8 THE OMAHA DAILY I1EE : STO DAY , ITEBHTTAHY 5. 1809. OOOOOCXXXXXDOOOODOOOOOO TENNYSON'S LOVE fOR CHILDREN , Played With Them by the Hour to Their Great Amusement. "When Tennyson waa . young man living at homo , ho so attracted lh children of 111 * family that tlicy would sit on his knee or cling about hla feet wblla lie told them torloB of hi : ) own Invention , Ho would make himself a Colossus of lUiodcs for the hoys , the fun being to rush under the arch way of Tils legs wllliout receiving a whack Jiom his open hnntl. The poet was devoted io his own children. Tlio mother , not being strong enough to walk far , was drawn In her garden carriage by her two boys , Xlallam < ind LloncJ , while the failier lilmself pushed from behind. Ho would read to them whllo they were flitting together on a bank In a Held , play foot ball with them , teach them to shoot with bow and nrrnw , and RO with them flower hunting. In rainy xvcathor father and boy * stayed Indoora and played battledoor nnd shuttlecock , a game of wlilch Tennyson was particularly fond. One of their amusements was the blowing of Boap bubbles , and the poet-father would brcomo excited over the "gorgeous color * end landscapes , and the planets breaking oft from tholr suns , and the single star becom ing n double tnr , " all of which he saw In the bubbles. In the evenings ho would help the boys to act scenes from a familiar play , or superintend their charades , writing amus ing prolougucs to help out 'the entertain ment. "Jlako tlio lives of children as beautiful ( is possible/1 was ono of the poet's ftuorlto saying * . Another was , "A truth- iul man generally has all the virtues , " and liln chief anxiety was that the children should nnrf TENNYSON PLAYING. BATTLEDOOR AN D SHUTTLECOCK. too strictly truthful. Ho insisted that they should bo courteous to the poor , and Ills son records that "tho severest punishment bo over gave me , though that was , it must lo confessed , slight , was for some want of respect to ono of our servants. " In the 'later years of the poet's life his Grandchildren loved a romp with , him and enjoyed their rides , when ho would fight them with newspapers , or play "pat-a-cako" with them. On ono of his last walks when bo had passed his 83d year , lie met the vil lage school children , and pointed his Htlck dt them , 'barking ' like a dog to make them laugh. WHY GLASS HOLDS HEAT. JVn Eiiilimallon of ( lie "Wave Theory of Kent anil Unlit. "It Is very curious , " Bald the old professor of physics , "to see how many market garden ers there are who ralso things under glass , make money out of tlio process and yet do not know why their heating frames and their hot-houses remain hot Inside. Now , as a matter of fact , the boat mechanism of a hot- ihouse depends on a well known proposition In physics. It la part of the wave theory of light and heat. I suppose you are ac quainted with the fact that the energy from the sun travels In the form of little waves. The energy docs not come down to us In straight lines ; it comes , as It were , In a rlgzag manner , dancing from side to side as It comes along. If these waves are very ibort , light i& the result ; it they area trifle longer they take the form of heat. If the ) lght waves strike anything on the way down they are very apt to bo made longer , or rather they are apt to bo turned Into heat. Now , the waves which form light are BO Its Tortures Known to Thousands. The riches and pains of Rheuma tism become a constant com panion to all who nro victims of this disabling disease. The peo- iple generally are not acquainted with the cause of the disease , though thousands know its tor- turo3. Everybody should know that Rheumatism is a peculiar acid con dition of the blood , upon which all liniments in the world can have no effect whatever. The best blood remedy ia needed one which is able to go to the very seat of the disease and force it out. Swift's ' Specific ( S. S. S. ) is the right remedy for Rheumatism , because it is fho only blood remedy free from mercury , potash and oth < ? r minerals which intensify the dis ease , causing stiffness of the joints and aching of the bones. S , S. S. neutralizes the acid condition of the blood , and forces out every troco of the disease , It reaches oven the worst cases where the doctors have made cripples with their prescriptions of potash and mercury. short that they will readily pass through glass , but the naves which form heat are ao long that they will not pass through. "From this , therefore , you may see why n hot-house remains hot. The energy from the sun passes Into the house through the glass roof In the form of light. Then It strikes the objects In the house and Is turned to heat. lint this heat cannot pass out through the glass. The heat waves are too long. So the light keeps coming In and the heat keeps accumulating , and soon the hot houses become very warm Imked , ovcu on the coldest days In winter. Why , It Is pos sible to store up heat in this way until 2l2 decrees , the boiling point ot water , Is reached. It hns been done. Of course our dwelling houses are heated .by the sun in tha same way , The light comes In through the windows , but the heat cannot pass out. " riMi PHAVIMIS. I'loiiN I'etHlou Tlcil < o 111Iei < ot n I'ortci Illrnn Hint. An ofllccr of the Forty-seventh Now York regiment , stationed at San Junn , writing to his mother In Brooklyn , furnishes Eomo news from that patt of Uncle Sam's new territories of much Interest. Ho says : "Sergeant llobertson of ours snared a very pretty bird In the woods before San Juan on Thursday last. Ho had been asked by a rel ative of his In Cincinnati to send htm as many specimens ot Porto Plciii lilril c li could get , and It was whllo pursuing his friendly duty that he captured something likean oriole , but much smaller and more showy of plumage. On taking the bird from the snare the sergeant was surprised to find attached to one of Us legs by a string a , bit of pasteboard about half the size of a email visiting card on which was written In Span ish : " 'Of your charity pray for the soul of Julio Valdez/ "This little episode excited a good deal of talk In the barracks , and Sergeant Robert son , In order to satisfy public curiosity , made Inquiries as to the identity of Julio Valdez In San Junn. Owing -to his ignorance of Spanish ho was not successful until ho fell In with Senor Prlntos , who speaks Eng lish fairly well , and was connected with the city's police department under the Spanish regime. " 'I was -well acquainted with Julie Val dez , ' said Senor Prlntos , 'and could tell you many stories about her eccentricities. I know all about that bird affair. Julio died last year and closed a checkered career In , to her , a manner natural enough. She was not a bad sort of woman by any means and certainly was very charitable. The eenora was the widow ot a Spanish general who loft her an annuity of a thousand pesetas. Half of this sum she spent In wine , a fourth In charity and the other fraction In her domestic affairs. "Some time after the Easter terra of 1807 , Julie , feeling tliat she was growing old and realizing that her end was near , went down to the store of Senor nomerez on St. Jago street. Ho deals In animals , and Julio being In funds she had Just re ceived her quarterly pension bought all the birds In his establishment , tied cards like that you have In your hand round their Oh ! The Pain "My wife was for years n sufferer from Rheumatism , nnd was treated constantly , but could obtain no relief. The doctors said the disease was llablo to strike the heart nt any time , in which event death would bo Inevitable. "Every kind of treatment recom mended for Rheumatism was given , including widely advertised blood rem edies , but none did nny good. She crew worse all the while and was re duced to a mere shadow of her former self. self."It "It was ab this critical period that ts. b.

Of course half ot tlio poor things were devoured by cats nnd birds of pr y prnycr and all within twen ty-four hours. "Such an idea Is not at nil o rig Ml In the Spanish \Vest Indies. The way In which she prepared for the repose ot her body , " however , is original In the highest degree. Soon after liberating the birds her health failed rapidly , and hence etie proceeded to mnUo her grave. She dug a hole In a hil lock situated In A llttlo pleasaunco In front of her house , which hole she lined with flno wool , and over the wool she placed a screen made out of her silk and satin gowns. She next lowered n coflhi Into the grave , also lined with silk , and ot the coflln she made Iicr bed for the rest ot her days.

Any well known saying or line of poetry will do > quite ns well. The point of the game is In the Illustrations , nnd the pleasure for all concerned Is only en hanced If some ot those who play this gnmo draw very childishly nnd others very welli U Is most fun when played by qultoj | largo party. Kach person thinks of a line of proverb to bo Illustrated and makes n picture at tbo top ot a sheet of paper to Il lustrate It. lie passes It to his Icft-hnnd neighbor , who writes bis guess at its meanIng - Ing nt the bottom ot the sheet of paper and folds It up , as In the gnmo ot "Conse quences , " each fold a over the top of the sheet. For example : Suppose the proverb Illus trated was "Birds of a feather flock to gether. " The Illustrator has made a picture of three owls sitting together on a branch ot a tree. Perhaps his llrst left-hand neighbor will guess "Wisdom Is better than rubles , " remembering that the owl Is the bird of wis dom. It will be passed on round the circle , and the next poroon may write the same thing , or mnlto some other guess , always folding up the shoot from the bottom until the owls get back to their originator , who lias meanwhile been writing guesses at other people's proverbs as tholr pictures came hurrying to him from the right. Thus everybody has made a picture nnd tias also guessed the meaning of everybody else's picture. And when each Illustrator has at last his own picture In hand again he unfolds the crumpled paper , and In turn reads off the guesses of the rest of the party. There Is sure to bo "a refreshing amount of cheering laughter , particularly over the guesses at the meaning of pictures which are so badly done that the picture makers themselves can scarcely tell whether they look most llUo cabbage beds , or last roses of summer ! iInK io Jei-iimilcin. "Marching to Jerusalem" Is an old game which always makes fun for a party of young people who are In the mood for a genuine old-fashioned romp. The fun Is sure to be hilariously .increased . if nn older person plays too , and It chance leaves out a grandmama or n dignified uncle on the first round the merriment Is certain to start well , for by the curious law of contraries In fun-malting , even a semblance of a "Joke on" one who Is willing to wear It gracefully and Is not often thus joked adds to the gayety. All "that there Is to > the game of "March- Ing to Jerusalem" Is run on for a half dozen or a dozen or more people to have ready against the wall chairs for all but one. Then ono of the party at a piano or cottage organ strikes up a march. If there Is no musical instrument , everybody beats time for a march by clapping hands like primary school children learning to keep time In marching. All march round and round and round the room. The leader at the piano suddenly stops playing , or the leader of the hand-clapping suddenly stops that , and on this signal for silence every body rushes for a chair. Ono must of neces sity bo left out , since there Is always one place lacking by previous arrangement. It sounds very simple , but for a good rollicking romp "JIarchIng to Jerusalem" Is as cheer- inspiring as a pillow fight of classic honors. A largo piece of wrapping paper pinned to the wall Is a good substitute for a black board In making the "study from life" called a "patchwork portrait. " The first would-be artist draws a head and carefully covers It with a piece of paper. The second adds neck and shoulders and covers bis handi work In like manner. The third draws the torso or body. The fourth draws ono or both legs. The fifth draws one or both feet. The sixth one or both arms. The seventh ono or bith hands , according to the number of players. AVhen each person's paper drap ery pinned over his part of the "patchwork portrait" Is taken oft and the whole "statuo unveiled , " so to speak , the result Is moro than likely to > bo laughably worthy a situa tion as a scarecrow In a cornfield rather than In a museum of art. But when people are playing at plcturo making they some times also develop or reveal talent. PUATTLE OP THE YOUNGSTERS.

" If the Idea of the teachers of Christianity Is to bring the deity Into the dally life of the pupil they have been eminently success ful In the case ot a llttlo girl living on the South Side , Chicago. She had taken her Sunday school lessons most literally , "Jessie , " she said to her elder sister a few days ago , "you ought to turn your toes out. " "I do , " replied the other Indignantly , and then she qualified her assertion by adding1 , "most of the time.

" AH clergymen regard ialklng to children as ono of the most hazardous functions of the ministerial onice , says the New Orlcana Times-Democrat , though many of them are apparently unaware that the colloquial and Interrogative method , which they often adopt for the sake of more effectually holding the juvenile attention , vastly Increases the liability ot catastrophe. "I will tell you. " said a visiting clergy man , addressing a Sunday school , "ot an adventure I once had In Colorado. I was going through a forest and I came face to face with an immense panther , What do you suppose I did ? " "You killed him , " uuggested one. "You runned , " shouted another. "No , children , there was no chance to run. I Just stood perfectly still nnd looked tbo fierce , snarling beast steadily In the eye. " "Which eye ?
