found no sheltering place near his trees.

Dis,aeIi Liked Gladstone.

1t Is not generally known that on at
least four occasions during the decade
of the ffties Disraeli offered to sacri-
fee his personal position to Graham,
Palmerston and Gladstone successive
" for the interest of his country and
his party.
In 1868 and 1869 Disraeli defended
Gladstone against the carpers among
his supporters, Indignantly rebuking
the 'frothy spouters of sedition," as
well as those who preferred remem-
brance of accidental errors to gratitude
for splendid gifts and signal services"
Gladstone was a worthy foe. Disraeli
was as willing to give him praise as he
was unwilling to strike him to please
the popular passion of the moment, and
his ~magnanimity was frankly acknowl-
edged by Mr.. Gladstone.
When Disraeli stood for his last por-
trait-although suffering, he refused to
sit to Sir John Millais-Sir John noticed
his gaze riveted on an engraving of the
artists fine portrait of the great leader
of the Liberals.
"Would you care to have it?" in
quired Sir John. II was rather shy Of
offering 1t to you"
81 would be delighted to have it,"
Disraeli replied. Don't imagine that I
have ever dIsliked Mr.. Gladstone; ON
the contrary. my only difficulty with
him has been that l could under
stand him."

In and Ont.

A prominent physician in Baltimore
recently perpetrated a witticism at his
own expense. 1t was late at night.
The doctor had lost his night key; the
door was locked, and the more he rang
the night bell the more the suspicion
grew in his mind that some one had
chloroformed the entire household.
Finally, however, hfs sister was
aroused by a long ring Of the bell.
Naturally she thought that there was
some one at the door who wished to
see the doctor and that, as the doctor
was out, she would herself have to
answer the summons, else the caller
would keep her awake for a long time.
So, hastily throwing a loose gown over
her nightdress, she hurried to the door.
Opening the door the least bit, in order
not to present her dishabille to an in
truding eye, she shouted through the
crack in a tone of sleepy Impotence
1.-The doctors out" and was about to.
close the door when the physician.
thrust one foot through, at the same
time exclaiming:
"Yes, I know the doctors out, but he
wants to get wallpapers Weekly.

FLOWERS IN THE HOME.
A Claim That They Are beneficial In
n Sickroom.

n SlcIArOom.
The old notion still holds among
many people of this and other lands,
says the Family Doctor, that flowers
are not wholesome in a sleeping room.
Certain plants, among which are the
geranium, the lily and the begonia, are
supposed for some unexplained cause
to give off an odor at night especially
obnoxious, but scientific knowledge
and numerous experiments have re-
peatedly disposed Of these decisions.
1t is true there are Il few tropical
plants which give off Il perfume un-
healthful to breathe at any time, but
these plants are rare.
The green leaves of all flowers are,
on the other hand, most beneficial,
since they purify the air. That doctors
are beginning to recognize this is
shown by the fact that Il New York
hospital has a flower ward, which is
used for the treatment of suitable
cases. Persons confined to their bed
rooms with a bad cold, influenza, bron-
chitis or ven consumption cannot do
better than surround themselves with
pots of any kind of plant that has a
profuslon of green leaves. Geraniums
are the least valuable in this respect,
and strong smelling flowers, like musk,
should be avoided.
How the leaves act as therapeutic
agents is easily explained. What rem
ders the air of a room stuffy and I'M
wholesome is the carbonic acid gas we
breathe forth. Green leaves, however,
brathe it in, consume the carbonic
acid gas and breathe forth pure oxy-
gen. Moreover, they give off in vapor
the water taken up by the roots and
thus act the part of a bronchitis kettle.

but his parents removed to Ohio be-
fore he was five years Of age. There
was no school in the vicinity of his
fathers home until he was fourteen
years old, and then for a few terms he
studied in a log schoolhouse, after
ward teaching school himself and read
ing law at the same time.
The fact that General Grosvenor Is
one of the best known men in public
