111 ISG4, “An Artist's Proof,” and in
18<>6, “Won by a Head."
in F 3, in conjunction with Mr. R. J.
Courthope, lie founded The Nat:or.al Re
view and continuid to edit that periodical
until 1X!>1
In ISl‘2 ho published a collected edition
of his poems in six volumes, and since that
time there have appeared “Fortmatus the
Pessimist,” “England's Darling” and n
prose work entitled “The Garden That 1
Love."
I believe that it is generally conceded
that the first mention of poet laureate xxas
with reference to Petrarch. xvlio xvau
crowm d the “laureate poet.” This ex
pression is used by chance. Coxton in 1 H
made mention of “Mayster John Skelton,
late created poet laureate in the I nlversi
ty of Oxcnforde.” He was given the same
honor at Cambridge and signed himself
“Poet* Skelton Laureatus."
Richard 11, it is said, met Gower, a con
temporary of Chaucer, and asked him to
write a nexv book. Gower was a good
natured, long-winded poet, and immediate! .•
did as directed, sulitiU.nu himself the
“king’s laureate;” and ia after years there
was a John Kay (or Caius), who who ad
dressed himself to Edward IV us b>’ s
humble poet laureate.”
The first poet laureate named with pay
was on-» Bernard, or perhaps it was Ber
nyrd, whose first name was Andi w. He
was vtry poor, and Henry VHI is said to
have granted him a pension of £SO until he
could obtain some employment.
These, however, might all bo classified
under the heading of “nondescripts,” for
it <vas with Ben Jonson, who was named
in IS3O, that the title was installed prop
erly. From that time to this tin- poet lau
reates have numbered only thirteen, one
writer explaining that the number ac
counts fir tiie misfortune they all expe
rienced In dying.
After i: n Jonson came tin- following:
Da venant, 1-. S-HAS; Dryden, IC’O-ltS(9;
Fiiadv..-il, lt;y.i-li'O2: Tate, H •.;-17!l: Rowe.
1711-171 S; En a!'n, ITii'-lo 1 -; Clbbf r, 17S0-1757;
Whit. iu-j.!, r>-17<>; Wart m, 175.-17>i; I’ye.
17!>O-l>'13; Southey, ISI3-1SK!; Wordsworth,
Ist :-15.'.0, and Tennyson,
From the earliest days of the poet lau
r -ites they have been objects of much rid
icule. and their poems have been subjected
to criticism as unjust as it has been severe.
Chaucir and <’>wi-r wire both regarded
as “royal authors,” and of them was writ
ten, in the course of a poem by J»me« f
of Scotland:
“Superlative as poetes laureate
In rhetorique and eloquence ornate.”
So, look out, Mr. Austin!
The Land of Promise.
“Tiie Land of Promise,” by Paul Bour
get, is a story in which the characters are
all on a continual upper ease of nervous
ten-ion. Tiiat Bourget is a strong writer
ai.J one wfio i.-' thoroughly able to turn out
s- -itenee after sentence in the smooth and
flowing stylo of the best Fr- nch writers is
not to lie deni .1. One would not thin!., to
look at tin 1 picture of the bn; les-s-llke, al
most blase-lcoking man, that there was so
much of the Intense in Bourget. To read
“Outre Mer” and then the “Land of Prom
ise” reveals Bourget in two very different
and two very strong lights.
The interest in “The Land of Promise” Is
sustained. Ti-.e tin me 13 one which could
l> - stated in a very few words, but which
h” has drawn out mincer, .arily, but w.th
foreefi 1 inti n The book in one which*
ii x f::r as pr int eg a moral g is worth
leis. It !;'■ pitched upon too high a. plane
> man ii • >ry is over-al 1 *®
certain dencu. ni nts, and the y ung wo
man, who saeriliees her love and makes
herself unhappy. Is a very impossible
young woman.
What the characters do may be very nat
ural, but th • r a sons lluurgi-t attributes for
tin- doings are not consistent with human
nature. Whire ii-e natural w- man would
! have thrown Tfi.mcij Nayrac aside from a
f-.-eling of wounded pride, Bour.uet burns
blu • leihis and inc use and thrusts in an
oppressive tense of religious zeal and
retributive Justice.
In early youth Nayrac mak< 3 a misstep,
which is very vividly brought to him in
afb-r y ears,.xs !.<*.■' he is truly and thorough
ly ; 1 lov-e with a y-oung woman well worthy
of the best 1 • l e cuuld give. Then fol-
1 ju-.v.: the 11! -in".. —the discovery by the
young woman, a. sudden shock and a
1 turn -ling down of almost completed cas
| ties.
1 There ts a gn at <!• al of truth in the
! simple, shorn facts of t ie book, but outside
■ of France, if even there, no three persons
ever suce' cii. d in living such a prolonged
hysteric life.
In style the book is fascinating, but one
can secure moral deductions el. ''where
wt'hout walking through so much mud.
This Utile extract will serve to show
Donegal's tomb:
“In til's solitude, animated only by the
I rustle of the foliage or the flight it the
i swan whos” clipped wings skimmed tiie
i sb-.r-ing water of an Invi- ible lake, the

I ward that part of the garden where the two
harmony, mnrrieii, so to speak, by an un
' certain, heedless steps, the steps of a happy
i pair whose slightest movements were in
*
| cot'.-cious accord, withdrew them and
i brought them near again, turn by turn.
I They app< arid, then disappi ared in the
I windings of the paths. They walk’d,
I stopp’d and walked on again. They looked
at one another, talked and were silent.
■ They wire so delightfully agitated and
1 charmed by th-' blue sky, the brightness
I of the day. the trees, the water, the flow
ers, aboxe all by themselves, by the magic
j of tiie beloved presence which would bring
I spring wl: re winter reigns; and added to
| the enchantment of the hour, but little
more would have made it exceed the forces
of tiie soul! Henriette and Francis had
about their persons that myst rious radi
anee which emanates from extreme happi-
I ness. They were sustained and exalted by
I that Intimate spirit of felicity which every
gesture of two heirrts who chcrisli one an
other whole-smiledly reveals. N< ver had
the lithe form of the girl been more supple,
her smile more retlneu, her face more deli
cate, her eyt x more blue, her cheeks more
rosy, her mouth more spirituelle or her
gulden hair more silky r.nd lustrous.”

I have just receiv’d a letter fi rn the
editor of The Australian Agriculturist, t!
is published at Sydney, in that far distant
land. This letter has traveled more than
half around the world fur 5 cent a 1 is
worth to me, for tl. re is comfort in it.
I had never heard of him but somehow or
other he ha* been hearing from me
through the press, and says he ju-t f. it
like re=|K»ridlng out ot tiie abundance ol I
hi.s good will for the south. “I am an j

when your final surr- nib r came 1 drat ■ 1 |
the flag with ciape and it is still nun lag
where 1 left it.”
Well, ot course, my unknown friend
wrote this letter before tl • laruj.li t-,
but i hope there will be no war just for
his sake. Hi.s long letter is full of in
formation about that worderful eoun’iy.
and even tells how they whipped li.-- t

The germs of consumption
are frequently coming into
our lungs. They are harm
less, unless vze let them grow
there. We have got to kill
them, or they kill us.
Our weakness is their oppor
tunity. They find lodgment
wherever our tissues are
feeble; they thrive on our
weakness. All we can do is to
lay up richness and fullness of
life against them. The single
word that stands Tr this life
is—FAT.

little bits of drops covered over
with glycerine, as pills are
coated with sugar or gelatine.
The fish fat taste is covered ;
hidden; lost. The oil is half
digested—digestion begins by
such a breaking up.
Hypophosphites of lime and
soda are in it —more of these
are alv/ays wanted in the body
when the health is such that
cod-liver oil is useful.
Scncfu&u
The germ that causes
scrofula is the same germ
tr.at causes consumption; but
in scrofula it is growing in

Scrofula is, in the main, a

your child has scrofula or
not; you must look to your
doctor for that.
He will tell you that the
