 A suit was to be tried before him, and one of the parties stirred the community from center to circum- pass" by sending of and importing a lawyer.

 But there was one thing he couldn't prolong, and that was the prompt, crisp, decisive judgment for the plaintiff" that his honor snapped out as soon as the trial was fairly over, and almost before.

GladstOne's Closing Years.

Early in the sos, when he lived in Harley street, Mir Gladstone often walked from his house to Westminster by the way of Regent street and Pail Mall, and 1t was on one of these oc- casionns, in the yellow dusk of a win try afternoon, that 1 saw him for the first time. Even the few in the crowd, who did not know him were arrested by the rare distinction of his appear ance, which suggested both power and benevolence. Apparently in the prime 9f life, though actually beyond it, and With figure of supple strength and more than common height, his face pallld but luminous, he bore himself with that dignity and grace which no- bies and princes do not always inherit and the leaders of men can not al ways acquire. There was in him "a combination and form, indeed, to give the world assurance of a man" Other distinguished people might be mistaken for something less than they are-the late Lord Salisbury, for in stance, or Lord Rosebery-but it was impoSStDit lO see MT.

Those among the passers who did not know him SaZed and wondered; the others whis- pered his name, and many of them after passing him once, turned in their path and doubled on 1t for the sake of passing him again.
 SoGn after this it was my privilege to become acquainted with him per sonally, and frequent correspondence between us ensued. leading to occa- sional visits to Hawarden, which, need not say, made red-letter days for me and were looked forward to with no less appreciation than the memory of them justified when they were over
 His urbanity had an old-world quail ity of courtliness without the chill of ceremoniousness, and the visitor was quickly made to feel that he was an ob- ject of friendly interest and considered rather than the recipient of honors and privileges. ready as he properly might be to see himself only on that footing.

A BrfIIiapt Anniversary Celebration Which Was Perfect in
 Every Detail.

For a crystal wedding celebrated in New York the invitations came On imita. tion glass cards. The walls of the rooms were hung with French mirrors with beautifully carved frames of gilt and enwreathed in garlands of pink roses. the favorite flower of the hostess. Every flower holder was of clear glass and the lights were in glass candlesticks, white candles being used to heighten the crys- tai effect. But the glory of the party, says What to Eat, was the table and buffet in the dining room where cut glass was exclusively used. The brilliancy was dazzling; 1t was like millions of fairy rainbows. The souvenirs for the occasion were tiny glass slippers. A pretty feature was the passing of cut glass loving cup filled with fruit punch, and toast by the friends present. The next day asked the hostess to tell me the secret by which she keeps her fine collection of cut glass so clear and shin ing and has so few pieces broken, ard she gave me the following rules:
 Always temper cut glass before serv- ing anything very cold in it. lfyou wish 10 serve ice, first pour in little cold wa ter, then more. put in bit oi ice ard then more ice until the bowl is chilled Thisprevents breaking. Never wash cut glass in greasy water, or in very hot water. Use the best soap, warm water. and stiff brush. Wash carefully and go over the crevices with brush. Rinse in clear water of the same temperature and set to drain. Drain in box con- taining boxwood sawdust. When dry 20 over with soft brush or cloth to re move the sawdust.
 Put a folded towel in the bottom of the pan when you wash or drain cut glass. Do not put shot in cut glass de- canters, bottles or carafes as this scratches the glass. Cut potato parings in small bits and put them in with water. Keep linen towels for wiping glass as the

Then, passing the needle under the second fold, brought it out a third of an inch below, and repeated the same stitch with the folds marked 2-2, bringing the needle out at the first and passing it down underneath to No. 3, and joining it again with the same stitch to on the first fold, then passing the needle under the to No. 4. taking the stitch to the opposite 4, afterward going up ia the same way to 5-5, then 6-S. and so on
 'The whole principle Is first to keen equal distances. which is easy to do with the eye when the folds are creased even ly, and secondly, to preserve the elas- ucity which renders shocking so pret- ty and desirable. by always following the fold on the wrong side when taking an upward or downward stitch. If. as sometimes happens. this is imprac- ticable. the stitch should be fastened at the point where it is caught together and cut off.

 The mistress of the robes is chief of all the queens ladies and brilliant and imposing figure at all state cere- monials while, in addition to the man. ifold duties of her position, she en- joys the doubtful privilege of giving a state dinner on the evening of the opening of parliament, and of being attired in black when in attendance at court.
 Next in importance to the mistre ss of the robes come the four ladies of the bedchamber, who are rarely of less rank than that of countess. Unlike the mistress of the robes, whose ap- pointment is political, these ladies are appointed by the queen, and are usual ly either personal and dear friends or the wives or daughters of distia- guished men who have established a claim to royal gratitude
