Spring Upon the Chlld’."
Lightning and blackberries come t:-
lgether in' the coast region of Texas
The people therehas a rule, are mort
partialjo the latter than the former.
One exception to the rule exists there
however, in Mrs. Pennington of Plun
Creek, who says that one timely strol-z-a
of lightning has done her more. gooc
than allthe blackberries in creation
could possibly accomplish. Just be-
hind t‘he Pennington home is a smut!
clearing, in which the blackberries
grow large and sweet and in abund
dance. One day Mrs. Penningto:
went there to pick some berries for
supper, and took her little biby gr.
with her. The baby grew tired in a
little while and the mother arranges
a bed of dry leaves for it under a she‘.
tering sumach bush. In a few min-
utes..t‘he child was asleep and the
mother resumed her berry picking. II
was an oppressively hot day, when the
air was full of electricity and not a
breath of wind was stirring anywhere
A squall was coming up rapidly from
the east, the lightning was showmg
dimly on its upper edge, but Mrs. Pen-
nington was apparently oblivious 01
the approach of the storm, glad only
~that her baby slept so. well and .gth
her so little trouble. But it was no
the storm alone that threatened dan
ger. At the very edge of the thicke'
and only a few feet from the Sleeplllg
baby, its eyes gleaming, its head lam
flat on the ground and its tail lashing
its tawny sides, a huge Mexican lior
was crouching ready to spring. For 2
moment it dug its hind paws nervously
into the ground, and then it leapeo
into the air. It fell dead only a few
inches from the sleeping baby, just as
a loud peal of thunder caused Mrs
Penninton to look around for t‘hl
safety of the child. '1 he baby awoke

NAVAL OFFICERS AS FARMERS.
0n Quitting the Sea. They Lean to Large
Slices of Solid Ground.
“Naval officers always settle .in the
country when they can,” remarked a
prominent naval officer to a Washing-
“During their ac-
tive careers, that is, during the time
they are at sea, they are necessarily
cramped for room, and while some 01
them on the large modern ships have
elegant and sumptuous quarters, then
is necessarily a limit to it. This thing
grows on a man to such an extent
that the first thing he does when he 15
retired, and in hundreds of cases long
before retirement, he hunts up. and
locates on a farm. Three of the ad
m-irals of the retired list, headed by
Admiral Ammen, are the owners 0-]
farms in the immediate. locality 01 -
Washington, and any number of othez
officers are similarly , provided for. -
though their farms 'are not soexten
sive. They seem to want stretching
room, and it will be noticed that whet
they do locate they secure big places
Their minds run into stock and chick
en raising. The officers of the Marine
Corps .have been noted for years a:
the owners of the speediest horse:
owned or driven about Washington
and they have been always promineni
in connection with our racing associa.
tions and-{organizations Naval om:
cers have been similarly prominent
It is different with army officers. Then
ambition seems to befornice house:
in the cities. The naval ofiicers’ idea:
all run toward the country. I don’t
like to give names, but I could give ‘
, dozens of illustrations to prove what 1
say, it it were necessary. Take a. 1001
at the incoming cars from any of tin
suburban places around Washingtox
any morning, and there will be suffi-
cient proof of what I say.”

TENNYSON AND THE Ps‘E‘RAGE. '
Refused a Baronetcy Three Tirixes.~.l)'u£‘. at
' Last Persuaded-to Accept, Iii.
_ Three times the bar'onetcy was of-
fered to Tennyson, says Mr.,Mabie‘ in
the Atlantic, and as many times he re-
fused it. When, therefore, one day in
1883, Mr. Gladstone said to the Laure-
ate’s son that for the sake of literature
‘ he wished to afier his father the high-.
er distinction of a. barony, there was
grave doubt about its acceptance. The
only difficulty which the Prime Minis-
ter thought insurmountable was the
possible insistence by Tennyson on his
right to wear his wide-awake .in’ the
House of Lords! Tennyson was so well
the peerage that he took the friendly
urgence of Mr. Gladstone with great
calmness, and at first was not to be.
moved from his determination to re-
main plain Mr. Tennyson to the end of
his days. He was finally persuaded,
however, that as the foremost repre-
sentative of literature in England, he
ought not to put aside a distinction
which would mark the formal recogni-
tion of the place and function of liter-
ature in the life of a. great people. “I
cannot but be touched,” he wrote to
Mr. Gladstone, f‘by the friendliness of
your desire that this mark of distinc-
tion should be conferred on myself,
and I rejoice that you, who have shown
such a true devotion to literature, by
pursuing it in the midst of what seems
to most of us overwhelming and all-
absorbing business, should be the first
thus publicly to proclaim the position
which literature ought to hold in the
world’s work.”
Nutritive Value of Sugar.
Experiments of an interesting new
ure have lately been made at the in-
itigation of the Prussian war office, to
endeavor to decide the question as to
whether the consumption of small
.1uantities of sugar renders the tired
'nuscles capable of -renewed exertion.
r11 order to obtain a practical result‘,
‘zhe person who was made the subject
3f the experiment was kept totally ig-
1orant of the object of the experiment-
ers. On one day a sweet liquid Was ad-
ministered, containing thirty grams of
:ugar; on the next day a. similar liquid,
containing a sufficient amount of sac-
:harine to render it indistinguishable
Tom the other as regarded taste. After.
-1 very large amount of muscular work:-
iad been performed, it was found that
getter results could be obtained on the
lays when the sugar was given than on
