Gladstone's literary aims eve
failed to annoy Sir Robert Peel. That

Houghton. for instance, related how
he was at Drayton when Church and
State" reached Sir Robert. Peel hast1-

the book on the floor with the ex-
clamation: That young man will ruin
his 1ne political career II he persists
in writing trash like this" And on
another occasion he marveled hat a
man with a career before him should
want to write books.-London Chron-

When he yelled Votes for women!"
he was seized and handed out through
the press. There was never a man
more quickly removed. AS he picked
up his hat outside he confessed to the
policeman that he wanted to catch his
train. This is held to prove that the
pest way to get out Of a crowded po-
litical meeting in modern England Is
to call out Votes for women!"
Ironing linen has a greater effect
than is commonly believed. AS the
temperture Of the iron may greatly
exceed 266 degrees Fahrenheit 1t has

able service. especially In rural dis
tricts and elsewhere, In the absence
OF disinfecting ovens and sterilizers.
Nearly all microbes can be killed by
a sufficiently long application Of a
temperature Of 1873 degrees Fahren-
heit, but a temperature Of 266 degrees
Fahrenheit is required to kill certain
spores of bacteria and to produce alb
solutely complete sterilization.
