The Critic and the Lady.

Talleyrand, the noted Frenchmah,
possessed wit of so high an order that
1t has stood we'll the test Of time, and
his jokes are still good. The author
of Juniper Hail. gives two of his
sayings to Madame de Stael
He was a great admirer OF Madame
Recamier and Madame de Stael the
one for her beauty, the other for her
wit. Madame de Stael asked him one
day IL he found himself with both OF
them in the sea on plank and could
only save one, which it would be, to
which he replied:
"Ah! Madame de Stael knows SO
many things, doubtless she knows
how to SWIM"
When "Delphine" appeared, 1t was
said that Madame de Stael had de-
scribed herself as Delphine, and that
Talleyrand was the original Of Ma

EFFECT OF AcETYLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS.

Grow to Twice Actual Weight of Those

Victory For This New and Beautiful
Illuminant.
The experiments recently made ut
Cornell University prove that the beau
tiful rays from the gas, acetylene, are
as effective as sunlight on the growth
of plants, and this may soon become a
subject for serious consideration by all
progressive cultvators Of the soil.
The results of the experiments are
astonishing, inasmucl as they show
conclusvely the great increase of
growth attained by supplementing
THE Light Of Nature" with "The Light
of Acetylene" during the hours in
which the plants would otherwise be
in darkness. For instance. 4 certain
number of radish plants subjected to
acetylene light during the night grew
10 twice the actua! weight of the same
number of radishes given daylight only
all other conditions being equal. and
peas had blossomed and partially ma
tured pods with the help of acetylcne
light. while without the added light
not even buds were apparent.
Acetylene is already taking its place
as an illuminant for towns from Il CEN
trail plant, for lighting houses, churches,
schools and isolated buildings of all
kinds. and it IL being used successfully
for many other purposes.
A striking and important feature OF
acetylene is the ease and small expense
with which it can be made available
compared with the great advantages
derived from its use. The machine IN
Which the gas is generated is easily in

a Chocolste Party

A chocolate party is a new idea for
a Sunday school class or a church So
cia. The helpers serve hot chocolate
and cocoa with whipped cream, chloe
olate cake and chocolate ice cream.
Sell chocolate candles of different va.
rieties. 1t would be nice if they could
make them at home. A very pretty
touch could be ,iven if the girls who
wait on the tables would dress in the
costume of the chocolate girl who ap
pears on the tins of chocolate in the
stores. The dress is simple-a full
skirt. a white kerchief folded over the
shoulders, a full apron and a white
cap. The costumes need not be made
for the occasion, but may be devised
from the clothes on hand, or. if you
prefer to make it, cheap material may
be used. and the cut is so simple that
It will be little trouble to make.
