CONDENSED STORIES. Mow Lord Houghton Como to Bo Collod “Cool of tho Evening.” 8y<jney Smith’s name for Monck- ton Milne, afterward Lord Hough ton, was “Cool of the Evening,” and the reason for this choice is pi wealed in the anecdote below, -which is taken from the “Remi niscences of a Royal Academician.” At a London dinner given by a distinguished man, Sydney Smith had the place of honor, and Milne was among the other gilts ts. Milne’s manner to the great wit and divine was lacking in the re aped due to ago 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 be hap py to give you a seat in it, but you must do mo one favor. Don’t call the archbishop Howley I” The voice and manner of piteous entreaty convulsed tho company and crushed: Milne, who retired as soon as possible from the table. Thus* Solemn Canadians. Major Edwards, United States consul general at Montreal, recent ly paid a flying visit to Washing ton and met many of his old friends at the-capital, says the New York CONDENSED STORIES. The Cat Wat tha Only One Pretent Not Eirbarroeaed. The iata Thomas B. Reed enjoyed a joke on no one more than on himself. One such is reluted by a Washington society woman who en joyed his personal friendship. After til, the joke was chiefly on the lady, which may be the reason why she and not Mr. Reed was the narrator. She is a cat enthusiast. Many and beautiful are the cats she owns; grave and reverend are their names, chiefly borrowed from emi nent public |iersonages, but none was more handsome or dignified than the one she had named “Mr. Reed." When ore day the two “Mr. Retd.',” accidentally met in her re ception room ard the more illus trious of them, at tractcd bv the beauty of his furry namesake, stooped to ftroi.-e l.im ami ask “What do you nil him?” the lady had a fed -pu-.-ter otu minute. She did not know just how the czar of’the house of representatives would like the idea that a cat hud been named for him. So she stum bled out a hastily invented fictitious name, and the conversation passed to other topics, when suddenly a per emptory voice sounded on the stair way—“Mr. Recdl” “Mr. Peed!” it continued. “Are you in tho parlor? What are you doing in that parlor?” Before any explanations could be made a white capped head was thrust in the door way and an angry looking maidserv ant cried, “Come out of that parlor, I tell you, Mr. Reed!” It is not on record that the cat aeemed embarrassed.—Philadelphia Press. * The Baker’s Romance. During a recent tour in Spain Mme. Ella Russell received at her hotel every evening a parcel contain ing cakes, such as could be bought The Humming Bind. One of the prettiest and mogt in teresting of birds common to the aye is the humming bird. It is so very little and dainty and goes about its work with such an air of author ity that, one loves to watch it as It flits in and out of the honeysuckles. One must' be very still, for the slightest noise frightens it away. It has very gorgeous coloring. Tho upper parts are shining green, the wings and tail are quite, dark, and the throat is a blaring red. . In the winter it goer from south ern Florida to Central America. Tho nest is a very cute structure. It is made of plant down, then cow ered over with moss lichens and BvautlM of Tvaaitollif, In New Britain a missionary translating was seeking tome native Idiom to convey tho Idea of a binding oath when a chief suggested that the desln-d phrase was, “I would rather •peak to my wife’s mother than do such and such a thing.” In British Columbia a missionary wanted his catechist to translate “A crown of glory that fadeth not away." This was done to the satisfaction of all concerned, but ultimately the mission ary found to his horror that It had been rendered, “A hat that never wears out!" / An Awful Mistake.

Til CHADIAN TUMID TO in nLLOWS. Tribune. The major detailed many humorous incidents of hit experi ence in the metropolis of “Our Lady of the Snows.” Among'others he told of the call of a party of Cana dians after the Alaskan decision was made public. They were, naturally, highly indignant at the decision, and one of them said to tfie major, “Well, I suppose you’ll try and an nex what there is left of the British possessions next.” “Oh, I don’t know,” replied the major. “Why, wouldn’t you be in favor of annexation?” inquired the speak er, surprised at the major’s tone. “Well, you sec,” replied the ma jor slowly, “if Canada were annex ed to the United States I would loso my job.” No smile greeted tho reply, but the Canadian who had asked the question turned to his fellows and said very gravely: “Gentlemen, I think we ought to do all in cur power to make Major EdwarcWstay in Montreal pleasant and to facili tate his work. Ho is drawing a -salary from tho United States which would cease if ye were annexed, and therefore we will oppose annex ation.” __ . As They Say It In Taxes. “Have you ever been in Texas?” The man who thus inquired had vtTy evidently been there. He pro ceeded: ^ , “You knbw, they speak what is almost a language of their own down there, llcre’a an example: “A little girl went into a rural grocery store. ‘“Ain’t you got no eggs?’ the asked. “ ‘I ain’t said I ain’t!’ replied the storekeeper. ‘“Well,’ responded the girl, ‘I ain’t aat you if you ain’t; I ast you ain’t you is.

This is the day of garden hobbies, and the woman who has no garden is to be pitied, while she who has one puts into it all the fancies that she _ r once put into embroidery and eye Some of the°italian states hare destroying fancy work. One woman the white lily.

A Long Island woman has a green garden—palms, foliage plants and creepers—a dense greenness that makes a refreshing contrast to the statues and urns, all in purest white marble. Old world gardens are wonder fully picturesque. The borders art filled with sweet- smelling cottage flowers, the walks have box edges and there is a thatched cottage cov ered with roses and clematis, it the garden is carried out in detail. Ona such pleasancc has a picturesque in closure called “the ladies’ garden” and a curious old sundial made from a clipped shrub with the motto, “Give light to them that sit in dark ness and guide our feet into the way of peace.’—New York American.

A pretty story is told of the in troduction of the king of Portugal to his charming and clever wife. One day, when the crown prince, aa he then was, was calling on the French o.mbassadrcss, his attention was arrested by the photograph of a sweet faced, fair haired girl on tbe mantelpiece. Taking up the photo graph to examine it more closely, he said to tbe ambassadress: “What a charming young lady!” “Yes,” was the answer, “and she is as charming as she looks. She is the Princess Amelie of Orleans.” On the following.day the prince was on hit way to Paris, and a fort night later-his engagement to the beautiful princess was formally an nounced to tbe world.
