"Cool of tho Evening."
Sydney Smith’s nemo for Monck-
ton Uilne, afterward Lord Hough
ton, was "Cool of the Evening,” and
! reason for this choice i* partly
i the anecdote Belov,
Reh is taken from the “Bemi-
jisi cnecs of a Iloyal Academician.”
^At a London dinner given by a
Rtujttiishcd man, Sydney Smith
had the place of honor, and Milne I

Milne's manner to the great vinj
and divine wot lacking in the re- j
epect due to age and position. He■
calmly addressed him as “Smith,”'
Which every time medo those who I
felt what was proper wince as at a .

Finally Miiue said, with some-1
thing of an air:

“Oh, are you '* So ant I.” and
Sydney Smith. “Maw 1 ask if you'
have a carryje here?” i
“No,” said tiie "Cool of the Even-1
lng.”
“Well, I have, and 1 shall be hap
py to give you a seat in it, but you
must do me ore favor. Don’t call
the archbishop Howloy!”
The voice and manner of piteous
entreaty convulsed tho company and
crushed Milne, who retired as soon

Those 8olsmn Canadians.
Major Edwards, United States
consul general at Montreal, recent

at the capital, says the New York

Tribune. The major detailed many
humorous incidents of his 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 aaid to the major,
"Well, I suppose you’ll try and an
nex what there it left of pe British
possessions next.”
‘‘Oh, I don’t know,” replied the
"inn jopi -f*'*
“Wh£ Wouldn’t you bo in favor
of annexation?”inquired the speak
er, surprised at the major*! tone.
“Well, you sec,” replied the ma
jor alowly, “if Canada were annex
ed to the United States I would lose
my job.”
No smile greeted the 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 oar
power to make Major Edwards’ stay
in Montreal pleasant and to facili
tate hU work. He is drawing a
salary from tho United States which
would ccaso if wo were annexed,
and therefore we will oppose annex
ation.” ' |

There is no part of the duty of
the modem hou.cwife that requires
more skill than tho selection and

the best ways of measuring a wom

ber how proud I used to be when

than to have my father say that it

What are presumably the largest

seen growing in tho gardens of a
resident of Pssadena, Cal. They
range from thirty to forty-three
inches in length and average half
an inch in width. They arc not,
only enormously large, but they 1
make a delightful table dSicacy

with cream and butter. The vines
bear profusely, and tho beans are sc
