How Lord Houghton Como to Bo Callod
"Cool of tho Evening.”
Sydney Smith’s name for Monek-
ton Milne, afterward Lord Hough
ton, was “Cool of the Evening,” and
the reason for this cltpice is partly
revealed in the anecdote below,
which is taken from tho “Bemi-
niseences of a Royal Academician.”
At a London Sinner given by a
- distinguished man, Sydney Smith
had the place of honor, and Milne
was among tho other guests.
Milne’s manner to the great wit
and divine was lacking in the re
spect due to age and position. He
calmly addressed him as “Smith,”
which every time made those who
felt what was proper wince as at a
personal affront.
Finally Milne said, with some
thing of an air:
“I’m going on to the archbishop’s
reception at Lambeth palace.”
“Oh, are you? So am I,” and
Sydney Smith. “May I ask if you
have a carriage here?”
“No,” said the “Cool of the Even
ing.”
“Well, I have, and I shall he hap
py to give you a seat in it, but you
must do me one favor. Don’t call
the archbishop Howlcy 1” (
The voice and manner of piteous
'entreaty convulsed the company and
crushed Milne, who retired ns soon
as possible from the table.
GOLD TREATMENT.
George Ade, at a recent banquet,
was asked to speak on success, “I
suppose that failure is more familiar
than success to all of us,” he said.
“We work away. Four things fail.
The fifth thing succeeds. The hard
est workers hare the most failures,
but then they have the most suc
cesses too.
“One of my early failures was a
melodrama that I traveled all the
way from Chicago to New York to
sell to a manager. This was in my
youth, when I had confidence in my
self. The manager returned my
melodrama. He said he didn’t care
for it. .
“I pointed out tho merits in it
which he had overlooked. I proved
that he would make a great mistake
if he should not accept this work.
But he shook his head.
“ ‘Can’t you use it at all?’ I ask
ed desperately.
“ ‘WpII y unit
‘Well,’ said he, ‘I might grind it
up and use it for a snowstorm.’ ”—

Quartz Glass.
Quart glass consists essentially of
melted quartz, which is made into
tubes and other articles. It is per
fectly translucent. Tho initial ex
periments in the manufacture of
the new glass were made in Eng
land. The manufacture of quartz
glass.has shown symptoms of vigor
ous growth. While two years ago
England led in its production, she
has since been relegated to second
place by Germany. Tho properties
of quartz glass arc such that it will
soon replace ordinary glass for
many uses. If quartz glass can be
produced at a moderate price—and
it seems to be quite possible where
electric force can be cheaply obtain
ed from water power—it will no
doubt be largely employed, especial
ly in the chemical und electrical in
dustries.
Cost of War.
If the drenm .of international
peace is ever approached—it seems
too much in the course of human
nature to expect that it will ever bo
thoroughly realized—one factor in
reducing the belligerency of the
world to a minimum will be the
cost of wan From a humane and
moral standpoint thero is little to
be said of war as an anomaly of
modern civilization which has not
been said. The cost of war is a
frightful item in the expense ac
count of nations, nor is this ex
pense of the present cost alone;
there remain the war taxg£ to
plague the people and hamper ef
forts to repair the ravages of war,
and the destruction of industries de
