CAUSTIC CRITICS.
Whan Poet Clashes With Poet Then
Comes a War of Wit.
Tennyson has been severely handled
liy Ills fellow writers. Bulwer-Lytton
killed three birds with a stone when
he spoke of Tennyson's
Jingling medley of purloined conceits.
Out-babying Wordsworth arid out-Blitter
ing Keats.
George Meredith said of the “Holy
Grail” that “the lines are satin lengths,
the figures Sevres china. Why, this
stuff Is not the muse—it’s inusery. The
man has got hold of the muse's clothes
line and hangs it with jewelry.” The
"Idylls of the King” are "yards of linen
drapery for the delight of ladies.”
But, then, Tennyson once said ot
Meredith that reading him was like
wading through glue. And if Meredith
culled Matthew Arnold “a dandy
Isaiah,” George Moore has set It down
that “In George Meredith there Is noth
ing but crackjaw sentences, empty and
unpleasant in the mouth as sterile
nuts.” not a particularly happy bit of
style in Itself.
Of Carlyle’s “French Itcvolutlon”
Hallam said. "The style is so abomi
nable I could not get on with it.” and
of Ilallniu's “European History" Car
lyle remarked, "Eh! The poor, miser
able skeleton of a book.”—New York
Post.
SAWDUST HAS MANY USES.
Once Considered Waste, It Is Now a
Very Valuable Product.
The sawdust man in New York is a
very Important business man. Tko
wholesale sawdust dealer advertises all
kinds of sawdust and requests that you
will telephone your needs so that there
may be an early delivery.
It used to be that any one who want
ed sawdust went to the sawmill and
asked for as mueli as he wanted. There
was only one kind of sawdust In the
good old days and that was an unim
portant product, which anybody could
have for tin? asking. Now the saw
dust wholesaler will tell you that saw
dust is a very valuable product and
that the sawdust business is offering
greater opportunities.
There are about sixty kinds of saw
dust on the market, so says the saw
dust expert, and all of them have their
stated uses in the realm of trade.
All the way from the preparation of
food to the polishing of precious metal
ranges the usefulness of sawdust. The
hardwood dusts are used for polishing
in some jewelers’ shops and cheaper
sawdusts are used for polishing less
valuable metal work, lu packing and
making cushions, for the covering of
doors and in the fur business, sawdust
; is useful —New York Herald.
Legend of Buckingham Paiaoe.
| If William IV. bad gulued tils way
Buckingham palace would be serving
. as parliament house. Two days aftei
i the old houses of parliament were
burned Lord Broughton, who was then
first commissioner of works, records in
Ills diary: "Went to St. Janies’ and saw
his majesty. 1 cannot say he was
j much affected by the calamity, rather
! the reverse. He seemed delighted at
! having an opportunity of getting rid of
; Buckingham palace, said he meant it
! as a pcrmauient gift for parliament
; and that it would be the finest tiling in
i Europe. At J o'clock the king and
queen went over the ruins. The king
; looked gratified as if at a show. Just
before getting into bis carriage be
: called the speaker and me to him and
said: ’Mind, 1 mean Buckingham pal
ace as a permanent gift. Mind that.’ ”
