Heenan, Sayers and the House of
Commons.

The prevailing emotion spread on Mon
day to the House of Commons. but in Il
milder form. The most intense excite
ment that l ever saw in the House was
the day when the prizefght was taking
place between Savers and Heenan. 1t
was-if | remember rightly-a Wednes
day. Almost every legislator was i'll the
cloakroom awaiting the news and eagerly
discussing this illegal combat. And when
the news arrived that Savers had fought
on with one arm disabled the enthusiasm
could not have been greater had some
battle of Waterloo been won. Sayers
subsequently was brought to the House
of Commons by some member, and he
was the hero of the hour. The greatest
orator that ever lived would not have
been listened to while this worthy man
was in the lobby.-London Truth.

TO CrYStaIIiZe Mint Leaves.

Gather the leaves of spear-mint, wash
and pick them from the stem. Dry them
on cloth and press in book for two
days, then remove them to a dry page.
This prevents them from becoming dark.
When they are dry and stiff they are
ready for dipping. Make a syrup of half
a cup of sugar and two tablespoons of
water. Let this boil with stirring until
it will spin thread. Set it back on the
stove on an asbestos mat, if you have
and sprinkle with graduated sugar.
When the syrup gets stiff add little
water, place over the fire moment,
then it can be used as before You can
repeat this until all the syrup is used.
This quantity is enough to handle at one
time.
