Historical Accuracy.

Perish the thought that the novelist
or playwright should be tied down to
historical accuracy! Lady Dorothy
Neville quotes an amusing correspond
ence between Bulwer Lytton and her
brother:
My Dear Walpole-Here I am at Bath
bored to death. I am thinking of writ
Ing q play about your great ancestor, Sir
Robert. Had he not a sister Lucy, and
did she not marry a Jacobite?
My brother promptly replied:
My Dear Lytton--I care little for my
family and still less for Sir Robert but
7 know that he never had Il sister Lucy.
so she could not have married JaCobite.
However, this mattered little to Lord
Lytton, for his answer ran:
My Dear Walpolc-YoN are too late. Sir
Robert had a sister Lucy, and she did
marry Il Jacobtc.
So, III defiance of history, the play
"Walpole' came to lie written,

CHOICE MISCELLANY



The old familiar string tied around
parcel is to give place to sealing wax.
Al uptown grocer Vouchsafed this in
formation the other day, when instead
Of tying up bag Of cranberrIes with
q string he folded the edges Of the
mouth neatly together and, dipping a
stick of red sealing wax into small
gas fame near by, clappcd it on the
bag, effectually sealing it.
"Its all done in Il second, you see,"
he said. Gust touch the stick to your
package and shove it across the coun-
ter-no bother with CROPPING for a
string, then a whole minute wasted in
tying up the bundle, while other Gus
toners are standing around looking i'm
patient. Sealing wax is just as cheap
as string, too, and it makes a neater,
handler parcel. The druggists first be-
gan this business Of using sealing wax
for fastening packages. It proved to be
a good thing, and now dealers in other
lines such as statoners, confectioners
and tobacconists, are taking up the
practice. Manufacturers Of string are
already feeling the dropping off in the
use Of their product and are beginning
to view the advent of wax with alarm.
But don't see what they are going to
do about it unless they turn their cord
age factories into wax plants

IBSEN'S PARADOX.
And the Intimate Reelection of Science
to Society.

to Society.
Ibscn, my great COmpatriOt, has in
one of his works formulated the para
doy that the man is strongest who
stands most alone. There is certainly
some truth in this-nay, there is much
truth in it so far as science is con-
cerned. The man who in the search
for truth goes his way independently
Of other mon and Of other considera-
tons is certainly the man who is apt
to find the greatest and most valuable
truth On the other hand, it is also
true that science more than most other
things in life depends on cooperation,
on the help Of ones fellow beings, and
this becomes more and more true every
day. Many people are apt to forget
what science actually is and what they
owe to science, for it is through sci
ence that modern society actually eN-
lists, and the development Of society as
it is today would be impossible if sci
ence were eliminated. Humanity is
growing; but If science and the means
created by science are not growing, hui
mainly will have to look forward to a
very miserable future. Therefore the
nation that wishes to be cared for
must support science and those who
carry on scientific work Science will
live her own life and has done so ever
since the days when Prometheus made
his fatal expedition to the gods and
stole the fire which is more or less
burning in every one Of us and cannot
be extingushed. There Is something
sublime in this everlasting fire Of sci
ence. Generation after generation dis
appears. The individual is nothing, but
always ''watchful in the tower man
shall remain in sleepless contempla

The husband heard the silver ripple
Of laughter, and it aWoke some Of the
old thoughts. the old memories that he
had striycn 10 lay by, as a child lays
by its dear old toys when playing days
are over and done with.
And all Of sudden he felt very
weary and tired--tircd Of the lights
and the scent Of the great banks Of
roses that his Wife had ordered the
skillful florist to arrange-tired Of the
music and the faces and the crowd,
and he slipped away unnotlced to his
quiet study and sat there awhile to
dream.
He had gone into the business that
he had heartily disliked-for Margue
rite--and it had proved a success in
his hands.
They spoke Of him for a knighthood
this year. 1t did not elate him much,
but his wife was delighted, and he
was not tired Of pleasing her yet. Only
he had pleased her SO much once, he
had given up so much for her sake,
that every sense had been curiously
deadened to him since, and SO the
worlds wear and tear came and went,
and he felt but little of it,
And his ideals? They were laid
away very safely and secretly. The
steps he would have climbed with SO
much vigor and perseverance were
moss grown now and gray with mold.
ing age There was not much to work
for now-so much had come to him, he
supposed, by his own endeavors as
well as by good luck-and he had nc
child to leave it to- And his wife?
How tenderly she had caressed him
at the time of the sacrifice, how gently
her pretty fingers had smoothed the
way! She was SO much accustomed tc
1t all now, and he had 'llyed it down,
as she once said playfully to him. She
was always sweet and always beauti
full, and every one said he was the
luckiest man in London. Perhaps II
was true
/ He got up and sauntered back to the
+ drawing room. His lovely wife was
! chatting with a young barrster as he
, passed.
! MY husband would have been jus
like you today" he heard her say il
that exquisite voice Of hers, IF he hat
not taken my advice He took it, an(
you see the result"
The younger man looked round. H,
saw the beautiful rooms, the brilian
crowd, the flashing Of countless gems
the peerless beauty Of the woman VIII,
spoke; he heard tha music rising ant
falling i'll the distance and breathet
the delicate scents Of rarest blossoms
Again he saw the word success
written cveryWhere-success that he,
beginner, Il novice, could never hope t
emulate. Suddenly the worn face o
the master met his eyes. Il see the re
suit" he said Quietly.-London Lady.

Gerard, and dcspisc me for it if you

bitterly.
The man sighed heavily. Fate was
reer, light and hopeful as it looked a
short time ago, seemed sadly dull and
sombcr now. And why? Because Of
that lovely face that was turned away
from him so pctulantly.
He would say one more thing before
they parted, he determined suddenly.
He would have at any rate clear I'M

She turned to him with a new light
sparkling in her beautiful eyes. Had
she conquered at last-everyt thing, ey-
cry hope every ambition at her feet?
