The Count de Choiseul, distinguished
amateur hortfculturist, finds the re
suits for pear trees most excellent. the
fruit grown on the north side OF the
wall being equal to that grown on the
south side. and even smoother. Other
well known nursery gardeners have
made the experiment with good results
for pears. peaches and apples. The
principal objection made to the glass
wall Is that II does not store up heat
like a masonry wall. to keep the
plants warm at night; during the day
time the heat is nearly equal on both
sides OF the wall.

A minister, so often the lone man
at various church gatherings, is some
times placed in positions that try his
patience as well as his tact. DR.. John
Kelman, noted Edinburgh divine,
who has recently visited this country,
is credited with a clever evasion in
just such an embarrassing position.
Following a certain missionary meet
ing of the ladies of his parish, sew
eral of them had fallen into more
or less heated discussion of the pre-
cocious attainments of their several
sons.
One good lady declared that her
eldest had mastered his alphabet at
the unusual age of fourteen months
Another maintained her child's supe-
riority from the fact that he had been
able to read Caesars "Gallic War" with
ease when only eight. A third called
upon the reverend gentleman to attest
the feat of her youngest son in re-
peating the Twenty-third Psalm when
but two years old as the most excep-
tional prodigy of them ALL
"Weel, ladies" said the doctor, hest
tating and smiling, "'tis sma use in

meet In Brussels, beginning on July

invitations to be forwarded to every

delegates from each. As the average
