The Caustic CARLYLE,

j. e. Boehm, the sculptor, once met
Gladstone at a country house and was
immensely impressed by the extent
and diversity of the statesman's knowl-
edge, as revealed in his conversation.
Boehm was still full of the subject
when the morning arrived for Carlyle's
sitting for a bust, and to the philoso-
pher the sculptor poured forth his adj
miration for Gladstone's intimate ac-
quaintance with subjects SO far apart
as gardening and Greek. Carlyle lis
tened for a time in scornful silence;
then he said, "And what did he say
about your work 2" ooh, nothing"
said Boehm. "He doesn't know any
thing about sculpture" "Of course"
growled Carlyle, "of course, and he
showed his knowledge about things
that you didn't understand. No doubt
if you asked Blackie he'd say that
Gladstone knew nothing about Greek,
and the gardener would tell you that
he knew nothing whatever Of garden

According to Professor Knights

the ground of false spelling.
"Why, he actually spelled exceed

"Well," instantly replied Professor
