Sugar.

Every year fewer pound for pound pre-
serves are made. Why? Well, in old
days sugar was not as plenty and as
cheap as it is now. 1t was used more as
q food and was more craved by the appe-
tite. Nowadays we use sugar in album
dance and do not need preserves so much.
They don't taste as good as they used
to" because sugar is no longer luxury.
We don't like things as sweet as we used
to because of sort of digestive recoil
from so much sweetness. Therefore we
may allow q quarter of a pound of sugar
to a pound of fruit for canning and for
preserves not over three-fourths of q
pound, while marmalades and jams will
do with the same proportion. Only jel-
lies require the pound to pint rule to
give the proper consistency.

often q Cause of Surprise to Court
and Counsel.
The proverbial humor of the Irish is
unawed by the majesty of the law. Such
is shown to be the fact by a number of
cases cited in an article in The Green
Bag on "Whimsicalities of Irish Wit
nesses." The writer says:
The Irish witness, especially when be-
longing to the peasant class, is often a
trial to the counsel, for not only is he
quick at repartee, but his answers are
often confusing by their quaintness and
whimsicality.

witness asked the amount of his gross in

These witnesses are often confused
through the misunderstanding of words
and phrases, and rs a consequence many
a laugh cannot be suppressed, even by
the most strict tipstaff.
"Ie called me out of me name," said
witness in a case of assault The justice,
trying TO preserve the relevancy of the
witness testimony, said:
''That's a civil action, my good wo-

looked up at the justice.

"Begorra, IL We say so, I'll do 1t, but

''What do you mean?"
"Musha, it's left handed l am, an me

The witness evidently thought that his
physical ipcapacity would affect the value
of his testimony IL he used the right hand
for holding the book.

Her stock of German.

Among the anecdotes that are told Of
Max Muller is the following, which re-
lates to Liszt's last visit to London: At a
supper given to him by Sir Henry Irving
the great pianist was placed between Pro-
fessor Max Muller and Ellen Terry.
Liszt was not in a good humor. He re-
fused to speak English. and Miss Terry
so the professor had to interpret. Final
ly Miss Terry turned to him and said,
'"Tell List that / can speak German"
And when he turned to listen she said in
her girlish. bell-like voice: "Lieber Liszt,
ich licbe dich" Dear Liszt, love you).

He that hss slipped from the honey cell.
o listen him, and wish him WE'LL
His are the thoughts that live with roses,
With cloud shapes where the sun gate closes;
The glintings through green summer leaves
Are in the measures that he weayes;
There all the secrets murmured, purled
BY brooks or in the rosebud curled,
Or in the winds OF the nesting tree,
Not sleep can keep from melody.
Light fancy has he, irail and fair,
Like the orchid, rooted in the air,
And yet so searching is his art
Gray earth grows happy at her hearts
And wonders he the while he sings
At strangost bright, eternal things.

Betimes the god sings on alone.

There is a story concerning two Eng

north OF Scotland last summer.
While out driving one day they stopped
at a point of the loch where an attractive
yacht lay at anchor close to the land.
One of them shouted to the mate, an
old highlander, walking along the deck:

piece somewhat akin to David Gar
rick inasmuch as the central charac-
ter in each is an actor. In the former
this gentleman Of thousand faces is
one Clarance, who is represented as a
London favorite in the year 1910 He
is represented as friend of the Prince
of Wales, afterward George ", and a
pet of society. The actor falls in love
with the wife of the Swedish Ambas-
sador, who begins an intrigue with
him. He is il turn loved by Celia
Pryce, a stage struck girl, who com
promises herself by visiting him at his
lodgings The actor grows jealous cf
the Prince and insults him from the
stage. His friends desert him and his
countess love comes TO reproach him
for putting her reputation in jeopardy
but Celia clings to him Through all
and when London is closed to him he
finds comfort in her devotion. The
play is in five short acts, none OF
which drag or grow monotonous. Mr.
